Item 1.01. Entry Into or Amendment of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Issuance of Additional Convertible Notes

On December 23, 2021, Luminar Technologies, Inc. (“Luminar”) issued an additional $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.25% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “notes”) pursuant to the partial exercise by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional notes granted in Luminar’s original offering of the notes. Luminar estimates that the net proceeds from the issuance of the additional notes will be approximately $24.4 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount, for aggregate net proceeds from the offering of approximately $608.4 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses payable by Luminar. The newly issued notes have the same terms as the original $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes issued by Luminar on December 17, 2021, and are governed by the same Indenture as described in Luminar’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 17, 2021. A copy of the Indenture and the form of the notes were attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to such Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Additional Capped Call Transactions

On December 21, 2021, in connection with the partial exercise by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional notes described above, Luminar entered into additional privately negotiated capped call transactions, each on the same terms and with the same option counterparties as the capped call transactions previously entered into by Luminar in connection with the original offering of the notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions was initially $30.1600 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of Luminar’s Class A common stock on December 14, 2021, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. Luminar used approximately $2.9 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the additional notes to pay the cost of the capped call transactions. The form of confirmation for the capped call transactions was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to Luminar’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 17, 2021, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The capped call transactions are separate transactions entered into by Luminar with the option counterparties, are not part of the terms of the notes and will not change any holder’s rights under the notes. Holders of the notes will not have any rights with respect to the capped call transactions.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 above with respect to the Indenture and the issuance of the additional notes by Luminar is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The additional notes were issued to the initial purchasers in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in transactions not involving any public offering. The notes were resold by the initial purchasers to persons whom the initial purchasers reasonably believe are “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in, and in accordance with, Rule 144A under the Act. Initially, a maximum of 1,657,823 shares of Luminar’s Class A common stock may be issued upon conversion of the additional notes (including additional shares issuable under the make-whole provision), based on the initial maximum conversion rate of 66.3129 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is subject to customary adjustments.
