Equity [Abstract]  
Equity Equity
Common stock
The Company is authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”). The Company is generally not permitted to pay cash dividends to common stockholders due to restrictions arising from the Term Loan Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit Facility and the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, as defined below.
On October 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain entities. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 5,928,775 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $24,300 (the “Offering”). The purchase price for each Share was $4.10. The Offering closed on October 3, 2024. The issuance costs of $467 were recorded as an offset to the Offering proceeds within additional paid-in capital. The issuance of these common shares triggered an anti-dilution provision of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, resulting in a $2,132 adjustment to loss attributable to common stockholders. This was determined by the additional 453,117 common shares the Preferred Stockholders could obtain upon conversion as of November 24, 2024, multiplied by the October 3, 2024 Lifecore closing stock price of $4.705 per share.
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On January 9, 2023, the Company issued 38,750 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, that is in certain cases redeemable at the option of the holder as discussed further below (the “Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock”). The Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holders of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. The Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to dividends, distributions and payments on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. The Company received proceeds of $38,750 at issuance, net of issuance costs of $668. The deduction for issuance costs is being amortized through June 29, 2026 as a charge to additional paid-in capital.
Dividends
The holders of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends at a rate of 7.5% per annum, or $75 per share, payable in-kind and compounding quarterly. The holders are also entitled to participate in dividends declared or paid on the Common Stock on an as-converted basis. At September 30, 2025, there were $874 of dividends in arrears that had not yet been paid-in-kind in the form of additional shares of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, representing $12.50 per preferred share. As of September 30, 2025 and May 25, 2025, the aggregate liquidation preference of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock was $47,466 and $46,308, respectively.
Conversion
Each holder has the right, any time at its option, to convert its Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price equal to $7.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar events, and is also subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent offerings of Common Stock or convertible securities by the Company for less than the conversion price. The issuance of 5,928,775 shares of Common Stock on October 3, 2024 triggered an adjustment to the conversion price to approximately $6.53 per share. In addition, in April 2025, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders at which stockholders approved the removal of the 19.99% “exchange cap” on the issuance of Common Stock underlying the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2025, the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 7,131,888 shares of Common Stock.
The Company may also elect to convert the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain conditions, if, for at least 20 consecutive trading days during the respective measuring period, the Company's closing stock price equals or exceeds $10.50 per share.
Redemption
Holders have the right to redeem the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock after the earlier of June 29, 2026 or the termination or waiver of the restriction on cash dividends and/or redemptions that is set forth in the Company’s credit agreements. In the event that any holders exercise this right to redeem a portion or all of their holdings, the redemption date would be 180 days after providing such notice to the Company. On such date the Company would be required to pay in cash an amount equal to the liquidation preference. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares submitted for redemption, the Company would also be subject to interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of 1% percent per month.
In addition, the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is also redeemable contingent upon the occurrence of certain events that may be outside of the control of the Company. As a result, the Company has presented the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets.
Voting
Each holder is entitled to vote with the holders of the shares of Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of shares of Common Stock, with certain limited exceptions. Each holder is entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock would be convertible on the record date for the vote. The holders of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock are also entitled to elect two directors to serve on the Company's board of directors so long as at least 30% of the initial shares of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding.
Registration rights
The holders of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Company. This agreement required the Company to file an initial registration statement covering sufficient shares of Common Stock into which the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted, which the Company filed in 2023. The agreement contains monetary penalties if the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of that registration statement. The agreement has no specified termination date and no specified maximum amount of penalties.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had accumulated $5,199 of monetary penalties and interest under the registration rights agreement. The penalties accumulated because of delinquent filings of the Company’s annual and quarterly reports with the SEC, which caused the initial registration statement to cease to be effective. In October 2024, the Company completed the necessary SEC filings to regain the effectiveness of the registration statement. This caused monetary penalties to stop accruing. Meanwhile, interest continues to accrue on the penalty amount at a rate of 12% per annum until paid. Penalties are recorded in other income or expense, net, and interest is recorded in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company initially paid $535 of these monetary penalties leaving a remaining obligation for penalties and interest of $4,664 as of September 30, 2025, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities (see note 7). In November 2025, the Company paid the remaining obligation in full.
