MNTS Proxy: Warrants, Convertible Notes, Lender Warrants and Debt Settlement Require Votes
Momentus Inc. is furnishing a supplement to its September 2025 proxy to add four Nasdaq stockholder-approval proposals related to issuances of Class A common stock tied to warrants, convertible notes, lender warrants, and a debt settlement, in addition to previously disclosed proposals including a reverse stock split. The company seeks approval to issue up to 4,862,058 shares for Inducement Warrants, convertible-note- and warrant-related shares (potentially millions depending on conversion pricing and adjustments), up to 952,940 Lender Warrant shares, and ~1,072,171 shares to settle ~$1.1 million of legal fees. Board recommends voting FOR all proposals; approvals are sought to comply with Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) and to enable capital raising and debt resolution.
Positive
- Provides near-term liquidity through exercised warrants and potential cash proceeds (e.g., up to approximately $5.4M from Inducement Warrants and up to approximately $2.2M from additional SIV warrants if exercised).
- Reduces cash obligations by permitting a debt-for-equity settlement of approximately $1.1M owed to Baker & McKenzie via issuance of ~1,072,171 shares.
- Compliance with Nasdaq rules via shareholder approvals avoids listing non-compliance risk related to >20% issuances under Rule 5635(d).
Negative
- Significant potential dilution: authorizations could issue millions of shares (Inducement Warrants, Convertible Notes/Warrants, Incentive Warrants) reducing existing holders' voting and economic ownership.
- Share overhang and price pressure: increased shares eligible for resale and exercise-reset mechanics may create market overhang and depress the stock price.
- Conversion price resets and amendments have materially reduced conversion/exercise prices (examples: conversion prices reduced toward $1.11 or tied to discounts), transferring value to note/warrant holders.
- Company already contractually bound to the underlying transactions; failure to obtain approval forces repeated meetings and additional costs but does not negate obligations.
Insights
TL;DR: Multiple equity issuances and warrant adjustments are material and likely dilutive but provide near-term liquidity.
The package requests stockholder approval to enable potential issuance of millions of Class A shares across inducement warrants, amended convertible notes (with conversion-price resets), lender warrants, and a debt-for-equity settlement. If exercised, these instruments could meaningfully increase share count and create market overhang, lowering per-share metrics and increasing volatility. However, approvals would allow the company to receive cash proceeds (estimated up to ~$5.4M from Inducement Warrants and ~$2.2M from additional SIV warrants plus up to ~$1.1M from lender warrant exercise) and to extinguish liabilities without immediate cash outlays, supporting near-term liquidity.
TL;DR: The board seeks broad shareholder consents to comply with Nasdaq rules, but repeated reliance on equity-based settlements raises governance and shareholder dilution concerns.
Proposals are structured to satisfy Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) after transactions were executed. Recurrent amendments that lower conversion/exercise prices and authorize large share issuances can transfer economic value to counterparties and create potential conflicts if not fully justified. The proxy discloses beneficial-ownership caps and registration obligations, but shareholders should note the company is already contractually bound to many of these transactions and approvals primarily permit share issuance rather than new strategic actions.
