LanzaTech Global (LNZA) entered into amended agreements with LanzaJet and partners to update ownership, financing, and licensing terms tied to LanzaJet’s sustainable aviation fuel platform.

The new Second Amended and Restated Investment Agreement removes the prior project‑specific investment condition and provides that LanzaJet will issue to LanzaTech a second tranche of 15,000,000 LanzaJet shares promptly after execution and a third tranche of 15,000,000 shares no later than December 31, 2025, or promptly after a specified development milestone if not achieved by those dates. If LanzaJet undertakes a sale or IPO before those issuances and LanzaTech would hold under 50% immediately prior to completion, LanzaJet will issue additional shares so LanzaTech holds at least 50%.

The amendment also permits certain lenders to convert loans to LanzaJet shares at a fair market value price set by disinterested directors. The license amendment lifts certain sublicensing restrictions, removes LanzaTech’s right to terminate the license if commercial milestones are not met by December 31, 2025, and commits LanzaTech to use commercially reasonable efforts to assign the Battelle License to LanzaJet.

LanzaTech Global (LNZA) ha stipulato accordi modificati con LanzaJet e i partner per aggiornare la proprietà, il finanziamento e i termini di licenza legati alla piattaforma di carburante per aviazione sostenibile di LanzaJet.

Il nuovo Secondo Accordo di Investimento Modificato e Riordinato elimina la precedente condizione di investimento legata al progetto e prevede che LanzaJet emetterà a LanzaTech una seconda tranche di 15.000.000 azioni LanzaJet prontamente dopo l’esecuzione e una terza tranche di 15.000.000 azioni non oltre il 31 dicembre 2025, oppure prontamente dopo una determinata pietra miliare di sviluppo se non raggiunta entro tali date. Se LanzaJet effettua una vendita o un’IPO prima di tali emissioni e LanzaTech detiene meno del 50% immediatamente prima del completamento, LanzaJet emetterà azioni aggiuntive affinché LanzaTech detenga almeno il 50%.

La modifica consente inoltre ad alcuni prestatori di convertire i prestiti in azioni LanzaJet al prezzo di mercato equo stabilito da consiglieri indipendenti. La modifica della licenza elimina alcune restrizioni di sublicenza, elimina il diritto di LanzaTech di terminare la licenza se i traguardi commerciali non sono raggiunti entro il 31 dicembre 2025 e impegna LanzaTech a utilizzare sforzi commercialmente ragionevoli per assegnare la Licenza Battelle a LanzaJet.

LanzaTech Global (LNZA) firmó acuerdos enmendados con LanzaJet y socios para actualizar la propiedad, la financiación y los términos de licencia vinculados a la plataforma de combustible de aviación sostenible de LanzaJet.

El nuevo Segundo Acuerdo de Inversión Enmendado y Reformulado elimina la condición previa de inversión específica del proyecto y establece que LanzaJet emitirá a LanzaTech una segunda ronda de 15,000,000 de acciones LanzaJet poco después de la firma y una tercera ronda de 15,000,000 de acciones a más tardar el 31 de diciembre de 2025, o poco después de un hito de desarrollo específico si no se alcanza para esas fechas. Si LanzaJet realiza una venta o una OPV antes de esas emisiones y LanzaTech tendría menos del 50% inmediatamente antes de la finalización, LanzaJet emitirá acciones adicionales para que LanzaTech tenga al menos el 50%.

La enmienda también permite que ciertos prestamistas conviertan préstamos en acciones de LanzaJet a un precio de valor de mercado fijado por directores sin interés. La enmienda de la licencia elimina ciertas restricciones de sublicencia, elimina el derecho de LanzaTech a terminar la licencia si no se alcanzan los hitos comerciales para el 31 de diciembre de 2025 y compromete a LanzaTech a usar esfuerzos razonables comercialmente para ceder la Licencia Battelle a LanzaJet.

LanzaTech Global (LNZA) 은 LanzaJet 및 파트너와 함께 소유권, 자금 조달 및 LanzaJet의 지속 가능한 항공 연료 플랫폼과 관련된 라이선스 조건을 업데이트하기 위해 수정된 계약을 체결했습니다.

새로운 제2차 수정 및 재작성된 투자 계약은 이전의 프로젝트 특정 투자 조건을 제거하고 LanzaJet이 실행 직후 LanzaTech에 15,000,000 주의 LanzaJet 주식을, 그리고 2025년 12월 31일까지 또는 해당 날짜에 달성되지 않은 경우 특정 개발 마일스톤 직후에 15,000,000 주의 세 번째 트랜치를 발행하도록 명시합니다. 만약 LanzaJet가 매각이나 IPO를 진행하고 실행 직전에 LanzaTech의 지분이 50% 미만인 경우, LanzaJet은 LanzaTech가 최소 50%를 보유하도록 추가 주식을 발행합니다.

개정은 또한 특정 대주단이 독립적인 이사들이 정한 공정 시장가로 대출을 LanzaJet 주식으로 전환할 수 있도록 허용합니다. 라이선스 개정은 일부 재라이선스 제한을 완화하고, 상업적 마일스톤이 2025년 12월 31일까지 달성되지 않더라도 LanzaTech의 라이선스 해지 권리를 제거하며, Battelle 라이선스를 LanzaJet에 양도하기 위해 상업적으로 합리적인 노력을 LanzaTech에 약속합니다.

LanzaTech Global (LNZA) est entré en accords modifiés avec LanzaJet et les partenaires pour mettre à jour la propriété, le financement et les termes de licence liés à la plateforme de carburant d’aviation durable de LanzaJet.

Le nouvel Accord d’Investissement Second Amendé et Restreint supprime l’ancienne condition d’investissement spécifique au projet et prévoit que LanzaJet émettra à LanzaTech une deuxième tranche de 15 000 000 d’actions LanzaJet peu après l’exécution et une troisième tranche de 15 000 000 d’actions au plus tard le 31 décembre 2025, ou peu après une étape de développement donnée si elle n’est pas atteinte d’ici là. Si LanzaJet réalise une vente ou une IPO avant ces émissions et que LanzaTech détient moins de 50% immédiatement avant l’achèvement, LanzaJet émettra des actions supplémentaires afin que LanzaTech détienne au moins le 50%.

L’amendement permet également à certains prêteurs de convertir des prêts en actions LanzaJet à un prix équitable fixé par des administrateurs non intéressés. L’amendement de la licence supprime certaines restrictions de sous-licence, supprime le droit de LanzaTech de résilier la licence si les jalons commerciaux ne sont pas atteints d’ici le 31 décembre 2025, et engage LanzaTech à déployer des efforts raisonnables sur le plan commercial pour céder la Licence Battelle à LanzaJet.

LanzaTech Global (LNZA) hat mit LanzaJet und Partnern geänderte Vereinbarungen getroffen, um Eigentum, Finanzierung und Lizenzbedingungen im Zusammenhang mit der Plattform für nachhaltigen Flugtreibstoff von LanzaJet zu aktualisieren.

Die neue Zweite Änderung und Umstellung des Investitionsvertrags hebt die vorherige projekt-spezifische Investitionsbedingung auf und sieht vor, dass LanzaJet an LanzaTech eine zweite Tranche von 15.000.000 LanzaJet-Aktien unmittelbar nach der Ausführung und eine dritte Tranche von 15.000.000 Aktien spätestens bis zum 31. Dezember 2025 ausgibt, bzw. unmittelbar nach einem bestimmten Entwicklungsmeilenstein, falls dieser Termin nicht erreicht wird. Falls LanzaJet vor diesen Emissionen verkauft oder einen Börsengang durchführt und LanzaTech unmittelbar vor Abschluss weniger als 50% hält, wird LanzaJet zusätzliche Aktien ausgeben, damit LanzaTech mindestens 50% hält.

Die Änderung ermöglicht es außerdem bestimmten Gläubigern, Darlehen zu LanzaJet zu einem vom unparteiischen Vorstand festgelegten Marktwert umzuwandeln. Die Lizenzänderung hebt bestimmte Unterlizenzbeschränkungen auf, entfernt das Recht von LanzaTech, die Lizenz zu kündigen, wenn kommerzielle Meilensteine bis zum 31. Dezember 2025 nicht erreicht werden, und verpflichtet LanzaTech, angemessene gewerbliche Anstrengungen zu unternehmen, um die Battelle-Lizenz an LanzaJet abzutreten.

دخلت LanzaTech Global (LNZA) في اتفاقيات معدلة مع LanzaJet وشركاء لتحديث الملكية والتمويل وشروط الترخيص المرتبطة بمنصة وقود الطيران المستدام التابعة لـ LanzaJet.

يزيل اتفاق الاستثمار المعدّل الجديد المعنى السابق المتعلق بالاستثمار المرتبط بالمشروع ويشير إلى أن LanzaJet ستصدر لـ LanzaTech دفعة ثانية من 15,000,000 سهماً من LanzaJet فوراً بعد التنفيذ، ودفعة ثالثة من 15,000,000 سهماً في موعد أقصاه 31 ديسمبر 2025، أو فوراً بعد مرحلة تطوير محددة إذا لم يتحقق في ذلك التاريخان. إذا قامت LanzaJet ببيع أو طرح أولي قبل تلك الإصدار وامتلكت LanzaTech أقل من 50% مباشرة قبل الإتمام، ستصدر LanzaJet أسهماً إضافية ليصل حصة LanzaTech إلى ما لا يقل عن 50%.

تسمح التعديل أيضاً لمجموعة من الدائنين بتحويل القروض إلى أسهم LanzaJet بسعر سوق عادل تحدده إدارات غير مهتمة. يرفع تعديل الترخيص بعض قيود الإذن الفرعي، ويزيل حق LanzaTech في إنهاء الترخيص إذا لم تتحقق المعالم التجارية بحلول 31 ديسمبر 2025، ويُلزم LanzaTech ببذل جهود تجارية معقولة لنقل ترخيص Battelle إلى LanzaJet.

LanzaTech Global (LNZA) 已与 LanzaJet 及其合作伙伴签署修改后的协议,以更新与 LanzaJet 的可持续航空燃料平台相关的所有权、融资和许可条款。

新的第二次经过修订并重新表述的投资协议取消了之前的按项目的投资条件,并规定 LanzaJet 将在执行后立即向 LanzaTech 发行第二批 15,000,000 股 LanzaJet,并在不晚于 2025 年 12 月 31 日 前发行第三批 15,000,000 股,若未在该日期前达到特定开发里程碑,则在达到里程碑后立即发行。如果 LanzaJet 在这些发行前进行出售或上市,且在完成前 LanzaTech 的持股低于 50%,则 LanzaJet 将发行额外股票,使 LanzaTech 的持股至少达到 50%

本次修订还允许某些贷方按独立董事设定的公允市场价将贷款转为 LanzaJet 股票。许可条款的修订取消了若干再许可限制,取消了若商业里程碑在 2025 年 12 月 31 日 前未达到时 LanzaTech 终止许可的权利,并承诺 LanzaTech 将以商业上合理的努力将 Battelle 许可转让给 LanzaJet。

Insights

LNZA secures clearer LanzaJet equity path and control safeguards.

The revised agreements replace a project-financing trigger with time/milestone-based share issuances: two tranches of 15,000,000 LanzaJet shares, one promptly and one by December 31, 2025 (or upon milestone). This clarifies how LNZA’s stake grows independent of third-party project closings.

A protective clause requires LanzaJet to issue additional shares if a sale or IPO occurs before the tranches and LNZA would otherwise fall below 50%, maintaining at least majority ownership immediately prior to completion. A new conversion right lets certain lenders swap loan principal (and optional accrued interest) into equity at a fair market value price set by disinterested directors.

The license amendment removes prior sublicensing limits, eliminates LNZA’s termination right tied to 2025 milestones, and commits LNZA to use commercially reasonable efforts to assign the Battelle License. Actual impact depends on milestone achievement, any sale/IPO timing, and use of the loan-to-equity conversion option.

Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


As previously disclosed, on April 1, 2021, LanzaTech Global, Inc. (the “Company”), LanzaJet, Inc. (“LanzaJet”), British Airways PLC (“British Airways”), Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”), Shell Ventures LLC (“Shell”) and Suncor Energy Inc. (“Suncor”) (collectively, the “LanzaJet Investment Parties”) entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (the “LanzaJet Investment Agreement”), and an Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement (the “LanzaJet Stockholders’ Agreement”). The Company and LanzaJet also entered into an Intellectual Property and Technology License Agreement on May 28, 2020 (the “LanzaJet License Agreement”), which was executed in connection with the original, pre-restatement versions of the LanzaJet Investment Agreement and the LanzaJet Stockholders’ Agreement. Collectively, the LanzaJet Investment Agreement, the LanzaJet Stockholders’ Agreement, and the LanzaJet License Agreement are referred to herein as the LanzaJet Agreements. The LanzaJet Agreements were entered into in order to facilitate the production of sustainable aviation fuel by designing, constructing and operating a demonstration facility located at the LanzaTech Freedom Pines Biorefinery in Soperton, Georgia (the “demonstration facility”) and to determine the feasibility of developing additional potential facilities for commercial scale production of fuel.

Under the LanzaJet Investment Agreement, the Company received shares of common stock of LanzaJet (“LanzaJet shares”) in exchange for a technology license (the “Battelle License”) granted pursuant to the LanzaJet License Agreement. Additionally, LanzaJet agreed to issue to the Company three tranches of 15,000,000 additional LanzaJet shares following the closing of the first three investments to special purpose project development entities for funding the development and operation of commercial facilities by Mitsui, Shell, British Airways and/or Suncor (the “SPE Investment Condition”). On June 18, 2024, LanzaJet issued to LanzaTech the first additional tranche of 15,000,000 LanzaJet shares.

On October 16, 2025 (the “A&R Date”), the LanzaJet Investment Parties entered into a Second Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (the “Second A&R LanzaJet Investment Agreement”), which amends and restates the provisions of the LanzaJet Investment Agreement, a Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement (the “Second A&R LanzaJet Stockholders’ Agreement”), which amends and restates the provisions of the LanzaJet Stockholders’ Agreement, and an amendment to the LanzaJet License Agreement (the “LanzaJet License Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Second A&R LanzaJet Investment Agreement and Second A&R LanzaJet Stockholders’ Agreement, the “LanzaJet Amendments”) to update the structure of the LanzaJet Agreements and to reflect other changes agreed to by the LanzaJet Investment Parties.

Among other changes, the Second A&R LanzaJet Investment Agreement eliminates the SPE Investment Condition and provides that LanzaJet will issue to the Company (1) a second tranche of 15,000,000 LanzaJet shares on a date promptly following the execution of the Second A&R LanzaJet Investment Agreement and (2) a third tranche of 15,000,000 LanzaJet shares no later than December 31, 2025, provided that, if the demonstration facility has not achieved a certain development milestone by each such date, LanzaJet will instead issue the applicable additional tranche of LanzaJet shares promptly following the achievement of such development milestone. Additionally, if LanzaJet undertakes a sale or initial public offering prior to the issuance of the second and third tranches of LanzaJet shares to the Company, and the Company does not hold at least fifty percent (50%) of LanzaJet’s outstanding common stock immediately prior to the completion of such sale or initial public offering, LanzaJet will issue LanzaJet shares to the Company for no additional payment such that the Company will hold at least fifty percent (50%) of LanzaJet’s outstanding common stock immediately prior to the completion of such sale or initial public offering.

The Second A&R LanzaJet Investment Agreement also provides any LanzaJet Investment Party that has made a loan or other extension of credit to LanzaJet’s subsidiary, Freedom Pines Fuels LLC, the right, exercisable at any time and from time to time, to elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of such loan into a number of LanzaJet shares equal to the amount of the loan (principal and, at the lender’s option, accrued interest) being converted, divided by a conversion price equal to the fair market value of a share of LanzaJet common stock as determined in good faith by a majority of disinterested directors of the board of directors of LanzaJet.

The LanzaJet License Agreement Amendment removes restrictions on the licensing of LanzaJet technology to third party sublicensees prior to satisfaction of the SPE Investment Condition, makes conforming changes reflecting the Second A&R LanzaJet Investment Agreement and effects other agreed modifications. The LanzaJet License Agreement Amendment also eliminates the Company’s right to terminate the LanzaJet License Agreement if certain commercial facility development milestones have not been met by December 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company committed to using commercially reasonable efforts to promptly assign the Battelle License to LanzaJet.

The Second A&R LanzaJet Stockholders’ Agreement makes conforming changes to reflect the Second A&R LanzaJet Investment Agreement and effects other changes agreed to by the LanzaJet Investment Parties.

The foregoing summaries of the LanzaJet Amendments do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text thereof, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
