Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 11, 2022, Lordstown Motors Corp.
(the “Company”) closed the transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement
with Foxconn EV Technology, Inc., an Ohio corporation and an affiliate of Hon Hai Technology Group (“HHTG”; either
HHTG or applicable affiliates of HHTG are referred to herein as “Foxconn”), dated November 10,
2021 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement” or “APA” and the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby,
the “APA Closing”).
Pursuant to the Asset
Purchase Agreement, Foxconn purchased the Company’s manufacturing facility located in Lordstown, Ohio for $230 million and
a reimbursement payment for certain operating and expansion costs incurred by the Company from September 1, 2021 until closing. Foxconn
had made down payments of the purchase price totaling $200 million through April 15, 2022, and the $30 million balance of the
purchase price and a reimbursement payment of approximately $27.5 million became due at closing. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the reimbursement costs were an estimate and will be finalized over a review period after closing. Pro forma for the closing
of the APA, the Company would have had cash and cash equivalents in excess of $300 million at March 31, 2022.
The Company continues to own its hub motor
assembly line, as well as its battery module and pack line assets, certain intellectual property rights and other excluded assets. The
Company has outsourced all of the manufacturing of the Endurance to Foxconn in connection with the sale of the Lordstown facility and
Foxconn will also operate the assets the Company continues to own in the facility under the Contract Manufacturing Agreement (defined
below) entered into by the parties as a condition to closing and described below. Foxconn will employ approximately 400 former Company
employees in connection with the Contract Manufacturing Agreement activities. Approximately 250 employees, primarily in engineering, testing
and validation, along with corporate staff, will remain with the Company.
The Company and Foxconn also entered into
a lease pursuant to which the Company will lease space located at the Lordstown, Ohio facility from Foxconn for its Ohio-based employees
for a term equal to the duration of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement plus 30 days.
As provided by the Asset Purchase Agreement,
at closing, the Company issued warrants to Foxconn that are exercisable until May 11, 2025 for 1.7 million shares of the Company’s
Class A common stock at an exercise price of $10.50 per share. As previously disclosed, prior to and in expectation of entering into
the Asset Purchase Agreement, Foxconn purchased 7.2 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $50.0 million in October 2021.
Contract Manufacturing Agreement
On May 11, 2022, Lordstown EV Corporation,
a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Lordstown EV”), and Foxconn entered into a Manufacturing
Supply Agreement (the “Contract Manufacturing Agreement”), in connection with the APA Closing. The Company will continue to
own certain assets in the Lordstown facility, principally the hub motor and battery module and pack lines and tooling specific to the
Endurance. However, Foxconn will operate and generally be responsible for the equipment under its control.
Pursuant to the Contract Manufacturing Agreement,
Foxconn will (i) manufacture the Endurance at the Lordstown facility, (ii) following a transition period, procure components
for the manufacture and assembly of the Endurance, subject to sourcing specifications provided by Lordstown EV, and (iii) provide
certain post-delivery services.
Foxconn will use commercially reasonable
efforts to assist with reducing component and logistics costs, and otherwise improving the commercial terms of procurement with
suppliers, and the parties will work together to reduce the overall bill of materials cost of the Endurance. Foxconn will conduct
testing in accordance with test procedures established by Lordstown EV and Lordstown EV is responsible for all motor vehicle law
compliance and reporting. The Contract Manufacturing Agreement also allocates responsibility between the parties for other matters,
including component defects, quality assurance and warranties of manufacturing and design. Foxconn will invoice Lordstown EV for a
per vehicle fee, as well as component and other costs owed under the agreement. Production volume and scheduling are based upon
rolling weekly forecasts provided by Lordstown EV that are generally binding only for a twelve-week period, with some ability to
vary the quantities of vehicle type. The term of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement will begin on May 11, 2022 and continue
for an initial term of 18 months plus a 12 month notice period in the event either party seeks to terminate the agreement. In the
event neither party terminates the agreement following the initial term, it will continue on a month-to-month basis unless
terminated upon 12 months’ prior notice. The Contract Manufacturing Agreement can also be terminated by either party due to a
material breach of the agreement and will terminate immediately upon the occurrence of any bankruptcy event.
The foregoing description of the Contract
Manufacturing Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Contract Manufacturing Agreement, a copy of
which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Joint Venture Agreement
In connection with the APA Closing, on
May 11, 2022, Lordstown and Foxconn entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Joint Venture
Agreement”) and filed a Certificate of Formation to form MIH EV Design LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“LLC”), as a joint venture to design, develop, test and industrialize all-electric commercial vehicles (“EC
Vehicles”). Foxconn has committed $100 million to the LLC, consisting of $55 million of direct capital contributions and a $45
million loan to Lordstown EV pursuant to the Notes (as defined below), the proceeds of which will be used to fund Lordstown
EV’s capital contributions to the LLC. Initially, Foxconn will have an ownership interest in the LLC of 55% and Lordstown EV
will have a 45% interest. The Joint Venture Agreement provides for the grant of a license to the LLC to use certain intellectual
property relating to certain Foxconn MIH-based vehicle designs (the “FX IP”) to develop EC Vehicles, with the LLC owning
all intellectual property rights it develops (other than the FX IP). In addition, the LLC will grant an exclusive license of all
intellectual property owned by the LLC relating to any EC Vehicle designed by the LLC to Lordstown EV, for use in the North American
commercial market, and to Foxconn, for use outside of North America, each subject to customary and reasonable licensing fees.
The LLC will be overseen by a five-person
management board with Foxconn initially having the right to appoint three members and Lordstown EV initially having the right to appoint
two members. Certain major decisions, including, but not limited to, the approval of budgets, raising additional equity, incurring third
party indebtedness, mergers, related party transactions, dissolution and increases in the size of the management board, will require the
consent of at least one member of the management board appointed by Lordstown EV for so long as Lordstown EV owns at least a 30% ownership
percentage in the LLC. Other than with respect to certain customary permitted transfers, neither Lordstown EV nor Foxconn is permitted
to transfer its interest in the LLC for a period of three years following the formation of the LLC and, thereafter, each party has a right
of first refusal and a tag-along right with respect any proposed transfer by the other party.
The foregoing description of the Joint Venture
Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Joint Venture Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit 10.2, and which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
Note, Guaranty and Security Agreements
The Joint Venture Agreement provides that
Lordstown EV, as the issuer, Lordstown EV Sales LLC and the Company, as guarantors (collectively, the “Note Parties”), will
enter into note, guaranty and security agreements (the “Notes”) with Foxconn, as the payee, pursuant to which Foxconn will
make term loans to Lordstown EV in an aggregate original amount not to exceed $45 million. To secure its obligations under each Note,
Lordstown EV will grant to Foxconn a security interest in (i) all of Lordstown EV’s equity interests in the LLC, and (ii) personal
property constituting the hub motor assembly lines, battery module assembly lines and battery pack assembly lines. Lordstown EV may use
the funds only to fund Lordstown EV’s capital commitment of $45 million pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement.
Each outstanding Note will accrue interest
at a rate of 7.0% per annum, to be paid-in-kind, and is due on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of issuance and (ii) December 31,
2025, unless earlier terminated in the event of a default. Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, each Note maturing before December 31,
2025 will be refinanced by Foxconn with a new Note in the principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the refinanced
Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and will have terms otherwise substantively identical to the terms of the refinanced Note.
As a result, it is not expected, absent a default, that any amounts will become due under the Notes prior to December 31, 2025. Events
of default include, among other things, the breach of certain covenants or representations, defaults under other loans or obligations,
involvement in bankruptcy proceedings, an occurrence of a change of control or the loss of any material collateral (as such terms are
defined in the Notes). Each Note will contain negative covenants which, while in effect, restrict the Note Parties from, among other things,
incurring certain types of other debt (subject to various baskets), making certain expenditures or investments, any mergers or other fundamental
changes, or changing the character of the Note Parties’ businesses.
Each Note and all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, without any penalty or premium. Lordstown EV will be required
to prepay each Note and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon with proceeds received upon distributions from the LLC or cash proceeds
of certain asset dispositions.
The foregoing description of the Notes is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
