MNTS proxy supplement seeks approvals for warrants, convertible note issuances and debt-for-stock deal
Momentus Inc. has filed a preliminary proxy supplement adding four new proposals to its September 17, 2025 virtual special meeting agenda in addition to previously disclosed proposals. The board seeks authority to implement a reverse stock split between 1-for-5 and 1-for-17.85 and requests Nasdaq-required shareholder approvals for potentially issuing Class A shares in four situations: exercise of Inducement Warrants (up to 4,862,058 shares), conversion/exercise related to Convertible Notes and associated warrants, exercise of Lender Warrants (up to 952,940 shares), and issuance of shares to settle approximately $1.1 million of vendor debt under a Debt Settlement Agreement. The supplement explains voting mechanics, quorum and broker-vote treatment, dilution risks, potential proceeds if warrants are exercised, and that some transactions are already binding regardless of shareholder approval.
Positive
- Capital raised via exercise of existing warrants under the Inducement Agreement provided immediate financing to the Company
- Potential proceeds from warrant exercises (Inducement and Lender Warrants) could provide additional cash (e.g., up to approximately $5.4 million and $1.1 million respectively)
- Registration efforts (Form S-1 and resale shelf commitments) aim to facilitate liquidity for issued shares
Negative
- Potential dilution from issuance of up to millions of Class A shares across Inducement, Convertible Notes, Lender Warrants and Debt Settlement proposals
- Dependency on equity issuance for liquidity and going concern implications emphasized in the supplement
- Broad reverse split range (1-for-5 to 1-for-17.85) could materially change share capitalization and signals listing/market pressure
Insights
TL;DR: Multiple potential equity issuances and a reverse split are material capital structure events that could dilute existing holders but raise needed cash.
The filings show Momentus is pursuing several transactions that, if approved and exercised, would materially increase outstanding Class A shares and provide cash proceeds (e.g., up to ~$5.4 million from Inducement Warrants and up to ~$1.1 million from Lender Warrants). The company repeatedly links these actions to liquidity needs and going concern implications, indicating capital-raising urgency. The reverse split range is broad (1-for-5 to 1-for-17.85), signaling flexibility to meet listing/market requirements but also risk of shareholder value concentration. Disclosures of registration efforts and beneficial ownership caps are standard but the frequency of amendments and contingent approvals heighten execution risk.
TL;DR: Board seeks broad shareholder authorization to comply with Nasdaq rules for prior private transactions; procedural but materially impactful.
The supplement is primarily procedural to satisfy Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) after the company entered binding financing and settlement agreements. Repeated shareholder votes and rolling solicitation obligations (if not approved) increase transaction costs and regulatory burden. The board’s unanimous recommendations and required shareholder approvals reflect governance alignment, but the fact that transactions remain binding absent approval raises questions about prior negotiation timing and shareholder rights. The reverse split authority and variable adjustment mechanics warrant close shareholder attention to post-approval implementation.
