Better than expected
23 June 2025 5:27 PM
Management Change
- The explicit statement that the Chief Accounting Officer's resignation was not due to any disagreement with the company on financial reporting, operations, policies, or practices is a positive indicator, suggesting a smooth and amicable transition rather than a contentious departure.
- The immediate assumption of the principal accounting officer role by the existing Chief Financial Officer demonstrates a clear and efficient succession plan, minimizing potential disruption.
Worse than expected
18 June 2025 8:10 PM
Proxy Statement
- The proposed 100-for-1 reverse stock split is typically a measure taken by companies with a low stock price, often to avoid delisting from exchanges like Nasdaq, which can signal underlying financial or operational challenges.
- The request to increase authorized shares by over 300% (from 600 million to 2.58 billion) and to approve large equity issuances under Nasdaq rules 5635(b) and (d) strongly suggests an intent for significant future dilution, which is generally negative for existing shareholders.
Capital raise
18 June 2025 8:10 PM
Proxy Statement
- The proposal to increase authorized common stock from 600,000,000 to 2,580,000,000 provides the company with significantly more shares to issue for future capital raises.
- The request for approval under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) and (d) explicitly mentions the issuance of shares upon conversion of Series A Convertible Senior Preferred Stock, the exercise of a warrant to purchase 780,000,000 shares, and in connection with a 'Financing,' all of which are mechanisms for raising capital or significant equity transactions.
Capital raise
18 June 2025 4:09 PM
Proxy Statement
- On May 7, 2025, LanzaTech issued and sold 20,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Senior Preferred Stock to LanzaTech Global SPV, LLC (controlled by Khosla Ventures) for an aggregate purchase price of $40 million.
- The company agreed to issue a warrant to the Purchaser to buy 780,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0000001 per share, contingent on stockholder approvals and a subsequent financing.
- LanzaTech is obligated to use reasonable best efforts to consummate a 'Subsequent Financing' by selling Common Stock to accredited investors at $0.05 per share (subject to adjustment), aiming to raise between $35 million and $60 million.
- The 'Subsequent Financing' must be consummated no later than 45 days following receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approvals.
- The company may also pursue an 'Other Financing' with the consent of the Majority Holders of Preferred Stock, in lieu of the 'Subsequent Financing'.
Worse than expected
18 June 2025 4:09 PM
Proxy Statement
- The company's stock price has fallen below Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, indicating poor market performance and triggering a delisting threat.
- The necessity for a 100-for-1 reverse stock split highlights a significant decline in share value.
- The proposed capital raise, including the issuance of a warrant and a subsequent financing, will result in an estimated 853.6% dilution of existing common stock, indicating a distressed need for capital at a very low valuation ($0.05 per share pre-split).
- The company explicitly states it cannot assure sufficient liquidity to make a mandatory redemption payment for the Preferred Stock if stockholder approvals are not obtained, signaling severe financial strain.
- The company has consistently reported significant net losses, with 2024's net loss at $(137.70) million, showing a lack of profitability and increasing losses over the past three years.
Worse than expected
6 June 2025 6:20 AM
Material Definitive Agreement and Management Change
- The interest rates on the extended loan period significantly increase to 8% and then 12% per annum, which will lead to higher interest expenses compared to the original terms (though the original rate is not specified, an increase is implied by the new rates being stated for the extension).
- The amended terms are conditional and will revert to original, potentially less favorable, terms if the company fails to consummate subsequent financing or convert Series A Preferred Stock, indicating a contingent and potentially unstable financial arrangement.
Capital raise
6 June 2025 6:20 AM
Material Definitive Agreement and Management Change
- The document refers to the "Series A Convertible Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement" and mentions that the amended loan terms will revert to original if the "Series A Convertible Senior Preferred Stock of the Purchaser is not converted to common equity."
- It also states that the amended terms will revert if the Company does not consummate a "Subsequent Financing or an Other Financing (each as defined in the Certificate of Designation)." This implies a future capital raise is anticipated or required.
Delay expected
3 June 2025 6:20 AM
Amendment to Financing Agreement
- The date for the Company to issue and sell warrants was extended from May 31, 2025, to immediately prior to the consummation of a Subsequent Financing or Other Financing (if by May 7, 2026).
- The deadline for the Company to deliver written consent of BGTF Aggregator LP was extended to June 6, 2025.
- The deadline for the Company to convene a meeting of its stockholders to obtain Requisite Stockholder Approvals was extended to no later than 75 days following the Closing Date (May 7, 2025), or 90 days if the SEC reviews the proxy statement.
- The deadline for the Company to consummate the Subsequent Financing was extended to no later than 45 days following receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approvals.
- The obligation to file the Registration Statement by June 6, 2025, was waived, with a new deadline set for the earlier of 45 calendar days following receipt of Requisite Stockholder Approvals or 10 business days following the issuance of Warrant Shares.
Worse than expected
3 June 2025 6:20 AM
Amendment to Financing Agreement
- The need for multiple deadline extensions (warrant issuance, BGTF consent, stockholder meeting, subsequent financing) suggests the company is facing challenges in executing its financing plan as initially envisioned.
- The potential 100:1 reverse stock split indicates a significantly depressed stock price, which is generally a negative signal to the market.
- The Subsequent Financing price of $0.05 per share is substantially lower than the preferred stock's original issue price of $2.00, implying significant dilution for common shareholders.
- The extremely low warrant exercise price ($0.0000001) also points to substantial potential dilution.
- The mandatory redemption trigger if BGTF consent is not obtained by June 6, 2025, highlights a critical, near-term financial risk.
Capital raise
3 June 2025 6:20 AM
Amendment to Financing Agreement
- The company previously issued and sold 20,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Senior Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $40,000,000 to LanzaTech Global SPV, LLC.

12 May 2025 10:12 AM
Amendment to Beneficial Ownership Report
- The planned 'Subsequent Financing' at $0.05 per share (pre-reverse split) implies a very low valuation for the common stock, which is significantly worse than what existing shareholders would typically expect.
- The necessity of a reverse stock split, often a measure to avoid delisting or to make shares more appealing at a higher nominal price, generally signals underlying financial weakness and is perceived negatively by the market.
- The massive potential dilution from the 780,000,000 warrants at a nominal exercise price, combined with the preferred stock conversion, indicates a substantial transfer of value and control to the new investor at the expense of existing common shareholders.
