Explanatory Note

 

Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders

 

On May 3, 2024, Lilium N.V. (“Lilium” or the “Company”) made available to its shareholders a convocation notice and other materials related to the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), which are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 to 99.4 to this Report on Form 6-K. The Extraordinary General Meeting is expected to be held on Thursday, May 30, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. CEST (8:00 a.m. EDT) at the offices of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, Strawinskylaan 10, 1077 XZ Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

 

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”). Pursuant to the SEPA, assuming satisfaction of certain conditions and subject to the limitations set forth in the SEPA, the Company has the right from time to time, but not the obligation, to issue and sell to Yorkville up to $150.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”) of its class A ordinary shares, nominal value €0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares” and, such Ordinary Shares comprising the Commitment Amount together with Ordinary Shares issued to Yorkville in satisfaction of an upfront commitment fee, the “SEPA Shares”) until the earlier of May 3, 2027 or the date on which the facility has been fully utilized or otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the SEPA, the Company may require Yorkville to purchase Ordinary Shares under the SEPA (an “Advance”) by delivering a written request for such sale (an “Advance Notice”) to Yorkville. While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, an Advance may not exceed such amount as is equal to 100% of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s Ordinary Shares during the five Trading Days immediately prior to the date the Company requests an Advance. Each Advance is subject to certain limitations, including that Yorkville cannot purchase any Ordinary Shares that would result in it beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s then outstanding voting power or the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at the time of an Advance. The timing, frequency, and price at which the Company issues Ordinary Shares are subject to market prices and management’s decision (if any) to sell Ordinary Shares.

 

Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company also agreed to pay Yorkville a commitment fee of 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Commitment Fee”) and has paid to Yorkville a structuring fee in the amount of $25,000.

 

The Company is not obligated to utilize any of the $150.0 million available under the SEPA and there are no minimum commitments or minimum use penalties. The total amount of funds that ultimately can be raised under the SEPA over the three-year term will depend on the market price for the Ordinary Shares and the number of Ordinary Shares actually sold. The SEPA does not impose any restrictions on the Company’s operating activities.

 

Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company is required to register the SEPA Shares eligible to be resold pursuant to the SEPA. The Company, in its sole discretion, may choose when to file a registration statement registering the SEPA Shares for resale by Yorkville; provided, however, the Company will not be able to request any Advances until the registration statement becomes effective.

 

The offer and sale of the SEPA Shares to be issued pursuant to the SEPA are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. This Report on Form 6-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the SEPA Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

 

The description of the SEPA set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that document, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5.
