PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
LanzaTech Global, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”). As previously disclosed, the Company is streamlining its priorities to sharpen its business focus and improve its cost structure, and as part of these initiatives, the Company is evaluating various strategic options. These ongoing strategic measures have required a significant amount of management’s time and other Company resources. The process and structure of these potential transactions will impact the Company’s disclosures in its Form 10-K. Additionally, the status and implementation of any such transaction would also impact the Company’s assessment of its financial position and liquidity and corresponding disclosures in its Form 10-K. As a result of the increased workload associated with these efforts, including their impact on procedures and disclosures related to finalizing the Form 10-K, the Company is unable to file the Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense.
The Company intends to file the Form 10-K no later than the prescribed due date provided by Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

| (2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). ☒ Yes ☐ No | |||||||||||||||||||
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? ☒ Yes ☐ No | |||||||||||||||||||
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
The Company currently anticipates that its results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (“FY 2024”) will contain certain significant changes from its results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“FY 2023”). More specifically, the Company expects to report a decrease in revenue in FY 2024 in the low double digit percentage range as compared to FY 2023. Additionally, the Company expects to report a decrease in cost of revenues in FY 2024 in the mid double digit percentage range as compared to FY 2023. The Company also expects to report an increase in operating expense in FY 2024 in the high single digit percentage range as compared to FY 2023.
The foregoing expectations are preliminary and subject to change upon finalization of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for FY 2024. There can be no assurance that the final results will not differ materially from the foregoing preliminary results.

Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include the risk factors and other information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for FY 2023 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other existing and future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Any forward-looking statement herein is based only on information currently available to the Company and speaks only as of the date on which it is made.
