This strategic financial injection is earmarked to accelerate the development of sustainable and emotionally compelling electric vehicles (EVs), ensuring Fisker remains at the forefront of the EV market evolution.
Key Highlights:

The financial boost is provided by the holder of the company’s 2025-dated convertible notes, divided into four distinct tranches. This arrangement is contingent upon satisfying specific conditions, including the timely filing of Fisker’s 2023 Form 10-K.
In a strategic move to expand its EV portfolio, Fisker is in advanced talks with a prominent automaker to explore potential collaborations. These discussions encompass investments, joint EV platform development, and manufacturing endeavors within North America, aiming to set new benchmarks in the EV industry.
As of March 15, 2024, Fisker has impressively rolled out approximately 1,000 vehicles and delivered around 1,300 units globally, showcasing its robust production capabilities. Notably, Fisker’s US registrations have outperformed traditional giants, with 640 registrations in January alone, securing a top 13 spot among US EV brands.
With an inventory of about 4,700 vehicles, carrying over from 2023 into 2024, Fisker is strategically positioned with assets valued over $200 million. To further streamline operations and align with its strategic objectives, Fisker will temporarily halt production for six weeks starting March 18, 2024.
This strategic financial and operational update is detailed in a Form 8-K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, highlighting Fisker’s unwavering commitment to driving sustainable mobility and ensuring its competitive edge in the dynamic EV market.
