Form 10-K Summary 111 Signatures 112 Table of Contents Index to Financial Statements Explanatory Note This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amended Annual Report”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Fisker Inc. (the “Company” or “Fisker”) for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Original Form 10-K”), filed on March 30, 2021, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This Amended Annual Report restates the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Restatement”). A summary of the accounting matters associated with the Restatement are as follows:​​​​​​​ Background The Company has historically accounted for its 18,400,000 public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and 9,360,000 private warrants (the “Private Warrants,” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), issued by Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp. in conjunction with its initial public offering on August 9, 2018, as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit). The accounting treatment was based on the Company’s interpretation and application of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity . The Company evaluated the provisions within the Warrant Agreement, dated August 9, 2018 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between the Company (f/k/a Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp.) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), that arise if future events fundamentally change the ownership or capitalization of the Company, such as a change in control of the entity, or its nationalization. The Company’s evaluation of potential tender offer scenarios and valuation models associated with the repricing of the Warrants concluded that the underlying economic outcomes would be the same across all classes of common stockholders and Warrant holders in the event of a fundamental change such as a tender offer or when determining the fair value of Warrants using variables consistent with the concepts of fixed-for-fixed inputs for an equity option. In the Original Form 10-K, the Company concluded the Warrants satisfied the guidance within ASC 815-40 to permit equity classification, an accounting conclusion consistent with prior years as disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements included in its registration statement on Form S-1, as amended, effective on December 1, 2020. Given the complexity of the analysis, the Company disclosed in the Original Form 10-K, under Item 1A, Risk Factors, the risk that the Company could potentially need to reclassify the Warrants given the potential for an alternative view that the Warrants should be accounted for as a liability and subsequently remeasured through earnings and the corresponding material effect it could have on the Company’s reported financial information. On March 19, 2021, the Company announced that it would redeem all of its outstanding Public Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that were issued under the Warrant Agreement as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), for a redemption price of $0.01 per Public Warrant (the “Redemption Price”), that remain outstanding at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 22, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”). In addition, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, the Company’s board of directors elected to require that, upon delivery of the notice of redemption, all Public Warrants would be exercised only on a “cashless basis.” Accordingly, a holder exercising a Public Warrant was deemed to pay the $11.50 per Public Warrant exercise price by the surrender of 0.5046 of a share of Common Stock that such holder was entitled to receive upon a cash exercise of a Public Warrant. Accordingly, by virtue of the cashless exercise of the Public Warrants, exercising Public Warrant holders received 0.4954 of a share of Common Stock for each Public Warrant surrendered for exercise.
