Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 20, 2023, Bloom Energy Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its certain Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) and Investor Agreement (as amended, the “Investor Agreement”), each with SK ecoplant Co., Ltd. (“SK ecoplant”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold to SK ecoplant 13,491,701 shares of non-voting redeemable convertible Series B preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “RCPS”), at a purchase price of $23.05 per share or an aggregate purchase price of approximately $311 million (the “Secondary Investment”). The closing of the Secondary Investment (the “Second Closing”) will occur on or before March 24, 2023. The holder of the RCPS may convert the RCPS at any time into Class A Common Stock, provided that the RCPS shall automatically be converted into Class A Common Stock on the six month anniversary of the Second Closing. The RCPS will have a liquidation preference over the Company’s common stock and will only be redeemable at the option of the holders of the RCPS. The RCPS will not have any voting rights nor entitle the holder to receive dividends. Upon payment of the RCPS by SK ecoplant, SK ecoplant directed the Company to issue the RCPS to Econovation, LLC (“Econovation”), an affiliated entity of SK ecoplant of which SK ecoplant is the managing member, formed for the sole purpose of holding the Company shares. The Investor Agreement provides for certain rights and restrictions relating to the Secondary Investment as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 25, 2021. A Certificate of Designation of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) that sets forth the terms, rights and obligations of the RCPS will be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
On March 20, 2023, the Company also entered into a Shareholder’s Loan Agreement with SK ecoplant (the “Loan Agreement”), which provides that if at any time prior to the conversion of the RCPS, SK ecoplant provides a notice of the intention of SK ecoplant or Econovation to hold fewer than 10,000,000 shares or 13,491,701 shares, respectively, and certain other conditions are satisfied, the Company can request a draw down on the loan for up to $310,957,102. The Loan Agreement has a maturity of five years and an interest rate of 4.6%. The proceeds of the Loan Agreement can be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purpose needs.
The foregoing description of the Amendment, the Certificate of Designation and the Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, the Certificate of Designation and the Loan Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
