The private placement deal encompassed two convertible notes, each valued at $10 million, resulting in two tranches of $9 million each being allocated to Nxu Inc. The first tranche was disbursed in the fourth quarter of 2022, followed by the second tranche in the first quarter of 2023. Through a series of conversions, Nxu Inc. has substantially paid down its convertible notes, effectively removing the corresponding liabilities from its balance sheet. Notably, the investors still retain warrants enabling them to acquire up to 1,711,306 shares of Class A common stock.
Chief Financial Officer of Nxu Inc., Apoorv Dwivedi, emphasized the positive impact of this substantial repayment, stating, “The substantial repayment of the Notes greatly strengthens our balance sheet. Additionally, this provides the Company with increased flexibility to execute on our strategy to develop and grow our charging infrastructure business.”
Furthermore, on November 1, Nxu Inc. unveiled plans to launch a subscription service tailored for users of its Nxu One Megawatt+ Charging System. Priced at $69 per month, subscribers will gain access to unlimited charging at one of the most powerful public charging stations situated in the Phoenix metro area. This initiative is set to offer an attractive proposition for consumers seeking efficient and cost-effective charging solutions.
The move to extinguish the majority of the convertible notes reflects Nxu Inc.’s strategic financial management and commitment to fortifying its fiscal position. The ensuing decline in the company’s stock value on the market indicates the market’s immediate response to this development. With the liabilities substantially cleared, Nxu Inc. now stands in a more robust position to pursue its objectives in the burgeoning EV charging and energy storage sector. Additionally, the newly introduced subscription service underscores the company’s dedication to providing accessible and convenient charging options for its customer base.
