On July 1, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Alexander De Bock as its incoming Chief Financial Officer. Mr. De Bock is expected to join the Company in the coming weeks (the date he commences his employment with the Company, the “Start Date”) and will report to Silvio Napoli, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Taoufiq Boussaid, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer will leave the Company after a transition period following the Company’s Q2 2026 earnings. Mr. Boussaid's departure is not related to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices (financial or otherwise), or any issues regarding financial disclosures, accounting or legal matters.
Mr. De Bock, age 49, has served as the Chief Financial Officer of Metalsa, a leading manufacturer of automotive components specializing in chassis structures for light and commercial vehicles, since June 2026. Previously, he served as the Chief Financial Officer of TI Automotive, a leading global automotive Tier 1 supplier of safety and performance critical products, from April 2025 to February 2026. Prior to the formation of TI Automotive following ABC Technologies' acquisition of TI Fluid Systems, he served as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director of TI Fluid Systems, from April 2023 to April 2025 (formerly LON: TIFS). From June 2020 to March 2023, Mr. De Bock served as Chief Financial Officer of the Commercial Vehicle Division of ZF Group, a market leader in safety, efficiency and connectivity solutions for medium and heavy-duty vehicles, and as a member of the board of directors of ZF Commercial Vehicle Control System India Ltd. Prior to ZF Friedrichshafen AG's acquisition of WABCO Holdings Inc., a supplier of commercial vehicle technologies and systems, in May 2020, Mr. De Bock held various finance leadership positions at WABCO Holdings Inc. from July 2007 to May 2020, including Corporate Treasurer and Vice President, Financial Planning & Analysis from June 2018 to May 2020 and Interim Chief Financial Officer from September 2017 to June 2018 (formerly NYSE: WBC). Earlier in his career, Mr. De Bock held internal audit positions with American Standard and Audit & Assurance roles with Arthur Andersen & Co. Mr. De Bock holds an M.A. in Applied Economics from the University of Antwerp, Belgium.
In connection with his appointment, Mr. De Bock will receive the following compensation, among other things: (i) an annual base salary of $750,000; (ii) a target incentive bonus opportunity of 150% of his base salary, provided that, for calendar year 2026, such bonus shall be paid out based on the greater of (x) 150% of base salary and (y) actual achievement, in each case, prorated based on the Start Date; (iii) a cash signing bonus in the amount of $1,100,000 to be paid within thirty days of the Start Date; (iv) a cash signing bonus in the amount of $600,000 to be paid in January 2027, subject to his continued employment with the Company; (v) initial equity grants described below; (vi) performance cash bonus described below; (vii) eligibility to participate in the Lucid Group, Inc. Executive Severance Benefit Plan (the “Severance Plan”), and in addition to any severance benefits available under such plan and to the extent not duplicative, if he is terminated without Cause or experiences a Constructive Termination (each as defined in the Severance Plan), subject to satisfaction of the applicable release requirements, he is eligible to receive (x) 75% of his annual target bonus and (y) immediate vesting of one-third of his then-unvested stock awards, with any unvested and unearned performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) deemed service-vested and payable based on actual achievement of the applicable performance conditions; (viii) reimbursement of up to $15,000 per month for six months for temporary housing expenses, grossed up for taxes; (ix) reimbursement for certain number of flights between the Bay Area and the Detroit metropolitan area between the Start Date and February 1, 2027; and (x) provision of a Company vehicle, tax and financial planning, and relocation support.
Mr. De Bock will receive initial equity grants with an aggregate target grant value of $7,500,000, allocated as (i) $2,500,000 in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest over four years, with 25% vesting on a one-year cliff and the remainder vesting quarterly in 12 installments thereafter, and (ii) $5,000,000 in the form of PSUs subject to the terms of the Company’s 2026 PSU program to be established and approved by the Board. Mr. De Bock will be eligible to receive future annual long-term incentive awards, beginning in 2027, with a target grant value of $2,000,000, subject to adjustment in the Board’s discretion.
Mr. De Bock is also eligible to receive a performance-based cash bonus (“Performance Cash Bonus”), segmented into five equal tranches of $500,000, with a maximum payout opportunity of $2,500,000 if maximum performance is achieved between the Start Date and the fourth anniversary of the Start Date (“Performance Period”) and both time-based and performance-based vesting conditions applicable to such tranche are met. The performance-based vesting condition for each tranche will be satisfied based on achievement of a Market Capitalization Performance Hurdle of $5.0 billion, $7.5 billion, $10.0 billion, $12.5 billion and $17.5 billion, for tranche 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
The “Market Capitalization Performance Hurdle” involves achievement of the volume-weighted average of the Company’s market capitalization for 60 consecutive trading days, as defined in, and as calculated in accordance with Mr. De Bock’s offer letter with the Company.
A given tranche vests upon the later of (x) the tranche’s time-based vesting date (which is the second anniversary of the Start Date for tranche 1, third anniversary of the Start Date for tranches 2 and 3 and fourth anniversary of the Start Date for tranches 4 and 5) and (y) certification of achievement of the Market Capitalization Performance Hurdle, in each case, subject to Mr. De Bock’s continued employment with the Company.
