The company entered an amendment to its securities purchase agreement and on June 5, 2026 issued a Third Note with $2.0 million principal, receiving gross proceeds of $1.84 million.

The amendment also provides for a potential Fourth Note with $11.0 million principal, to be issued after the resale registration statement for shares underlying the Third and Fourth Notes is effective and Nasdaq confirms the company meets all continued listing requirements.

Insights

Robo.ai adds $2M of convertible debt and sets terms for a larger follow-on tranche.

Robo.ai Inc. is using a senior convertible note facility of up to $80.0 million to raise funding. The June 5, 2026 amendment triggered issuance of a Third Note with $2.0 million principal for $1.84 million in gross proceeds, modestly increasing leverage while preserving overall facility capacity.

The amendment also sets conditions for a Fourth Note with $11.0 million principal, contingent on effectiveness of a resale registration statement and confirmation that Nasdaq continued listing requirements are satisfied. These conditions link additional funding to both regulatory clearance and exchange compliance.

From an investor perspective, the filing clarifies near-term financing steps and potential future funding under the same structure. Actual impact on capital structure and dilution will depend on future note conversions into Class B ordinary shares and whether the Fourth Note closes after the specified conditions are met.

Facility size $80.0 million Maximum aggregate principal of senior convertible notes
Third Note principal $2.0 million Issued June 5, 2026 under amended agreement
Third Note gross proceeds $1.84 million Cash received for Third Note issuance
Fourth Note principal $11.0 million Prospective issuance upon meeting specified conditions
Conversion purchase price $920 per $1,000 principal Notes convertible into Class B ordinary shares
senior convertible notes financial
"a new series of senior convertible notes of the Company in an aggregate original principal amount of up to $80.0 million"
A senior convertible note is a loan a company issues that ranks near the top of payment priority and can be exchanged for the company’s stock under preset terms. Think of it as an IOU that promises interest payments and first dibs on repayments if assets are liquidated, but also gives the lender the option to become an owner later; investors watch these for repayment safety, interest income, and potential stock dilution.
Section 4(a)(2) regulatory
"in reliance on the private offering exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act"
Section 4(a)(2) is a part of U.S. securities laws that allows companies to sell their stock directly to certain investors without registering the sale with regulators. This process is often used for private placements, making it easier and faster for companies to raise money from knowledgeable or institutional investors. It matters to investors because it provides an alternative way to buy shares, often with fewer disclosures and lower costs.
Rule 506(b) regulatory
"and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder"
Rule 506(b) is a U.S. securities exemption that lets companies sell shares or debt privately without full public registration, provided sales are primarily to accredited investors, up to 35 non‑accredited but financially knowledgeable buyers, and there is no public advertising or solicitation. It matters to investors because offerings under 506(b) usually include less public disclosure than registered securities—like buying from a private seller rather than a retail store—so buyers must do more of their own fact‑checking and rely on their financial sophistication.
Regulation D regulatory
"and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder"
Regulation D is a set of rules that govern how companies can raise money from investors without going through the full process required for public stock offerings. It provides simplified options for private placements, making it easier for companies to seek investments from a smaller group of investors. For investors, it offers opportunities to invest in private companies, often with fewer restrictions, but also with different levels of risk and disclosure.
registration statement regulatory
"the effective date of the registration statement covering the resale of all of the Class B Ordinary Shares"
A registration statement is a formal document that companies file with a government agency to offer new shares of stock to the public. It provides essential information about the company's finances, operations, and risks, helping investors make informed decisions. Think of it as a detailed product description that ensures transparency and trust before buying into a company.
continued listing requirements regulatory
"written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that the Company is in compliance with all continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq"
Rules a stock exchange sets that a publicly traded company must keep meeting to stay listed and tradable on that exchange, such as minimum share price, market value, timely financial reports, and basic governance practices. Like a club’s membership rules, they matter because falling short can lead to warnings, penalties or removal from the exchange, which can cut liquidity, hurt share value and increase the risk for investors.

Entry into Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement for Convertible Note Facility and Issuance of Third Note

 

As previously reported, on December 10, 2025, Robo.ai Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), entered into that certain securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investor (the “Note Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Note Investor agreed to purchase, in multiple closings, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, a new series of senior convertible notes of the Company in an aggregate original principal amount of up to $80.0 million (the “Notes”), which Notes are convertible into the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.002 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), at a purchase price of $920 per $1,000 of principal amount.

 

On June 5, 2026, the Company and the Note Investor entered into an amendment (the “SPA Amendment”) to the Securities Purchase Agreement to revise the principal amount of, and closing conditions for, the issuance of the Third Note (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and to add the issuance of an additional specified principal amount of Notes upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (such Note, the “Fourth Note”) as described herein.

 

Pursuant to the SPA Amendment, on June 5, 2026, the Company issued the Third Note in the principal amount of $2.0 million for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.84 million. Also pursuant to the SPA Amendment, the Company and the Note Investor agreed that following (i) the effective date of the registration statement covering the resale of all of the Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Third Note and Fourth Note and (ii) the Company’s receipt of written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) that the Company is in compliance with all continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq, the Company will issue and sell, and the Note Investor will, purchase a Fourth Note in an aggregate principal amount of $11.0 million, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued and sold pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement remains unchanged as a result of the SPA Amendment.

 

The issuance and sale of the Third Note was not, and the issuance and sale of any other Notes and the Class B Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Notes have not been, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and was and will be made in reliance on the private offering exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

The foregoing description of the Third Note and the SPA Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of Third Note and the SPA Amendment, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and incorporated herein by reference.
