[SCHEDULE 13D/A] Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC Class C-1 ADS (ADW) SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 6) for Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (PSNYW) discloses the updated beneficial ownership positions of major shareholders as of 16 June 2025.

• Eric Li directly and through associated entities reports 1,725,045,301 Class A ordinary shares with sole voting power over 2,174,078,476 shares, representing 81.4 % of the class.
• Volvo Car Corporation and affiliated holding vehicles (Volvo Car AB and Snita Holding B.V.) each disclose 380,322,995 shares, equivalent to 17.9 % of the class; voting and dispositive power is held solely or through wholly-owned subsidiaries.
• PSD Investment Limited and PSD Capital Limited each report 828,013,737 shares (sole voting power on 1,277,046,912) for an effective 39.1 % stake.
• Geely Sweden Holdings AB and Shanghai Geely Zhaoyuan International Investment Co. each register 897,031,564 shares (42.3 %).

The filing confirms that Geely-related entities and their founder Eric Li remain the controlling shareholder group, holding well above a majority of outstanding shares. No financial results, earnings data, or new transactions are included; the amendment is limited to ownership disclosure.

Positive

• Clear disclosure of beneficial ownership adds transparency for investors.
• Major insider ownership (81.4 %) can align controlling shareholder’s interests with long-term company performance.

Negative

• Extreme concentration of voting power (81.4 % held by Eric Li) limits minority shareholder influence and heightens governance risk.
• Free-float liquidity remains low, potentially increasing volatility and reducing index inclusion eligibility.

Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR – Geely founder Eric Li controls 81 %, reinforcing single-shareholder dominance; minority influence remains limited.

This amendment reiterates that Eric Li, via various Geely and offshore vehicles, exercises decisive control over Polestar, with sole voting authority on more than four-fifths of the stock. Volvo-related entities hold significant but subordinate blocks (≈18 %), while PSD-labeled BVI entities sit at ≈39 %, likely within the same overarching structure. Such concentration centralises strategic decision-making, simplifies capital backing, and may align long-term vision, yet it also heightens governance risk by curtailing minority leverage over board composition, related-party transactions and future dilutions. Because the filing reports positions rather than incremental changes, market impact should be modest, but investors should price in the entrenched control dynamic.

Portfolio Manager

TL;DR – Ownership confirms stability; no immediate trading catalyst detected.

The document provides transparency on who controls the float: Eric Li retains a super-majority, Volvo retains a strategic minority, and other Geely vehicles round out the register. There is no evidence of share sales or new financings, so liquidity and free float remain largely unchanged. From a valuation standpoint, controlling ownership can support long-term capital injections but limits takeover optionality. Absent shifts in percentages or voting arrangements, I regard the filing as routine housekeeping with negligible impact on near-term price action.

The filing lists 1,725,045,301 Class A shares, equal to 81.4 % of the outstanding class.

What stake does Volvo Car Corporation hold in Polestar?

Volvo Car Corporation reports 380,322,995 shares, representing 17.9 % of the class, with sole voting and dispositive power.

Does the Schedule 13D/A include any new transactions or financing for PSNYW?

No. The amendment is limited to ownership disclosure; it does not detail financings, earnings, or operational developments.

Why was an amendment to Schedule 13D filed on 16 June 2025?

Amendments are required when material changes occur in previously reported information; here, it updates beneficial ownership details.

What governance risks arise from a single shareholder owning over 80 % of Polestar?

Such control can override minority votes on mergers, board elections, and related-party transactions, reducing minority influence.
