INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

GENERAL

As previously reported by Arrival (the “Company”) on December 4, 2023, the Company did not make the semiannual interest payment due on December 1, 2023 (the “December Interest Payment”) under its 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). As provided for in the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”), the Company is entitled to a 30-day grace period (the “Cure Period”) to make the December Interest Payment before such failure became an event of default under the Indenture.

The Company did not make the December Interest Payment during the Cure Period. Accordingly, there is an event of default under the Indenture, pursuant to which the trustee under the Indenture or holders of the requisite amount of Notes specified in the Indenture may accelerate all amounts due thereunder.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
