Polestar has entered into a credit agreement for a subordinated term loan facility of up to $600 million. The financing arrangement involves a wholly owned subsidiary of Geely Sweden Holdings AB serving as lender.
Highlights
- Polestar secures up to $600 million in subordinated term loan financing from a Geely Sweden Holdings AB subsidiary
- Initial $300 million available immediately; remaining $300 million requires lender consent based on future liquidity needs
- Funds designated for general corporate purposes as the Swedish EV maker continues operations across 28 global markets

Financing Terms and Structure
The term loan facility provides Polestar with access to capital for general corporate purposes. The agreement stipulates that while the initial $300 million is available, the remaining $300 million would require lender consent based on Polestar’s future liquidity needs.
The subordinated nature of the loan positions it below senior debt in the company’s capital structure.
