2029 Notes
On December 6, 2024, indie completed a private offering of 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2029 Initial Notes”). The Notes were sold under a purchase agreement (the “2029 Notes Purchase Agreement”), dated as of December 3, 2024, entered into by and between the Company and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representative of the several initial purchasers named therein (collectively the “2029 Notes Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell $190,000 aggregate principal amount of the “2029 Initial Notes. The Company also agreed to grant an option, during a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued (the “2029 Notes Option”) to the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers to purchase all or part of an additional $28,500 aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Additional Notes” and, together with the 2029 Initial Notes, the “2029 Notes”). On December 5, 2024, the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers exercised the 2029 Notes Option in full, bringing the total aggregate principal amount for the 2029 Notes to $218,500.
On December 3, 2024, in connection with the pricing of the 2029 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2029 Notes Base Capped Call Transactions”) with each of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, through its agent Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Mizuho Markets Americas LLC, with Mizuho Securities USA LLC acting as agent, Royal Bank of Canada, represented by RBC Capital Markets, LLC as its agent, The Bank of Nova Scotia, UBS AG, London Branch, represented by UBS Securities LLC as its agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “2029 Option Counterparties”). In addition, on December 5, 2024, in connection with the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers’ exercise of the 2029 Notes Option in full, the Company entered into additional capped call transactions (the “2029 Notes Additional Capped Call Transactions” and, together with the 2029 Notes Base Capped Call Transactions, the “2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions”) with each of the 2029 Notes Option Counterparties. The 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2029 Notes, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that initially underlie the 2029 Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2029 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company may be required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2029 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap, based on the cap price of the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions. The cap price of the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions is initially $8.06 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 3, 2024. The cost of the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions was $23,380. The Company recorded the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions as separate transactions from the issuance of the 2029 Notes. The cost of $23,380 incurred to purchase the 2029 Notes Capped Call Transactions was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024.
The 2029 Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 194.6188 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $5.14 per share of Class A common stock. The initial conversion price of the 2029 Notes represents a premium of approximately 27.50% over the $4.03 per share last reported sale price of the Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 3, 2024. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest, except under the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, dated as of December 6, 2024, between indie and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “2024 Indenture”). In addition, upon the occurrence of a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in Section 1.01 of the 2024 Indenture) prior to the maturity date, or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of Class A common stock (not to exceed 248.1399 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as
the conversion rate) for 2029 Notes that are converted in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or for notes called (or deemed called) for redemption that are converted in connection with such notice of redemption.
The 2029 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders (in whole or in part) at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2029 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock, as determined by the Company, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the business day period after any consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “Trading Price” (as defined in Section 1.01 of the 2024 Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such 2029 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date, but only with respect to the 2029 Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events as specified in the 2024 Indenture. On or after September 15, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2029 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, in amounts determined in the manner set forth in the 2024 Indenture.
The 2029 Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to December 20, 2027. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2029 Notes (subject to a partial redemption limitation), at the Company’s option, on or after December 20, 2027 if the last reported sale price of the common stock, as determined by the Company, has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company redeems fewer than all the outstanding 2029 Notes, at least $50,000 aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2029 Notes.
The 2029 Notes have been recorded as long-term debt in its entirety pursuant to ASU 2020-06. The carrying value of the 2029 Notes is presented net of $8,967 of discount and issuance costs, which are amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of these borrowings. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total carrying value of the 2029 Notes, net of unamortized discount, was $211,277 and $209,643, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the total fair value of the 2029 Notes was $227,087 or approximately 104% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes. As of December 31, 2024, the total fair value of the 2029 Notes was $228,333 or approximately 105% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes. The estimated fair values are based on Level 2 inputs as the fair value is based on quoted prices for the Company’s debt and comparable instruments in inactive markets. The amortization of the debt discount and cost of issuance resulted in non-cash interest expense of $1,634 and $109 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in Interest Expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
2027 Notes
On November 16, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers (collectively the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell $140,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Initial Notes”). The Company also agreed to grant an option, exercisable within the 30-day period immediately following the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Option”) to the Initial Purchasers to purchase all or part of an additional $20,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Additional Notes” and, together with the Initial Notes, the “2027 Notes”). On November 17, 2022, the Initial Purchasers exercised the Option in full, bringing the total aggregate principal amount for the 2027 Notes to $160,000. The sale of the 2027 Notes closed on November 21, 2022. The 2027 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated November 21, 2022 (the “2022 Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Interest on the 2027 Notes is payable
semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2023. The 2027 Notes will mature on November 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.
The 2027 Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 115.5869 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.65 per share of Class A common stock. The initial conversion price of the 2027 Notes represents a premium of approximately 30% over the $6.655 per share last reported sale price of the Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on November 16, 2022. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest, except under the limited circumstances described in the 2022 Indenture. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in Section 1.01 of the 2022 Indenture) prior to the maturity date, or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of Class A common stock (not to exceed 150.2629 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate) for 2027 Notes that are converted in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or for notes called (or deemed called) for redemption that are converted in connection with such notice of redemption.
The 2027 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders (in whole or in part) at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2027 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the business day period after any consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “Trading Price” (as defined in Section 1.01 of the 2022 Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Class A common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such 2027 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the 2027 Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events as specified in the 2022 Indenture. On or after August 15, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2027 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at the Company’s election, in amounts determined in the manner set forth in the 2022 Indenture.
The Company may not redeem the 2027 Notes prior to November 20, 2025. indie may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2027 Notes, at indie’s option, on or after November 20, 2025 if the last reported price of indie’s Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which indie provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Upon the occurrence of a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in Section 1.01 of the 2022 Indenture), subject to certain conditions and certain limited exceptions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2027 Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a fundamental change repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The 2027 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank: (i) senior in right of payment to any indebtedness of the Company that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2027 Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment to any unsecured indebtedness of the Company that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively junior in right of payment to any senior, secured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The 2027 Notes have been recorded as long-term debt in its entirety pursuant to ASU 2020-06. The carrying value of the 2027 Notes is presented net of $5,374 of discount and issuance costs, which are amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of these borrowings. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total carrying value of the 2027 Notes, net of unamortized discount, was $128,248 and $156,738, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the total fair value of the 2027 Notes was $124,982 or approximately 96% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes. As of December 31, 2024, the total fair value of the 2027 Notes was $146,416 or approximately 92% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes. The estimated fair values are based on Level 2 inputs as the fair value is based on quoted prices for the Company’s debt and comparable instruments in inactive markets. The amortization of the debt discount and cost of issuance resulted in non-cash interest expense of $1,050, $1,026, and $970 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and is included in Interest Expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, in connection with the offering of the 2027 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated transactions through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate to repurchase 1,112,524 shares of Class A common stock, at an average cost of $6.65 per share, for approximately $7,404.
In June 2025, the Company entered into several separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements to repurchase $30,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes at a discount. In addition to the repurchased principal, the total repurchase price of $26,844 also included transaction-related professional fees of $158. The repurchase was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2,623, which included the accelerated recognition of unamortized issuance cost and debt discount affiliated with the repurchased principal of $515. This gain was recorded as Gain from extinguishment of debt in the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. Concurrent with the repurchase, the Company repaid $143 of accrued interest associated with the repurchased principal. The repurchase of the 2027 Notes and repayment of accrued interest were funded by the Company's on-hand cash. Upon completion of this repurchase, $130,000 principal amount of the 2027 Notes remains outstanding.
indie Semiconductor Revolving Line of Credit
On March 29, 2024, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) with a credit limit of $10,000, bearing interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.75%. The outstanding principal balance was due and payable in full on March 28, 2025. This revolving line of credit was renewed on March 29, 2025, and the outstanding principal balance is due and payable in full on March 27, 2026. Interest is payable monthly beginning on May 1, 2025 through the maturity date. This line of credit required the Company to collateralize a cash balance equal to the total outstanding balance in a cash security account with Wells Fargo, which resulted in total restricted cash of $10,000 as of December 31, 2025. Fees of $50 incurred will be amortized over the life of the credit agreement. This revolving line of credit had an outstanding balance of $10,000 as of December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $581 in interest expense, which represented a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.8% and the non-cash interest was de minimus. During the year ended December 31, 2024, both cash and non-cash interest expense were de minimus.
indie Canada Revolving Credit
In connection with the acquisition of indie Canada on October 12, 2021, the Company assumed a revolving credit with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”) with a credit limit of CAD9,440 bearing interest at prime rate plus 0.25%, repayable in monthly installments of CAD155 plus interest, maturing in October 2026. The repayment of monthly installments reduces the credit limit over time. CIBC also reserves the right to request full repayment of a portion or all outstanding balances at any time. At December 31, 2025
and 2024, the outstanding principal balance of the loan was $1,129 and $2,368 (or CAD 1,548 and CAD 3,405), respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, both cash and non-cash interest expense were de minimus.
indie Canada also has an authorized credit facility up to CAD6,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, from CIBC, bearing interest at prime rate plus 0.25%. The credit facility permits the Company to request incremental loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of an amount equal to the greater of $6,000. This line of credit had an outstanding balance of $2,453 and $2,583 (or CAD 3,363 and CAD 3,713) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, both cash and non-cash interest expense were de minimus.
Wuxi Revolving Line of Credit
On September 27, 2024, Wuxi entered into a short-term loan agreement with the Bank of Ningbo Co., Ltd. with an aggregate principal balance of CNY40,000 (or approximately $5,705) bearing interest of 3.50% per annum and maturing on December 27, 2024. This short-term loan was fully paid on December 27, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the cash and non-cash interest were individually and in the aggregate de minimus.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
