Below is a discussion of the terms, amendments, and financial impacts for each category of debt.
Secured SPA Notes
Overview and Terms
The Secured SPA Notes were issued under the Secured SPA Agreement dated August 14, 2022, with FF Simplicity Ventures LLC (“FFSV”) acting as administrative agent, collateral agent, and purchaser, along with additional purchasers. These senior secured convertible notes are supported by a second lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
The Secured SPA Notes bear an annual interest rate of 10%, increasing to 15% if interest is paid in shares of Class A Common Stock. Principal and interest are due at maturity, unless converted earlier pursuant to the Secured SPA Notes’ conversion privileges. Issued at a 10% original issue discount, these notes are convertible into Class A Common Stock at the lesser of a fixed conversion price or 90% of the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date. The Secured SPA Notes are subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection and as of December 31, 2024 the fixed price conversion price was $1.16. The Secured SPA Notes mature six-years from each date of issuance. The outstanding Secured SPA Notes, as of December 31, 2024, are scheduled to mature on various dates in 2029 and 2030.
In connection with the issuance of the Secured SPA Notes, the Company also granted to each purchaser a warrant (the “Secured SPA Warrants”) to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 33% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the aggregate principal amount under the Secured SPA Notes funded. The Secured SPA Warrants are subject to the same full ratchet anti-dilution price protection as the Secured SPA Notes. The Secured SPA Warrants are indexed to the Company’s Class A Common Stock and, as such, meet the scope exception in ASC 815-40 to be classified within equity.
The Company elected the fair value option afforded by ASC 825, Financial Instruments, with respect to the Secured SPA Notes because the notes include features, such as a contingently exercisable put option, that meet the definition of an embedded derivative. The Company expenses transaction costs to Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options or Change in fair value of related party notes payable and related party warrant liabilities, as applicable, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company also elected to apply the fair value option for other SPA Portfolio Notes.
Amendments and Modifications
The Secured SPA Notes have undergone several amendments:
Sixth Amendment (February 3, 2023): This amendment introduced Tranche C Notes with an aggregate principal of up to $135.0 million at an original base conversion price of $10,080.00, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. Certain outstanding Secured SPA Notes totaling $31.0 million in principal were replaced with notes carrying a conversion price of $8,568.00. The change to the conversion price triggered accounting treatment under ASC 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”) and the Company recognized a Loss on settlement of notes payable because the change in fair value of the conversion feature was substantial.
Seventh Amendment (March 23, 2023): Accelerated funding timelines for $40.0 million of committed Tranche C Notes and $5.0 million of optional Tranche B Notes. Original issuance discounts for $25.0 million of Tranche C Notes and $5.0 million of Tranche B Notes were increased to 14% and 16%, respectively.
Eighth Amendment (May 8, 2023): Reduced the floor price for conversion from $2,016.00 to $960.00 and lowered exercise prices for the remaining Secured SPA Notes and related warrants from $10,080.00 to $8,568.00. The change to the conversion price triggered accounting treatment under ASC 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”) and the Company recognized a Loss on settlement of notes payable because the change in fair value of the conversion feature was substantial.
Unanimous Written Consents: During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors exercised its authority via a series of written consents (the “Unanimous Written Consents”) to adjust the principal conversion price of the Secured SPA Notes as it considered desirable. The Board chose to reduce the principal conversion price from $29.33 to 105% of the listed market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the close of the trading day on which a conversion notice is delivered. The adjustments to the principal conversion price were temporary in nature and contractually concluded on June 30, 2024. The actions of the Board in the Unanimous Written Consents did not trigger any full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the Company’s debt and equity securities.
Eleventh and Twelfth Amendments (July 11, 2024): Permitted entry into the Collateralized Loan by subordinating liens securing the Secured SPA Notes to liens under the Collateralized Loan (See Collateralized Loan below).
Waiver Agreement
The Waiver Agreement dated August 2, 2024, revised key financial terms of the Secured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes, including elimination of the Make-Whole Amount. The Make-Whole Amount was a provision that entitled noteholders to compensation for the interest they would have received had the notes been held to maturity. Additionally, pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, the holders agreed that accrued interest shall be due at maturity or conversion. Further, the conversion price was reduced to the lesser of (1) the conversion price then in effect, $29.33, subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring thereafter) or (2) 90% of the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock as of the trading day ended immediately prior to the time the conversion notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of the Waiver Agreement will apply to all Secured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes currently issued or issuable in the future pursuant to the Secured SPA Agreement and 2023 Unsecured SPA Agreement.
In accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments, the changes pursuant to the Waiver Agreement qualified as an extinguishment because the change in the fair value of the conversion feature was substantial. Accordingly, the Company recognized a Loss on settlement of notes payable in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, calculated as the difference between the reacquisition price of the debt and the net carrying amount of the notes.
Anti-Dilution Adjustments
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into multiple dilutive stock sale and purchase transactions, that triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protections embedded in the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrants. As a result, the fixed-price conversion price of the Secured SPA Notes and exercise price of the Secured SPA Warrants outstanding prior to such financings was reduced to a price equal to the price per share paid in the dilutive financings.

On September 5, 2024, the Company entered into the Junior Secured SPA Agreement, which triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrants. The issuance of the Junior Secured SPA Notes constituted a dilutive issuance, as the stated conversion price of $5.24 was less than the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrant exercise price.

On December 21, 2024, the Company entered into the 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes, which triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the Secured SPA Notes and Secured SPA Warrant. The issuance of the 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes constituted a dilutive issuance, as the stated conversion price of $1.16 was less than the Secured SPA Notes conversion price and Secured SPA Warrant exercise price.
Summary of Secured SPA Notes Activity
As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Secured SPA Notes was $5.5 million, compared to $74.2 million as of December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received cash proceeds, net of original issue discounts of $10.7 million in exchange for the issuance of the SPA Notes and incurred approximately $0.2 million in transaction costs. The Company converted debt with a principal amount of $108.8 million into 41,727,089 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The conversion of Secured SPA Notes into Class A Common Stock resulted in a Loss on extinguishment of $126.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $33.9 million gain from fair value remeasurement of Secured SPA Notes under ASC 825, recorded in Change in fair value of notes payable, warrant liabilities, and derivative call options and $5.2 million loss on extinguishment triggered by the Waiver Agreement recorded in Loss on settlement of notes payable in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received cash proceeds, net of original issue discounts of $187.2 million in exchange for the issuance of the SPA Notes and incurred approximately $1.9 million in transaction costs.

The 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes bear an annual interest rate of 10%, increasing to 15%, if interest is paid in shares of Class A Common Stock. Principal and interest are due at maturity, unless converted earlier pursuant to the 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes’ conversion privileges. Issued at a 10% original issue discount, these notes are convertible into the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a lesser of a fixed conversion price or 90% of the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date. The 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes are subject to full ratchet anti-dilution price protection and as of December 31, 2024 the fixed price conversion price was $1.16.

The outstanding 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes, as of December 31, 2024, are scheduled to mature on various dates in 2029 and 2030.
In connection with the issuance of the 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes, the Company also granted to each purchaser a warrant (the “2023 Unsecured SPA Warrants”) to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 33% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the aggregate principal amount under the Secured SPA Notes funded. The 2023 Unsecured SPA Warrants are subject to the same full ratchet anti-dilution price protection as the 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes.

The activity below does not include related party transactions, which are discussed separately in Note 8, Related Party Transactions.
Amendments and Modifications
First Amendment (June 26, 2023): Allowed purchasers to defer commitments if operational milestones were unmet. This amendment did not alter cash flows and resulted in no gain or loss.
Waiver Agreement
The Waiver Agreement dated August 2, 2024, revised the terms of the Secured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes. The terms of the 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes are substantially similar to those of the Secured SPA Notes and were similarly impacted by the Waiver Agreements.

Anti-Dilution Adjustments
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into multiple dilutive stock sale and purchase transactions, that triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protections embedded in the 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Warrants. As a result, the fixed-price conversion price of the 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes and exercise price of the 2023 Unsecured SPA Warrants outstanding prior to such financings was reduced to a price equal to the price per share paid in the dilutive financings.
On September 5, 2024, the Company entered into the Junior Secured SPA, which triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Warrants. The issuance of the Junior Secured SPA Notes constituted a dilutive issuance, as the stated conversion price of $5.24 was less than the 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Warrant exercise price.
On December 21, 2024, the Company entered into the 2024 Unsecured SPA Notes, which triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection in the 2023 Unsecured SPA Notes and 2023 Unsecured SPA Warrant.
