[Date]

Dear Romeo Power Supplier,

As a valued supplier of Romeo Power, I am pleased to share with you that Romeo Power has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Nikola.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including action by Romeo Power’s shareholders and receipt of regulatory approvals. We expect this process to take approximately three months, but it could take longer and there is no certainty that the transaction will close.

I want to assure you that we are operating our business as usual, and there are no immediate changes in how we do business with you. As we move through this process, we will keep you apprised and updated to the extent possible and as allowed by stringent regulatory guidelines.

We thank you for your continued partnership with Romeo Power.

Best Regards,
