Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, in April 2017 Plug Power Inc. (the "Company") issued a
warrant to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC to acquire up to 55,286,696
shares of the Company's common stock. The vesting of the warrant is linked to
payments made by Amazon.com, Inc. and its affiliates to the Company pursuant to
existing commercial agreements. As of November 2, 2020, 34,917,912 shares had
vested under the warrant at an exercise price of $1.1893 per share based on
total cumulative spending with the Company in excess of $200 million. Under the
terms of the warrant, at the same time the exercise price for the unvested
20,368,784 shares was set at $13.81005 per share. On December 31, 2020, the
Company waived the remaining vesting conditions under the warrant, which
resulted in the vesting of the remaining 20,368,784 unvested shares under the
warrant. This vesting is expected to result in a substantial one-time non-cash
charge in the quarter ended December 31, 2020, to eliminate the need to
recognize future quarterly non-cash charges for this warrant and to simplify the
Company's financial reporting going forward. The details of the warrant and
vesting will be described in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ending December 31, 2020 to be filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements include, but are not
limited to, statements regarding the expectation of a substantial one-time
non-cash charge in the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and the elimination of
future quarterly non-cash charges. Although the Company presently believes that
the plans, expectations and anticipated results expressed in or suggested by the
forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K are reasonable, all
forward-looking statements are inherently subjective, uncertain and subject to
change, as they involve substantial risks and uncertainties, including those
beyond the Company's control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is
not possible for the Company to predict the nature, or assess the potential
impact, of each new factor on the Company's business. These and other potential
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the
results predicted are more fully detailed in the Company's filings and reports
with the SEC, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019, as amended and supplemented by the Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30,
2020, as well as other filings and reports that are filed by the Company from
time to time with the SEC. The Company disclaims any obligation to update
forward-looking statements.
