This Schedule 13D/A marks the closing of Polestar's previously announced $300 million private placement (PIPE) transaction, which was initially disclosed in a 6-K filing on March 16, 2026. The successful completion of this substantial capital raise provides critical funding for the company. Concurrently, PSD Investment Limited, a Geely-affiliated entity, has formally entered into new put option arrangements, similar to those detailed in a Schedule 13D/A filed on March 18, 2026. While the capital injection is positive for the company's liquidity and operational runway, the PIPE transaction results in significant dilution for existing shareholders. The updated beneficial ownership percentages reflect the increased share count following the PIPE closing, solidifying the control of major shareholders like Eric Li (representing Geely) and Volvo Car Corporation.
