Momentus (MNTS) seeks approval for major warrant-driven share issuances
Momentus Inc. is updating its special stockholder meeting to add a new financing-related proposal and revise several others. The virtual meeting will now be held on February 6, 2026. Stockholders are being asked to approve multiple issuances of Class A common stock tied to convertible notes, an equity line of credit, pre-funded and inducement warrants, and a 10 million share increase in authorized Class A common stock from 250,000,000 to 260,000,000 shares.
The company recently completed a 1-for-17.85 reverse stock split and entered into several warrant inducement and private placement deals that brought in cash but require Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) stockholder approval before related warrants can be exercised. These include up to 418,466 shares under October 2025 inducement warrants, 408,577 shares under December 2025 inducement warrants, and 925,926 shares under January 2026 warrants, each at an amended or stated exercise price of $5.40 per share where applicable.
The company notes that exercising these warrants for cash could provide approximately $16.4 million in additional gross proceeds across the inducement and January 2026 warrants, supporting its business plan, but would dilute existing holders and could pressure the stock price as more shares become eligible for resale. If stockholders do not approve key proposals, Momentus may need to call repeated meetings and seek alternative financing, which it states could affect its ability to continue as a going concern and increase transaction costs.

Insights
Momentus is seeking stockholder approval for several warrant-driven financings that trade dilution for needed capital.
Momentus Inc. asks stockholders to approve multiple share issuances tied to prior financings, including up to $5.8M from October 2025 inducement warrants, $5.6M from December 2025 inducement warrants, and $5.0M from January 2026 warrants, all based on a $5.40 exercise price per share where applicable. These issuances, alongside the recent 1-for-17.85 reverse stock split, highlight an aggressive use of equity-linked capital to fund operations.
The proposals are structured to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), which triggers stockholder approval when private issuances reach or exceed 20% thresholds at discounted pricing. Each warrant set includes beneficial ownership caps, generally at 4.99% with an option to increase to 9.99% after notice, which limits any single investor’s voting power at a given time but does not reduce overall dilution.
The company explicitly links approval to its ability to raise capital and continue as a going concern, stating that failure to approve could force repeated meetings every 30 days or six months for certain warrants and push it toward alternative financing that may be less favorable and more expensive. Actual impact on stockholders will depend on how many warrants are ultimately exercised for cash and how the market absorbs additional freely tradable shares over time.

FAQ
What is Momentus Inc. (MNTS) asking stockholders to approve at the February 6, 2026 special meeting?
Stockholders are being asked to approve seven items, including issuances of Class A common stock related to: convertible notes and warrants, an equity line of credit and pre-funded warrants, October 2025 and December 2025 inducement warrants, a 10 million share increase in authorized Class A common stock (from 250,000,000 to 260,000,000), an adjournment authority, and new January 2026 warrants for up to 925,926 shares.
Why did Momentus (MNTS) issue October and December 2025 inducement warrants?
In October 2025 and December 2025, Momentus entered into warrant inducement agreements where existing warrant holders agreed to exercise earlier warrants for cash. In return, the company issued new inducement warrants for up to 418,466 October 2025 shares and 408,577 December 2025 shares, with exercise prices amended on January 5, 2026 to $5.40 per share, subject to stockholder approval under Nasdaq rules.
What is the January 2026 private placement and warrant proposal for MNTS?
On January 5, 2026, Momentus agreed to a private placement issuing pre-funded warrants and Class A warrants (the January 2026 Warrants) covering 925,926 shares of Class A common stock. The company received approximately $5.0 million in gross proceeds and now seeks stockholder approval to permit exercise of the January 2026 Warrants at an exercise price of $5.40 per share, consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).
How could these warrant-related proposals affect existing Momentus stockholders?
If the inducement and January 2026 warrants are exercised, up to 1,753,0 (418,466 + 408,577 + 925,926) new shares could be issued, subject to adjustments and ownership caps. The company notes that additional shares may dilute existing holders’ voting power, book value, and economic interests and could increase the supply of stock available for resale, which may contribute to stock price volatility or pressure.
What is the purpose of the reverse stock split mentioned in the MNTS proxy materials?
Effective December 17, 2025, Momentus implemented a 1-for-17.85 reverse stock split of all outstanding Class A common shares. The proxy supplement clarifies that all share counts and dollar figures in the document are presented on a post-split basis, so investors can evaluate the proposals using the adjusted, lower share count per holder.
What happens if MNTS stockholders do not approve the inducement and January 2026 warrant proposals?
If stockholders do not approve the October 2025, December 2025, or January 2026 warrant proposals, the company will remain bound by the existing agreements but will not be able to issue the related shares upon exercise. It would then be required to call additional meetings—every 30 days for the October and December 2025 inducement warrants and every six months for the January 2026 warrants—until approval is obtained, and may have to seek alternative financing, which it states could be less favorable and increase transaction expenses.
How can MNTS stockholders vote and attend the February 6, 2026 special meeting?
Stockholders of record as of December 10, 2025 can vote by internet, phone, mail, or during the meeting. The meeting will be held virtually via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MNTS2026 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time on February 6, 2026. A new proxy card is being provided to cover all seven proposals and will replace any earlier proxy if submitted.
