Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Exchange Agreement
On February 10, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), The RealReal, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into private, separately negotiated debt exchange transactions pursuant to an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain Noteholder Parties (as defined therein), pursuant to which the parties agreed to exchange $183,341,000 in aggregate principal amount of the holders’ 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Exchanged Notes”) for $146,685,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “New Notes”), issued pursuant to the Indenture (as defined below) (the “Exchange Transactions”). The Exchange Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for transactions of this type and described in greater detail in the Exchange Agreement. The Exchange Transactions were consummated on the Effective Date, following the satisfaction of the closing conditions described in the Exchange Agreement. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the Exchange Transactions.
The New Notes were issued in private placement transactions pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including Regulation D and/or Regulation S thereunder, as applicable.
Indenture
On the Effective Date, in connection with the Exchange Transactions, the Company issued $146,685,000 in aggregate principal amount of New Notes pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of the Effective Date (the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The New Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2025; provided that, solely with respect to the interest payment due on August 15, 2025, the New Notes shall bear additional interest at the rate of 1.25% per year from September 1, 2024 to, but excluding, the Effective Date, being paid in consideration for the accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes. The maturity date of the New Notes is February 15, 2031. The initial conversion rate applicable to the New Notes is 95.5795 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of New Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.46 per share). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its New Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
The New Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after February 15, 2028, to, but excluding, February 15, 2030, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock has been at least 120% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day 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 New Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (such a redemption, a “Provisional Redemption” and such price, the “Redemption Price”). Calling any New Note for a Provisional Redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that New Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that New Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. In addition, the New Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after February 15, 2030, at the Redemption Price (such redemption, a “Par Redemption”). A Par Redemption will not constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, and the conversion rate will not be increased in respect of any New Note converted following the Company calling the New Notes for Par Redemption.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2030, the New Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2025 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock 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 fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 125% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five-business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of New Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such New Notes for Provisional Redemption or Par Redemption, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after November 15, 2030, holders may convert all or any portion of their New Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the New Notes will be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock.
