Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 12, 2026, Aptera Motors Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Warrant Inducement Agreement (the “Inducement Agreement”) with holders (the “Holders”) of certain existing warrants (the “Existing Warrants”) to purchase shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company. Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, the Holders and the Company agreed that, subject to any applicable beneficial ownership limitations, that the Holders would cash exercise (i) warrants to purchase up to 3,167,500 shares of our Common Stock at the current exercise price per share of $2.00, previously issued in January 2026 (the “Existing Warrants”). The Company will receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6.34 million from the exercise of the Existing Warrants before deducting financial advisory fees and other expenses payable by the Company.
In consideration of the Holders’ agreement to exercise the Existing Warrants in accordance with the Inducement Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Holders new warrants (the “Inducement Warrants”) to purchase up to 4,751,250 shares of Common Stock, which is equal to 150% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Existing Warrants (the “Inducement Warrant Shares”).
The Inducement Warrants will have an exercise price of $3.50 per share, will be exercisable immediately and will expire on the five-year anniversary of their issuance date. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement within ten days of the date of the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “10-K Filing Date”), to register the resale of the Inducement Warrant Shares (the “Resale Registration Statement”) and to use commercially reasonably efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 days following the 10-K Filing Date.
The Company engaged A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”) to act as Financial Advisor in connection with the transactions summarized above and will pay A.G.P. a fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised in the transaction and reimburse A.G.P. for legal expenses incurred in connection with the transaction not to exceed $25,000.
Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, for a period of 30 days following the date of effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement registering the Inducement Warrant Shares, the Company may not (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue, or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents, or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, except for (a) any prospectus or prospectus supplements, or (b) a registration statement on Form S-8 related to employee benefit plans. These restrictions are subject to customary exceptions for “Exempt Issuances.”
The Existing Warrants and the underlying shares of Common Stock were registered pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-292655), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on January 20, 2026, which was declared effective on January 22, 2026.
The foregoing descriptions of the Inducement Agreement and the Inducement Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of Inducement Agreement and Inducement Warrants, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The Company issued the Inducement Warrants pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act available under Section 4(a)(2). The issuance of neither the Inducement Warrants nor the Inducement Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The description of the Inducement Warrants under Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor any exhibit attached hereto is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities of the Company.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On March 12, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the warrant inducement transaction. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
