Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 9, 2023, LanzaTech Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: LNZA), issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023.
In connection with issuing the press release, LanzaTech Global, Inc. will host a conference call on November 9, 2023 to discuss its financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023. In connection therewith, LanzaTech Global, Inc. is providing an earnings presentation to stockholders, analysts, and any other parties participating on the call. Copies of the Company’s press release and earnings presentation are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 furnished herewith, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such Section. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 4.02: Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
On November 8, 2023, the Audit Committee of LanzaTech Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “LanzaTech”), after considering the recommendations of management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 (collectively, the “Previous Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon. Similarly, any previously filed or furnished reports, related earnings releases, investor presentations or similar communications of the Company describing the Previous Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon.
The determination relates to Company’s interpretation of the accounting guidance applicable to the Company’s forward purchase agreement, dated February 3, 2023, with ACM ARRT H LLC (as assigned in part to Vellar Opportunity Fund SPV LLC, the “FPA”). The Company expects to restate the accounting treatment of the FPA in the relevant periods to reclassify the prepayment amount, currently recorded as part of the non-current net derivative asset in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Previous Financial Statements, to the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets with any remaining balance of the prepaid forward contract, including the minimum maturity consideration and the share consideration, as non-current liabilities in its condensed consolidated balance sheet for the relevant periods.
The Company’s management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters described herein with Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Forward-looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, the plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial, of LanzaTech. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of LanzaTech’s management. Although LanzaTech believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, LanzaTech cannot assure you that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates,” “intends” or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements are based on projections prepared by, and are the responsibility of, LanzaTech’s management. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside LanzaTech’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. LanzaTech may be adversely
2
affected by other economic, business, or competitive factors, and other risks and uncertainties, including those described under the header “Risk Factors” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed by LanzaTech with the SEC, and in future SEC filings. New risk factors that may affect actual results or outcomes emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can LanzaTech assess the impact of all such risk factors on its business, or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. All forward-looking statements attributable to LanzaTech or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. LanzaTech undertakes no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
