As previously disclosed, on March 6, 2019, GigCapital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) issued four unsecured promissory notes (each, a “Note” and collectively the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,437,500.00, representing $0.10 per public share, as follows: (i) $1,046,044.70 issued to GigAcquisitions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Sponsor”), (ii) $261,015.57 to Cowen Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cowen Investments”), (iii) $117,395.49 to Irwin Silverberg, an individual and affiliate of Cowen Investments (“Silverberg”) and (iv) $13,044.23 to Jeffrey Bernstein, an individual and affiliate of Cowen Investments (“Bernstein”, and collectively with Sponsor, Cowen Investments, and Silverberg, our “Founders”). The Founders deposited such funds into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), as described in the prospectus filed by the Company in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. As a result, the period of time the Company has to consummate its previously announced business combination was extended by three months to June 12, 2019. The Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the consummation of the Company’s previously announced business combination disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2019.

On April 18, 2019, at the request of Cowen Investments, the Note issued to Cowen Investments was cancelled by the Company and reissued to Cowen Investments II LLC (“Cowen II”), an affiliate of Cowen Investments (the “Cowen II Note”). Such reissuance was permitted by the terms of the original Note issued to Cowen Investments. The terms of the Cowen II Note are otherwise identical in all respects to the original Note issued to Cowen Investments, with the exception of the date of issuance.

A copy of the Cowen II Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The disclosure set forth in this Item 2.03 is intended to be a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Cowen II Note.
