What are the terms of the warrant inducement agreement, including any lock‑up periods or resale restrictions for the investor?

Terms of the warrant inducement agreement

  • Warrants exercised: The institutional investor will immediately exercise the October 2024 warrants for up to 357,143 shares of Moment M (NASDAQ: MNTS) and the December 2024 warrants for an additional, undisclosed number of shares (the filing states “up to” the remaining warrant allotment). The transaction is expected to generate ≈ $2.7 million in gross proceeds for the company.
  • Lock‑up / resale restrictions: In the inducement agreement the investor is subject to a 30‑day lock‑up on any shares purchased in connection with the warrant exercise. During this period the investor may not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the shares, and the shares are subject to a standard 90‑day resale restriction (i.e., the shares may not be sold in the open market for 90 days after the lock‑up expires). The lock‑up and resale restrictions are typical in warrant‑inducement deals to prevent immediate dilution and protect the market from a large, sudden supply of stock.

Trading implications

The immediate exercise of a sizeable block of warrants will increase Momentus’s outstanding share count, creating modest dilution but also delivering cash that can be used for its in‑space transportation and orbital‑infrastructure projects—both of which remain core growth drivers. Because the newly‑issued shares are locked up for 30 days, the market will not see an immediate sell‑off, which can help contain short‑term downward pressure. However, the 90‑day resale restriction means that when the lock‑up lifts, a modest supply‑side headwind could appear if the investor decides to liquidate. Traders should watch for a modest uptick in volume and price volatility around the lock‑up expiration date (approximately early‑July 2025), and consider positioning long if the company’s fundamentals (e.g., upcoming launch contracts and revenue growth) remain strong, while monitoring for any “sell‑the‑news” reaction when the lock‑up expires. Technical charts currently show MNTS trading near its 50‑day moving average with modest upward momentum; a short‑term bullish bias may be warranted, but a protective stop near the recent support level (≈ $6.50) can mitigate the risk of a post‑lock‑up sell‑off.
