Pursuant to this prospectus supplement, we may offer and sell shares of our Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 from time to time through or to the sales agent. We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from offerings under the Equity Financing Program for general corporate purposes, including payment of interest on debt and other manner to repay, repurchase, or service such debt.
Our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “LAZR”. The last reported sale price of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on August 7, 2024 was $0.88 per share.

skilled personnel and dependence on Austin Russell, our Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer; the impact of inflation and our stock price on our ability to hire and retain highly skilled personnel; the amount and timing of future sales and whether the average selling prices of our products could decrease rapidly over the life of the product as well as our dependence on a few key customers, who are often large corporations with substantial negotiating power; our ability to establish and maintain confidence in our long-term business prospects among customers and analysts and within our industry; whether we are subject to negative publicity; the effects of COVID-19 or other infectious diseases, health epidemics, pandemics and natural disasters on Luminar’s business; interruption or failure of our information technology and communications systems; cybersecurity risks to our operational systems, security systems, infrastructure, integrated software in our LiDAR solutions; market instability exacerbated by geopolitical conflicts, including the Israel-Hamas war and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as trade disputes with China and including the effect of sanctions and trade restrictions that may affect supply chain or sales opportunities.

The Company
Luminar is a global automotive technology company ushering in a new era of vehicle safety and autonomy. Over the past decade, Luminar has been building our light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor from the chip-level up, which is expected to meet the demanding performance, safety, reliability and cost requirements to enable next-generation safety and autonomous capabilities for passenger and commercial vehicles, as well as other adjacent markets.
The global automotive and mobility sector is increasingly focused on safety and autonomy, specifically next-generation advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, and highway autonomy for passenger and commercial vehicles. Our LiDAR technology provides increased situational awareness in a broad range of driving environments through improved and higher confidence detection and planning at all vehicle speeds. Beyond sensor hardware, our product portfolio has expanded to include in-development perception and decision-making software, as well as high definition “3D” mapping that we anticipate will monetize the ecosystem of improved safety and autonomy created by our LiDAR.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the shares of Class A common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our Class A common stock, you should consider carefully the risk factors described below. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, before making an investment decision. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become important factors that affect us. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.” Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by the materialization of any of these risks. The trading price of our Class A common stock could decline due to the materialization of any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described below.
Additional Risks Related to This Offering
Our management will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may allocate the net proceeds from this offering in ways that you and other stockholders may not approve.
Our management will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering including for any of the purposes described in the section titled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure of our management to use these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders.
If you purchase shares of our Class A common stock sold in this offering, you may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares. In addition, we may issue additional equity or additional convertible debt securities in the future, which may result in additional dilution to investors.
The price per share of our Class A common stock being offered may be higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding Class A common stock prior to this offering. After giving effect to the sale of our Class A common stock in the aggregate amount of $50 million at an assumed offering price of $0.88 per share, the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on August 7, 2024, and after deducting estimated offering commissions payable by us, our net tangible book deficit as of March 31, 2024 would have been $(259.9) million, or $(0.52) per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.18 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.40 per share to new investors in this offering. For a more detailed discussion of the foregoing, see the section titled “Dilution.” To the extent outstanding stock options are exercised or convertible notes are converted, there will be further dilution to new investors. In addition, to the extent we need to raise additional capital in the future and we issue additional shares of Class A common stock or additional securities convertible or exchangeable for our Class A common stock, our then existing stockholders may experience dilution and the new securities may have rights senior to those of our Class A common stock offered in this offering.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock, or the possibility that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.
We may issue up to $50 million of Class A common stock from time to time in this offering. The issuance from time to time of shares in this offering, as well as our ability to issue such shares in this offering, could have the effect of depressing the market price or increasing the market price volatility of our Class A common stock.
It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares of Class A common stock we will sell under the Agreement, or the gross proceeds resulting from those sales.
Subject to certain limitations in the Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the sales agent at any time throughout the term of the Agreement. The number of shares of Class A common stock that are sold through or to the sales agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of the Class A common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with the sales agent in any applicable placement notice, and the demand for our Class A common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share of Class A common stock sold will fluctuate during the sales period, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that we will sell or the gross proceeds we will receive in connection with those sales.
The Class A common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings”, and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares of Class A common stock in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares of Class A common stock sold in this offering. In addition, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares of Class A common stock to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
The market price and trading volume of Class A common stock is volatile and could decline significantly.
The market price of our Class A common stock has been and is expected to continue to be volatile and has recently experienced declines. In addition, the trading volume of our Class A common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. We cannot assure you that the market price of Class A common stock will not fluctuate widely or decline significantly in the future in response to a number of factors, including, among others, the following:
•the realization of any of the risk factors presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and subsequent reports filed with the SEC;
•actual or anticipated differences in our estimates, or in the estimates of analysts, for our revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, results of operations, level of indebtedness, liquidity or financial condition;
•additions and departures of key personnel;
•failure to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq, Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other laws or regulations;
•future issuances, sales, resales or repurchases or anticipated issuances, sales, resales or repurchases, of our securities;
•publication of research reports about us;
•the performance and market valuations of other similar companies;
•commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving us;
•broad disruptions in the financial markets, including sudden disruptions in the credit markets;
•speculation in the press or investment community;
•actual, potential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems;
•changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines; and
•other events or factors, including those resulting from infectious diseases, health epidemics and pandemics (including COVID-19), natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events.
In the past, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their shares. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The amount of proceeds from this offering will depend upon the number of shares of our Class A common stock sold and the market price at which they are sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any or all shares under the Agreement. We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from offerings under this program for general corporate purposes, including payment of interest on debt and other manner to repay, repurchase, or service such debt.
The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the nature and timing of future strategic opportunities that we may identify and pursue, as well as the amount of our other cash resources and growth needs of our business. We therefore cannot estimate with certainty the amount of net proceeds to be used for the purposes described above or the timing of these expenditures. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. Pending the uses described above, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.
Our expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions.
DILUTION
If you invest in our Class A common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the price per share you pay in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock immediately after you purchase shares in this offering.
As of March 31, 2024, our net tangible book deficit was approximately $(309.2) million, or approximately $(0.55) per share of our Class A common stock (on an as converted basis). Net tangible book deficit per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2024.
Dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers for our Class A common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following the completion of this offering.
After giving effect to the sale of our common stock offered by this prospectus supplement at an assumed offering price of $0.88 per share of Class A common stock (the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on August 7, 2024), and after deduction of commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book deficit as of March 31, 2024 would have been $(259.9) million, or $(0.52) per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.18 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value of $1.40 per share to new investors in this offering.
The following table illustrates this per share dilution to new investors:
| | | | | | | | |
| Assumed public offering price per share | | $ | 0.88 | |
| Net tangible book deficit per share at March 31, 2024 | $ | (0.70) | | |
| Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering | 0.18 | | |
| As adjusted net tangible book deficit per share after giving effect to this offering | | (0.52) | |
Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering | | $ | 1.40 | |
The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering is based on 343,445,618 shares of our Class A common stock and 97,088,670 shares of our Class B common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024, and excludes as of that date:
•5,950,247 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $1.75 per share;
•1,668,269 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants with an exercise price of $11.50 per share;
•4,089,280 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of an outstanding warrant with an exercise price of $3.1769 per share;
•30,557,719 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding time-based restricted stock units, and 252,692 performance-based restricted stock units;
•11,800,000 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding executive performance-based restricted stock units;
•8,606,717 shares of Class A and Class B common stock issuable upon achievement of certain earn-out provisions;
•3,098,974 shares of Class A common stock issuable as a post combination compensation due to achievement of the service and performance conditions
•31,279,716 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of our $625.0 million aggregate principal amount of then outstanding convertible notes, at an assumed conversion price of $19.981; and
•70,477,941 shares of Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity compensation plans, consisting of:
•25,818,749 shares of Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under our Management Longer Term Equity Incentive Plan;
•38,216,942 shares of Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under our Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”); and
•6,442,250 shares of Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
The foregoing table does not give effect to the exercise of any outstanding options or warrants or the vesting of restricted stock units subsequent to March 31, 2024 or to the exchange of approximately $421.9 million in aggregate principal amount of our 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 for approximately $274.2 million in aggregate principal amount of newly issued Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2030 on August 8, 2024. To the extent options and warrants are exercised, there may be further dilution to new investors. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity or convertible debt securities or issue shares of Class A common stock for other purposes, there may be further dilution to new investors.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into a Financing Agreement, or the Agreement, with Virtu Americas LLC, or Virtu or the sales agent, pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, through or to Virtu, acting as sales agent or principal. We established this program with Virtu in 2023 and have periodically extended it. Pursuant to this prospectus supplement, we may issue and sell up to $50,000,000 of shares of our Class A common stock under the Agreement. Sales of our Class A common stock, if any, will be made by any method permitted by law, including by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Stock Market at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed with the sales agent, or by means of any other existing trading market for our Class A common stock or to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. This summary of the material provisions of the Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of the Agreement was filed as an exhibit to our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-279118) filed with the SEC on May 3, 2024 and is incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part. See “Where You Can Find More Information” below.
Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Virtu may sell our Class A common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other existing trading market for our Class A common stock.
We will pay the sales agent commissions for its services in acting as sales agent or principal in the sale of Class A common stock. The sales agent will be entitled to compensation equal to up to 2.0% of the gross sales price of each sale of Class A common stock sold through it under the Agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse Virtu for certain specified expenses, in an aggregate amount not exceeding $50,000, including the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation payable to the sales agent under the terms of the Agreement, will be approximately $150,000.
Settlement for sales of Class A common stock will occur on the second day on which shares of our Class A common stock are purchased and sold on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made, or on another date that is agreed upon by us and Virtu in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
The sales agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal sales and trading practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, to sell on our behalf shares of our Class A common stock, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement.

OUR COMPANY
Luminar is a global automotive technology company ushering in a new era of vehicle safety and autonomy. Over the past decade, Luminar has been building our light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor from the chip-level up, which is expected to meet the demanding performance, safety, reliability and cost requirements to enable next-generation safety and autonomous capabilities for passenger and commercial vehicles, as well as other adjacent markets.
The global automotive and mobility sector is increasingly focused on safety and autonomy, specifically next-generation advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, and highway autonomy for passenger and commercial vehicles. Our LiDAR technology provides increased situational awareness in a broad range of driving environments through improved and higher confidence detection and planning at all vehicle speeds. Beyond sensor hardware, our product portfolio has expanded to include in-development perception and decision-making software, as well as high definition “3D” mapping that we anticipate will monetize the ecosystem of improved safety and autonomy created by our LiDAR.
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 2018 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name Gores Metropoulos, Inc. On February 5, 2019, we completed our initial public offering. On December 2, 2020, we consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated August 24, 2020, with the pre-Business Combination Luminar Technologies, Inc. (“Legacy Luminar”). Legacy Luminar was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2015. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, we changed our name from Gores Metropoulos, Inc. to Luminar Technologies, Inc.
Our principal executive offices are located at 2603 Discovery Drive, Suite 100, Orlando, Florida 32826. Our telephone number is (800) 532-2417. Our website address is www.luminartech.com.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but are not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potentially,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these words or other comparable terminology.
These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, our history of losses and our expectation that we will continue to incur significant expenses, including substantial R&D costs, and continuing losses for the foreseeable future as well as our limited operating history which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter; our strategic initiatives which may prove more costly than we currently anticipate and potential failure to increase our revenue to offset these initiatives; the extent to which our LiDAR products are selected for inclusion in autonomous driving or Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (“ADAS”) by automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) or their suppliers, and whether we will be de-selected by any customers; the lengthy period of time from a major commercial win to implementation and the risks of cancellation or postponement of the contract or unsuccessful implementation; potential inaccuracies in our forward looking estimates of certain metrics, including Order Book, our future cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and bill of materials (“BOM”) and total addressable market; the discontinuation, lack of success of our customers in developing and commercializing products using our solutions or loss of business with respect to a particular vehicle model or technology package and whether end automotive consumers will demand and be willing to pay for such features; our ability to successfully fund our growth if there are considerable delays in product introductions by us or our customers; our inability to reduce and control the cost of the inputs on which we rely, which could negatively impact the adoption of our products and our profitability; the effect of continued pricing pressures, competition from other LiDAR manufacturers, OEM cost reduction initiatives and the ability of automotive OEMs to re-source or cancel vehicle or technology programs which may result in lower than anticipated margins, or losses, which may adversely affect our business; the effect of general economic conditions, including inflation, recession risks and rising interest rates, generally and on our industry and us in particular, including the level of demand and financial performance of the autonomous vehicle industry and the decline in fair value of available-for-sale debt securities in a rising interest rate environment; market adoption of LiDAR as well as developments in alternative technology and the increasingly competitive environment in which we operate, which includes established competitors and market participants that have substantially greater resources; our ability to achieve technological feasibility and commercialize our software products and the requirement to continue to develop new products and product innovations due to rapidly changing markets and government regulations of such technologies; our ability to build, launch, receive regulatory approval, sell, and service insurance products as well as market and differentiate the benefits of LiDAR-based ADAS to consumers; our ability to manage our growth and expand our business operations effectively, including into international markets, such as China, which exposes us to operational, financial, regulatory and geopolitical risks; changes in our government contracts business and our defense customers’ business due to political change and global conflicts; adverse impacts due to limited availability and quality of materials, supplies, and capital equipment, or dependency on third-party service providers and single-source suppliers; the project-based nature of our orders, which can cause our results of operations to fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis; whether we will be able to successfully transition our engineering designs into high volume manufacturing, including our ability to transition to an outsourced manufacturing business model and whether we and our outsourcing partners and suppliers can successfully operate complex machinery; whether we can successfully select, execute or integrate our acquisitions; whether the complexity of our products results in undetected defects and reliability issues which could reduce market adoption of our new products, limit our ability to manufacture, damage our reputation and expose us to product liability, warranty and other claims; our ability to maintain and adequately manage our inventory; our ability
to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting; our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; availability of qualified personnel, loss of highly skilled personnel and dependence on Austin Russell, our Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer; the impact of inflation and our stock price on our ability to hire and retain highly skilled personnel; the amount and timing of future sales and whether the average selling prices of our products could decrease rapidly over the life of the product as well as our dependence on a few key customers, who are often large corporations with substantial negotiating power; our ability to establish and maintain confidence in our long-term business prospects among customers and analysts and within our industry; whether we are subject to negative publicity; the effects of COVID-19 or other infectious diseases, health epidemics, pandemics and natural disasters on Luminar’s business; interruption or failure of our information technology and communications systems; cybersecurity risks to our operational systems, security systems, infrastructure, integrated software in our LiDAR solutions; market instability exacerbated by geopolitical conflicts, including the Israel-Hamas war and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as trade disputes with China and including the effect of sanctions and trade restrictions that may affect supply chain or sales opportunities. You should specifically consider the numerous risks outlined in “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent documents and reports we file with the SEC.
Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as actual events or results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, in the documents incorporated by reference herein and in any prospectus supplement by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which the statements were made and are not guarantees of future performance. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law, you are advised to review any additional disclosures we make in the documents we subsequently file with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK
General
The following is a summary of the rights of our common stock and preferred stock and certain provisions of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended on February 27, 2024, and our amended and restated bylaws as they are currently in effect, which we refer to in this section as our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, respectively. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended and amended and restated bylaws, copies of which have been filed with the SEC.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 846,000,000 shares, of which 715,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001 per share, are designated as Class A common stock (“Class A Stock”), 121,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001 per share, are designated as Class B common stock (“Class B Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001 per share, are designated as preferred stock.
Common Stock
Holders of Class A Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class B Stock are entitled to ten votes per share, on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock will generally vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by Delaware law or our certificate of incorporation. Delaware law could require either holders of Class A Stock or Class B Stock to vote separately as a single class in the following circumstances:
•if we were to seek to amend the certificate of incorporation to increase or decrease the par value of a class of the capital stock, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment; and
•if we were to seek to amend the certificate of incorporation in a manner that alters or changes the powers, preferences, or special rights of a class of capital stock in a manner that affected its holders adversely, then that class would be required to vote separately to approve the proposed amendment.
Conversion
Each outstanding share of Class B Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A Stock. In addition, each share of Class B Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Stock upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain permitted transfers described in the paragraph that immediately follows this paragraph and further described in the certificate of incorporation. Once converted into Class A Stock, the Class B Stock will not be reissued.
A transfer of Class B Stock will not trigger an automatic conversion of such stock to Class A Stock if it is a permitted transfer. A permitted transfer is a transfer by certain holders of Class B Stock to any of the persons or entities listed in clauses “(i)” through “(v)” below, each referred to herein as a Permitted Transferee, and from any such Permitted Transferee back to such holder of Class B Stock and/or any other Permitted Transferee established by or for such holder of Class B Stock: (i) to a trust for the benefit of the holder of Class B Stock and over which such holder of Class B Stock retains sole dispositive power and voting control, provided the holder of Class B Stock does not receive consideration in exchange for the transfer (other than as a settlor or beneficiary of such trust); (ii) to a trust for the benefit of persons other than the holder of Class B Stock so long as the holder of Class B Stock retains sole dispositive power and voting control, provided the holder of Class B Stock does not receive consideration in exchange for the transfer (other than as a settlor or beneficiary of such trust); (iii) to a trust under the terms of which such holder of Class B Stock has retained a “qualified interest” within the meaning of Section 2702(b)(1) of the U.S. Tax Code, and/or a reversionary interest so long as the holder of Class B Stock retains sole dispositive power and exclusive voting control with respect to the shares of Class B Stock held by such trust; (iv) to an Individual Retirement Account, as defined in Section 408(a) of the U.S. Tax Code, or a pension, profit sharing, stock bonus, or other type of plan or trust of which such holder of Class B Stock is a participant or beneficiary and which satisfies the requirements for qualification under Section 401 of the U.S. Tax Code, so long as such holder of Class B Stock
retains sole dispositive power and exclusive voting control with respect to the shares of Class B Stock held in such account, plan, or trust; or (v) to a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company in which such holder of Class B Stock directly, or indirectly, retains sole dispositive power and exclusive voting control with respect to the shares of Class B Stock held by such corporation, partnership, or limited liability company.
Each share of Class B Stock will convert automatically, without further action by the Company or the holder thereof, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Stock, upon: (a) the receipt by the Company of a written request for such conversion from the holders of a majority of the Class B Stock then outstanding, or, if later, the effective date for conversion specified in such request or (b) the occurrence of a transfer, other than a permitted transfer, of such share of Class B Stock.
Each outstanding share of Class B Stock held by a natural person or their Permitted Transferee will convert automatically into one share of Class A Stock upon the death or permanent disability of such holder.
Dividend Rights
Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that the Board may determine.
No Preemptive or Similar Rights
Class A Stock and Class B Stock will not be entitled to preemptive rights, and are not subject to conversion (except as noted above), redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions
If the Company becomes subject to a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to the stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Stock Exchange Listing
Our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The trading symbol for our Class A common stock is “LAZR.”
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Equiniti. The transfer agent and registrar’s address is 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219, and its telephone number is (718) 921-8124.
Preferred Stock
The Board is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, vesting, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by the stockholders. The Board can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by the stockholders.
The Board may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company and
may adversely affect the market price of Class A Stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock. There are no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Private Warrants
Warrants were issued in a private placement in connection with the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of Gores Metropoulos, Inc. (our name prior to the Business Combination with Legacy Luminar)(the “Private Warrants”). The Private Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Gores Metropoulos Sponsor LLC or its permitted transferees. Otherwise, the Private Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants sold as part of the public units in the IPO, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
If holders of the Private Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their Private Warrants for that number of shares of Class A Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Stock underlying the Private Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Private Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Some provisions of Delaware law, the certificate of incorporation, and the bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: an acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of the Company by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the removal of incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in the Company’s best interests, including transactions that provide for payment of a premium over the market price for the Company’s shares.
These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to first negotiate with Board. The Company believes that the benefits of the increased protection of the Company’s potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure the Company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware Law
The Company is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the person became an interested stockholder unless:
•prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
•the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (i) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
•at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by
written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction or series of transactions together resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions the Board does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 may also discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.
Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of the Company’s management team, including the following:
•Dual Class Common Stock. The certificate of incorporation provides for a dual class common stock structure pursuant to which holders of Class B Stock will have the ability to control the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval (even if they own significantly less than a majority of the shares of outstanding Class A Stock), including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of the Company or its assets. Directors, executive officers, and employees, and their respective affiliates, may have the ability to exercise significant influence over those matters.
•Board of Directors Vacancies. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws authorize only the Board to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats. In addition, the number of directors constituting the Board is permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of the Whole Board (as defined in the certificate of incorporation). These provisions prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of the Board and then gaining control of the Board by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of the Board but promotes continuity of management.
•Classified Board. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the Board is divided into three classes of directors. The existence of a classified board of directors could discourage a third-party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company as it is more difficult and time consuming for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors on a classified board of directors.
•Directors Removed Only for Cause. The certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders may remove directors only for cause.
•Supermajority Requirements for Amendments of Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The certificate of incorporation further provides that the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock will be required to amend certain provisions of the certificate of incorporation, including provisions relating to the classified Board, the size of the Board, removal of directors, special meetings, actions by written consent, and designation of preferred stock. In addition, the affirmative vote of holders of 75% of the voting power of each of the then-outstanding Class A Stock and Class B Stock, voting separately by class, is required to amend the provisions of the certificate of incorporation relating to the terms of the Class B Stock. The affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock is required to amend or repeal the bylaws, although the bylaws may be amended by a simple majority vote of the Board.
•Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by a majority of the Whole Board, the chairman of the Board, or the chief executive officer, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special meeting. The certificate of incorporation provides that the stockholders may not take action by written consent, but may only take action at annual or special meetings of stockholders. As a result, holders of capital stock are not able to amend the bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of stockholders called in
accordance with the bylaws. These provisions might delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders to take any action, including the removal of directors.
•Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. The bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before the annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at the annual meeting of stockholders. The bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude stockholders from bringing matters before the annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at the annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions might also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.
•No Cumulative Voting. The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting.
•Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock. The Board will have the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by the Board. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock will enable the Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or other means.
•Choice of Forum. The certificate of incorporation provides that the Chancery Court (or, if and only if the Chancery Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (2) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, or other employee of the Company or any stockholder to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (3) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder in such stockholder’s capacity as such arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated Bylaws; (4) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder); (5) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Chancery Court; and (6) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. The provisions would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all such Securities Act actions. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, the certificate of incorporation provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.
While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of the certificate of incorporation. This may require significant additional costs associated with
resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.
