Prior to the Notes Amendment, the maturity date of the Original Convertible Notes was April 1, 2027. The Original Convertible Notes were sold in a private placement in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act . The net proceeds from the sale of the Original Convertible Notes were approximately $294.0 million after deducting initial purchaser discounts and commissions and the Company’s offering expenses. The debt discount and issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, are reported as a direct deduction from the face amount of the Original Convertible Notes. The Company expects to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. Prior to the Notes Amendment, the Original Convertible Notes bore interest at 3.50% per annum, to the extent paid in cash (“Cash Interest”), or 5.00% per annum, to the extent paid in kind through the issuance of additional Original Convertible Notes (“PIK Interest”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each year, beginning on October 1, 2022. The Company can elect to make any interest payment through Cash Interest, PIK Interest or any combination thereof. The Original Convertible Notes are convertible, based on the applicable conversion rate, into cash, shares of the Company’s Common Stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The initial conversion rate was 41.6119 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Original Convertible Notes, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment in certain circumstances, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $24.03 per share. Under the terms of the Original Convertible Notes, prior to January 1, 2027, the Original Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon the occurrence of specified events and during certain periods, and will be convertible on or after January 1, 2027, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Original Convertible Notes. Holders of the Original Convertible Notes may convert all or a portion of their Original Convertible Notes prior to the close of business on January 1, 2027, only under the following circumstances: • during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on September 30, 2022, if the Company’s closing Common Stock price for at least 20 trading days out of the most recent 30 consecutive trading days of the preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the current conversion price of the Original Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day; • during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading days in which, if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Original Convertible Notes for each trading day of such ten consecutive trading day period is less than 98% of the product of the Company’s closing Common Stock price and the conversion rate of the Original Convertible Notes on each such trading day; • if the Company calls the Original Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or • upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, including certain distributions, the occurrence of a fundamental change or a transaction resulting in the Company’s Common Stock converting into other securities or property or assets. The Original Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time on or after April 21, 2025, and before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The redemption price will be equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Original Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, a holder may elect to convert its Original Convertible Notes during any such redemption period, in which case the applicable conversion rate may be increased in certain circumstances if the Original Convertible Notes are converted after they are called for redemption. Additionally, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change or a change in control transaction (each such term as defined in the indenture governing the Original Convertible Notes), subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to purchase for cash all or any portion of their Original Convertible Notes. The fundamental change repurchase price will be 100% of the capitalized principal amount of the Original Convertible Notes, while the change in control repurchase price will be 125% of the capitalized principal amount of the Original Convertible Notes to be purchased, in each case plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. The indenture governing the Original Convertible Notes includes a restrictive covenant that, subject to specified exceptions, limits the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur secured debt in excess of $750.0 million. In addition, the indenture governing the Original Convertible Notes contains customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default in which case either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Original Convertible Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Original Convertible Notes to be due and payable immediately. On October 24, 2023, the Original Convertible Notes were amended to (1) extend the maturity date from April 1, 2027 to April 1, 2028, (2) increase the Cash Interest rate to 7.0% from 3.5% and PIK Interest rate to 8.5% from 5.0%, (3) increase the initial conversion rate to 83.333 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes from 41.6119 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes, which represented a revised initial conversion price of approximately $12.00 per share, and (4) revise the make-whole table to reflect the revised terms of the convertible notes (herein, “2028 Convertible Notes”). Other than those previously stated, the terms of the 2028 Convertible Notes are not substantially different from the terms of Original Convertible Notes. The Company assessed the Notes Amendment for a debt extinguishment or modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments . As both the change in net present value of future cash flows of the 2028 Convertible Notes to that of the Original Convertible Notes and the change in fair value of the embedded conversion option of the 2028 Convertible Notes to that of the carrying value of the Original Convertible Notes immediately before modification resulted in a less than 10% change, the amendment is regarded as a modification. The resulting increase in fair value of the embedded conversion option is recorded as an increase in debt discount, a contra-liability account, as well as the corresponding entry to additional paid-in-capital, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Legal fees and other costs incurred with third parties that were directly related to the debt modification were expensed as incurred. As of April 30, 2024, the effective interest rate on the 2028 Convertible Notes was approximately 8.59%. Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs is reported as a component of interest expenses and is computed using the straight-line method over the term of the 2028 Convertible Notes, which approximates the effective interest method. The estimated fair value of the 2028 Convertible Notes, valued using Level 2 fair value inputs, as of April 30, 2024 and January 31, 2024 was $197.0 million and $211.0 million, respectively. 2027 Revolving Credit Facility On July 27, 2023, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement by and among the Company, ChargePoint, Inc. (the “Borrower”), certain subsidiaries of the Borrower as guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for senior secured revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, with a maturity date of January 1, 2027 (the “2027 Revolving Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may from time to time arrange for one or more increases in the commitments under the 2027 Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150.0 million, subject to obtaining the consent of the lenders participating in any such increase. Up to $100.0 million of the 2027 Revolving Credit Facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. The obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and secured by a first priority pledge of the equity securities of the Borrower and certain of its subsidiaries and first priority security interests in substantially all tangible and intangible personal property, including intellectual property, of the Company, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to customary exceptions and limitations. The Credit Agreement contains negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company, the Borrower and its subsidiaries, as applicable, to incur additional indebtedness, incur additional liens, make investments or acquisitions, make dividends, distributions, or other restricted payments, dispose of property, and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain dollar baskets and customary carveouts, as well as customary events of default. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Borrower to comply with a minimum total liquidity covenant to be not less than 150% of the aggregate amount of the lender’s commitment under the Credit Agreement (“Total Liquidity”) which requires the Borrower to maintain, at all times, Total Liquidity equal to the sum of cash and cash equivalents held by the Borrower and the other loan parties at controlled accounts with the initial lenders under the Credit Agreement plus the aggregate unused amount of the commitments then available to be drawn under the 2027 Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the 2027 Revolving Credit Facility may be denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, or Pound Sterling. At the Company’s option, borrowings may bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (a) an alternate base rate (for borrowings in U.S. dollars) plus a rate per annum of 1.75%, (b) an adjusted SOFR term rate (for borrowings in U.S. dollars) plus a rate per annum of 2.75%, (c) an adjusted EURIBOR rate (for borrowings in Euros) plus a rate per annum of 2.75%, or (d) a daily simple “risk-free” rate (for borrowings in Pounds Sterling) plus a rate per annum of 2.75%. The Company will pay commitment fees on the average daily unused amount of the 2027 Revolving Credit Facility at a rate per annum of 0.40%. In addition, the Company will also pay participation fees on the average daily undrawn amount of outstanding letters of credit at a rate per annum of 2.25%. In October 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the Company to complete the Notes Amendment (as described above). As of April 30, 2024, the Borrower had no borrowings outstanding under the 2027 Revolving Credit Facility. The Borrower also had no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of April 30, 2024, and as a result, had a borrowing capacity of up to $150.0 million. |
