indie Semiconductor, Inc. (INDI) Announces Proposed Convertible Notes Offering

indie Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ: INDI) today announced that it plans to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $175 million aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “notes”) through a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). indie expects to grant the initial purchasers in the offering an option to purchase, during a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $26.25 million aggregate principal amount of notes.

The final terms of the notes, including the initial conversion rate, interest rate and certain other terms of the notes will be determined at the time of the pricing of the offering. If and when issued, the notes will be senior unsecured obligations of indie, and will be convertible by the holder of the notes into, subject to various conditions, cash, shares of indie’s Class A common stock (“common stock”) or a combination of cash and common stock, at indie’s election. Interest on the notes will be payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2025. The notes will mature on December 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Subject to certain conditions, indie may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at its option, on or after December 20, 2027. If indie redeems fewer than all the outstanding notes, at least $50 million aggregate principal amount of notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date.

In connection with the pricing of the notes, indie expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “capped call transactions”) with one or more of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes, the number of shares of indie’s common stock initially underlying the notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to indie’s common stock upon any conversion of the notes and/or offset any cash payments indie may be required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, indie expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.

indie intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the notes offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions. indie intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include potential acquisitions. However, indie does not have agreements or understandings with respect to any acquisitions at this time.

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to purchase shares of common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to indie’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. These activities could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of indie’s common stock or the notes at that time. In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to indie’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling common stock or other securities of indie in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the notes or, to the extent indie exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions, following any repurchase or redemption of the notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of indie’s common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of holders to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the notes, it could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration that a holder will receive upon conversion of its notes.

The notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, or under any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements. This press release is not an offer to sell, nor is it a solicitation of an offer to buy, these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any state or any jurisdiction. This press release is issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
