SEC Form S-1 filed by Momentus Inc.

As filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 11, 2025.

 

This Prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time-to-time of up to 8,169,940 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Momentus Inc. (the “Company,” “Momentus,” “we,” “our” or “us”) by the Selling Stockholders identified in this prospectus or their permitted transferees (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”). The shares of Common Stock registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus consist of (i) 7,211,535 shares of Common Stock, consisting of 477,455 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the Master Services Agreement (as defined below) and 6,734,080 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock (as defined below) issued in connection with the Master Services Agreement; (ii) 191,339 shares of Common Stock issued to four vendors and one customer to settle outstanding debts of approximately $337,942.42; and (iii) 767,066 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible promissory note dated May 13, 2025 by the Company (the “Convertible Note”) (collectively, the “Shares”).

We are not selling any shares of Common Stock under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the Shares.

Sales of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may sell shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealer or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders, the purchasers of the shares, or both.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales of Common Stock. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of these securities, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The Selling Stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to its sale of shares of Common Stock. See “Plan of Distribution” of this prospectus.

Our registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that either we or the Selling Stockholders will issue, offer or sell any of the Shares.

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MNTS.” On June 9, 2025, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock was $1.60 per share.

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, as such, have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available for smaller reporting companies. See “Prospectus Summary – Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company.”

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus concerning our business and the industry and markets in which we operate, including with respect to our business prospects, our market position and opportunity, and the competitive landscape, is based on information from our management’s estimates, as well as from industry publications, surveys, and studies conducted by third parties. Our management’s estimates are derived from publicly available information, their knowledge of our business and industry, and assumptions based on such information and knowledge, which they believe to be reasonable. In addition, while we believe that information contained in the industry publications, surveys, and studies has been obtained from reliable sources, we have not independently verified any of the data contained in these third-party sources, and the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in these sources is not guaranteed.

Although we are not aware of any misstatements regarding the market and industry data presented in this prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference, these estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2025, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus in its entirety, as well as any amendment or updates to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K/A filed on April 9, 2025. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on this information.

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding Momentus’ or its management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, and are not guarantees of future performance. The words “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “future,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “aim,” “strive,” “predict,” “project,” “contemplate,” “objective,” “target,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus may include, for example, statements about:

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting our business will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the effect of all such risk factors on our 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. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made by us in this prospectus and any free writing prospectus speak only as of the date of this prospectus and any free writing prospectus. Except to the extent required under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that the events or results suggested by the forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our Common Stock, you should consider carefully the specific risk factors discussed in this section and above under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2025, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus in its entirety, as well as any amendment or updates to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, including Form 10-K/A filed on April 9, 2025 and any prospectus supplement hereto or any related free writing prospectus. These risks and uncertainties are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently view as immaterial, may also impair our business. If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial conditions, results of operations, stock price and prospectus could be materially and adversely affected. In that even, the price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

The financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting which assumes that we will continue as a going concern, and do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. To date, the Company has not generated sufficient revenues to provide cash flows that enable the Company to finance its operations internally. In connection with an evaluation conducted by the Company’s management during the preparation of this report, management concluded that there were conditions and events which raised substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within twelve months after the date of the issuance of the financial statements included in this report.

The uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern could materially adversely affect our share price and our ability to service our indebtedness, raise new capital or enter into commercial transactions. To address these matters, the Company may take actions that materially and adversely affect our business, including significant reductions in research, development, administrative and commercial activities, reduction of our employee base, and ultimately curtailing or ceasing operations, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and share price. In addition, doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern could impact our relationships with customers, vendors and other third parties and our ability to obtain, maintain or renew contracts with them, or negatively impact our negotiating leverage with such parties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, any loss of key personnel, employee attrition or material erosion of employee morale arising out of doubts about our ability to operate as a going concern could have a material adverse effect on our ability to effectively conduct our business and could impair our ability to execute our strategy and implement our business objectives, thereby having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On March 27, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Common Stock, the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). At that time, the Company was provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Original Notice, or until September 23, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

As the Company did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by September 23, 2024, and it was determined that the Company is not eligible for another 180 calendar-day extension because it did not meet the minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirements of $5,000,000 for Nasdaq, as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505(b), the Company received the Delisting Determination Letter.

The Company also received deficiency letters on May 23, 2024 and August 21, 2024, respectively, from the Staff notifying the Company that the Company had not filed its Form 10-Q for the periods ending March 31, 2024 and

June 30, 2024, respectively, as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(d)(2), the failures to comply with the Periodic Reporting Requirement individually became additional and separate bases for delisting.

On October 15, 2024, the Company filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, resolving two of the deficiencies previously identified by Nasdaq.

On October 17, 2024, the Company received further notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) as a result of not having a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing as of June 30, 2024, a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million, or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.

As permitted by Nasdaq rules, the Company timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearing Panel to appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination. The Company requested and received a stay of the suspension of trading and delisting of the Common Stock pending the conclusion of the hearing process, which allows the Common Stock to remain listed on Nasdaq at least until the Panel renders a decision following the hearing. The hearing before the Panel was held on November 14, 2024, at which the Company requested a suspension of delisting pending its return to compliance. The Company called a special meeting of stockholders on December 2, 2024 where the stockholders approved a reverse stock split, should it be necessary, as part of the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq rules.

On December 4, 2024, the board of directors of the Company approved the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split was effective at the opening of trading on Nasdaq on the Effective Date. On December 27, 2024, the Company’s Common Stock closed above the minimum bid price for ten consecutive trading days as required to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

On January 13, 2025, the Company received a letter issued by the Panel granting the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq until April 15, 2025 while the Company executes its plan to regain compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b). Additionally, the Panel confirmed that the Company has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as a result of the Reverse Stock Split the Company effected on December 12, 2024.

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 14, 2025, on April 12, 2025, the Company entered into the Master Services Agreement with Velo3D, Inc. (OTC: VLDX), a provider of additive manufacturing solutions, also referred to as 3D printing, pursuant to which VLD will provide services to design and produce components and systems that will be utilized by the Company or its customers in its spacecraft, systems, and components. In exchange for the services, the Company issued an aggregate of 477,455 shares of Common Stock and 673,408 shares of non-voting Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

As a result of the transaction, the Company believes it had stockholders’ equity of approximately $8.1 million on April 15, 2025, and thereby satisfied the Equity Rule.

Notwithstanding, the Company must await Nasdaq’s formal confirmation that it has evidenced compliance with the Equity Rule. Furthermore, if deemed compliant, Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company to ensure its ongoing compliance with the Equity Rule and, if at the time of filing of the Company’s next periodic financial statements the Company does not evidence compliance with the Equity Rule, the Company may again be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with the Equity Rule, the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, or other applicable Nasdaq listing rules, that the Company will be able to successfully implement a reverse stock split if it decides to pursue one, that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for a suspension of delisting on Nasdaq, or that the Company’s appeal of a delisting determination will be successful. Additionally, if we fail to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, we are not eligible for a 180-day cure period from Nasdaq to regain compliance with such requirement because we have conducted a reverse stock split in the past year and thus we would be immediately delisted.

If at the time of filing of the Company’s next periodic financial statements the Company does not evidence compliance with the Equity Rule, the Company may again be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. If the Common Stock loses its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Common Stock would likely trade in the over-the-counter market.

If the Common Stock were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling the Common Stock could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of us may be reduced. In addition, in the event the Common Stock is delisted, broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Common Stock, further limiting the liquidity of such shares. A determination that the Common Stock is a “penny stock” would require brokers trading in the Common Stock to adhere to even more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the Common Stock. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for the Common Stock. Such delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market and continued or further declines in the price of shares of the Common Stock could also greatly impair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing, and could significantly increase the ownership dilution to stockholders caused by our issuing equity in financing or other transactions.

We have a substantial number of convertible securities outstanding. The exercise of our outstanding warrants, conversion of our convertible notes, and exercise of our convertible Preferred Stock will likely have a dilutive effect on our Common Stock. The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants or conversion of Preferred Stock could result in substantial dilution to our stockholders, which may have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock.

We need to raise funds in the future to execute our business plan. We may seek to raise additional capital to expand our business, pursue strategic investments, and take advantage of financing or other opportunities that we believe to be in our best interests and the interests of our stockholders. Additional capital may be raised through the sale of common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, entry into debt facilities or other third-party funding arrangements. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of the Common Stock. Agreements entered into in connection with such capital raising activities could contain covenants that would restrict our operations or require us to relinquish certain rights. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. If we cannot timely raise any needed funds, we may be forced to reduce our operating expenses, which could adversely affect our ability to implement our long-term strategic roadmap and grow our business. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by our inability to utilize a registration statement on Form S-3 to raise capital until April 2026 due to the late filing of our Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 20, 2025.

The publicly traded shares of the Common Stock have experienced, and may experience in the future significant price and volume fluctuations. During the 12 months ended June 9, 2025, the market price of the Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq has ranged from a high of $28.56 per share to a low of $1.51 per share. This market volatility could reduce the market price of the Common Stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, the trading price of the Common Stock could change significantly in response to actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results, announcements by us or our competitors, factors affecting the space transportation industry generally, changes in national or regional economic conditions, changes in securities analysts’ estimates for us or our competitors’ or industry’s future performance or general market conditions, making it more difficult for shares of the Common Stock to be sold at a favorable price or at all. The market price of the Common Stock could also be reduced by general market price declines or market volatility in the future or future declines or volatility in the prices of stocks for companies in our industry.

As of the date of this Registration Statement on Form S-1, we had 673,408 outstanding shares of non-voting Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, at its option, convert each of its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into ten shares of Common Stock, subject to the limitations in

the Certificate of Designations, provided that such holder hold no more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock at any time. The conversion of the non-voting Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company will cause significant dilution to the then holders of our Common Stock. In addition, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of our outstanding non-voting Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock, which typically depresses a company’s stock price. If we experience overhang, any additional shares which the then holders of our Common Stock attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the market price of our Common Stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of the Common Stock by our existing stockholders in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of the Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of the Common Stock.

Any issuance of equity we may undertake in the future to raise additional capital could cause the price of the Common Stock to decline, or require us to issue shares at a price that is lower than that paid by holders of the Common Stock in the past, which would result in those newly issued shares being dilutive. In addition, future investors could gain rights superior to existing stockholders, such as liquidation and other preferences. If we obtain funds through a credit facility or through the issuance of debt or preferred securities, these securities will likely have rights senior to the rights of a common stockholder, which could impair the value of the Common Stock.

We also have stock options and warrants outstanding to purchase shares of our capital stock. Our stockholders may incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options and warrants.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register such shares.

This prospectus covers the resale or other disposition by the Selling Stockholders identified in the table below of the Shares, consisting of up to an aggregate of 8,169,940 shares of Common Stock. The Selling Stockholders acquired the Shares in the transaction described above under the heading “Prospectus Summary—Nasdaq Deficiency,” “—Debt Settlements”, and “—Convertible Promissory Note.”

The Convertible Note is subject to a conversion limitation of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of May 13, 2025, unless stockholder approval is obtained per Nasdaq rules.

The table below sets forth, as of June 10, 2025, the following information regarding the Selling Stockholders:

The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.

All information with respect to the Common Stock ownership of the Selling Stockholders has been furnished by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. We believe, based on information supplied by the Selling Stockholders, that except as may otherwise be indicated in the footnotes to the table below, the Selling Stockholders have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders. Because the Selling Stockholders identified in the table may sell some or all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and covered by this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreement, arrangements, or understanding with respect to the sale of any of the shares of Common Stock, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale hereby that will be held by the Selling Stockholders upon termination of this offering. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time from time to time, the shares of Common Stock they beneficially own in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which it provided the information set forth in the table below. We have, therefore, assumed for the purposes of the following table, that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of their respective shares of Common Stock owned beneficially by them that are covered by this prospectus, but will not sell any other shares of Common Stock that they presently own. Except as set forth below, the Selling Stockholders have not held any position or office, or has otherwise had a material relationship, with us or any of our subsidiaries within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of our shares of Common Stock or other securities.

The Selling Stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the applicable Selling Stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the applicable Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the applicable Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The applicable Selling Stockholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The applicable Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The applicable Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed the Company that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information

under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The securities covered hereby will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the securities by the applicable Selling Stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The registrant’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, provide for indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The registrant’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides for such limitation of liability to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The registrant has entered into, and expects to continue to enter into, indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These agreements provide that the registrant will indemnify each of its directors and such officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Any underwriting agreement or distribution agreement that the registrant enters into with any underwriters or agents involved in the offering or sale of any securities registered hereby may require such underwriters or dealers to indemnify the registrant, some or all of its directors and officers and its controlling persons, if any, for specified liabilities, which may include liabilities under the Securities Act.

The registrant also maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, while acting in their capacity as directors and officers of the registrant.

The Company has not issued unregistered securities to any person within the last three years, except as described below. None of these transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, except as specified below, or any public offering, and, unless otherwise indicated below, the Company believes that each transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof, Rule 701 of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. All recipients had adequate access, though their relationships with the Company, to information about the Company. All number and share prices have been adjusted for the 1-for-14 reverse stock split effected on December 13, 2024.

Issuance of Common Stock to Non-employees: During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 193 shares of Common Stock to a third-party consulting firm in exchange for public relations services. The shares were not issued under any equity incentive plan of the Company. Under the agreement, the shares were contingently forfeitable in the event of early termination by the Company. The shares had an issuance date fair value of $0.1 million to be recorded as consulting expense over the six-month term of the agreement. Related consulting expense of $0.1 million was recognized over the six-month term of the agreement. The Company issued no shares to non-employees during the year ended December 31, 2024.

On September 15, 2024, the Company engaged in a private placement transaction, pursuant to which the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with an investor, and agreed to (i) sell and issue to such stockholder pre-funded warrants to purchase 357,143 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $7.70 per share (the “Investor Warrants”), Class A warrants to purchase 714,286 shares of Common Stock and Class B warrants to purchase 357,143 shares of Common Stock.

The purchase price of each pre-funded warrant equals the price per share at which shares of our Common Stock are being sold in the private placement minus $0.00001, and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant equals $0.00001 per share. The pre-funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and will not expire until exercised in full. The warrants all have an exercise price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.575 per share. The Class A warrants will expire March 17, 2030, and the Class B warrants will expire March 17, 2026. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Stock. The investor may not exercise the Investor Warrants until the date that is 6 months after the original issuance date of the Investor Warrants.

In connection with the private placement, on September 15, 2024, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with the Placement Agent. As part of its compensation for acting as Placement Agent for the private placement, the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds and also agreed to issue to the Placement Agent warrants at an exercise price of $0.6325, exercisable beginning March 14, 2025. One half of the Placement Agent warrants have a term of eighteen months from September 15, 2024, and the other half of the Placement Agent warrants have a term of five years from September 15, 2024.

On July 12, 2024, the Company and Space Infrastructures Ventures, LLC (“SIV”) a firm that invests in disruptive high-tech/space-tech ventures, entered into a secured convertible promissory note (the “Initial Convertible Note”) pursuant to which Momentus may borrow up to $2.3 million prior to September 1, 2024, consisting of (i) an initial loan in the principal amount of $500,000 which may be borrowed on or after July 17, 2024, and (ii) one or more subsequent loans totaling up to $1.8 million in aggregate principal amount which may be borrowed on or after August 7, 2024, with the $1.8 million subject to certain conditions including the availability of financing to SIV. Borrowings under the Initial Convertible Note bear interest at 15% per annum. Principal on the Initial Convertible Note is to be re-paid in four equal payments on a quarterly basis, commencing on December 1, 2024, and the Initial Convertible Note has a maturity date of September 1, 2025, at which time all accrued interest is due. As of December 31, 2024, all amounts available under the Initial Convertible Note have been borrowed by the Company.

Amounts borrowed under the Initial Convertible Note are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. In lieu of cash payments of accrued interest, SIV, in its sole discretion, may elect to receive shares of Momentus Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.53 per share (the “Conversion Price”). On the maturity date, subject to the satisfaction of applicable legal and regulatory conditions, all outstanding obligations under the Initial Convertible Note automatically convert into Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The proceeds of the Initial Convertible Note are to be used solely for the following purposes: (a) to fund day-to-day working capital needs in the order course of business, consistent with Momentus practices prior to the execution of the Initial Convertible Note, (b) for general purposes in the ordinary course of business, consistent with Momentus practices prior to the execution of the Initial Convertible Note, and (c) to repay secured indebtedness owed to certain directors and officers of Momentus.

On October 24, 2024, the Company and SIV entered into a secured convertible promissory note (the “Subsequent Convertible Note”, and, together with the Initial Convertible Note, the “Convertible Notes”) pursuant to which

Momentus may borrow up to $3.0 million in two tranches, consisting of (i) an initial loan in the principal amount of $2 million, and (ii) up to an additional $1 million in principal amount which may be borrowed from December 22, 2024 through February 14, 2025. Borrowings under the Subsequent Convertible Note bear interest at 15% per annum. The Subsequent Convertible Note has a maturity date of October 24, 2025, at which time all principal and accrued interest is due. Amounts borrowed under the Subsequent Convertible Note are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company.

At any time after the date that is six months after the original issuance date of the Subsequent Convertible Note, SIV may convert some or all of the outstanding obligations under the Convertible Note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $7.4088 per share. The conversion price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Subsequent Convertible Note is subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Stock.

In addition to the Subsequent Convertible Note, the Company agreed to issue to SIV warrants to purchase approximately 6.5 million shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.5292 per share (the “SIV Warrants”), of which warrants to purchase approximately 3.8 million shares of Common Stock were issued on November 14, 2024 following the funding of the first tranche under the Subsequent Convertible Note. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the SIV Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Stock. SIV may not exercise the SIV Warrants prior to April 24, 2025, and the SIV Warrants will expire April 24, 2030.

Additionally, on November 30, 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the Convertible Notes. The amendments to the Subsequent Convertible Note accelerated the borrowing date for the second tranche of $1 million in principal amount to December 2, 2024, which borrowing date had previously been no earlier than December 22, 2024. Accordingly, the Company has now borrowed the full $3 million in principal amount under the Subsequent Convertible Note.

The amendments also permitted SIV to reserve out of the proceeds of the second tranche under the Subsequent Convertible Note of approximately $670 thousand, representing the amount of principal and interest due from the Company to SIV on December 1, 2024, under the Initial Convertible Note.

The amendments to the Convertible Notes also provide SIV the option to convert all amounts outstanding under either Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at any time. Previously, the Initial Convertible Note only permitted conversion of interest when and as due, while the Subsequent Convertible Note only permitted conversion of outstanding amounts when and as due. The conversion price of amounts outstanding under the Initial Convertible Note remained unchanged at $7.40712. The conversion price of amounts outstanding under the Subsequent Convertible Note remained unchanged at $7.4088.

In connection with the borrowing of the second tranche under the Subsequent Convertible Note, the Company issued to SIV warrants to purchase approximately 463,223 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $7.4088 per share, as originally required by the Subsequent Convertible Note.

The Company also agreed to register the resale by SIV of all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and the warrants issued to SIV.

Neither the Subsequent Convertible Note nor the SIV Warrants can be converted or exercised if it would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by SIV (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion or exercise, as applicable. By written notice, SIV may, with the agreement of the Company, from time to time increase or decrease this ownership limitation to any other percentage.

The proceeds of the Subsequent Convertible Note are to be used solely to fund day-to-day working capital needs in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices, and for general purposes in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices. The Subsequent Convertible Note requires SIV’s consent to take certain actions, such as purchasing assets outside the ordinary course of business, extending financing, making capital expenditures in excess of $100,000, repaying debts outside the ordinary course of business or investing in any entity or enterprise.

On May 16, 2025, the Board of Directors of Momentus authorized offering SIV a reduced conversion price of $1.77 per share with respect to 112,576 shares of Common Stock under the Initial Convertible Note, and thereafter with respect to up to 275,000 shares of Common Stock under the Subsequent Convertible Note during the period beginning on May 19, 2025 and continuing until June 1, 2025. On March 3, 2025, the Board of Directors of Momentus had previously offered SIV a reduced conversion price of $2.12 per share of Common Stock for the Initial Convertible Note. The current conversion price for the Subsequent Convertible Note is $7.4088.

On December 13, 2024, Momentus entered into a Loan Agreement with J.J. Astor & Co. pursuant to which Momentus borrowed $2.0 million. The Loan Agreement had a maturity date of September 19, 2025, and was payable in 40 weekly installments of $67,500. The loan was prepaid on December 19, 2024 for $2.4 million using proceeds from the December Offering. In connection with the Loan Agreement, Momentus issued to J.J. Astor & Co. warrants to purchase up to 28,572 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $5.92 per share. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Stock.

Momentus entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with J.J. Astor & Co. that required the Company to file a resale shelf registration statement registering the resale of the conversion shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants within 31 calendar days following the closing date. The Company registered the conversion shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-283727), filed with the SEC under the Securities Act that was declared effective on January 2, 2025.

None of the warrants can be converted or exercised if it would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by J.J. Astor & Co. (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. By written notice, J.J. Astor & Co. may from time to time increase or decrease this ownership limitation to any other percentage up to 9.99%. Exercise of the warrants is also subject to compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules; provided, that any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

On February 11, 2025, the Company consummated a “best efforts” public placement pursuant of an aggregate of (i) 300,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, (ii) 973,886 pre-funded warrants (the “February Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 973,886 shares of Common Stock, and (iii) 1,273,886 Common Stock purchase warrants (“Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,273,886 shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock, or a February Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu thereof, was sold together with an accompanying Common Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock.

The public offering price for each share of Common Stock and one accompanying Common Warrant was $3.92499. The public offering price of each February Pre-Funded Warrant and one accompanying Common Warrant was $3.925, which equals the price at which one share of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrant was sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.00001. The exercise price of each February Pre-Funded Warrant is $0.00001 per share. Each Common Warrant offered in this offering is exercisable for one share of Common Stock and has an initial exercise price equal to $3.80. The exercise price of the Common Warrants and the February Pre-Funded Warrants and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise will adjust in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events.

In connection with the offering, on February 10, 2025, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to act as Placement Agent on a reasonable “best efforts” basis in connection with the offering. The Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the offering. In addition, the Company has also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for legal expenses incurred by it in connection with the offering in an amount not to exceed $95,000 and up to $10,000 for certain reasonable non-accountable fees and expenses. In addition, the Placement Agent will receive warrants (the “February Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the offering, or an aggregate of 63,694 shares of Common Stock. The February Placement Agent Warrants will have substantially the same terms as

the Common Warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price of $4.3175 per share (representing 110% of the offering price per share of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrant) and will expire five years from the commencement of the sales pursuant to the offering.

In connection with the offering, on February 10, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a single institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed not to effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for a period of thirty (30) days and will not effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions.

The investor is the holder of certain Common Stock purchase warrants, issued on each of (i) September 17, 2024 (the “Class A September 2024 Warrant” and the “Class B September 2024 Warrant”), (ii) October 24, 2024 (the “October 2024 Warrant”), and (iii) December 18, 2024 (the “December 2024 Warrant” and collectively with the Class A September 2024 Warrant, the Class B September 2024 Warrant, and the October 2024 Warrant, the “2024 Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock.

In connection with the offering, on February 10, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2024 Warrants (the “Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Warrants”) with the investor, pursuant to which the exercise price per share of the Common Stock under each 2024 Warrant shall be $3.80, subject to adjustment. The warrant amendment was subject to stockholder approval, which amendment was approved by our stockholders at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 19, 2025, and the warrants shall expire five years from the date stockholder approval is obtained.

On April 12, 2025, the Company entered into the Master Services Agreement with Velo3D, Inc. (OTC: VLDX), a provider of additive manufacturing solutions also referred to as 3D printing. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, VLD will provide services to design and produce components and systems that will be utilized by Momentus or its customers in its spacecraft, systems, and components. According to the terms of the Master Services Agreement, Momentus is entitled to services equal to the Equivalent Capacity. Momentus will have first priority to utilize the Equivalent Capacity, and VLD will ensure the Equivalent Capacity is available for use as and when required by Momentus.

If and when the Equivalent Capacity is not utilized by Momentus, VLD may use the Equivalent Capacity to provide services to other customers. According to the Master Services Agreement, Momentus will be compensated for such use based on a formula equal to 20% of $3 million less service fees attributed to Momentus in the first year and 50% of $3 million less service fees attributed to Momentus in each subsequent year of the agreement. Such compensation shall reduce the amount in the prepaid reserve, as described in the Master Services Agreement. The term of the Master Services Agreement is five years unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.

In exchange for the services, Momentus issued an aggregate of 477,455 shares of Common Stock and 673,408 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of Common Stock, subject to the limitations in the Certificate of Designations, including that VLD hold no more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Momentus’ Common Stock at any time.

Between April 21, 2025 and May 13, 2025, the Company issued 191,339 shares of Common Stock to four vendors and one customer to settle outstanding debts of approximately $337,942.42.

Shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued in the transactions described herein are exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Each of the vendors is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D or “sophisticated investor” and was acquiring the shares for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. Accordingly, the shares of the Company’s Common Stock were not registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

On May 13, 2025, the Company issued to A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Holder”) a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $1,200,000 to evidence the Holder’s currently owed deferred commission. Unless earlier converted as specified in the Convertible Note, the principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest is due on November 13, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The Convertible Note accrues interest at 4.5% per annum.

At any time prior to the full payment of the Convertible Note the Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect to have all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and all interest accrued converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a fixed price of $1.67, subject to adjustment as provided therein and to take into account any future share splits or reverse splits. In addition, a conversion of the Convertible Note that would cause the aggregate number of shares issued under the Convertible Note to exceed the Conversion Limit (as such term is defined in the Convertible Note) may not occur prior to receipt of stockholder approval to provide for such conversion of the Convertible Note, and the subsequent issuance of Common Stock, pursuant to the stockholder approval rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Further, following the Holder’s ability to convert the Convertible Note, if at all, the Holder will not be entitled to receive the Company’s Common Stock upon conversion, if such conversion would result in the Holder owning greater than 9.99% of the Company’s then currently outstanding Common Stock. The Holder is also entitled to resale registration rights as identified in the Convertible Note.

The Company may prepay the Convertible Note in whole or in part. The Convertible Note contains customary default provisions for a transaction of this nature. In the event of certain Events of Default (as defined in the Convertible Note), all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Note will become, or may become at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable to the Holder.

The Company issued the Convertible Note pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, available under Section 4(a)(2). The shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note, in amount of up to 767,066 shares, if such amount is not previously paid prior to maturity and the Holder elects to convert the Convertible Note, have not been registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

On May 30, 2025, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with J.J. Astor & Co. (the “Lender”) pursuant to which Momentus may borrow up to $1.5 million in two equal tranches of $750,000 (collectively, the “Loan”). Each tranche of the Loan is payable in 40 weekly installments of $25,312.50. In lieu of cash, the Company may elect to pay the weekly installments with shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.70 (the “Installment Shares”), provided that the Company pays at least 10% of the weekly installments in cash. The Lender may also elect to receive the weekly installments in the form of Installment Shares in lieu of cash. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company.

The proceeds of the Loan Agreement are to be used for general working capital purposes. The Loan Agreement requires the Lender’s consent to take certain actions, such as incurring additional indebtedness other than permitted indebtedness (as defined in the Loan Agreement), repaying indebtedness to affiliates, or incurring liens other than permitted liens (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement will accelerate and become immediately due upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default, including failure to pay amounts owing when due, a default under the Company’s other obligations or judgment in an amount in excess of $100,000, a failure to timely file certain SEC filings, and/or certain events involving a discontinuation of our business or certain types of proceedings involving insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership and the like, or a change of control of Momentus.

Upon an event of default, amounts owing under the convertible notes issued in connection with funding of each tranche of the Loan (the “Convertible Notes”) will automatically increase by 120% and be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to 20% of the closing price of the Common Stock on the date the initial tranche is funded (the “Default Conversion Price”). In the event that the Lender elects to convert any amounts outstanding on the Convertible Notes and the Default Conversion Price is greater than the closing price of the Common Stock on the date the Lender sends the Company notice of an event of default (such closing price, the

“Notice Date Price”), then the Company shall issue additional shares of Common Stock to the Lender such that the total shares to be issued upon conversion is based on the Notice Date Price. The conversion prices and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes are also subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Stock.

In addition to the Loan Agreement, Momentus agreed to issue to the Lender warrants upon the funding of each tranche of the Loan to purchase up to 476,470 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.70 per share (the “Lender Warrants”). The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Lender Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Stock. The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Lender that requires the Company to file a resale shelf registration statement registering the resale of up to 200% of the conversion shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Lender Warrants within three business days prior to the funding of the initial tranche of the Loan.

None of the Convertible Notes can be converted if it would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender (together with its affiliates) to exceed 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion and none of the Lender Warrants can exercised if it would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Lender (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. By written notice, the Lender may, with the agreement of the Company, from time to time increase or decrease this ownership limitation to any other percentage. Conversion of the Convertible Notes and exercise of the Lender Warrants is also subject to compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules.
