Exhibit 10.8

REE Automotive Ltd.

Compensation Policy

As approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 16, 2021

and by the Company’s Shareholders at a General Meeting on , 2021

Each capitalized term in this Compensation Policy shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), unless otherwise defined in this Compensation Policy.

| 1. | General

The Companies Law sets forth provisions regarding the structure of compensation to office holders (as such term is defined in the Companies Law; in this Compensation Policy, “Office Holders”) in publicly held companies, establishes a process for the approval of such compensation and prescribes an obligation to adopt a compensation policy. Accordingly, this Compensation Policy (the “Compensation Policy” or the “Policy”) of REE Automotive Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”), was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) and by the shareholders of the Company. Unless this Policy refers explicitly to directors or the context makes clear that a section refers to or include directors, the term “Office Holders” in this Policy refers to Office Holders who are not solely directors and to the Chairperson of the Board, rather than to directors other than the Chairperson.

The Board shall review and reassess the adequacy of this Policy from time to time, as required by the Companies Law.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Policy and any mandatory provisions of applicable law, and in addition to the Board of Directors’ powers provided elsewhere in this Policy and by the Companies Law, the Board of Directors, or the Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee” or the “Committee”), subject to the provisions of the Companies Law and unless the Board determines otherwise, shall have full authority in its discretion, from time to time, to (i) interpret this policy; (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to and for carrying out this policy, as it may deem appropriate; and (iii) any other matter which it determines to be necessary or desirable for, or incidental to, the administration of this Policy and any determination made pursuant to this Policy.

Considerations in Adopting the Policy – The considerations that guided the Board of Directors in adopting the Policy are:

| ● | advancement of the Company’s objectives and its financial goals, from the perspective of the current relevant year and also with a long-term view;

| ● | creating appropriate incentives for Office Holders in the Company taking into account, inter alia, specific divisions or regions of the Company and the Company’s risk management practices;

| ● | creating alignment between the Office Holders’ interests and the interests of the Company’s shareholders;

| ● | the Company’s size and the nature of its activities and markets;

| ● | the Company’s competitive environment. The compensation of an Office Holder will be determined after giving consideration to the terms offered to comparable Office Holders in comparable companies, to the extent such information is readily available, in order to offer competitive terms and attract and retain competent and capable Office Holders. The applicable benchmark will be determined such that the compensation of Office Holders serving in roles having responsibility over global operations will generally be compared to global roles, and Office Holders serving in particular localities will generally be compared to roles in such localities. In addition, in order to attract or retain unique talents that are considered by the Company as such, the compensation may exceed the aforementioned levels;

| ● | the Office Holders’ contributions to achieving the Company’s goals, to maximizing its profits and to maximizing the Company’s value, all with a long-term view and according to the various Office Holders’ positions; and

| ● | recruitment and retention of high-quality personnel.

The Compensation Policy was drafted taking into account the character of the Company as a company engaged in the field of electric mobility that aims to reinvent the EV and next-generation e-mobility market, taking into account the scope of the Company’s current and prospective activities and markets, and geographic regions and its being a company listed for trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”).

Main Principles of the Policy – The principles of the Compensation Policy were formulated after internal deliberations that took place within the Board in consultation with external advisors. The principles of this Policy are intended to ensure that the Office Holder’s compensation will be consistent with the Company’s targets and its total organizational strategy while taking into account the Company’s risk management policy. Furthermore, the Policy seeks to increase the alignment of Office Holders’ interests with the Company’s interests and to incentivize the Office Holders in order to retain high-quality Office Holders over time.

The components of Office Holders’ compensation may be as follows:

| A. | Fixed components: Salary,1 and may include a signing bonus, retention bonus, or a relocation bonus as well as severance payments (retirement payment, non-competition payment or any other benefit that is given to an Office Holder with respect to the cessation of his or her service or employment with the Company).

| B. | Variable Components: Different types of bonuses including an annual bonus, a special bonus, etc.

| C. | Variable equity components: Stock options, shares, restricted shares, restricted share units (“RSUs”), and the like, which are issued in the framework of equity-based reward plans that have been adopted or will be adopted in the future by the Company.

| D. | Insurance, exculpation and indemnification: Directors and officers liability insurance (both during the ordinary course of business as well as with respect to one-time runoff events), release from liability for Office Holders, in advance or retroactively, and grant of an undertaking to indemnify the officer in advance and retroactively.

The provisions of this Compensation Policy apply only to the Company’s Office Holders, as defined in the Companies Law.

This Policy does not grant rights to the Company’s Office Holders to receive any type of compensation specified in the Policy. The types and components of compensation to which an Office Holder will be entitled will be solely those approved specifically regarding each Office Holder by the Committee, Board and/or shareholders, according to applicable law.

| 2. | Principles for Determining Compensation

In setting the compensation of an Office Holder, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors shall consider the following factors, among others, to the extent relevant to the Office Holder:

| 2.1 | the education, qualifications, expertise, professional experience, and achievements of the Office Holder;

| 2.2 | the Office Holder’s position, his or her fields of responsibility, and his or her expected contributions to achieving the Company’s goals, as well as any additional duties and positions with the Company and its subsidiaries which go beyond the Office Holder’s position specified in his or her service or employment agreement;

| 2.3 | the Office Holder’s existing and prior compensation arrangements with the Company or its affiliates, or prior employers, to the extent not prohibited by law and best practices;

| 2.5 | to the extent necessary, and in the Compensation Committee’s discretion, a comparison shall be made to the compensation for comparably situated executives in the relevant market, geographical location and region of activity, and the employment or compensation practices in the industry and/or the relevant geographical location, region of activity or jurisdiction;

| 2.6 | the Office Holder’s past performance and expected contribution to the Company’s future growth and profitability;

| 2.7 | the ratio between the compensation of the Office Holder and that of other employees of the Company; and

| 9. | Claw-Back of Annual or Special Bonuses and Equity Awards

To reflect sound corporate governance, the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may determine that an Office Holder’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to annual or special bonuses and equity awards granted to such Office Holder shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, rescission or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting, restrictions or other performance conditions of the equity award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, termination with or without cause, or breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Office Holder.

In addition, in the event that

| (i) | less than two years have passed from the date of payment of such compensation to an Office Holder, and

| (ii) | the Company’s audited financial statements are restated or otherwise revised for any year, in such manner that the amount of the compensation paid, granted, vested, settled or accrued to such Office Holder with respect to such year would have been in a lower amount had it been calculated according to the restated or otherwise revised data, the‎ Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may (and, to the extent required by law, shall) require the Office Holder to reimburse the Company for the difference between the amount of the compensation received and that to which the Office Holder would have been entitled as a result of such restatement or other revision.

The manner of payment or reimbursement of such sums, as applicable, shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors.

Nothing in this Section ‎9 derogates from any other “recoupment,” “claw-back” or similar provisions regarding disgorging of profits imposed on Office Holders by virtue of applicable law.
