Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed, on July 10, 2023, Fisker Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended, modified, and waived from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, 0% senior convertible notes due 2025 (the “Series A-1 Notes”) in a registered direct offering. On September 29, 2023, the Company agreed to sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, additional 0% senior convertible notes due 2025 (the “Series B-1 Notes” and together with the Series A-1 Notes, the “Notes”) in a registered direct offering. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined have the meanings as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Notes, as applicable.

As previously reported, on March 25, 2024, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) notified the Company that it had determined to immediately suspend trading in the Company’s Class A common stock and commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Class A common stock. On April 2, 2024, an Event of Default occurred under the Notes as a result of the suspension from trading of the Class A Common Stock on the NYSE for a period of 5 consecutive Trading Days (the “Suspension Default”).

In addition, the Company did not pay the Installment Amount due on the March 29, 2024 Installment Date under the Series B-1 Notes, resulting in an Event of Default under the Notes (the “B-1 Payment Default”).

As apreviously ~~result~~disclosed of such Events of Default, the Investor, among other things, has acquired certain rights and remedies, including the right to accelerate the Notes by requiring the Company to immediately redeem 100% of the outstanding Notes at the Event of Default Redemption Price, including any other amounts due under the Notes (the “Event of Default Redemption Right”), and accelerated the Notes pursuant to the Event of Default Redemption Right by delivering an Event of Default Redemption Notice on April 4, 2024: ~~to demand immediate redemption of the Notes in connection therewith.~~

On April 21, 2024, the Obligors and the Investor entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investor (in its capacity as collateral agent and noteholder) agreed, subject to the terms set forth in the Forbearance Agreement, to continue to temporarily forbear from enforcing its right to immediate redemption as demanded in the Event of Default Redemption Notice and from exercising any of its other default-related rights and remedies against the Company and the other Obligors solely with respect to the Specified Defaults, for a period commencing on April 21, 2024 and ending on the earlier of (a) May 1, 2024 and (b) the occurrence of any Forbearance Default (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement).
