Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (PSNY) received an amended Schedule 13D from entities associated with Eric Li, Geely and Volvo, updating their beneficial ownership and disclosing a new financing arrangement. The reporting persons collectively hold large stakes, including Eric Li with 60.5% beneficial ownership and Geely Sweden Holdings–related entities with up to 39.8%, based on 163,283,710 Class A ADSs and 996,419 Class B ADSs outstanding.
The amendment describes a new USD 400 million unsecured term loan facility from Geely Sweden Automotive Investment AB to Polestar, split into a USD 100 million Tranche A and an RMB-denominated Tranche B equivalent to USD 300 million. Proceeds may be used solely to repay certain outstanding loans, with evidence of use required within five business days of each draw. The facility matures 365 days after the first utilization and includes an option for the lender, subject to regulatory approvals, to convert all or part of principal and interest into Polestar shares at an equity conversion price based on the 5-day average NASDAQ closing price of the Class A ADSs before the conversion notice.

Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (PSNY) entered into a credit agreement on September 3, 2026 for a USD 400,000,000 term loan facility with affiliate Geely Sweden Automotive Investment AB as lender and agent. The facility comprises a committed USD 100,000,000 Term A Loan in U.S. dollars and an uncommitted USD 300,000,000 Term B Loan to be disbursed in Renminbi, available for repayment of certain existing loans.
The facility can be drawn until September 30, 2026 and must be repaid 365 days after the first utilization, unless the lender exercises an equity conversion option based on the 5-day average NASDAQ closing price of Polestar’s Class A ADSs. The loan is subordinated to existing multicurrency green term loan facilities totaling EUR 340,000,000 and USD 583,489,000, and repayment at maturity requires those lenders’ consent to release subordination. Interest on Term A is Term SOFR (zero floor) plus 3.20%, and Term B bears 4.48% (or the Term A rate if disbursed in USD), with all interest payable at termination.
The facility is unsecured and includes customary covenants, events of default, and mandatory prepayment on change of control or illegality. Following any equity conversion, Polestar has agreed to treat the resulting conversion shares as registrable securities and to file a Form F-3 shelf registration for their resale within 90 days of the equity conversion date.
Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (PSNY) reports H1 2026 revenue of $1.36 billion, down 4.4% year on year, with retail sales essentially flat at 30,423 vehicles. Gross loss narrowed sharply to $115 million from $703 million, improving gross margin from -49.4% to -8.4%.
Net loss improved to $842 million from $1.19 billion, but Adjusted EBITDA deteriorated to -$521 million, reflecting restructuring and ongoing scale-up costs. Cash and cash equivalents were $887.6 million with free cash flow of -$1.06 billion and net current liabilities of $4.70 billion. Management discloses a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, dependent on successful refinancing and additional funding.
The U.S. Department of Commerce decision under the Connected Vehicle Rule means Polestar expects to cease selling new model-year 2027 vehicles in the U.S., triggering a U.S. restructuring. Management estimates U.S. operations increased consolidated operating and net loss by about $211 million in H1 2026, including roughly $130 million of negative adjustments tied to that decision.
