Lordstown Motors settles Karma trade secret litigation for $40M; seeks court approval by Aug 28
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Settlement includes $40M payment ($5M as royalty) for a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual IP license from Karma.
- Mutual releases and dismissal of Karma Action with prejudice upon final bankruptcy court approval.
- Avoids trial scheduled for Sept 12, 2023, which could have hindered asset sales in Chapter 11.
- Settlement contingent on Bankruptcy Court approval by August 28, 2023; motion filed Aug 15.
- Removes a major litigation risk and uncertainty for Lordstown's Chapter 11 process.
