Investments
Properties, in its own words
Our principal executive offices and primary operational facility are located at 5818 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, California 92008. This facility consists of approximately 77,000 square feet of leased space. The current lease agreement for this facility, as amended in March 2026, expires on March 31, 2028.
This Carlsbad facility currently houses our corporate headquarters, research and development activities, engineering operations, and vehicle prototyping and validation activities. We believe this facility is currently adequate for these ongoing purposes.
The rest of Item 2
A significant portion of this facility is also designated for our planned initial low-volume manufacturing and assembly of the Aptera vehicle. We are in the process of preparing this area with the intention of accommodating initial production runs. We believe this space, once fully equipped and operational, will be suitable for commencing low-volume production and meeting our initial market demand.
As we scale our production to meet broader market demand and our longer-term production targets, we anticipate that we will require additional manufacturing capacity, which may involve expanding our current facility if feasible, or securing or constructing additional manufacturing facilities in the future. Our ability to secure or develop such additional facilities will depend on various factors, including our success in raising future capital.
We do not own any real property.

Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Aptera Motors Corp names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 30, 2026: 50 risks under these headings, as written.3
- Risk Related to Our Business
- We have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our performance, and have not yet generated any profits. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks that any new company encounters.
- Our auditor has issued a “going concern” opinion.
- The Company plans to raise significantly more capital and future fundraising rounds, which may include offering equity at a significant discount to the price offered in this offering, which could result in dilution to investors in this offering.
- We will require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
- We anticipate that we will initially depend on revenue generated from a single vehicle model and in the foreseeable future will be significantly dependent on a limited number of models.
- Tariffs and related trade barriers could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- We have not yet commenced production of our vehicles and have limited experience in high volume manufacture of our vehicles.
- If our vehicles fail to perform as expected, our ability to develop, market and sell or lease our products could be harmed.
- Vehicle reservations may not result in actual sales, and because all reservations are fully refundable, our forecasted revenues and cash flows could be adversely affected.
- The Company operates in a capital-intensive industry.
- We may incur indebtedness in the future which could reduce our financial flexibility and adversely impact our operations and our costs.
The other 39 risks
- Aptera operates in a highly competitive market.
- We face significant technological and legal barriers to entry.
- Our success is dependent upon consumers’ willingness to adopt energy-efficient, solar-powered vehicles.
- Developments and improvements in alternative technologies such as hybrid engine or full electric vehicles, or in the internal combustion engine, or continued low retail gasoline prices may materially and adversely affect the demand for our energy-efficient, solar-powered vehicles.
- Our vehicles face several regulatory hurdles.
- Passenger vehicles, like those produced by the Company, are highly regulated and are subject to regulatory changes.
- Demand in the passenger vehicle industry is highly volatile.
- We may be affected by uncertainty over government purchase incentives.
- We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.
- Limited intellectual property protection may cause us to lose our competitive advantage and adversely affect our business.
- There is currently pending litigation against the Company.
- The Company is aware that it is the subject of an investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
- Our failure to obtain or maintain the right to use certain intellectual property may negatively affect our business.
- The Company’s insurance may not be sufficient.
- Aptera depends on a small management team and may need to hire more people to be successful.
- The Company relies on outside parties to provide technological and manufacturing expertise.
- A global economic recession, government closures of banks and liquidity concerns at other financial institutions, or other downturn may have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
- Risks Related to Our Existence as Public Benefit Corporation
- Our status as a public benefit corporation may not result in the benefits that we anticipate.
- As a public benefit corporation, our duty to balance a variety of interests may result in actions that do not maximize stockholder value.
- Our directors have a fiduciary duty to consider not only our stockholders’ pecuniary interests, but also our specific public benefit and the best interests of stakeholders materially affected by our actions. If a conflict between such interests arises, there is no guarantee such a conflict would be resolved in favor of our stockholders.
- As a public benefit corporation, we may be subject to increased derivative litigation concerning our duty to balance stockholder and public benefit interests, the occurrence of which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
- Risks Related to Ownership of our Class B Common Stock
- We do not intend to pay dividends on our capital stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our Class B common stock.
- The Class B common stock has no voting rights.
- The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders who held our capital stock prior to our listing, including our directors, executive officers, and 5% stockholders who hold in the aggregate 83% of the voting power of our capital stock following the registration and listing of our Class B common stock on Nasdaq, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors and the approval of any change of control transaction.
- Our Amended Charter contains exclusive forum provisions for certain claims, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.
- Delaware law and provisions in our Amended Charter and Bylaws could make a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest difficult or more expensive, thereby negatively impacting the trading price of our Class B common stock.
- The uncertainty associated with the fact that few companies have undertaken direct listings to date may lead to increased volatility and pricing challenges for our Class B common stock.
- Market volatility may affect the value of an investment in our Class B common stock and could subject us to litigation.
- None of our stockholders are party to any contractual lock-up agreement or other contractual restrictions on transfer. Sales of substantial amounts of our Class B common stock in the public markets, or the perception that sales might occur, could cause the trading price of our Class B common stock to decline.
- The dual class structure of our common stock may adversely affect the trading market for our Class B common stock.
- If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, the price of our Class B common stock and trading volume could decline.
- We are an “emerging growth company” and intend to take advantage of the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies which may make our Class B common stock less attractive to investors.
- Risks Related to Being a Public Company
- The requirements of being a public company, including maintaining adequate internal control over our financial and management systems, may strain our resources, divert management’s attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members.
- Management identified certain material weaknesses relating to stock-based compensation accounting and a lack of formalized accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures, resulting in the Company not maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting as of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
- We have previously restated our financial statements and may be required to restate our financial statements in the future, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our securities.
- Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.
- Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
- If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our operating results could be adversely affected.
- We are not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s requirements for a majority-independent board and an audit committee composed of three independent directors, which could create additional risks until we achieve compliance.
Legal proceedings
In August 2024, Zaptera USA, Inc. (“Zaptera”) filed a complaint against Aptera Motors Corp. in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. Following amendments and motions to dismiss, Zaptera presently asserts claims against Aptera Motors Corp. and certain associated individuals for design patent infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, and declaratory judgment of patent ownership. It also asserts breach of contract claims against the individuals, but not the Company itself. Zaptera seeks various remedies, including damages and injunctive relief.
On October 10, 2025, Aptera Motors Corp. and the individual defendants filed their answers and affirmative defenses to Zaptera’s amended complaint. Aptera Motors Corp. intends to vigorously defend this litigation and continues to believe the claims are without merit. However, litigation is inherently uncertain, and an unfavorable outcome could materially harm our business.
In January 2025, we received a subpoena for documents from the staff of the SEC related to our securities offerings and the production, design, and manufacture of our vehicles (the “SEC Investigation”). This subpoena is part of the ongoing SEC Investigation. We are cooperating fully with the investigation and are producing documents in response to the subpoena.
The SEC has informed us that the investigation does not mean that it has concluded that anyone has violated the law and that the receipt of the subpoena does not mean that the SEC has a negative opinion of any person, entity, or security. However, we cannot provide any assurances as to the outcome of this investigation or its potential effect, if any, on our Company.
