CONTENTS

Explanatory Note

On May 13, 2024, Lilium N.V. (“Lilium”) published a press release announcing that it is in advanced discussions with the French government on plans to expand its high-volume production capacity with an industrial footprint in France and on potential government subsidies and loan guarantees. This follows a French government announcement of the talks at the Choose France Summit in Paris on May 13, 2024. If this project moves forward Lilium estimates that it could result in total future investment by Lilium of up to €400 million into France over several years, and has the potential to create up to 850 new direct jobs in France.

These discussions are ongoing and the outcome of any such discussions (including the size of Lilium’s ultimate investment) will depend on a number of variables, many of which are outside of Lilium’s control. There can be no assurances that Lilium’s discussions with the French government will continue successfully or result in any government subsidies and/or loan guarantees or result in any expansion of Lilium’s industrial footprint, and related investment, into France.

The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K.
