Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Convertible Promissory Note

On June 20, 2023, Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Asia-IO Advanced Manufacturing Partners, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“Asia-IO”). The Note is a general unsecured obligation of the Company. Up to $4.0 million in aggregate principal under the Note in an aggregate principal amount up to $7.0 million may be drawn from time to time prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below) upon one or more written requests from the Company to Asia-IO. Up to an additional $3.0 million may be drawn from time to time prior to the Maturity Date one or more written requests from the Company to Asia-IO so long as such additional amounts drawn down are used for purposes of paying amounts payable by the Company in connection with the Company’s previously announced proposed acquisition of Optimum Design Associates, Inc. Amounts drawn under the Note will be loaned to the Company at an original issue discount of 3.0%. The unpaid principal balance of each drawdown under the Note will bear simple interest at the rate of 12.0% per annum from the date of the applicable drawdown until repayment of such drawdown amount. Interest on any drawdown under the Note will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual number of days elapsed.

Unless earlier converted into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms of the Note or accelerated as a result of an event of default under the Note, the entire unpaid principal balance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest on the Note will be due and payable on June 20, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). All or any portion of any amount drawn under the Note may be prepaid by the Company at any time and from time to time within 120 days of such drawdown without the prior written consent of Asia-IO. Concurrently with such prepayment, the Company will be required pay to Asia-IO an additional amount equal to 4.0% of such prepayment amount. Any payments will be applied first to any accrued and unpaid interest and then to reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Note.

The Note includes customary representations, warranties and covenants with respect to the Company and Asia-IO. The Note also includes customary events of default. Subject to certain limited exceptions, upon any event of default, the Note will be accelerated and all amounts outstanding under the Note will become due and payable immediately. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the Company will be prohibited from making any additional drawdown requests under the Note except with the prior written consent of Asia-IO and Asia-IO shall not be required to fund any such additional drawdown request.

With respect to any amount drawn by the Company that the Company has not prepaid within 120 days of such drawdown, Asia-IO may, at any time and from time to time following such 120-day period upon written notice to the Company, convert all or any portion of such drawdown amount (including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, calculated as of the date of such written notice) equal to or greater than $500,000 (the “Voluntary Conversion Amount”), into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the Voluntary Conversion Amount divided by (y) an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0.55 and (ii) the last reported closing sale price (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the last bid price and the last ask price per share or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average last bid prices and the average last ask prices) (the “Last Reported Sale Price”) of a share of Common Stock as of the date of notice relating to such voluntary conversion.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, if (i) (A) the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock as of the trading day immediately preceding the Maturity Date is equal to or greater than $1.10 or (B) the volume-weighted average price of a share of Common Stock for a period of at least 40 calendar days out of any 60 consecutive calendar day period following the date of the Note and ending on the Maturity Date is equal to or greater than $1.10 (such date, the “VWAP Trigger Date”), then the Company may, upon written notice to Asia-IO, convert the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon (the “Mandatory Conversion Amount”) as of the date of such notice into a number of shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to (x) the Mandatory Conversion Amount as of the date of such notice divided by (y) the average volume-weighted average price of a share of Common Stock during the 20 trading day period ending on, (z) in the case of a conversion pursuant to clause (i)(A) above, the trading day immediately prior to the Maturity Date, and (B) in the case of a conversion pursuant to clause (i)(B) above, the VWAP Trigger Date.

The foregoing description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

On June 20, 2023, contemporaneously with issuance of the Note, the Company and Asia-IO entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 in accordance with the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, certain shares of Tempo common stock and other equity securities of the Company that are held by Asia-IO and/or its permitted transferees from time to time (collectively, the “Holders,” including any shares of Common Stock received upon conversion of any drawdown amount under the Note). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Holders will be entitled to certain rights to demand underwritten offerings and piggyback registration rights.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events

As previously disclosed, on June 20, 2023, Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Asia-IO Advanced Manufacturing Partners, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“Asia-IO”), under which the Company is entitled to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $7.0 million, of which up to $4.0 million may be drawn from time to time and up to an additional $3.0 million (the “Additional Amounts”) may be drawn by the Company as long as such Additional Amounts are used for purposes of paying amounts payable by the Company in connection with the Company’s previously announced proposed acquisition of Optimum Design Associates, Inc. Under the Note, Asia-IO is required deliver the funds to the Company within five (5) business days, with respect to the Company’s initial draw request, or within ten (10) business days, with respect to each subsequent draw request.

The Company has delivered its initial draw request under the Note and has not yet received any funds despite the passage of the fund delivery period specified in the Note. As previously disclosed, the Company has experienced negative cash flows since inception that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, in order to fund the Company’s planned operations while meeting obligations as they come due, the Company requires additional debt or equity financing immediately.

The Company continues to interact with Asia-IO to obtain the amounts requested under the Note, and the Company is also continuing to work to identify alternative sources of capital and means of reducing expenses that may permit the Company to continue as a going concern, including raising debt or equity capital from alternative sources, engaging in a temporary reduction or furlough of the Company’s workforce, and other alternatives. However, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional capital, either through draws under the Note or from other third-party sources, or reduce expenses. Any failure to obtain additional financing will adversely impact the Company’s ability to continue operations in the short term unless the Company is able to secure additional financing.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the Company’s business, including statements regarding the ability of Tempo to draw amounts under the Note and the Company’s efforts to identify alternative sources of capital and means of reducing expenses, and the Company’s ability to continue operations. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this report, including the risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including its past and future periodic reports and other filings. Such factors and risks do not constitute all factors and risks that could cause actual results of the Company to be materially different from the Company’s forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of today, and the Company does not intend, and has no obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report, except as required by law.
