To the Holder of Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants to Purchase Shares of Class A Common Stock of Momentus Inc. Issued on September 17, 2024
Re: | Inducement Offer to Exercise Existing Class A and Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants |
Dear Holder:
Momentus Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer (this “Inducement Offer”) to you (“Holder”, “you” or similar terminology) the opportunity to receive new warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,142,858 shares (the “New Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), which is equal to 200% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain outstanding warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,071,429 shares of Class A Common Stock, currently held by you and consisting of: (i) 714,286 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Class A Warrants issued to you on September 17, 2024 (the “Class A Warrants”), and (ii) 357,143 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Class B Warrants issued to you on September 17, 2024 (the “Class B Warrants” and together with the Class A Warrants,, the “Existing Warrants”), as more particularly set forth on the signature page hereto, in consideration for exercising for cash any or all such Existing Warrants. The issuance, or resale, of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Existing Warrants have been registered pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-282724). The shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Existing Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares” and the effective registration statement on Form S-1 referenced in the foregoing sentence is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement.” The Registration Statement is currently effective and, upon exercise of the Existing Warrants pursuant to this letter agreement, will remain effective for the resale of the Warrant Shares. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the New Warrants (as defined hereinafter).
The Company is making you this offer during the period from the date of this Inducement Offer set forth above and until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on March 21, 2025 (the “Exercise Period”). Exercise of the Existing Warrants may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise attached to the Existing Warrants, as applicable; provided, that the exercise of Existing Warrants will be accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price (as defined below) to the Company.
The Company desires to reduce the Exercise Price of the Existing Warrants to $1.93 per share (the “Exercise Price”). In consideration for exercising the Existing Warrants held by the Holder, and each time that the Holder exercises Existing Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Offer (the “Warrant Exercise”), the Company hereby offers to issue you or your designees:
1
(a) unregistered New Warrants to purchase up to 2,142,858 New Warrant Shares, which equals 200% of the number of Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Existing Warrants, which New Warrants shall be issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), which New Warrants shall be substantially in the form as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The New Warrants will be exercisable at any time on or after the Stockholder Approval Date (as defined in the New Warrants), have an exercise price of $2.00 per share and have a term of exercise of five (5) years from the Stockholder Approval Date (as defined below); and
(b) the New Warrants certificates will be delivered within one (1) Trading Day following the Warrant Exercise, and such New Warrants, together with any Warrant Shares, shall, unless and until registered, contain customary restrictive legends and other language typical for an unregistered warrant and unregistered shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any Warrant Exercise would otherwise cause the Holder to exceed the beneficial ownership limitations (“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) set forth in Section 2(e) of the Existing Warrants (or, if applicable and at the Holder’s election, 9.99%), the Company shall only issue such number of Warrant Shares to the Holder that would not cause the Holder to exceed the maximum number of Warrant Shares permitted thereunder, as directed by the Holder, with the balance to be held in abeyance until notice from the Holder that the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such limitations, which abeyance shall be evidenced through the Existing Warrants which shall be deemed prepaid thereafter (including the payment in full of the exercise price), and exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exercise in the Existing Warrants (provided no additional exercise price shall be due and payable). The parties hereby agree that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation for purposes of the Existing Warrants is as set forth on the Holder’s signature page hereto.
Expressly subject to the paragraph immediately following this paragraph below, the Holder may accept this offer by signing this letter below, which constitutes the Holder’s acceptance to exercise Existing Warrants at the Holder’s own discretion subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 2(e) of the Existing Warrants.
In addition, the Company agrees to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Annex A attached hereto.
The Holder represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the Holder is fully aware of, and has reviewed all of the Company’s public filings.
Holder represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any New Warrants it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and agrees that the New Warrants will contain restrictive legends when issued, and neither the New Warrants nor the New Warrant Shares will be registered under the Securities Act, except as provided in Annex A attached hereto. Also, the Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the New Warrants as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of the New Warrants or the New Warrant Shares (this representation is not limiting Holder’s right to sell the New Warrant Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).
The Holder understands that the issuance of the New Warrants and the New Warrant Shares are not, and may never be, registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state and, accordingly, each certificate, if any, representing such securities shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following:
2
“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
Upon the Holder’s exercise of the New Warrants, certificates evidencing the New Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth above), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such New Warrant Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such New Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (iii) if such New Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the New Warrants), without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as to such New Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (iv) if such New Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the New Warrants) and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 as to such New Warrant Shares, or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the earliest of clauses (i) through (v), the “Delegend Date”)). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Delegend Date if required by the Company and/or the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or at the request of the Holder, which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder. From and after the Delegend Date, such New Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends, provided that, upon request of the Company (which request shall also include a form of customary representation letter), the Holder has delivered in advance to the Company a customary representation letter that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel. The Company agrees that following the Delegend Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section, it will, no later than one (1) Trading Day following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing the New Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend, along with such certificate(s) or other documentation reasonably requested by the Company’s counsel and/or the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), including a customary representation letter, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company’s counsel and/or the Transfer Agent (such first (1st) Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or, at the request of the Holder, shall credit the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Holder.
3
In addition to the Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Holder, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of New Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock on the date such New Warrant Shares are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the New Warrant Shares free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Class A Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Class A Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) over the product of (A) such number of New Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder by the Legend Removal Date and for which the Holder was required to purchase shares to timely satisfy delivery requirements, multiplied by (B) the weighted average price at which the Holder sold that number of shares of Class A Common Stock.
If this offer is accepted and this offer letter is executed, then on or before 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on the Trading Day following the date hereof, the Company shall issue a press release and/or file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder, including this letter agreement as an exhibit thereto with the Commission. From and after the issuance of such press release or filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, as applicable, the Company represents to you that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to you by the Company, or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release and/or filing of such Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and you and your Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company represents, warrants and covenants that, upon acceptance of this offer, and upon issuance of the Warrant Shares, the Warrant Shares shall be issued free of any legends or restrictions on resale by Holder.
No later than the first (1st) Trading Day following the date hereof, the closing (“Closing”) shall occur at such location as the parties shall mutually agree. Unless otherwise directed by A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners. (the “Financial Advisor”), settlement of the Warrant Shares shall occur via “Delivery Versus Payment” (“DVP”) (i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Warrant Shares registered in the Holder’s name and address provided to the Company in writing and released by the Transfer Agent directly to the account(s) at the Financial Advisor identified by the Holder; upon receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Financial Advisor shall promptly electronically deliver such Warrant Shares to the Holder, and payment therefor shall concurrently be made to the Company by the Financial Advisor (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company). The date of the Closing of the exercise of the Existing Warrants shall be referred to as the “Closing Date”.
Stockholder Approval. In addition, the Company shall hold an annual or special meeting of stockholders on or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days following the date of this offer letter for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposals are approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its stockholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposals. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every three (3) months thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the earlier of the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained or the New Warrants are no longer outstanding. The Holder covenants that if it holds any shares of Class A Common Stock as of the date of such meeting, the Holder shall not vote such shares of Class A Common Stock on the proposal for Stockholder Approval at such meeting.
4

If any action shall be brought against any Holder Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Holder Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to each Holder Party.

The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder.

The New Warrants and New Warrant Shares are duly authorized and the New Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of this letter and the New Warrants, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company. The New Warrants constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except: (i) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity.
c) No Conflicts.

(ii) | From the date hereof until the six (6) month anniversary following the date of this offer letter, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Class A Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an “at the market offering”, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price regardless of whether shares pursuant to such agreement have actually been issued and regardless of whether such agreement is subsequently canceled; provided, however, that, after sixty (60) days following the date of this offer letter, the entry into and/or issuance of shares of Common Stock in an “at the market” offering with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners as sales agent shall not be deemed a Variable Rate Transaction. The Holder shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages. |
12
