Rivian Automotive, Inc. (RIVN) announced that its committed $1.0 billion Loan A and $1.0 billion Loan B term loans, arranged in connection with its existing joint venture, were funded in full on October 7, 2026. The joint venture borrowed Loan A from Volkswagen Specter LLC, and used its proceeds to fund Loan B, borrowed by Rivian JV SPC, LLC from the joint venture. The SPV distributed Loan B proceeds to Rivian, which intends to use them for general corporate purposes.
Both loans mature October 7, 2036, and bear fixed annual interest of 5.93% for Loan A and 6.03% for Loan B. Beginning on the third anniversary of the funding date, each requires $100.0 million of principal repayment per year, in two $50.0 million installments; the remaining principal is due at maturity. Loan A is secured by all joint-venture assets, while Loan B is secured by Rivian SPV's 50% joint-venture equity interest. Neither loan is guaranteed by Rivian or another person or entity. Loan B is non-recourse to Rivian and may be prepaid without premium or penalty on prior written notice; a Loan B prepayment requires a corresponding Loan A prepayment, equal to the Loan B prepayment or the amount needed to pay Loan A in full.

Scaringe under the 2021 Plan. The exercise price is $15.22 per share, and vesting is entirely performance- and service-based, with tranches tied to stock price hurdles and financial targets.
