2029 Notes

On December 6, 2024, indie completed a private offering of 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2029 Initial Notes”). The Notes were sold under a purchase agreement (the “2029 Notes Purchase Agreement”), dated as of December 3, 2024, entered into by and between the Company and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representative of the several initial purchasers named therein (collectively the “2029 Notes Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell $190,000 aggregate principal amount of the “2029 Initial Notes. The Company also agreed to grant an option, during a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued (the “2029 Notes Option”) to the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers to purchase all or part of an additional $28,500 aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Additional Notes” and, together with the 2029 Initial Notes, the “2029 Notes”). On December 5, 2024, the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers exercised the 2029 Notes Option in full, bringing the total aggregate principal amount for the 2029 Notes to $218,500.

On December 3, 2024, in connection with the pricing of the 2029 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2029 Notes Base Capped Call Transactions”) with each of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, through its agent Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Mizuho Markets Americas LLC, with Mizuho Securities USA LLC acting as agent, Royal Bank of Canada, represented by RBC Capital Markets, LLC as its agent, The Bank of Nova Scotia, UBS AG, London Branch, represented by UBS Securities LLC as its agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “2029 Option Counterparties”). In addition, on December 5, 2024, in connection with the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers’ exercise of the Option in full, the Company entered into additional capped call transactions (the “2029 Notes Additional Capped Call Transactions” and, together with the 2029 Notes Base Capped Call Transactions, the “2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions”) with each of the 2029 Notes Option Counterparties. The 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2029 Notes, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that initially underlie the 2029 Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2029 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company may be required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2029 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap, based on the cap price of the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions. The cap price of the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions is initially $8.06 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 3, 2024. The cost of the 2029
Notes Capped Call Transactions was $23,380. The Company recorded the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions as separate transactions from the issuance of the 2029 Notes. The cost of $23,380 incurred to purchase the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024.

The 2029 Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 194.6188 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.14 per share of Class A common stock. The initial conversion price of the 2029 Notes represents a premium of approximately 27.50% over the $4.03 per share last reported sale price of the Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 3, 2024. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest, except under the limited circumstances described in the Indenture. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in Section 1.01 of the Indenture) prior to the maturity date, or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of Class A common stock (not to exceed 248.1399 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate) for 2029 Notes that are converted in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or for notes called (or deemed called) for redemption that are converted in connection with such notice of redemption.

The 2029 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders (in whole or in part) at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2029 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock, as determined by the Company, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “Trading Price” (as defined in Section 1.01 of the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such 2029 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date, but only with respect to the 2029 Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events as specified in the Indenture. On or after September 15, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2029 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, in amounts determined in the manner set forth in the Indenture.

The 2029 Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to December 20, 2027. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2029 Notes (subject to a partial redemption limitation), at the Company’s option, on or after December 20, 2027 if the last reported sale price of the common stock, as determined by the Company, has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company redeems fewer than all the outstanding 2029 Notes, at least $50,000 aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2029 Notes.

The 2029 Notes have been recorded as long-term debt in its entirety pursuant to ASU 2020-06. The carrying value of the 2029 Notes is presented net of $8,967 of discount and issuance costs, which are amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of these borrowings. As of December 31, 2024, the total carrying value of the 2029 Notes, net of unamortized discount, was $209,643. As of December 31, 2024, the total fair value of the 2029 Notes was $228,333 or 104.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes. The estimated fair values are based on Level 2 inputs as the fair value is based on quoted prices for the Company’s debt and comparable instruments in inactive markets. The amortization of the debt discount and cost of issuance resulted in non-cash interest expense of $109 for the year ended December 31, 2024, and is included in Interest Expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
2027 Notes
On November 16, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers (collectively the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell $140,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Initial Notes”). The Company also agreed to grant an option, exercisable within the 30-day period immediately following the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Option”) to the Initial Purchasers to purchase all or part of an additional $20,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Additional Notes” and, together with the Initial Notes, the “2027 Notes”). On November 17, 2022, the Initial Purchasers exercised the Option in full, bringing the total aggregate principal amount for the 2027 Notes to $160,000. The sale of the 2027 Notes closed on November 21, 2022.

The 2027 Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 115.5869 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.65 per share of Class A common stock.
