Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Agreement.

Purchase Agreement

On May 12, 2020, Lyft, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”), to issue and sell $650 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). In addition, the Company granted the Initial Purchasers a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $97.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes on the same terms and conditions.

The Company offered and sold the Notes to the Initial Purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and for resale by the Initial Purchasers to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company relied on these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Initial Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement. The shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

To the extent that any shares of the Class A Common Stock are issued upon conversion of the Notes, they will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof because no commission or other remuneration is expected to be paid in connection with conversion of the Notes and any resulting issuance of shares of the Class A Common Stock.

The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Convertible Notes and the Indenture

The Company issued the Notes pursuant to an Indenture, dated May 15, 2020 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the Notes become automatically due and payable. The Company also granted the Initial Purchasers of the Notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $97.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes (the “Additional Notes”).

The Notes will mature on May 15, 2025, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes will bear interest from May 15, 2020 at a rate of 1.50% per year payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2020. The Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 15, 2025, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after February 15, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of


the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying and/or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Class A Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Indenture. The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 26.0491 shares of the Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $38.39 per share of the Class A Common Stock. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 30% to the $29.53 per share closing price of the Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 12, 2020. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to May 20, 2023. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after May 20, 2023, if the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period, ending on and including the trading day preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the Notes periodically.

A copy of the Indenture (including the form of the Note) is attached as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference (and this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document).

The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $637.5 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated offering expenses related to the offering. The Company used approximately $115.4 million of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions (as defined below). If the Initial Purchasers exercise their option to purchase Additional Notes, the Company expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of such Additional Notes to enter into additional Capped Call Transactions with the Option Counterparties (as defined below). The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, and potential acquisitions and strategic transactions.

Capped Call Transactions

On May 12, 2020, in connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the Initial Purchasers or their respective affiliates (the “Option Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Notes sold in the offering. The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to the Class A Common Stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions will initially be $73.83 per share, which represents a premium of 150% over the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock of $29.53 per share on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 12, 2020, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions.

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the Option Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.

The foregoing description of the Capped Call Transactions is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of call option transaction confirmation relating to the Capped Call Transactions attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
