REE Announces Cost Reduction Measures to Sustain Long-Term Growth

■	Initiated cost reduction measures targeting a 55% decrease in operating costs to a projected average of approximately $2.7 million per month by year-end related to pause in production and an approximately 50% reduction-in-force
■	The company aims to extend its financial runway beyond 12 months
■	REE’s new organizational structure is designed to allow a more streamlined operation with stronger focus on licensing its SDV technology aimed to enhance long-term stability

TEL AVIV (June 9, 2025) – REE Automotive Ltd. (Nasdaq: REE), an automotive technology company that develops software-defined vehicle (SDV) technology solutions, today announced that it has implemented cost reductions across its business to streamline its cost structure and extend its expected financial runway.

The company aims to focus its resources on SDV technology, improve its organizational structure and enhance operational efficiency in the near term, while supporting long term growth, by adjusting its workforce across the U.S., Israel and the U.K. The cost-saving measures are expected to lower operating expenses from a monthly average of approximately $6 million to approximately $2.7 million monthly average by year-end. Starting with these actions, the company aims to extend its cash runway beyond 12 months. The expected savings are offset, in part, by a one-time charge of approximately $2.1 million related to the reduction-in-force plan.

“We are taking immediate steps to stabilize operations in order to position REE to be a sustainable business in the long-term,” said Daniel Barel, CEO and co-founder of REE Automotive. “These actions, while difficult, are necessary to address the volatile global macro-economic conditions. They allow us to focus our resources on our strong technological core by maintaining our core R&D and engineering capabilities to ensure that we remain focused on innovation and value creation driven by our strong talents. We are becoming a leaner operation that will also focus on driving forward our licensing and partnership models for our SDV technology while maintaining our core production abilities for when the time is right. We are encouraged by the opportunities that we anticipate ahead and look forward to accelerating our software products while generating shareholder value.”
