On December 19, 2020, GigCapital2, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) issued a convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 to GigAcquisitions2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Sponsor”). Our Sponsor is an entity affiliated with our executive officers, directors and our other advisors and is our largest stockholder. The Company issued the Working Capital Note in consideration for a loan from the Sponsor to fund the Company’s working capital requirements between now and March 10, 2021, which is the period of time that the Company has available to complete its initial business combination following the December 8, 2020 amendment to its certificate of incorporation. The Working Capital Note was issued to provide the Company with additional working capital and will not be deposited into the Company’s trust account. The Working Capital Note is convertible at the Sponsor’s election upon the consummation of the proposed business combinations, described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 23, 2020 (the “Business Combinations”).

Upon such election, the Working Capital Note will convert, at a price of $10.00 per unit, into units identical to the private placement units issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.

The Working Capital Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the consummation of the Company’s Business Combinations.

The foregoing description is only a summary of the Working Capital Note, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Working Capital Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the issuance of the Working Capital Note is incorporated by reference herein.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. An aggregate of 30,000 private placement units of the Company would be issued if the entire principal balance of the Working Capital Note is converted. The warrants constituting a part of the units would be exercisable, subject to the terms and conditions of the warrant and during the exercise period as provided in the warrant agreement governing the warrants. The rights constituting a part of the units are exchangeable, subject to the terms and conditions of the rights, for common shares as provided in the right agreement governing the rights. The Company has relied upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Working Capital Note, as it was issued to a sophisticated investor without a view to distribution, and was not issued through any general solicitation or advertisement.
