Current report

We may not be successful in scaling our cohort-based commercialization model, which remains central to our long-term strategy.

Current report

During 2025, we continued implementing strategic actions designed to streamline commercialization across our operational structure, enhance capital efficiency, and accelerate deployment of its platform technology. These actions reflect a continued shift away from one-off projects and toward greater execution consistency, capital discipline, and long-term revenue generation.

Current report

Under this cohort-based operating model, commercial projects are grouped into cohorts based on their stage of maturity, financing readiness, and offtake progress. Under this model, each cohort progresses through defined development stages—from early-stage services and engineering support to equipment deployment, licensing, and ultimately recurring revenue from product sales and potential carbon credits.

Current report

This model is intended to:

Current report

• Systematically de-risk execution by applying learnings from prior deployments;

Current report

• Align resources and capital allocation around milestone-based progression; and

Current report

• Build revenue visibility as projects advance toward operations.

Current report

A portion of anticipated near-term revenue remains linked to projects supported directly or indirectly by U.S. government programs, including those administered by the Department of Energy (“DOE”). Timing of certain project milestones is dependent on government funding processes and related approvals. Any delays in government funding, including those arising from administrative delays or federal budget disruptions, could result in the postponement of grant awards or cooperative agreements and financing bottlenecks for cost-share projects reliant on DOE commitments. Such delays could defer expected revenue recognition from project services, equipment sales, or offtake-linked products, particularly for projects in earlier cohorts where DOE involvement plays a key role.

Current report

While we continue to actively manage funding risk by pursuing diversified project funding sources, engaging private capital partners, and sequencing project cohorts to align with available capital, these efforts may not be successful, and prolonged government funding delays could negatively impact the timing of certain revenue streams and increase working capital pressure in the near term.

Current report

Scaling the cohort-based commercialization model remains central to our long-term strategy. Execution will depend on continued access to capital, disciplined project selection, and effective coordination across technical, regulatory, and financing workstreams.

Current report

LanzaJet is currently working with its investors, including the Company, and other counterparties to advance commissioning, ramp-up and sustained commercial operations at the Freedom Pines Biorefinery in Soperton, Georgia (the “Soperton facility”). In February 2026, LanzaJet announced the first close of an overall $135 million target equity investment round at a $650 million pre-money enterprise valuation and disclosed that the first close, together with a previously awarded grant from the UK Department for Transport’s Advanced Fuels Fund, provides LanzaJet with $47 million in capital. Furthermore, the Company is developing projects to construct and operate facilities that would use the LanzaJet process.

Current report

However, there is no guarantee that the Soperton facility will be completed and operated as planned or that third parties will adopt the LanzaJet process in their commercial facilities for the production of SAF. In addition, there is no assurance that LanzaJet will consummate additional closings of its current financing round or otherwise obtain sufficient capital to fund its operations and growth on acceptable terms, that the anticipated benefits of any tolling or similar arrangements will be realized (including continued secured feedstock supply and offtake), or that grants, incentives or other sources of capital will be available when needed. The failure of LanzaJet to successfully achieve sustained commercial operations at the Soperton facility, to obtain sufficient capital to fund its business plan, or of third parties to adopt the LanzaJet process in their commercial facilities could severely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Current report

As of February 11, 2026, we currently have an approximately 45.6% ownership interest on a fully diluted basis in LanzaJet and do not control LanzaJet. Although we have the right to nominate one of seven representatives to LanzaJet’s board of directors (subject to continued satisfaction of applicable ownership thresholds), we are not able to make decisions on behalf of LanzaJet without support from other directors and stockholders, and LanzaJet’s interests, strategic priorities and risk tolerance may diverge from ours. In addition, future issuances of equity or equity-linked securities by LanzaJet (including additional closings of its current financing round) could further dilute our ownership interest and reduce our influence. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Current report

Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments” for additional information regarding LanzaJet’s recent financing and related governance changes.

Current report

An extended U.S. Government shutdown could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Current report

A portion of our revenue is linked to projects supported directly or indirectly by U.S. government programs, including those administered by the Department of Energy (DOE). The U.S. continues to face a changing geopolitical environment, along with certain fiscal and economic challenges, and uncertainty exists regarding how future budget and program decisions will unfold. During periods of federal government shutdowns, many government agencies and contracting offices cease operations or operate at reduced capacity. These shutdowns may delay funding decisions, new contract awards, contract modifications, and may result in the suspension of ongoing work under existing contracts.

Current report

In the event of a prolonged federal government shutdown, we may experience delays in critical DOE-dependent project milestones. This could include:

Current report

•Postponed disbursement of grants or cooperative agreements;

Current report

•Slower progression through loan guarantee processes; and

Current report

•Financing bottlenecks for cost-share projects reliant on DOE commitments.

Current report

Such delays could shift expected revenue recognition from project services, equipment sales, or offtake-linked products, particularly for projects in earlier cohorts where DOE involvement plays a catalytic role.

Current report

Government shutdowns can also create uncertainty in federal budgeting and procurement priorities, which could reduce future opportunities for our products. We continue to actively manage this risk by seeking to diversify our project funding sources, engage private capital partners, and sequence project cohorts to mitigate dependency. Nonetheless, these efforts may not be successful, and prolonged government funding disruptions could negatively impact the timing of certain revenue streams and increase working capital pressure in the near term.

Current report

The timing and duration of any shutdown are unpredictable, and we cannot estimate the ultimate effect on our business. Any prolonged or repeated shutdowns could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and ability to execute our strategic objectives.

Current report

To address the bid price deficiency, on August 18, 2025, we effected the 1-for-100 Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares of our common stock outstanding to increase the per-share market price of our common stock. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments—Reverse Stock Split and Reduction in Authorized Shares” for additional information on the Reverse Stock Split. On September 3, 2025, we received confirmation from Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, the market price of our common stock may decline due to a variety of factors, and we may again fail to satisfy the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or other Nasdaq continued listing standards.

Current report

Our stockholders will experience substantial dilution as a result of the exercise of the PIPE Warrant and the consummation of any additional equity financing.

Current report

As of March 25, 2026, we had 10,089,163 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and a large number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance in connection with warrants, equity-based awards granted under the executive compensation plans of the Company. Concurrently with the January 2026 Financing and pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, we issued the PIPE Warrant to the Preferred Stockholder to purchase up to 7,800,000 shares of common stock, which PIPE Warrant is exercisable at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on December 31, 2026 (the “Expiration Time”), and, if unexercised, will be automatically exercised on a cashless (net‑share) basis immediately prior to the Expiration Time. The issuance of additional shares of common stock upon the exercise of the PIPE Warrant would increase the number of shares issued and outstanding as of March 25, 2026 by 77.3%, which would result in significant dilution for stockholders of their ownership and voting interests in the Company. Any additional equity financing we consummate would result in further dilution.

Current report

There has not been an active market for trading in our common stock, and the Preferred Stock Conversion and the January 2026 Financing have concentrated, and the exercise of the PIPE Warrant will concentrate, our share ownership and could further limit trading activity.

Current report

There currently is not an active market for trading in our common stock, which we believe is in part due to the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock Conversion, the January 2026 Financing and the issuance of the PIPE Warrant.

Current report

In addition, the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of the PIPE Warrant will further concentrate the ownership of our common stock will be concentrated in a limited number of holders. Assuming the full cashless exercise of the PIPE Warrant for shares of common stock, as of March 25, 2026, Khosla Ventures and its affiliates would beneficially own approximately 62.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock, which would represent the largest ownership position of the Company, the investors in the January 2026 Financing, together with Khosla Ventures and its affiliates, would collectively beneficially own approximately 88.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock. No other existing stockholder would beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock. To the extent that Khosla Ventures and its affiliates or any existing Company stockholder participates in any additional equity financing, their beneficial ownership would further increase. This concentration of share ownership could further limit trading activity in our common stock and make it more difficult for stockholders to sell their common stock at prevailing market prices or at all.

Current report

Khosla Ventures and its affiliates have significant influence over us, and their interests may conflict with those of our other stockholders in the future.

Current report

Khosla Ventures and its affiliates currently have the largest ownership position in the Company. See “—There has not been an active market for trading in our common stock, and the Preferred Stock Conversion and the January 2026 Financing have concentrated, and the exercise of the PIPE Warrant will concentrate, our share ownership and could further limit trading activity” above. As a result, and so long as they hold a significant amount of our voting power, Khosla Ventures and its affiliates will have significant influence over the outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of our directors, and thereby our corporate and management policies. In addition, Khosla Ventures and its affiliates may vote their shares in a manner that, in their judgment, could enhance their investment, but which may conflict with our interests or those of our other stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also delay or deter possible changes in control of the Company or deprive our other stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares of common stock as part of a sale of the Company, which may ultimately affect the market price of our common stock.

Current report

As part of AMCI’s initial public offering (“IPO”), AMCI issued warrants to third-party investors. Each public warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of

Current report

$1,150 per share (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, AMCI completed the private sale of warrants. Each private sale warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at $1,150 per share. Additionally, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, AMCI issued warrants for the settlement of a working capital loan. The working capital warrants have the same terms as the private sale of warrants issued at the IPO. Warrants sold in the private sale at the IPO and the warrants issued to convert the working capital loan are collectively referred to as the “IPO Private Placement Warrants”. The Company has 78,081 Public Warrants and 44,661 IPO Private Placement Warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2025.

Current report

Our Public Warrant Agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our Public Warrants, which could limit the ability of Public Warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our Company.

Current report

We have identified deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that constitute “material weaknesses” as defined in Regulation S-X. If we are unable to remediate these deficiencies, or if we identify material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations or prevent fraud.

Summary of Risk Factors

Previous report

An investment in shares of our common stock involves substantial risks and uncertainties that may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. Some of the more significant challenges and risks relating to an investment in our Company are summarized below. The following is only a summary of the principal risks that may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The following should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of the risk factors we face, which are set forth in Part I, “Item 1A- Risk Factors” in this Annual Report.

Previous report

•There is no assurance that the Take-Private Proposal will result in a definitive transaction.

Previous report

•Fluctuations in the prices of waste-based feedstocks used to manufacture the products produced using our process technologies, the price of fossil feedstocks relative to the price of our waste-based feedstocks, and the availability of the waste-based feedstocks may affect our or our industry partners’ cost structure, gross margin and ability to compete.

Previous report

•We may be unable to scale fast enough to reach profitability levels sufficient to generate a return on investment.

Previous report

•Waste-based and other feedstock may be used in alternative processes, restricting the addressable market for LanzaTech.

Previous report

•Market prices for more sustainable, waste-based products that our process technologies enable are subject to volatility and there is a limited referenceable market for such products.

Previous report

There is no assurance that the non-binding proposal from Carbon Direct Capital to take the Company private will result in a definitive transaction.

Previous report

We received a non-binding proposal on April 3, 2025, from Carbon Direct Capital offering to acquire all of the outstanding shares of our common stock for $0.02 per share (the “Take-Private Proposal”).

Previous report

The Strategic Committee is currently reviewing, evaluating and negotiating the Take-Private Proposal in consultation with the Company’s financial advisor and legal counsel. There is no guarantee that any proposal made by Carbon Direct Capital regarding a proposed transaction will be accepted by the Strategic Committee, that definitive documentation relating to any such transaction will be executed, or that a transaction will be consummated in accordance with that documentation, if at all. If we do not enter into the Take-Private Proposal, or if its terms are changed, it may impact our ability to execute on other strategic options, which would likely have an adverse effect on the market price of shares of our common stock.

Previous report

Additionally, the work required to support the exploration of a possible take-private transaction has diverted and is likely to continue to divert management’s time and attention, which may impact the day-to-day business of the Company and our results of operations.

Previous report

Pursuant to the LanzaJet Investment Agreement, described in more detail in the section entitled “Business — Key Collaboration Agreements — LanzaJet Agreements — LanzaJet Amended and Restated Investment Agreement,” Mitsui, Suncor Energy Inc. (“Suncor”), British Airways PLC, a subsidiary of International Consolidated Airlines Group (“British Airways”) and Shell Ventures LLC (“Shell”) have committed to invest in LanzaJet a total of up to $120 million in second tranche investments upon the achievement of certain development milestones relating to an initial demonstration facility located at the LanzaTech Freedom Pines Biorefinery in Soperton, Georgia (the “Soperton facility”). Pursuant to the LanzaJet Investment Agreement, $45 million has already been invested in setting up LanzaJet and in constructing the Soperton facility. Our partners have likewise agreed to determine the feasibility of developing additional potential facilities for the commercial scale production of alcohol-to-jet (“ATJ”) fuel.

Previous report

Although LanzaJet is currently working with the partners mentioned above to confirm project locations and solidify the appropriate project structures, and we are developing projects ourselves to construct and operate facilities that would use the LanzaJet process, there is no guarantee that these facilities will be completed or that third parties will adopt the LanzaJet process in their commercial facilities for the production of SAF. The failure of LanzaJet to complete its initial facility or of third parties to adopt the LanzaJet process in their commercial facilities could severely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Previous report

Furthermore, we currently have approximately a 36.33% voting interest (including in-substance common stock) in LanzaJet and are not able to make decisions on behalf of LanzaJet without support from other shareholders. We will remain a minority shareholder in LanzaJet unless we are issued additional shares pursuant to the LanzaJet Amended and Restated Investment Agreement upon the closing of at least two of the second tranche investments by any of Mitsui, Suncor, British Airways and Shell. The conditions for these second tranche investments include performance requirements at the Soperton facility, regulatory approvals, the negotiation of additional agreements and other conditions which are outside our control. These conditions have not been, and may never be, met. As such, we cannot guarantee when or whether we will become majority shareholders in, or exercise control over, LanzaJet at any time in the future.

Previous report

We will continue to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and will consider our available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the allotted compliance periods. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, be successful in any appeal we may undertake, or be able to maintain compliance with any of the other continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Previous report

On January 23, 2025, the Company issued 1,652,178 shares of common stock pursuant to a cashless exercise of all 2,010,000 FPA Warrants held by Vellar at a $0.30 per share exercise price.

Previous report

We and Legacy LanzaTech have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. While some of these material weaknesses have been remediated, they could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.

Previous report

Legacy LanzaTech has also identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. During 2022, Legacy LanzaTech restated its previously issued 2020 and 2021 financial statements. The restatement resulted from certain material weaknesses. For additional information on the restatement, see Note 2 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to Legacy LanzaTech’s 2020 and 2021 restated financial statements. LanzaTech has not sufficiently designed, documented and implemented formal accounting policies, processes, and controls at the entity level or over the process of the accounting for complex transactions under GAAP.

Previous report

We may not have the funds necessary to satisfy our future obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement (“FPA”).

Previous report

As discussed in Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources and Use of Capital” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, pursuant to the FPA, on the FPA Maturity Date the Company is obligated to pay to the Purchasers the Maturity Consideration, which may be paid in cash or in shares, the Share Consideration, and retain the Prepayment Amount (in each case as defined below). However, at the time, the Company may not have sufficient funds or be able to obtain financing from third parties to pay such amounts. The Company also may not have sufficient shares authorized to pay the Maturity Consideration in shares. Breach by the Company of any of these obligations could constitute an event of default under the FPA, which could subject the Company to financial exposure thereunder (including arising from potential indemnification claims by the Purchasers). In addition, future debt or other contractual agreements may contain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions that could be triggered if we defaulted on our obligations to the Purchasers. Any or all of these consequences could have material adverse consequences for us.
Reworded paragraphs (48)

Previous wording

The Company has recurring net losses and anticipates continuing to incur losses. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $43.5 million, short-term held-to-maturity debt investments of $12.4 million and accumulated deficit of $(969.6) million, along with cash outflows from operations of $(89.1) million and net loss of $(137.7) million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Based on our liquidity position as of December 31, 2024 and our current forecast of operating results and cash flows, we anticipate that we will not have sufficient resources to fund our cash obligations for the next 12 months following the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Management has concluded, and the report of our auditors included in this Annual Report reflects, that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to execute our business plan, raise significant amounts of additional capital and/or implement other strategic options. The Company is actively pursuing the above actions. However, because certain of the actions described above are subject to market and other conditions not within the Company’s control, management has concluded that these plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company ability to continue as a going concern.

Current wording

The Company has recurring net losses and anticipates continuing to incur losses. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.2 million, and accumulated deficit of $(1,018.6) million, along with cash outflows from operations of $(64.9) million and net loss of $(49.0) million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Based on our liquidity position as of December 31, 2025 and our current forecast of operating results and cash flows, we anticipate that we will not have sufficient resources to fund our cash obligations for the next 12 months following the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Previous wording

If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or part of their investment. Further, the perception that we may be unable to continue as a going concern may impede our ability to pursue strategic opportunities or operate our business due to concerns regarding our ability to fulfill our contractual or performance obligations. In addition, if there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Perceived uncertainties related to our ability to continue as a going concern and speculation regarding the status of the various strategic options that the Company is considering, including the Take-Private Proposal, could impact our ability to retain, attract, or strengthen our relationships with key personnel and other employees, and could impact our ability to retain, attract or strengthen our relationships with current and potential partners, which may cause them to terminate, or not renew or enter into, arrangements or projects with us.

•We will require substantial financing to fund our operations, which financing may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders, and which might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Current wording

We will require substantial financing to fund our operations which may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders, and which might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Previous wording

Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. We have historically funded our operations through the Business Combination, issuances of equity securities, debt financing, as well as from revenue generating activities with commercial and governmental entities. We cannot be certain when or if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fully fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business.

Previous wording

Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore, we are currently evaluating options to enhance our liquidity position with financing. Securing financing could require a substantial amount of time and attention from our management and may divert a disproportionate amount of its attention away from our business activities, which may adversely affect our ability to conduct our day-to-day operations and execute on our business initiatives. In addition, we cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Current wording

Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore, we are currently evaluating options to enhance our liquidity position with financing. Securing financing in sufficient amounts will require substantial time and attention from our management, which may adversely affect our ability to conduct our day-to-day operations and execute on our business initiatives. We may incur additional significant legal, accounting and advisory fees and other expenses, some of which may be incurred regardless of whether we successfully enter into any financing. Any such expenses will decrease the remaining cash available for use in our business. Additionally, securing financing will be dependent on a number of factors that may be beyond our control, including, among other things, market conditions and the interest of third-party investors. In addition, we cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Previous wording

If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we will have to reduce our operating or investing expenditures, which will cause a delay or reduction in our technology development and commercialization programs, and substantially impair our ability to generate revenues, meet our liquidity needs and continue operations. See “—There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern” above.

Current wording

If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we will have to reduce our operating or investing expenditures, which will cause a delay or reduction in our technology development and commercialization programs, and substantially impair our ability to generate revenues, meet our liquidity needs and continue operations, and holders of our common stock could lose all or a significant portion of their investment. See “—There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern” above.

Previous wording

We have not achieved operating profitability in any quarter since our formation. Our net losses after tax were approximately $137.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $134.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $969.6 million. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses until we can sufficiently scale our operations. We cannot guarantee when we will operate profitably, if ever. The profitability of products produced using our process technologies depends largely on manufacturing costs and the market prices of the products produced using our process technologies. In the case of the partners with which we have entered licensing agreements, the prices they are able to charge impact the royalty fees we derive from their revenues. We must sustain the relationships we have developed with our current partners and successfully establish relationships with new partners to which we can license our proprietary technologies or with whom we can co-develop plants, and we must continue to find ways to further enhance our technology platform and product portfolio. If we are unable to successfully take these steps, we may never operate profitably, and, even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase our profitability in the future.

Current wording

We have not achieved operating profitability in any quarter since our formation.

Previous wording

We may not be able to attract or retain qualified employees due to the intense competition for qualified personnel among technology-based businesses, or due to the scarcity of personnel with the qualifications or experience necessary for our business. Hiring, training and successfully integrating qualified personnel into our operations can be a lengthy and expensive process, and efforts to integrate such personnel may not be successful. The market for qualified personnel is very competitive because of the limited number of people available with the necessary technical skills and understanding of our technology, and given the number of companies in this industry seeking this type of personnel. If we are not able to attract, integrate and retain the necessary personnel to accomplish our business objectives and continue to compensate such individuals competitively, we may experience staffing constraints that will adversely affect our ability to support our internal research and development programs. In particular, our production process development, process engineering, research and development, and plant operations programs are dependent on our ability to attract, integrate and retain highly skilled scientific, technical and operational personnel. Competition for such personnel from numerous companies and academic and other research institutions may limit our ability to do so on acceptable terms, or at all. As we continue to expand our international operations, these personnel-related risks will increase and we will face additional geography-specific challenges, such as challenges hiring, training, and relocating employees to specific regions or countries and differing tax and regulatory regimes.

In particular, our production process development, process engineering, research and development, and plant operations programs are dependent on our ability to attract, integrate and retain highly skilled scientific, technical and operational personnel. Competition for such personnel from numerous companies and academic and other research institutions may limit our ability to do so on acceptable terms, or at all. As we continue to expand our operations, these personnel-related risks will increase and we will face additional geography-specific challenges, such as challenges hiring, training, and relocating employees to specific regions or countries and differing tax and regulatory regimes.

One of the most important of these programs is the Renewable Fuel Standard II (“RFS II”), a Federal law which requires that transportation fuels in the United States contain a minimum amount of renewable fuel. This program is administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). The EPA’s authority includes setting annual minimum aggregate levels of consumption in four “nested” renewable fuel categories, including categories in which our fuel competes (including advanced biofuel, biomass-based diesel and cellulosic biofuel). The parties obligated to comply with this renewable volume obligation (“RVO”), are petroleum refiners and petroleum fuel importers. The EPA has not approved LanzaTech-derived ethanol from industrial emissions as a Renewable Identification Number (“RIN”) generating fuel (i.e., a fuel that generates credits) under the RFS II program, putting our ethanol at a competitive disadvantage if sold into ground transportation.

On March 13, 2025 we received written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notifying us that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for our common stock had been below the $1.00 per share minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we will have 180 calendar days from receipt of such notice, or until September 9, 2025 (the “First Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period. If at any time before the First Compliance Date, the bid price of our common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, subject to the discretion of the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Staff. Nasdaq will provide us with written confirmation of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the matter will be closed. In the event we do not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the First Compliance Date, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and would need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. If it appears to the Nasdaq staff that we will not be able to cure the deficiency or if we are otherwise not eligible or fail to regain compliance during the second compliance during the second compliance period, Nasdaq will provide written notification to us that our common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, we may appeal any such delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel (the “Panel”). If we receive such a delisting notice, Nasdaq may not grant the our request for a hearing, or if Nasdaq grants our request for a hearing, the Panel may not grant our request for continued listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market pending compliance with all applicable listing criteria, including the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, or we may be unable to timely satisfy the terms of any extension that may be granted by the Panel.

We may also issue additional shares of common stock or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in the future in connection with, among other things, future acquisitions or repayment of outstanding indebtedness, without stockholder approval, in a number of circumstances.

Previous wording

The Public Warrants are identical to the Private Placement Warrants in material terms and provisions, except in certain circumstances, and are materially different from the LanzaTech warrants.

Current wording

The Public Warrants are identical to the IPO Private Placement Warrants in material terms and provisions, except in certain circumstances, and are materially different from the AM Warrant, the FPA Warrant and the PIPE Warrant.

Previous wording

The Public Warrants are identical to the Private Placement Warrants in material terms and provisions, except that the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the closing of the Business Combination (except in limited circumstances) and are not redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, they will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the closing of the business combination.

Current wording

The Public Warrants are identical to the IPO Private Placement Warrants in material terms and provisions, except that the IPO Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable by us so long as they are held by AMCI Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”) or its permitted transferees. If the IPO Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, they will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Previous wording

We may redeem the Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to holders of Public Warrants. We have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant, provided that the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period commencing once the Public Warrants become exercisable and ending three days before we send the notice of redemption to Public Warrant holders. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise the redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the warrants as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise the warrants. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force holders of the Public Warrants (i) to exercise their Public Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) to sell their Public Warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold their Public Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of their Public Warrants. As noted above, none of the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.
