•the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company who are guarantors of the 2025 Notes (the “Guarantors” and together with the Company, the “Obligors”) and the Investor (in its capacity as collateral agent and noteholder) entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Initial Forbearance Agreement”), dated April 4, 2024, pursuant to which the Investor agreed to, among other things, forbear from enforcing its right to immediate redemption as demanded in the Event of Default Redemption Notice and forbear from exercising any of its other default-related rights and remedies against the Company and the other Obligors with respect to (i) the suspension from trading or the failure of the Company’s Class A common stock to be trading or listed on an Eligible Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days, (ii) the Company’s failure to pay certain Installment Amounts due on March 29, 2024 (in the case of the Series B-1 Notes) and April 11, 2024 (in the case of the Series A-1 Notes), (iii) the failure by the Company to make a required interest payment due on the 2026 Notes (previously due on March 15, 2024) by April 14, 2024, and (iv) the delisting of the Company’s Class A common stock from an Eligible Market (such events described in clauses (i) through (iv), collectively, the “Specified Defaults”). The forbearance period under the Initial Forbearance Agreement commenced on April 4, 2024 and ended on April 21, 2024.

As previously disclosed, on April 21, 2024, the Obligors and the Investor entered into a new 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 Amended Forbearance Agreement).

On May 7, 2024, the Obligors and the Investor entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Forbearance Agreement (the “Amendment” and the Forbearance Agreement as amended by such Amendment, the “Amended Forbearance Agreement”), with an effective date as of May 1, 2024, pursuant to which the Investor agreed, subject to the terms set forth in the Amended Forbearance Agreement and among other things, 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 17, 2024 and (b) the occurrence of any Forbearance Default (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement). The Obligors and the Investor also agreed to amend the definition of “Specified Defaults” under the Forbearance Agreement to include the acceleration of the 2026 Notes and certain Events of Default under the 2025 Notes Indenture as a result of a

Bankruptcy Event of Default under the 2025 Notes in respect of Fisker GmbH (Austria) and/or Fisker (GB) Limited, the “Specified Defaults”).

A Forbearance Default includes, among other things, (i) the failure of any Obligor to comply in any material respect with any covenant or agreement set forth in the Forbearance Agreement, (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than the Specified Defaults described above), (iii) the Company or any Subsidiary engaging in any transaction (including the incurrence of Indebtedness), making any dividend, investment, payment or transfer, or taking any other action (or forbearing from taking any action), in each case, outside the ordinary course of business (taking into consideration the current circumstances of the Company and its Subsidiaries), (iv) the commencement of any action, suit, litigation, investigation or other proceeding against the Company or any of its subsidiaries by (x) the holders of any of the 2026 Notes issued by the Company pursuant to the indenture, dated as of August 17, 2021, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “2026 Notes Trustee”) (the “2026 Notes Indenture”), (y) the 2026 Notes Trustee or (z) any other person on behalf of the holders of the 2026 Notes, seeking enforcement of, redemption of, acceleration of or other similar remedies with respect to, the 2026 Notes or the obligations of the Company thereunder, (v) the voluntary commencement by the Company or any Subsidiary (or the involuntary commencement against the Company or any Subsidiary) of, among other things, any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions, as described further in the Forbearance Agreement (other than the Specified Defaults described above), (vi) the failure of the Company to provide, by April 26, 2024, written responses, certified by a responsible officer, to specified information requests and (vii) if the Company revokes or modifies in any material respect the delegation of authority of the CRO (as defined below).

In addition, in connection with entry into the Amendment, the Company agreed to, among other things, provide the Investor with a new three-week budget and cash flow forecast for the Company and its Subsidiaries in a form and substance acceptable to the Investor (the “Approved Budget”), and, except for the payment of fees and expenses of professional advisors, agreed to not use, transfer or expend any funds or monies for any purpose other than as set forth in the Approved Budget (or as expressly agreed to in writing by the Investor), subject to Permitted Variance (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement).

The Obligors and the Investor also agreed that the Company will continue to sell vehicles at auction and through dealers and direct-to-consumer sales, in accordance with the Approved Budget.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Forbearance Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events

Fisker Austria Restructuring Proceeding

On May 7, 2024, the Company’s Austrian subsidiary, Fisker GmbH (“Fisker Austria”), issued a press release to announce that it had voluntarily filed to open a restructuring proceeding via self-administration under the Austrian Insolvency Code. The proceeding will enable Fisker Austria to continue its operations under court protection, including paying employees and selling vehicles, while it pursues a strategic transaction or other sale of assets. The Company and its other subsidiaries are not included in the Austrian restructuring proceeding and continue to operate in the ordinary course. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference to this Item 8.01.

Noteholder Notice

On May 3, 2024, the Company received a letter, addressed to the Company and the 2026 Notes Trustee, from certain investors purporting to be Holders (as such term is defined in the 2026 Notes Indenture) of more than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes (the “2026 Notes Notice”). Under the 2026 Notes Notice, the investors purported to accelerate, effective as of May 3, 2024, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the 2026 Notes as a result of the occurrence and continuance of an “Event of Default” under the 2026 Notes Indenture in connection with the failure by the Company to make a required interest payment due on the 2026 Notes (previously due on March 15, 2024) and such failure continuing for more than 30 days. Such investors purported to be Holders of the 2026 Notes on the basis of certified beneficial ownership of the 2026 Notes through a broker, custodian or Depository Trust Company participant.

On May 7, 2024, the Company notified such investors that the 2026 Notes Notice failed to provide the Company with requisite evidence under the Indenture that such investors (i) held the requisite 2026 Notes in their name on the Note Register (as defined in the 2026 Notes Indenture) as required for such notice under the 2026 Notes Indenture or (ii) were acting as agent or proxy for such registered Holders, and that, as a result, the 2026 Notes Notice failed to meet the requirements for acceleration of the 2026 Notes under the 2026 Notes Indenture. The Company further notified the

investors that it will reevaluate a future notice and demand to the extent such investors provide evidence of holding the requisite 2026 Notes on the Notes Register or a written evidence of proxy of the requisite registered Holders.
