INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

 

This registration statement contains a “reoffer prospectus” prepared in accordance with Part I of Form S-3 (in accordance with Instruction C of the General Instructions to Form S-8). This reoffer prospectus may be used for reoffers and resales on a continuous or delayed basis of some or all of those shares of Class A common stock (the “Shares”) of indie Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“us”, “we” or the “Registrant”), referred to above that constitute “control securities” or “restricted securities,” as applicable, within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Instruction C of the General Instructions to Form S-8, by certain stockholders that are current and former employees, consultants, directors, and executive officers of the Registrant or its predecessors (the “Selling Stockholders”) for their own accounts. These Shares were received by the Selling Stockholders upon consummation of the business combination between Ay Dee Kay, LLC (“ADK”) and the Registrant, which resulted in the conversion into Shares of the Class B Units that were issued as equity-based compensation by ADK pursuant to the Ay Dee Kay, LLC Class B Unit Purchase Agreements.  As specified in General Instruction C of Form S-8, the amount of securities to be reoffered or resold under the reoffer prospectus by each Selling Stockholder and any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert for the purpose of selling the Registrant’s securities, may not exceed, during any three-month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act.

 

 

 

 

REOFFER PROSPECTUS

 

 

indie Semiconductor, Inc.

3,016,328 shares of Class A Common Stock

 

 

 

This prospectus relates to 3,016,328 shares (the “Shares”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), of indie Semiconductor, Inc. ( “indie,” the “Company” or the “Registrant”), which may be offered from time to time by certain stockholders that are current or former employees, consultants, and advisors of the Registrant (the “Selling Stockholders”) for their own accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Shares by the Selling Stockholders made hereunder. The Shares were acquired by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to certain Aye Dee Kay, LLC Class B Unit Purchase Agreements (the “Class B Agreements”).

 

The Selling Stockholders may sell the securities described in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices, including sales in the open market, sales in negotiated transactions and sales by a combination of these methods. The Selling Stockholders may sell any, all or none of the Shares and we do not know when or in what amount the Selling Stockholders may sell their Shares hereunder following the effective date of this Registration Statement. The price at which any of the Shares may be sold, and the commissions, if any, paid in connection with any such sale, are unknown and may vary from transaction to transaction. The Shares may be sold at the market price of the Class A common stock at the time of a sale, at prices relating to the market price over a period of time, or at prices negotiated with the buyers of Shares. The Shares may be sold through underwriters or dealers which the Selling Stockholders may select. If underwriters or dealers are used to sell the Shares, we will name them and describe their compensation in a prospectus supplement. We provide more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell their Shares in the section titled “Plan of Distribution.” The Selling Stockholders will bear all sales commissions and similar expenses. Any other expenses incurred by us in connection with the registration and offering that are not borne by the Selling Stockholders will be borne by us.

 

Our Class A common stock and our public warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “INDI” and “INDIW,” respectively. On December 7, 2021, the closing price of our Class A common stock was $13.58 and the closing price for our public warrants was $4.57.

 

The amount of securities to be offered or resold under this reoffer prospectus by each Selling Stockholder or other person with whom he or she is acting in concert for the purpose of selling our securities, may not exceed, during any three month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before buying any securities, you should carefully read the discussion of the risks of investing in our securities in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 2 of this prospectus.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) may take the view that, under certain circumstances, the Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Commissions, discounts or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act. See the section titled “Plan of Distribution.”

 

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this prospectus is December 8, 2021.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks or uncertainties.

SPECIAL Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus include statements about:

 

the expected benefits of the business combination between Thunder Bridge Acquisition II, Ltd. and Ay Dee Kay, LLC, dba indie Semiconductor (the “Business Combination”) and our acquisitions of TeraXion, Inc. and Symeo GmbH;

 

our future financial performance;

 

changes in our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, margins, cash flows, prospects and plans;

 

the impact of health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business and the actions we may take in response thereto;

 

our expansion plans and opportunities; and

 

the outcome of any known and unknown regulatory proceedings.

 

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are only predictions and are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

 

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievements. Moreover, the forward-looking statements made or incorporated by reference in this prospectus relate only to the events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.

 

You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated herein and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

This prospectus relates to the resale by the Selling Stockholders from time to time of up to 3,016,328 shares of Class A common stock issued to the Selling Stockholders in connection with the Aye Dee Kay, LLC Class B Unit Purchase Agreements. The Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Class A common stock set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “Selling Stockholders” in this prospectus, we refer to the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and other permitted transferees that hold any of the Selling Stockholders’ interest in the shares of Class A common stock after the date of this prospectus.

 

The following table sets forth information concerning the shares of Class A common stock that may be offered from time to time by each Selling Stockholder. We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Stockholders will in fact sell any or all of such shares of Class A common stock. In particular, the Selling Stockholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their securities after the date on which they provided us with information regarding their securities in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

 

The following table sets forth certain information provided by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders concerning the Class A common stock that may be offered from time to time by each Selling Stockholder with this prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution.” For the purposes of this following table, we have assumed that the Selling Stockholders will have sold all of the securities covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering.

 

The percentage ownership of voting securities in the following table is based on 112,287,610 shares of our Class A common stock deemed issued and 33,827,371 shares of our Class V common stock deemed issued and outstanding. This amount includes 101,482,466 shares of our Class A common stock deemed issued and 33,827,831 shares of our Class V common stock deemed issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and also includes the 5,805,144 shares of Class A common stock issued on October 12, 2021 to the Selling Stockholders in the TeraXion acquisition as well as 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock issued on November 15, 2021 as the result of achieving the First Earnout Milestone as if such shares were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021. The 5,054,113 shares of Class A common stock issued in the TeraXion acquisition are held in escrow or are restricted Class A common stock that are issued but are considered beneficially owned as of September 30, 2021 because such shares carry voting rights even though they are subject to forfeiture. The beneficial ownership information in this table excludes the shares underlying outstanding warrants, any shares issued upon achievement of the earn-out in the Business Combination after September 30, 2021, and shares subject to outstanding grants or awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. None of the Selling Stockholders own or are offering for sale any shares of Class V common stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering for resale by the Selling Stockholders from time to time up to 3,016,328 shares of Class A common stock. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A common stock by the Selling Stockholders. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders will be the purchase price of the securities less any discounts and commissions borne by the Selling Stockholders.

 

The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders in disposing of the securities. We are required to pay all other fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of our Class A common stock to be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus.

 

The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. Each Selling Stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchase of securities to be made directly or through agents. The Selling Stockholders and any of their permitted transferees may sell their securities offered by this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. If underwriters are used in the sale, such underwriters will acquire the shares for their own account. These sales may be at a fixed price or varying prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The securities may be offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions.

 

The Selling Stockholders may sell their shares by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

 

block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the offered securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq;

 

through trading plans entered into by a Selling Stockholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;

through the distribution of the securities by any Selling Stockholder to its partners, members or stockholders

 

through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;

 

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

agreements with broker-dealers to sell a specified number of the securities at a stipulated price per share or warrant;

 

in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;

 

in privately negotiated transactions;

 

in options transactions;

 

through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

There can be no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell all or any of the securities offered by this prospectus. In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of securities if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in the sale of the Shares will be subject to the . The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular Shares being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Shares.

 

The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

 

The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided in its certificate of incorporation. Each indemnification agreement provides for indemnification and advancements by the registrant of certain expenses and costs relating to claims, suits or proceedings arising from his or her service to the registrant or, at the registrant’s request, service to other entities, as officers or directors to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. The registrant believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract qualified directors.

 

The registrant also maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (1) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, while acting in their capacity as directors and officers of the registrant, and (2) to the registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to any indemnification provision contained in the registrant’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or otherwise as a matter of law.

 

The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the statute, the registrant’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended to date, and the arrangements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

  (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; providedhowever, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
