Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders’ EquityWuxi Capital Raise

On November 29, 2022, the Company entered into and closed an agreement with multiple investors in China, including two of the top four Chinese automotive OEMs, that secured a strategic investment (“Wuxi Capital Raise”) through Wuxi indie Microelectronics Ltd. (“Wuxi”), indie’s majority controlled subsidiary. The Wuxi Capital Raise provided Wuxi additional funding of CNY300,000 (approximately $42,000) by issuing 371,160 shares from Wuxi, which represents 16% of Wuxi’s equity at the time of issuance. The funds raised are intended to promote Wuxi’s business development and strengthen its capabilities. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, these investors will subscribe into the 371,160 shares at ¥808.28 per share. As a result, indie’s ownership in Wuxi has reduced from 45% to 38%. As indie continues to control Wuxi’s Board of Directors and has the majority of the voting interests, Wuxi’s financial results will continue to be consolidated with those of ADK LLC and its other wholly-owned subsidiaries. Minority interests held in Wuxi are accounted for as non-controlling interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Among other provisions, this agreement includes certain liquidation preferences for the investors (“Deemed Liquidation Event” or “DLE”) as well as an ability to exchange their Wuxi shares for shares of indie’s Class A common stock in the event Wuxi does not successfully complete a local initial public offering (“IPO”) by December 31, 2027 (the “Conversion”). A Deemed Liquidation Event includes but not limited to (a) a change of control of the Company or its surviving entity in a single, or series of related transactions, or merger, division, reorganization, acquisition, or business integration between the Company and any third parties, excluding any corporate restricting as duly approved pursuant to the AOA; or (b) a sale, transfer or otherwise disposal of the all or substantially all assets of the Company, in a single, or series of related transactions. Upon a DLE prior to IPO, the distribution will be made in cash in order of the liquidation preferences pursuant to the investment agreement for an amount that is the higher of (i) an amount equal to 100% of the applicable original issue price with an annual simple premium of 8% (calculated from the Closing Date to the date of the Liquidation Event), or (ii) an amount equal to the total liquidation proceeds received by the Company or the shareholders (as the case may be) directly in a Liquidation Event, multiplied by the shareholder’s proportionate ownership percentage, plus all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends of such share.

Pursuant to the investment agreement, Wuxi shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the conditions for the IPO and list shares by a Chinese or overseas securities trading institutions and consummate an IPO as early as possible. If Wuxi is unable to consummate an IPO, indie undertakes to exchange the shares issued in this capital raise for indie’s Class A common stock equal to the total capital raised plus a premium of 8% per year (simple interest) between the execution date and December 31, 2027. The total amount is calculated using the exchange rate at the time of the stock exchange and the value of each of Class A common stock is based on the stock price at that time, but the exchange shall not exceed a total of 6,000,000 shares of indie Class A common stock.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 16, 2022, indie’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, from time to time, of up to $50,000 of indie’s Class A common stock and/or warrants to purchase common stock. This is inclusive of any concurrent repurchase of shares of common stock described in Note 7 — Debt, under the 2027 Notes, which allows for a portion of net proceeds to be used to repurchase up to $25,000 of common stock. There were no repurchases of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, there is $42,596 available for future repurchase under the program.
