In connection with the execution of the Sponsor PIPE Subscription Agreement, Legacy Mobix issued to the Sponsor a warrant to purchase 272,454 shares of Legacy Mobix common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, exercisable upon the closing of the Sponsor PIPE Subscription Agreement (the “Sponsor Warrant”). The Sponsor Warrant was exercised at the closing of the Sponsor PIPE Subscription Agreement and, following net settlement into 272,182 shares of Legacy Mobix common stock, converted into 272,182 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Closing.

On December 21, 2023, Chavant entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2021 between Chavant and certain advisors wherein the parties agreed to resolve their differences with respect to marketing fees contemplated by the agreement and the advisors agreed to receive, in lieu of any cash payment of fees or reimbursement of expenses, an aggregate of 280,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. Subsequent to the Closing, the number of shares the advisors received was adjusted through the issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock. See “Make-Whole Shares,” below.

 

Earnout Shares

 

In addition to the consideration paid at Closing, certain Legacy Mobix stockholders and certain holders of Legacy Mobix stock options (the “Earnout Recipients”) will be entitled to receive an additional aggregate 3,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable as earnout shares (the “Earnout Shares”) based on the achievement of trading price targets following the Closing and subject to the terms provided in the Business Combination Agreement. The Earnout Shares have a seven-year “Earnout Period,” commencing on the date that is the one year anniversary of the Closing, pursuant to which up to 1,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock will be distributed to the Earnout Recipients if the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $12.50 for any twenty trading days within a period of thirty consecutive trading days during the Earnout Period and an additional 1,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock will be distributed to the Earnout Recipients if the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $15.00 for any twenty trading days within a period of thirty consecutive trading days during the Earnout Period.

The Earnout Shares are accounted for as liability-classified instruments because the events that determine the number of Earnout Shares to which the Earnout Recipients will be entitled include events that are not solely indexed to the Company’s common stock. At the time of Closing, the Company estimated the aggregate fair value of its liability for the Earnout Shares using a Monte Carlo simulation model and recorded a liability of $33,559. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, none of the conditions for the issuance of any Earnout Shares had been achieved and the Company adjusted the carrying amount of the liability to its estimated fair value of $1,240 and $1,680, respectively. As a result of decreases in the fair value of the liability, which were primarily the result of decreases in the price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock subsequent to the Closing, the Company recognized non-cash gains of $440 and $31,879 for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included in “Change in fair value of earnout liability” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Make-Whole Shares

 

Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Sponsor PIPE Subscription Agreement and the Amendment to Business Combination Marketing Agreement described above, Chavant agreed to issue additional shares of its Class A Common Stock (the “Make-Whole Shares”) to the PIPE Investors, the Sponsor and certain advisors with respect to 2,454,737 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in the event that the VWAP per share of the Class A Common Stock during a specified period (the “Adjustment Period VWAP”) is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, the PIPE Investors were entitled to receive a number of Make-Whole Shares equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the PIPE Investor multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP and the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $7.00, the Adjustment Period VWAP was deemed to be $7.00. The adjustment period ended on August 30, 2024. The Company issued 1,052,029 shares of its Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors, the Sponsor and certain advisors in settlement of the liability for the Make-Whole Shares.

 

The Make-Whole Shares were accounted for as liability-classified instruments because the events that determine the number of Make-Whole Shares issuable include events that are not solely indexed to the Company’s common stock. At the time of Closing, the Company estimated the aggregate fair value of its liability for the Make-Whole Shares using a Monte Carlo simulation model and recorded a liability of $2,071. The fair value of the 1,052,029 shares of Class A Common Stock issued in settlement of the liability for the Make-Whole Shares was $1,241. As a result of the decrease in the fair value of the liability, the Company recorded a non-cash gain of $830 for the year ended September 30, 2024, which is included in “Change in fair value of PIPE make-whole liability” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

See Note 17, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on the Company’s measurements with respect to the financial instruments issued in connection with the foregoing agreements.

 

Legacy Mobix incurred $6,363 of transaction costs in connection with the Merger, which was determined to be a capital-raising transaction for Legacy Mobix. At the time of the Closing, the Company allocated this amount between the equity-classified instruments and liability-classified instruments, based on their relative fair values, and recorded the $2,354 of costs associated with equity-classified instruments as a reduction of additional paid-in capital and charged the remaining $4,009 of costs associated with liability-classified instruments to expense. The Company also recognized a liability for unpaid transaction costs of Chavant totaling $3,090, which the Company recorded as a reduction of the proceeds of the Merger at the time of the Closing.
