Fisker intends to use the net proceeds that it receives from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, an additional battery pack line to support growth in 2024 and beyond, sales and marketing, capital expenditures, and the development of future products.
All amounts due under the Notes are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the Investor’s option, into Fisker’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, at the initial conversion price of $7.80, which conversion price is subject to certain limitations.
