Reverse Recapitalization

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2024

On February 8, 2023, Legacy LanzaTech and AMCI consummated the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (see Note 1 - Description of the Business).

Immediately following the Business Combination, there were 196,222,737 shares of common stock outstanding with a par value of $0.0001. Additionally, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 12,574,200 shares of common stock.

As discussed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP. Under this method, while AMCI was the legal acquirer, it has been treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of pre-combination Legacy LanzaTech issuing stock for the net assets of AMCI, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of AMCI were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of pre-combination Legacy LanzaTech. Reported shares and earnings per share available to holders of the Company’s common stock and preferred shares, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination (approximately one pre-combination Legacy LanzaTech share to 4.3747 of the Company’s shares).

Upon closing of the Business Combination, the shareholders of AMCI, including AMCI founders, were issued 10,398,374 shares of common stock of the Company. In connection with the closing, holders of 8,351,626 shares of common stock of AMCI were redeemed at a price per share of approximately $10.16. In connection with the Closing, 18,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to PIPE investors. 15,500,000 of those shares were issued at a price per share of $10.00. The remaining 3,000,000 shares were issued upon conversion of the AM SAFE liability. The Company incurred $7,223 in transaction costs relating to the Business Combination and recorded those costs against Additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The number of shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination and PIPE financing were:
