This Prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time-to-time of 25,500,000 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 respective permitted transferees (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”). The shares of Common Stock registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus consist of (i) 20,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Warrant Shares”) issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued to the Selling Stockholders on September 15, 2024, in connection with, and pursuant to the terms of, that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated September 15, 2024, by and between the Company and a certain investor signatory thereto (the “Investor”) and that certain Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), dated September 15, 2024, by and between the Company and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement Agent”); and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Subsequent Warrant Shares” and together with the Initial Warrant Shares, collectively, the “Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issued to the Investor on October 28, 2024. The Warrant Shares were issued to the Selling Stockholders in private placement offerings (collectively, the “Private Placement”).

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 Warrant Shares.

Sales of the Warrant 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 the shares 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 their 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 securities.

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MNTS.” On October 29, 2024, the last reported sales price of our Common Stock was $0.55 per share

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced disclosure and regulatory requirements.

Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have authorized anyone to provide you with different information. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders are making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any documents incorporated by reference is accurate as of any date other than the date of the applicable document.

If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it.

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 accompanying prospectus supplement speak only as of the date of this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplements. 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 under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on June 6, 2024, 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 September 16, 2024 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.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Warrant 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 Warrant Shares, consisting of up to an aggregate of 25,500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant Shares. The Selling Stockholders acquired the Warrant Shares in the transaction described above under the heading “Prospectus Summary—Private Placement.”

The Pre-Funded Warrants issued in the Initial Private Placement provide that the Investor will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-Funded Warrants if such exercise would cause (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, or (ii) the combined voting power of the Company’s securities beneficially owned by the Investor (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the combined voting power of all of the Company’s securities then outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

The Investor Warrants to be issued in the Private Placement provide that the Investor will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Investor Warrants if such exercise would cause (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, or (ii) the combined voting power of the Company’s securities beneficially owned by the Investor (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the combined voting power of all of the Company’s securities then outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Investor Warrants.

The table below sets forth, as of October 29, 2024, 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 ears other than as a result of the ownership of our shares of Common Stock or other securities.

The Selling Stockholders and any of their 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 Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (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 Selling Stockholders 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 Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders 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 Selling Stockholders 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 Selling Stockholders 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.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

  , 2024

 

The following is an estimate of the expenses (all of which are to be paid by the registrant) that we may incur in connection with the securities being registered hereby.

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.

Issuance of Common Stock to Non-employees: During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued 2,700 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 nine months and year ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

On September 15, 2024, the Company engaged in the Initial Private Placement, pursuant to which the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Investor, and agreed to (i) sell and issue to such stockholder the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Initial Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants.

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 Initial 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 Initial Investor Warrants have an exercise price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.575 per share. The Initial 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 Initial 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 Initial Investor Warrants until the date that is 6 months after the original issuance date of the Initial Investor Warrants.

In connection with the Initial 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 Initial 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, which are exercisable immediately. 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.

Secured Convertible Promissory Notes with Space Infrastructure Ventures, LLC and Related Transactions:

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 September 30, 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”) 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 $0.5292 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 up to 5,668,934 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.5292 per share (the “SIV Warrants”). 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, 2029.

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.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to

registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized on November 1, 2024.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, this registration statement has been signed below by the following persons in the capacities and on the dates indicated.
