Note 3. Bankruptcy Proceedings
Chapter 11 Cases
On December 15, 2025 and December 31, 2025, as applicable, the Debtors filed the Bankruptcy Petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court thereby
commencing the Chapter 11 Cases. LSI, LSI’s subsidiaries and the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are not Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases.
The Company filed the Chapter 11 Cases with the support of the holders of approximately 91.3% of notes under the First Lien Indenture, dated August 8, 2024, by and between the Company and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee (the notes issued thereunder, “1L Notes”) and the holders of approximately 85.8% of notes under the Second Lien Indenture, dated August 8, 2024, by and between the Company and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee (the notes
issued thereunder, “2L Notes”) (collectively, the “Ad Hoc Group”).
On December 15, 2025, prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company, LSI, and Quantum Computing Inc. (“QCi”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
“LSI Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which QCi, the proposed stalking horse bidder, agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of LSI, for a total purchase price of $110.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments as contemplated by the LSI Stock Purchase Agreement. The transaction was subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and other
customary closing conditions.
In addition to the Bankruptcy Petitions, the Company filed, among other things, a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases
under the caption “In re Luminar Technologies, Inc. et al”. Following the Petition Date, the Debtors continued to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy
Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. To ensure their ability to maintain operations in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors filed with
the Bankruptcy Court certain motions seeking a variety of customary “first day” relief, including authority to pay employee wages and benefits, honor customer programs, pay certain critical vendors and suppliers for goods and services, and continue
honoring insurance and tax obligations as they come due. To facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Bankruptcy Petitions, fund the Chapter 11 Cases, and support operations throughout the marketing and sale process, the Ad Hoc Group
consented to the Debtors’ use of cash collateral, including the Debtors’ use of approximately $25.0 million of cash on hand as of the
Petition Date. The Ad Hoc Group’s consent to the Debtors’ continued use of cash collateral is conditioned on certain terms, including, without limitation, the Debtors’ adherence to a budget with an agreed upon variance, regular reporting
requirements, and meeting certain milestones in the Chapter 11 Cases.
On December 30, 2025, pursuant to a motion filed by the Debtors, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Bidding Procedures Order, which, among other things,
approved global bidding procedures, and authorized the Debtors to solicit bids for the consideration of the highest or otherwise best offer for all or part of the Debtors’ assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. On the same date,
the Debtors filed initial proposed versions of the Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Luminar Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors and a related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan of Liquidation provides for the
liquidation of the Debtors’ remaining assets and the distribution of the proceeds thereof to its stakeholders and was subsequently amended on January 29, 2026, February 17, 2026, and February 18, 2026.
Commencing in February 2026 through the date hereof, the Company has sold substantially all of its assets and ceased business operations, and is in the process of
winding down its remaining operations and pursuing confirmation the Plan of Liquidation. For additional information regarding these transactions, see Note 21, “Subsequent Events”.
Liabilities Subject to Compromise
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, includes amounts classified as liabilities subject to compromise, which represent pre-petition liabilities the
Company anticipates will be allowed as claims in the Chapter 11 Cases. These amounts represent the Company’s current estimate of known or potential obligations to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and may differ from actual
future settlement amounts paid. Differences between liabilities estimated and claims filed, or to be filed, will be investigated and resolved in connection with the claims resolution process. Any distributions, if made, will be administered in
accordance with the priority scheme and distribution waterfall set forth in the Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation.
