Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On March 28, 2024, William R. McDermott resigned from the board of directors (the “Board”) of Fisker Inc. (the “Company”) and the Audit Committee of the Board. Mr. McDermott’s employer requested Mr. McDermott resign for governance reasons to reduce the number of outside boards he serves on. Mr. McDermott’s resignation was not a result of any disagreement with the Company.

On April 3, 2024, the Board appointed John S. Dubel to the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Dubel will serve as a Class II director with a term to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025. In connection with his appointment to the Board, the Board appointed him to serve on the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”).

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Dubel and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. There are no family relationships between Mr. Dubel and any director or executive officer of the Company.

As part of Mr. Dubel’s appointment to the Board, the Company and Mr. Dubel entered into an Independent Director Agreement dated April 3, 2024 (the “Independent Director Agreement”). Mr. Dubel’s compensation for his services as a director and member of the Audit Committee will be in accordance with the Independent Director Agreement, which provides a monthly fee of $35,000 (the “Monthly Fee”), pro-rated for any partial service. In addition to the fees set forth above, the Company shall pay directly or reimburse Mr. Dubel upon receipt of periodic billings, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his appointment. Further, in connection with his appointment as a director, Mr. Dubel will enter into an indemnification agreement with the Company consistent with the form agreement executed with each of the Company’s current directors.

Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously disclosed, the Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives. Such alternatives may include in or out of court restructurings, capital markets transactions (subject to market conditions), repurchases, redemptions, exchanges or other refinancings of the Company’s existing debt, the potential issuance of equity securities, the potential sale of assets and businesses and/or other strategic transactions and/or other measures. These alternatives involve significant uncertainties, potential significant delays, costs and other risks, and there can be no assurance that any of these alternatives will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, in the current market environment or in the foreseeable future.

The Company has determined to withdraw all financial and operational guidance for the year 2024 that was previously disclosed by the Company on February 29, 2024, and will forego providing any updated guidance while it continues to evaluate strategic alternatives.
