Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 16, 2022, BorgWarner Inc. (the "Company" or "BorgWarner") entered
into a letter agreement with Wolfspeed, Inc. (NYSE: WOLF) ("Wolfspeed") under
which BorgWarner agreed to invest up to $500 million in a not-less-than $1
billion convertible debt offering (the "Offering") by Wolfspeed, a semiconductor
company focused on silicon carbide and GaN technologies. The Offering will
consist of convertible promissory notes issued by Wolfspeed that will be
convertible into Wolfspeed stock. The specific terms of the Offering will be
determined through negotiations between Wolfspeed and one or more financial
investors in the Offering. However, BorgWarner has no obligation to invest in
the Offering if the Offering does not close on or before May 15, 2023 (or such
later date as may be agreed upon by BorgWarner and Wolfspeed). Simultaneously
with the execution of the letter agreement, BorgWarner and Wolfspeed entered
into an agreement under which Wolfspeed agreed to provide a silicon carbide
manufacturing capacity corridor to BorgWarner. Under the multiyear agreement
between BorgWarner and Wolfspeed, beginning in 2024, BorgWarner will be entitled
to purchase up to $650 million of devices annually as BorgWarner requirements
increase.
