Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

On December 8, 2021, Wolfspeed, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to holders of the Company’s 0.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) calling for redemption (the “Redemption”) of all outstanding Notes. A copy of the Redemption Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.04.

On December 23, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”), all then-outstanding Notes that are called for Redemption and have not been submitted for conversion will be repurchased for cash at a price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Notes that are called for Redemption may be submitted for conversion at any time before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second business day before the Redemption Date (or, if the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, at any time until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for). The Company currently expects that holders of Notes called for Redemption will convert such Notes before the Redemption Date. However, those holders are not obligated to convert their Notes, and the Company will be required to pay the Redemption Price for all Notes called for Redemption that have not been converted. Notes that are converted after they are called for Redemption will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share) at the conversion rate. As of the date of the Redemption Notice, the conversion rate of the Notes is 16.6745 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. However, in accordance with the Indenture referred to below, the Conversion Rate applicable to Notes called for Redemption that are converted during the period beginning on, and including, December 8, 2021, and ending on, and including, December 21, 2021 will be increased to 16.7769 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

The Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of August 24, 2018, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The above description of the certain provisions of the Indenture is a summary and is not complete. A copy of the Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the above summary is qualified by reference to the terms of the Indenture set forth in such exhibit.
