Lilium N.V. (NASDAQ: LILM) (“Lilium” or the “Company”), developer
of the first all-electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”)
jet and global pioneer in Regional Air Mobility (RAM), announced
today that it has launched an underwritten public offering of the
Company’s Class A ordinary shares (the “Shares”) and warrants to
purchase Shares (the “Warrants” and, together with the Shares, the
“Securities”), as well as a concurrent private placement offering
of Shares and warrants to purchase Shares (“PIPE Warrants”)
including to BIT Capital, Earlybird Venture Capital and Aceville
Pte. Limited, an affiliate of Tencent Holdings Limited
(“Aceville”), as well as certain Lilium board members (the “PIPE”).
Additionally, the Company will issue to Aceville (i) a pro
rata warrant to purchase Shares (the “Aceville Pre-Funded Warrant”)
and Aceville has agreed to partially prepay a portion of the total
exercise price of the Aceville Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Aceville
Pre-Funding”) and (ii) an accompanying PIPE Warrant to purchase
Shares, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions and
the receipt of shareholder approval for an increase in the
Company’s authorized share capital.
In connection with the underwritten public
offering, the Company expects to grant to the underwriter an option
to purchase up to 15% additional Shares and accompanying Warrants
sold in the underwritten public offering during the 30 days after
the offering prices, solely to cover over-allotments. B. Riley
Securities is serving as the sole bookrunner and underwriter for
the underwritten public offering. The underwritten public offering
is subject to market, regulatory and other conditions and there can
be no assurance as to whether or when the offering may be
completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering.
The Securities being offered pursuant to the
underwritten public offering are being offered pursuant to a shelf
registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-267719) previously
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
which the SEC declared effective on October 12, 2022. A preliminary
prospectus supplement related to the underwritten public offering
will be filed with the SEC, will form a part of the effective
registration statement, and will be available on the SEC’s website
located at http://www.sec.gov or may be obtained from B. Riley
Securities, Attention: Prospectus Department, 1300 North 17th
Street, Suite 1300, Arlington, Virginia 22209; Telephone: (703)
312-9580, or by emailing prospectuses@brileyfin.com.
In connection with the concurrent PIPE, a number
of investors, including BIT Capital, Earlybird Venture Capital and
Aceville, as well as certain Lilium board members, agreed to
purchase Shares for $1.05 per Share and accompanying warrant. Each
PIPE Warrant will be exercisable for one Share at an exercise price
of $1.50 per Share following the receipt of shareholder approval
for an increase in the Company’s authorized share capital. The PIPE
Warrants will expire six years from the date of issuance. The
securities purchase agreements contain customary registration
rights.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from
the underwritten public offering, the PIPE and the Aceville
Pre-Funding to continue to fund the development and operations of
the Company and for general corporate purposes.
Neither the underwritten public offering nor the
PIPE is conditional on the other. The securities sold in the PIPE
are being issued pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and Regulation S, have not been registered under the
Securities Act or any state or other applicable jurisdiction’s
securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable
state or other jurisdiction's securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer
to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be
any sale of the Shares or warrants in any state or jurisdiction in
which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior
to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any
such state or jurisdiction.
