On August 11, 2021, Fisker Inc. (“Fisker”) issued a press release (the “Launch Press Release”), announcing its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “notes”) in a private offering (the “offering”) only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).
On August 12, 2021, Fisker issued a press release (the “Pricing Press Release”), announcing the pricing of $625,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes in a private offering only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule144A under the Act, representing an increase of $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount from the previously announced proposed offering size. Fisker also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes.
In connection with the pricing of the notes, Fisker entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one of the initial purchasers of the notes and certain other financial institutions (together, the “option counterparties”).
Fisker intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, one or more new or existing “eligible green projects” of Fisker, including PEAR program development, battery pack assembly and potential localization, the furtherance of new model development and technology development. Pending such allocation of net proceeds to eligible green projects, Fisker intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of the capped call transactions described above and for working capital and general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Fisker intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.
