INDIE SEMICONDUCTOR, INC.

SUPPLEMENT TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JUNE 22, 2022

On May 2, 2022, indie Semiconductor, Inc. (“indie” or the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at 9:00 a.m., Pacific Time. As previously disclosed, the board of directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on April 25, 2022 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

In the Proxy Statement, the beneficial ownership information on pages 24-26 (including the table) overstates the number of shares owned by Thunder Bridge Acquisition II LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Gary A. Simanson and understates the number of shares owned by Peter Kight due to an inadvertent failure to adjust the number of shares distributed by the Sponsor to its members. The Company is providing this proxy statement supplement (this “Supplement”) solely to correct the number of shares beneficially owned by Peter Kight and to remove the Sponsor and Gary A. Simanson as greater than 5% holders from the beneficial ownership information.

Accordingly, the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” that currently appears on pages 24-26 of the Proxy Statement is replaced in its entirety with the following:

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Beneficial Ownership Table

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by:

● each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our issued and outstanding Class A common stock and Class V common stock;

● each of our named executive officers and directors; and

● all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below will have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Class A common stock and Class V common stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

Subject to the paragraph above, the percentage ownership of common stock is based on 116,946,311 shares of our Class A common stock and 30,119,808 shares of our Class V common stock deemed issued and outstanding as of April 25, 2022. Of the 116,946,311 shares of our Class A common stock deemed issued and outstanding as of April 25, 2022, 2,769,096 of such shares are the 1,725,000 Sponsor Escrow Shares and 1,044,095 of such shares are restricted shares of Class A common stock that are issued and are considered beneficially owned as of April 25, 2022 because such shares carry voting rights even though they are subject to forfeiture. The beneficial ownership information below excludes the shares underlying outstanding warrants, any shares issued upon the achievement of the earn-out in the Business Combination after April 25, 2022, and shares subject to outstanding grants or awards under the Equity Incentive Plan, except to the extent they are exercisable by the holder within 60 days of April 25, 2022 (in which case they are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the beneficial ownership of the person holdings such securities, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the beneficial ownership of any other person).
