Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 12, 2017, GoPro, Inc. (the Company) completed its previously announced sale of $175 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the Notes), in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), to the initial purchasers for initial resale to
qualified institutional buyers pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act.
The Notes were
issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 12, 2017 (the Indenture), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (Wells Fargo). The Notes are senior, unsecured, obligations of

repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to the maturity date and no
sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
The Indenture includes customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the Notes
may be due and payable immediately. The following events are considered events of default, which may result in acceleration of the maturity of the Notes:
|
1.
|
failure by the Company to pay the interest on any Note when the Note becomes due and payable and the failure continues for a period of 30 days;
|

The Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Companys Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (Common Stock), or a
combination thereof, at the Companys election, at an initial conversion rate of 94.0071 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.64 per share of
Common Stock, subject to adjustment.
Holders of the Notes who convert their Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the
Indenture) are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate.
Additionally, in the event of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes at a price equal to
100% of the principal amount of Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, including any additional interest, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
Holders of the Notes may convert all or a portion of their Notes at their option prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day immediately
preceding January 15, 2022, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances:
|
|
|
during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2017 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive)
during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price of the Notes on each such trading day;
|
|
|
|
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each day of that five day consecutive trading day period was less
