Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously disclosed, on April 2, 2024, View, Inc. (“View” or the “Company”) entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) which, among other things, contemplated a $17.5 million debtor-in-possession financing facility (the “DIP Facility”) to be provided by the certain existing lenders, which may be rolled into an exit facility and upon emergence, a $32.5 million new-money exit financing facility. Additionally, on April 2, 2024 (the “Petition Date”), View and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), thereby commencing the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors sought approval of, among other thing, motions to obtain approval of the DIP Term Sheet (as defined below).

On April 4, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered customary orders approving first day motions related to its prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases, which included an interim order authorizing the Company to enter into the DIP Facility on the terms set forth in the DIP Term Sheet (defined below) and such interim order (the “Interim DIP Order”). The terms of the DIP Facility and transactions contemplated by the DIP Term Sheet and the Interim DIP Order remain subject to final approval by the Bankruptcy Court at a hearing that is currently scheduled to occur on April 26, 2024. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the DIP Facility described herein will be consummated on the terms and conditions set forth therein.

DIP Facility

Pursuant to a term sheet dated April 2, 2024 (the “DIP Term Sheet”), by and among the Company, as Borrower, the other Debtors, as guarantors, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent (“DIP Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (the “DIP Lenders”), and in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the RSA, the DIP Lenders have agreed to provide a priming, senior secured, superpriority debtor-in-possession delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to up to $17,500,000 (the “DIP Facility Commitment”) to the Company on the terms set forth in the DIP Term Sheet and the definitive documentation to be negotiated, executed and delivered by the Company, the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders in connection therewith, including credit, security, collateral and guarantee agreements (collectively, the “DIP Documents”).

Lenders’ obligations to fund borrowings under the DIP Facility are subject to various conditions customary for DIP financings of this type, as well as conditions that require that the RSA remains in full force and effect; and the Debtors have not entered into or committed to any plan, restructuring support agreement or any other agreement or understanding concerning the terms of a chapter 11 plan or other exit strategy without the consent of the Required DIP Lenders (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet).

The DIP Facility shall be used by the Company in accordance with the budget agreed upon between the Debtors and Required DIP Lenders (the “Approved Budget”).

Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Required DIP Lenders, the DIP Facility and the Debtors’ right to use cash collateral shall automatically terminate without further notice or court proceedings on the earliest to occur of: (i) 90 days after the Petition Date; (ii) the date of termination of the DIP Facility Commitment and/or acceleration of any outstanding borrowings under the DIP Facility pursuant to an Event of Default (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet); (iii) the first business day on which the interim order approving the DIP Facility expires by its terms or is terminated, unless the final order approving the DIP Facility has been entered and become effective prior thereto; (iv) conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) dismissal of any of the Chapter 11 Cases; (vi) the closing of a sale of substantially all of the equity or assets of the Debtors or any material asset of the Debtors; (vii) the date of repayment in cash in full by the Debtors of all outstanding obligations under the DIP Facility and termination of the DIP Facility Commitment in accordance with the terms of the DIP Facility; and (viii) the effective date of the Debtors’ plan of reorganization confirmed in the Chapter 11 Cases.

The obligations of the Debtors under the DIP Term Sheet and DIP Documents have priority over all other allowed Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 administrative expenses under the Bankruptcy Code, subject to a carveout as specified in the DIP Term Sheet, and shall be secured by a first-priority priming lien on and a security interest in all assets and property of the Company, subject to the Carve-Out (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet) and other prepetition liens permitted under the DIP Documents. The Debtors’ cash collateral and proceeds of the DIP Facility will be used by the Debtors, as permitted by the Interim DIP Order and final order approving the DIP Facility, the Approved Budget, and the DIP Documents, for working capital purposes, payment of adequate protection payments, and bankruptcy-related costs and expenses.

In consideration of the DIP Lenders’ provision of the DIP Facility, the Debtors are obligated to pay a closing fee of 3% of the DIP Facility Commitment and a commitment fee in an amount equal to 2% per annum of the undrawn DIP Facility Commitment payable on a monthly basis in cash. The Company will also pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the DIP Lenders.

Interest on the amounts borrowed under the DIP Facility will accrue and be payable monthly at a rate of (i) SOFR + 7.50% per annum if paid in cash, or (ii) SOFR + 14.00% if paid-in-kind and added to the principal balance at the Company’s option. An additional 2.00% per annum will apply during the continuance of a default.

The DIP Documents will contain customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including covenants mandating compliance with the Approved Budget, variance testing and reporting requirements, among others), and events of default.

The foregoing description of the DIP Term Sheet does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DIP Term Sheet, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 2, 2024, and incorporated herein by reference.
