Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Master Receivables Purchase Agreement

On February 27, 2024, Fluence Energy, LLC ("Fluence"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fluence Energy, Inc., entered into a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement, by and among Fluence and any other seller from time to time party thereto, as sellers and servicers, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank ("CACIB"), as purchaser (the "Agreement"). The Agreement provides Fluence a mechanism to potentially offer extended payment terms to customers when requested, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Fluence may sell certain receivables (the “Purchased Receivables”) to CACIB from time to time, and CACIB may agree to purchase the Purchased Receivables in each case, on an uncommitted basis. The Agreement provides that the outstanding amount of all Purchased Receivables under the Agreement will not exceed $75.0 million, with sublimits for each account debtor and for certain kinds of receivables. The purchase price for the Purchased Receivables reflects a discount rate of 1.7% per annum for the Purchased Receivables of the initial account debtor and a per annum rate to be mutually agreed upon for any additional account debtors. Fluence intends to, but is not obligated to, pass through the cost of the purchase discount under the Agreement to the applicable customers, as may be negotiated in each case. The Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time by 30 days’ prior written notice. Fluence has granted CACIB a security interest in the Purchased Receivables, and proceeds thereof, as more fully described in the Agreement, in order to perfect CACIB’s ownership interest in the Purchased Receivables and secure the payment and performance of all obligations of Fluence to CACIB under the Agreement. The Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and covenants.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety, by the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to Fluence Energy, Inc.'s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The disclosure set forth above under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
