Second Supplemental Agreement

On July 19, 2024, Canoo Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Prepaid Advance Agreement (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “July PPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (“Yorkville”). In accordance with the terms of the July PPA, the Company may request advances of up to $15,000,000 in cash from Yorkville (or such greater amount that the parties may mutually agree) (each, a “Prepaid Advance”) with an aggregate limitation on the Prepaid Advances of $100,000,000.

On October 11, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into the second Supplemental Agreement (the “Second Supplemental Agreement”) with Yorkville to the July PPA. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, Yorkville agreed to advance approximately $2,659,574 to the Company (the “Second Supplemental Advance”). After giving effect to the commitment fee and the purchase price discount provided for in the July PPA, net proceeds of the Second Supplemental Advance to the Company will be approximately $2,500,000.

The Second Supplemental Agreement provides that solely with respect to the Second Supplemental Advance, the Purchase Price (as such term is used in the July PPA) will be equal to the lower of (a) $1.1118 per share and (b) 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market during five trading days immediately preceding the date on which Yorkville provides a Purchase Notice (as defined in the July PPA) to the Company; however, in no event shall the Purchase Price be less than the then current Floor Price (as defined in the July PPA). As of the Effective Date, the current Floor Price is $1.00 per share.

The foregoing description of the Second Supplemental Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Supplemental Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Warrant Agreement

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the terms of the July PPA and in connection with the Second Supplemental Advance, the Company issued to Yorkville a warrant to purchase approximately 1.2 million shares of Common Stock each at an exercise price of $1.1118 per share, exercisable beginning on April 11, 2025 and with an expiration date of October 11, 2029 (the “Warrants”). The Warrants include customary adjustment provisions for stock splits, combinations and similar events.

The foregoing description of the Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrants, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Yorkville Second ATM Consent Agreement

As previously disclosed, in addition to the July PPA, the Company entered into a Pre-Paid Advance Agreement, dated July 20, 2022 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “2022 PPA,” and together with the July PPA, collectively, the “PPA Agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of each of the PPA Agreements, the Company may enter into an “at the market offering” or other continuous offering or similar offering of Common Stock with a registered broker-dealer, whereby the Company may sell Common Stock at a future determined price; provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to execute transactions under such agreement unless (i) an Amortization Event (as defined in the PPA Agreements) has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) there is no balance outstanding under all prior Prepaid Advances (as defined in the PPA Agreements).

As previously disclosed, on September 13, 2024, the Company and Yorkville entered into an Omnibus Consent to Pre-Paid Advance Agreements (the “Initial Consent Agreement”) whereby Yorkville consented to the Company undertaking an at-the-market offering pursuant to that certain Equity Distribution Agreement, dated September 13, 2024, by and between the Company and Northland Securities, Inc. (such at-the-market offering, the “ATM Offering”) subject to certain conditions including the following. In accordance with the Initial Consent Agreement, solely with respect to the first $5 million of gross proceeds received or receivable by the Company (such proceeds, the “Initial ATM Proceeds”) pursuant to sales of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), sold under the ATM Offering (such sales up to the Initial ATM Proceeds, the “Initial ATM Sales”), the Company will retain 100% of the Initial ATM Proceeds. As of the Effective Date, the Company received Initial ATM Proceeds equal to approximately $4.7 million from the Initial ATM Sales.

On the Effective Date, the Company and Yorkville entered into a second Omnibus Consent to Pre-Paid Advance Agreements (the “Second Consent Agreement”) pursuant to which solely with respect to the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at the close of business on November 22, 2024 (such time period, the “Applicable ATM Time Period”), the Company will be allowed to utilize the ATM Offering at its discretion; provided that, other than the proceeds from the remaining Initial ATM Sales, the Company and Investor will, subject to the redemption premium set forth in the PPA Agreements, evenly split 50%/50% any gross proceeds receivable by the Company from sales of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Offering during the Applicable ATM Time Period; provided further that any further sales under the ATM Offering subsequent to the Applicable ATM Time Period will require the Investor’s prior written consent.

The foregoing description of the Second Consent Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Consent Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of the Warrants is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Yorkville represented to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act and that the Warrants are being acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
