Business Context and Reporting Period
Momentus Inc. filed this Current Report on February 23, 2023, regarding entry into definitive agreements for a registered securities offering. The filing does not report quarterly or annual operating results and does not provide a financial reporting period.
Offering and Key Financial Terms

- In lieu of common stock, the investor may receive pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,170,043 shares. The warrants have a $0.00001 exercise price, may be exercised immediately after issuance, and do not expire until fully exercised, subject to authorized-share availability.
- The offering also includes warrants to purchase 11,566,043 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.15 per share. These warrants become exercisable on August 27, 2023 and expire on August 27, 2028.
- Expected aggregate gross proceeds are approximately $10 million, before offering expenses. The filing does not provide a final net proceeds amount.
- Placement-agent compensation is 6.5% of gross proceeds, plus reimbursement of $50,000 of expenses.
- Net proceeds are expected to be used to satisfy certain company stock repurchase obligations.
- The offering was expected to close on or about February 27, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.
Material Changes, Dilution, and Governance Terms
- The transaction could result in the issuance of up to 21,132,086 shares through common stock and exercise of the pre-funded warrants and warrants, subject to the terms of the agreements and authorized-share availability.
- The filing does not provide the company’s pre-offering shares outstanding, pro forma ownership, or quantified dilution percentage.
- Pre-funded warrant exercises are subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation. Regular warrant exercises are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.
- For 18 months after the agreement date, the investor agreed to vote its shares in favor of the board’s recommendations and accepted restrictions on proxy solicitations, director nominations, board representation efforts, group formation, certain business-combination proposals, and other activist activities.
Liquidity, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- The approximately $10 million gross financing is intended to provide funds for stock repurchase obligations, rather than being identified as funding for operations or capital expenditures.
- The filing provides no updated revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, cash balance, or liquidity metrics.
- Closing is conditional and the proceeds are not guaranteed until the transaction closes. Offering expenses will reduce available proceeds.
- Future warrant exercise could provide additional capital but would also increase the number of outstanding shares and potentially dilute existing holders.
- The filing states that the transaction agreements contain customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification obligations, closing conditions, and termination provisions.
