Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
2028 Notes Subscription Agreements, Indenture & Security Agreement
On April 17, 2023, Porch Group, Inc. (“Porch” or the “Company”) entered into convertible note subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”), each dated April 17, 2023, with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the “2028 Notes Offering”) expected to close on April 20, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), $333,334,000 in aggregate principal amount of a new series of 6.75% convertible senior secured notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). The 2028 Notes are to be issued under an indenture to be entered into among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association (“U.S. Bank”), in its capacity as trustee and as collateral agent thereunder (the “Indenture”).
The 2028 Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis (the “Guarantees”) by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries except for: (i) any foreign subsidiary, (ii) any not-for-profit subsidiary, (iii) any subsidiary (including any regulated insurance subsidiary) that is not permitted by law or regulation, or would require unaffiliated third-party consent, approval, license or authorization (including from any governmental authority or regulator) (in the case of any such consent, approval, license or authorization, solely to the extent that such subsidiary has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent, approval, license or authorization, as applicable) to incur indebtedness or to provide a guarantee of the 2028 Notes, or pledge a security interest in its assets, unless such restriction is removed or such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received, and (iv) any unrestricted subsidiary (such subsidiaries providing Guarantees, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The 2028 Notes will be secured by a first-priority lien, subject only to certain permitted liens, in substantially all assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, subject to customary exclusions, pursuant to a security and pledge agreement (the “Security Agreement”) to be entered into concurrently with the Indenture by and among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, and U.S. Bank, as collateral agent on behalf of the holders of the 2028 Notes.
The 2028 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum from and including the Closing Date, payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2023 (and if such day is not a business day, then on the immediately succeeding business day). The 2028 Notes will mature on October 1, 2028, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.
The 2028 Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“common stock”), or a combination of cash and shares of common stock at Porch’s election at an initial conversion rate of 39.9956 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $25.00 per share.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company, the holders of the 2028 Notes may instead require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their 2028 Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a repurchase price that will be equal to 105.25% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any.
If more than $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s existing 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) remain outstanding on June 14, 2026, holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash on June 15, 2026 all or any portion of their 2028 Notes, in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, at a repurchase price equal to 106.5% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
At any time when the Company and its restricted subsidiaries receive Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the Indenture) of more than $2.5 million in excess of the Asset Sale Threshold (as defined below) (such excess Net Cash Proceeds, the “Excess Proceeds”), the Company will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all holders of 2028 Notes to repurchase 2028 Notes for an aggregate amount of cash equal to 50.0% of such Excess Proceeds (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Net Cash Proceeds previously applied to the repurchase of any 2028 Notes pursuant to any preceding Asset Sale Offer), at a repurchase price per 2028 Note equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant purchase date, if any. “Asset Sale Threshold” will
