Appendix A

The Parties have agreed that all prices for Polestar Vehicles payable by Importer to Seller will be established on an arm’s length basis and should be set in order for Importer to earn a full and complete compensation (the “Importer Profit”) consisting of (i) a compensation for the importation services provided by Importer (“Xxxxx-Ratio Compensation”) , (ii) a compensation for Carrying Cost (“Carrying Cost Compensation”), as well as (iii) an amount corresponding to USD [***] (“Fixed Fee Compensation”) multiplied by the number of Polestar Vehicles imported during the time period.

The Xxxxx-Ratio Compensation should be established according to what is set forth below:

The Parties have agreed that the Xxxxx-ratio Compensation should be established by applying the Transactional Net Margin Method (TNMM) and applying the Xxxxx Ratio achieved by comparable uncontrolled importer companies performing substantially the same functions and assuming substantially the same risks as are performed and assumed by Importer.

The Xxxxx Ratio Compensation shall, for the purpose of calculating the prices of Polestar Vehicles be computed as a xxxx-up on the Value Adding Operating Expenses incurred by Importer.

For purposes of applying the TNMM, the arm’s length Xxxxx Ratio xxxx-up should be reviewed and agreed between the Parties on a yearly basis. The arm’s length Xxxxx Ratio xxxx-up applied should be in line with the latest Comparable Study/Benchmarks.

For this purpose, the term “Value-Adding Operating Expenses” shall include only those operating expenses incurred by Importer for value-adding functions performed by Importer and shall not include expenses for cost of goods sold, advertising, sales incentives, promotion, product warranty, or product liability. Expenses that Importer incurs in implementing or administering these programs, however, are included in Value-Adding Operating Expenses.

The Carrying Cost Compensation should be established according to what is set forth below:

The Carrying Cost Compensation shall be calculated as the product of (i) the arm’s length interest rate and (ii) the average annual value of Importer’s trade accounts receivable plus inventory minus trade accounts payable.

For the purpose of calculating the Carrying Cost Compensation the arm´s length interest rate should be reviewed and agreed between the Parties on a yearly basis. The arm’s length Interest rate applied should be in line with the latest Comparable Study/Benchmarks.

Initial transfer prices

The initial transfer prices shall be mutually agreed on and based upon:

• Target unit sales volumes and expected resale prices for Polestar Vehicles to be made and received by Importer during a calendar year, with respect to sales to the Distributor

15 | Page

PS22-019

• Budgeted expenses or refunds to be incurred by Importer for any activity, action or event related to the import, purchase and resale of the Polestar Vehicles during the calendar year,

• Budgeted Value-Adding Operating Expenses to be incurred by Importer for the purpose of import of Polestar Vehicles and sales to the Distributor,

• A Comparable Xxxxx-Ratio xxxx-up, as determined as set forth above, on budgeted Value-Adding Operating Expenses, and

• A return on Importer’s average level of Net Operating Assets (“Carrying Costs Compensation”).

• A fixed fee compensation [***] USD multiplied by the number of Polestar Vehicles forecasted to be imported the calendar year.

When setting the initial Transfer Price the custom (legal) requirements should be considered. For the purpose of assessing of the initial transfer price is in fulfillment of the custom (legal) requirements Seller and Importer shall apply the same method being used for Importer’s import of other vehicles.

Evaluating and adjusting transfer prices

On a monthly basis, the full and total compensation (importation compensation plus Carrying Cost Compensation) incurred by Importer with respect to its importation of Polestar Vehicles from Seller and Seller’s Affiliates during the calendar year shall be determined.

If the aggregated actual Importer Profit is greater than the sum of the Xxxxx-Ratio Compensation, the Carrying Cost Compensation and the Fixed Fee Compensation calculated according to what is set forth above, there shall be deemed to exist an excess in the amount of Importer’s operating profit (hereinafter an “Excess”).

If the aggregated actual Importer Profit is less than the sum of the Xxxxx-Ratio Compensation, the Carrying-Cost compensation and the Fixed Fee Compensation calculated according to what is set forth above, there shall be deemed to exist a shortfall in the amount of Importer’s operating profit (hereinafter a “Shortfall”).

In the event of any Excess, there shall be a possibility to pay such Excess to Seller as an additional purchase price for the Polestar Vehicles purchased from Seller or Seller’s Affiliates during the calendar year to which the Excess relates. In the event of any Shortfall, Seller shall have the possibility to pay such Shortfall to Importer as a rebate of the transfer prices paid for the Polestar Vehicles purchased from Seller or Seller’s Affiliates during the calendar year to which the Shortfall relates.

Any adjustments resulting from the preceding paragraph shall be settled by way of credit or debit notes issued by Seller within 30 days of the determination of the amounts thereof. Any sums due are payable on standard intercompany terms, less payments, if any, on account of additional purchase price adjustments made or received during the year.
