The company is also expected to grant an option to purchase up to an additional $26.25 million in notes within a 13-day period starting from the issuance date. The notes, which are senior unsecured obligations, will be convertible into cash, indie's Class A common stock, or a combination of both, at indie's discretion. Interest payments are scheduled semiannually starting June 15, 2025, with the notes maturing on December 15, 2029, unless repurchased, redeemed, or converted earlier.

In conjunction with the note pricing, indie plans to enter into capped call transactions to minimize dilution from the conversion of the notes or to offset cash payments above the principal amount. These transactions may affect indie's common stock market price, as the option counterparties engage in various derivative transactions and may buy or sell indie's common stock in secondary market transactions.

The proceeds from the offering will be used to pay for the capped call transactions, with the remaining funds allocated for working capital and general corporate purposes, which could include potential acquisitions, although no agreements are currently in place.

The notes and the shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and will not be offered or sold in the U.S. without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
