Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On November 20, 2024, Luminar Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock,” and together with the Class A Common Stock, “Common Stock”). As previously disclosed, at a special meeting of stockholders held on October 30, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”), the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to amend the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), to effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding Common Stock and any Common Stock held by the Company as treasury shares, at any time prior to December 31, 2024, at a ratio of 1-for-5 to 1-for-20, as determined by the Board in its discretion. As previously disclosed, on November 13, 2024, the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-15 (the “Reverse Stock Split Ratio”). On November 20, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to amend the Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split as of 5:01 p.m., Eastern Time on November 20, 2024 (the “Effective Time”).

Trading of the Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market commenced on a split-adjusted basis on November 21, 2024 under the existing trading symbol “LAZR.” The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 550424 303.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every fifteen (15) shares of Common Stock issued or outstanding were automatically reclassified into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, subject to the treatment of fractional shares as described below, without any action on the part of the holders. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards, as applicable, and warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock, as well as to the number of shares issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans and certain existing agreements. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or the par value of the Common Stock.

In addition, effective as of the Effective Time and based on the Reverse Stock Split Ratio, proportionate adjustments will be made in accordance with the terms of the related indentures, to the conversion rate of the Company’s outstanding 9.0% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2030, 11.5% Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2030 and 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be entitled to a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing sales price per share of the Class A Common Stock (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on November 20, 2024.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
