Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement

As previously disclosed, on July 10, 2023, Fisker Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Original Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, $340,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Series A-1 senior convertible notes due 2025 (the “Series A-1 Notes”) in a registered direct offering. The Series A-1 Notes were issued at an original issue discount of approximately twelve percent (12%) resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $300,000,000.

Pursuant to the terms of the Original Purchase Agreement, during a sixth-month period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the issuance of the Series A-1 Notes and ending on the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance of the Series A-1 Notes (the “AIR Period”), the Investor could purchase up to an additional $226,666,667 in aggregate principal amount of senior convertible notes due two years after the date of issuance (the “Investor AIR Notes”) in one or more registered direct offerings. If the Investor elected, during the AIR Period, to purchase the full amount of Investor AIR Notes, the Company could, at its option, require the Investor to purchase up to an additional $113,333,333 in aggregate principal amount of senior convertible notes due two years after the date of issuance (the “Issuer AIR Notes” and, together with the Investor AIR Notes, the “Additional Notes”).

On September 29, 2023, the Company and the Investor entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Original Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Original Purchase Agreement, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), in order to:

 

   

Increase the aggregate principal amount of Investor AIR Notes available for purchase to $566,666,667, to be purchased at any time after (A) with respect to the initial $170,000,000 of Investor AIR Notes, September 27, 2023, (B) with respect to the next $226,666,667 of Investor AIR Notes, December 29, 2023 or (C) with respect to the remaining $170,000,000 of Investor Air Notes, March 29, 2024;

 

   

Increase the aggregate principal amount of Issuer AIR Notes to $226,666,667;

 

   

Extend the Investor’s right to effect a closing of Investor AIR Notes to March 29, 2026;

 

   

Provide that if the Investor consummates a closing to purchase at least $170,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes, during the period commencing on the date of the Purchase Agreement Amendment and ending on October 2, 2023, with respect to any Series A-1 Notes and any Additional Notes outstanding during such period, if such holder requests an Acceleration (as defined in such notes) prior to January 11, 2024 at a time when the Acceleration Conversion Price (as defined in such notes) is greater than the Installment Conversion Price (as defined in such notes) for the July 11, 2023 Installment Date (as defined in such notes) of the Series A-1 Notes (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events) (the “Acceleration Temporary Ceiling”), the Company agrees that the Conversion Price (as defined in such notes) of such portion of such note that would otherwise have been converted in such Acceleration shall be automatically reduced to the Acceleration Temporary Ceiling and, in lieu of such Acceleration, such conversion shall be settled as a voluntary optional conversion in accordance with such note;

 

   

Extend the Investor’s ability to participate in any financings completed by the Company from July 11, 2024 to September 29, 2024, in an amount up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount raised in said financings, subject to standard carve outs and excluding any transactions conducted pursuant to any at-the-market program that the Company may have in place at such time;


   

Increase the amount of Common Stock required to be reserved by the Company prior to obtaining the stockholder approval described below to 782,000,000 shares of Common Stock; and

 

   

Require that the Company either obtain the prior written consent of requisite stockholders or seek and obtain stockholder approval at a special meeting (in each case no later than January 31, 2024), in order to (x) approve the issuance of such portion of securities issued or issuable solely with respect to an Additional Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in compliance with the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and (y) increase the authorized shares of the Company from 1,250,000,000 to 2,000,000,000, and if the Company fails to obtain such approval, it will seek approval at an additional stockholder meeting on or prior to March 31, 2024 and, if necessary, semi-annually thereafter.

On August 30, 2023, we held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) where our stockholders approved the potential issuance of more than 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of (i) the $340,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Series A-1 Notes and (ii) the $340,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes issuable pursuant to the Original Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement Amendment, the Company may offer an incremental $340,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Investor AIR Notes and $113,333,334 in aggregate principal amount of Issuer AIR Notes. Given this increase in aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes that may be issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to either obtain the prior written consent of requisite stockholders or seek and obtain stockholder approval at a special meeting (in each case no later than January 31, 2024), in order to (x) approve the issuance of such portion of securities issued or issuable solely with respect to an Additional Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in compliance with the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and (y) increase the authorized shares of the Company from 1,250,000,000 to 2,000,000,000, and if the Company fails to obtain such approval, it will seek approval at an additional stockholder meeting on or prior to March 31, 2024 and, if necessary, semi-annually thereafter. Unless we obtain the approval of our stockholders in accordance with the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, a maximum of 42,156,083 shares of our Class A Common Stock (19.99% of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock on September 27, 2023) shall be issuable upon conversion or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the incremental $453,333,334 of Additional Notes added pursuant to the Purchase Agreement Amendment.

The Offering

Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell, and the Investor has agreed to purchase, $170,000,000 of Additional Notes, as Series B-1 senior convertible notes due 2025 (the “Series B-1 Notes”) in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). The Offering is expected to close on September 29, 2023 (the actual date of the Offering closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”), subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. We estimate the net amount of proceeds to us from the Offering after deducting offering expenses will be $148,372,154. The Company intends to use the net proceeds that it receives from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, accelerating vehicle deliveries, supporting growth, and expediting vehicle programs.

The Series B-1 Notes have an original issue discount of approximately twelve percent (12%) resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $150,000,000. All amounts due under the Series B-1 Notes are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the Investor’s option, into our Class A Common Stock, at the initial conversion price of $7.5986, which conversion price is subject to certain limitations. Up to 146,551,724 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Shares”) are issuable from time to time upon conversion or otherwise under the Series B-1 Notes, assuming conversion at a conversion price equal to the Floor Price (as defined in the Series B-1 Notes). The Series B-1 and Shares are being offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-261875) (the “Registration Statement”).

The Series B-1 Notes will be issued as senior unsecured obligations of the Company under that certain Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated July 11, 2023, by and between the Company and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as the trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by that certain Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to be entered into on the Closing Date. The terms of the Series B-1 Notes include those provided in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Series B-1 Notes will mature on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to certain rights of the Investor to extend the maturity date. Unless and until an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Series B-1 Notes shall not bear any interest. The additional terms of the Series B-1 Notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the Series A-1 Notes (which are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 10, 2023).

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, each of which is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Trustee shall not register a transfer, exchange, redemption, conversion, cancellation or any other action with respect to a Note unless instructed to do so in an Officer’s Certificate, Conversion Notice and/or Acknowledgement, as applicable. Each Officer’s Certificate, Conversion Notice and/or Acknowledgement, as applicable, given to the Trustee in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall constitute a representation and warranty to the Trustee that the Trustee shall be fully indemnified in connection with any liability arising out of or related to any action taken by the Trustee in good faith reliance on such Officer’s Certificate, Conversion Notice and/or Acknowledgement, as applicable.

(v) in the event that the Holders of the Notes have waived any Event of Default with respect to this Second Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes hereunder and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default to impair any right consequent thereon;

(b) Additional Indemnification. In addition to any indemnification rights set forth in the Indenture, the Company agrees the Trustee may retain one separate counsel on behalf of itself and the Holders (and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional separate counsel on behalf of the Holders) and, if deemed advisable by such counsel, local counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel and local counsel.


(c) Successor Trustee Petition Right.

(d) Trustee as Creditor. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

(e) Reports by the Company. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that delivery of such reports, information, and documents to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.05 of the Indenture is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Re: Registration of Securities of Fisker Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Fisker Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of $170,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 0% senior convertible notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) and up to 146,551,724 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Common Stock”), issuable from time to time upon conversion or otherwise under the Notes (including shares of common stock that may be issued as interest in lieu of cash payments), pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-261875) (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the prospectus dated January 4, 2022 (the “Base Prospectus”), and the prospectus supplement dated September 29, 2023, to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Securities Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement are collectively referred to as the “Prospectus.” The Notes are to be sold by the Company in the manner described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The Company is filing this opinion letter with the Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”).

In connection with rendering the opinion set forth below, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2023, by and between the Company and purchaser party thereto (the “Purchaser”), as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2023, by and between the Company and the Purchaser; (ii) the Indenture, dated as of July 11, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Company and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”); (iii) the Second Supplemental Indenture to the Base Indenture, dated as of even date herewith, by and between the Company and the Trustee (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”); (iv) the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company as amended by that certain certificate of amendment filed with the Secretary of State of the State of

Delaware on September 22, 2023, as in effect as of the date hereof; (v) the Restated Bylaws of the Company, as in effect as of the date hereof; (vi) the form of Note; (vii) the Registration Statement; (viii) the Prospectus; (ix) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the issuance, sale and registration of the Notes and Shares; and (x) such corporate records of the Company, certificates of public officials, officers of the Company and other persons, and such other documents, agreements and instruments as we have deemed relevant and necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below.

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our examination of documents executed or to be executed, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. We have further assumed the sufficiency of any consideration for the obligations of each of the parties under the documents covered by this opinion letter to which it is a party, and that there are no modifications, amendments or supplements to any of the documents covered by this opinion letter other than as referenced herein. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others and of public officials.

We have also assumed that (i) any Shares issuable upon conversion, exchange, or exercise of the Notes will be duly authorized, created, and, if appropriate, reserved for issuance upon such conversion, exchange, or exercise; and (ii) after the issuance of any securities offered pursuant to the Registration Statement, the total number of issued Shares together with the total number of shares of such stock issuable upon the exercise, exchange, conversion, or settlement, as the case may be, of any exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security then outstanding, will not exceed the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s certificate of incorporation as then in effect.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each of the Notes and the Indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

2. The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when and if duly issued upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Our opinion that any document is valid, binding or enforceable in accordance with its terms is subject to: (a) limitations imposed by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, arrangement, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (b) rights to indemnification and contribution which may be limited by applicable law or equitable principles or otherwise unenforceable as against public policy; (c) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties, forfeiture, late payment charges, or an increase in interest rate upon delinquency in payment or the occurrence of any event of default; (d) applicable laws limiting unreasonable restraints on the alienation of property; and (e) general principles of equity including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Our opinions herein are limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the federal laws of the United States of America and, solely with respect to whether or not the Notes and the Indenture are the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, the laws of the State of New York. This opinion letter is limited to such laws as are in effect on the date hereof. Without limitation, no opinion is expressed herein with respect to the qualification of the Notes and the Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of any state or any foreign jurisdiction. We express no opinion as to whether a state court outside of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in the Notes and the Indenture. We hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement and to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Current Report and its incorporation by reference into the Registration Statement. By giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FISKER RAISES ADDITIONAL GROWTH CAPITAL FROM EXISTING INVESTOR;

FUNDING IS $150 MILLION, WITH AN ADDITIONAL $550 MILLION AVAILABLE

LOS ANGELES (Sept. 29, 2023) – Fisker Inc. (NYSE: FSR) (“Fisker”), driven by a mission to create the world’s most emotional and sustainable electric vehicles, announced today its intention to offer $170,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 0% senior unsecured convertible notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) to an existing institutional investor (the “Investor”), with such Notes having an original issue discount of approximately 12%, resulting in gross proceeds of $150,000,000 to Fisker.

The Notes are being sold pursuant to a previously announced Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 10, 2023 (the “Original Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Investor, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 29, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Original Purchase Agreement, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).

As a result of the Purchase Agreement Amendment, Fisker may now offer up to an additional $623,333,334 in aggregate principal amount of 0% senior unsecured convertible notes under the Securities Purchase Agreement, with such notes having an original issue discount of approximately 12%, resulting in additional gross proceeds of up to $550,000,000 to Fisker.

The new investment round follows a previously announced convertible notes offering of $340,000,000 in aggregate principal amount in July 2023 by Fisker to the Investor.

This capital will enable Fisker to accelerate deliveries, expand growth, and expedite the company’s vehicle programs.
