Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Luminar Technologies, Inc. has filed a Third Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and related Disclosure Statement after the Bankruptcy Court approved the disclosure for solicitation. The plan calls for liquidating remaining assets and distributing proceeds to creditors under a global settlement with secured noteholders and the unsecured creditors’ committee.

The court’s order authorizes Luminar and its subsidiaries to solicit creditor votes on the plan, but confirmation is not assured. Luminar cautions that trading in its securities during the Chapter 11 process is highly speculative and states it expects existing equityholders to experience a complete loss upon approval and implementation of the plan.

Positive

None.

Negative

Equity expected to be wiped out: Luminar states it expects its equityholders will experience a complete loss on their investment upon approval and implementation of the Third Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation.
Company proceeding to full liquidation: The Third Amended Plan provides for liquidation of the Debtors’ remaining assets and a wind-down process, confirming that Luminar is not pursuing reorganization but an orderly shutdown.

Insights

Luminar is advancing a liquidation plan that is expected to wipe out existing equity while prioritizing creditor recoveries.

Luminar Technologies is in Chapter 11 with cases jointly administered in the Southern District of Texas. The company has negotiated a global settlement with secured noteholders and the official unsecured creditors’ committee and has filed a Third Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement.

The Bankruptcy Court has approved the Disclosure Statement for solicitation, authorizing Luminar to seek creditor votes on the plan. The plan establishes a liquidation trust, multiple claim classes, and a waterfall structure for distributing asset-sale proceeds, including to first-lien, second-lien, and general unsecured creditors.

The company explicitly warns that its securities are highly speculative during the cases and that equityholders are expected to suffer a complete loss once the plan is approved and implemented. Actual outcomes still depend on creditor voting and final court confirmation, as well as execution of the liquidation and wind-down steps described.

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, Luminar Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on December 15, 2025 and December 31, 2025, thereby commencing chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under Case No. 25-90807 (CML).

On December 30, 2025, January 29, 2026, February 17, 2026, and February 18, 2026, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court proposed versions of the Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Luminar Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors and related disclosure statement.

On February 18, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court held a hearing to consider approval of the proposed disclosure statement and thereafter entered an order (the “Order”) with respect thereto.

Following entry of the Order, on February 18, 2026, the Debtors filed the solicitation version of the Third Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Luminar Technologies, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors (the “Third Amended Plan”) and a related Disclosure Statement for the Third Amended Plan (the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Order, among other things, authorizes the Debtors to solicit votes to accept or reject the Third Amended Plan.

The Third Amended Plan provides for the liquidation of the Debtors’ remaining assets (the “Liquidation”) and the distribution of the proceeds thereof to its stakeholders. The Disclosure Statement describes, among other things, the Third Amended Plan, the Liquidation, the events leading up to the Chapter 11 Cases, the global settlement reached between the Debtors, an ad hoc group of the Debtors’ secured noteholders, and the official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases, certain events that have occurred or are anticipated to occur during the Chapter 11 Cases, including the anticipated solicitation of votes to approve the Third Amended Plan from certain of the Debtors’ creditors, and certain other aspects of the Liquidation.

Although the Debtors intend to pursue the Liquidation in accordance with the terms set forth in the Third Amended Plan, there can be no assurance that the Third Amended Plan will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court or that the Debtors will be successful in consummating the Liquidation or any other similar transaction on the terms set forth in the Third Amended Plan, on different terms or at all. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Third Amended Plan. Any such solicitation will be made pursuant to and in accordance with the Order and applicable law.

Copies of the Third Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Third Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities

The Company’s securityholders are cautioned that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders thereof in the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities. In particular, the Company expects that its equityholders will experience a complete loss on their investment upon approval and implementation of the Third Amended Plan.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking” statements for purposes of the U.S. federal and state securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, risks attendant to the bankruptcy process, including the Company’s ability to obtain court approval from the Bankruptcy Court with respect to motions or other requests made to the Bankruptcy Court throughout the course of the Chapter 11 Cases, including, without limitation, the Third Amended Plan; the effects of the Chapter 11 Cases, including increased legal and other professional costs necessary to execute the Company’s liquidation, on the Company’s liquidity (including the availability of operating capital during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases); the effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on the interests of various constituents and financial stakeholders; the length of time that the Company will operate under Chapter 11 protection and the continued availability of operating capital during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases; objections to the Company’s liquidation process or other pleadings filed that could protract the Chapter 11 Cases; risks associated with third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases; Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases in general; the Company’s ability to comply with the restrictions imposed by the terms and conditions of its financing arrangements; employee attrition and the Company’s ability to retain senior management and other key personnel due to the distractions and uncertainties; the Company’s ability to maintain relationships with suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties and regulatory authorities as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases; the impact and timing of any cost-savings measures and related local law requirements in various jurisdictions; finalization of the Company’s annual and quarterly financial statements; risks relating to the delisting of the Common Stock from Nasdaq and trading of the Common Stock on the OTC Markets; the impact of litigation and regulatory proceedings; and other factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These risks and uncertainties may cause the Company’s actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance, liquidity or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. For a further list and description of such risks and uncertainties, please refer to the Company’s filings with the SEC that are available at www.sec.gov. The Company cautions you that the list of important factors included in the Company’s SEC filings may not contain all of the material factors that are important to you. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this report may not in fact occur.

All Restructuring Fees and Expenses to be paid on the Effective Date shall be estimated before and as of the Effective Date and such estimates shall be delivered to the Debtors at least three (3) Business Days before the anticipated Effective Date; provided, however, that such estimates shall not be considered an admission or limitation with respect to such Restructuring Fees and Expenses.

(d) Any objections to Professional Fee Claims shall be served and Filed no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after Filing of the final applications for compensation or reimbursement.

ARTICLE V.

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION.

5.1

Plan Settlement.

(a) The Plan is being proposed as a joint plan of liquidation of the Debtors for administrative purposes only and constitutes a separate chapter 11 plan for each Debtor.

(b) As a proposed compromise and settlement of inter-Estate and inter-creditor issues, including those relating to whether the liabilities and assets of the Debtors should be substantively consolidated for distribution purposes under the Plan (the “Plan Settlement”), the following treatment shall apply if the Plan Settlement is accepted and approved:

(i) all Assets of the Debtors shall be consolidated and treated as Liquidation Trust Assets irrespective of which Debtor owns such Assets;

(ii) each General Unsecured Claim against any Debtor shall be deemed a single General Unsecured Claim against, and a single obligation of, the Debtors;

(iii) any General Unsecured Claims on account of a guarantee provided by a Debtor of the obligations of another Debtor shall be treated as eliminated so that any Claim against any Debtor and any Claim based upon a guarantee thereof by any other Debtor shall be treated as one Claim against a single consolidated Estate; and

(iv) any joint or joint and several liability of any of the Debtors relating to a General Unsecured Claim shall be one obligation of the Debtors, and any Claims based upon such joint or joint and several liability shall be treated as one Claim against a single consolidated Estate.

(c) The Plan shall serve as a motion by the Debtors seeking entry of a Bankruptcy Court order approving the Plan Settlement, including the Bankruptcy Court’s findings that the Plan Settlement is (i) in exchange for good and valuable consideration provided by each of the Estates (including, without limitation, performance of the terms of the Plan), and a good faith settlement and compromise of the released claims, (ii) in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and all holders of Claims, (iii) fair, equitable, and reasonable, and (iv) effected after due notice and opportunity for hearing. As a result of the Plan Settlement, each Class 5 General Unsecured Claim shall be treated as against a single consolidated Estate without regard to the separate legal existence of the Debtors. The Plan shall not result in the merger or otherwise affect the separate legal existence of each Debtor, other than with respect to distribution rights under the Plan. The Plan Settlement shall not (other than for purposes related to funding Plan Distributions under the Plan) affect (u) the legal and organizational structure of the Debtors, (v) Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that were entered into during the Chapter 11 Cases or that have been or will be assumed or rejected, (w) any agreements entered into by the Liquidation Trust on or after the Effective Date, (x) the Liquidation Trustee’s ability to subordinate or otherwise challenge Claims on an entity-by-entity basis, (y) any Causes of Action or Avoidance Actions or defenses thereto, which in each case shall survive entry of the Confirmation Order as if there had been no Plan Settlement, and (z) distributions to the Debtors or the Liquidation Trust from any insurance policies or the proceeds thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this section 5.1, the Debtors reserve the right to examine the Claims asserted against the various Debtors and to withdraw the Plan with respect to any particular Debtor. In the event that the Debtors elect to withdraw the Plan with respect to any Debtor prior to the Confirmation Date, the Debtors may proceed to seek confirmation of this Plan as to the remaining Debtors in accordance with section 5.1(b) above.

5.2

Global Settlement.

The Plan incorporates and implements the Global Settlement, a compromise and settlement of numerous issues and disputes between and among (a) the Debtors, (b) the Creditors’ Committee, and (c) Holders of First Lien Noteholder Claims and Holders of Second Lien Noteholder Claims, among others. The Plan shall serve as a motion by the Debtors seeking entry of a Bankruptcy Court order approving the Global Settlement, including the Bankruptcy Court’s findings that the Global Settlement is (i) in exchange for good and valuable consideration provided by each of the Estates (including, without limitation, performance of the terms of the Plan), and a good faith settlement and compromise, (ii) in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and all holders of Claims, (iii) fair, equitable, and reasonable, and (iv) effected after due notice and opportunity for hearing. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute an order authorizing and approving the Global Settlement in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 9019.

5.3

Sources of Consideration for Plan Distribution.

The Debtors and Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, shall fund Plan Distributions under the Plan as set forth herein with the (i) Effective Date Available Cash, (ii) Post Effective Date Available Cash (Non-GUC Reserve Assets), (iii) Post Effective Date Available Cash (GUC Reserve Assets), (iv) Excess Cash, (v) Senior Claims Reserve, (vi) First Lien Reserve, (vii) Second Lien Reserve, (viii) GUC Reserve, (ix) Surplus Wind Down Reserve, and (x) Surplus Senior Claims Reserve.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in the foregoing, the Liquidation Trustee’s pursuit in respect of any Claim or Retained Cause of Action shall be subject in all respects to Article XI of the Plan, and no Releasing Party may pursue any Claim or Retained Cause of Action against any Released Party.

After the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trustee shall, subject to applicable non-bankruptcy law and consistent with the implementation of the Plan, merge, dissolve, liquidate, or take such other similar action with respect to each Debtor (including the cancellation of all Interests in each Estate and the dissolution and liquidation of each non-Debtor Affiliate, each in accordance with the terms of the Plan) and complete the winding up of such Estate as expeditiously as practicable without the necessity for any other or further actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Estate or its shareholders or members, as applicable, or any payments to be made in connection therewith subject to the filing of a certificate of cancellation or a certificate of dissolution, as applicable, with the appropriate Governmental Unit. The Liquidation Trustee may, to the extent required by applicable non-bankruptcy law, maintain a Debtor as a corporate entity in good standing until such time as such Debtor is dissolved or merged out of existence in accordance with the Plan. After (i) all Disputed Claims have been resolved, (ii) all Liquidation Trust Assets have been liquidated, (iii) all distributions from the Liquidation Trust required to be made by the Liquidation Trustee under the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement have been made, and (iv) solely with respect to Debtor Luminar Technologies, Inc., the OFAC License and any and all other OFAC approvals and/or authorizations required by OFAC in connection with the Blocked Parent Interests have been obtained, the Liquidation Trustee shall expeditiously dissolve each Debtor.

(j) Consent Rights. The Liquidation Trustee shall obtain the prior written consent (email being sufficient), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, of (x) the Required Senior Secured Holders, only to the extent that Holders of First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims and Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claims have not received payment in full in Cash on account of such Claims, for (i) any amendment, modification, supplement to, or deployment of funds in excess of, the Wind Down Budget or the Wind Down Reserve and (ii) any amendment, modification, or supplement to the Liquidation Trust Agreement, and (y) before the Effective Date, the Creditors’ Committee, and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board, for any amendment, modification, or supplement to the Liquidation Trust Agreement. The consent rights set forth in this section 5.4(j) are cumulative to those set forth in the Liquidation Trust Agreement. The consent rights provided under this section 5.4(j) shall be exercised in a manner consistent with the purpose of the Liquidation Trust, as set forth in section 5.5(e), and the intended qualification of the Liquidation Trust as a “liquidating trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes as contemplated by section 5.5(v).

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Liquidation Trustee shall take all necessary steps to establish the Liquidation Trust for the benefit of Holders of Claims against the Debtors, including executing the Liquidation Trust Agreement and the Liquidation Trust Transfer Agreement, each of which shall reflect the Global Settlement and which shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Required Senior Secured Holders and the Creditors’ Committee. With respect to actions taken in this section 5.5, the Liquidation Trustee is acting solely in its capacity as trustee of the Liquidation Trust.

(b) Liquidation Trust Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the establishment, obligations, and governance of the Liquidation Trust, the rights, obligations, and duties of the Liquidation Trustee, and the rights of creditors, including consent rights, shall be set forth fully in the Liquidation Trust Agreement, the terms of which shall reflect the Global Settlement and which shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, the Required Senior Secured Holders, and the Creditors’ Committee.

(c) Consent Rights. In the event of a conflict between the consent rights set forth in section 5.4(j) of the Plan on the one hand, and the Liquidation Trust Agreement or any other document on the other, the document containing the broadest consent rights shall control. For the further avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any consent rights set forth in the Liquidation Trust Agreement shall not limit, dilute, or otherwise impair those set forth in section 5.4(j) of the Plan.

(d) Issuance of Parent Debtor Additional Stock to Liquidation Trust.

Upon issuance of the Parent Debtor Additional Stock to the Liquidation Trust, the Liquidation Trust shall be the majority shareholder of Parent Debtor. For the avoidance of doubt, until all Blocked Parent Interests are cancelled in accordance with the terms of section 4.9(b), all Holders of Blocked Parent Interests shall, pursuant to section 11.4 and section 11.5 of the Plan, be enjoined from exercising any rights with respect thereto.

(e) Purpose of Liquidation Trust. The sole purpose of the Liquidation Trust is to implement the Plan on behalf, and for the benefit, of the beneficiaries of the Liquidation Trust, and to serve as a mechanism for liquidating, converting to Cash and distributing the Liquidation Trust Assets in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the liquidating purpose of the Liquidation Trust.

(f) Transfer of Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust. On the Effective Date, all Liquidation Trust Assets shall transfer to, and vest exclusively in, the Liquidation Trust in accordance with the terms set forth herein and the Liquidation Trust Transfer Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent certain Liquidation Trust Assets cannot be transferred to, vested in, and assumed by the Liquidation Trust on such date or otherwise are not available to be so transferred until after such date, such assets shall be automatically, and without further act or deed, transferred to, vested in, or assumed by the Liquidation Trust as soon as reasonably practicable after such date. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no Liquidation Trust Assets shall be used for any purpose other than as contemplated by, and in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement. Such transfer of the Liquidation Trust Assets shall be free and clear of all Claims, Interests, Liens, other encumbrances, and liabilities of any kind.

(g) Funding of the Wind Down Reserve, Senior Claims Reserve, First Lien Reserve, Second Lien Reserve, and GUC Reserve. On the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Debtors shall establish and fund the Wind Down Reserve with the Wind Down Amount and transfer the Wind Down Reserve to the Liquidation Trust to satisfy the Wind Down Budget. On the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Debtors shall establish and fund each of the Senior Claims Reserve, First Lien Reserve, Second Lien Reserve, and the GUC Reserve.

(h) Wind Down Expenses. The Liquidation Trustee and any other Professionals engaged by the Liquidation Trust shall be entitled to reasonable compensation and reimbursement of reasonable costs, expenses, and fees, as provided in the Liquidation Trust Agreement, for (i) services rendered in connection with the Wind Down, (ii) the reconciliation of Senior Claims and Secured Claims, (iii) the administration, monetization, and/or liquidation of remaining Liquidation Trust Assets other than GUC Reserve Assets, and (iv) making Plan Distributions to Holders of Senior Claims, Other Secured Claims, First Lien Noteholder Claims, and Second Lien Noteholder Claims pursuant to Article VII of the Plan.

(i) GUC Reserve Expenses.

Such compensation and reimbursement shall be paid solely from the GUC Reserve Funding Amount in the ordinary course of business, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement.

(j) Interim Distributions to Holders of GUC Liquidation Trust Interests. At any time prior to the completion of the reconciliation of all General Unsecured Claims and the pursuit, abandonment, liquidation and/or monetization of all GUC Reserve Assets, the Liquidation Trustee may, in its reasonable discretion and subject to section 2.2(c) hereof and the approval of the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board, make one or more interim distributions of the GUC Reserve Assets and any proceeds thereof to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of Liquidation Trust Interests; provided that the Liquidation Trustee shall reserve such amounts as it determines are reasonably necessary to satisfy Disputed General Unsecured Claims and the costs and expenses, including taxes, associated with the GUC Reserve.

(k) Administrative Obligations and Assumption of Liabilities. In furtherance of the purposes of the Liquidation Trust, and subject to the Liquidation Trust Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the Liquidation Trust shall expressly (i) assume all liability for (a) all Claims against the Debtors and (b) operating expenses of the Liquidation Trust and (ii) undertake to administer and pay the foregoing with Effective Date Available Cash, Post Effective Date Available Cash (Non-GUC Reserve Assets), Post Effective Date Available Cash (GUC Reserve Assets), funds in the Professional Fee Escrow Account, Excess Cash, the Wind Down Reserve, the Senior Claims Reserve, and the GUC Reserve, each in accordance with the Plan. The Liquidation Trust shall have all defenses, cross-claims, offsets, and recoupments regarding Claims that the Debtors have, or would have had, under applicable law; provided, however, that no such claims, defenses, or rights may be asserted against the Debtors.

(l) Liquidation Trust Oversight Board. The Liquidation Trust Oversight Board shall have the rights and powers relating to the supervision of the Liquidation Trustee with respect to (i) the General Unsecured Claims reconciliation process, (ii) the pursuit, abandonment, monetization, prosecution, adjudication, settlement, resolution or liquidation of GUC Reserve Assets (including, subject to section 9.4 hereof, the enforcement of the terms and coverage under the D&O Policies in respect of any Retained Causes of Action), and (iii) distributions to Holders of General Unsecured Claims pursuant to the Plan, as set forth in the Liquidation Trust Agreement. The authority of the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board shall be exercised in a manner consistent with the purpose of the Liquidation Trust, as set forth in section 5.5(e), and the intended qualification of the Liquidation Trust as a “liquidating trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes as contemplated by section 5.5(v).

(m) Composition of the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board. The Liquidation Trust Oversight Board shall be comprised of three (3) members, each of which shall be selected by the Creditors’ Committee. The composition of the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board shall be set forth in the Plan Supplement. Members of the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board shall serve without compensation; provided, however, that such members shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses, which shall be paid solely from the GUC Reserve Funding Amount in the ordinary course of business.

(n) Governance of the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Liquidation Trust Agreement, decisions of the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board shall be made by majority vote. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any decision of the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board that would materially alter the treatment of the First Lien Noteholder Deficiency Claims or Second Lien Noteholder Deficiency Claims shall require the prior written consent (email being sufficient) of the Required Senior Secured Holders (or a designated representative thereof).

(o) Counsel to the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trust Oversight Board, in its reasonable judgment and without Bankruptcy Court approval, shall have the right to select one law firm to serve as counsel to the Liquidation Trust, which firm shall be reasonably acceptable to the Liquidation Trustee, subject to the provisions of the Liquidation Trust Agreement. The Liquidation Trustee is otherwise authorized to retain non-legal advisors as necessary to exercise its duties set forth in the Plan, subject to the Wind Down Budget.

(p) Periodic Reporting. The Liquidation Trustee shall provide periodic reporting to the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board regarding the status of (i) the General Unsecured Claims reconciliation process and (ii) the pursuit, abandonment, or liquidation of GUC Reserve Assets, in each case as set forth in the Liquidation Trust Agreement.

(q) Institution and Maintenance of Legal and Other Proceedings. As of the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust shall be empowered to initiate, prosecute, defend, and resolve all legal actions and other proceedings related to any of the Liquidation Trust Assets or liability of the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trust shall be empowered to initiate, prosecute, defend, and resolve all such actions in the name of the Debtors if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Liquidation Trustee. The Liquidation Trust shall be responsible for the payment of all damages, awards, judgments, settlements, expenses, costs, fees, and other charges incurred subsequent to the Effective Date arising from, or associated with, any legal action or other proceeding brought pursuant to this section of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Trust, pursuant to section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state corporate law, is appointed as the successor-in-interest to, and representative of, the Debtors and their Estates for the retention, enforcement, settlement, or adjustment of all Claims.

(r) Dissolution. The Liquidation Trust shall be dissolved and the Liquidation Trustee and Liquidation Trust Oversight Board shall be discharged from their duties with respect to the Liquidation Trust upon completion of their duties as set forth in the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be no earlier than the date on which (i) all Disputed Claims have been resolved, (ii) all Liquidation Trust Assets have been liquidated, (iii) all distributions from the Liquidation Trust required to be made by the Liquidation Trustee under the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement have been made, and (iv) solely with respect to Debtor Luminar Technologies, Inc., the OFAC License and any and all other OFAC approvals and/or authorizations required by OFAC in connection with the Blocked Parent Interests have been obtained, unless dissolution on an earlier date is authorized pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Liquidation Trust be dissolved later than five (5) years from the date the Liquidation Trust is established unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made within the six (6) month period before such fifth (5th) anniversary (and, in the event of further extension, by order of the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion made at least six (6) months before the end of the preceding extension), determines that a fixed period extension (not to exceed three (3) years, together with any prior extensions, without a favorable private letter ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Liquidation Trustee that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the trust as a liquidating trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery on, and liquidation of, the Liquidation Trust Assets.

(s) Expedited Determination of Taxes. The Liquidation Trustee may request an expedited determination of taxes under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for all tax returns filed by or on behalf of the Liquidation Trust through the date upon which the Liquidation Trust is terminated, and for all tax returns filed by or on behalf of the Debtors for all taxable periods of the Debtors.

(t) Exculpation of Liquidation Trust Oversight Board. The Liquidation Trust Agreement shall provide that the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board shall be exculpated (subject to exceptions for willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence, or fraud) to the fullest extent allowable by applicable law with respect to the liquidating of the Liquidation Trust Assets and administration of the Liquidation Trust.

(u) Non-Transferability of Distribution Rights. Any beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Trust Interests) or any right to receive a distribution from the Liquidation Trust shall not be evidenced by any certificate, security, receipt, or in any other form or manner whatsoever, except as maintained on the books and records of the Liquidation Trust by the Liquidation Trustee. Further, any beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Trust Interests) or any right to receive a distribution from the Liquidation Trust shall be nontransferable and non-assignable except by will, intestate, succession, or operation of law. Any beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Trust Interests) or any right to receive a distribution from the Liquidation Trust shall not constitute Securities and shall not be registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However, if it is determined that such beneficial interests (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Trust Interests) or rights constitute Securities, the exemption provisions of section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code will be satisfied and the issuance under the Plan of the Liquidation Trust Interests will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and all applicable state and local securities laws and regulations.

(v) U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Liquidation Trust. In furtherance of this section of the Plan, and subject to the next paragraph of this section, (i) the Liquidation Trust shall be structured to qualify as a “liquidating trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d) and in compliance with Revenue Procedure 94-45, 1994-2 C.B. 684 and, thus, as a “grantor trust” within the meaning of sections 671 through 679 of the Tax Code to the Holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust, consistent with the terms of the Plan; (ii) the sole purpose of the Liquidation Trust shall be the liquidation and distribution of the Liquidation Trust Assets in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), including the resolution of Claims in accordance with this Plan, with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business; (iii) all parties (including the Debtors, their Estates, Holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust, and the Liquidation Trustee) shall report consistently with such treatment (including the deemed receipt of the underlying assets, subject to applicable liabilities and obligations, by the Holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust, followed by the deemed transfer of such Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust); (iv) all parties shall report consistently with the valuation of the Liquidation Trust Assets transferred to the Liquidation Trust as determined by the Liquidation Trustee (or its designee); (v) the Liquidation Trustee shall be responsible for filing returns for the Liquidation Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.671-4(a); and (vi) the Liquidation Trustee shall annually send to each holder of beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust a separate statement regarding the receipts and expenditures of the Liquidation Trust as relevant for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including the receipt by the Liquidation Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Liquidation Trustee so requests one, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon audit if not contested by the Liquidation Trustee), the Liquidation Trustee (i) shall timely elect to treat the GUC Reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9, (ii) may timely elect to treat any other portion of the Liquidation Trust allocable to, or retained on account of, Disputed Claims as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9, and (iii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes. As to the GUC Reserve and any other assets allocable to, or retained on account of, Disputed Claims treated as a “disputed ownership fund,” all distributions thereof shall be net of any costs and expenses, including taxes, relating to the retention or disposition of such assets, and the Liquidation Trustee shall be responsible for payment, out of such assets, of any taxes imposed on or with respect to such assets. In the event any cash in such reserve or fund is insufficient to pay the costs and expenses of the reserve or fund (including any taxes attributable to any income that may arise upon the distribution of the assets), assets of the reserve or fund may be sold to pay such costs and expenses. All parties (including, without limitation, the Debtors, their Estates, the Liquidation Trust, and the Holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust) will be required to report for tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.

5.6

Exemption from Securities Laws.

The issuance of the Parent Debtor Additional Stock to the Liquidation Trust pursuant to the Plan is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or, solely to the extent section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act is not available, another available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Such securities will be considered “restricted securities” and may not be transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement or under an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as, under certain conditions, the resale provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

On or after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trustee shall make all Plan Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims only in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Confirmation Order, and the Liquidation Trust Agreement, to Holders of Allowed Claims, and only to the extent that the Liquidation Trust has sufficient Liquidation Trust Assets (or income and/or proceeds realized from Liquidation Trust Assets) to make such payments in accordance with and to the extent provided for in the Plan, the Confirmation Order and the Liquidation Trust Agreement. The Liquidation Trustee shall direct the Initial Plan Distribution (including the Plan Distribution of the Liquidation Trust Interests) to Holders of Allowed Claims as set forth in Article IV. After the date of the Initial Plan Distribution, the Liquidation Trustee shall from time to time, subject to sections 5.5(v) and 7.4, determine in its sole discretion the subsequent dates for Plan Distributions.

7.2

No Postpetition Interest on Claims.

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, another order of the Bankruptcy Court, or the Bankruptcy Code (including postpetition interest in accordance with sections 506(b) and 726(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code), interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims, and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on such Claim on or after the Petition Date; provided, that if interest is payable pursuant to the preceding clause, and except for interest comprising part of the First Lien Noteholder Claim Amount and Second Lien Noteholder Claim Amount which, in each case, to the extent permitted pursuant to the preceding clause, shall accrue and be payable at the rates provided therefor under the First Lien Notes Indenture and Second Lien Notes Indenture, respectively, including any related Default Interest (as defined therein) and any make-whole or other premium included in the Redemption Price (as defined in the First Lien Notes Indenture or the Second Lien Notes Indenture, as applicable), interest shall accrue at the Federal Judgment Rate pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961 on a non-compounded basis from the date the obligation underlying the Claim becomes due and is not timely paid through the date of payment.

7.3

Distribution Record Date.

(a) As of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, the various transfer registers for each of the Classes of Claims or Interests as maintained by the Debtors or their respective agents shall be deemed closed for purposes of determining whether a Holder of such a Claim or Interest is a record holder entitled to Plan Distributions, and there shall be no further changes in the record Holders or the permitted designees of any of the Claims or Interests. The Debtors and the Liquidation Trustee shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer or designation of the Claims or Interests occurring on or after the Distribution Record Date. In addition, with respect to payment of any Cure Amounts or disputes over any Cure Amounts, neither the Debtors nor the Liquidation Trustee shall have any obligation to recognize or deal with any party other than the non-Debtor party to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date, even if such non-Debtor party has sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred its Claim for a Cure Amount.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Distribution Record Date shall not apply to distributions in respect of securities deposited with DTC, the Holders of which shall receive distributions, if any, in accordance with the customary exchange procedures of DTC or the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with a distribution through the facilities of DTC (if any), DTC shall be considered a single Holder for purposes of distributions.

(c) All distributions to First Lien Noteholders, Second Lien Noteholders, and Unsecured Noteholders shall be made to or at the direction of the First Lien Notes Agent, Second Lien Notes Agent, or Unsecured Notes Trustee, respectively, or, upon and pursuant to the prior written consent (email being sufficient) of the First Lien Notes Agent, Second Lien Notes Agent, or Unsecured Notes Trustee, as applicable, to or at the direction of the Claims and Noticing Agent. Distributions under the Plan to Unsecured Noteholders, including distributions of Cash from the Liquidation Trust to the Unsecured Noteholders, shall be subject to the Unsecured Notes Trustee’s charging lien.

7.4

Date of Distributions.

(a) In the event that any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date.

(b) After the resolution of a Disputed Senior Claim, the Liquidation Trustee shall treat any amounts that were reserved on account of such Disputed Senior Claim that is either (i) Disallowed or (ii) Allowed in a lesser amount than asserted, as Surplus Senior Claims Reserve and such amounts shall be allocated pursuant to the Waterfall.

7.5

Distributions after Effective Date.

(a) Distributions made after the Effective Date to Holders of Disputed Claims that are not Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date but which later become Allowed Claims, shall be deemed to have been made on the Effective Date.

7.6

Plan Distributions Made by Liquidation Trustee.

All Plan Distributions shall be made by the Liquidation Trustee on and after the Effective Date as provided herein. The Liquidation Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties. The Debtors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Liquidation Trustee with the amounts of Claims and the identities and addresses of Holders of Claims, in each case, as set forth in the Debtors’ books and records. The Debtors shall cooperate in good faith with the Liquidation Trustee to comply with the reporting and withholding requirements outlined in section 7.17 of the Plan.

7.7

Delivery of Distributions.

Subject to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, the Liquidation Trustee shall make all distributions to any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest or its authorized designee or transferee as and when required by the Plan at (i) the address of such Holder on the books and records of the Debtors or their agents or (ii) at the address in any written notice of address change delivered to the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, including any addresses included on any transfers of Claim Filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001. In the event that any distribution to any Holder is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Liquidation Trustee is notified in writing of such Holder’s then-current address, at which time, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, all currently-due, missed distributions shall be made to such Holder without interest. Nothing herein shall require the Liquidation Trustee to attempt to locate Holders of undeliverable distributions and, if located, assist such Holders in complying with section 7.17 of the Plan.

7.8

Delivery of Distributions to First Lien Noteholders and Second Lien Noteholders.

As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, and subject to the First Lien Notes Agent’s rights under sections 7.11 and 10.06 of the First Lien Notes Indenture, the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, shall make all distributions with respect to the First Lien Notes and the First Lien Noteholder Claim to the First Lien Notes Agent, or to DTC upon the written consent of the First Lien Notes Agent, for onward distribution to the applicable First Lien Noteholders through DTC in exchange for the First Lien Notes and any of their book entry positions relating to such notes. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, and subject to the Second Lien Notes Agent’s rights under sections 7.11 and 10.06 of the Second Lien Notes Indenture, the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, shall make all distributions with respect to the Second Lien Notes and the Second Lien Noteholder Claim to the Second Lien Notes Agent, or to DTC upon the written consent of the Second Lien Notes Agent, for onward distribution to the applicable Second Lien Noteholders through DTC in exchange for the Second Lien Notes and any of their book entry positions relating to such notes.

As a condition precedent to the distribution provided for in this section 7.8, the First Lien Noteholders and the Second Lien Noteholders, respectively, shall be deemed to have surrendered their First Lien Notes and Second Lien Notes, book entry positions related to such notes and other documentation underlying such notes, and all such surrendered First Lien Notes and Second Lien Notes, book entry positions, and other documents shall be deemed to be cancelled in accordance with section 5.10 of the Plan. With respect to each distribution to be made to the First Lien Noteholders and Second Lien Noteholders, the respective obligations of the First Lien Notes Agent and Second Lien Notes Agent, relating to such distribution shall be discharged and deemed satisfied upon DTC’s receipt of such distribution.

7.9

Unclaimed Property.

(a) One year from the later of: (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the date a Claim or Interest is first Allowed, all distributions payable on account of such Claim or Interest that are not claimed or accepted by such date shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall revert to the Liquidation Trustee or its successor or assigns, and all claims of any other Entity (including the Holder of a Claim in the same Class) to such distribution shall be released and forever barred. The Liquidation Trustee shall have no obligation to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim other than by reviewing the Debtors’ books and records and the Bankruptcy Court’s filings.

(b) A distribution shall be deemed unclaimed if a Holder has not (i) accepted a particular distribution or, in the case of distribution made by check, by ninety (90) calendar days after issuance, negotiated such check, (ii) given notice to the Liquidation Trustee of an intent to accept a particular distribution, (iii) responded to the Debtors’ or Liquidation Trustee’s, as applicable, request for information necessary to facilitate a particular distribution, or (iv) taken any other action necessary to facilitate such distribution.

7.10

Satisfaction of Claims.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, any distributions and deliveries to be made on account of Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be in complete and final satisfaction, release, and settlement of and exchange for such Allowed Claims.

7.11

Manner of Payment under Plan.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, at the option of the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by a check or wire transfer, or ACH transfer, or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements or customary practices of the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, including, to the extent such distribution is being made on account of securities deposited with DTC, through the facilities of DTC in accordance with DTC’s applicable customary procedures.

7.12

Minimum Cash Distributions.

The Liquidation Trustee shall not be required to make any distribution of Cash less than one hundred dollars ($100) to any Holder of an Allowed Claim; provided, however, that if any distribution is not made pursuant to this section 7.12, such distribution shall be added to any subsequent distribution to be made on behalf of such Holder’s Allowed Claim.

7.13

No Distribution in Excess of Amount of Allowed Claim.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no Holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive, on account of such Allowed Claim, Plan Distributions in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim.

7.14

Allocation of Distributions between Principal and Interest.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and subject to section 7.2 of the Plan or as otherwise required by law (as reasonably determined by the Liquidation Trustee), distributions with respect to an Allowed Claim shall be allocated first to the principal portion of such Allowed Claim (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) and, thereafter, to the remaining portion of such Allowed Claim, if any, including accrued but unpaid interest.

7.15

Setoffs and Recoupments.

(a) Subject to sections 11.6(a), 11.6(b), 11.7, and 11.9, the Debtors and the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, may, but shall not be required to, set off or recoup against any Claim, and any distribution to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claim, any and all claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee of any claims, rights, or Causes of Action that a Debtor or the Liquidation Trustee may possess against the Holder of such Claim.

(b) In no event shall any Holder of Claims be entitled to set off any such Claim against any claim, right, or Cause of Action of a Debtor or the Liquidation Trustee, unless (i) the Debtors, or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, have consented or (ii) such Holder has Filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph does not create any new rights to setoff or recoupment that did not exist under any applicable law or agreement in existence before the Effective Date.

7.16

Expenses of Liquidation Trustee.

Subject to the written agreement of the Debtors and the Liquidation Trustee, the amount of any reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Liquidation Trustee on or after the Effective Date (including taxes other than any income, franchise, capital gain, or similar taxes) and any reasonable and documented compensation and out-of-pocket expense reimbursement Claims (including for reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees and other professional fees and out-of-pocket expenses) made by the Liquidation Trustee shall be paid in Cash by the Liquidation Trustee in the ordinary course of business.

7.17

Withholding and Reporting Requirements.

(a) Withholding Rights. In connection with the Plan, any Person issuing any instrument or making any distribution described in the Plan (or any other related agreement) or payment in connection therewith shall comply with all applicable withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local or non-U.S. taxing authority, and, notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, any such Person shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of any distribution or payment to be made under or in connection with the Plan (or any other related agreement) to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, using its own funds to pay any applicable withholding taxes and retaining a portion of the applicable distribution, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary or appropriate to facilitate such distributions or establishing any other mechanisms it believes are reasonable and appropriate. Any amounts withheld shall be deemed to have been distributed to and received by the applicable recipient for all purposes of the Plan. In the case of a non-Cash distribution that is subject to withholding, the distributing party may withhold an appropriate portion of such distributed property and either (i) sell such withheld property to generate Cash necessary to pay over the withholding tax (or reimburse the distributing party for any advance payment of the withholding tax), or (ii) pay the withholding tax using its own funds and retain such withheld property. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been distributed to, and received by, the applicable recipient for all purposes of the Plan. Any party issuing any instrument or making any non-cash distribution pursuant to the Plan has the right, but not the obligation, to not make a distribution until such Holder has made arrangements satisfactory to such issuing or disbursing party for payment of any such tax obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest or any other Person that receives a distribution pursuant to the Plan or payment in connection therewith shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including, without limitation, income, withholding, and other taxes, on account of such distribution. The Liquidation Trustee reserves the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances.

(b) Forms. Any party entitled to receive any property as an issuance or distribution under the Plan shall, upon reasonable request, deliver to the applicable withholding agent or such other Entity or Estate designated by the Liquidation Trustee (which Person shall subsequently deliver to the Liquidation Trustee any applicable Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8 or Form W-9 received) an appropriate IRS Form W-9 or an appropriate IRS Form W-8 and/or any other forms or documents reasonably requested by the Liquidation Trustee or the applicable withholding agent to reduce or eliminate any withholding required by any federal, state, or local taxing authority. If such request is made by a withholding agent or such other Entity or Estate as designated by the Liquidation Trustee, and such party fails to comply before the date that is 180 calendar days after the request is made, the amount of such distribution shall irrevocably revert to the Liquidation Trust and any Claim in respect of such distribution shall be forever barred from assertion against the Liquidation Trust or its property.

ARTICLE VIII.

PROCEDURES FOR DISPUTED CLAIMS.

8.1

Disputed Claims Generally.

Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases before the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim shall become an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed pursuant to the Plan or Final Order, including the Confirmation Order (when it becomes a Final Order) Allowing such Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, insofar as a Claim is Allowed under the Plan or was Allowed before the Effective Date, from and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trustee shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses that the Debtors had immediately before the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed Claim, including related to Causes of Action retained pursuant to the Plan. Any objections to Claims shall be served and Filed on or before the Claim Objection Deadline.

8.2

Resolution of Claims.

Except insofar as a Claim is Allowed under the Plan, on and after the Effective Date, objections to Claims against the Debtors may be interposed and prosecuted only by the Liquidation Trustee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan and notwithstanding any requirements that may be imposed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trustee shall have the authority to (i) file, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims, (ii) settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court, and (iii) administer and adjust the Debtors’ claims register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court. If the Liquidation Trustee and a Holder of a Disputed Claim are unable to reach a settlement on the Disputed Claim, such Disputed Claim shall be submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for resolution.

8.3

Estimation of Claims.

The Liquidation Trustee shall determine, resolve and otherwise adjudicate all contingent, unliquidated, and Disputed Claims. The Liquidation Trustee, with respect to such Disputed Claims, may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent, unliquidated, or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, including to establish a reserve for distribution purposes, regardless of whether the Debtors previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent, unliquidated, or Disputed Claim, the amount so estimated shall constitute either the Allowed amount of such Claim or a maximum limitation on such Claim, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on the amount of such Claim, the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the Allowance of such Claim. Notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any Holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such estimation unless such Holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before twenty-one (21) calendar days after the date on which such Claim is estimated.

8.4

Claim Resolution Procedures Cumulative.

All of the Claims, objection, estimation, and resolution procedures in the Plan are intended to be cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently settled, compromised, withdrawn, or resolved in accordance with the Plan without further notice or Bankruptcy Court approval.

8.5

Adjustment to Claims Register Without Objection.

Any duplicate Claim or Interest or any Claim or Interest that has been paid or satisfied, or any Claim that has been amended or superseded, may be adjusted or expunged on the claims register by the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, upon stipulation or any agreement in writing, including, without limitation, email correspondence, between the parties in interest without the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, having to File an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding seeking to object to such Claim or Interest and without any further notice or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

8.6

No Distributions Pending Allowance.

If an objection, motion to estimate, or other challenge to a Claim or Interest is Filed, no payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim or Interest unless and until (and only to the extent that) such Disputed Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest.

8.7

Distributions after Allowance.

To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. On a date that is at least forty-five (45) calendar days after the date on which the Final Order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, or on an earlier date selected by the Liquidation Trustee in the Liquidation Trustee’s sole discretion, the Liquidation Trustee shall provide to the Holder of such Claim the Plan Distribution (if any) to which such Holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, subject to section 5.5(v) and without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim unless required by the Bankruptcy Code.

8.8

Single Satisfaction of Claims and Interests.

In no case shall the aggregate value of all property received or retained under the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim or Interest exceed 100 percent of the underlying Allowed Claim or Interest.

8.9

Amendments to Claims.

On or after the Effective Date, except as provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, a Claim may not be Filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court, and any other new or amended Claim or Proof of Claim Filed after the Effective Date shall be deemed Disallowed in full and expunged without any further action or notice to the Bankruptcy Court.

8.10

Reservation of Rights to Object to Claims

The failure of the Liquidation Trustee to object to any Claim shall not be construed as an admission to the validity or amount of any such Claim, any portion thereof, or any other Claim related thereto, whether or not such Claim is asserted in any currently pending or subsequently initiated proceeding, and shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, to contest, challenge the validity of, or otherwise defend against any such claim in the Bankruptcy Court or non-bankruptcy forum.

8.11

Disallowance of Claims.

Any Claims held by Entities from which property is recoverable under sections 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under sections 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed Disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Bankruptcy Court order with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Liquidation Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided herein or otherwise agreed by the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, any and all Proofs of Claim Filed after the applicable Bar Date shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and Holders of such Claims or Interests may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims or Interests, unless the Bankruptcy Court shall have determined by a Final Order, on or before the Confirmation Hearing, that cause exists to extend the Bar Date as to such Proof of Claim on the basis of excusable neglect.

ARTICLE IX.

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES.

9.1

General Treatment.

(a) As of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (including, but not limited to, those giving rise to D&O Indemnification Obligations) to which any of the Debtors are parties shall be deemed rejected, unless such contract or lease (i) was previously assumed or rejected by the Debtors, pursuant to Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms or by agreement of the parties thereto, (iii) is the subject of a motion to assume Filed by the Debtors on or before the Confirmation Date, (iv) is specifically designated as a contract or lease to be assumed by the Debtors on the Schedule of Assumed Contracts, (v) is the subject of a pending Assumption Dispute, or (vi) is a D&O Policy or other insurance policy to which any Debtor or the Liquidation Trustee is a beneficiary or an insured.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or Confirmation Order, any obligations of Debtor Luminar Technologies, Inc. under the TSA shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and the LSI Sale Order and, for the avoidance of doubt, the TSA shall not be deemed rejected upon the occurrence of the Effective Date and the Debtors and/or the Liquidation Trustee shall perform such duties required of the Debtors pursuant to the TSA in accordance with its terms.

(c) Subject to (i) resolution of any disputes in accordance with section 9.2 of the Plan with respect to the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases subject to such disputes, and (ii) the occurrence of the Effective Date, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute (x) a determination by the Bankruptcy Court that the Debtors, the Liquidation Trustee, or the assignee of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (as applicable) have provided adequate assurance of future performance under such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and (y) approval of the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, or rejections provided for in the Plan pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Unless otherwise indicated or provided in a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court or the Plan Supplement, rejections, assumptions, or assumptions and assignments of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan are effective as of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by order of the Bankruptcy Court shall be assigned to the Liquidation Trust on the date such trust is established or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and shall vest in, and be fully enforceable by, the Liquidation Trust in accordance with its terms, except as modified by any provision of the Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption or assumption and assignment, or applicable law.

(d) To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (including any “change of control” provision), then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto.

9.2

Determination of Assumption and Cure Disputes and Deemed Consent.

(a) Any Cure Amount shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the Cure Amount, as reflected in the applicable cure notice, in Cash on the Effective Date, subject to the limitations described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases and the Debtors or Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, may otherwise agree.

(b) The Debtors shall File, as part of the Plan Supplement, the Schedule of Assumed Contracts. To the extent practicable, at least fourteen (14) calendar days before the deadline to object to Confirmation of the Plan, the Debtors shall serve a notice on parties to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases to be assumed, or assumed and assigned to the Liquidation Trust, reflecting the Debtors’ intention to potentially assume or assume and assign the contract or lease in connection with the Plan and, where applicable, setting forth the proposed Cure Amount (if any). If a counterparty to any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that the Debtors intend to assume or assume and assign to the Liquidation Trust is not listed on such a notice, the proposed Cure Amount for such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed to be Zero Dollars ($0). Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to the proposed assumption, assumption and assignment, or related Cure Amount must be Filed, served, and actually received by the Debtors within ten (10) calendar days of the service of the assumption notice, or such shorter period as agreed to by the parties or authorized by the Bankruptcy Court. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that does not timely object to the notice of the proposed assumption or assumption and assignment of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed to have assented to assumption or assumption and assignment of the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease notwithstanding any provision thereof that purports to (i) prohibit, restrict, or condition the transfer or assignment of such contract or lease; (ii) terminate or modify, or permit the termination or modification of, a contract or lease as a result of any direct or indirect transfer or assignment of the rights of any Debtor under such contract or lease or a change, if any, in the ownership or control to the extent contemplated by the Plan; (iii) increase, accelerate, or otherwise alter any obligations or liabilities of any Debtor or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, under such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease; or (iv) create or impose a Lien upon any property or Asset of any Debtor or the Liquidation Trust, as applicable. Each such provision shall be deemed to not apply to the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan and counterparties to assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that fail to object to the proposed assumption or assumption and assignment in accordance with the terms set forth in this section 9.2, shall forever be barred and enjoined from objecting to the proposed assumption or assumption and assignment, or to the validity of such assumption or assumption and assignment (including with respect to any Cure Amounts or the provision of adequate assurance of future performance), or taking actions prohibited by the foregoing or the Bankruptcy Code on account of transactions contemplated by the Plan.

(c) If there is an Assumption Dispute pertaining to assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (other than a dispute pertaining to a Cure Amount) and such Assumption Dispute is not resolved, such dispute shall be heard by the Bankruptcy Court before such assumption being effective; provided that the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, may settle any dispute regarding the Cure Amount or the nature thereof without any further notice to any party or any action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

(d) To the extent an Assumption Dispute relates solely to the Cure Amount, the Debtors may assume and/or assume and assign the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease before the resolution of the Assumption Dispute; provided that the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, reserve Cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount reasonably asserted as the required Cure Amount by the non-Debtor party to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (or such smaller amount as may be fixed or estimated by the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise agreed to by such non-Debtor party and the applicable Debtor or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable). The Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, may settle any Assumption Dispute or the nature thereof without any further notice to any party or any action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

(e) Subject to resolution of any dispute regarding any Cure Amount, all Cure Amounts shall be satisfied promptly, or otherwise as soon as practicable, by payment of the Cure Amount by the Debtors or the Liquidation Trust, as the case may be, upon assumption or assumption and assignment, as applicable, of the underlying Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. Assumption or assumption and assignment, as applicable, of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan, or otherwise, shall result in the full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of any Claims or defaults, subject to satisfaction of the Cure Amount, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time before the effective date of the assumption or assumption and assignment, as applicable. Any Proofs of Claim Filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has been assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, upon the deemed assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.

(f) With respect to payment of any Cure Amounts or Assumption Disputes, neither the Debtors nor the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, shall have any obligation to recognize or deal with any party other than the non-Debtor party to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, even if such non-Debtor party has sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred its cure Claim.

9.3

Rejection Claims.

Unless otherwise provided by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, if any, must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the later of thirty (30) calendar days from (i) the date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejection, (ii) the effective date of the rejection of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and (iii) the Effective Date. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease not Filed within such time shall be Disallowed pursuant to the Confirmation Order or such other order of the Bankruptcy Court, as applicable, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against, as applicable, the Debtors, their Estates, the Liquidation Trust, the Liquidation Trustee, or property of the foregoing, without the need for any objection by the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, or further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules, if any, or a Proof of Claim to the contrary. Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims and may be objected to in accordance with the provisions of section 8.2 of the Plan and applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules.

9.4

Insurance Policies/Claims Payable By Third Parties.

(a) All insurance policies which were issued to the Debtors as first named insured, including any D&O Policy, shall be deemed to be and treated as Executory Contracts and shall be assumed by the applicable Debtors and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter in accordance with their respective terms, and on and after the Effective Date the Liquidation Trust shall become and remain liable in full for all of its and the Debtors’ obligations under the insurance policies regardless of whether such obligations arise before, on or after the Effective Date, and all such insurance policies shall vest in the Liquidation Trust. Coverage for defense and indemnity under the D&O Policy shall remain available to all individuals within the definition of “Insureds” in any D&O Policy.

(b) In addition, after the Effective Date, all officers, directors, agents, or employees who served in such capacity at any time before the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any D&O Policy (including any “tail” policy) for the full term of such policy, to the extent set forth in such policies.

(c) In addition, after the Effective Date, the coverage under any D&O Policy (including any “tail policy”) in effect as of the Petition Date shall not be terminated or otherwise reduced, and any current and former directors, officers, members, managers, agents or employees of any of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time before the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such D&O Policy for the full term of such policy to the extent set forth in such policies. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section 9.4(c) shall in any way impair the Liquidation Trustee’s ability on and after the Effective Date to assert on behalf of the Liquidation Trust any claims that are not otherwise released pursuant to section 11.6(a) of the Plan and are properly asserted under and/or covered by the D&O Policies, or to seek to recover the proceeds of the applicable D&O Policies on account of such claims in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable D&O Policies, which shall not be altered.

In the event that the Debtors determine that an Allowed Claim is covered in full or in part under one of the Debtors’ insurance policies, no distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of such Allowed Claim unless and until, and solely to the extent that, (i) the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy, and (ii) an insurer authorized to issue a coverage position under such insurance policy, or the agent of such insurer, issues a formal determination, which the Debtors in their sole discretion do not contest, that coverage under such insurance policy is excluded or otherwise unavailable for losses arising from such Allowed Claim. Any proceeds available pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies shall reduce the Allowed amount of a Claim on a dollar-for-dollar basis. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claim objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. If an applicable insurance policy has a SIR, the Holder of an Insured Litigation Claim shall have an Allowed General Unsecured Claim or a Section 510(b) Claim, as applicable, against the applicable Debtor’s Estate solely up to the amount of the SIR that may be established upon the liquidation of the Insured Litigation Claim. Such SIR shall be considered satisfied pursuant to the Plan through allowance of the General Unsecured Claim or Section 510(b) Claim, as applicable, solely in the amount of the applicable SIR, if any; provided, however that nothing herein obligates the Debtors, the Liquidation Trust, or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, to otherwise satisfy any SIR under any insurance policy. Any recovery on account of the Insured Litigation Claim in excess of the SIR established upon the liquidation of the Claim shall be recovered solely from the Debtors’ insurance coverage, if any, and only to the extent of available insurance coverage and any proceeds thereof. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to limit, extinguish, or diminish the insurance coverage that may exist or shall be construed as a finding that liquidated any Claim payable pursuant to an insurance policy. Nothing herein relieves any Entity from the requirement to timely File a Proof of Claim by the applicable claims bar date.

9.5

Assignment.

To the extent provided under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease transferred and assigned hereunder shall remain in full force and effect for the benefit of the transferee or assignee in accordance with its terms, notwithstanding any provision in such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (including, without limitation, those of the type set forth in section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) that prohibits, restricts, or conditions such transfer or assignment. To the extent provided under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, any provision that prohibits, restricts, or conditions the assignment or transfer of any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that terminates or modifies such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or allows the counterparty to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to terminate, modify, recapture, impose any penalty, condition renewal or extension, or modify any term or condition upon any such transfer and assignment, constitutes an unenforceable anti-assignment provision and is void and of no force or effect.

9.6

Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements.

Unless otherwise provided herein or by separate order of the Bankruptcy Court, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include any and all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements made directly or indirectly by any agreement, instrument, or other document that in any manner affects such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, without regard to whether such agreement, instrument, or other document is listed in the Schedule of Assumed Contracts.

9.7

Reservation of Rights.

(a) The Debtors may amend the Schedule of Assumed Contracts and any cure notice until five (5) calendar days immediately before the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing in order to (i) add, delete, or reclassify any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or amend a proposed assumption or assumption and assignment and/or (ii) amend the proposed Cure Amount; provided, that if the Confirmation Hearing is adjourned for a period of more than two (2) consecutive calendar days, the Debtors’ right to amend such schedules and notices shall be extended to the Business Day immediately before the adjourned date of the Confirmation Hearing, with such extension applying in the case of any and all subsequent adjournments of the Confirmation Hearing. The Debtors shall provide notice of such amendment to any affected counterparty as soon as reasonably practicable.

(b) Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease by the Debtors on any exhibit, schedule, or other annex to the Plan or in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in the Plan, will constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is or is not in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that the Debtors, the Liquidation Trust, or the Liquidation Trustee or their respective Affiliates has any liability thereunder.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, nothing in the Plan will waive, excuse, limit, diminish, or otherwise alter any of the defenses, Claims, Causes of Action, or other rights of the Debtors, Liquidation Trust, or the Liquidation Trustee under any Executory or non-Executory Contract or any unexpired or expired lease.

(d) Nothing in the Plan will increase, augment, or add to any of the duties, obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities of the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, under any Executory or non-Executory Contract or any unexpired or expired lease.

(e) If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection under the Plan, the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) calendar days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease by filing a notice indicating such altered treatment.

9.8

Intellectual Property Licenses and Agreements.

All intellectual property contracts, licenses, royalties, or other similar agreements to which the Debtors have any rights or obligations in effect as of the date of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed and treated as Executory Contracts pursuant to the Plan and shall be assumed by the respective Debtors and assigned to the Liquidation Trust and shall continue in full force and effect unless any such intellectual property contract, license, royalty, or other similar agreement otherwise is specifically rejected pursuant to a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court or is the subject of a separate rejection motion Filed by the Debtors in accordance with the Plan. Unless otherwise noted hereunder, all other intellectual property contracts, licenses, royalties, or other similar agreements shall vest in the Liquidation Trust and the Liquidation Trustee may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure such vesting as contemplated herein.

11.1

Binding Effect.

As of the Effective Date, the Plan shall bind (i) the Debtors, (ii) the Liquidation Trustee, (iii) all Holders of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors, and each of their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding whether any such Holders were (a) Impaired or Unimpaired under the Plan, (b) deemed to accept or reject the Plan, (c) failed to vote to accept or reject the Plan, (d) voted to reject the Plan, and/or (e) received any distribution under the Plan, (iv) all Entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, and injunctions described in the Plan, (v) each Entity acquiring property under the Plan and the Confirmation Order, and (vi) any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases with the Debtors.

11.5

Injunction.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, or for distributions required to be paid or delivered pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Entities that have held, hold, or may hold Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action that are (i) released or discharged pursuant to the Plan, including under section 11.6(a) or section 11.6(b) of the Plan, or (ii) subject to exculpation pursuant to section 11.7 of the Plan, and all other parties in interest, are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable, the Debtors, an Estate, the Liquidation Trust, the Liquidation Trustee, the Released Parties, and/or the Exculpated Parties (to the extent of the exculpation provided pursuant to section 11.7 of the Plan with respect to the Exculpated Parties), as applicable, with respect to such Claims, Interests, and Causes of Action: (A) commencing, conducting, or continuing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any suit, action, or other proceeding of any kind (including any proceeding in a judicial, arbitral, administrative, or other forum) on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action; (B) enforcing, levying, attaching (including any prejudgment attachment), collecting, or otherwise recovering in any manner or by any means, whether directly, or indirectly, any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action; (C) creating, perfecting, or otherwise enforcing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any Lien or encumbrance of any kind against such Entities or the property or the estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action; (D) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against the property of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action unless (x) such Entity has timely asserted such setoff right either in a Filed Proof of Claim, or in another document Filed with the Bankruptcy Court explicitly preserving such setoff or that otherwise indicates that such entity asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to applicable law or otherwise or (y) such right to setoff arises under a postpetition agreement with the Debtors or (i) an Executory Contract or (ii) an Unexpired Lease, in the case of (i) and (ii), that has been assumed by the Debtors as of the Effective Date; (E) acting or proceeding in any manner, in any place whatsoever, that does not conform to or comply with the provisions of the Plan and Confirmation Order, to the full extent permitted by applicable law; and (F) commencing or continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action released, settled, and/or treated, entitled to a distribution, or cancelled pursuant to the Plan, including pursuant to section 11.6(a) or section 11.6(b) of the Plan or otherwise Disallowed; provided that such Entities that have held, hold, or may hold Claims against, Interests in, or Causes of Action against, a Debtor or an Estate shall not be precluded from exercising their rights and remedies, or obtaining the benefits, solely pursuant to and consistent with the terms of the Plan.

(b) Subject in all respects to section 12.1 of the Plan, no Entity may commence or pursue a Claim or Cause of Action of any kind against any Released Party (solely with respect to Claims or Causes of Action that purportedly may be assertable by, or on behalf of, a Releasing Party) or Exculpated Party that arose or arises from, in whole or in part: the Debtors (including the governance, management, direct or indirect ownership, transactions with, or operation thereof) or their Estates; the Liquidation Trust; the Liquidation Trustee; the Chapter 11 Cases (including the filing and administration thereof); the Wind Down; the Disclosure Statement; the negotiation, formulation, preparation, dissemination, or consummation of any contract, instrument, release, or document created or entered into in connection with the Plan (including the Plan Supplement); any other debt or Security of the Debtors and the ownership thereof; the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any debt or Security of the Debtors (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, all Claims and Causes of Action asserted or assertable in the Securities Class Actions); the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan; the business or contractual or other arrangements or other interactions between any Releasing Party and any Released Party or Exculpated Party; the restructuring of any Claim or Interest before or during the Chapter 11 Cases; any other in-or-out-of-court restructuring efforts of the Debtors; any intercompany obligations, transactions, or transfers; the formulation, preparation, negotiation, dissemination, solicitation, filing, confirmation, and consummation of the Plan (including the Plan Supplement) and the transactions contemplated by the Confirmation Order; the funding of the Plan; the administration and implementation of the Plan or Confirmation Order, including the distribution of property under the Plan; or any other agreement, act or omission, transaction, transfer, event, or other occurrence related to the foregoing and taking place on or before the Effective Date related or relating to the foregoing without the Bankruptcy Court (i) first determining, after notice and a hearing, that such Claim or Cause of Action represents a colorable claim that has not, with respect to a Released Party, been released under the Plan or, with respect to an Exculpated Party, been exculpated under the Plan and (ii) specifically authorizing such Entity to bring such Claim or Cause of Action against any such Released Party or Exculpated Party. The Bankruptcy Court shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a Claim or Cause of Action is colorable and has not been released or exculpated (as applicable) and, only to the extent legally permissible and as provided for in section 12.1 of the Plan, shall have jurisdiction to adjudicate the underlying colorable Claim or Cause of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence is subject to applicable law regarding the Bankruptcy Court’s subject matter jurisdiction to hear such matter.

(c) By participating in the Plan by voting or by accepting Plan Distributions pursuant to the Plan (in whatever sum), each Holder of an Allowed Claim extinguished, discharged, or released pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed to have affirmatively and specifically consented to be bound by the Plan, including the injunctions set forth in this section 11.5, and each such Holder acknowledges and accepts that the Plan is a binding compromise of an Allowed Claim or an Interest extinguished and releases all rights in respect of such Allowed Claim or Interest extinguished such that such Holders of Claims agree to waive any right (if any) to object to or otherwise challenge the Plan and its effect on Claims or any other matter whatsoever and that such release and waiver shall be effective irrespective of which law governs the rights of the said Holder as against a Debtor.

(d) The injunctions in this section 11.5 shall extend to any successors of the Debtors and their respective property and interests in property.

11.6

Releases.

(a) Releases by the Debtors and their Estates. Except as otherwise expressly set forth below in this section 11.6(a), notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, as of the Confirmation Date and the Effective Date, the Debtors, the Estates, the Liquidation Trust, and the Liquidation Trustee, in each case on behalf of themselves and their respective successors, assigns, any Estate representative(s) appointed or selected pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any and all other Entities that may purport to assert any Claim or Cause of Action derivatively by or through any of the foregoing Entities, shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged the Released Parties from any and all Claims, Interests, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever (including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the Debtors or the Estates), whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise that the Debtors or the Estates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim or Interest or other Entity, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part: any act or omission, obligation, transaction, transfer, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Confirmation Date or the Effective Date, as applicable, including any Claims or Causes of Action based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors (including the governance, management, direct or indirect ownership, transactions with, or operation thereof) or their Estates; the Liquidation Trust; the Liquidation Trustee; the Chapter 11 Cases (including the filing and administration thereof); the Wind Down; the Disclosure Statement; the negotiation, formulation, preparation, dissemination, or consummation of the transactions contemplated by any contract, instrument, release, or document created or entered into in connection with the Plan (including the Plan Supplement); any other debt or Security of the Debtors and the ownership thereof; the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any debt or Security of the Debtors (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, all Claims or Causes of Action asserted or assertable in the Securities Class Actions); the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan; the business or contractual or other arrangements or other interactions between any Debtor and any Released Party; the restructuring of any Claim or Interest before or during the Chapter 11 Cases; any other in-or-out-of-court restructuring efforts of the Debtors; any intercompany obligations, transactions, or transfers; the formulation, preparation, negotiation, dissemination, solicitation, filing, confirmation, and consummation of the Plan (including the Plan Supplement) and the transactions contemplated by the Confirmation Order; the funding of the Plan; the administration and implementation of the Plan or the Confirmation Order, including the distribution of property under the Plan; or any other agreement, act or omission, transaction, transfer, event, or other occurrence related to the foregoing and taking place on or before the Confirmation Date or the Effective Date, as applicable.

(b) Third-Party Releases. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, as of the Effective Date, each Releasing Party is deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged each Released Party from any and all Claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative Claims or Causes of Action asserted or assertable on behalf of the Releasing Parties that such Releasing Parties would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim or Interest or other Entity, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part: any act or omission, obligation, transaction, transfer, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date, including any Claims or Causes of Action based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors (including the governance, management, direct or indirect ownership, transactions with, or operation thereof) or their Estates; the Liquidation Trust; the Liquidation Trustee; the Chapter 11 Cases (including the filing and administration thereof); the Wind Down; the Disclosure Statement; the negotiation, formulation, preparation, dissemination, or consummation of the transactions contemplated by any contract, instrument, release, or document created or entered into in connection with the Plan (including the Plan Supplement); any other debt or Security of the Debtors and the ownership thereof; the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any debt or Security of the Debtors (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, all Claims and Causes of Action asserted or assertable in the Securities Class Actions); the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan; the business or contractual or other arrangements or other interactions between any Releasing Party and any Released Party in connection with the Debtors; the restructuring of any Claim or Interest before or during the Chapter 11 Cases; any other in-or-out-of-court restructuring efforts of the Debtors; any intercompany obligations, transactions, or transfers; the formulation, preparation, negotiation, dissemination, solicitation, filing, confirmation, and consummation of the Plan (including the Plan Supplement) and the transactions contemplated by the Confirmation Order; the funding of the Plan; the administration and implementation of the Plan or the Confirmation Order, including the distribution of property under the Plan; or any other agreement, act or omission, transaction, transfer, event, or other occurrence related to the foregoing and taking place on or before the Effective Date; provided that, with respect to Claims against the Debtors, this section 11.6(b) shall only apply to Claims arising from any act or omission, transaction, agreement, event or other occurrence taking place from and including the Petition Date through the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the releases contained in this section 11.6(b) shall not be construed as releasing (a) any Released Party from Claims or Causes of Action arising from an act or omission that is judicially determined by a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud, willful misconduct, criminal misconduct, or gross negligence, (b) any post-Effective Date obligations of any party or Entity under the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan or the transactions contemplated by the Confirmation Order, or (c) any right held, retained, or preserved by either the First Lien Notes Agent or Second Lien Notes Agent under this Plan, against the First Lien Noteholders and Second Lien Noteholders, respectively.

11.7

Exculpation.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur liability for, and each Exculpated Party is hereby released and exculpated from, any Cause of Action based on, relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, from the Petition Date through the Effective Date: the Debtors (including the governance, management, direct or indirect ownership, transactions with, or operation thereof) or their Estates; the Liquidation Trust; the Liquidation Trustee; the Chapter 11 Cases (including the filing and administration thereof); the Wind Down; the Disclosure Statement; the negotiation, formulation, preparation, dissemination, or consummation of the transactions contemplated by any contract, instrument, release, or document created or entered into in connection with the Plan (including the Plan Supplement); any other debt or Security of the Debtors and the ownership thereof; the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any debt or Security of the Debtors; the business or contractual or other arrangements or other interactions between any Debtor and any Exculpated Party; the restructuring of any Claim or Interest during the Chapter 11 Cases or on the Effective Date; any intercompany obligations, transactions, or transfers; the formulation, preparation, negotiation, dissemination, solicitation, filing, confirmation, and consummation of the Plan (including the Plan Supplement) and the transactions contemplated by the Confirmation Order; the funding of the Plan; the administration and implementation of the Plan or Confirmation Order, including the distribution of property under the Plan; or any other agreement, act or omission, transaction, transfer, event, or other occurrence related to the foregoing and taking place on or before the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the exculpations in this section 11.7 shall not release or exculpate (a) any Entity from Claims or Causes of Action arising from an act or omission that is judicially determined by a Final Order to have constituted actual fraud (provided that actual fraud shall not exempt from the scope of these exculpations any Claims or Causes of Action arising under sections 544 or 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or state or foreign laws governing fraudulent or otherwise avoidable transfers or conveyances), willful misconduct, or gross negligence, or (b) any post-Effective Date obligations of any party or Entity under the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan.

11.8

Waiver of Statutory Limitation on Releases.

EACH RELEASING PARTY IN EACH OF THE RELEASES CONTAINED IN THE PLAN (INCLUDING UNDER Article XI OF THE PLAN) EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALTHOUGH ORDINARILY A GENERAL RELEASE MAY NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR, WHICH IF KNOWN BY IT MAY HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED ITS SETTLEMENT WITH THE PARTY RELEASED, IT HAS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED AND TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN DETERMINING TO ENTER INTO THE ABOVE RELEASES THE POSSIBLE EXISTENCE OF SUCH UNKNOWN LOSSES OR CLAIMS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, EACH RELEASING PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS CONFERRED UPON IT BY ANY STATUTE OR RULE OF LAW WHICH PROVIDES THAT A RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CLAIMANT DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY IT MAY HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED ITS SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEASED PARTY, INCLUDING THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542. THE RELEASES CONTAINED IN SECTION 11.6 OF THE PLAN ARE EFFECTIVE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THOSE RELEASED MATTERS ARE PRESENTLY KNOWN, UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN.

11.9

Injunction Related to Releases and Exculpation.

The Confirmation Order shall permanently enjoin the commencement or prosecution by any Entity, whether directly, derivatively, or otherwise, of any Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, losses, or liabilities released or exculpated pursuant to the Plan, including the claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, and liabilities released or exculpated in the Plan or the Confirmation Order.

11.10

Subordinated Claims.

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Interests and the respective distributions and treatments thereof under the Plan take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, sections 510(a), 510(b), or 510(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors reserve the right, to reclassify any Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto.

11.11

Retention of Causes of Action/Transfer of Causes of Action and Reservation of Rights.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, including in all respects sections 11.6(a), 11.6(b), 11.7, and 11.9, nothing contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any rights, claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff or recoupment, or other legal or equitable defenses that the Debtors had immediately before the Effective Date on behalf of the Estates or of themselves in accordance with any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, including in all respects sections 11.6(a), 11.6(b), 11.7, and 11.9, the Liquidation Trustee, on behalf of the Debtors, shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to assert all such claims, Causes of Action, rights of setoff or recoupment, and other legal or equitable defenses as fully as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, and all of the Debtors’ legal and equitable rights in respect of any Unimpaired Claim may be asserted after the Confirmation Date and Effective Date to the same extent as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced.

11.12

Debtors are Not Entitled to a Discharge.

Nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall grant the Debtors a discharge pursuant to section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

11.13

Ipso Facto and Similar Provisions Ineffective.

Any term of any prepetition policy, prepetition contract, or other prepetition obligation applicable to a Debtor shall be void and of no further force or effect with respect to any Debtor to the extent that such policy, contract, or other obligation is conditioned on, creates an obligation of the Debtor as a result of, or gives rise to a right of any Entity based on any of the following: (i) the insolvency or financial condition of a Debtor; (ii) the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases; or (iii) the Confirmation or consummation of the Plan, including any change of control that shall occur as a result of such consummation.

11.14

Solicitation of Plan.

As of the Confirmation Date (i) the Debtors shall be deemed to have solicited acceptances of the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, sections 1125(a) and (e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule, or regulation governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with such solicitation and (ii) the Debtors and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, financial advisors, investment bankers, professionals, accountants, and attorneys shall be deemed to have participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the offer and issuance of any securities under the Plan, and therefore are not, and on account of such offer, issuance, and solicitation will not be, liable at any time for any violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or the offer and issuance of any Securities under the Plan.

11.15

INTRODUCTION

On December 15, 2025, and December 31, 2025, as applicable (the “Petition Date”), Luminar Technologies, Inc. (“Luminar” or “Luminar Parent”), LAZR Technologies, LLC, Luminar, LLC, Condor Acquisition Sub I, Inc., and Condor Acquisition Sub II, Inc. (together with Luminar, the “Debtors”, and, the Debtors collectively with the Debtors’ direct and indirect non-debtor subsidiaries, the “Company”) commenced voluntary cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) pursuant to chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b).

On December 30, 2025, the United States Trustee for Region 7 (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed the Creditors’ Committee pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code to represent the interests of unsecured creditors in the chapter 11 cases (Docket No. 115). The members of the Creditors’ Committee are (i) U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, (ii) Fujian Hitronics Technologies, Inc., (iii) Applied Intuition, Inc., (iv) Optera TPK Holding Pte., Ltd. and TPK Precision Hong Kong Co., Ltd., (v) Workday, Inc., (vi) STEER Tech LLC, and (vii) Alidade Discovery Lakes, II, LLC. The Creditors’ Committee retained Paul Hastings LLP (“Paul Hastings”) as counsel and Alvarez & Marsal Holdings, LLC (A&M) as financial advisor.

The purpose of this Disclosure Statement is to provide information of a kind, and in sufficient detail, to enable creditors of the Debtors that are entitled to vote on the Plan to make an informed decision on whether to vote to accept or reject the Plan. The Disclosure Statement contains, among other things, a summary of (i) the treatment of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors under the Plan, (ii) the Debtors’ business and certain historical events, (iii) anticipated events during these chapter 11 cases, (iv) risk factors affecting the Debtors and the Plan, and (v) the standard for seeking confirmation of the Plan.

As described in more detail below, the Debtors faced certain financial difficulties prior to the Petition Date and commenced these chapter 11 cases to facilitate value-maximizing sale processes for its LiDAR business and for the equity of Luminar Semiconductors Inc. (“LSI”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “LSICo”).

On December 15, 2025, the Debtors entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Quantum Computing, Inc. (“QCi”), the stalking horse bidder for the LSICo equity. On December 18, 2025, the Debtors filed a motion seeking approval of bidding procedures, designation of QCi as the stalking horse bidder for the LSICo equity, and authorization to designate one or more stalking horse bidders for the LiDARCo (as defined herein) equity (Docket No. 86) (the “Bidding Procedures Motion”), which was entered by the Bankruptcy Court on December 30, 2025 (Docket No. 119) (the “Bidding Procedures Order”). The Debtors received no additional qualified bids, and the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of the LSICo equity to QCi at a hearing held on January 27, 2026 (Docket No. 320). The LSI Sale Transaction closed on February 2, 2026.

On January 11, 2026, the Debtors entered into a purchase agreement with QCi for the LiDARCo assets and filed a notice designating QCi as the stalking horse bidder for the LiDARCo assets (Docket No. 202). The Debtors qualified an additional bid and held an auction for the LiDARCo assets on January 26, 2026. At the conclusion of the auction, the Debtors named MicroVision, Inc. (“MicroVision”) as the successful bidder and QCi as the back-up bidder. At a hearing held on January 27, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of the LiDARCo assets to MicroVision (Docket No. 329). The LiDARCo Sale Transaction closed on February 3, 2026.

In the last several weeks, the Debtors have engaged in extensive negotiations with the Creditors’ Committee and Ad Hoc Noteholder Group, culminating in the entry into a global compromise and settlement to resolve all of the Creditors’ Committee’s issues with the Plan, including the allocation of consideration to be distributed to holders of unsecured claims (the “Global Settlement”). The terms of the Global Settlement are incorporated into the Plan and described in Section I.B herein.

A.	OVERVIEW OF PLAN

The Plan contemplates the distribution of the proceeds from the completed sales of substantially all the Debtors’ assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code to QCi for LSICo and to MicroVision for LiDARCo and the efficient and orderly wind-down of the Debtors’ estates in accordance with the Global Settlement.

To implement the provisions of the Plan, including making distributions to holders of Claims and Interests, the Plan contemplates the creation of a Liquidation Trust, as well as the appointment of a Liquidation Trustee, the identity of which shall be included in the Plan Supplement. The selection of the Liquidation Trustee shall be mutually agreeable between the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group and the Creditors’ Committee, and reasonably acceptable to the Debtors. The Liquidation Trustee shall carry out and implement all provisions of the Plan after the Effective Date, including the reconciliation of Claims, the monetization of the Liquidation Trust Assets, including the GUC Reserve Assets, and the winding down of the Debtors’ estates. A Liquidation Trust Oversight Board shall be established to supervise the Liquidation Trustee’s reconciliation of General Unsecured Claims and its pursuit, abandonment, or liquidation of the GUC Reserve Assets. The Liquidation Trust Oversight Board will be comprised of three (3) members, each of which will be selected by the Creditors’ Committee.

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Liquidation Trustee shall take all necessary steps to establish the Liquidation Trust for the benefit of Holders of Claims against the Debtors, including executing the Liquidation Trust Agreement and the Liquidation Trust Transfer Agreement, each of which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, the Required Senior Secured Holders, and the Creditors’ Committee, and all of the Assets of the Debtors as of the Effective Date will vest with the Liquidation Trust.

The Plan further provides for, on the Effective Date, certain distributions to be made and reserves to be established, including (i) initial funding of the Senior Claims Reserve on account of Allowed Administrative Expense Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, and Allowed Priority Non-Tax Claims, (ii) funding of the Wind Down Reserve with the Wind Down Amount ($3,000,000) in accordance with the Wind Down Budget, (iii) funding of the First Lien Reserve, (iv) funding of the GUC Reserve, and (v) funding of the Professional Fee Escrow Account and payment of Professional Fee Claims therefrom. In addition to the Professional Fee Escrow Account, the Liquidation Trustee will establish a separate account for each of the Senior Claims Reserve, Wind Down Reserve, GUC Reserve, First Lien Reserve, and Second Lien Reserve, each to be maintained by the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with the Plan.

The Liquidation Trustee shall make Plan Distributions, as applicable, in the frequency determined in the Liquidation Trustee’s discretion, in accordance with the Plan:

Holders of Other Secured Claims will either receive (i) payment in full in Cash of their Allowed Claims, (ii) other treatment to render them unimpaired, or (iii) such other recovery to satisfy section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Holders of First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims will receive their pro rata share of First Lien Liquidation Trust Interests, which beneficial interests will entitle them to the Excess Cash to be allocated pursuant to the Waterfall, until they receive the allowed amount of their Claims.

Holders of Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claims will receive their pro rata share of Second Lien Liquidation Trust Interests, which beneficial interests will entitle them to the Excess Cash remaining after all First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims are satisfied in full pursuant to the Waterfall.

Holders of General Unsecured Claims, including any deficiency claims of the First Lien Noteholders and the Second Lien Noteholders, as well as the claims of the Unsecured Noteholders, will receive their pro rata share of the GUC Liquidation Trust Interests, which beneficial interests will entitle them to share in a GUC Reserve that consists of (i) the GUC Residual Amount,¹ if any, (ii) the GUC Reserve Funding Amount of $1,500,000.00, (iii) the Retained Causes of Action belonging to each of the Debtors and the Debtors’ Estates and the proceeds thereof (including any D&O Policy proceeds payable to the Estate on account of settlements or judgments from Commercial Tort Claims and other non-released claims and Causes of Action), and (iv) the Unencumbered Assets, and (v) the proceeds of each of the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv), which in the case of clauses (ii), (iii), and (iv) shall be transferred to the Liquidation Trust on the Effective Date, and in the case of clauses (i) and (v) shall be transferred to the Liquidation Trust on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter in accordance with the Plan, free and clear of all Claims, Liens, and encumbrances.

For purposes of making distributions under the Plan to Holders of General Unsecured Claims, the Debtors’ assets and liabilities will be substantively consolidated, and as such, treated as if they belonged to a single combined entity. As a result, a General Unsecured Claim against any one Debtor will be treated as a single General Unsecured Claim against the combined Debtors, rather than as separate claims against each individual Debtor.

To the extent the Liquidation Trustee generates Excess Cash after the Effective Date from monetizing the Liquidation Trust Assets, including the receipt of any Surplus Reserved Cash, Surplus Senior Claims Reserve Cash, and Surplus Professional Fee Escrow Account, such proceeds shall be allocated pursuant to the Waterfall as set forth below.

For cash remaining after the initial funding of reserves on the Effective Date, derived from the monetization of non-GUC Reserve Assets of the Liquidation Trust, or received from surplus reserve amounts, such proceeds shall be distributed through the Waterfall in the following order:

to fund any deficits in the Senior Claims Reserve;

to fund the First Lien Reserve for the benefit of First Lien Noteholders;

The “GUC Residual Amount” means any Excess Cash remaining after (i) any deficits in the Senior Claims Reserve are satisfied in accordance with the Plan, (ii) Holders of First Lien Liquidation Trust Interests receive an amount equal to their Allowed First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims, and (iii) Holders of Second Lien Liquidation Trust Interests receive an amount equal to their Allowed Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claims.

to fund the Second Lien Reserve for the benefit of Second Lien Noteholders; and

as the GUC Residual Amount, if any, to be distributed to Holders of General Unsecured Claims.

For cash (i) derived from the monetization of GUC Reserve Assets of the Liquidation Trust or (ii) remaining as GUC Residual Amount, such proceeds shall be applied in the following order:

to fund up to $200,000.00 of the Creditors’ Committee Fees in excess of the Creditors’ Committee Fee Cap;

to fund the GUC Reserve for the benefit of Holders of General Unsecured Claims.

Furthermore, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) has issued a blocking order for 5% of Luminar Parent shares (the “Blocked Parent Interests”). As a result, pursuant to OFAC regulations, the Debtors are prohibited from dealing in, or otherwise affecting, the Blocked Parent Interests prior to obtaining an OFAC License. The Debtors are preparing to apply for such an OFAC License, but the timing of obtaining such license is to be determined. Therefore, the Debtors’ Plan provides that on the Effective Date, to the extent the Debtors have not secured an OFAC License, (i) all Parent Interests, other than the Blocked Parent Interests, will be cancelled and (ii) substantially contemporaneously, new common stock in the Parent Debtor of the same number, class, and series as the Unblocked Parent Interests that are cancelled pursuant to section 4.9 of the Plan will be issued to the Liquidation Trust. The Parent Debtor Additional Stock shall be held only (and not transferred by) the Liquidation Trust and, once the Debtors have secured the OFAC License and can cancel the Blocked Parent Interests, the Liquidation Trust will be entitled to subsequently cancel all remaining Interests (including the Blocked Parent Interests) and wind down Luminar Technologies, Inc.

Any right to receive a Distribution from the Liquidation Trust will not, and is not intended to, constitute “securities” and, accordingly, will not be registered pursuant to the Securities Act or any applicable state or local securities law. However, if it should be determined that any such right to receive such Distributions constitute “securities,” the exemption provisions of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code will be satisfied and the offer and sale under the Plan of such right will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and all applicable state and local securities laws and regulations. Any such right to receive such Distributions (and the underlying Claim giving rise thereto) shall not: (a) be voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, assigned, conveyed, hypothecated, pledged, or otherwise transferred or traded; (b) be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument; and (c) possess any voting rights with respect to the Liquidation Trust or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in the governing documents thereof.

The Debtors believe the Plan maximizes value for all stakeholders.

B.	GLOBAL SETTLEMENT

The Debtors, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group, and the Creditors’ Committee have engaged in good faith and arm’s length negotiations, culminating in the parties’ entry into the Global Settlement. The Global Settlement is incorporated into the Plan and provides for the resolution of all disputes, claims, and controversies between the parties, including those related to the Plan and treatment of general unsecured claims, among other issues.

The Global Settlement includes, among others, the following material terms and conditions (each as set forth in the Plan):

•

Holders of General Unsecured Claims (including First Lien Noteholder Deficiency Claims, if any, and Second Lien Noteholder Deficiency Claims) shall receive GUC Liquidation Trust Interests entitling them to their Pro Rata Share of Cash consisting of the GUC Reserve Assets and any proceeds thereof, net of any costs and expenses incurred by the Liquidation Trust (including fees of the Liquidation Trustee and any taxes incurred by the Liquidation Trustee, whether such taxes are incurred directly by the Liquidation Trustee in his or her role as such, or on account of those taxes attributed proportionately to each Holders’ share of GUC Liquidation Trust Interests) in connection with the pursuit, abandonment, or liquidation of all GUC Reserve Assets;

•

GUC Reserve Assets shall include (i) the GUC Residual Amount, if any, (ii) the GUC Reserve Funding Amount of $1,500,000.00, (iii) the Retained Causes of Action belonging to each of the Debtors and the Debtors’ Estates and the proceeds thereof (including any D&O Policy proceeds payable to the Estate on account of settlements or judgments from Commercial Tort Claims and other non-released claims and Causes of Action), and (iv) the Unencumbered Assets, and (v) the proceeds of each of the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv);

•

The appointment of the Liquidation Trustee shall be mutually agreeable between the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group and the Creditors’ Committee and reasonably acceptable to the Debtors; the Creditors’ Committee shall select each of the three members of the Liquidation Trust Oversight Board;

•

The Debtors shall be deemed substantively consolidated for purposes of distributions to Holders of General Unsecured Claims;

•

All Preference Actions against the Debtors’ trade vendors shall be deemed released on the Effective Date;

•

The Ad Hoc Noteholder Group consents to permit the Debtors to use Cash Collateral through the Effective Date;

•

The sum of the Allowed Professional Fee Claims of the Creditors’ Committee Advisors and the Restructuring Fees and Expenses due to the Unsecured Notes Trustee shall be capped at $4.225 million; provided that any amounts up to $200,000 incurred in excess of $4.025 million shall be payable from the first dollars to be distributed as Post Effective Date Available Cash (GUC Reserve Assets); and

•

Only if the Effective Date of the Plan occurs on or before April 14, 2026, the aggregate Allowed Professional Fee Claims of the Debtors’ Advisors (excluding any amounts paid pursuant to the Ordinary Course Professionals Retention Order) shall not exceed $26.471 million.

The Debtors, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group, and the Creditors’ Committee believe that the Global Settlement avoids potentially costly, time-consuming, and wasteful litigation and any related delays in distributions to creditors. The Debtors, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group, and the Creditors’ Committee likewise believe the Global Settlement balances the desires of the key constituents in these cases and provides an equitable solution that is reasonable, fair and efficient. For these and other reasons described above, the Creditors’ Committee recommends that creditors in class 5 vote to ACCEPT the Plan.

II.

OVERVIEW OF DEBTORS’ OPERATIONS

A.	COMPANY’S BACKGROUND AND FORMATION

Headquartered in Orlando, Florida, the Debtors are a technology company specializing in advanced Light Detection and Ranging (“LiDAR”) hardware and software solutions to enable the world’s safest and smartest vehicles. In the last decade, the Company has been developing proprietary LiDAR hardware, core semiconductor components, and software – in-house – to meet the demanding performance, safety, reliability and cost requirements to enable next-generation safety and autonomous (self-driving) capabilities for passenger and commercial vehicles, as well as other adjacent markets.

Austin Russell founded the Company on December 12, 2012, with the goal of developing preeminent LiDAR technology that could be used in passenger and commercial vehicles (including to facilitate the autonomous operation of cars, trucks, and robotaxis), among other applications, and ultimately save lives by significantly reducing vehicle collisions. As described below in more detail, LiDAR technology is the most advanced sensor technology available for autonomous driving and significantly improves safety functions in vehicles by providing increased situational awareness in a broad range of driving environments through improved and higher confidence detection and planning at all vehicle speeds. Yet, prior to the Company’s founding, LiDAR technology was primarily used in defense and aerospace applications and was virtually absent from the civilian automotive market. Given the complexities attendant to integrating LiDAR technology into the multifaceted automotive systems embedded in autonomous cars, no company had successfully integrated LiDAR into consumer vehicles at the time the Company was founded.

The Company distinguished itself in the industry by (i) focusing its business primarily on applying LiDAR technology in the automotive industry through partnerships with major original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) (as opposed to other smaller, at the time, markets like robotics and drones), (ii) using a higher wavelength laser, which provides superior performance, and (iii) building its LiDAR technology in-house (as opposed to a product composed of unaffiliated off-the-shelf parts), facilitated through a series of strategic acquisitions. In so doing, the Company offered its customers best-in-class LiDAR systems. These efforts required significant investment to develop groundbreaking LiDAR technology while simultaneously integrating multiple businesses and their associated products into the Company’s business model.

In its first few years, the Company generally operated out of the public eye to protect its intellectual property and develop its business. Over time, the Company made several acquisitions, entered into multiple partnerships to grow its business while continuing to develop its technology, and went public to raise more capital for these initiatives.

BFE Acquisition. The Company’s first strategic acquisition was its 2018 acquisition of BFE Acquisition Sub II, LLC d/b/a Black Forest Engineering (“BFE”), a provider of advanced photonic hardware and firmware solutions. This transaction was the Company’s initial step in executing on its growth strategy of being able to develop the chip technology necessary to build LiDAR units wholly in-house and scale its business to meet growing customer demand.

LSI Acquisitions. In August 2021, the Company acquired OptoGration, Inc. (“OptoGration”), a manufacturer of photodetectors (i.e., electronic devices that convert light into an electrical signal, such as a current or voltage), including photodiodes, quadrant detectors, focal plane arrays, and short-wave infrared single-photon avalanche diodes. In April 2022, the Company acquired Freedom Photonics LLC (“Freedom Photonics”), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance lasers and related photonic products exclusively for external customers. In 2023, the Company began to refer to OptoGration and Freedom Photonics as the LSI side of the business, or LSICo. On March 18, 2024, the Company further augmented LSICo by acquiring EM4, LLC (“EM4”), a designer, manufacturer, and seller of packaged photonic components and sub-systems for aerospace and industrial markets.

Public Listing. In December 2020, the Company went public in a de-SPAC transaction, and its Class A common stock of the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “LAZR”.⁵ The de-SPAC transaction enabled the Company to raise over $500 million cash.

Key Partnerships. The Company entered into several key partnerships over the years, as described below:

•

Volvo Partnership. In March 2020, the Company signed the automotive industry’s first deal for LiDAR production for autonomous consumer vehicles through a contract with Volvo. At the time of the agreement, Volvo was expected to make the Company’s LiDAR technology part of the standard safety package on its next generation electric SUV, the EX90. After several years of development under the contract, Volvo required the Company to demonstrate that it could make enough LiDAR components to represent a full year’s production. To meet these demands, the Company continued to expand and invest in its business and demonstrated it could produce the required 100,000+ LiDAR components in 2024. This investment did not yield the intended results, as Volvo only purchased less than 10,000 LiDAR components over the next eighteen (18) months.

•

Polestar Partnership. In September 2021, Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC (“Polestar”) disclosed that it would integrate the Company’s technology into certain of its future production vehicles. In October 2022, Polestar unveiled the Polestar 3 electric performance SUV and announced that Luminar LiDAR would be an optional feature available for customers in the second quarter of 2023. However, after repeated project delays, Polestar discontinued the offering because the vehicle’s software ultimately could not use the LiDAR features, and the contract terminated.

⁵

Specifically, the Company’s predecessor, Gores Metropoulos, Inc. (“Gores Metropoulos”), a special purpose acquisition company, and Dawn Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub I”) and Dawn Merger Sub II, LLC (“Merger Sub II”), each a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Gores Metropoulos, consummated a merger with pre business-consummation Luminar Technologies, Inc. (“Legacy Luminar” and, such transaction the “Merger”) whereby Gores Metropoulos, Merger Sub I, and Merger Sub II merged with and into Legacy Luminar, with Gores Metropoulos being the surviving corporation. Upon the closing of the Merger, Gores Metropoulos changed its name to Luminar Technologies, Inc.

•

Mercedes Partnership. In January 2022, the Company announced a partnership with Mercedes-Benz (“Mercedes”) to accelerate the development of future automated driving technologies for Mercedes passenger cars. In the first quarter of 2023, Mercedes indicated it planned to integrate the Company’s LiDAR across a broad range of its next-generation production vehicle lines, as optional equipment, by mid-decade. However, after the Company failed to meet ambitious requirements, Mercedes terminated the development and supply agreement for breach in November of 2024. The Company and Mercedes entered into a non-exclusive development agreement for Halo in March of 2025, however, at this time, the Company has no go-forward projects with Mercedes.

B.	BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The Company operated two distinct, but interconnected, business segments, each under a separate vertical of the Company’s organizational structure: (i) autonomy solutions, which is housed at Luminar Parent, Luminar, LLC, and certain of their subsidiaries (collectively, “LiDARCo”); and (ii) advanced technologies and services (“ATS”), which is housed in LSICo. Together, LiDARCo and LSICo developed proprietary LiDAR hardware, core semiconductor components, and software to meet demanding performance, safety, reliability, and cost requirements to enable next-generation safety and autonomous capabilities for passenger and commercial vehicles and other adjacent markets. The LSICo entities are not Debtors in these chapter 11 cases. Instead, as described below, the Debtors prosecuted these cases, in part, to sell their equity interests in LSICo pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

LiDARCo

Luminar Parent oversees the Company’s LiDARCo autonomy solutions business and, together with certain of its subsidiaries, houses, develops, and markets the Company’s LiDAR sensors. Specifically, LiDARCo manufactures and sells LiDAR sensors, with a focus on OEMs in the automotive industry, robotaxis, and adjacent industries. Additional supporting functions within this segment include (i) non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services related to the Company’s LiDAR products, (ii) the development of related software products, packaged as SentinelTM (an autonomous driving and safety software, which combines the Company’s LiDAR, perception software, and HD mapping), and (iii) the licensing of certain data and information.

The Company pioneered the use of LiDAR technology in vehicles. It was the first company to build a LiDAR sensor for use in the roofline of vehicles—a practice that has now become the global standard. Moreover, the Company’s LiDAR technology enables higher speed highway autonomy as compared to its competitors because it operates with a higher wavelength laser that detects critical objects further away. The Company’s LiDAR sensors measure distance using pulsed laser light to generate a 3D model of the surrounding environment. Unlike cameras and radar, the Company’s LiDAR sensors provide precise, three-dimensional sight in all lighting conditions, even in blinding light or of dark objects at night up to 300 meters away.

The first LiDAR model the Company successfully brought to the consumer vehicle market, Iris LiDAR (“Iris”), is a high performance, long-range sensor, built from the chip-up, that unlocks safety and autonomy for vehicles. Iris and its variants feature the Company’s vertically integrated receiver, detector, and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions developed by LSICo. The Company announced Iris’s launch shortly after partnering with Volvo in 2020, and it achieved start of production (“SOP”) in April 2024.

Luminar Halo (“Halo”), which the Company unveiled in 2024, is the Company’s next-generation and most technologically-advanced model of LiDAR technology. Halo is designed to combine unmatched performance in a pocket-sized package for high-volume production vehicles. Halo offers step-function improvements in performance, integration, and cost, as compared to Iris. Despite its smaller size, Halo can see faster, farther, and more precisely than any of today’s LiDAR solutions, and its advancements are expected to enable a 2x improvement in performance, a 3x reduction in size, and a more than 2x improvement in cost. The Company is currently targeting SOP of Halo by 2027.

A key differentiator of the Company’s LiDAR technology, as compared to its competitors, is its use of a 1550nm laser, as opposed to the 905nm laser. The 1550nm laser allows for the detection of objects from longer distances, at higher speeds, and in more challenging conditions compared to the 905nm laser. In addition, the Company’s technology is the only LiDAR product on the market that (i) meets OEM specifications to enable highway autonomy for consumer series production and (ii) was made standard on a global production vehicle (the Volvo EX90).

LSICo

LSI and its subsidiaries oversee the Company’s ATS businesses, developing components that can be used in the Company’s LiDAR sensors, as well as other applications. Specifically, LSICo is a vertically integrated photonics company that supplies critical components, subsystems (including semiconductor lasers and photodetectors), and systems to Luminar and third parties. The operations of OptoGration, Freedom Photonics, and EM4 fall within the LSICo segment and together provide advanced hardware and custom developed components to power the Company’s LiDAR technology, as well as design, testing, and consulting services to LiDARCo and third-party customers. In particular, OptoGration is a critical supplier to LiDARCo as well as to external customers in other industries, including energy, military, and space.

Photonics is the science and technology of generating, manipulating, and detecting photons (or light). LSICo offers the full vertical stack of photonics solutions enabling the Company to utilize its own supply chain to build best-in-class LiDAR technology. LSICo’s products and capabilities (which span photon generation, interaction, and detection) are also applicable to a wide range of rapidly growing industries, including aerospace and defense, quantum sensing and networking, and telecommunications. Third parties to which LSICo’s diverse range of photonics solutions are deployed include government agencies and contractors in a range of applications, including missile defense, quantum sensing and networking, directed energy, and autonomous systems, among others.

LSICo operates four (4) facilities across the United States: Boston, Massachusetts (two (2) facilities); Princeton, New Jersey; and Santa Barbara, California. In those facilities, LSICo performs end-to-end capabilities from wafer fabrication to subsystem integration; in-house research and development and low-volume wafer production; space-grade and other advanced packaging functions; optical component qualification and reliability testing; and design and assembly functions for their subsystems; optical component qualification and reliability testing; and design and assembly of complex micro-optic subsystems.

Because LSICo’s capabilities span photon generation, interaction, and detection, LSICo provides a unified photonics architecture, delivering full-stack photonics solutions for defense and enterprise applications. In addition, LSICo’s advanced packaging expertise allows it to produce integrated systems that meet U.S. Department of Defense and enterprise specifications. Moreover, LSICo’s photonics solutions address significant capability gaps critical to technologies of the Department of Defense. LSI is a secure 100% domestic supplier for national security purposes.

In total, the Company issued $177.5 million under the ATM Facility.

(ii) St. James Bank Facilities

On February 23, 2024, certain of the Debtors entered into two facilities by and among Luminar, as the borrower, and The St. James Bank & Trust Company Ltd. (“St. James Bank”), as lender: (i) that certain Non-Recourse Loan and Securities Pledge Agreement (as may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “LAZR Non-Recourse Loan Agreement”), and (ii) that certain Non-Recourse Loan and Securities Pledge Agreement (as may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ECX Non-Recourse Loan Agreement” and together with the LAZR Non-Recourse Loan Agreement, the “St. James Bank Facilities”). The St. James Bank Facilities provide for loans to Luminar in the principal amount of (i) up to $45.0 million (the “LAZR Loan”) and (ii) up to $5.0 million (the “ECX Loan”), each at an interest rate of 8.0% per annum. The obligations under each of the St. James Bank Facilities are secured by a security interest, to and in favor of St. James Bank, in a certain amount of the securities which Luminar delivers into a securities account at St. James Bank – Luminar securities for the LAZR Loan and ECARX Holding Inc. securities for the ECX Loan. As of the Petition Date, no amounts are outstanding under the LAZR Loan or the ECX Loan and no securities are in the St. James Bank securities accounts.

(iii) Yorkville Facility

On May 19, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Preferred SPA”) with certain institutional accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company may, at its option, issue and sell in a series of registered direct offerings up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), to the investors at a purchase price of $960.00 per share. Each closing under the Preferred SPA is at the option of the Company upon notice to the investors and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth in the Preferred SPA. The initial offering for 35,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock was closed on May 22, 2025, and resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $33.6 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Company is under no obligation to sell any securities to the investors under the Preferred SPA.

Common Stock

As of January 23, 2026, Luminar Parent had approximately 75,153,311 shares of Class A common stock and 4,872,578 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.

Prepetition Litigation

The Debtors are subject to several pending class-action claims and shareholder complaints, as well as an Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) investigation.

Securities Class Action (2023 Action)

In May 2023, a putative class action complaint was filed against Luminar and an employee in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The suit asserts purported claims on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities between February 28, 2023 and March 17, 2023 under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) for allegedly misleading statements regarding the Company’s photonic integrated circuit (“PIC”) technology. The court appointed a lead plaintiff on August 29, 2023. On October 30, 2023, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint against Luminar and certain of its employees. Luminar and certain of its employees, as defendants, filed their motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which the court granted on May 31, 2024. On July 8, 2024, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint against Luminar and its employee. The defendants filed their motion to dismiss the second amended complaint, which the court granted on December 12, 2024. On January 10, 2025, the plaintiff filed a third amended complaint, which alleges that Luminar had misappropriated an image of another company’s PIC chip during an investor presentation. On February 24, 2025, the defendants filed their motion to dismiss the third amended complaint, which the court denied on September 10, 2025. The defendants filed their answer and affirmative defenses on October 24, 2025. On December 30, 2025, the Court issued an order staying the claims against Luminar and requiring the parties to file a joint status report indicating whether the case should be stayed in its entirety. On January 16, 2026, the parties filed a joint status report and stipulation requesting the Court enter an order staying the action as it pertains to the individual defendant to allow the parties to pursue private mediation of the claims against that individual, which the Court granted on January 22, 2026.

Securities Class Action (2025 Action)

In July 2025, a plaintiff, an acquirer of Luminar securities, filed a putative class action complaint against Luminar and certain current and former employees in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The suit asserts purported claims on behalf of purchasers of Luminar’s securities between March 20, 2025 and May 14, 2025 under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act for allegedly misleading statements regarding the former CEO’s conduct and seeks compensatory damages. The court appointed two co-lead plaintiffs on November 12, 2025. On January 26, 2026, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which extended the putative class period to March 1, 2022 through October 31, 2025, and removed Luminar Technologies, Inc. as a named defendant. The purported claims are predicated on alleged misstatements regarding (a) the Company’s “Iris” LiDAR technology and (b) the defendants’ ethics commitments and the perquisites given to the former CEO. The defendants’ answer or response to the amended complaint is due March 27, 2026.

Shareholder Derivative Suits (2023)

On October 21, 2023, a shareholder derivative suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against certain directors of Luminar and an employee (the “Florida 2023 Derivative Action”). The Florida 2023 Derivative Action avers claims for purported breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste, aiding and abetting, and contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act on the basis of the same purported wrongdoing alleged in the 2023 Securities Action described above. On February 8, 2024, the court stayed the Florida 2023 Derivative Action pending the resolution of a motion to dismiss in the 2023 Securities Action. The court lifted the stay on December 19, 2025 in light of the parties’ notice that a ruling on the motion to dismiss had been issued in the 2023 Securities Action.

In November 2023, three additional shareholder derivative suits asserting claims similar to the Florida 2023 Derivative Action were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware Derivative Actions”). On February 8, 2024, the Delaware Derivative Actions were consolidated, and on March 5, 2024, the court administratively closed the Delaware Derivative Actions pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss in the 2023 Securities Action and instructed the parties to promptly notify the court when that motion has been resolved. The Delaware Derivative Actions remain administratively closed.

Shareholder Derivative Suit (2025)

In August 2025, a shareholder derivative suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Board and current and former employees alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duties, and for violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a), and 21D of the Exchange Act based on the same alleged facts and circumstances in the first complaint in the 2025 Securities Action described above. In September 2025, two other shareholder derivative lawsuits averring similar claims were filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. On October 3, 2025, the plaintiffs in these three shareholder derivative suits filed a motion to consolidate the three actions. On November 5, 2025, the magistrate judge recommended that the actions be consolidated and stayed pending resolution of the expected motion to dismiss in the 2025 Securities Action.

SEC Investigation

As disclosed in recent public filings, the Company received two subpoenas in September 2025 from the SEC for documents in connection with an investigation the SEC is conducting to determine whether there has been a violation of federal securities laws. The Company is cooperating with the investigation. The SEC informed the Company that its investigation does not mean that it has concluded that anyone has violated the law and that receipt of the subpoena does not mean that the SEC has a negative opinion of any person, entity, or security.

Solfice Shareholder Suit (2025)

In November 2025, a shareholder of Solfice Research, Inc. (“Solfice”) filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Solfice, Condor Acquisition Sub I, Inc. (“Condor I”), Condor Acquisition Sub II, Inc. (“Condor II” and, together with Condor I, the “Condor Subsidiaries”), Luminar Technologies, Inc., and certain directors and officers of Solfice regarding the 2022 asset sale of Solfice to Luminar Technologies, Inc. (the “Solfice Transaction”). The Condor Subsidiaries are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Luminar Technologies, Inc. that were established in connection with the Solfice Transaction. Plaintiff seeks a finding that the Solfice Transaction (including the transfer of assets to the Debtors or its subsidiaries thereunder) was void ab initio. The complaint further asserts Luminar Technologies, Inc. and the Condor Subsidiaries aided and abetted in the breach of fiduciary duties. The Debtors dispute the assertions in the complaint. The Condor Subsidiaries filed voluntary chapter 11 petitions on December 31, 2025. As described in Section IV.I.1. hereof, Plaintiff commenced an adversary proceeding with the Bankruptcy Court on January 13, 2026. The Bankruptcy Court dismissed the adversary proceeding on January 27, 2026. As of the date hereof, the matter is stayed in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Liquidity

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity have been proceeds received from issuances of debt and equity. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $54.5 million and marketable securities of $19.5 million, totaling $74 million of total liquidity. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, $173.2 million of cash was used in operations. As of the Petition Date, the Company had cash and marketable securities on hand equal to approximately $25 million.

Other Assets

In August 2023, the Debtors made an investment in a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) of Plus Automation, Inc. (“Plus Automation”), pursuant to which the Debtors are entitled to redeem their investment for cash or, under certain conditions, for equity in Plus Automation (the “SAFE Note”). The Debtors exercised their redemption right under the SAFE Note on December 19, 2025. Under the terms of the SAFE Note, Plus Automation was required to pay $10 million in cash (the “Redemption Payment”) no later than Friday, February 6, 2026. After discussions between the parties, Plus Automation notified the Debtors on January 20, 2026 that it intends to comply with its obligations under the terms of the SAFE Note. However, on February 4, 2026, Plus Automation informed the Debtors that there would be a delay in paying the Redemption Payment.

As described further in Section IV.I.2. herein, the Debtors filed an adversary proceeding against NEXT (as defined therein), requesting payment of amounts owed pursuant to a note, including $2.2 million in principal and additional amounts owed as a result of accrued interest and accrued default interest on the note.

The Debtors held equity interests of ECARX Holdings, Inc (“ECARX”), which the Debtors sold in compliance with the Cash Management Motion and Order (Docket Nos. 5 and 284). The proceeds were approximately $2.5 million.

III.

KEY EVENTS LEADING TO COMMENCEMENT OF CHAPTER 11 CASES

The Debtors commenced these chapter 11 cases with the support of a substantial majority of their senior secured creditors (the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group) for the sale of LSICo with QCi as the stalking horse bidder, as well as through those creditors’ consent to the Debtors’ use of cash collateral. Moreover, the Debtors entered chapter 11 with the intention to continue marketing LiDARCo and identify a buyer during the chapter 11 cases.

A.	CHALLENGES FACING THE DEBTORS’ BUSINESSES

The Company has faced serious challenges stemming from (i) lower than anticipated demand for LiDAR-enabled autonomous cars from OEMs, including fewer LiDAR technology purchases from Volvo, Polestar, and Mercedes, (ii) various partnership setbacks, including with Volvo, which led to a recurring loss from the development and sale of products, and (iii) various market obstacles, including growing price pressure from Chinese LiDAR development companies, which are able to produce LiDAR more cost effectively. Each of these challenges significantly strained the Company’s businesses, operations, and liquidity, as described in more detail below.

Volvo Relationship Deterioration

In March 2020, the Company entered into a Framework Purchase Agreement (the “FPA”) with Volvo to equip Luminar products into Volvo’s next-generation vehicle platform (“SPA2”), with the SPA2 program intended to serve as a model for future Volvo and Polestar vehicle lines. SPA2’s primary aim was to enable highway autonomous drive capability as an option on consumer vehicles, with series production expected to start in 2022. In addition, the program presented a simultaneous opportunity to enable next-generation proactive safety systems in a more widespread capacity at lower cost than autonomous drive upgrades.

Volvo and the Company each agreed in the FPA to make certain investments to ensure the greatest possible success of the program. Pursuant to the FPA, the Company and Volvo’s teams worked collaboratively to produce high quality products on faster-paced timelines than traditionally associated with automotive companies. Indeed, as described below, Volvo’s demanded pace required (i) more rapid employee ramp-up, (ii) significant capital expenditures, and (iii) the use of costly external contractors and service vendors.

The FPA contained minimum volume targets for several geographic locations for specified periods and specific vehicle models. When the parties signed the FPA in March 2020, the FPA estimated that Volvo would purchase 39,500 lifetime units of Iris LiDAR. In March of 2021, Volvo increased the expected volumes significantly—by over 1,700%—to approximately 673,000 lifetime units. Eleven (11) months later, in February of 2022, Volvo again increased its expected volumes, this time to 1.1 million units.

To ensure it could meet Volvo’s requested volumes and performance requirements, the Company incurred significant capital expenditures to make substantial up-front investments in equipment, facilities, and workforce. These included NRE costs essential to customizing and industrializing the Company’s products for Volvo’s platforms, as well as capital expenditures for site construction, tooling, and production equipment. In particular, the Company needed to expand its manufacturing footprint and did so, most notably through the launch of a high-volume production facility in Monterrey, Mexico, which was built to support Volvo’s EX90 production ramp.

The Company made these investments and expansions anticipating that the Volvo EX90 relationship would serve as a steppingstone for it to introduce Iris to the broader automotive industry, paving the path for the Company to develop the product further and start producing it in mass for other OEMs. As part of the Company’s broader strategy to support Volvo’s safety vision and accelerate mass adoption of its technology, the Company also invested in the development of its next-generation LiDAR system, Halo.

These sizable investments allowed the Company to increase its production capacity quickly. Specifically, from the March 2020 FPA signing through early 2024, the Company increased production capacity by almost 2,833% from approximately 4,800 units per annum to approximately 136,000 units per annum, costing the Company approximately $52 million.

The Company’s problems with Volvo began in 2022. The SOP (start of production), initially targeted for 2022, was delayed until 2024 due to complex software development and testing issues as Volvo worked to integrate a variety of complex technologies, including the Company’s LiDAR, into its vehicle systems. In the interim period, the Company’s operating expenses continued to grow.

Compounding the problem, in early 2024, without any prior notice, Volvo informed the Company it was reducing its expected volume of Iris LiDAR units for 2024 by approximately 75%. At the time, Volvo reassured the Company that despite the substantial reduction in estimated 2024 units, it still expected to meet its lifetime volume estimates under the FPA by increasing its purchases of Iris and Halo in the future. Based on these representations, the Company continued producing Iris and developing Halo to ensure it could meet Volvo’s estimated lifetime volumes.

In September 2025, Volvo informed the Company that beginning in April 2026, it would offer the Company’s Iris only as a vehicle option, as opposed to it being standard on vehicles, as Volvo had previously represented. This change reduced Volvo’s estimated lifetime volumes by approximately 90%. Volvo also informed the Company that it would not be using any LiDAR, including Halo, in Volvo’s next generation of vehicles as it was shelving the initiative as a cost-cutting measure due to Volvo’s own financial challenges.

On October 3, 2025, the Company notified Volvo that Volvo had breached the FPA by failing to purchase anywhere near the estimated volumes it provided the Company and by failing to comply with its obligations to negotiate in good faith. On October 31, 2025, the Company disclosed in a public filing that it was suspending further Iris product shipments to Volvo pending resolution of the dispute.

On November 14, 2025, Volvo sent the Company a notice purporting to terminate the FPA, including the supply of Iris for Volvo’s SPA2 program, alleging breach of contract. Notwithstanding the termination, Volvo’s engineering division requested that the Company provide additional software and firmware releases (under a new, NRE funded agreement) to complete the validation and certification of functional safety. The future of the Company’s collaboration with Volvo remains uncertain.

Volvo’s abrupt 90% reduction in lifetime volumes and complete reversal regarding the standardization of LiDAR in its vehicles have significantly impacted the Company’s projected revenue. Indeed, the Company’s total expected revenue from the Volvo contract has cratered to $53 million, only approximately 27% of the almost $200 million in costs (inclusive of NRE costs and capital expenditures) the Company incurred based on Volvo’s initial representations. In addition, the Company lost over $10 billion in market capitalization, much of which is directly attributable to the decrease in expected revenue from Volvo compared to projections based on Volvo’s representations.

Consequences of Partnership Setbacks

When the Company was in growth mode, it secured key partnerships with Volvo, as well as other major OEMs. During that time, the Company continued developing its LiDAR technology while tailoring it to meet the specifications and needs of particular customer mandates, a task that required significant resources and funding. The Company secured the required funding and dedicated enormous resources to these OEM partnerships because they were significant, promising projects that the Company believed would revolutionize autonomous driving capabilities and ultimately yield profits. With Volvo in particular, the Company was willing to take on debt and lose money with the sale of each Iris LiDAR unit, because it believed that once this life-saving technology became standard in the Volvo EX90 and the automotive industry saw its impact, the market demand would follow and the Company would eventually make money on its products. But when these partnerships did not succeed, the Company suffered serious consequences.

For example, as described above, the Volvo relationship did not result in significant sales or lead the automotive market to witness the successful, large-scale deployment of the Company’s LiDAR units in a series of consumer cars as the Company had expected. In fact, although installed and activated on the EX90, Volvo never allowed the consumers to experience the benefits of the Company’s LiDAR. In addition, because the Company’s LiDAR technology had not been adopted more broadly in the automotive market, allowing economies of scale and/or more economically favorable contracts, the Company incurred a loss with each sale of the Iris product to Volvo as, among other reasons, the price point of Iris did not account for the millions of dollars of developed, but unpurchased, product. Once Volvo reduced its expected volume, the Company produced more Iris units than it had the ability to sell to other customers. The Company began selling the LiDAR sensors it had produced to sell to Volvo to adjacent markets in an effort to recover its sunk costs.

Other significant OEM partners with which the Company went into development cancelled their agreements as well, due to their inability to integrate LiDAR technology into their vehicle platforms successfully, resulting in additional losses. While the Company presently has other customers for which it is in development or production, the setbacks from the loss of these major OEMs have had a detrimental impact on the trajectory of the Company’s business.

As its relationship with Volvo deteriorated, the Company worked tirelessly to identify new customers, but was ultimately unable to enter into production with any new customers in a timely fashion. The public Volvo dispute also resulted in a decline in sales due to broader market concerns over Luminar’s financial future. Without substantial customer demand and the broader market adoption that was anticipated, the investments the Company made into its top-of-the-line product are currently left with no foreseeable means of generating a return sufficient to meet the Company’s existing debt repayment terms.

In the months leading up to the filing, the Company struggled to access additional liquidity to fund its losses. While the Company’s stock began declining in early 2025, public disclosures in late October that the Volvo relationship was deteriorating resulted in an additional steep decline. The declining stock prices, particularly the drop after the Company issued its August 2025 10-Q, made it harder for the Company to access its ATM and Yorkville facilities.

Industry Challenges

As a general matter, the LiDAR market has been subject to several industry-wide challenges, including (i) the complexity inherent in integrating LiDAR into a vehicle’s technology system, (ii) pressure to reduce costs due to lower price points of China-based competitors, and (iii) a fluctuating domestic market demand for the technology.

LiDAR technology is particularly difficult for OEMs to integrate into autonomous vehicles, as the technology is still new and the automotive industry generally takes significant time to integrate new features. To facilitate successful implementation of LiDAR, new hardware and software architectures need to be identified, created, tested, and then validated. The process is iterative and takes significant time and resources. Each time the Company partners with a new OEM, it must adjust its LiDAR technology to ensure it is compatible with the OEM’s vehicles (and to ensure it meets any other specifications the OEM may require, such as size or capabilities) and the OEM must put in significant work to integrate the LiDAR technology successfully into its systems. As the technology systems in place in many vehicles produced today are already complicated, incorporating LiDAR technology is a complex endeavor. Few attempts to introduce LiDAR into the domestic automotive market have gained traction, which is what made the Company’s initial relationship with Volvo, the industry’s first global standard equipment series production win for self-driving vehicles on highways, groundbreaking.

While the majority of OEMs have expressed (and continue to express) interest in integrating LiDAR into their vehicles, as demonstrated by the development contracts the Company has successfully secured with major OEMs (described above), OEMs have been unwilling to make the effort required to implement the Company’s technology into their vehicle lines, in part because the cost to produce consumer vehicles has continued to increase, interfering with OEM profitability. Indeed, on several occasions, the Company’s OEM partners have effectively or explicitly terminated projects at the transition to production phase because the OEMs could not deliver vehicles with LiDAR at a reasonable price point due to the added cost and complexity of integrating the technology. Without substantial consumer demand for LiDAR technology, once an OEM understands the amount of work, time, and testing required to integrate the LiDAR technology into its vehicle systems for the first time, there is little incentive to follow through on development or production requests.

As with any complex, life-saving technology, LiDAR is costly to develop and implement, and will remain so until it is produced at scale. LiDAR companies based in China have changed the market landscape as they benefit from significant government subsidies that mitigate the sale, production, and software integration costs of LiDAR technology. Consequently, China-based LiDAR companies have been able to implement the technology into substantially more vehicles at lower price points as compared to LiDAR companies based in the United States or Europe. Indeed, millions of cars are sold in China with LiDAR-enabled features while OEMs in the United States are waiting for the cost of LiDAR technology to decrease or may consider purchasing the technology directly from China in the future.

The macroeconomic condition of the automative market has also proved challenging, as OEMs are pushing new contracts out to the end of the decade. The advent of U.S. tariff policies in 2025 introduced additional volatility into the market generally. Finally, the domestic stock market’s demand for companies focused on LiDAR technology and autonomous vehicles remains in flux.

B.	FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The Company has incurred net losses on an annual basis since inception. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred net losses of $273.1 million, $571.3 million, and $445.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2.4 billion. The Company expects to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future due to low expected sale volumes of LiDAR technology,⁹ continued investments in product and software development, efforts to build customer relations, expansion into additional markets, and investments in developing advanced manufacturing capabilities, including contract manufacturing partners.

C.	LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL RAISING INITIATIVES

In the face of dwindling liquidity, looming debt maturities, and an insufficient revenue model, the Company executed multiple transactions to address its balance sheet and enhance liquidity.

⁹	While all sales of LiDAR products outside of sales to Volvo are profitable on a gross margin basis, sale volumes are not high enough to achieve net profitability.

As of mid-2024, the Company faced over $600 million in Unsecured Notes maturing in December 2026. As of Q2 2024, the Company had $211.3 million of available cash and liquidity (collectively, “Cash & Liquidity”), including cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and up to $50 million of borrowings available under the St. James Bank Facilities that was not drawn upon. To extend its maturity runway and raise more capital, the Company entered into discussions with certain holders of Unsecured Notes. On August 6, 2024, Luminar, the Notes Guarantors, and certain holders of the Unsecured Notes entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Transaction”), pursuant to which Luminar exchanged $421.9 million in aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Notes for $274.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 2L Notes, specifically (i) $82.3 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 1 Notes and (ii) $192.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2 Notes. Concurrently with the Exchange Transaction, the Company issued $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 1L Notes for $97 million of cash consideration. The Company’s costs related to the Exchange Transaction included, but were not limited to, accrued interest payable to holders of Unsecured Notes who participated in the Exchange Transaction. The Exchange Transaction and the 1L Notes financing together lowered the Company’s total debt amount, pushed out near-term maturities, and raised additional capital. Following the completion of the Exchange Transaction and the 1L Notes financing, the Company increased its guidance for year-end 2024 Cash & Liquidity from greater than $150 million to greater than $240 million. More information on the Exchange Transaction is publicly available in the Company’s 8-K filed on August 6, 2024.

To address its maturity and liquidity needs further, the Company entered into a series of private transactions with individual noteholders to address a portion of the remaining outstanding Unsecured Notes in advance of the relevant maturity date. To that end, on March 23, 2025, Luminar entered into separate, individually negotiated private exchange agreements with certain holders of Unsecured Notes, pursuant to which the holders exchanged $18.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Notes for shares of Luminar’s Class A common stock, plus, in certain circumstances, cash in respect of accrued and unpaid interest on the exchanged Unsecured Notes. Then on May 22, 2025, Luminar entered into separate, individually negotiated private exchange agreements and private repurchase agreements with certain holders of Unsecured Notes, pursuant to which (i) the holders exchanged $6.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Notes for shares of Luminar’s Class A common stock and (ii) Luminar repurchased $43.8 million in aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Notes for an aggregate of $30.2 million in cash consideration.

As a result of these transactions, the Company was able to reduce the principal on its Unsecured Notes maturing in 2026 by hundreds of millions of dollars. The Company also raised significant equity capital under its Yorkville and ATM facilities. However, these efforts proved insufficient in the long term to fix the Company’s balance sheet issues and overcome the industry and operational challenges it faced.

D.	KEY EMPLOYEE RETENTION PROGRAM

Prior to the Petition Date, the Company faced concerns about key employee attrition and alignment of incentives given the enormous additional burdens on Company’s senior management team and other key employees in connection with the comprehensive exploration of out-of-court options, the ongoing sale and marketing process, and the preparation for a chapter 11 filing, and the likely continued demand on such key employees during these chapter 11 cases. In response, the Company implemented a key employee retention program (“KERP”) for fifteen (15) key employees (the “KERP Participants”), to ensure that such employees remain with the Company and align their interests with the Company to facilitate value maximization in these chapter 11 cases. The KERP collectively provided for the payment of approximately $4.0 million in the aggregate, which amount was paid in full on December 5, 2025 to the KERP Participants. The payments to the KERP Participants are subject to claw-back, should a KERP Participant (i) voluntarily terminate their employment (as described in each KERP agreement) prior to the earlier of (a) twelve (12) months following the effective date of the applicable KERP agreement and (b) the date of consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets or a recapitalization or restructuring of all or substantially all of the equity and/or debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, including under chapter 11, or (ii) be terminated by the Company for cause.

E.	OPERATIONAL RESTRUCTURING EFFORTS

In addition to these balance sheet initiatives, the Company took active steps throughout 2024 to decrease operating costs, including implementing an internal restructuring and cost reduction plan that, among other things, reduced the Company’s workforce and sub-leased certain facilities. On October 29, 2025, the Company implemented another plan to decrease its workforce by approximately 25% to reduce operating costs further. In addition, as liquidity became tighter, the Company made the difficult decision to stop payments to some suppliers, leading some to terminate contracts and assert claims, including Celestica, as described herein.

In parallel to these chapter 11 cases, the Debtors and their Advisors have been evaluating and planning for the ultimate wind down of their non-Debtor subsidiaries, including certain foreign subsidiaries. As part of the Debtors’ $3.0 million Wind Down Budget, the Debtors have allocated an estimated $450,000 to costs associated with winding down non-Debtor subsidiaries. Any residual value at these entities is assumed to be distributed to Luminar and made available for distribution under the Plan. In addition to the wind down costs for the non-Debtor subsidiaries, the Debtors’ Wind Down Budget contemplates costs for counsel, the liquidating agent, claims agent, tax preparation, U.S. Trustee fees, and other costs.

F.	PURSUIT OF STRATEGIC AND SALE TRANSACTIONS

In January 2025, the Company retained Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) to respond to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and assist the Company as it considered various strategic alternatives. As additional unsolicited inbounds expressing interest in acquiring the Company surfaced over the spring and summer of 2025, the Company and Jefferies worked with the various counterparties to advance a potential transaction, including management meetings and the facilitation of diligence. No actionable transaction arose from these efforts.

In September 2025, Jefferies initiated a process to explore a potential business combination for the Company or LiDARCo. That same month, the Company began to explore options for a comprehensive restructuring solution and engaged Weil, Gotshal and Manges (“Weil”) and Triple P TRS, LLC (“Portage Point”) to assist with those efforts along with Jefferies. In October 2025, the Company expanded the scope of Jefferies’ engagement to include the exploration of various restructuring alternatives, including a divestiture of LSICo.

Facing the likely need to restructure the Company’s balance sheet, in the months leading up to these cases, the Company and its Advisors approached certain of its secured noteholders to form a group and retain advisors to engage in discussions with the Company regarding potential solutions to the Company’s balance sheet and liquidity issues. This outreach resulted in the formation of an ad hoc group of secured noteholders (the “Ad Hoc Noteholder Group”), which currently consists of holders of approximately 91.3% of the Company’s 1L Notes and approximately 85.9% of the Company’s 2L Notes. The Ad Hoc Noteholder Group engaged Ropes & Gray LLP and Ducera Partners LLC as its legal and financial advisors (the “Ad Hoc Noteholder Group Advisors”). Since then, the Company and its Advisors have coordinated closely with the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group and the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group Advisors regarding potential in-court and out-of-court options.

In October 2025, the Company began engaging with the newly formed Ad Hoc Noteholder Group through the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group Advisors, providing them with extensive diligence concerning the Company, its operations, and the strategic alternatives it was exploring. Subsequently, the members of the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group executed non-disclosure agreements and became restricted to negotiate a restructuring transaction.

Early in these discussions, the Company presented the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group Advisors with a “liquidity maximization forecast” to demonstrate the potential liquidity savings that could be realized from an early November chapter 11 filing. In response, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group Advisors encouraged the Company to continue exploring out-of-court solutions, while also seeking a stalking horse purchaser for a potential chapter 11 sale process. The Company likewise recognized that an out-of-court transaction, if a viable one could be found, could provide the greatest benefit to its stakeholders and that filing chapter 11 with a stalking horse bidder was preferable to filing without one.

To preserve liquidity while providing additional time to negotiate a restructuring transaction and explore other strategic transactions, the Board authorized the Company to elect not to make interest payments due on its 1L and 2L Notes in October and November. To avoid the exercise of remedies upon the occurrence of events of default for failing to make such interest payments when due after the respective applicable grace periods, the Company entered into a series of forbearance agreements with the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group. The negotiations with respect to one of the forbearance extensions resulted in the appointment of Ms. Robin Chiu from Portage Point as Chief Restructuring Officer.

In its efforts to find buyers or partners, Jefferies contacted over 100 strategic and financial prospective buyers and received a number of proposals. One such proposal was an October 14, 2025, non-binding proposal from Russell AI Labs (“Russell AI”) to acquire the Company and combine it with a larger global automotive technology company (the “Russell Proposal”). On October 16, 2025, Mr. Russell filed a Schedule 13D with the SEC, disclosing high level details of the Russell Proposal. The Company and its Advisors carefully considered the Russell Proposal, provided feedback to Mr. Russell and his advisors, and continued to engage with them until just a few days before the Petition Date. In its various iterations, the Russell AI proposals involved substantial execution risk, including requiring near unanimous consent of all noteholders, a shareholder vote, and capital to bridge the Company to a closing, as well as regulatory risk.

In early October 2025, Jefferies contacted Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi) to discuss LSICo as part of its marketing process. On October 31, 2025, QCi submitted an indication of interest to acquire the equity of LSICo on an out-of-court basis for $100 million and expressed that, with focused dedication from QCi and LSICo, the deal could be signed within two weeks.

On November 2, 2025, in exchange for QCi raising its purchase price to $110 million, the Company and QCi entered into an exclusivity agreement with a November 14, 2025 deadline. While the Company, QCi, and their Advisors worked to resolve issues and finalize documentation, they were unable to enter into a binding agreement by the deadline. As a result, the Company terminated the exclusivity agreement and continued marketing LSICo while still negotiating and trying to execute a binding definitive agreement with QCi.

QCi initially indicated it would be willing to consummate the transaction out of-court, and later clarified that it was unwilling to do so without the Company (the seller) demonstrating a comprehensive solution for its over-levered balance sheet.

Over the month and a half leading up to the Petition Date, the Company, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group, and their respective advisors dedicated their efforts to signing the QCi deal, as well as pursuing a solution for LiDARCo that would enable the Company to avoid chapter 11. In consultation with the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group, the Company and its Advisors engaged multiple interested parties regarding alternative paths in the months leading up to the Petition Date. During this time, the Company received several proposals to acquire the Company’s assets or invest in its capital structure and the Company and its Advisors exchanged non-binding term sheets with various parties in an attempt to reach a feasible out-of-court transaction. Each of those transactions would have required nearly unanimous creditor consent, including significant debt reduction or equitization of its 2L Notes and Unsecured Notes, and several of those proposals would have required shareholder consent and/or regulatory approvals. The processes to achieve those consents would have been time-consuming and the results uncertain. Moreover, those transactions would not have provided a solution for the Company’s significant unsecured trade and litigation debt.

Ultimately, the Company and QCi agreed the parties would consummate the transaction through a chapter 11 filing (with the stock of LSICo being sold as a Luminar Parent asset in a section 363 sale). QCi expressed that keeping LSICo itself out of chapter 11 was an important consideration, without which QCi would potentially not be interested in the transaction or offer a substantially lower purchase price. To keep the economics of the QCi deal, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group entered into a Forbearance and Transaction Support Agreement, dated December 15, 2025 (the “LSICo Transaction Support and Forbearance Agreements”), pursuant to which the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group agreed, in their capacities as holders of the 1L Notes and 2L Notes, to forbear from exercising remedies against the non-Debtor LSI entities prior to the sale and to take the necessary actions to ensure that the 1L Notes’ and 2L Notes’ liens and claims against the LSI entities would be released upon consummation of the sale. Such arrangement requires using the net proceeds of the QCi deal to make an offer to pay down the 1L Notes. In conversations with the Company’s Advisors, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group Advisors also confirmed that the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group understood that to gain the benefit of maximizing the value of its collateral through a chapter 11 case, it would have to fund the costs of chapter 11 through cash collateral, the LSI proceeds, or otherwise.

The Company’s arm’s length negotiations with QCI successfully culminated in the signed Stock Purchase Agreement, dated December 15, 2025, pursuant to which QCi served as a stalking horse for LSICo in the Debtors’ chapter 11 process.

IV.

KEY EVENTS DURING CHAPTER 11 CASES

A.	FIRST DAY PLEADINGS

On or around the Petition Date, the Debtors filed motions seeking various relief from the Bankruptcy Court to enable the Debtors to facilitate a smooth transition into chapter 11, minimize any disruptions to the Debtors’ operations, and aid in the ongoing sale and marketing efforts (collectively, the “First Day Pleadings”). A description of the First Day Pleadings is set forth in the Declaration of Robin Chiu in Support of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Petitions and First Day Relief (Docket No. 20).

On an interim basis, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to continue to use the Prepetition Secured Parties’ (as defined herein) cash collateral; use their existing cash management system, maintain existing business forms and intercompany arrangements, continue intercompany transactions, continue utilizing employee credit cards, and monetize or redeem investment assets; pay critical vendor claims, non-U.S. vendor claims, lien claims, and 503(b)(9) claims; and honor certain prepetition obligations to customers and continue customer programs in the ordinary course of business (Docket Nos. 42, 44, 47, and 48).

The Bankruptcy Court entered various orders authorizing the Debtors to, among other things:

•

pay certain prepetition taxes, fees, and assessments (Docket No. 46);

•

continue insurance programs and customs bonds, pay all obligations with respect thereto, and continue the processing of workers’ compensation claims (Docket No. 45);

•

pay prepetition wages, salaries, employee benefits, other compensation, and employee expenses and maintain employee benefits programs (Docket No. 43); and

•

establish notification procedures and approve restrictions on certain transfers of interest in and claims against the Debtors and certain worthless stock deduction claims (Docket No. 52).

On January 20, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the relief requested with respect to existing customer programs on a final basis (Docket No. 247). On that same date, the Bankruptcy Court also entered an order approving the relief requested with respect to payment of certain prepetition vendor claims on a final basis (Docket No. 248) (the “Final Vendor Order”). As January 30, 2026, the Debtors have made approximately $71,800 in payments to vendors pursuant to the Final Vendor Order. On January 26, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court entered an additional order granting the Debtors authority to maintain the existing cash management system and the ability to monetize or redeem investment assets on a final basis (Docket No. 284).

B.	CASH COLLATERAL

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Emergency Motion of Debtors for Interim and Final Orders (I) Authorizing the Debtors’ Use of Cash Collateral, (II) Granting Adequate Protection to the Prepetition Secured Parties, (III) Modifying The Automatic Stay, (IV) Scheduling a Final Hearing Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 4001(B), and (V) Granting Related Relief (the “Cash Collateral Motion”) (Docket No. 21), which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on an interim basis on December 16, 2025 (Docket No. 42). Following a hearing on January 27, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Cash Collateral Motion on a final basis (Docket No. 319) (the “Final Cash Collateral Order”), overruling the Creditors’ Committee’s objection to the budget. The budget approved in connection with the Final Cash Collateral Order was negotiated and agreed to by and between the Debtors and the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group. The Final Cash Collateral Order includes, as Exhibit 1 thereto, the current approved budget.

As set forth more fully in the Cash Collateral Motion, to support the sale process, the Debtors and Ad Hoc Noteholder Group, including the requisite Senior Secured Holders under the Senior Secured Notes Indentures (as defined in the Cash Collateral Motion), agreed to the terms under which the Debtors could continue to use cash on hand, substantially all of which constitutes the holders’ Cash Collateral, to operate in the ordinary course of business while marketing their businesses to obtain the highest and best bid and the most value-maximizing outcome possible for the Debtors and their stakeholders. The use of Cash Collateral provided the Debtors with the necessary liquidity to maintain their operations, pursue a sale of all or substantially all of their assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, and seek confirmation of a chapter 11 plan that provides an orderly wind down. In connection with the Global Settlement, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group has consented to the Debtors’ continued use of Cash Collateral through the Effective Date.

C.	COST-SAVING MEASURES

Since the commencement of these chapter 11 cases, the Debtors have continued to evaluate opportunities to minimize their operating costs and expenses, and right size their selling, general, and administrative expenses. This includes (i) a significant reduction in workforce to reduce operating costs, (ii) initial steps to wind down foreign operations, and (iii) other operational cost-cutting measures.

D.	FILING OF CONDOR ENTITIES

On December 31, 2025, Condor Subsidiaries each commenced voluntary cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On January 7, 2026, the Debtors filed the Emergency Motion of Debtors Requesting (I) Joint Administration of Additional Chapter 11 Cases and (II) That Certain Orders in the Chapter 11 Cases of Luminar Technologies, Inc., et al. Be Made Applicable to New Debtors (Docket No. 158) and simultaneously submitted the Declaration of Robin Chiu in Support of the Emergency Motion of Debtors Requesting (I) Joint Administration of Additional Chapter 11 Cases and (II) That Certain Orders in the Chapter 11 Cases of Luminar Technologies, Inc., et al. Be Made Applicable to New Debtors (Docket No. 159), requesting that the Bankruptcy Court (i) jointly administer the chapter 11 cases of the Condor Subsidiaries with those chapter 11 cases filed on December 15, 2025 (the “Initial Debtors’ Cases”) and (ii) direct all generally applicable (a) orders previously entered by the Court in the Initial Debtors’ Cases and (b) proposed orders sought in the Initial Debtors’ Cases, including any final orders with respect to preexisting orders that were currently pending before the Bankruptcy Court in the Initial Debtors’ Cases. Following a hearing on January 9, 2026 on the relief requested, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order directing joint administration and making certain orders applicable to the Condor Subsidiaries (Docket No. 176) (the “Condor Joint Administration Order”).

E.	ADDITIONAL MOTIONS AND APPLICATIONS

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed an application to retain Omni as claims, noticing, and solicitation agent (Docket No. 4). On December 16, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors’ retention of Omni as claims, noticing and solicitation agent (Docket No. 36).

The Debtors filed various other motions to further facilitate the smooth and efficient administration of the chapter 11 cases and reduce the administrative burdens associated therewith, including:

•

SOFAs and Schedules Extension Motion. The Debtors filed a motion and obtained authority from the Bankruptcy Court to extend the deadline to file (i) the statement of financial affairs (“SOFAs”) and schedule of assets and liabilities (“Schedules”) for each of the Debtors to January 12, 2026, and (ii) the 2015.3 Reports until February 7, 2026 (Docket Nos. 16, 54). The Debtors filed their SOFAs and Schedules on January 9, 2026 (Docket Nos. 181–190).

•

Ordinary Course Professionals Motion. The Debtors filed a motion and obtained authority to establish procedures for the retention and compensation of certain professionals utilized by the Debtors in the ordinary course of their business (Docket Nos. 201, 381).

•

Retention Applications and Interim Compensation. The Debtors filed several applications and received authority to retain various professionals to assist the Debtors in carrying out their duties under the Bankruptcy Code during these chapter 11 cases. These professionals include: (i) Weil, as restructuring counsel to the Debtors (Docket Nos. 197, 392), (ii) Portage Point, as restructuring advisor to the Debtors (Docket Nos. 198, 372), (iii) Jefferies, as investment banker to the Debtors (Docket Nos. 199, 383), and (iv) K&S, as special investigation co-counsel to the SIC (Docket Nos. 200, 380). In connection with such retentions, the Debtors filed a motion and received authority to establish procedures for the interim compensation and reimbursement of expenses of chapter 11 professionals (Docket Nos. 196, 373).

F.	TIMETABLE FOR CHAPTER 11 CASES

In light of the Debtors’ severely constrained liquidity and as a condition to their ability to use the Prepetition Secured Parties’ cash collateral, the Debtors have agreed to proceed on an expedited timeline to market their assets for sale and to confirm a Plan. The Final Cash Collateral Order established certain outside deadlines for certain key events to occur (the “Milestones”). On February 5, 2026 and February 13, 2026, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group extended certain Milestone dates pursuant to the Final Cash Collateral Order in furtherance of the Global Settlement negotiations. The extended Milestones are as follows:

Event	Governing Milestone
Approval of Disclosure Statement	February 19, 2026
Commencement of Plan Solicitation	February 24, 2026
Voting Deadline	March 24, 2026
Entry of Confirmation Order	April 3, 2026

G.	GLOBAL BIDDING PROCEDURES AND POSTPETITION SALE PROCESS

The Debtors have marketed for the sale of substantially all of their assets, including:

(i) Assets related to the Debtors’ Light Detector and Ranging-related business segment (collectively, the “LiDAR Assets”);

(ii) Equity interests in Luminar Semiconductor, Inc., the Debtors’ Advanced Technologies and Services business segment, which includes LSI’s chip design subsidiary companies, including OptoGration, Inc., Freedom Photonics LLC, and EM4, LLC (collectively the “LSI Assets”); and

(iii) Certain other assets of the Debtors as determined by the Debtors in their sole discretion.

Under the Bidding Procedures Order, parties were permitted to submit bids for any individual asset (or combination of assets), in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Global Bidding Procedures (as defined herein).

On December 18, 2025, the Debtors filed their proposed global bidding procedures (Docket No. 86-1) for the Debtors’ assets, including the equity of LSICo. On December 18, 2025, the Debtors filed the Bidding Procedures Motion (Docket No. 86), seeking (i) approval of (a) the Debtors’ global bidding procedures, (b) designation of stalking horse bid and stalking horse bidder, (c) form and manner of notice of sale, auction, and sale hearing, and (d) assumption and assignment procedures; (ii) authorization of the entry into the stalking horse agreement with QCi; (iii) authorization of the sale of the Debtors’ assets free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances; (v) approval of compliance with indenture in connection with sale including the use of net sale proceeds to pay down prepetition relief; and (vi) related relief. A hearing on the Bidding Procedures Motion was held on December 30, 2025, and the Bankruptcy Court entered the Bidding Procedures Order on the same date, approving the global bidding procedures contained therein (the “Global Bidding Procedures”).

The Bidding Procedures Order set forth key dates and deadlines for the sale process, which the Debtors adjusted from time to time, in accordance with the Global Bidding Procedures, to maximize value.

LSI Assets Sale Process

Prior to the Petition Date, QCi submitted a binding stalking horse bid (the “LSI Stalking Horse Bid”). The Company, in consultation with the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group, determined that the LSI Stalking Horse Bid presented the most value-maximizing transaction available for LSICo. On December 15, 2025, after a month and a half of negotiations, the Debtors executed the Stock Purchase Agreement with QCi (the “LSI Stalking Horse Agreement”) for the purchase of the LSI Assets. On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Notice of Filing of Stock Purchase Agreement, Bidding Procedures, and Related Documents (Docket No. 23), which attached, among other things, the signed Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which QCi served as the stalking horse bidder for the purchase of the LSI Assets. As set forth in the LSI Stalking Horse Agreement, QCi’s bid provides for the going-concern sale of the equity of LSICo for an aggregate purchase price of $110 million in cash, subject to adjustments. The LSI Stalking Horse Bid was subject to higher or otherwise better offers submitted in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Global Bidding Procedures (as defined herein).

The bid deadline for the LSI Assets was January 9, 2026, and no other bids were submitted for the LSI Assets. On January 14, 2026, following the bid deadline, the Debtors filed their Notice of (I) Quantum Computing, Inc. as Successful Bidder for LSI Assets and (II) Cancellation of Auction with Respect to LSI Assets (Docket No. 216). The LSI Stalking Horse Bid is expected to result in significant cash proceeds that the Debtors intend to use to pay down first lien debt.

On January 14, 2026, pursuant to the Global Bidding Procedures, the Debtors announced that QCi’s LSI Stalking Horse Agreement was the successful bid for the LSI Assets and would be presented for approval at the January 27, 2026 sale hearing. The Debtors received no formal or informal objections by the January 20, 2026 sale objection deadline. At the January 27, 2026 sale hearing, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors’ entry into the LSI Stalking Horse Agreement with QCi (the “LSI Sale Transaction”).

In furtherance of the closing of the LSI Sale Transaction, on February 2, 2026, Luminar and LSI entered into that certain Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”), pursuant to which Luminar, as service provider, agreed to provide or cause to be provided certain services and other assistance to LSI, as service recipient, on a transitional basis and in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date or any provisions of the Plan or Confirmation Order, any obligations of LTI under the TSA shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and the LSI Sale Order. For the avoidance of doubt, the TSA shall not be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date.

LiDAR Assets Sale Process

Shortly before the initial bid deadline, the Debtors received a bid from QCi for the LiDAR Assets, which bid was separate from QCi’s LSI Stalking Horse Bid. The Debtors and their advisors began negotiating the terms of a qualified bid for the LiDAR Assets with QCi, but were unable to reach an executed agreement by the initial bid deadline. On January 8, 2026, the Debtors extended the bid deadline for the LiDAR Assets from January 9, 2026 to January 12, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) (the “LiDAR Assets Bid Deadline”).

On January 11, 2026, the Debtors designated QCi as the stalking horse bidder (the “LiDAR Stalking Horse Bidder,” and the bid submitted by QCi, the “LiDAR Stalking Horse Bid”) for the LiDAR Assets pursuant to and as set forth in that certain Purchase Agreement (the “LiDAR Stalking Horse Agreement”) by and between Luminar Technologies, Inc. and QCi, dated January 11, 2026. The LiDAR Stalking Horse Agreement provided for cash consideration in the amount of $22 million, adjusted in accordance with the terms of the LiDAR Stalking Horse Agreement. The LiDAR Stalking Horse Bid was subject to higher or better offers in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order and the Global Bidding Procedures. Additionally, the LiDAR Stalking Horse Agreement further obligated the LiDAR Seller to pay QCi a break-up fee in an amount equal to (i) three percent (3%) of the Closing Cash Consideration plus (ii) the amount of the reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented expenses of QCi incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated by the LiDAR Stalking Horse Agreement for the LiDAR Assets up to an aggregate amount of $500,000 in the event that the LiDAR Stalking Horse Agreement was validly terminated by the LiDAR Seller and the LiDAR Seller consummates an alternative transaction. The Debtors received two additional bids for the LiDAR Assets by the LiDAR Assets Bid Deadline. Following the submission of these bids, the Debtors and their advisors worked with the bidders to improve the bids such that they would become “Qualified Bids”. At the same time, the Debtors received communications from other parties that expressed an interest in the LiDAR Assets. As a result, the Debtors extended the Bid Deadline to Friday, January 23, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) and moved the auction to January 26, 2026.

The Debtors held an auction for the LiDAR Assets on January 26, 2026. At the auction, the Debtors determined that the highest or best offer was submitted by MicroVision for the purchase of all or substantially all of the Debtors’ LiDAR Assets for an aggregate cash purchase price of $33 million plus certain assumed liabilities (subject to certain purchase price adjustments (the “Successful Bid”), and the second highest or best offer was submitted by QCi for the sale of all of the Debtors’ LiDAR Assets for an aggregate cash purchase price of $28.78 million plus assumption of certain liabilities (subject to certain purchase price adjustments) (the “Back-Up Bid”). The Debtors and MicroVision subsequently entered into that certain Purchase Agreement By and Between MicroVision, Inc. and Luminar Technologies, Inc., dated January 26, 2026 (the “MicroVision Purchase Agreement”). The Debtors filed their Notice of Designation of Successful Bid and Back-Up Bid for LiDAR Assets (Docket No. 286) on January 27, 2026.

At the January 27, 2026 sale hearing, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors’ entry into the MicroVision Purchase Agreement with MicroVision (the “LiDAR Sale Transaction”, and, together with the LSI Sale Transaction, the “Sale Transactions”). On January 29, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Approving the Sale of the LSI Assets Free and Clear of Liens, Claims, Interests and Encumbrances; (II) Approving Compliance with Indenture in Connection with Sale Including Use of Net Sale Proceeds to Offer to Purchase Certain Prepetition Secured Debt from Holders Thereof in Accordance with the Asset Sale Offers; and (III) Granting Related Relief (Docket No. 320). On January 30, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Approving the Sale of the LiDAR Assets Free and Clear of Liens, Claims, Interests and Encumbrances; and (II) Granting Related Relief (Docket No. 329).

In addition, in furtherance of the closing of the LiDAR Sale Transaction, on February 3, 2026, Luminar and MicroVision entered into that certain Amendment #1 to the Purchase Agreement (the “LiDAR Sale Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to provide or cause to be provided certain services and other assistance to the other parties and its affiliates, on a transitional basis and in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date or any provisions of the Plan or Confirmation Order, any obligations of the parties under the LiDAR Sale Amendment shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and the LiDAR Sale Order. For the avoidance of doubt, the LiDAR Sale Amendment shall not be deemed rejected as of the Effective Date.

Asset Sale Offer¹⁰

The closing of the LSI Sale Transaction on February 2, 2026 constituted an “Asset Sale” as defined in the 1L Notes Indenture and, as a result, the LSI Sale Transaction is subject to, and must comply with, Section 3.12 of the 1L Notes Indenture (the “Asset Sale Covenant”), which governs the application of the net proceeds from any Asset Sale. Under the Asset Sale Covenant, to the extent net proceeds exceed the specified de minimis threshold following the applicable reinvestment period, Luminar Parent is required to use such net proceeds to offer to purchase outstanding 1L Notes in an amount in cash equal to 103% of the principal amount so purchased, prepaid or redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount to the date of purchase (the “Asset Sale Offer”). Unlike the LSI Sale Transaction, the LiDAR Sale Transaction involved a sale of the Debtors’ assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, while the LiDAR Sale Transaction would ordinarily constitute an “Asset Sale” that gives rise to an asset sale offer under both the 1L Notes Indenture and the 2L Notes Indenture, any such requirement was superseded by the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

In accordance with the terms of the 1L Notes Indenture and the LSICo Transaction Support and Forbearance Agreements, which provides that the Asset Sale Offer must be made within ten (10) business days following the closing of the LSI Sale Transaction, the Debtors launched the Asset Sale Offer on February 6, 2026. The Asset Sale Offer must be conducted in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, including the tender offer rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which require that the Asset Sale Offer remain open for a specified period and that tendering holders be paid promptly following expiration of the Asset Sale Offer. The Debtors expect to close the Asset Sale Offer on or about March 11, 2026.

H.	STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES, AND CLAIMS BAR DATES

Pursuant to section 521 of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule 1007 of the Bankruptcy Rules, on December 15, 2025, the Debtors filed the Motion of Debtors for Entry of an Order Extending Time to File (I) Schedules of Assets and Liabilities, (II) Statements of Financial Affairs, and (III) Rule 2015.3 Reports (Docket No. 16). On December 16, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Extending Time to File (I) Schedules of Assets and Liabilities, (II) Statements of Financial Affairs, and (III) Rule 2015.3 Reports (Docket No. 54). The Debtors filed their (i) schedules of assets and liabilities and (ii) statements of financial affairs on January 9, 2026 (Docket Nos. 181–190).

Pursuant to sections 105(a), 501, 502, 503, and 1111(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 3003(c)(3), and 5005(a), on the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Emergency Motion of Debtors for Order (I) Establishing Deadlines to File Proofs of Claim, and (II) Approving Form and Manner of Notice Thereof (Docket No. 15) (the “Bar Date Motion”) setting forth proposed deadlines for filing certain proofs of claim, which was served on all known parties-in-interest in these chapter 11 cases. A hearing on the Bar Date Motion was held on December 30, 2025. On the same date, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Establishing Deadlines to File Proofs of Claim and (II) Approving Form and Manner of Notice Thereof (Docket No. 118) (the “Bar Date Order”). The Bar Date Order sets forth the following deadlines in these chapter 11 cases:

¹⁰	Capitalized terms in this section IV.G.3. that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Bidding Procedures Motion.

•

February 4, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) as the deadline for all persons and entities (excluding Governmental Units) holding potential claims against the Debtors or their estates that arose or are deemed to have arisen prior to the Petition Date, including secured claims, unsecured priority claims, unsecured non-priority claims, and claims arising under section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “General Bar Date”);

•

June 15, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. (Central Time) as the deadline for all Governmental Units (as defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code) holding potential claims against the Debtors or their estate (the “Governmental Bar Date”). The Governmental Bar Date applies to all Governmental Units holding claims against the Debtors (whether secured, unsecured priority, or unsecured non-priority) that arose prior to the Petition Date, including Governmental Units with claims against the Debtors for unpaid taxes, whether such claims arise from prepetition tax years or periods or prepetition transactions to which the Debtors were a party;

•

the later of (i) the General Bar Date or the Governmental Bar Date, as applicable, or (ii) as applicable, (y) the date that is thirty (30) days following the filing of the Schedules or (z) the date that is thirty (30) days after service of a notice of the applicable amendment or supplement to the Schedules on such affected claimant (the “Amended Schedule Bar Date”); and

•

the later of (i) the General Bar Date or the Governmental Bar Date, as applicable, or (ii) thirty (30) days after entry of an order of the Court authorizing the Debtors’ rejection of the applicable executory contract or unexpired lease, as the deadline by which Proofs of Claim in connection with the Rejection Damages Claims shall be filed so that they are received by Omni (the “Rejection Bar Date”).

Pursuant to the Condor Joint Administration Order, the dates set forth in the Bar Date Order are also applicable to the Condor Subsidiaries.

The General Bar Date passed on February 4, 2026. As of the date hereof, approximately 203 Proofs of Claim have been Filed against the Debtors. The Debtors continue to review and refine its analysis of the filed Proofs of Claim.

I.	ADVERSARY PROCEEDINGS

Puttagunta Adversary Proceeding

In early January, Shanmukha Sravan Puttagunta, a former stockholder of Solfice commenced an adversary proceeding against Debtors Luminar, Condor I, and Condor II, captioned Adv. Proc. No. 26-03008 (the “Puttagunta Adversary Proceeding”). In his adversary complaint (the “Complaint”), Mr. Puttagunta challenged the validity of the June 2022 asset sale of the Civil Maps assets to Luminar under Delaware statutory law. Mr. Puttagunta’s papers were docketed, thereby commencing the adversary proceeding, on January 13, 2026. On the same date, the Clerk of Court docketed three (3) additional filings from Mr. Puttagunta seeking emergency relief (i) from the automatic stay, (ii) for a temporary restraining order, (iii) for interim status-quo relief (Adv. Proc. Docket Nos. 2–4) (collectively, the “Emergency Motions”).

On January 13, 2026, the Debtors filed a motion to dismiss (Adv. Proc. Docket No. 7) (the “Motion to Dismiss”), requesting that the Bankruptcy Court dismiss the Complaint in its entirety with prejudice. Additionally, the Debtors filed an objection to the Emergency Motions on January 18, 2026 (Adv. Proc. Docket No. 9).

The Bankruptcy Court held a hearing on January 21, 2026 to consider the relief requested in the Emergency Motions and the Motion to Dismiss. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Bankruptcy Court denied Mr. Puttagunta’s request for relief from the automatic stay. On January 27, 2026, in an oral ruling, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors’ Motion to Dismiss (Adv. Proc. Docket No. 48), dismissing the Puttagunta Adversary Proceeding immediately.

NEXT Semiconductor Technologies, Inc. Adversary Proceeding

On June 20, 2025, Luminar, as lender, and NEXT Semiconductor Technologies, Inc. (“NEXT”), as borrower, entered into a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “NEXT Note”). Pursuant to the NEXT Note, Luminar and NEXT agreed to a fixed-term loan (the “Loan”) to NEXT in an initial aggregate principal amount of $2,200,000 with a maturity date of December 19, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”). The NEXT Note further provided Luminar a continuing first-priority security interest in collateral, which includes substantially all of NEXT’s personal property.

On the Maturity Date, the Loan matured, triggering an obligation by NEXT to return the currently outstanding Principal Amount and accrued but uncapitalized interest to Luminar. NEXT acknowledged the occurrence of the Maturity Date and admitted that it did not remit payment as the NEXT Note required due to other disputes between the parties and the Company’s bankruptcy filing. On January 7, 2026, Luminar notified NEXT that it was in default on the NEXT Note. NEXT stated it was in the process of raising funds and expected and committed to paying off the NEXT Note within 90 days. Although NEXT has repeatedly told Luminar it hopes to raise funds, Luminar has no real assurances that NEXT actually intends to pay its debt.

As a result, the Debtors commenced an adversary proceeding against NEXT, captioned Adv. Proc. No. 26-03019 (the “NEXT Adversary Proceeding”) on January 28, 2026. In the adversary complaint, the Debtors requested turnover of the undisputed overdue and presently owing amounts under the NEXT Note, including the principal amount of the NEXT Note, accrued interest on the NEXT Note, and accrued default interest, each as pursuant to the NEXT Note.

J.	SIC INVESTIGATION

As described herein, the Board established the SIC on November 12, 2025. The SIC is authorized to, among other things, review, evaluate, pursue, negotiate, approve, and authorize any disposition of any potential claims or causes of action against any of the Board’s current, former, or future director, officer, insider, affiliate, or other related party (collectively, the “Related Parties”). The SIC, as advised by Weil and K&S, conducted an investigation of certain acts, omissions, transactions and potential claims and causes of action involving or related to certain Related Parties of Luminar Technologies, Inc. and its affiliates (the “Investigation”). Specifically, the SIC investigated any and all potential claims and causes of action the Debtors may have against any of its current directors, officers, insiders, affiliates and certain Related Parties, including claims and causes of action for breaches of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, voidable transfers and preferential transfers that the Debtors might have against the Debtors’ current directors and officers.

As of the date hereof, the SIC has concluded its Investigation. The SIC and its counsel obtained nearly three million documents and reviewed nearly one million documents, including, among other things, emails and text messages, relevant public filings, Board materials and minutes (including Board committee materials and minutes), employment agreements for certain officers, and complaints filed against current and former directors and officers of the Debtors, from the Debtors and certain current and former directors and officers. The SIC also filed a motion under Bankruptcy Rule 2004 and served a subpoena on Austin Russell in connection with the Investigation (Docket No. 132). The SIC’s counsel also interviewed more than a dozen Related Parties, including the current outside directors, current officers, current and certain former advisors to the Debtors.

As a result of the Investigation, the SIC has determined that there are not colorable causes of action that the Debtors may have against their current directors and officers except for Austin Russell.

As a result of the Investigation, the SIC has further determined that the Non-Released Parties shall include (i) Austin Russell and (ii) any director or officer who was a former director or officer of a Debtor as of the Petition Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Non-Released Parties do not include the individuals identified as the Current Directors and Officers.¹¹ Counsel to the SIC shared the results of its Investigation with the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group and the Creditors’ Committee. In addition, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group and the Creditors’ Committee consent to the releases set forth in the Plan, including specifically the releases of the Current Directors and Officers. The Non-Released Parties Schedule is attached to the Plan at Exhibit A.

K.	CREDITORS’ COMMITTEE INVESTIGATION

The Creditors’ Committee is conducting an ongoing investigation into certain of the Debtors’ prepetition transactions, as well as the liens and claims asserted by the First Lien Noteholders and Second Lien Noteholders. The Creditors’ Committee’s investigation is ongoing and, as a result, may identify additional unencumbered property. Under the Global Settlement, the Creditors’ Committee’s challenge period is tolled until the Effective Date of the Plan. The Debtors, Creditors’ Committee, and the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group agreed under the Final Cash Collateral Order that (i) commercial tort claims; (ii) the Debtors’ Citibank investment account number ending in x04259 and the proceeds thereof; and (iii) all assets and property that constitute “Excluded Collateral” (as defined in the Prepetition SSN Documents) are carved out of the definition of “Collateral” and are thus unencumbered.

L.	COMMON STOCK

Luminar Technologies, Inc. was publicly traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “LAZR.” Following the Petition Date, on December 17, 2025, Luminar Technologies, Inc. received written notice from the staff of Nasdaq notifying Luminar Technologies, Inc. that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, Nasdaq determined that Luminar Technologies, Inc.’s Class A common stock would be delisted from Nasdaq and that trading of Luminar Technologies, Inc.’s Class A common stock would be suspended at the opening of business on December 24, 2025. Luminar Technologies, Inc.’s Class A common stock was subsequently delisted from Nasdaq. Nasdaq filed a Form 25-NSE with the SEC on January 23, 2026.

As of December 24, 2025, Luminar Technologies, Inc.’s Class A common stock trades on the OTC Market under the symbol “LAZRQ”. As of January 23, 2026, Luminar Technologies, Inc. had approximately 75,153,311 shares of Class A common stock and approximately 4,872,578 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.

¹¹	As defined in the Plan, “Current Directors and Officers” means Elizabeth Abrams, Yarden Amsalem, Thomas Beaudoin, Robin Chiu, Patricia Ferrari, Alexander Fishkin, Alec Gores, Mary Lou Jepsen, Shaun Maguire, Katharine A. Martin, Paul Ricci, Dominick Schiano, Matthew Simoncini, and Daniel Tempesta.

V.

SECURITIES LAWS EXEMPTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

The offer, issuance, and distribution of the Parent Debtor Additional Stock pursuant to Section 5.4(c) of the Plan will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act provides that the issuance of securities by an issuer in transactions not involving a public offering are exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Such securities shall be subject to the injunction set forth in Article XI of the Plan and shall not be transferrable.

Any beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Trust Interests) or any right to receive a distribution from the Liquidation Trust shall not be evidenced by any certificate, security, receipt, or in any other form or manner whatsoever, except as maintained on the books and records of the Liquidation Trust by the Liquidation Trustee. Further, any beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Trust Interests) or any right to receive a distribution from the Liquidation Trust shall be nontransferable and non-assignable except by will, intestate, succession, or operation of law. Any beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Trust Interests) or any right to receive a distribution from the Liquidation Trust shall not constitute securities and shall not be registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However, if it is determined that such beneficial interests (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Trust Interests) or rights constitute securities, the exemption provisions of section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code will be satisfied and the offer and sale under the Plan of the Liquidation Trust Interests will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and all applicable state and local securities laws and regulations.

VI.

CERTAIN RISK FACTORS AFFECTING DEBTORS

Before voting to accept or reject the Plan, holders of Claims and Interests should read and carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, in addition to the information set forth in this Disclosure Statement.

THIS SECTION PROVIDES INFORMATION REGARDING POTENTIAL RISKS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLAN. THE FACTORS BELOW SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS THE ONLY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLAN OR ITS IMPLEMENTATION. NEW FACTORS, RISKS, AND UNCERTAINTIES EMERGE FROM TIME TO TIME AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PREDICT ALL SUCH FACTORS, RISKS, AND UNCERTAINTIES.

A.	CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY LAW CONSIDERATIONS

Risk Related to Termination of Consensual Use of Cash Collateral

All of the Debtors’ cash on hand as of the Petition Date constitutes the cash collateral of the Prepetition Secured Parties (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order). In the event of a breach of one of the milestones or another occurrence of an event of default under the Final Cash Collateral Order, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group may terminate the Debtors’ right to use Cash Collateral (as defined therein) and, absent the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group’s consent or the Debtors’ successfully seeking a Bankruptcy Court order permitting the nonconsensual use of cash collateral, the Debtors would not have access to the liquidity needed to continue these chapter 11 cases. In such case, the Debtors may need to seek alternative postpetition financing, which may be difficult to obtain, and absent finding an alternative source of liquidity, the Debtors would be unlikely to confirm and consummate the Plan and may need to convert their chapter 11 cases into cases under chapter 7.

Risk of Non-Confirmation of Plan

Although the Debtors believe that the Plan will satisfy all requirements necessary for confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion or that modifications to the Plan will not be required for confirmation or that such modifications would not necessitate re-solicitation of votes.

Moreover, the Debtors can make no assurances that they will receive the requisite votes for acceptance to confirm the Plan. Even if all holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote in favor of the Plan vote in favor of the Plan or the requirements for “cramdown” are met with respect to any Class that rejects the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court could decline to confirm the Plan if it finds that any of the statutory requirements for confirmation (including under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code) are not met. If the Plan is not confirmed, it is unclear what distributions holders of Claims or Interests ultimately would receive with respect to their Claims or Interests in a subsequent plan.

Risk of Non-Consensual Confirmation

In the event any Impaired Class of Claims or Interests entitled to vote on the Plan does not accept the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court may nevertheless confirm the Plan at the proponent’s request if at least one Impaired¹² Class¹³ has accepted the Plan (with such acceptance being determined without including the vote of any “insider” in such Class), and as to each Impaired Class that has not accepted the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court determines that the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to the dissenting Impaired Classes. Should any Class vote to reject the Plan, these requirements must be satisfied with respect to such rejecting Class. The Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies these requirements, to the extent applicable.

Risk of Non-Occurrence of Effective Date

Although the Debtors believe that the Effective Date will occur soon after the Confirmation Date, there can be no assurance as to the timing of the Effective Date. If the conditions precedent to the Effective Date set forth in the Plan have not occurred or have not been waived as set forth in Article X of the Plan, then the Confirmation Order may be vacated, in which event no distributions would be made under the Plan, the Debtors and all holders of Claims or Interests would be restored to the status quo as of the day immediately preceding the Confirmation Date, and the Debtors’ obligations with respect to Claims and Interests would remain unchanged.

Alternative Transactions

¹²	“Impaired” means, with respect to a Claim, Interest, or a Class of Claims or Interests, “impaired” within the meaning of such term in section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code.

¹³	“Class” means any group of Claims or Interests classified under the Plan pursuant to section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

If the Plan cannot be confirmed, or if the Bankruptcy Court otherwise finds that it would be in the best interest of holders of Claims and Interests, the Debtors thereafter will consider all available restructuring alternatives, including filing an alternative chapter 11 plan or converting to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to which a trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate the Debtors’ assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. The terms of any alternative restructuring proposal may be less favorable to holders of Claims and Interests against the Debtors than the terms of the Plan as described in this Disclosure Statement.

Risks Related to Possible Objections to Plan

There is a risk that certain parties could oppose and object to either the entirety of the Plan or specific provisions of the Plan. Although the Debtors believe that the Plan complies with all relevant Bankruptcy Code provisions, there can be no guarantee that a party in interest will not file an objection to the Plan or that the Bankruptcy Court will not sustain such an objection.

Global Settlement May Not Be Approved

As described more fully above, the Plan incorporates a proposed Global Settlement among the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, and the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group. However, the Global Settlement remains subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Such approval may not be obtained.

Releases, Injunctions, and Exculpation Provisions May Not Be Approved

Article XI of the Plan provides for certain releases, injunctions, and exculpations, for Claims and Causes of Action that may otherwise be asserted against the Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties, as applicable. The releases, injunctions, and exculpations provided in the Plan are subject to objection by parties in interest and may not be approved. If the releases and exculpations are not approved, certain parties may not be considered Releasing Parties, Released Parties, or Exculpated Parties, and certain Released Parties or Exculpated Parties may withdraw their support for the Plan.

Claims Could Be More than Projected

There can be no assurance that the estimated Allowed amount of Claims in certain Classes will not be significantly more than projected, which, in turn, could cause the value of distributions to be reduced substantially. Inevitably, some assumptions will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may affect the ultimate results. Therefore, the actual amount of Allowed Claims may vary from the Debtors’ projections and the variation may be material.

10.

Participation in the Asset Sale Offer Could be Less Than Anticipated

Distributions to the parties pursuant to the Plan could be less than projected. Specifically, the estimated recoveries assume that at least 80% of the First Lien Noteholders participate in the Asset Sale Offer, described in section IV.G.3. hereof. The actual results of the Asset Sale Offer could vary materially, in which case, actual recoveries under the Plan could materially differ.

11.

Distributions

While the Debtors have endeavored to project what they believe are likely distributions to be made to parties holding Allowed Claims and Interests, there can be no certainty that the projections will be accurate and that holders will receive the distributions described in the Plan. The projections will necessarily be affected by, among other things, (i) recoveries generated in connection with the liquidation of all of the Debtors’ remaining assets, (ii) the outcome of objections to Claims, and (iii) the cost and expenses of such actions and generally administering and winding down the Debtors’ Estates.

12.

Administrative Insolvency

Section 1129(a)(9)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code states that in order for a chapter 11 plan to be confirmed, it must provide that each holder of an allowed claim brought under section 507(a)(2) or 507(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code (i.e., allowed administrative expense claims) receive cash equal to the full allowed amount of such claim, unless such holder agrees to different treatment. Additionally, section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code states that in order for a chapter 11 plan to be confirmed, it must provide that each holder of an allowed claim entitled to priority under section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (i.e., allowed priority tax claims) receive regular installment payments in cash of a total value equal to the allowed amount of such claim over a period ending not later than five (5) years after the petition date, and in a manner that is not less favorable than the most favored nonpriority unsecured claim under such plan. Finally, other priority claims may similarly be required to receive a certain treatment under section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code (such as cash equal to the full allowed amount of such claim).

The Debtors presently believe that they have sufficient cash to pay all Allowed Administrative Expense Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, and Other Priority Claims, or that they will be able to reach agreements with the holders of such Claims as to any different treatment of such Claims, as necessary. However, if the Debtors are administratively insolvent, then the Bankruptcy Court may not confirm the Plan and the Bankruptcy Court may convert the chapter 11 cases to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, either or both of which possible outcomes would likely entail significantly greater risk of delay, expense, and uncertainty to the Debtors and their Estates.

13.

Conversion to Chapter 7

If no plan can be confirmed, or if the Bankruptcy Court otherwise finds that it would be in the best interests of the creditors and/or the Debtors, the chapter 11 cases may be converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to which a trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate the Debtors’ assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors believe that liquidation under chapter 7 would result in smaller distributions being made to the Debtors’ creditors than as provided for in the Plan, as further detailed in Section V of this Disclosure Statement.

14.

The Debtors’ Liquidity May be Exhausted and No Alternative Financing may be Obtained Before the Effective Date

In the event the Debtors do not obtain debtor-in-possession financing or have access to other sources of liquidity, the Debtors may not be able to satisfy the Claims entitled to administrative or other priority under sections 507(a) or (3) of the Bankruptcy Code in the chapter 11 cases. Additionally, if the Plan is not confirmed before the Debtors’ liquidity is exhausted and the Debtors are unable to obtain additional liquidity, creditor recoveries may be materially adversely affected.

15.

Dismissal of Chapter 11 Cases

If no plan can be confirmed, or if the Bankruptcy Court otherwise finds that it would be in the best interests of the creditors and/or the Debtors, one or more of the chapter 11 cases may be dismissed by order of the Bankruptcy Court.

16.

Cost of Administering Debtors’ Estates

Liquidation of the Debtors’ remaining assets and the disbursement of the proceeds of such liquidation, as well as the wind-down of the Debtor entities (and the related costs for counsel, the Liquidating Agent, Claims Agent, tax preparation U.S. Trustee fees, etc.), will require certain administrative costs that may vary based on a variety of factors, including many out of the Debtors’ control. Such administrative costs cannot be predicted with certainty and may affect recoveries under the Plan.

B.	ADDITIONAL FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED

Debtors Could Withdraw Plan

The Plan may be revoked, or withdrawn prior to the Confirmation Date by the Debtors, with the prior written consent (email being sufficient) of the Required Senior Secured Noteholders.

Debtors Have No Duty to Update

The statements contained in this Disclosure Statement are made by the Debtors as of the date hereof, unless otherwise specified herein, and the delivery of this Disclosure Statement after that date does not imply that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since that date. The Debtors have no duty to update this Disclosure Statement unless otherwise ordered to do so by the Bankruptcy Court.

No Representations Outside This Disclosure Statement Are Authorized

No representations concerning or related to the Debtors, these chapter 11 cases, or the Plan are authorized by the Bankruptcy Court or the Bankruptcy Code, other than as set forth in this Disclosure Statement. Any representations or inducements made to secure your acceptance or rejection of the Plan that are other than as contained in, or included with, this Disclosure Statement should not be relied upon by you in arriving at your decision.

No Legal or Tax Advice Is Provided to You by This Disclosure Statement

The contents of this Disclosure Statement should not be construed as legal, business, or tax advice. Each holder of a Claim or Interest should consult his, her, or its own legal counsel and accountant as to legal, tax, and other matters concerning his, her, or its Claim or Interest. This Disclosure Statement is not legal advice to you. This Disclosure Statement may not be relied upon for any purpose other than to determine how to vote on the Plan or object to confirmation of the Plan.

No Admission Made

Nothing contained in the Plan will constitute an admission of, or be deemed evidence of, the tax or other legal effects of the Plan on the Debtors or on holders of Claims or Interests.

No Waiver of Right to Object or Right to Recover Transfers and Assets

The vote by a holder of a Claim or Interest for or against the Plan does not constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Causes of Action, or rights of the Debtors (or any entity, as the case may be) to object to that holder’s Claim or Interest, or recover any preferential, fraudulent, or other voidable transfer of assets, regardless of whether any Claims or Causes of Action of the Debtors or their respective Estates are specifically or generally identified in this Disclosure Statement.

Ongoing Litigation Could Affect the Outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases

The outcome of certain pending litigation could impact the availability of certain assets currently for sale, or impact the timing for such sale. An adverse outcome in any litigation on which asset sales contemplated under the Plan depend could materially affect the recovery of creditors or the Debtors’ ability to confirm the Plan.

Objection to Amount or Classification of Claims

The Debtors reserve the right to object to the amount or classification of any Claim under the Plan. The estimate set forth in this Disclosure Statement cannot be relied upon by any holder of a Claim where such Claim is subject to an objection. Any holder of any Claim whose Claim is or may be subject to an objection may not receive its specified share of the estimated distributions described in this Disclosure Statement.

VII.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the implementation of the Plan to the Debtors and to certain holders of Allowed Claims. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to (i) holders whose Claims are unimpaired or otherwise entitled to payment in full in cash under the Plan, (ii) public entities or Governmental Units, including the U.S. Government, states, municipalities and Native American Tribes, nor (iii) holders of Claims or Interests who are not entitled to vote or deemed to reject the Plan, such as holders of Parent Interests.

The discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences below is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”), judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this Disclosure Statement and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the contemplated transactions are complex and subject to significant uncertainties. The Debtors have not requested an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the IRS with respect to any of the tax aspects of the contemplated transactions, and the discussion below is not binding upon the IRS or any court. No assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court will not sustain, a different position than any position discussed herein.

This summary does not address foreign, state, or local tax consequences of the contemplated transactions, nor does it purport to address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the transactions to special classes of taxpayers (e.g., non-U.S. taxpayers, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, small business investment companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, banks and certain other financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities or organizations, governmental authorities or agencies, retirement plans, individual retirement and other tax-deferred accounts, holders that are, or hold Claims through, S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, dealers in securities or foreign currency, traders that mark-to-market their securities, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax or the “Medicare” tax on net investment income, persons who use the accrual method of accounting and report income on an “applicable financial statement,” and persons holding Claims that are part of a straddle, hedging, constructive sale, or conversion transaction). In addition, this discussion does not address the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act or U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes.

This discussion assumes that: (i) the various debt and other arrangements to which any of the Debtors is a party will be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with their form and (ii) except where otherwise indicated, the Claims are held as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) within the meaning of section 1221 of the Tax Code.

THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING AND ADVICE BASED UPON INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS FOR THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES APPLICABLE UNDER THE PLAN.

A.	CONSEQUENCES TO DEBTORS

Each of the Debtors is either a member of an affiliated group of corporations that files consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns with Luminar Technologies, Inc., as the common parent (such group, the “Tax Group”) or an entity disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes whose business activities and operations are reflected on the consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns of the Tax Group. The Debtors estimate that, as of December 31, 2024, the Tax Group had U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $832 million (most of which are post-2017 NOLs that are subject to an 80% taxable income limitation), approximately $28.5 million in federal research and development tax credits, and certain other favorable tax attributes, including approximately $1 billion in consolidated state NOLs, and approximately $6.7 million in state research and development tax credits. The Debtors expect the amount of the Tax Group’s NOLs to increase as a result of operations for its 2025 and 2026 taxable years (before taking into account pre-Effective Date sale of assets and the implementation of the Plan).

The Tax Group’s ability to utilize its NOLs and certain other tax attributes could be subject to limitation if the Tax Group underwent or were to undergo an ownership change within the meaning of section 382 of the Tax Code after the Petition Date. The Debtors do not believe that the Tax Group’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes is currently subject to any significant limitation under section 382 of the Tax Code. However, certain equity trading activity and other actions could result in an ownership change of the Tax Group independent of the Plan, which could adversely affect the ability of the Debtors to utilize their tax attributes. In an attempt to minimize the likelihood of such an ownership change occurring prior to the Effective Date of the Plan, the Debtors obtained an interim order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing certain protective equity trading and worthless stock deduction procedures (Docket No. 25-90807). The amount of the Tax Group’s NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes, and the extent to which any limitations might apply, remain subject to audit and adjustment by the IRS and entry of a final order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing certain protective equity trading and worthless stock deduction procedures.

The Tax Code generally imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on corporations with book net income (subject to certain adjustments) exceeding on average $1 billion over any three-year testing period. The Debtors do not believe they are currently subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax.

Transfer of Assets to the Liquidation Trust; Wind Down of the Debtors

Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors expect to sell all or substantially all of their assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to the Plan, a Liquidation Trust will be established. On the Effective Date, the Debtors will transfer all of the Liquidation Trust Assets (comprising all of the then assets of the Debtors not otherwise transferred or disposed of on or prior to the Effective Date) to the Liquidation Trust, to be administered by the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement. Pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors will thereafter be dissolved as soon as practicable after the Effective Date.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the transfer of Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust (including any portion treated as a “disputed ownership fund”) is expected to be treated as a taxable sale of such assets at their then fair market value. Although the Debtors may recognize taxable gain as a result of such transactions and their consequent liquidation, the Debtors expect the Tax Group to have other deductions and losses, available NOL carryforwards and/or other tax attributes sufficient to avoid any material U.S. federal, state or local income tax liability from such transactions.

As discussed below, the Liquidation Trust is intended to qualify as “liquidating trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d) (except in respect of any portion treated as a “disputed ownership fund,” including as discussed below, the GUC Reserve). See Section VII.C of this Disclosure Statement (“Tax Treatment of the Liquidation Trust and its Beneficiaries”). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Plan provides that all parties shall treat any transfer of assets to the Liquidation Trust (other than any assets allocable to any portion treated as a disputed ownership fund) as (i) a first-step transfer of such assets directly to the Liquidation Trust beneficiaries in satisfaction of their respective Allowed Claims in accordance with the Plan, immediately followed by (ii) a second-step transfer by such beneficiaries of their interest in such assets to the Liquidation Trust. Pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations, any assets treated as transferred to a “disputed ownership fund” is similarly treated as a taxable sale of such assets by the Debtors.

Cancellation of Debt

In general, absent an applicable exception, a debtor must recognize COD income from the satisfaction of its outstanding indebtedness for total consideration less than the amount of such indebtedness. The amount of COD income is generally the excess of (a) the “adjusted issue price” (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations) of the indebtedness satisfied over (b) the sum of the amount of cash paid, the issue price of any new indebtedness issued, and the fair market value of any other non-cash consideration, given in satisfaction of such indebtedness at the time of the exchange.

However, if the debtor is under the jurisdiction of a court in a case under title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the cancellation or discharge of debt occurs pursuant to a bankruptcy court order or confirmed plan, any resulting COD income is excluded from gross income. As a consequence of such exclusion, a debtor must reduce certain of its tax attributes by up to the amount of the excluded COD income. Tax attributes are generally reduced in the following order: (a) current year NOLs and NOL carryforwards, (b) general business credit carryovers, (c) current year net capital losses and capital loss carryovers, (d) tax basis in assets (but not below the amount of liabilities to which the taxpayer remains subject immediately after the discharge), (e) passive activity loss and credit carryovers, and (f) foreign tax credit carryovers. Alternatively, if advantageous, the debtor can elect to reduce the basis of depreciable property prior to any reduction in its NOLs or other tax attributes. In the absence of contrary guidance, it appears that disallowed business interest expense carryovers under section 163(j) of the Tax Code are not subject to reduction under these rules. Where the debtor joins in the filing of a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, applicable Treasury Regulations require, in certain circumstances, that the tax attributes of the other members of the tax consolidated group also be reduced. In general, any reduction in tax attributes under the COD rules does not occur until the end of the tax year, after such attributes have been applied to determine the tax for the year.

The Debtors expect to incur a substantial amount of excluded COD income and related attribute reduction as a result of the implementation of the Plan. However, as discussed above, as a result of pre-Effective Date sales of assets and the transfer to the Liquidation Trust of any then remaining assets not otherwise distributed pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors expect to have sold all their assets in fully taxable transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes prior to the end of the tax year in which the Plan goes effective. As a result, the Debtors do not expect the attribute reduction to affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the foregoing transactions, including the computation of gain or loss. Following the transfer to the Liquidation Trust, any remaining Tax Attributes of the Debtors (including any losses recognized as a result of such transactions) will be eliminated by reason of the COD attribute reduction and the resulting liquidation of the Debtors for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

B.	CONSEQUENCES TO HOLDERS OF ALLOWED GENERAL UNSECURED CLAIMS

This summary discusses the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of Allowed First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims, Allowed Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claims and Allowed General Unsecured Claims who are U.S. Holders and does not discuss tax consequences for those who are not U.S. Holders. As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of an Allowed Claim that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

•

a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership or other entity or arrangement taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds an Allowed Claim the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership holding an Allowed Claim, you are urged to consult your own tax advisor.

In addition, the following discussion generally assumes that a particular underlying obligation only falls into one Class. Any holder of an underlying obligation that falls into multiple Classes is urged to consult its tax advisor as to its particular tax consequences.

Treatment to U.S. Holders of Allowed First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims or Allowed Second Lien Secured Claims

Pursuant to the Plan, each holder of an Allowed First Lien Noteholder Secured Claim or Allowed Second Lien Secured Claim will receive, in full and final satisfaction of its applicable claim, an interest in the Liquidation Trust representing such holder’s right to receive its share of the proceeds of distributable Liquidation Trust Assets. As discussed below, holders that receive a beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as directly receiving, and as a direct owner of, an undivided interest in the assets transferred to the Liquidation Trust consistent with their relative interest in the Liquidation Trust (other than any portion(s) of the Liquidation Trust treated as a “disputed ownership fund” for U.S. federal income tax purposes). For a further discussion of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of receiving and owning a beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust, see Section VII.C of this Disclosure Statement (“Tax Treatment of Liquidation Trust and its Beneficiaries”).

In general, a U.S. Holder of an Allowed First Lien Noteholder Secured Claim and/or Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claim will recognize gain or loss with respect to its Allowed Claim in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the sum of the amount of any Cash and the fair market value of any other property received or deemed received by reason of its undivided interest in the assets transferred to the Liquidation Trust (other than any consideration attributable to accrued but unpaid interest and possibly amortized original issue discount (“OID”)) and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Allowed Claim (other than basis attributable to accrued but unpaid interest previously included in the U.S. Holder’s taxable income and possibly amortized OID). See Section VII.B.4 of this Disclosure Statement (“Character of Gain or Loss”). As discussed below, the amount of Cash or other property received in respect of accrued but unpaid interest or accrued OID will be taxed as ordinary income, except to the extent previously included in income by a U.S. Holder under its method of accounting. See Section VII.B.3 of this Disclosure Statement (“Distributions in Respect of Accrued But Unpaid Interest or OID”).

Pursuant to the Plan, the Liquidation Trustee will determine the value of the Liquidation Trust Assets, and all parties to the Liquidation Trust (including U.S. Holders of Allowed Claims receiving interests therein) must consistently use such valuation for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Liquidation Trustee will inform the holders of beneficial interests and other applicable parties of such valuations, as may be relevant from time to time.

Because a holder of a beneficial interest in a liquidating trust is treated as a direct owner of an undivided interest in the underlying assets of the trust, any income or loss of the Liquidation Trust will be treated as income or loss of the beneficiary. In general, a distribution of cash by the Liquidation Trust to the Liquidation Trust beneficiaries will not be separately taxable since the beneficiary is already regarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as owning an undivided interest in the underlying assets. For a further discussion, see Section VII.C of this Disclosure Statement (“Tax Treatment of the Liquidation Trust and its Beneficiaries”).

The aggregate tax basis of a U.S. Holder of an Allowed Claim in its undivided interest in the assets of the Liquidation Trust (subject to any portion(s) of the Liquidation Trust being treated as a “disputed ownership fund” for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will equal the fair market value of such interest increased by its share of Debtors’ liabilities to which such assets remain subject upon transfer to the Liquidation Trust, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period generally will begin on the day following the date of transfer of such assets to the Liquidation Trust.

Treatment to U.S. Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims

Pursuant to the Plan, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will receive, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of such Claim, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, such U.S. Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the GUC Liquidation Trust Interests. The GUC Liquidation Trust Interests represent the holders’ right to share in any Cash remaining in the GUC Reserve (net of costs and expenses) after (i) all Disputed General Unsecured Claims have become Allowed General Unsecured Claims or have been Disallowed by Final Order and (ii) the Liquidation Trustee completes the pursuit, abandonment, or liquidation of all Retained Causes of Action and Unencumbered Assets.

In view of the function and operation of the GUC Reserve, the Plan provides, subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary, or the receipt of a determination by the IRS, that the GUC Reserve will be treated as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by section 1.468B-9 of the Treasury Regulations and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, treated consistently by all parties, including for state and local income tax purposes. See discussion below at Section VII.C.2 of this Disclosure Statement (“Tax Reporting for Assets Allocable to a Disputed Ownership Fund (including the GUC Reserve)”). So treated, holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims generally will continue to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as holding their Claims and will not be treated as receiving a distribution from the Debtors until such time or times as the Liquidation Trustee distributes Cash from the GUC Reserve, if any. In the event of Interim Cash Distributions from the GUC Reserve, it is possible that holders receiving such distributions may also be deemed to receive for U.S. federal income tax purposes a direct interest in the remaining assets of the GUC Reserve.

At such time, the holders generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the sum of the amount of any Cash received and other consideration deemed received (other than any consideration attributable to accrued but unpaid interest and possibly amortized OID) and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Allowed Claim (other than basis attributable to accrued but unpaid interest previously included in the U.S. Holder’s taxable income and possibly amortized OID). See Section VII.B.4 of this Disclosure Statement (“Character of Gain or Loss”). As discussed below, the amount of Cash or other property received in respect of accrued but unpaid interest or accrued OID will be taxed as ordinary income, except to the extent previously included in income by a U.S. Holder under its method of accounting. See Section VII.B.3 of this Disclosure Statement (“Distributions in Respect of Accrued But Unpaid Interest or OID”).

Distributions in Respect of Accrued But Unpaid Interest or OID

Pursuant to Section 7.15 of the Plan, all distributions with respect to an Allowed Claims generally are required to be allocated first to the principal portion of such Allowed Claim (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) unless otherwise required by law (as reasonably determined by the Liquidation Trustee) or otherwise provided in the Plan and, thereafter, to the remaining portion of such Allowed Claim, if any, including accrued but unpaid interest. However, there is no assurance that such allocation would be respected by the IRS for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In general, to the extent any amount received (whether stock, cash, or other property) by a U.S. Holder of a debt instrument is received in satisfaction of accrued interest or OID during its holding period, such amount will be taxable to the holder as ordinary interest income (if not previously included in the U.S. Holder’s gross income under the U.S. Holder’s normal method of accounting). Conversely, a U.S. Holder generally recognizes a deductible loss to the extent any accrued interest or amortized OID claimed was previously included in its gross income and is not paid in full. However, the IRS has privately ruled that a U.S. Holder of a Claim in an otherwise tax-free exchange could not claim a current deduction with respect to any unpaid OID. Accordingly, it is also unclear whether, by analogy, a U.S. Holder of a Claim in a fully taxable exchange would be viewed by the IRS as required to recognize a capital loss, rather than an ordinary loss, with respect to previously included OID that is not paid in full. Each U.S. Holder of an Allowed Claim is urged to consult its own tax advisors regarding the allocation of consideration received under the Plan and the taxation or deductibility of accrued unpaid interest (including OID) as well as the character of any loss claimed with respect to accrued but unpaid interest (including OID) previously included in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Character of Gain or Loss

Where gain or loss is recognized by a U.S. Holder, the character of such gain or loss as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss or as ordinary income or loss will be determined by a number of factors, including the tax status of the U.S. Holder, whether the Claim constitutes a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder and how long it has been held, whether such Claim was acquired at a market discount, and whether and to what extent the U.S. Holder previously claimed a bad debt deduction or worthless security deduction with respect to such Claim.

A U.S. Holder that purchased its Claim from a prior holder at a “market discount” (relative to the principal amount of such Claim at the time of acquisition) may be subject to the market discount rules of the Tax Code unless an exception applies. A U.S. Holder that purchased its Claim from a prior holder will be considered to have purchased such Claim with “market discount” if the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Claim immediately after its acquisition is less than the adjusted issue price of such Claim (or, in the case of a Claim issued without OID, the sum of all remaining payments to be made on the Claim, excluding “qualified stated interest”) by at least a statutorily defined de minimis amount. Under these rules, gain recognized on the taxable disposition of a Claim that is subject to the market discount rules generally will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount accrued (on a straight line basis or, at the election of the holder, on a constant yield basis) during the U.S. Holder’s period of ownership, unless the U.S. Holder elected to include the market discount in income as it accrued.

TAX TREATMENT OF LIQUIDATION TRUST AND ITS BENEFICIARIES

The Liquidation Trust is intended to qualify as a “liquidating trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (other than in respect of any portion of the assets of the Liquidation Trust allocable to a “disputed ownership fund,” including as discussed below, the GUC Reserve). In general, a liquidating trust is not a separate taxable entity but rather is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “grantor” trust (i.e., a pass-through entity). The IRS, in Revenue Procedure 94-45, 1994-2 C.B. 684, set forth the general criteria for obtaining an IRS ruling as to the grantor trust status of a liquidating trust under a chapter 11 plan. The Liquidation Trust will be structured with the intention of complying with such general criteria. Pursuant to the Plan, and in conformity with Revenue Procedure 94-45, all parties (including, without limitation, the Debtors, holders of Allowed Claims, the Liquidation Trustee and beneficiaries of the Liquidation Trust) must treat the transfer of Assets to the Liquidation Trust as (1) a transfer of such Assets (subject to any liabilities and obligations relating to those assets) directly to recipients of beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust (other than in respect of any portion of the Assets allocable to the GUC Reserve or any other portion also treated as a “disputed ownership fund”), immediately followed by (2) a transfer by such beneficiaries to the Liquidation Trust of such Assets in exchange for beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust. Accordingly, except in the event of contrary definitive guidance, holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the grantors and owners of their respective share of the assets transferred by the Debtors to the Liquidation Trust (other than such assets as are allocable to the GUC Reserve or any other portion also treated as a “disputed ownership fund”).

No ruling is currently being requested from the IRS concerning the tax status of the Liquidation Trust as a grantor trust. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not take a contrary position to the classification of the Liquidation Trust as a grantor trust. If the IRS were to challenge successfully such classification, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Liquidation Trust and the U.S. Holders of Claims could vary from those discussed herein. Certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Liquidation Trust or portions thereof being treated as a “disputed ownership fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.468B-9 (such as the GUC Reserve) are also discussed below.

General “Liquidating Trust” Tax Reporting by the Liquidation Trust and their Beneficiaries

Because the Liquidation Trust is structured to qualify as a “liquidating trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Plan provides that, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes, all parties must treat the Liquidation Trust as a grantor trust of which the holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust are the owners and grantors, and treat such beneficiaries as the direct owners of an undivided interest in the Liquidation Trust Assets consistent with their relative share therein (other than in respect of any portion of the Assets transferred to the Liquidation Trust and are allocable to the GUC Reserve or any other portion also treated as a “disputed ownership fund”). The Liquidation Trustee will file tax returns for the Liquidation Trust treating the Liquidation Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to section 1.671-4(a) of the Treasury Regulations. The Liquidation Trustee also will annually send to each holder of record of a beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust a separate statement regarding the receipts and expenditures of the Liquidation Trust as relevant for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Allocations of taxable income of the Liquidation Trust among the Liquidation Trust beneficiaries (with the exception of any taxable income and loss allocable to the GUC Reserve or any other portion of the Liquidation Trust also treated as a “disputed ownership fund,” which should be separately taxable to such fund, see Section VII.C.2 of this Disclosure Statement (“Tax Reporting for Assets Allocable to a Disputed Ownership Fund (including the GUC Reserve)”)) will be determined by reference to the manner in which an amount of cash equal to such taxable income would be distributed (were such cash permitted to be distributed at such time) if, immediately prior to such deemed distribution, the Liquidation Trust had distributed all its assets (valued at their tax book value) to the Liquidation Trust beneficiaries, adjusted for prior taxable income and loss and taking into account all prior and concurrent distributions from the Liquidation Trust. Similarly, taxable loss of the Liquidation Trust will be allocated by reference to the manner in which an economic loss would be borne immediately after a liquidating distribution of the remaining assets of the Liquidation Trust. The tax book value of the Liquidation Trust’s assets for purposes of allocating taxable income and loss shall equal their fair market value on the date of the transfer of such assets to the Liquidation Trust, adjusted in accordance with tax accounting principles prescribed by the Tax Code, applicable Treasury Regulations, and other applicable administrative and judicial authorities and pronouncements.

Taxable income or loss allocated to a Liquidation Trust beneficiary will be treated as income or loss with respect to such Liquidation Trust beneficiary’s undivided interest in the Liquidation Trust’s assets, and not as income or loss with respect to its prior Allowed Claim. The character of any income and the character and ability to use any loss would depend on the particular situation of the holder of such beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust. The U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. beneficiaries of U.S. grantor trusts with foreign corporate subsidiaries is not entirely clear. Holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidation Trust may be taxed on certain income of foreign corporate subsidiaries of the Liquidation Trust, but the amount of such income, if any, is not expected to be material.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the transfer of Debtors’ assets to the Liquidation Trust, the Liquidation Trustee shall make a good faith valuation of the fair market value of such assets. All parties to the Liquidation Trust (including, without limitation, the Debtors, Liquidation Trustee, holders of Allowed Claims, and the beneficiaries of the Liquidation Trust) must consistently use such valuation for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. The valuation will be made available, from time to time, as relevant for tax reporting purposes.

The U.S. federal income tax obligations of a holder with respect to its beneficial interest in the Liquidation Trust are not dependent on the Liquidation Trust distributing any cash or other proceeds (other than with respect to the GUC Reserve or any other portion of the trust also treated as a disputed ownership fund). Thus, a U.S. Holder may incur a U.S. federal income tax liability with respect to its allocable share of the Liquidation Trust’s income even if the Liquidation Trust does not make a concurrent distribution to the holder. In general, other than in respect of the GUC Reserve, a distribution of cash by the Liquidation Trust will not be separately taxable to a beneficiary of the Liquidation Trust since the beneficiary is already regarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as owning the underlying assets (and was taxed at the time the cash was earned or received by the Liquidation Trust). Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisor regarding the appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of any subsequent distributions of cash from the Liquidation Trust.

The Liquidation Trust will comply with all applicable governmental withholding requirements. See Section VII.D of this Disclosure Statement (“Withholding on Distributions and Information Reporting”).

Tax Reporting for Assets Allocable to a Disputed Ownership Fund (including the GUC Reserve)

A “disputed ownership fund” generally is treated as a separate taxable entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject to tax annually any net income earned with respect to the assets allocable thereto, or retained on account thereof (including any gain recognized upon the transfer, resolution, distribution or other disposition of fund assets). All distributions from such fund (which distributions will be net of the expenses, including taxes, relating to the retention or disposition of such assets) will be treated as received by holders in respect of their Claims as if distributed by the applicable Debtor to which such holder’s Claim relates. All parties (including, without limitation, Debtors, holder’s Allowed Claim, the Liquidation Trustee and the beneficiaries of the Liquidation Trust) will be required to report for tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.

A reserve or fund treated as a “disputed ownership fund” will be responsible for payment, out of the assets of the reserve or fund, of any taxes (including any taxes attributable to any income that may arise upon the actual or deemed distribution of the assets) imposed on the fund or its assets. In the event any cash in such reserve or fund is insufficient to pay the costs and expenses of the reserve or fund, assets of the reserve or fund may be sold to pay such costs and expenses.

WITHHOLDING ON DISTRIBUTIONS AND INFORMATION REPORTING

All distributions to holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan are subject to any applicable tax withholding, including employment tax withholding. Payments of interest or dividends and any other reportable payments, possibly including amounts received pursuant to the Plan and payments of proceeds from the sale, retirement or other disposition of the exchange consideration, may be subject to “backup withholding” (currently at a rate of 24%) if a recipient of those payments fails to furnish to the payor certain identifying information and, in some cases, a certification that the recipient is not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts deducted and withheld generally should be allowed as a credit against that recipient’s U.S. federal income tax, provided that appropriate proof is timely provided under rules established by the IRS. Furthermore, certain penalties may be imposed by the IRS on a recipient of payments who is required to supply information but who does not do so in the proper manner. Backup withholding generally should not apply with respect to payments made to certain exempt recipients, such as corporations and financial institutions. Information may also be required to be provided to the IRS concerning payments, unless an exemption applies. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding your qualification for exemption from backup withholding and information reporting and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

In addition, a Liquidation Trust beneficiary that is a not a U.S. person may be subject to 30% withholding, depending on, among other things, the particular type of income and whether the type of income is subject to a lower treaty rate. A non-U.S. Holder may also be subject to other adverse consequences in connection with the implementation of the Plan. As discussed above, the foregoing discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan does not generally address the consequences to non-U.S. Holders of Allowed Claims.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT DISCUSS ALL ASPECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR HOLDER. ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES APPLICABLE UNDER THE PLAN.

VIII. CONFIRMATION OF PLAN

A.	CONFIRMATION HEARING

SECTION 1128(A) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE REQUIRES THE BANKRUPTCY COURT TO HOLD A CONFIRMATION HEARING UPON APPROPRIATE NOTICE TO ALL REQUIRED PARTIES. NOTICE OF THE CONFIRMATION HEARING WILL BE PROVIDED TO ALL KNOWN CREDITORS AND EQUITY HOLDERS OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. THE CONFIRMATION HEARING MAY BE ADJOURNED OR CONTINUED FROM TIME TO TIME BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE OTHER THAN BY A COURT ANNOUNCEMENT PROVIDING FOR SUCH ADJOURNMENT OR CONTINUATION ON ITS AGENDA.

Pursuant to 1128(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Confirmation Hearing (as defined in the Plan) will be held on April 1, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. (Central Time) before the Honorable Judge Christopher Lopez at the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Courtroom 402, 515 Rusk Street, Houston, Texas 77002.

B.	OBJECTIONS

Section 1128(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that any party in interest may object to the confirmation of a plan. Any objection to confirmation of the Plan must be in writing, must conform to the Bankruptcy Rules and the Bankruptcy Local Rules for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, must set forth the name of the objector, the basis for the objection and the specific grounds therefore, and must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court, with a copy to the chambers of the United States Bankruptcy Judge appointed to the chapter 11 cases, together with proof of service thereof, and served upon the following parties, including such other parties as the Bankruptcy Court may order.

Objections and responses to confirmation of the Plan, if any, must be served and filed as to be received on or before the objection deadline to the Plan, March 23, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (Central Time) in the manner described in any order scheduling the Confirmation Hearing.

UNLESS AN OBJECTION TO CONFIRMATION IS TIMELY
FILED, IT MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.

C.	REQUIREMENTS FOR CONFIRMATION OF PLAN

The Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan only if all of the requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code are met. Among the requirements for confirmation are that the Plan is (i) accepted by all impaired Classes of Claims and Interests entitled to vote or, if the Plan is rejected or deemed rejected by an impaired Class, at least one impaired Class has voted to accept the Plan and a determination that the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” as to such Class, (ii) in the “best interests” of the holders of Claims and Interests impaired under the Plan, and (iii) feasible.

Requirements of Section 1129(a) of Bankruptcy Code

At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether the confirmation requirements specified in section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied, including whether:

(a)

the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code;

(b)

the Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code;

(c)

the Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law;

(d)

any payment made or promised by the Debtors, for services or for costs and expenses in or in connection with these chapter 11 cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to these chapter 11 cases, has been disclosed to the Bankruptcy Court, and any such payment made before confirmation of the Plan is reasonable, or if such payment is to be fixed after confirmation of the Plan, such payment is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable;

(e)

the Debtors have disclosed, to the extent known, the identity and affiliations of any individual proposed to serve, after confirmation of the Plan, as a director or officer of the Debtors, or a successor to the Debtors under the Plan, and the appointment to, or continuance in, such office of such individual is consistent with the interests holders of Claims and Interests and with public policy;

(f)

with respect to each Class of Claims or Interests, each holder of an Impaired Claim or Interest has either accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan, on account of such holder’s Claim, property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount such holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated on the Effective Date of the Plan under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(g)

except to the extent the Plan meets the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (as discussed further below), each Class of Claims or Interests either accepted the Plan or is not impaired under the Plan;

(h)

except to the extent that the holder of a particular Claim has agreed to a different treatment of such Claim, the Plan provides that Administrative Expense Claims and other priority claims will be paid in full on the Effective Date, or receive such other treatment consistent with the provisions of section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code;

(i)

at least one Class of Impaired Claims has accepted the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider holding a Claim in such Class;

(j)

confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of the Debtors or any successor to the Debtors under the Plan, unless such liquidation is proposed in the Plan; and

(k)

all fees payable under section 1930 of title 28, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing, have been paid or the Plan provides for the payment of all such fees on the Plan Effective Date of the Plan.

The Debtors believe the Plan meets all the applicable requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Acceptance of Plan

As stated herein, under the Bankruptcy Code, a Class accepts a chapter 11 plan if (i) holders of two-thirds (2/3) in amount and (ii) with respect to holders of Claims, more than a majority in number of the Allowed Claims in such Class (other than those designated under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) vote to accept such plan. Holders of Claims that fail to vote are not counted in determining the thresholds for acceptance of such plan.

Cramdown

If any Impaired Class of Claims or Interests does not accept the Plan (or is deemed to reject the Plan), the Bankruptcy Court may still confirm the Plan at the request of the Debtors if, at least one Impaired Class has voted to accept the Plan and as to each Impaired Class of Claims or Interests that has not accepted the Plan (or is deemed to reject the Plan), the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” under the so-called “cramdown” provisions set forth in section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

No Unfair Discrimination

The “unfair discrimination” test applies to classes of claims or interests that are of equal priority but are receiving different treatment under the Plan. A chapter 11 plan does not discriminate unfairly, within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, if the legal rights of a dissenting class are treated in a manner consistent with the treatment of other classes whose legal rights are substantially similar to those of the dissenting class and if no class of claims or interests receives more than it legally is entitled to receive for its claims or interests. The test does not require that the treatment be the same or equivalent, but that such treatment be “fair.”

The Debtors believe that, under the Plan, all Impaired Classes of Claims and Interests are treated in a manner that is fair and consistent with the treatment of other Classes of Claims and Interests having the same priority. Accordingly, the Debtors believe the Plan does not discriminate unfairly as to any Impaired Class of Claims or Interests.

Fair and Equitable Test

The “fair and equitable” test applies to classes of different priority and status (e.g., secured versus unsecured; claims versus interests) and includes the general requirement that no class of claims receive more than 100% of the allowed amount of the claims in such class. As to the dissenting class, the test sets different standards that must be satisfied for the Plan to be confirmed, depending on the type of claims or interests in such class. The following sets forth the “fair and equitable” test that must be satisfied as to each type of class for a plan to be confirmed if such class rejects the Plan:

•

Secured Creditors. Each holder of an impaired secured claim either (i) retains its liens on the property, to the extent of the allowed amount of its secured claim, and receives deferred cash payments having a value, as of the effective date of the plan, of at least the allowed amount of such secured claim, (ii) has the right to credit bid, subject to section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, the amount of its claim if its property on which it has a lien is sold and retains its lien on the proceeds of the sale, or (iii) receives the “indubitable equivalent” of its allowed secured claim.

•

Unsecured Creditors. Either (i) each holder of an impaired unsecured claim receives or retains under the plan, property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the amount of its allowed claim or (ii) the holders of claims and interests that are junior to the claims of the dissenting class will not receive any property under the plan.

•

Interests. Either (i) each equity interest holder will receive or retain under the plan property of a value equal to the greater of (a) the fixed liquidation preference or redemption price, if any, of such equity interest and (b) the value of the equity interest or (ii) the holders of interest that are junior to the interest of the dissenting class will not receive or retain any property under the plan.

The Debtors believe the Plan satisfies the “fair and equitable” requirement with respect to any rejecting Class.

IF ALL OTHER CONFIRMATION REQUIREMENTS ARE SATISFIED AT THE CONFIRMATION HEARING, THE DEBTORS WILL ASK THE BANKRUPTCY COURT TO RULE THAT THE PLAN MAY BE CONFIRMED ON THE GROUND THAT THE SECTION 1129(b) REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED.

Best Interests Test

As noted above, with respect to each impaired class of claims and interests, confirmation of a plan requires that each such holder either (i) accept such plan or (ii) receive or retain under such plan property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, that is not less than the value such holder would receive or retain if the debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. This requirement is referred to as the “best interests test.”

This test requires the Bankruptcy Court to determine what holders of allowed claims and allowed interests in each impaired class would receive from a liquidation of the relevant Debtor’s assets and properties in the context of a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. To determine if a plan is in the best interests of each impaired class, the value of the distributions from proceeds of the liquidation of the Debtor’s assets and properties (after subtracting amounts attributable to the aforesaid claims) is compared with the value offered to such classes of claims and interests under the plan.

The Debtors believe that under the Plan all holders of Impaired Claims and Interests will receive property with a value not less than the value such holder would receive in a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ belief is based primarily on: (i) consideration of the effects that a chapter 7 liquidation would have on the ultimate proceeds available for distribution to holders of impaired Claims and Interests and (ii) the Liquidation Analysis attached hereto as Exhibit C.

The Debtors believe that any liquidation analysis is speculative, as it is necessarily premised on assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which would be beyond the control of the Debtors. The Liquidation Analysis is solely for the purpose of disclosing to holders of Claims and Interests the effects of a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation of the Debtors, subject to the assumptions set forth therein. There can be no assurance as to values that would actually be realized in a chapter 7 liquidation nor can there be any assurance that a bankruptcy court will accept the Debtors’ conclusions or concur with such assumptions in making its determinations under section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Feasibility

Section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that a debtor demonstrate that confirmation of a plan is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization. For purposes of determining whether the Plan meets this requirement, the Debtors have analyzed their ability to meet their obligations under the Plan. Section VI hereof sets forth certain risk factors that could impact the feasibility of the Plan.

IX.

RELEASES

Sections 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6, 11.7, 11.8 and 11.9 of the Plan also contain certain release, injunction, and exculpation provisions, each of which are reproduced on Exhibit D hereto.

ALTERNATIVES TO CONFIRMATION
AND CONSUMMATION OF PLAN

The Debtors have evaluated several alternatives to the Plan. After studying these alternatives, the Debtors have concluded that the Plan is the best alternative and will maximize recoveries to parties in interest, assuming confirmation and consummation of the Plan. If the Plan is not confirmed and consummated, the alternatives to the Plan are (i) the preparation and presentation of an alternative chapter 11 plan or (ii) a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Alternative Plan of Liquidation

If the Plan is not confirmed, the Debtors (or if the Debtors’ exclusive period in which to file a plan of reorganization has expired, any other party in interest) could attempt to formulate a different plan. Such a plan would involve an orderly liquidation of their assets. The Debtors, however, believe that the Plan, as described herein, enables their creditors to realize the most value under the circumstances.

Liquidation under Chapter 7 of Bankruptcy Code

If no plan can be confirmed, these chapter 11 cases may be converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in which a trustee would be elected or appointed to liquidate the assets of the Debtors for distribution to their creditors in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. The effect that the Debtors expect a chapter 7 liquidation would have on the recovery of holders of Allowed Claims and Interests is set forth in the Liquidation Analysis attached hereto as Exhibit C.

The Debtors believe that liquidation under chapter 7 would result in smaller distributions to creditors than those provided for in the Plan because of, among other things, the delay resulting from the conversion of the chapter 11 cases, the additional administrative expenses associated with the appointment of a trustee and the trustee’s retention of professionals who would be required to become familiar with the many legal and factual issues in the chapter 11 cases, and the loss in value attributable to a considerably expeditious liquidation of the Debtors’ assets as required by chapter 7.

XI.

CONCLUSION

The Debtors believe that confirmation and implementation of the Plan is in the best interests of all creditors, and urges holders of Impaired Claims and Interests in Classes 3, 4, and 5 to vote to accept the Plan.

EXHIBIT C Liquidation Analysis

i. estimated the Cash proceeds (the “Liquidation Proceeds”) a chapter 7 trustee (the “Trustee”) would generate if each Debtor’s chapter 11 case was converted to a case under chapter 7 on the Conversion Date and the Assets of such Debtor’s Estate were liquidated; determined the distribution each Holder of a Claim or Interest would receive from the Liquidation Proceeds under the priority scheme set forth in chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Liquidation Distribution”); and compared each Holder’s Liquidation Distribution to such Holder’s distribution under the Plan if it were confirmed and consummated. ii. iii. Statement of Limitations The Liquidation Analysis represents an estimate of cash distributions and recovery percentages based on a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation of the Debtors’ Assets. It is, therefore, a hypothetical analysis based on certain assumptions discussed herein and in the Disclosure Statement. As such, Asset values and Claims discussed herein may differ materially from amounts referred to in the Plan and Disclosure Statement. The Liquidation Analysis should be read in conjunction with the assumptions, qualifications, and explanations set forth in the Disclosure Statement and the Plan in their entirety, as well as the notes and assumptions set forth below. The determination of the costs of, and Liquidation Proceeds from, the hypothetical liquidation of the Debtors’ Assets in chapter 7 cases is an uncertain process requiring estimates and assumptions that, although reasonable based on the Debtors’ business judgment and input from the Debtors’ experienced 1 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS1 Introduction The Debtors, with the assistance of certain of their legal and restructuring advisors, have prepared this hypothetical liquidation analysis (the “Liquidation Analysis”) in connection with the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Luminar Technologies, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors (Docket No. 120) (as may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”) and Disclosure Statement For Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Luminar Technologies, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors (as may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Disclosure Statement”) pursuant to chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Liquidation Analysis permits parties in interest to evaluate whether the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, also referred to as the “best interests of creditors” test, and to make a decision with respect to how to vote on the Plan. Under this test, the Bankruptcy Court must find, as a condition to confirmation of the Plan, that each Holder of a Claim or Interest in an Impaired Class either (i) has accepted the Plan or (ii) will receive or retain under the Plan property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that such Holder would receive if the applicable Debtor was liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Liquidation Analysis is based upon certain assumptions discussed in the Disclosure Statement, the Liquidation Analysis, and in the accompanying notes to the Liquidation Analysis. To demonstrate satisfaction of the “best interests of creditors” test, the Debtors have:

legal and restructuring advisors, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Debtors, their management and their advisors. Inevitably, some assumptions in the Liquidation Analysis may not materialize in an actual chapter 7 liquidation, and unanticipated events and circumstances could materially affect the ultimate results in such a liquidation. The Liquidation Analysis was prepared for the sole purpose of generating a reasonable, good faith estimate of the Liquidation Proceeds that would be realized in cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Liquidation Analysis is not intended and should not be used for any other purpose. All limitations and risk factors set forth in the Disclosure Statement are applicable to the Liquidation Analysis and are incorporated by reference herein. The underlying financial information in the Liquidation Analysis was not compiled or examined by independent accountants in accordance with standards promulgated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. NEITHER THE DEBTORS NOR THEIR ADVISORS MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY OF THE ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT OR A CHAPTER 7 TRUSTEE’S ABILITY TO ACHIEVE FORECASTED RESULTS. IF THE CHAPTER 11 CASES ARE CONVERTED UNDER CHAPTER 7 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, ACTUAL RESULTS COULD VARY MATERIALLY FROM THE ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS SET FORTH IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS. THE DEBTORS RESERVE ALL RIGHTS TO SUPPLEMENT, MODIFY, OR AMEND THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS IS INTENDED TO BE OR CONSTITUTES A CONCESSION, ADMISSION, OR ALLOWANCE BY THE DEBTORS (OR ANY OTHER PARTY) OR OF ANY CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST THE DEBTORS. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF ALLOWED CLAIMS SET FORTH HEREIN SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE, INCLUDING ANY DETERMINATION OF THE VALUE OF ANY DISTRIBUTION TO BE MADE ON ACCOUNT OF ALLOWED CLAIMS UNDER THE PLAN, OTHER THAN THE PRESENTATION OF A HYPOTHETICAL LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS. ACCORDINGLY, THE ASSET VALUES, AMOUNTS, AND PRIORITY OF ALLOWED CLAIMS IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE AMOUNTS SET FORTH IN THE PLAN OR THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. Basis of Presentation The Liquidation Analysis was prepared by the Debtors, with the assistance of certain of their advisors, and assumes that the Debtors’ Assets would be liquidated on a jointly administered but not substantively consolidated basis. The Liquidation Analysis further assumes that the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases are converted into cases under chapter 7 cases of the Bankruptcy Code on March 31, 2026 (the “Conversion Date”), which is the milestone for entry of a Confirmation Order as set forth in the Cash Collateral Orders. Except as otherwise noted herein, the values reflected in the Liquidation Analysis are based on the unaudited books and records as of December 31, 2025, adjusted for the sales of the LiDAR Assets and LSI Assets, except for Cash and Accounts Receivables, which are estimated as of the Conversion Date. Such values are assumed to be representative of the Debtors’ Assets and liabilities as of the Conversion Date. The Liquidation Analysis was prepared on a legal entity basis for each Debtor. The Liquidation Analysis assumes that, on the Conversion Date, the Bankruptcy Court would appoint the Trustee who would monetize the remaining Assets and administer the wind down of the Estates. The Trustee would oversee the orderly process of liquidating the Debtors’ Assets and the distribution of proceeds to Holders of Allowed

2 Although the Liquidation Analysis assumes the liquidation process would occur over a period of 12–24 months, it is possible the disposition and recovery from certain Assets could take shorter or longer to realize. Throughout this period, the Trustee would also incur administrative expenses, such as payroll, certain overhead, and professional expenses reasonably required to complete the wind-down of the Estates. Claims and Interests. The Debtors have assumed that the liquidation process would take approximately 12–24 months.2 The Liquidation Analysis includes an estimate of the amount of Claims that could ultimately be Allowed under a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation. No recovery or related litigation costs have been attributed to any potential Avoidance Actions under the Bankruptcy Code, including potential preferences or fraudulent transfer actions due to, among other issues, the cost of such litigation, the uncertainty of the outcome, and anticipated disputes regarding these matters. Additionally, the Liquidation Analysis does not include estimates for tax consequences that may be triggered upon the liquidation and sale of the Debtors’ assets. The tax consequences could be material. In preparing the Liquidation Analysis, the amount of Allowed Claims have been projected based upon a review of scheduled Claims and projections of postpetition obligations. In addition, the Liquidation Analysis includes estimates for Claims not currently asserted in the chapter 11 cases, but which could be asserted and Allowed in a chapter 7 liquidation, including unpaid chapter 11 Administrative Expense Claims and chapter 7 Administrative Expense Claims, such as wind-down costs, Trustee fees, and tax liabilities. To date, the Bankruptcy Court has not estimated or otherwise fixed the total amount of Allowed Claims incorporated into the Liquidation Analysis. Consequently, Claims asserted or Allowed against the Debtors’ Estates could be materially higher in a chapter 7 liquidation. All amounts included in the Liquidation Analysis have not been discounted to present values. In these chapter 11 cases, the Debtors intend to sell substantially all of their Assets prior to and following the Effective Date. Accordingly, many of the assumptions and transactions underlying the Plan would remain the same in a chapter 7 liquidation. However, if a Trustee is appointed, the Debtors expect that the Trustee would be required to invest substantial time and resources to diligence and analyze the Debtors’ remaining Assets (including Causes of Action) and investigate the Claims filed against the Debtors’ Estates. The Debtors also expect that there would be additional administrative costs in a chapter 7 liquidation on account of the (i) delay associated with appointing a Trustee, (ii) expected fees of the Trustee, and (iii) the Trustee’s professional fees, which would impact creditors’ recoveries. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS IS INTENDED TO BE, OR CONSTITUTES, A CONCESSION, ADMISSION, OR ALLOWANCE BY THE DEBTORS (OR ANY OTHER PARTY) OF ANY CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST THE DEBTORS. THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OR PRIORITY OF ALLOWED CLAIMS IN THE CHAPTER 11 CASES COULD MATERIALLY DIFFER FROM THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS SET FORTH AND USED IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS. THE DEBTORS RESERVE ALL RIGHTS TO SUPPLEMENT, MODIFY, OR AMEND THE ANALYSIS SET FORTH HEREIN. Causes of Action As described in the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Debtors shall transfer to the Liquidation Trust all Retained Causes of Action, and the Liquidation Trustee may, on behalf of the Liquidation Trust, enforce all rights to pursue, compromise, or settle, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date. Due to the uncertain nature of any litigation that might be pursued in connection with Causes of Action, the Debtors have not estimated the value of any potential proceeds or

incremental litigation costs but believe the value of any potential proceeds or incremental litigation costs would be the same or lower in a chapter 7 liquidation. Debtors and Non-Debtor Affiliates In certain cases, the Debtors may have receivables from, or equity Interests in, certain non-Debtor Affiliates. The Liquidation Analysis reflects estimates related to these Assets. Distribution of Net Proceeds Any Liquidation Proceeds would be allocated to Holders of Claims and Interests in accordance with section 726 of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides for the following priority scheme: Liquidation Costs: includes estimated fees paid to the U.S. Trustee, wind-down costs, Trustee fees, and fees and expenses of advisors and other professionals retained by the Trustee, including expenses associated with selling and otherwise monetizing the Debtors’ Assets; First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims: includes the Secured Claims held by the First Lien Noteholders against the Debtors; Other Secured Claims: includes trade Claims where the counterparty may hold offsetting receivables against the Debtors; Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claims: includes the Claims held by the Second Lien Noteholders against the Debtors; Other Priority and Administrative Claims: includes Claims from counterparties that are able to assert senior priority liens on the Debtors’ assets and/or priority or administrative status for their Claims, including certain trade vendors, taxing authorities, and other holders of potential Other Priority Claims; General Unsecured Claims: includes trade Claims, rejection damages Claims, Intercompany Claims and potential litigation Claims; Subordinated Claims: includes claims assertable against the Debtors under sections 510(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Code; Parent & Intercompany Interests: includes Equity Interests in the Debtors. Chapter 7 administrative expense claims that arise in a liquidation scenario would be paid in full from the Liquidation Proceeds prior to proceeds being made available for distribution to Holders of Allowed Claims. Under the “absolute priority rule,” no junior creditor may receive any distributions until all senior creditors are paid in full, and no equityholder may receive any distributions until all creditors are paid in full. The assumed distributions to creditors as reflected in the Liquidation Analysis are estimated in accordance with the absolute priority rule. Conclusion Applying the estimates and assumptions described herein, the Debtors have determined, as summarized in the table below, that upon the Effective Date, the Plan will provide all Holders of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors with a recovery (if any) that is not less than what they would otherwise receive pursuant to a liquidation of the Debtors’ Assets under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and thus believe the Plan satisfies the requirement of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors believe that

the Liquidation Analysis and the conclusions set forth herein are fair and represent the Debtors’ best judgment regarding the results of a hypothetical liquidation of the Debtors under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Liquidation Analysis for the Debtors The schedule below presents the net Liquidation Proceeds available for distribution in hypothetical chapter 7 cases.

Specific Notes and Assumptions The following notes detail the assumed treatment and estimated value of (i) the Debtors’ Assets, (ii) costs associated with the liquidation of these Assets, and (iii) any Claims that have been asserted or could be asserted against these Assets. Cash The Debtors’ Cash balance is estimated at $21.4 million as of the Conversion Date, which includes funds received through the sale of substantially all the Debtors’ assets, redemption of the SAFE Note, cash held in letters of credit, and amount funded into the utility adequate assurance account. The estimated recovery for this Asset in chapter 7 cases is 100%. Accounts Receivables Accounts Receivables include amounts owed to the Debtors by customers of the Debtors’ LiDAR business not acquired by MicroVision. This amount reflects Accounts Receivables that the Debtors estimate will remain uncollected as of the Conversion Date. The estimated recovery for this Asset in chapter 7 cases is between 2% and 4%. Post-Closing Escrow The LSI Stalking Horse Agreement contains a post-closing escrow of $11 million, to be held for a period of twelve months, as the buyer’s sole recourse against Luminar in the event of the breach of certain representations and warranties. The estimated recovery for this Asset in chapter 7 cases is 0%. Other Assets Other Assets include estimated investments in foreign subsidiaries, the NEXT Note, Plus-AI Safe Note and real property. The estimated recovery for these Assets in chapter 7 cases is between 22% and 42%. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, Plant, and Equipment is comprised of the Debtors’ plant and machinery assets, office furniture and fixtures and capitalized leasehold improvements. The Debtors are expected to have sold, rejected, or abandoned most equipment leases by the Conversion Date. The estimated recovery for this Asset in chapter 7 cases is between 0% and 10%. Chapter 7 Trustee Fees Section 326(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides for Trustee fees of 3.0% for Liquidation Proceeds in excess of $1 million. Accordingly, the Debtors have estimated the Trustee fees based on section 326(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Wind Down Trust Costs Assumed liquidation costs include Trustee and professional fees associated with the wind-down of the Estates, including foreign subsidiaries (e.g., liquidation and recovery of assets, claims reconciliation, and other administrative duties of the Trustee relating to such a wind down), as well as estimated expenses that would be incurred during the wind-down period, including technology expenses and overhead costs. First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims Represents the Secured Claims related to First Lien Notes owed to the First Lien Noteholders that remain outstanding after the sale of the LSI Assets at the Redemption Price, as defined in the First Lien

Notes Indenture, plus accrued interest. The aggregate balance of those Secured Claims as of the Conversion Date totals $24.0 million. Other Secured Claims Represents other claims secured by accounts receivables held by the counterparty. The aggregate balance of the Other Secured Claims totals $8 million and payment is settled via non-cash offset of pre-petition payables. Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claims Represents the Secured Claims related to the Second Lien Notes owed to the Second Lien Noteholders that remain outstanding after the sale of the LSI Assets at the Make-Whole Premium, as defined in the Second Lien Notes Indenture, plus accrued interest. The Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claims are not expected to have a recovery for such Holders after the proceeds are distributed per the Waterfall in a hypothetical chapter 7. The unpaid portion of approximately $272.9 million is considered a Second Lien Deficiency Claim and classified as General Unsecured Claim. Chapter 11 Administrative and Priority Claims This amount includes Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Other Priority Claims that are senior in priority to General Unsecured Claims, including professional fee escrow account deficiencies, postpetition accounts payable, certain accrued expenses, postpetition payroll, and severance payments, in each case solely to the extent such amounts are entitled to priority status as of the Conversion Date. General Unsecured Claims This amount includes Claims arising from the Debtors’ estimation of General Unsecured Claims based on Claims that have been scheduled, and General Unsecured Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Such rejection damages claims do not account for any assumption and assignment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that may occur prior to the Conversion Date or for Claims reconciliation process, including mitigation on part of the claimant. The estimated General Unsecured Claims do not include Claims that are speculative in amount, including disputed litigation Claims, that may be asserted against the Debtors. Recoveries to the General Unsecured Claims are expected to be the liquidation value of unencumbered assets. Subordinated Claims This amount includes Claims asserted against the Debtors arising from the Securities Class Actions. As of the date of this analysis, no Claims have been filed and this amount is unknown. Parent and Intercompany Interests This line item represents any residual recovery value that would be allocated to Parent Interests or Intercompany Interests. The above analysis does not contemplate any recovery for these Interests.

The Debtors are authorized to continue to operate their business and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in these chapter 11 cases. On December 30, 2025, the U.S. Trustee appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors. The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b) and Bankruptcy Local Rule 1015-1. PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that on February 18, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Approving Disclosure Statement (II) Establishing Solicitation, Voting, and Related Procedures; (III) Scheduling Confirmation Hearing, (IV) Establishing Notice and Objection Procedures for Confirmation of Plan; (V) Approving Notice Procedures for Assumption or Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, and (VI) Granting Related Relief (Docket No. 430) (the “Disclosure Statement Order”),2 which, among other things: (i) authorized the Debtors to solicit votes on the Third Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Luminar Technologies, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors (attached as Exhibit A to this Disclosure Statement, and as may be modified, amended, or supplemented, the “Plan”); and 1 The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases, along with the last four digits of each Debtor’s federal tax identification number, are as follows: LAZR Technologies, LLC (8909); Luminar Technologies, Inc.

2 (ii) approved this Disclosure Statement for Third Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Luminar Technologies, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors (the “Disclosure Statement”). Parties Entitled to Vote. Holders of Claims in Class 3 (First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims), Class 4 (Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claims), and Class 5 (General Unsecured Claims) are Impaired and entitled to receive distributions under the Plan and, thus, may vote to accept or reject the Plan, subject to certain exceptions discussed below (each, a “Voting Class,” and collectively, the “Voting Classes”). A Holder of a Claim in a Voting Class is nonetheless not entitled to vote to the extent that: as of the Voting Record Date (as defined below), such Holder’s Claim relates to a debt or obligation that the Debtors have already paid or satisfied; as of the Voting Record Date, the outstanding amount of such Holder’s Claim is zero ($0.00); as of the Voting Record Date, such Holder’s Claim has been Disallowed, expunged, disqualified, or suspended; such Holder has not timely filed a Proof of Claim in accordance with the Order (I) Establishing Deadlines to File Proofs of Claim and (II) Approving Form and Manner of Notice Thereof (Docket No. 118) (the “Bar Date Order”) as of the Bar Date and the Debtors have not scheduled such Holder’s Claim or have scheduled such Holder’s Claim in an undetermined amount or as contingent, unliquidated, or disputed or such Holder is not required to file a Proof of Claim pursuant to the Bar Date Order; provided, that to the extent that such Holder’s deadline to File a Claim arising from any rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to which such Holder is party has not yet occurred, such Holder will be entitled to vote in the amount of $1.00 on account of such Claim; or such Holder’s Claim is subject to an objection, a request for estimation, or an adversary proceeding as of March 9, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (Central Time), subject to the procedures set forth below; provided that, any such Holder shall receive a Ballot and may submit such Ballot on a provisional basis and may elect to opt out of the Non-Debtor Release Provisions (as defined below) contained in the Plan. To the extent such Holder does not file a Rule 3018 Motion in accordance with the instructions set forth below, the Ballot will not be counted for voting purposes; however, any opt out election made by such Holder on its Ballot with respect to the Non-Debtor Release Provisions contained in the Plan shall be valid so long as such Ballot is submitted in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. To the extent such Holder files a Rule 3018 Motion in accordance with the instructions set forth below, the extent to which such Ballot shall be counted for voting purposes will be determined by the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise agreed by the Debtors and the Holder.

3 With respect to transfers of Claims required to be filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001(e), the transferee shall be entitled to receive a Solicitation Package (as defined below) and, if the Holder of such Claim is otherwise entitled to vote with respect to the Plan, cast a Ballot (defined below) on account of such Claim only if: (i) all actions necessary to transfer such Claim are completed by the Voting Record Date or (ii) the transferee Files with the Bankruptcy Court, by the Voting Record Date, (a) all documentation required by Bankruptcy Rule 3001(e) to evidence the transfer and (b) a sworn statement of the transferor supporting the validity of the transfer.

Where any portion of a single Claim has been transferred to a transferee and notice of such transfer is required to be filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001(e), all Holders of any portion of such single Claim may be (i) treated as a single creditor for purposes of the numerosity requirements in section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) required to vote every portion of such Claim collectively to accept or reject the Plan. In the event that (i) a Ballot, (ii) a group of Ballots within a Voting Class received from a single creditor, or (iii) a group of Ballots received from the various Holders of multiple portions of a single Claim partially reject and partially accept the Plan, such Ballots may not be counted in the Debtors’ discretion. Parties Not Entitled to Vote. Holders of Claims in Class 1 (Other Priority Claims) and Class 2 (Other Secured Claims) are Unimpaired and are conclusively presumed to accept the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Holders of Claims in Class 6 (Intercompany Claims) are either Impaired and deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code or Unimpaired and presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Holders of Claims and Interests in Class 7 (Intercompany Interests), Class 8 (Subordinated Claims), and Class 9 (Parent Interests) are Impaired and are presumed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.

To the extent the Collateral Value exceeds the Aggregate First Lien Noteholder Voting Amount, each Second Lien Noteholder shall be entitled to vote its (i) Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claim in the amount of its Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the difference between the Collateral Value and the Aggregate First Lien Noteholder Voting Amount and (B) the Aggregate Second Lien Noteholder Voting Amount (the lesser of (A) and (B), the “Aggregate Second Lien Noteholder Secured Voting Amount”) and (ii) if the Aggregate Second Lien Noteholder Voting Amount exceeds the Aggregate Second Lien Noteholder Secured 3 “Global Bidding Procedures Motion” means the Emergency Motion of Debtors for Entry of an Order (I) Approving (A) Global Bidding Procedures for Sale of Debtors’ Assets, (B) Designation of Stalking Horse Bidder and Stalking Horse Bid, (C) Form and Manner of Notice of Sale, Auction, and Sale Hearing, and (D) Assumption and Assignment Procedures and Form and manner of Notice of Assumption and Assignment; (II) Authorizing Entry Into the Stalking Horse Agreement; (III) Scheduling an Auction and Sale Hearing; (IV) Authorizing the Sale of the Debtors’ Assets Free and Clear of Liens, Claims, Interests, and Encumbrances; (V) Approving Compliance with Indenture in Connection with Sale Including Use of Net Sale Proceeds to Pay Down Prepetition Debt; and (VI) Granting Related Relief (Docket No. 86). 4

Except as otherwise provided herein and solely to the extent such Holder is entitled to vote under these procedures, the amount of each General Unsecured Claim in Class 5, for voting purposes only, shall be established pursuant to the following hierarchy: if a Claim has been estimated or otherwise Allowed for voting purposes by order of the Bankruptcy Court, such Claim is temporarily Allowed in the amount so estimated or Allowed by this Bankruptcy Court; if (a) does not apply, but the Claim has been estimated or otherwise Allowed for voting purposes pursuant to a stipulation, settlement, or other agreement in writing reached between the applicable Debtor(s) and the Holder of the Claim (whether such stipulation, settlement, or agreement is Filed or not), such Claim is temporarily Allowed against such Debtor(s) in the amount set forth in the stipulation, settlement, or other agreement; if neither (a) nor (b) applies, then in the liquidated, non-contingent, and undisputed amount set forth on a Proof of Claim timely Filed in accordance with the Bar Date Order as of the Voting Record Date; provided that, if the amount set forth on a timely-Filed Proof of Claim is wholly unliquidated, contingent, and/or disputed (as determined on the face of the Claim or based on reasonable review by the Debtors and/or the Voting Agent), then the Claim shall be temporarily allowed for voting purposes in the amount of $1.00; if neither (a), (b), nor (c) applies, then in the liquidated, non-contingent, and undisputed amount set forth on the Debtors’ Schedules; provided that, if the Claim appearing on the Debtors’ Schedules is either contingent, unliquidated, and/or disputed, or in a $0.00 amount, then the Claim shall be Disallowed for voting purposes, except to the extent that

6 such Holder’s deadline to File a Proof of Claim arising from any rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to which such Holder is party has not yet occurred; provided, that, to the extent such Holder’s deadline to File a Proof of Claim has not yet occurred, such Holder will be entitled to vote in the amount of $1.00 on account of such Claim; notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder who has Filed duplicate Proofs of Claim or purchased duplicate Claims within the same Voting Class may be provided with only one Solicitation Package and one Ballot for voting a single Claim in such Class, regardless of whether the Debtors have objected to such duplicate Claims; and if a Proof of Claim has been amended by a later Proof of Claim that is Filed on or prior to the Bar Date, the later Filed amended Proof of Claim shall be entitled to vote in a manner consistent with these tabulation rules, and the earlier Filed Proof of Claim shall be Disallowed for voting purposes, regardless of whether the Debtors have objected to such amended Proof of Claim. Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, any amendments to Proofs of Claim after the Bar Date shall not be considered for purposes of these tabulation rules. 5. General. If the Debtors have Filed an objection to, a request for estimation of, or an adversary proceeding relating to a Claim or Interest on or before March 9, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (Central Time), such Claim or Interest shall be temporarily Disallowed for voting purposes, except as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court before the Voting Deadline; provided, however, that, if the Debtors’ objection seeks only to reclassify or reduce the Allowed amount of such Claim or Interest, then such Claim or Interest is temporarily Allowed for voting purposes in the reduced amount and/or as reclassified (as applicable), except as may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court before or concurrent with, entry of an order confirming the Plan. If any Holder seeks to challenge the Allowed amount of its Claim or Interest for voting purposes, such Holder must File with the Bankruptcy Court a motion for an order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3018(a) temporarily Allowing such Claim or Interest for voting purposes in a different amount (a “Rule 3018(a) Motion”). Any Rule 3018(a) Motion must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court so as to be actually received not later than March 16, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (Central Time). Upon the filing of any such Rule 3018(a) Motion, such Holder’s provisional Ballot shall be counted in accordance with the above-designated guidelines, unless temporarily Allowed in a different amount by an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered prior to or concurrent with entry of an order confirming the Plan. For purposes of the numerosity requirement of section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, separate Claims against one Debtor held by a single Holder in a particular Class shall be aggregated as if such Holder held one Claim in such Debtor in such Class, and the votes related to such Claims shall be treated as a single vote to accept or reject the Plan.

Only the Ballots and the Confirmation Hearing Notice will be provided in paper format. Moreover, the Plan and Disclosure Statement will be available at no charge via the internet at https://omniagentsolutions.com/Luminar. If service by QR code imposes a hardship for any party entitled to receive a copy of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement (e.g., the party does not own or have access to a smartphone or a tablet), such party may request a paper copy or a USB flash drive that includes copies of the Plan, Disclosure Statement, and Disclosure Statement Order (without attachments, except the Solicitation and Voting Procedures as annexed as Exhibit 2 thereto) by contacting Omni (i) through e-mail at LuminarInquiries@OmniAgnt.com, (ii) by writing to Luminar Technologies, Inc., Ballot Processing, C/O Omni Agent Solutions, Inc., 5955 De Soto Avenue, Suite 100, Woodland Hills, CA 91367, or (iii) via telephone, toll-free, at 888-901-3403 (US & Canada) or +747-293-0190 (International).

The Debtors shall mail to Holders of Claims in Voting Classes entitled to vote on the Plan as of the Voting Record Date the Solicitation Packages by February 23, 2026, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (the “Solicitation Mailing Deadline”). The Debtors will also provide complete Solicitation Packages (excluding Ballots) to the U.S. Trustee and all parties in interest required to be notified under Bankruptcy Rule 2002 and Local Rule 2002-1. The Debtors are not required to mail Solicitation Packages to Holders (i) that have Claims that have already been paid in full during the Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) whose prior mailings in these Chapter 11 Cases were returned as undeliverable and that have not provided a forwarding address by the Voting Record Date5, (iii) that hold Claims or Interests in Class 1 (Other Priority Claims), Class 2 (Other Secured Claims), Class 6 (Intercompany Claims), Class 7 (Intercompany Interests), Class 8 (Subordinated Claims), or Class 9 (Parent Interests), and/or (iv) that are not otherwise entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan in accordance with the terms and provisions of these Solicitation and Voting Procedures.

undeliverable. For purposes of serving the Solicitation Packages and Notices of Non-Voting Status, the Debtors may rely on the address information for the Holders of Claims and Interests as compiled, updated, and maintained by the Voting Agent as of the Voting Record Date. The Debtors and the Voting Agent are not required to conduct any additional research for updated addresses based on undeliverable Solicitation Packages (including Ballots) and will not be required to resend Solicitation Packages or other materials, including Notices of Non-Voting Status, that are returned as undeliverable unless the Debtors are provided with accurate addresses for such parties prior to the Voting Record Date. To avoid duplication and reduce expenses, the Debtors will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each Holder of a Claim receives no more than one Solicitation Package (and, therefore, one Ballot) on account of such Claim and with respect to that Class as against the Debtors. Forms of Ballots. Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes that are eligible to vote (as set forth herein) shall receive ballots substantially in the forms attached to the Disclosure Statement Order as Exhibits 3–9 (the “Ballots”), as applicable.6 All Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes will receive a Ballot that includes an election to opt out of the non-Debtor release provisions in section 11.6(b) of the Plan (the “Non-Debtor Release Provisions”). Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes that properly and timely elect to opt out of the Non-Debtor Release Provisions will not be a Releasing Party or Released Party under the Plan. The Debtors will distribute Ballots to each of the Holders of Claims in Voting Classes; provided, that the following procedures shall apply, as applicable: Holders of Notes Claims in Classes 3, 4, and 5. The Debtors are authorized to distribute the following two forms of Ballots with respect to each of the First Lien Noteholder Claims, Second Lien Noteholder Claims, and Unsecured Notes Claims (collectively, the “Notes Claims” and such underlying notes, the “Notes”) entitled to vote in Classes 3, 4, and 5, as applicable: (i) a form of Ballot for a beneficial owner of the Notes Claim (a “Notes Beneficial Holder,” and the corresponding ballot, the “Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot”); and (ii) a form of Ballot for the bank, broker, or other financial institution that holds the applicable Notes Claims “in street name” at DTC on behalf of the Notes Beneficial Holder (or agent thereof) (each, a “Notes Nominee”) to transmit the votes of one or more beneficial owners (the “Notes Nominee Master Ballot”). For Holders of First Lien Noteholder Claims or Second Lien Noteholder Claims, the respective Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot and Notes Nominee Master Ballot shall include a section to vote both (i) the First Lien Noteholder Secured Claim and First Lien Noteholder 6 Omni is required to retain all paper copies of Ballots and all solicitation-related correspondence for one (1) year following the Effective Date, whereupon, Omni is authorized to destroy and/or otherwise dispose of all paper copies of Ballots; printed solicitation materials including unused copies of the Solicitation Package; and all solicitation-related correspondence (including undeliverable mail), in each case unless otherwise directed by the Debtors or the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court in writing within such one (1) year period. 9

Deficiency Claim or (ii) the Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claim and Second Lien Noteholder Deficiency Claim, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any Notes Beneficial Holder holding both a First Lien Noteholder Claim and a Second Lien Noteholder Claim must submit a separate Ballot corresponding to each of its First Lien Noteholder Claim in Class 3 and Class 5 and Second Lien Noteholder Claim in Class 4 and Class 5, respectively. Any Notes Beneficial Holder may vote on the Plan by completing and signing a Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot on its own behalf and returning such Ballot directly to the Voting Agent on or before the Voting Deadline (provided such Notes Beneficial Holder does not hold such positions at DTC in “street name” through a Notes Nominee, as detailed below). The following additional procedures shall apply to Claims of Notes Beneficial Holders who hold their position at DTC in “street name” through a Notes Nominee: the Voting Agent shall distribute, or cause to be distributed, the appropriate number of copies of Ballots to Notes Nominees identified by the Voting Agent as entities through which Notes Beneficial Holders hold Notes Claims as of the Voting Record Date; any Notes Nominee that is a holder of record with respect to Notes shall solicit votes from Notes Beneficial Holders of such Claims by: (i) distributing the Solicitation Packages, including the Notes Beneficial Holder Ballots it receives from the Voting Agent, to all such Notes Beneficial Holders, no later than five (5) business days following receipt of the Solicitation Package;7 (ii) providing such Notes Beneficial Holders with a return address and envelope to send Ballots; (iii) promptly collecting Notes Beneficial Holder Ballots from such Notes Beneficial Holders that cast votes on the Plan; (iv) compiling and validating the votes and other relevant information of all such Notes Beneficial Holders on the Notes Nominee Master Ballot; and (v) transmitting the applicable Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot to the Voting Agent by the Voting Deadline; any Notes Beneficial Holder holding a Notes Claim as a record holder in its own name shall vote on the Plan by completing and signing a Notes Nominee Master Ballot on its own behalf and returning such Ballot directly to the Voting Agent on or before the Voting Deadline; any Notes Beneficial Holder holding Notes in “street name” through a Notes Nominee must vote on the Plan through such Notes Nominee by completing and signing the Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot and returning such Ballot to the appropriate Notes Nominee as promptly as possible and in sufficient time to allow such Notes Nominee to process the Ballot and return the Notes Nominee Master Ballot to the Voting Agent prior to the Voting Deadline. Any Notes Beneficial Holder holding Notes in “street name” that submits a Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot to the Debtors or Voting Agent will not have such Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot counted for purposes of accepting or rejecting the Plan; 7 Solicitation Packages may be sent in paper format or via electronic transmission in accordance with the customary requirements of each Notes Nominee. Each Notes Nominee will then distribute the Solicitation Packages, as appropriate, in accordance with its customary practices and obtain votes to accept or to reject the Plan also in accordance with its customary practices. 10

11 any Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot returned to a Notes Nominee by a Notes Beneficial Holder shall not be counted for purposes of accepting or rejecting the Plan until such Notes Nominee properly completes and delivers to the Voting Agent the Notes Nominee Master Ballot that reflects the vote of such Notes Beneficial Holders by the Voting Deadline or otherwise validates the Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot in a manner acceptable to the Voting Agent. Notes Nominees shall retain all Notes Beneficial Holder Ballots returned by Notes Beneficial Holders for a period of one (1) year after the Effective Date of the Plan; if a Notes Beneficial Holder holds Notes through more than one Notes Nominee or through multiple accounts, such Notes Beneficial Holder may receive more than one Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot, and each such Notes Beneficial Holder should execute a separate Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot for each block of Notes that it holds through any Notes Nominee and must return each such Notes Beneficial Holder Ballot to the appropriate Notes Nominee; if a Notes Beneficial Holder holds a portion of its Notes through a Notes Nominee(s) and another portion in its own name as the record holder, such Notes Beneficial Holder should follow the procedures described herein to vote the portion held in its own name and the procedures described in the rest of this section to vote the portion held by the Notes Nominee(s); and Notes Beneficial Holders holding Notes through a Notes Nominee must return their paper ballot to their Notes Nominee, unless, at the option of the Notes Nominee, such Nominee instructs their Notes Beneficial Holders that they may relay votes or voting instructions electronically or otherwise to the Notes Nominee or the entity preparing the Notes Nominee Master Ballot on such Notes Nominee’s behalf, and a Notes Nominee(s) may use their customary procedures for obtaining such votes electronically or otherwise. 5. Notice of Non-Voting Status and Release Opt Out Forms. Holders of Claims and Interests in the Non-Voting Classes, in lieu of a Solicitation Package, will receive: (i) the Confirmation Hearing Notice, (ii) a Notice of Non-Voting Status substantially in the form attached to the Disclosure Statement Order as Exhibit 10 (the “Notice of Non-Voting Status”), and (iii) a Release Opt Out Form (as defined below) (together, the “Non‑Voting Class Packages”); provided that, the Debtors are not required to serve Holders of Claims and Interests in Class 6 (Intercompany Claims) and Class 7 (Intercompany Interests) copies of the Confirmation Hearing Notice, Notice of Non-Voting Status, or any other type of notice in connection with solicitation of the Plan because such Claims and Interests are held by the Debtors or the Debtors’ affiliates. The Notice of Non-Voting Status provides (i) notice of the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Disclosure Statement, (ii) notice of the filing of the Plan and Disclosure Statement, (iii) notice of the Holders’ non-voting status, and (iv) information about how to obtain copies of the Disclosure Statement and Plan. In addition, the Notice of Non-Voting Status contains the full text of the release, exculpation, and injunction provisions set forth in Article XI of the Plan and

12 advises such Holders in Non-Voting Classes that they will be bound by the Non-Debtor Release Provisions unless they timely, properly, and affirmatively opt out. The Debtors shall cause to be mailed a release opt out form, substantially in the form attached to the Disclosure Statement Order as Exhibit 11 (the “Release Opt Out Form”), to Holders of Claims and Interests in the Non-Voting Classes. For Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes, the opt out option shall be on such Holder’s Ballot. In addition, Holders of Interests in Class 9 (Parent Interests) shall receive the Non‑Voting Class Package. The Debtors shall cause to be mailed the Non‑Voting Class Package to the banks, brokers, and financial institutions (or their agents) that might have purchased equity securities in “street name” (collectively, including their agents, the “Equity Nominees”) on behalf of the Holders of Interests in Class 9 (Parent Interests). With their mailing, the Debtors shall include instructions to the Equity Nominees concerning the requirements in subparagraphs (a)–(d) below. such Equity Nominees shall either: (i) within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the Non‑Voting Class Package, request from the Debtors sufficient copies of the Non‑Voting Class Package to forward to all such beneficial owners and within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of those notices and claim forms forward them to all such beneficial owners; or (ii) within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the Non‑Voting Class Package, provide a list of the names and addresses of all such beneficial owners to the Debtors and the Debtors shall send the Non‑Voting Class Package promptly to such identified beneficial owners. Equity Nominees that elect to send the Non‑Voting Class Package to their beneficial owners shall also send a statement to the Debtors and Omni confirming that the mailing was made and shall retain their mailing records for use in connection with any further notices that may be provided in these Chapter 11 Cases. if it is the Equity Nominee’s customary and accepted practice to forward such materials to beneficial owners by e-mail, e-delivery, or any other method of electronic or printed communication, the Equity Nominees are authorized to follow those customary practices, within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the materials, in lieu of sending actual printed copies of the Non‑Voting Class Package. within seven (7) calendar days of forwarding such notice, the Nominees may request reimbursement for reasonable and documented noticing costs and research fees, if any, by making such request in writing to the Debtors at the address to be provided by Omni to the Equity Nominees. A Holder that properly, timely, and affirmatively elects on the Release Opt Out Form to opt out of the Non-Debtor Release Provision will not be a Releasing Party or Released Party under the Plan. An encrypted opt-out data and audit trail will be created through the electronic submission process and become part of the record of any opt-out election submitted in this manner. Additionally, any Holder’s electronic signature will be deemed to be legally valid and effective immediately. For the avoidance of doubt, the Voting Agent’s online portal at

13 https://omniagentsolutions.com/Luminar-Ballots (the “Online Portal”) is the sole method for Holders of Claims and Interests in Non-Voting Classes to transmit opt-out elections electronically. All Release Opt Out Forms must be properly completed and returned so as to be actually received by the Voting Agent by March 23, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (Central Time) (the “Opt Out Deadline”) either by (i) delivering the Release Opt Out Form to the Voting Agent by first-class mail, hand delivery, or overnight courier or (ii) submitting the Release Opt Out Form by electronic, online transmission through the Online Portal, each in accordance with the instructions included on the Release Opt Out Form. 6. Voting Deadline. The Bankruptcy Court has established March 23, 2026 as the deadline to submit votes to accept or reject the Plan (the “Voting Deadline”). The Debtors may extend the Voting Deadline, in their discretion, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court. To be counted as a vote to accept or reject the Plan, each Ballot must be properly executed, completed, and timely delivered to the Voting Agent: (i) by first-class mail in the return envelope provided with each Ballot; (ii) by overnight mail; (iii) by hand delivery, (iv) via E-Ballot through the Online Portal, or (v) only with respect to Noteholder Nominee Master Ballots and Notes Nominee Master Ballots, via electronic mail to Omni so that (in each instance) it is actually received by the Voting Agent no later than the Voting Deadline.

BALLOT PROCESSING C/O OMNI AGENT SOLUTIONS, INC. 5955 DE SOTO AVENUE, SUITE 100 WOODLAND HILLS, CALIFORNIA 91367 In all instances, Holders shall consult their Ballot for specific instructions regarding submission of their votes and any elections. The manner of Ballot submission is at the election and risk of the Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes who vote on the Plan. Regardless of the manner of submission, to be counted, Ballots must be actually, timely, and properly received by the Voting Agent by the Voting Deadline. The Debtors strongly recommend submitting electronic Ballots through the Online Portal. Tabulation Procedures. General Rules. The following voting procedures and standard assumptions shall be used in tabulating Ballots, subject to the Debtors’ right to waive any of the below specified requirements

14 for completion and submission of Ballots so long as such requirement is not otherwise required by the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, or Bankruptcy Local Rules: whenever a Holder of Claims casts more than one Ballot voting the same Claims before the Voting Deadline, the latest dated valid Ballot received on or before the Voting Deadline shall be deemed to reflect such Holder’s intent and thus, supersede any previously received Ballot. Following the Voting Deadline, no Ballot may be changed or revoked, absent further order of the Bankruptcy Court or as directed by the Debtors. whenever a Holder of Claims casts a Ballot that is properly completed, executed, and timely returned to the Voting Agent but does not indicate either an acceptance or rejection of the Plan, the Ballot will not be counted. whenever a Holder of Claims casts a Ballot that is properly completed, executed, and timely returned to the Voting Agent but indicates both an acceptance and a rejection of the Plan, the Ballot will not be counted. a Holder shall be deemed to have voted the full amount of its Claim in each Class and shall not be entitled to split its vote within a particular Class or between more than one Debtor. Any such Holder’s Ballot that partially accepts and partially rejects the Plan, between the same or multiple Debtors, will not be counted. a Person signing a Ballot in its capacity as a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney in fact, officer of a corporation, or otherwise acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity of a Holder of Claims should indicate such capacity when signing, and if so requested by the Debtors or the Voting Agent, must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Debtors of its authority to so act. a Holder of Claims against more than one Debtor that casts a single Ballot shall have its votes counted separately with respect to each such Debtor. a Holder of Claims in more than one Class must use separate Ballots for each Class of Claims. the Debtors, unless subject to contrary order of the Bankruptcy Court, may waive any defects or irregularities as to any particular irregular Ballot at any time, either before or after the Voting Deadline. Holders of First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims shall receive one Ballot on account of their Class 3 First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims and their Class 5 First Lien Noteholder Deficiency Claims, as applicable.

Holders of Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claims and Second Lien

15 Noteholder Deficiency Claims must vote each claim consistently, either to accept or reject the Plan. Holders that vote inconsistently may have their vote(s) discarded. the following Ballots shall not be counted: any Ballot received after the Voting Deadline, unless the Debtors shall have granted an extension of the Voting Deadline in writing with respect to such Ballot or waived the late submission; any Ballot that is illegible or contains insufficient information to permit the identification of the voting party; iii. any Ballot cast by a Person or Entity that does not hold a Claim in a Class that is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan; any Ballot cast by a Person or Entity that is not entitled to vote, even if such Person or Entity holds a Claim or Interest in a Voting Class; any unsigned Ballot, provided that E-Ballots submitted on the Online Portal will be deemed to contain a legal, valid signature; any Ballot containing a vote that the Bankruptcy Court determines, after notice and a hearing, was not solicited or procured in good faith or in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code; or vii. any Ballot transmitted to the Voting Agent by e-mail (other than a Notes Nominee Master Ballot) or facsimile or other means not specifically approved herein. b. Rules for Notes Claims. The following rules will apply with respect to the tabulation of Notes Nominee Master Ballots cast by Notes Nominees for Notes Beneficial Holders of Notes Claims, in each case accounting for, and providing separate Ballots for, Holders of First Lien Noteholder Secured Claims and Second Lien Noteholder Secured Claims, as applicable: votes cast by Notes Beneficial Holders through Notes Nominees will be applied to the applicable positions of Notes held by such Notes Nominees as of the Voting Record Date, as evidenced by the applicable records. Votes submitted by a Notes Nominee will not be counted in excess of the amount of such Notes held by such Notes Nominee as of the Voting Record Date; if conflicting votes or “over votes” are submitted by a Notes Nominee, the Debtors will use reasonable efforts to reconcile discrepancies with the Notes Nominees; if over votes on a Notes Nominee Master Ballot are not reconciled prior to the preparation of the vote certification, the Debtors shall apply the votes to accept and to reject the Plan in the same proportion as the votes to accept and to reject the Plan submitted on the Notes Nominee Master Ballot that contained the over-vote; and

16 (d) a single Notes Nominee may complete and deliver to the Voting Agent multiple Notes Nominee Master Ballots. Votes reflected on multiple Notes Nominee Master Ballots will be counted, except to the extent that they are duplicative of other Notes Nominee Master Ballots. If two or more Notes Nominee Master Ballots are inconsistent, the last-dated, valid Notes Nominee Master Ballot received prior to the Voting Deadline will, to the extent of such inconsistency, supersede and revoke any prior-dated Notes Master Nominee Ballot. c. Miscellaneous Rules. Each Holder of Claims that votes to accept or reject the Plan is deemed to have voted the full amount of its Claim therefor. The Voting Agent may, but is not required to, contact parties who submit incomplete or otherwise deficient Ballots to make a reasonable effort to cure such deficiencies, provided that, neither the Debtors nor Voting Agent is required to contact such parties to provide notification of defects or irregularities with respect to completion or delivery of Ballots, nor will any of them incur any liability for failure to provide such notification. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with deliveries of Ballots must be cured within such time as the Debtors (or the Bankruptcy Court) determines. Neither the Debtors nor any other person will be under any duty to provide notification of defects or irregularities with respect to deliveries of Ballots nor will any of them incur any liabilities for failure to provide such notification. Delivery of such Ballots will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Ballots previously furnished (and as to which any irregularities have not theretofore been cured or waived prior to the Voting Deadline) will be invalidated. The Debtors and/or their Voting Agent, as applicable, are authorized to determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance, and revocation or withdrawal of Ballots, which determination will be final and binding on all parties. The Debtors are authorized to reject any and all Ballots submitted by any Holders of Claims not in proper form, the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of the Debtors or their counsel, as applicable, be unlawful. The Debtors are further authorized to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of delivery as to any particular Ballot by any Holders of Claims. The interpretation (including the Ballot and the respective instructions thereto) by the Debtors in accordance with the foregoing sentence will be final and binding on all parties. The Debtors or their Voting Agent shall file the Voting Report on or before March 30, 2026. 8. Confirmation Hearing Notice. Within three (3) days after entry of the Disclosure Statement Order, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Debtors will serve the Holders of Claims and Interests in the Non-Voting Classes via e-mail or first-class mail, a copy of the Confirmation Hearing Notice, which sets forth (i) the Voting Deadline, (ii) the Objection Deadline and procedures for filing

17 objections and responses to confirmation of the Plan, (iii) the time, date, and place for the Confirmation Hearing, and (iv) information about the Plan’s release and injunction provisions in compliance with Bankruptcy Rule 2002(c)(3). The Debtors will separately serve Holders of Claims in Voting Classes with the Confirmation Hearing Notice as part of their Solicitation Packages. The Debtors may, in their discretion, give supplemental publication notice of the Confirmation Hearing, no later than twenty-eight (28) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, in one or more local or foreign newspapers, trade journals, or similar publications as the Debtors deem appropriate. The Debtors reserve the right and are authorized to make non-substantive or immaterial changes to the Disclosure Statement, Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Plan Supplement), Ballots, Confirmation Hearing Notice, and related documents without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, including, without limitation, changes to correct typographical and grammatical errors, if any, and to make conforming changes among the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, and any other materials in the Solicitation Packages before their distribution.

FAQ

What did Luminar Technologies (LAZRQ) disclose about its Chapter 11 process?

Luminar disclosed that the Bankruptcy Court approved its Disclosure Statement, allowing it to solicit votes on a Third Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation. The plan outlines how remaining assets will be liquidated and proceeds distributed among various creditor classes under a global settlement framework.

What is included in Luminar Technologies’ Third Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation?

The Third Amended Plan provides for liquidation of the Debtors’ remaining assets, creation of a liquidation trust, detailed claim classifications, and a waterfall for distributing cash to first-lien, second-lien, and general unsecured creditors. It also incorporates a global settlement with key creditor groups involved in the Chapter 11 cases.

How did the Bankruptcy Court’s order affect Luminar Technologies (LAZRQ)?

The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving Luminar’s Disclosure Statement related to the Third Amended liquidation plan. This order authorizes the Debtors to solicit creditor votes to accept or reject the plan, an essential step before any confirmation hearing and implementation of the proposed liquidation structure.

What did Luminar Technologies say about the risk of trading its securities?

Luminar cautioned that trading its securities during the Chapter 11 cases is highly speculative and involves substantial risk. It noted that trading prices may bear little or no relationship to any eventual recovery in bankruptcy, emphasizing that holders should exercise extreme caution regarding current or future investments.

What does Luminar expect will happen to its equityholders under the plan?

Luminar stated it expects equityholders will experience a complete loss on their investment once the Third Amended Plan is approved and implemented. This reflects the priority structure of Chapter 11, where creditors are paid before shareholders when a company proceeds through a liquidation process.

Is Luminar Technologies’ liquidation plan already approved and effective?

The plan is not yet confirmed. The Bankruptcy Court approved Luminar’s Disclosure Statement and authorized solicitation of votes on the Third Amended Plan. Luminar notes there is no assurance the court will ultimately approve the plan or that the liquidation will be successfully consummated as currently proposed.
