Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

On May 17, 2023, Bloom Energy Corporation (the “Company”) issued a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to holders of the Company’s 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) calling for redemption (the “Redemption”) of all of the $57,645,041.00 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

On June 1, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”), noteholders will be entitled to receive, with respect to the Notes held by such noteholder, 104% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (collectively, the “Redemption Amount”). Noteholders must surrender their Notes to U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as paying agent, to collect the Redemption Amount. Noteholders may not decline to have their Notes redeemed pursuant to the Redemption.

The Notes, and the terms of the Redemption, are governed by an indenture, dated as of May 1, 2020, among the Company, the guarantor named therein, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee and collateral agent (the “Indenture”). The above description of certain provisions of the Indenture is a summary and is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.4 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2020.
