Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 18, 2023, Terran Orbital Corporation (the “Company”) entered into agreements, including a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a registered public offering (the “Offering”), (i) an aggregate of 11,678,575 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 23,214,290 shares of common stock (the “Common Warrants”) and (iii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 11,535,715 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The Common Warrants will have an exercise price of $1.50, will be immediately exercisable and will have a term of exercise equal to five years following the original issuance date. The Pre-Funded Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.0001, will be immediately exercisable and will be able to be exercised at any time after their original issuance until such Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The Shares were offered at a public offering price of $1.40 per Share and accompanying Common Warrant, and the Pre-Funded Warrants were offered at a public offering price of $1.3999 per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed for a period of 90 days following the closing of the Offering not to issue, enter into an agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of shares of common stock or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of common stock. Such restriction does not apply to, in addition to certain customary exceptions, certain securities issuances, the issuance by the Company of equity or debt securities pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested directors, where not for the purpose of raising capital, or certain other compensatory issuances. The Company has also agreed for a period of one year following the closing date of the Offering not to (i) issue or agree to issue equity or debt securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of common stock at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange price which floats with the trading price of the shares of common stock or which may be adjusted after issuance upon the occurrence of certain events or (ii) enter into any agreement, including an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future-determined price, subject to an exception for certain at-the-market offerings beginning ninety days after the closing date of this offering. Additionally, the Company's directors and officers agreed to be subject to a lock-up period of 90 days following the closing of the Offering. Subject to certain exceptions, the lock-up restricts the Company's officers and directors from offering, selling, contracting to sell, hypothecating, pledging or otherwise disposing of (or entering into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition of), directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of our common stock during the lock-up period.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions.

The securities are being offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed with the SEC on April 3, 2023 and subsequently declared effective on April 18, 2023 (File No. 333-271093), the prospectus supplement thereunder dated September 18, 2023 and the accompanying base prospectus dated as of April 18, 2023. The Offering is expected to close on or about September 21, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) acted as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. In connection with the Offering, the Company has agreed to pay Wainwright a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received in the Offering, up to $150,000 for legal fees and expenses and up to $15,950 for closing-related expenses. In addition, the Company has agreed to grant placement agent warrants to Wainwright to purchase up to 7.0% of the aggregate amount of Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The terms of the Placement Agent Warrants are substantially the same as the terms of the Common Warrants, except the Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price of $1.75 per share and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the commencement of sales of the Offering. Wainwright did not purchase or sell any of the Shares, the Common Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants and was not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities.

The foregoing descriptions of the Common Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants and the Purchase Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms thereof, which are attached as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering will be approximately $32.5 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company anticipates using the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, working capital, research and development, maintenance of the liquidity covenant in debt documents and general and administrative expenses.

A copy of the legal opinion and consent of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, counsel to the Company, relating to the validity of the issuance and sale of the Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties thereof. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties


to the securities purchase agreement and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the form of Purchase Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transactions. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

On September 18, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the proposed public Offering and a press release announcing the pricing of the Offering.
