Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)
Note 9. Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)
Common Stock and Preferred Stock
Effective December 12, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved a 1-for-14 reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 14 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding on December 12, 2024, were automatically combined into one share of Class A common stock. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the next nearest whole share of Class A common stock.
In addition to the reverse stock split implemented in December 2024, the Company previously effected a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A common stock on August 22, 2023, whereby every 50 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding on August 22, 2023, were automatically combined into one share of Class A common stock. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the next nearest whole share of Class A common stock.
To effectuate the December 2024 1-for-14 reverse stock split, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. As a result of the reverse stock split, there was no change to par value and the total number of authorized shares of Class A common stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Company is authorized and has available a total of 270,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of (i) 250,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, (ii) — shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and (iii) 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share.
Also on the effective date of the reverse stock split, all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split were adjusted by dividing the number of shares of Class A common stock into which the options, warrants and other convertible securities are exercisable or convertible by 14 and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by 14, all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share. Such proportional adjustments were also made to the number of shares and restricted stock units issued and issuable under the Company’s equity compensation plan.
The Company has retroactively adjusted all periods presented for the effects of the December 2024 1-for-14 reverse stock split.
December 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement
On December 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the investor in a registered direct offering (the “December Offering”) (i) 230,000 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $6.20 per share, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “December Pre-Funded Warrants) to purchase 570,000 shares of Class A common stock, and (iii) warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of Class A common stock (the “December Warrants”).
The purchase price of each December Pre-Funded Warrant was equal to the price per share of Class A common stock being sold in the December Offering minus $0.00001. The December Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.00001 per share and are exercisable any time after the issuance, and will not expire until exercised. The December Warrants have an exercise price per share of Class A common stock equal to $6.08 per share and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

In connection with the December Offering, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement on December 17, 2024, with the agency which assisted with the transaction. The Company paid a cash placement agent commission equal to 7.0% of gross proceeds from the December Offering and issued warrants (the “December Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase 40,000 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $6.82, exercisable immediately upon issuance. The December Placement Agent Warrants will expire 5 years from the date of issuance. The $0.3 million fair value of the December Placement Agent Warrants was accounted for as an additional equity issuance cost for the December Offering, which was recorded to additional paid-in-capital.
The Company estimated the fair value of the December Pre-Funded Warrants based on the fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock from the issuance date, less the $0.00001 exercise price. The Company estimated the fair value of the December Warrants and the December Placement Agent using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

The Company paid an aggregate of $40.0 million to the Co-Founders following the Business Combination, and an additional payment of an aggregate of $10.0 million was payable after cumulative business combination or capital raising transactions resulted in cash proceeds to the Company of no less than $250.0 million.
As a result of the February Offering on February 27, 2023, the Company raised $10.0 million of gross cash proceeds through the sale of securities which, together with the $247.3 million raised in the Business Combination and other capital raising activities, triggered the $10.0 million obligation under the stock repurchase agreements. In March 2023, the Company paid the Co-Founders $10.0 million to pay off the liability.
Public and Private Warrants
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had Public and Private Warrants outstanding to purchase 12,322 shares and 16,104 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, related to the Business Combination. The warrants entitle the registered holder to purchase stock at a price of $8,050 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing on August 12, 2021. The Public and Private Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Private Warrants assumed in connection with the Business Combination are accounted for as a derivative liability and a decrease of the estimated fair value of the warrants of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, was recorded in other income (expense) within the consolidated statements of operations. The Public Warrants and the legacy outstanding Private Warrants were recorded as equity within the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.
Contingent Sponsor Earnout Shares
As a result of the Business Combination, the Company modified the terms of 2,054 shares of Class A common stock held by SRAC’s sponsor (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”), such that all such shares will be forfeited if the share price of Class A common stock does not reach a volume-weighted average closing sale price of $8,750, two thirds of such shares will be forfeited if the share price of Class A common stock does not reach a volume-weighted average closing sale price of $10,500, and one third of such shares will be forfeited if the share price of Class A common stock does not reach a volume-weighted average closing sale price of $12,250, in each case, prior to the fifth anniversary of the Business Combination. Certain events which change the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock, such as a split, combination, or recapitalization, among other potential events, will equitably adjust the target vesting prices above. The Sponsor Earnout Shares may not be transferred without the Company’s consent until the shares vest.
The Sponsor Earnout Shares are recorded within equity. Due to the contingently forfeitable nature of the shares, the Sponsor Earnout Shares are excluded from basic EPS calculations but are considered potentially dilutive shares for the purposes of diluted EPS (refer to Note 11).
At-The-Market Offering
On September 28, 2022, Momentus entered into an At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement with a sales agent (the “ATM Sales Agreement”). Pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company may from time to time sell, through the sales agent using at-the-market (“ATM”) offerings, shares of Class A common stock up to an aggregate offer price of $50.0 million. Under the ATM Sales Agreement, the sales agent will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold.
During the year ended December 31, 2023 there were no sales under the ATM Sales Agreement. Due to the delay in any sales under the at-the-market offering program, during the year ended December 31, 2023, $0.3 million of previously deferred offering costs were written off to other expenses.
