[2] | LG Magna e-Powertrain [“LGM”] is a variable interest entity [‘‘VIE’’] and depends on the Company and LG Electronics for any additional cash needs. The Company cannot make key operating decisions considered to be most significant to the VIE, and is therefore not considered to be the primary beneficiary. The Company’s known maximum exposure to loss approximated the carrying value of its investment balance as at December 31, 2022.
[3] | The Company accounts for its investments under the equity method of accounting as a result of significant participating rights that prevent control.
