The company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary MSSL Consolidated Inc, plans to subscribe to up to 3,639,010 Class A ordinary shares of REE Automotive.

According to the regulatory filing, the shares will be priced at $4.122 each, which will translate to an 11 per cent ownership in REE Automotive Ltd on a fully-diluted basis.

It has developed a technology known as "REEcorner," which integrates essential vehicle systems—such as steering, brakes, suspension, and powertrain control—into a single compact module. This technology is protected by a portfolio of 175 patents, both registered and pending globally.

As part of the deal, Samvardhana Motherson International will also enter into a supply chain management agreement with REE Automotive to expedite industrialisation within a mutually beneficial commercial framework. Additionally, the companies will collaborate on manufacturing components and integrating the "REEcorner" module and platform assembly to support full vehicle assembly, including 'P7 electric' trucks in the US. The transaction is expected to be completed within 30 days, contingent upon the satisfactory completion of all conditions precedent.
