CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by LanzaTech Global, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, contains statements that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. This includes, without limitation, statements regarding the financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “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. When we discuss our strategies or plans, we are making projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to, LanzaTech’s management.

Forward-looking statements may include, for example, statements about:

•our anticipated growth rate and market opportunities;

•the potential liquidity and trading of our securities;

•our ability to resolve material litigation proceedings in our favor;

▪our ability to raise substantial additional financing to fund our operations and complete the development and commercialization of our process technologies;

•our assessment of the competitive landscape;

•our ability to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our business;

•our ability to enter into, successfully maintain and manage relationships with industry partners;

•the availability of governmental programs designed to incentivize the production and consumption of low-carbon fuels and carbon capture and utilization;

•our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights;

•our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel and to manage our growth effectively;

•our future financial performance, growth, costs and expenses, availability of resources and capital requirements;

•our ability to increase our revenue from engineering services, sales of equipment packages and sales of CarbonSmart products and to improve our operating results;

•our ability to increase our ownership stake in LanzaJet, Inc. (“LanzaJet”) through the sublicensing of LanzaJet’s technology;

•our ability to collaborate with our partners and progress projects into the construction phase; and

•our ability to implement and maintain effective internal controls.

We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report.

These forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the risk factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in other documents that we file or furnish from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Moreover, we operate in a competitive industry, and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for the management of LanzaTech to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all 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 we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
