| Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
As previously disclosed, on February 7, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Getaround, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the orderly wind-down of the Company’s business operations in the United States, which includes its car-share and HyreCar businesses, with the Company’s European business continuing to operate to provide car-sharing services for customers in its European markets.
Sale of European Business
On April 8, 2026, Getaround Operations LLC and Getaround Holdings B.V. (together, the “Sellers”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a letter agreement with GoMore ApS (“GoMore”) providing the Sellers with an option to enter into a share sale and purchase agreement (the “SPA”) by and among the Sellers and GoMore, pursuant to which GoMore would acquire the Company’s European business through the purchase of the equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries, including Getaround SAS and Getaround Norway AS, that own and operate the Company’s European business (collectively, the “Targets”).
Under the terms of the GoMore letter agreement, the Sellers were obligated to commence consultation with the social and economic council of Getaround SAS in accordance with the French Labour Code, with the goal of obtaining an opinion from the council with respect to the contemplated transaction. In addition, the entry into the SPA was contingent on GoMore having entered into a binding financing agreement for the contemplated transaction.
On April 22, 2026, after the council opinion was obtained (or deemed to have been obtained in accordance with French law) and the GoMore financing secured, the Sellers and GoMore entered into the SPA in substantially the form contemplated at the time that the GoMore letter agreement was executed and consummated the transaction effective as of April 30, 2026.
Under the terms of the SPA, GoMore acquired all of the equity interests of the Targets for a purchase price of approximately 31.5 million euros, consisting of cash and a non-interest-bearing promissory note, which promissory note is subject to reduction for early prepayment. In addition, the SPA provides for potential additional consideration of up to 2.3 million euros of receivables to the extent collected by GoMore and its subsidiaries in respect of certain research tax credits under French law (together with the foregoing cash and promissory note consideration, the “Consideration”). The SPA further provides for indemnification by the Sellers with respect to their representations, subject, in general, to customary minimum and maximum thresholds, which claims, if any, would reduce the total outstanding amount of indebtedness under the promissory note.
Mudrick Letter Agreement
In connection with the entry into the GoMore letter agreement, effective on April 8, 2026, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Mudrick Capital Management L.P. (“Mudrick”), on behalf of the holders of the Company’s senior secured indebtedness, pursuant to which, among other things, in accordance with Section 272(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), Mudrick agreed to the proposed sale of the European business to GoMore in lieu of exercising its rights and remedies under the Company’s then-outstanding super priority secured promissory note (the “Prior SPN”). In exchange for receiving the Consideration from the sale of the European business, Mudrick agreed to deem the Prior SPN satisfied in full, canceling all remaining obligations outstanding under the Prior SPN upon the closing of the GoMore transaction and resulting in an aggregate reduction of approximately $121.7 million of the Company’s outstanding senior secured indebtedness secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. Mudrick further agreed, if requested by the Company, and subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, to convert a portion of the Company’s outstanding 8.00% / 9.50% Convertible Senior Secured PIK Toggle Notes due 2027 (the “Convertible Notes”), of which $239.8 million aggregate principal amount was outstanding as of April 30, 2026, into shares of the Company’s common stock to support the Company’s orderly dissolution in accordance with Section 275 et seq. of the DGCL. If such request by the Company is made, Mudrick intends to vote in favor of such dissolution.
Mudrick Super Priority Secured Promissory Note
In connection with the entry into the Mudrick letter agreement described above, Mudrick also agreed to provide the Company with up to $3.0 million in funding, subject to certain conditions, for the Company’s wind-down pursuant to a new super priority secured promissory note, which note was issued on April 30, 2026, concurrent with the closing of the GoMore transaction (the “New SPN”), of which the Company initially drew $0.5 million on the date of the New SPN.
The New SPN accrues interest monthly beginning on April 30, 2026, at a rate of 15.00% per annum, which interest rate, upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default (as defined therein), will be increased by 2.00%. The New SPN will mature on April 30, 2027. The Company may prepay the New SPN at any time prior to its maturity date and must prepay the balance of the New SPN with 100% of the net proceeds of any sale or similar disposition of property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or upon demand and/or termination of the New SPN by Mudrick upon an Event of Default.
