Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
Funds that are not mutual funds do not have ticker symbols because they are exempt from SEC registration.
*Review the enclosed Qualified Default Investment Alternative notice to see which BlackRock LifePath Index fund applies to you.
**The Dreyfus Government Cash Management Fund Institutional Shares fund (DGCXX) will be set up as a temporary holding account for the initial transfer
of assets as described above. It will not be an investment option available for participant direction after the transition is complete. Once reconciliation is
complete, all participant accounts and future contribution investment allocations in these funds will be invested in the age-appropriate BlackRock LifePath
Index fund, unless you have made another investment election. Any interest accumulated in the Dreyfus Government Cash Management fund during the
holding period will be allocated to the Putnam Stable Value Fund and requires your direction to be allocated to another fund of your choice.

Important notice concerning your rights in the
Rivian Automotive LLC 401(k) Plan
June 26, 2021

This notice is to inform you that your account in the Rivian Automotive LLC 401(k) Plan will transfer to Empower Retirement
effective August 2, 2021.

As a result of this change, you temporarily will be unable to check your account balance and transfer or diversify your
investments (including investments held within a self-directed brokerage account) in your Rivian Automotive LLC 401(k) Plan
account or obtain a loan, withdrawal or distribution. During this time, you will have limited or no access to your account. This
period during which you will be unable to exercise these rights otherwise available under the plan is called a blackout period.
Whether or not you are planning retirement in the near future, we encourage you to carefully consider how this blackout
period may affect your retirement planning as well as your overall financial plan. The temporary blackout period begins at 1
p.m. Pacific time (3 p.m. Central time | 4 p.m. Eastern time) on July 26, 2021, and ends during the week of August 15, 2021.
During the blackout period, your investments will continue to gain and/or lose value depending on market conditions.

Before the blackout period begins, it is very important that you review and consider the appropriateness of your current
investments because you will be unable to transfer or diversify those investments during the blackout period. For your
long-term retirement security, you should give careful consideration to the importance of a well-balanced and diversified
investment portfolio, taking into account all your assets, income and investments.

You should be aware that there is a risk to holding substantial portions of your assets in the securities of any one company
as individual securities tend to have wider price swings, both up and down, in short periods of time, than investments in
diversified funds. Stocks that have wide price swings might have a large loss during the blackout period, and you would not
be able to direct the sale of such stocks from your account during the blackout period.

To review your plan account before the blackout period begins, contact Vanguard at 866-794-2145 or access your account
online at myvanguardplan.com by July 26, 2021. If you have questions concerning this notice, please contact Empower
at 844-465-4455.

Once the blackout period ends, you will have full access to your plan account. If you would like to confirm the status of the
blackout period, contact Empower at 844-465-4455 or myrivian401k.com.

These dates and times are subject to change. Please contact Empower for more information.
Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss.
Carefully consider the investment option’s objectives, risks, fees and expenses. Contact Empower Retirement for a
prospectus, summary prospectus for SEC-registered products or disclosure document for unregistered products, if
available, containing this information. Read each carefully before investing.
You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your
investment at $1 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal
obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect the sponsor to provide financial
support to the fund at any time.

Fund changes may alter the risk exposure of an investment account. Some cash-alternative options (other than money market funds), such
as guaranteed interest funds or stable value funds, may have withdrawal and transfer restrictions. Carefully consider the importance of
a well-balanced and diversified investment portfolio, taking into account all your assets, income and investments. Adjustments may be
needed to realign the account with its desired investment strategy. Once the transition is complete, please review the information for each
fund on the plan website.
