Fisker reports financing commitment, negotiations with automaker for investment

Fisker announced a financing commitment from an existing investor providing up to $150M of gross proceeds. The financing is being provided by the holder of the company’s 2025-dated convertible notes and will be organized in four tranches. The financing is subject to certain conditions, including the filing of Fisker’s 2023 Form 10-K. Fisker is also continuing negotiations with a large automaker for a potential transaction which could include an investment in Fisker, joint development of one or more electric vehicle platforms, and North America manufacturing. The closing of any transaction would be subject to satisfaction of important conditions, including completion of due diligence and negotiation and execution of appropriate definitive agreements. Fisker has produced approximately 1,000 vehicles in 2024 through March 15, and has delivered approximately 1,300 globally in that same timeframe. The company has approximately 4,700 vehicles in its currently inventory, carried over from 2023 and including 2024 production. While it has not completed an NRV analysis for 2024, Fisker believes the completed vehicle value for its inventory as of March 15 is in excess of $200M. Fisker will pause production for six weeks starting the week of March 18, 2024, to align inventory levels and progress strategic and financing initiatives.
