The shares of Class A common stock included in the Reoffer Prospectus were issued to the selling securityholders in respect of awards that were issued to the selling securityholders as employees or directors of Fisker Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Fisker”), prior to the business combination of the Registrant, Legacy Fisker and the Registrant (as described in the Reoffer Prospectus).

Fisker Inc.

16,640,047 Shares of Class A common stock

This reoffer prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”), or their permitted transferees, of up to 16,640,047 shares of the Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class A common stock”) of Fisker Inc. (unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “Fisker,” “we,” “our” or “us”), a Delaware corporation. This prospectus covers 16,640,047 shares of Class A common stock issued to each Selling Securityholder under an option agreement between the Company and the Selling Securityholder. We are not offering any shares of Class A common stock and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A common stock by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders are “affiliates” of our company (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)).

Upon vesting of the shares offered hereby pursuant to the terms of the award agreements, and upon expiration of the lock-up agreements described herein, the Selling Securityholders may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers (or a single purchaser) or through broker-dealers or agents. If underwriters or dealers are used to sell the shares, we will name them and describe their compensation in a prospectus supplement. The Class A common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, varying prices determined at the time of sale or negotiated prices. We do not know when or in what amount the Selling Securityholders may offer the shares for sale. The Selling Securityholders may sell any, all or none of the shares offered by this prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 9 for more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell or dispose of the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus.

The shares of Class A common stock that have been or will be issued pursuant to options granted to the Selling Securityholders and will be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act before their sale under this prospectus. This prospectus has been prepared for the purposes of registering the shares under the Securities Act to allow for future sales by Selling Securityholders on a continuous or delayed basis to the public without restriction.

Our Class A common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “FSR”. On December 31, 2020, the closing price of our Class A common stock was $14.65 per share.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as that term is defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, are subject to certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you in making an investment decision. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information included in this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein. Potential investors should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed in “Risk Factors.”

The Company

We are building a technology-enabled, asset-light automotive business model that we believe will be among the first of its kind and aligned with the future state of the automotive industry. This involves a focus on vehicle development, customer experience, sales and service to change the personal mobility experience through technological innovation, ease of use and flexibility. We combine the legendary design and engineering expertise of Henrik Fisker – the visionary behind the iconic BMW Z8 sports car and the famed Aston Martin DB9 and V8 Vantage – to develop high quality electric vehicles with strong emotional appeal by engaging the consumer’s senses through the overall experience of Fisker vehicles. Central to our business model is the Fisker Flexible Platform Adaptive Design, a proprietary process that allows the development and design of a vehicle to be adapted to any given electric vehicle (“EV”) platform in the specific segment size. The process focuses on selecting industry leading vehicle specifications and adapting the design to crucial hard points on a third-party supplied EV platform and outsourced manufacturing to reduce development cost and time to market. We believe we are well-positioned through our global premium EV brand, our renowned design capabilities and sustainability focus.

Background

Spartan was originally known as Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp. On October 29, 2020, we consummated the Business Combination with Legacy Fisker pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated as of July 10, 2020 among us, Legacy Fisker and Merger Sub. In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, we changed our name to Fisker Inc. Legacy Fisker was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the Merger based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification 805. While we were the legal acquirer in the Merger, because Legacy Fisker was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy Fisker became the historical financial statements of the combined company, upon the consummation of the Merger.

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Legacy Fisker preferred stock (“Legacy Fisker Preferred Stock”) that was issued and outstanding was automatically converted into a share of Legacy Fisker Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Legacy Fisker Common Stock”), such that each converted share of Legacy Fisker Preferred Stock was no longer outstanding and ceased to exist, and each holder of Legacy Fisker Preferred Stock thereafter ceased to have any rights with respect to such securities.

Also immediately prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest due on Legacy Fisker’s outstanding convertible notes (“Legacy Fisker Convertible Notes”) immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically converted into shares of Legacy Fisker Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Legacy Fisker Convertible Notes, and such converted Legacy Fisker Convertible Notes were no longer outstanding and ceased to exist, and any liens securing obligations under the Legacy Fisker Convertible Notes were released.

At the Effective Time, (i) each share of Legacy Fisker Common Stock was converted into and exchanged for 2.7162 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of our Class A common stock and (ii) each share of Legacy Fisker Founders Stock was converted into and exchanged for 2.7162 shares of our Class B common stock.

At the Effective Time, all shares of Legacy Fisker Common Stock and Legacy Fisker Preferred Stock held in the treasury of Legacy Fisker were canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution was made with respect thereto.

At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Legacy Fisker Common Stock.

Each Legacy Fisker option that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock (such option, an “Exchanged Option”) equal to the product (rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, with a fraction of 0.5 rounded up) of (i) the number of shares of Legacy Fisker Common Stock subject to such Legacy Fisker option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up or down to the nearest whole cent, with a fraction of $0.005 rounded up) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such Legacy Fisker option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically

2

provided in the Business Combination Agreement, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Option will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Legacy Fisker option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

No certificates or scrip or shares representing fractional shares of Common Stock were issued upon the exchange of Legacy Fisker Common Stock. Any fractional shares were rounded up or down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock, with a fraction of 0.5 rounded up. No cash settlements were made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by such rounding.

Pursuant to our prior amended and restated certificate of incorporation, each share of Spartan’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”), converted into one share of Spartan’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), at the Closing. After the Closing and following the effectiveness of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”), (i) each share of Class A common stock was automatically reclassified, redesignated and changed into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of newly authorized Class A common stock, without any further action by us or any stockholder and (ii) each share of Class B common stock was automatically reclassified, redesignated and changed into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of newly authorized Class B common stock, without any further action by us or any stockholder.

On October 29, 2020, a number of purchasers (each, a “Subscriber”) purchased from the Company an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $500 million, pursuant to separate subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) entered into effective as of July 10, 2020. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company gave certain registration rights to the Subscribers with respect to the PIPE Shares. The sale of PIPE Shares was consummated concurrently with the Closing.

On October 14, 2020, Fisker and Spartan entered into a Cooperation Agreement with Magna International Inc. (“Magna”) setting forth certain terms for the development of a full electric vehicle (the “Cooperation Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, we issued warrants to purchase 19,474,454 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share to Magna on October 29, 2020.

Our Class A common stock and Public Warrants are currently listed on the NYSE under the symbols “FSR” and “FSR WS,” respectively.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Upon vesting of the shares offered hereby pursuant to the terms of the award agreements, and upon expiration of the lock-up agreements described herein, the Selling Securityholders may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers (or a single purchaser) or through broker-dealers or agents.

Risk Factors

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors”, that represent challenges that we face in connection with the successful implementation of our strategy and growth of our business.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in our Current Report on Form 8-K, initially filed with the Commission on October 4, 2020 (the “Closing 8-K”), and under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of each subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K (which documents are incorporated by reference herein), as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement hereto before making a decision to invest in our Class A common stock. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The shares of Class A common stock covered by this reoffer prospectus are being registered by the Company for the account of the Selling Securityholders. The shares of Class A common stock offered may be sold from time to time directly by or on behalf of each Selling Securityholder in one or more transactions on Nasdaq or any other stock exchange on which the Class A common stock may be listed at the time of sale, in privately negotiated transactions, or through a combination of such methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or at negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholders may sell shares through one or more agents, brokers or dealers or directly to purchasers. Such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders and/or purchasers of the shares or both. Such compensation as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions.

In connection with their sales, a Selling Securityholder and any participating broker or dealer may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions they receive and the proceeds of any sale of shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the shares of Class A common stock. Any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares will be borne by the Selling Securityholders or other party selling such shares. Sales of the shares must be made by the Selling Securityholders in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act. In addition to any shares sold hereunder, Selling Securityholders may sell shares of Class A common stock in compliance with Rule 144. There is no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell all or a portion of the Class A common stock offered hereby. The Selling Securityholders may agree to indemnify any broker, dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares arising under the Securities Act. We have notified the Selling Securityholders of the need to deliver a copy of this reoffer prospectus in connection with any sale of the shares.

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our Class A common stock and activities of the Selling Securityholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Class A common stock by the Selling Securityholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in passive market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. Passive market making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of our common stock in the secondary market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Class A common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Class A common stock.

Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Class A common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are incorporated herein by reference:

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents, except as to specific sections of such statements as set forth therein.

Unless expressly incorporated into this Registration Statement, a report furnished on Form 8-K prior or subsequent to the date hereof shall not be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, except as to specific sections of such statements as set forth therein. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

The validity of the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock is being passed upon for the Registrant by Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP. A copy of this opinion is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Registration Statement..

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability:

13

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s amended and restated bylaws provide that:

In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers to provide these directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections.

The Registrant has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for securities matters.

These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements entered into between the Registrant and each of its directors and executive officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

See also the undertakings set out in response to Item 9 hereof.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

The shares being reoffered and resold pursuant to the Reoffer Prospectus were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 701 promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering or pursuant to a written compensatory benefit plan..

Item 8. Exhibits

14

Item 9. Undertakings.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by such paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
