Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 20, 2022, Canoo Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Pre-Paid Advance Agreement (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “PPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”). In accordance with the terms of the PPA, the Company may request advances of up to $50,000,000 in cash from Yorkville (or such greater amount that the parties may mutually agree).

 

On September 11, 2023, the Company entered into a third Supplemental Agreement (the “Third Supplemental Agreement”) with Yorkville to the PPA. Pursuant to the Third Supplemental Agreement, Yorkville agreed to advance $12,500,000 to the Company (the “Third Supplemental Advance”) and waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the PPA with respect to such Supplemental Advance. After giving effect to the commitment fee and the purchase price discount provided for in the PPA, net proceeds of the Third Supplemental Advance to the Company will be $11,750,000.

 

The Third Supplemental Agreement provides that solely with respect to the Third Supplemental Advance, the Purchase Price (as such term is used in the PPA) will be equal to the lower of (a) $0.57 per share, or (b) 95% of the lowest daily VWAP during five Trading Days immediately preceding each Purchase Notice Date (as such term is used in the PPA), but not lower than the Floor Price (as defined in the PPA). Further, the Company agreed to pay Yorkville a commitment fee of $625,000 in connection with the Third Supplemental Agreement, which shall be deducted from the proceeds of the Third Supplemental Advance.

 

The foregoing description of the Third Supplemental Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Supplemental Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Company is attaching to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 5.1 the opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP relating to the validity of the shares to be offered pursuant to the Company's prospectus supplement dated September 13, 2023.
