PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable
detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Montauk Renewables, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2026 (“Q3 Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed timeframe as a result of ongoing negotiations with the lender under the
Company’s New Senior Credit Facility Agreement (“New Senior Credit Facility”). In October 2026, the Company experienced difficulty in meeting certain engineering review and operational requirements in placing its Turkey, North
Carolina facility in service, which has impacted its ability to draw down additional debt under its New Senior Credit Facility. As a result, the Company is engaged in discussions with the lender of the New Senior Credit Facility to renegotiate the
terms of the New Senior Credit Facility, including obtaining an amendment to borrow additional debt and temporarily forbear and standstill certain debt covenant requirements, and are in discussions with its Board of Directors on potential additional
shareholder financing dedicated to the development of the Turkey, North Carolina facility. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining relief under its New Senior Credit Facility or in raising any additional financing.
The Company expects to file the Q3 Form 10-Q within the time period prescribed in Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company expects that the financial statements included in the Q3 Form 10-Q will include a going concern
qualification.

|
Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such
shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s). ☒ Yes ☐ No |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| (3) |
|
|
|
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof? ☒ Yes ☐ No |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. |
The Company’s total operating revenues are estimated to have increased approximately $4.9 million compared to the
third quarter of 2025 primarily related to environmental attribute revenues from RINs distributed and sold from the GreenWave joint venture. Total operating expenses are estimated to have increased approximately $10.3 million compared to the
third quarter of 2025 primarily related to an increase in operating and maintenance costs due to increased preventative maintenance expenses and non-capitalizable operating costs and an increase in costs of
RINs distributed from GreenWave and the costs related to pathway dispensing. The Company is still determining operating income and net income for the third quarter of 2026 and therefore is unable to provide estimates. However, the Company expects
operating income and net income to be significantly lower than the third quarter of 2025.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws that involve substantial
risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this document are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements refer to our current expectations and projections relating to our
financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, strategies, future performance, and business. Forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “can
have,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “strive,” “aim,” “could,” “design,” “due,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,”
“goal,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “seek,”
“should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operational performance or other events. For
example, forward looking statements include financial results for the third quarter of 2026 and information regarding the renegotiation of the terms of the New Senior Credit Facility and potential additional shareholder financing dedicated to the
development of the Turkey, North Carolina facility. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expect and, therefore, you should not unduly rely on such
statements. The risks and uncertainties that could cause those actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include but are not limited to our outstanding indebtedness, our ability to borrow
additional indebtedness or refinance indebtedness at acceptable rates or at all, and restrictions under existing and future indebtedness; our ability to raise capital on favorable terms, or at all, to fund operations and meet our existing debt
covenant requirements; our ability to meet certain engineering review and operational requirements at our Turkey, North Carolina facility and other risks and uncertainties detailed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K and as otherwise disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
We make many of our forward-looking statements based on our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon detailed assumptions. While we believe that
our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as others made in our other
SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made by us in the context of these risks and uncertainties. See the “Risk Factors” section in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC.
We caution you that the risks and uncertainties identified by us may not be
all of the factors that are important to you. Furthermore, the forward-looking statements included in this document are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a
result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
