Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

Bidding Procedures, Bid Deadline, Plan and Disclosure Statement, and Additional Debtor Subsidiaries

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Luminar Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) on December 15, 2025 (the “Previous Form 8-K”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on December 15, 2025 thereby commencing chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under Case No. 25-90807 (CML). On December 31, 2025, subsidiaries of the Company, Condor Acquisition Sub I, Inc. and Condor Acquisition Sub II, Inc. (the “Additional Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court thereby commencing chapter 11 cases under case numbers 25-90819 (CML) and 25-90820 (CML), respectively. The Additional Debtors intend to file a motion requesting, among other relief, joint administration of the chapter 11 cases of the Additional Debtors with the Chapter 11 Cases of the Debtors.

The Debtors continue to operate their business and manage their properties as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to Bankruptcy Court documents, is available online at https://omniagentsolutions.com/Luminar, a website administered by Omni Agent Solutions, Inc., the Debtors’ Bankruptcy Court-approved third-party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent, and on the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases, which can be accessed via PACER at https://pacer.gov. The information on these websites and docket is not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute part of, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On December 30, 2025, pursuant to a motion filed by the Debtors, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Bidding Procedures Order”), which, among other things, approved global bidding procedures, and authorized the Debtors to solicit bids for the consideration of the highest or best offer for all or part of the Debtors’ assets. Under the Bidding Procedures Order, potential bidders are required to submit bids for the Debtors’ assets by January 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. (Central Time). In addition, any objections to one or more proposed sale transactions and to the Debtors’ request to take certain actions in connection with the indentures are due on January 20, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (Central Time), as set forth in the Notice of Sale, Global Bidding Procedures, Auction, Indenture-Related Actions, and Sale Hearing (the “Sale Notice”). The Debtors may modify certain dates or times in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order.

On December 30, 2025, the Debtors filed a proposed Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Luminar Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors (the “Plan”) and a related Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan provides for the liquidation of the Debtors’ remaining assets (the “Liquidation”) and the distribution of the proceeds thereof to its stakeholders. The related Disclosure Statement describes, among other things, the Plan, the Liquidation, the events leading up to the Chapter 11 Cases, certain events that have occurred or are anticipated to occur during the Chapter 11 Cases, including the anticipated solicitation of votes to approve the Plan from certain of the Debtors’ creditors, and certain other aspects of the Liquidation.

Although the Debtors intend to pursue the Liquidation in accordance with the terms set forth in the Plan, there can be no assurance that the Plan will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court or that the Debtors will be successful in consummating the Liquidation or any other similar transaction on the terms set forth in the Plan, on different terms or at all. Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of a chapter 11 plan until the Bankruptcy Court approves a disclosure statement relating to the Plan. Accordingly, neither the Debtors’ filing of the Plan and Disclosure Statement, nor this Current Report on Form 8-K, is a solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan. Any such solicitation will be made pursuant to and in accordance with applicable law, including orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Disclosure Statement is being submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for approval but has not been approved by the Bankruptcy Court to date.

Information contained in the Plan and the Disclosure Statement is subject to change, whether as a result of amendments or supplements to the Plan or Disclosure Statement, third-party actions, or otherwise, and should not be relied upon by any party. Such amendments and supplements will also be available for review and free of charge online at https://omniagentsolutions.com/Luminar. Such amendments and supplements may be filed with the Bankruptcy Court without the filing of an accompanying Current Report on Form 8-K. The documents and other information available via any website referenced herein or in the attachments hereto or elsewhere are not part of this Current Report on Form 8-K and shall not be deemed incorporated herein.

Copies of the Plan, Disclosure Statement, and Sale Notice are attached as Exhibit 99.1, 99.2, and 99.3 respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Plan, Disclosure Statement, and Sale Notice is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan and Disclosure Statement.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act.
