EXPLANATORY NOTE
On January 13, 2026, Intuitive Machines, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Lanteris Space Holdings LLC (“Lanteris”) through its subsidiary, Intuitive Machines, LLC (“Purchaser”), pursuant to the previously announced Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Purchaser, Lanteris, Vantor Holdings Inc. (“Seller”) and Galileo TopCo, Inc. The Acquisition, first announced on November 4, 2025, was completed for $800 million before closing adjustments, consisting of $450 million in cash and $350 million of Intuitive Machines, Inc. Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Acquisition, on January 13, 2026, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Seller, pursuant to which Seller received certain registration rights, including the right to initiate up to three underwritten public offerings, and piggyback registration rights relating to the Stock Consideration.
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified by the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Waiver, Consent, Amendment and Assignment Agreement of Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility
On January 13, 2026, in connection with closing of the Acquisition, Purchaser entered into a Waiver, Consent, Amendment and Assignment Agreement (the “Waiver, Consent, Amendment and Assignment Agreement”), with Lanteris Space LLC (a subsidiary of Lanteris), as seller and servicer, Vantor Parent Inc. (an affiliate of Seller), as assignor and existing guarantor and ING Belgium NV/SA (“ING”), pursuant to which Purchaser became a guarantor under the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of December 1, 2023 (as amended by that certain Omnibus Amendment dated as of May 21, 2024 among Lanteris, Seller and ING, and as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility”).
Pursuant to the Waiver, Consent, Amendment and Assignment Agreement, ING consented to the “Change of Control” of Lanteris Space LLC resulting from the Acquisition, consented to the assignment of the guarantee under the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility to Purchaser, waived any and all Defaults or Events of Default resulting from such Change of Control and agreed that the Acquisition and resulting Change of Control will not constitute a Repurchase Event, and Vantor Parent Inc. assigned to Purchaser all of its rights, title and interest in and to, and obligations under the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility (with all capitalized terms used in this paragraph having the meanings contained in the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility).
Under the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility, Lanteris may at any time during the term (through December 1, 2026), propose terms by which ING may purchase certain orbital payment receivables of Lanteris, which ING may decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether to accept. The maximum aggregate amount of receivables purchased or agreed to be purchased at any time under the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility during its term is $250,000,000. If a customer prepays an orbital payment that has been purchased by ING, Lanteris Space LLC must provide ING with a “make-whole” payment pursuant to a net present value formula contained in the Orbital Receivables Purchase Facility.
The foregoing description of the Waiver, Consent, Amendment and Assignment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified by the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Waiver of Loan Security Agreement
On January 12, 2026, the Company, Purchaser and Stifel Bank entered into a waiver (the “Stifel Waiver”), in respect of that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2025, among such parties, pursuant to which Stifel Bank consented to the Acquisition while halting any borrowing and covenant obligations by the Company or Purchaser under such facility.
The foregoing description of the Stifel Waiver does not purport to be complete and is qualified by the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information under “Explanatory Note” is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, in connection with closing, Purchaser paid the purchase consideration to the Seller consisting of (i) 22,991,028 newly issued shares of Common Stock valued at approximately $284 million in the aggregate (the “Stock Consideration”), and (ii) approximately $403 million in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), and in the case of the Cash Consideration, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Stock Consideration was issued based on an assumed value of $12.34 per share of Common Stock, representing the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive trading day period ended October 31, 2025, the last trading day prior to execution of the Purchase Agreement.
As contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Acquisition, Seller and Lanteris entered into a Transitional Services Agreement, pursuant to which Seller agreed to continue to provide or procure the provision of certain services, only on a transitional basis and in relation to specified business activities of Lanteris, for payment amounts set forth therein.
The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Company Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2025 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
