Exhibit 99.1

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard.

LUXEMBOURG – November 3, 2023 – Arrival (Nasdaq: ARVL) (“Arrival” or the “Company”) today announced that it received a determination notice (the “Determination”) on Tuesday, October 31, 2023, from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that, as a result of the Company’s failure to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, (the “2022 Annual Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) by October 30, 2023, the Staff has determined that, unless the Company requests an appeal of the Determination (as described below), Nasdaq will suspend trading of the Company’s ordinary shares at the opening of business on November 9, 2023, and will file a Form 25-NSE with the SEC, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. The Determination does not result in the immediate suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s securities, and the Nasdaq Listing Rules provide a procedure for the Company to appeal the Determination and seek a stay pending the appeal (as described below).

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series, the Company may appeal the Determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities for 15 days from the date of the request. When the Company requests a hearing, it may also request an extended stay of the suspension, pending the hearing. The Company’s requests for a hearing and for an extended stay must be received by November 7, 2023. According to the Determination, hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request, and the Panel will review the request for an extended stay and notify the Company of its conclusion as soon as is practicable but in any event no later than 15 calendar days following the deadline to request the hearing. The Company intends to timely submit its requests for a hearing before the Panel, and for an extended stay of the suspension of the Company’s securities until the Panel has rendered a decision on the appeal.

As previously disclosed, on May 2, 2023, Arrival received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that, as a result of the Company’s failure to file its 2022 Annual Report with the SEC, the Company no longer was in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Subsequently, Nasdaq granted the Company an extension until October 30, 2023 to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) by filing the 2022 Annual Report with the SEC.

The Company is working diligently to file the 2022 Annual Report as soon as practicable.
