On September 4, 2025, Robo.ai
Inc.’s subsidiary, NWTN Investment L.L.C.-FZ, a company incorporated in the United Arab Emirates (the “Company”), entered
into a joint venture agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) with JW Global Holding L.L.C-FZ, a company incorporated in
the United Arab Emirates (“JW”), and Ferox Investment L.L.C., a company incorporated in the United Arab Emirates (“Ferox,”
together with the Company and JW, the “Parties”), to establish a limited liability company in the United Arab Emirates with
a proposed corporate name of “Robo.AI Industrial City” (the “JV Company”). The authorized activities of the JV
Company will include, but are not limited to, premium intelligent vehicles production and distribution, eVTOL production and distribution,
production of smart logistics and delivery hardware, and development of other smart devices.
Pursuant to the Joint Venture
Agreement, the Company will hold 51% of equity interest in the JV Company through contribution of supply chain management, technology
products and relevant intellectual property; JW will hold 24.5% of equity interest in the JV Company through contribution of land/plant/warehouse
and local regulatory approval support; and Ferox will hold 24.5% of equity interest in the JV Company through contribution of business
development and marketing services. The JV Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) will consist of five members,
with three (including the Chairman) appointed by the Company, one by JW and one by Ferox. The Company will be entitled to appoint the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the JV Company.
Net annual profits and losses
will be allocated to shareholders on a pro rata basis according to their respective ownership percentages, after taking into account statutory
reserves, tax obligations, debt repayment, and working capital requirements. Retained earnings must cover at least twelve months of forecast
operating expenses and additional amounts reasonably determined by the Board, with distributions made within 90 days of board approval
of the annual statutory audit of the JV Company.
All pre-existing intellectual
property remains with the contributing Party. Intellectual property developed by the JV Company will be owned by the JV Company, while
any intellectual property developed by the JV Company incorporating a Party’s pre-existing intellectual property will be jointly
owned or licensed back to that Party for use outside the JV Company’s business scope.
The Joint Venture Agreement
has a term of 20 years and may be renewed by mutual written consent. In the event of a material breach by any Party, the non-breaching
Parties may terminate the Joint Venture Agreement and claim compensatory damages. Parties are entitled to buyout rights in the event of
other Party’s material breach, insolvency, liquidating or change of control. In the event of a sale of more than 25% of equity interest
in the Joint Venture Company to a third party, the non-selling Parties are entitled to the right of first refusal and a tag-along right.
