Key Financial Metrics and Capital Structure

- Common Stock Offering: 32,525,254 shares of common stock sold at $4.95 per share. This includes 4,242,424 shares from the full exercise of the over-allotment option.
- Total Net Proceeds: Approximately $304.2 million combined, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and estimated offering expenses.
- Debt Terms: The Convertible Notes bear interest at 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually starting June 1, 2026. They mature on December 1, 2030.
- Conversion Terms: Initial conversion rate is 144.3001 shares per $1,000 principal amount (approx. $6.93 per share), representing a ~40% premium over the common stock offering price.
Material Changes and Use of Proceeds
The primary material change is the significant increase in liquidity and debt obligations resulting from the Offerings. The company intends to use the net proceeds for the following purposes:
- Progressing efforts to become compliant with foreign entities of concern (FEOC) provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by December 31, 2025, including the repayment of certain indebtedness.
- Working capital, construction, and advancement of infrastructure for the first 2.1 GW phase of the G2_Austin facility.
- General corporate purposes.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Redemption and Repurchase: The Convertible Notes are not redeemable by the company prior to December 6, 2028. Holders may require the company to repurchase the notes at par plus accrued interest if a "fundamental change" occurs. Conversion is generally at the holder's option only in certain circumstances before September 1, 2030.
Risks: The filing notes customary covenants, including cross-acceleration to other indebtedness upon certain events of default. In cases of bankruptcy or insolvency, the principal and accrued interest become immediately due.
