Fisker Inc. Announces $600,000,000 Green Convertible Notes Offering

August 11, 2021

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#EVs–Fisker Inc. (NYSE: FSR) (“Fisker”) today announced its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “notes”) in a private offering only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Fisker also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date the notes are first issued, up to an additional $90,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes.

The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Fisker, and interest on the notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2022. The notes will mature on September 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The notes will be convertible under certain circumstances into cash, shares of Fisker’s Class A common stock (the “Common Stock”), or a combination thereof, at Fisker’s election. The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes are to be determined upon pricing of the offering.

In connection with the pricing of the notes, Fisker expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the notes or affiliates thereof and/or other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected to cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes, the number of shares of Common Stock that will initially underlie the notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Common Stock upon any conversion of notes and/or offset any potential cash payments that Fisker is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Fisker expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.

In connection with establishing their initial hedge of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Common Stock and/or may purchase shares of Common Stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes. These activities could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Common Stock or the notes at that time. In addition, Fisker expects that the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding certain derivative transactions with respect to the Common Stock and/or by purchasing or selling shares of Common Stock or other securities of Fisker in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and from time to time prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Common Stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the notes, and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the notes, it could affect the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, and value of the consideration that noteholders will receive upon conversion of the notes.

Fisker intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, one or more new or existing “eligible green projects” of Fisker, including PEAR program development, battery pack assembly and potential localization, the furtherance of new model development and technology development. Pending such allocation of net proceeds to eligible green projects, Fisker intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of the capped call transactions described above and for working capital and general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Fisker intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is unlawful. The notes will be offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act. Neither the notes nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, have been registered under the Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, such registration requirements of the Act and other applicable securities laws.
