Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On October 7, 2020, Stable Road Acquisition Corp. (“Stable Road” or “Parent”) announced a proposed business combination (the “Proposed Transaction”) with Momentus Inc. (“Momentus” or the “Company”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 7, 2020, as amended on March 5, 2021, April 6, 2021 and June 29, 2021 (as it may be further amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Stable Road, Momentus, Project Marvel First Merger Sub, Inc. and Project Marvel Second Merger Sub, LLC.

 

On November 2, 2020, Stable Road filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 that included a proxy statement of Stable Road, a consent solicitation statement of Momentus and prospectus of Stable Road. Stable Road filed with the SEC an amended Registration Statement on Form S-4 on each of December 14, 2020, March 8, 2021, June 29, 2021, July 12, 2021, July 19, 2021 and July 21, 2021 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on July 22, 2021. On July 23, 2021, Stable Road filed with the SEC a definitive proxy statement and final prospectus of Stable Road (the “Proxy Statement”), as supplemented by the Supplemental Disclosures to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on August 5, 2021 (the “First Supplement”).

 

This supplement, dated August 5, 2021, supplements the Proxy Statement, as supplemented by the First Supplement, to reflect, among other matters:

 

the appointment of John C. Rood as Chief Executive Officer on August 1, 2021;

 

the position change of Dawn Harms to Chief Revenue Officer, effective as of August 1, 2021;

 

the appointment of Victorino Mercado on July 26, 2021 to the Momentus board of directors, as the chairperson of the security committee of the board of directors and as Momentus’ Security Director; Mr. Mercado will also serve as the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Combined Company Board effective as of the closing of the Business Combination; and

 

updates to the anticipated non-employee director compensation policy to be adopted by the Combined Company Board to reflect payments to the disclosure committee, increased compensation values and clarification to the transitional equity grants.

 

Supplemental Disclosures to the Proxy Statement

 

The following supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, as supplemented by the First Supplement, which should each be read in their entirety. All page references are to pages in the Proxy Statement, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

 

The Proxy Statement (which includes a consent solicitation of Momentus) is hereby revised globally to reflect the following:

 

Interests of the Momentus Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

 

The above section of the Proxy Statement is supplemented with the following:

 

New Equity Awards to Executive Officers

 

In addition, under the terms of Dawn Harms’ amended and restated offer letter, subject to approval of the Combined Company Board and contingent on the closing of the Business Combination, Momentus has also agreed to grant Ms. Harms an award of restricted stock units denominated in Combined Company Class A common stock or restricted shares of Combined Company Class A common stock (in the sole discretion of the Combined Company Board) with a grant date fair value of $1,625,000.

Momentus has also entered into an employment agreement with our new Chief Executive Officer John Rood, pursuant to which Momentus has agreed, subject to approval of the Combined Company Board and contingent on the closing of the Business Combination, to grant Mr. Rood restricted stock units denominated in Combined Company Class A common stock with a grant date fair value of $10,000,000. Furthermore, if the (i) closing of the Business Combination occurs and (ii) the Federal Aviation Administration issues Momentus licenses to launch, in each case, on or before December 31, 2021, Mr. Rood’s 2021 annual cash incentive bonus award will be payable at 100% of his prorated actual base salary earned in 2021 (which is currently $800,000 per year).

 

Non-Employee Director Compensation

 

Pursuant to the terms of the offer letter by and between Momentus and Mr. Victorino Mercado, for his service in the roles of Security Director and chairperson of the security committee of the board of directors of Momentus, Mr. Mercado will receive an annual cash retainer of $50,000, payable quarterly in arrears and pro-rated for partial quarters of service. In addition, for the first three (3) months of his service in those roles (which may be extended if warranted by the initial duties), Mr. Mercado is also entitled to a monthly cash retainer of $20,834.

 

In addition, under the terms of the non-employee director compensation policy, which will be adopted and become effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, Victorino Mercado will receive a cash retainer and an equity award for his service as a non-employee member of the Combined Company Board and as chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

 

Specifically, Mr. Mercado will receive total annual cash retainers in the amount of $115,000 ($100,000 for service as a member of the Combined Company Board and $15,000 as chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Combined Company Board) and a grant of restricted stock units denominated in Combined Company Class A common stock with a grant date fair value currently estimated to be $537,500 ((i) $350,000 plus (ii) $250,000 multiplied by the number of full months expected between the closing of the Business Combination and June 1, 2022 divided by 12, which is currently estimated to be $187,500).

Executive Compensation Arrangements — Pre-Closing Agreements

 

The above section of the Proxy Statement is supplemented with the following:

 

John Rood Employment Agreement

 

On August 1, 2021, Momentus entered into an employment agreement with our new Chief Executive Officer, John Rood, pursuant to which Mr. Rood is entitled to an annual base salary of $800,000 per year and an annual target cash incentive bonus, which shall be up to $800,000 in 2021, based upon the achievement of certain objective or subjective criteria determined by the Momentus board of directors and pro-rated based on actual salary earned in 2021. As described above, Momentus has agreed, subject to approval of the Combined Company Board, to grant Mr. Rood RSUs having a grant date fair value of $10,000,000. The RSU award will be immediately vested as to 6.25% of the total number of RSUs on its grant date and will vest as to 18.75% of the total number of RSUs upon August 1, 2022, the first anniversary of his start date, and as to 25% of the total number of RSUs on August 1, 2023, August 1, 2024 and August 1, 2025, the second, third and fourth anniversaries of his start date, subject to his continued employment.

For calendar years thereafter, her base salary and annual cash bonus opportunity target and amounts will be determined by the Momentus board of directors or compensation committee of the board of directors.

The Proxy Statement is supplemented by adding the following new section under Executive Compensation Arrangements – Pre-Closing Agreements:

Dawn Harms

Post-Closing Employment Agreements

 

The above section of the Proxy Statement is supplemented with the following:

 

Mr. Rood will continue to be employed by the Combined Company under the terms of his employment agreement with Momentus.

 

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

 

The above section of the Proxy Statement is revised and replaced in its entirety with the below:

 

Director Compensation Policy

 

In connection with the Business Combination, the Combined Company Board will adopt a new non-employee director compensation policy to govern the Combined Company Board effective as of the Closing. The new policy is designed to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors by providing competitive compensation and align their interests with the interests of stockholders through equity awards. It will cover the compensation of all roles on the Combined Company Board other than the Security Director and the chairperson of the security committee.

 

Specifically, the new policy provides for the following annual cash retainers, which will be payable quarterly in arrears and pro-rated for partial quarters of service:

 

Annual Board Member Service Retainer

 

All Outside Directors: $100,000

 

Outside Director serving as Chairperson: $60,000 (in addition to above)

Chairperson of the Compensation Committee: $22,500

 

Chairperson of the Disclosure Committee: $22,500

Non-employee directors will receive RSU grants under the Combined Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan on and after the Combined Company’s 2022 annual stockholder meeting, annually and upon the beginning of service, which will vest, subject to continuous service through the applicable vesting date:

 

RSUs initially valued at $350,000 upon initial election or appointment to the Combined Company Board, which will vest in three equal annual installments from the date of grant; and

 

Additional RSUs initially valued at $250,000 annually, which will vest upon the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the day before the next annual stockholder meeting, prorated for partial years of service (including the initial year of service).

 

5

 

 

Transitional Equity Grants

 

Prior to the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, in lieu of the RSU grants described above, non-employee directors will receive transitional RSU grants upon the following terms under the Combined Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, which will vest, subject to continuous service through the applicable vesting date:

 

Non-employee directors who serve on or after the Closing (but before the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders) will be granted RSUs initially valued at $350,000, which will vest in three equal annual installments from the date of Closing.

 

Non-employee directors who serve on or after the Closing will be granted RSUs initially valued at $250,000 multiplied by the number of whole months that the non-employee director will have served from period beginning on the Closing and ending June 1, 2022, divided by 12, which is currently estimated to be $187,500. The RSUs will vest upon the earlier to occur of June 1, 2022 and the day before the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Accelerated Vesting

 

The vesting of the RSU grants will accelerate in full if the non-employee director remains in continuous service until immediately prior to such director’s: (i) death, (ii) “disability” or (iii) the closing of a “change in control” (as “disability” and “change in control” are defined in the Combined Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan).

 

Other Terms

 

To avoid adverse tax consequences to non-employee directors who reside outside of the U.S., the Combined Company Board, in its sole discretion, may provide for non-statutory stock options of equal value in lieu of RSU grants, which will have a term of ten years from the date of grant and an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the fair market value of the underlying Combined Company Class A common stock on the date of grant. All other terms and conditions that apply to RSU grants under the non-employee director compensation policy will apply to such options.

 

If permitted by the Combined Company, a non-employee director may elect to defer cash retainers and/or RSU awards prior to being earned into deferred stock units of the Company, which shall settle upon the earlier to occur of the director’s “separation from service” as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 409A or the date determined by the Combined Company.

 

The Company will reimburse each non-employee director for ordinary, necessary and reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses to cover in-person attendance at, and participation in, board of directors and committee meetings, provided they are reimbursed in accordance with the Combined Company’s travel and expense policy.

 

Security Director and Chairperson of Security Committee

 

In addition to compensation under the non-employee director compensation policy, Victorino Mercado, as the Security Director and the chairperson of the security committee of the board of directors of Momentus will receive additional compensation pursuant to the terms of his offer letter. Mr. Mercado will receive an annual cash retainer of $50,000, payable quarterly in arrears and pro-rated for partial quarters of service. In addition, for the first three months of his service in those roles (which may be extended if warranted by the initial duties), Mr. Mercado is also entitled to a monthly cash retainer of $20,834.

Management After the Business Combination

 

The information under “Non-Employee Directors” under “Management After the Business Combination” is supplemented by adding the following information for Victorino Mercado:

 

Victorino G. Mercado, 60, was appointed to the Momentus board on July 26, 2021 after approval by CFIUS in accordance with the NSA. Mr. Mercado is expected to be appointed by the Combined Company board to continue as the Security Director of Combined Company as a Class III director whose term will expire at the Combined Company’s annual meeting in 2024.

 

Victorino G. Mercado. Mr. Mercado has served as a member of the Board of Directors of Momentus since July 26, 2021. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Mercado will continue to serve on Combined Company board. From July 2019 to January 2021 Mr. Mercado served as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy, Plans, and Capabilities, after being confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Prior to this, Mr. Mercado served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Plans and Posture from January 2019. From May 1983 to November 2018, Mr. Mercado served in various positions in the U.S. Navy and retired as a two-star Admiral. He held a number of senior operational and staff positions, including Director, Maritime Operations of the U.S. Pacific Fleet; Director, Assessments Division in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations; and Commander, Carrier Strike Group Eight. One of Mr. Mercado’s shore tours was with the Navy’s engineering and acquisition community as the command, control, communications and intelligence warfare systems engineering manager for the AEGIS Program Manager. Mr. Mercado holds a B.S. in Mathematics/Computer Science from the U.S. Naval Academy and an M.S. in Systems Technology in Joint Command, Control and Communications from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. We believe Mr. Mercado is qualified to serve on the Combined Company board because his in-depth experience in security matters will be instrumental in providing oversight of compliance with the security-related requirements under the NSA and in building a robust security compliance program.

 

The information under “Corporate Governance – Committees of the Combined Company Board of Directors” under “Management After the Business Combination” is supplemented by adding the following after the current paragraph:

 

“In addition to the above-referenced committees, the Board will have a security committee and a disclosure committee.”

 

The information under “Corporate Governance” under “Management After the Business Combination” is further supplemented by adding the following after “Security Committee”:

 

Disclosure Committee

 

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the board of the Combined Company will determine the members and the chairperson of the Combined Company’s disclosure committee. The disclosure committee will be overseen by the audit committee and will be responsible for, among other things:

 

Coordinating and overseeing the formulation, documentation and evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures;

 

Periodically reviewing and assessing the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure policy and guidelines, including without limitation the Company’s policies regarding public disclosure of material nonpublic information; and

 

Reviewing drafts of the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and annual reports to stockholders, and, as it determines to be appropriate, such other disclosure documents (whether in the form of SEC filings, press releases or other public communications).
