On November 21, 2023, Momentus Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $10,000,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). The Staff further indicated that, as of the date of the Notice, the Company did not comply with certain requirements under the alternative standards set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(b)(2) and 5450(b)(3) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

 

The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq, and the Company’s listing remains fully effective.

 

Under Nasdaq Rules, the Company has 45 calendar days, or until January 5, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”). If the Compliance Plan is accepted, Nasdaq can provide the Company an extension of up to 180 days from the date of notice to cure such listing deficiency. There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Compliance Plan, and if Nasdaq does not accept the Compliance Plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel which has the authority to grant the Company an additional extension of time of up to 180 calendar days to regain compliance.  If the Company fails to regain compliance with these requirements or to submit an acceptable Compliance Plan to Nasdaq within the time allotted, the Company will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

 

The Company intends to submit the Compliance Plan on or before January 5, 2024.

 

If the Common Stock ceases to be listed for trading on Nasdaq, the Company would expect that the Common Stock would be traded on one of the three tiered marketplaces of the OTC Markets Group.

 

Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This current report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Current Report, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s Compliance Plan, regaining with compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, Momentus’ or its management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, and 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,” “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 are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.

The Company’s filings may be accessed through the Investor Relations page of its website, investors.momentus.space, or through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and, except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
