Momentus Announces Convertible Note, Loans, and Successful Completion of Annual Meeting

Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) (“Momentus” or the “Company”), a U.S. commercial space company that offers satellite buses, transportation, and other in-space infrastructure services, today announced that it has entered into a convertible note and loan agreements to support operations and pursuit of funding opportunities for the Company. Momentus also announced that it recently held its Annual Meeting of the Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) where four Independent Directors were elected to continue to serve on its Board.

On July 12, 2024, Momentus and Space Infrastructure Ventures, LLC (“SIV”), a firm that invests in disruptive high-tech/space-tech ventures, entered into a convertible note under which Momentus may borrow up to $2.3 million prior to September 1, 2024 in two tranches subject to certain conditions, including the availability of financing to SIV. The convertible note provides SIV with the option to convert the principal and interest of the convertible note into Momentus shares, subject to certain conditions. Six directors and officers of the Company also recently entered into agreements to loan Momentus an aggregate of $500,000.

Momentus intends to use the funds received under the convertible note and director and officer loan agreements to support operations and ongoing work to develop opportunities for the Company that includes new proposals submitted in the last two weeks to the Space Development Agency (SDA) and U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command for programs involving the use of satellite buses produced by Momentus to test and demonstrate new technologies in space and track missiles. Momentus has also recently submitted a range of other proposals and responses to solicitations to other government and commercial customers. These proposals are under evaluation and the Company expects to receive the results of contract decisions in the coming weeks and months.

On June 28, 2024, the Company held its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. A quorum was present at the meeting and the results of shareholder votes were announced. Chris Hadfield, Victorino Mercado, Linda Reiners and John Rood were elected to continue to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors, with: (i) Messrs. Hadfield and Rood elected to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and (ii) Ms. Reiners and Mr. Mercado elected to serve until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Additional activities at the Company’s Annual Meeting included the successful ratification of the appointment of Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year and approval of the repricing of certain existing warrants of the Company issued to an institutional investor in a registered direct offering.

On July 5, 2024, Momentus received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that following the Annual Meeting, the Company is in now compliance with the requirement to hold an annual meeting under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) (the “Annual Meeting Requirement”).
