Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 24, 2022, Fisker Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Cowen and Company, LLC under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time in its sole discretion, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $350,000,000 through an “at the market” equity offering program under which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Cowen and Company, LLC will act as the sales agents (each, a “Sales Agent” and collectively, the “Sales Agents”).

Under the Distribution Agreement, the Company will set the parameters for the sale of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, limitations on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, the Sales Agents may sell the shares by methods deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made through the New York Stock Exchange or any other trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. In addition, the sales agents may also sell the shares of Class A Common Stock by any other method permitted by law, including, but not limited to, negotiated transactions.

The Distribution Agreement provides that each Sales Agent will be entitled to compensation for its services of up to 3% of the gross proceeds of any shares of Common Stock sold through such Sales Agent under the Distribution Agreement and the Company will reimburse each Sales Agent for certain expenses incurred in connection with its services under the Distribution Agreement, including reasonable legal fees in connection with the establishment of the at-the-market offering. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares under the Distribution Agreement, and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the Distribution Agreement. The offering of shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares subject to the Distribution Agreement or (ii) termination of the Distribution Agreement in accordance with its terms.

The Distribution Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this type. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Sales Agents against certain liabilities on customary terms, subject to limitations on such arrangements imposed by applicable law and regulation. In the ordinary course of its business, the Sales Agents and their affiliates have engaged in, and may engage in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company and its affiliates. The Sales Agents have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

The shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-261875), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 4, 2022. The Company filed a prospectus supplement, dated May 24, 2022 with the SEC in connection with the offer and sale of the shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Distribution Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Distribution Agreement. A copy of the Distribution Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

A copy of the legal opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, relating to the validity of the shares of Common Stock that may be sold pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 5.1.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy the securities discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
