Exhibit 99.1

Lucid Adds New Leaders Across Commercial, Finance, and Marketing

New hires to strengthen execution, financial discipline, and customer focus

NEWARK, Calif., – August 28, 2026 – Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID), maker of the world’s most advanced software-defined vehicles and technologies, today announced three leadership appointments designed to strengthen commercial execution, financial discipline, and customer engagement. Shawn Mirabal has joined as President of North America Commercial, Mike Molino as Vice President of Finance, and Angela Zepeda as Vice President, Global Marketing.

“We continue to strengthen our leadership team with executives who bring deep experience and a proven track record of execution,” said Silvio Napoli, CEO at Lucid. “Shawn, Mike, and Angela are proven leaders who will each directly support our three business fundamentals: cash and cost, customer and quality, and culture and team. Their leadership will help us deliver more consistent results for our customers, shareholders, and employees.”

Mirabal brings more than 27 years of manufacturing and retail automotive experience to Lucid, having previously held national and regional leadership roles at Nissan North America, FCA/Stellantis, American Honda, Berkshire Hathaway Automotive Group, and most recently was the COO of #1 Cochran Automotive Group. His experience leading organizational transformations and aligning manufacturing priorities with frontline retail execution will support Lucid’s focus on improving commercial execution and the customer experience across North America.

Molino brings more than two decades of finance leadership experience across the automotive industry and most recently served as CFO and COO, Head of Finance and Operations at Mercedes-Benz Research and Development North America. As Lucid continues to focus on execution, efficiency, and value creation, he will work closely with leaders across the company to strengthen financial discipline, improve transparency and accountability, and better connect operational execution with financial performance.

Zepeda joins Lucid with more than 25 years of experience leading global brands through transformation, most recently serving as Global Head of Marketing at xAI after five years as CMO at Hyundai Motor America. Her experience refining operating models, strengthening cross-functional alignment, and integrating marketing with product, sales, and communications to better align the end-to-end customer journey will support Lucid’s efforts to strengthen customer engagement, brand awareness, and commercial momentum.

In their new roles, Mirabal and Zepeda will report to Billy Hayes, Chief Customer Officer, and Molino will report to Alexander De Bock, CFO. These appointments reflect Lucid’s continued focus on building the leadership capabilities needed to improve execution, strengthen accountability, and better service customers as the company advances its next phase.
