Purchase and Other Obligations

The Company purchases goods and services from a variety of suppliers in the ordinary course of business. Purchase obligations are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions, and the approximate timing of the transaction. The Company had purchase obligations primarily for purchases of inventory, R&D, and general and administrative activities totaling $62.3 million as of June 30, 2022, which are expected to be received within a year.

In June 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with P3 USA, Inc. (“P3”) to provide engineering, and general and administrative services. Under the said agreement, the Company issued 291,940 shares of Class A common stock to P3 in the third quarter of 2021. In September 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to modify the existing agreement with P3 and among other things, extended the term of the agreement until December 2025. The Company has committed a spend of $30.0 million with P3 over the contracted term.

In May 2022, the Company entered into a strategic investment agreement with ECARX Holdings Inc. (“ECARX”) to purchase 1.5 million shares of class A ordinary shares of ECARX, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share with an aggregate amount of $15.0 million, contingent upon the closing of ECARX’s merger with a special purpose acquisition company, COVA Acquisition Corp., of which Jun Hong Heng is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and a principal shareholder. Mr.

Heng is also a director of Luminar. The purchase of such shares can be made with cash or Luminar’s shares of Class A common stock, at the Company’s discretion.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is involved in actions, claims, suits and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including assertions by third parties relating to intellectual property infringement, breaches of contract or warranties or employment-related matters. When it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records a liability for such loss contingencies. The Company’s estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on the Company’s judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although the Company will continue to reassess its reserves and estimates based on future developments, the Company’s objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from the Company’s current estimates. The Company’s current legal accrual is not deemed to be significant to the financial statements.
