Exhibit 99.1

ARRIVAL Receives Nasdaq Notification of Non-Compliance with Listing Rules 5250(c)(2) and 5620(a)

LUXEMBOURG – January 4, 2024 – Arrival (Nasdaq: ARVL) (“Arrival” or the “Company”) today announced that it received an additional staff determination notice (the “Additional Determination”) on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that (i) due to its delay in filing its interim financial statements on form 6-K for the period ended June 30, 2023 within six months of the end of the second quarter, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(2), and (ii) due to its failure to hold an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a).

The Company previously reported that it received a staff determination notice on October 31, 2023 (the “October Determination”) indicating that, as a result of the Company’s failure to file its 2022 Annual Report with the SEC, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which, absent an appeal, would have resulted in the suspension of trading and the removal of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. The Company timely appealed the October Determination, and is currently scheduled for a hearing with Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel on February 8, 2024. The Additional Determination states that the above non-compliance events serve as additional bases for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, and will be taken into consideration by Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel in rendering its determination regarding the Company’s continued listing.

The Additional Determination does not result in the immediate suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s securities.

This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.
