CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated herein by reference contain certain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting our business will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward- looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the Risk Factors identified in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026.

Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the effect of all such risk 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. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

In light of these risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that the events or results suggested by the forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date made. Local Bounti undertakes no obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events, anticipated or unanticipated circumstances or otherwise.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business Description

Description of the Business

Local Bounti Corporation ("Local Bounti" or the "Company") was founded in August 2018 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Montana. The Company produces sustainably grown produce, focused primarily on living lettuce, salad kits, and loose leaf lettuce. The Company is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that utilizes patented Stack & Flow Technology®, which is a hybrid of vertical and hydroponic greenhouse farming, to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Through the Company's CEA process, its goal is to produce environmentally sustainable products in a manner that will increase harvest efficiency, limit water usage, and reduce the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the statements herein.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Annual Financial Statements") as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present its financial position as of March 31, 2026, its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and its stockholders' deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026 or any future period. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025 was derived from the Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $530.3 million and cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $18.8 million.

The Company’s operations and growth strategy require significant capital resources. Expected cash requirements over the next twelve months include operating expenses, capital expenditures, and debt service obligations, including the commencement of quarterly cash interest payments under the Cargill Financial Senior Facility beginning on April 1, 2027. Based on current interest rates, such quarterly interest payments are expected to approximate $1.5 million per quarter.

Management’s operating plan for the next twelve months contemplates continued growth in production volumes and revenues, improvements in operating performance and gross margins, and the pursuit of additional sources of liquidity and capital. These potential sources may include debt financings, equity issuances, amendments to existing financing arrangements, strategic commercial arrangements, including potential long-term customer supply or offtake agreements, and other financing or strategic transactions.

The Company’s ability to execute its operating plan and satisfy its liquidity needs will depend on a number of factors, including operating performance, market conditions, the timing and extent of revenue growth, and the availability of additional capital. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its operating plans or that additional financing or strategic transactions will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

There have been no new accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that are considered to be significant or potentially significant to the Company.

U.S. Bounti, LLC Convertible Notes and Warrants

2025 Convertible Note and Warrants

On August 1, 2025, the Company entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with U.S. Bounti, LLC, providing for the issuance of (i) a convertible note with an initial principal balance of $10.0 million (the "2025 Note") and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant (the "2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant") pursuant to which U.S. Bounti, LLC has the right to purchase and acquire 550,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share.

The 2025 Note bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per year, commencing on August 1, 2025 with a maturity date of August 1, 2030. Interest will accrue semi-annually on each June 30 and December 31, commencing December 31, 2025 (each, a "2025 Note PIK Interest Payment Due Date"), and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each 2025 Note PIK Interest Payment Due Date by automatically increasing the principal amount of the 2025 Note by the amount of such interest (with such increased amount thereafter accruing interest as well) on each 2025 Note PIK Interest Payment Due Date ("2025 Note PIK Interest"). From time to time after August 1, 2028, interest may be payable quarterly in arrears in cash on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, commencing December 31, 2028 (each, a "2025 Note Cash Interest Payment Due Date"), in each case, in an amount equal to interest accrued during the quarter ending on such 2025 Note Cash Interest Payment Due Date, so long as certain conditions are met, including receipt of the prior written approval of Cargill Financial, as sole lender under the Senior Facility, if the senior obligations thereunder have not been paid in full, as further set forth in the 2025 Note.

During the term of the 2025 Note, the 2025 Note will be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock from time to time at the option of U.S. Bounti, LLC, upon delivery on one or more occasions of a written notice to the Company electing to convert all or any portion of the 2025 Note Obligations Amount (as defined in the 2025 Note). The initial conversion price of the Note is $2.50 per share of the Company's common stock (the "2025 Note Conversion Price"). The 2025 Note Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends or distributions, recapitalizations or similar transactions. On August 1, 2029, 50% of the 2025 Note Obligations Amount will automatically convert into shares of the Company's common stock at the 2025 Note Conversion Price. The remaining 50% of the 2025 Note Obligations Amount will automatically convert into shares of the Company's common stock at the 2025 Note Conversion Price on the maturity date of the 2025 Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, 50% of the 2025 Note Obligations Amount may be payable in cash on August 1, 2029, with the remaining 50% of the 2025 Note Obligations Amount repaid in cash on the maturity date of the 2025 Note, so long as certain conditions are met as set forth in the 2025 Note, including receipt of the prior written approval of Cargill Financial, as sole lender under the Senior Facility, if the senior obligations thereunder have not been paid in full. Conversion of the full initial principal amount of the 2025 Note would result in the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of common stock if converted at $2.50 per share, which amount is subject to increase by any 2025 Note PIK Interest that is added to the outstanding principal under the terms of the 2025 Note. The 2025 Note is subordinated to obligations under the Company’s Senior Facility. The Company evaluated the conversion feature embedded in the 2025 Note and determined that bifurcation is not required. Although the conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative, it qualifies for the derivative scope exception because it is convertible into a fixed number of shares at a fixed conversion price and meets the other indexation guidance under ASC 815-40-15, and the conversion option is not precluded from equity classification. Accordingly, the conversion feature has not been separately accounted for as a derivative.

On October 14, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved, for purposes of complying with the rules of the NYSE, (i) the issuance of up to 5,131,871 shares of the Company's common stock upon the conversion of the 2025 Note, and (ii) the issuance of up to 550,000 shares of the Company's common stock underlying the 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant.

The Company determined that the 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant requires liability classification under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815 and will be remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in earnings. Due to certain provisions that could result in the issuance of additional shares upon settlement, the warrant instrument did not meet the fixed-for-fixed criteria necessary for the instrument to be classified and recorded within equity. As a result, the warrant is accounted for at fair value until settled through exercise or expiration and is classified as a derivative liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. The 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant's initial fair value of $1.5 million was recorded as a debt discount to the $10.0 million 2025 Note, and will be amortized to interest expense over the 5-year term of the 2025 Note using the effective interest method. See Note 7, Fair Value Measurements, for a discussion of the method used to determine the fair value of the 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant.

2026 Convertible Note and Warrants

On March 13, 2026, the Company entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with U.S. Bounti, LLC, providing for the issuance of (i) a convertible note with an initial principal balance of $15.0 million (the "2026 Note") and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant (the "2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant") pursuant to which U.S. Bounti, LLC has the right to purchase and acquire 5,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share.

The 2026 Note bears interest at a rate of 7.0% per year, commencing on March 13, 2026 with a maturity date of March 13, 2031. Interest will accrue semi-annually on each June 30 and December 31, commencing December 31, 2026 (each, a "2026 Note PIK Interest Payment Due Date"), and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each 2026 Note PIK Interest Payment Due Date by automatically increasing the principal amount of the 2026 Note by the amount of such interest (with such increased amount thereafter accruing interest as well) on each 2026 Note PIK Interest Payment Due Date ("2026 Note PIK Interest"). From time to time after March 13, 2029, interest may be payable quarterly in arrears in cash on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, commencing December 31, 2029 (each, a "2026 Note Cash Interest Payment Due Date"), in each case, in an amount equal to interest accrued during the quarter ending on such 2026 Note Cash Interest Payment Due Date, so long as certain conditions are met, including receipt of the prior written approval of Cargill Financial, as sole lender under the Senior Facility, if the senior obligations thereunder have not been paid in full, as further set forth in the 2026 Note.

During the term of the 2026 Note, the 2026 Note will be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock from time to time at the option of U.S. Bounti, LLC, upon delivery on one or more occasions of a written notice to the Company electing to convert all or any portion of the 2026 Note Obligations Amount (as defined in the 2026 Note). The initial conversion price of the 2026 Note is $2.50 per share of the Company's common stock (the "2026 Note Conversion Price"). The 2026 Note Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends or distributions, recapitalizations or similar transactions. On March 13, 2030, 50% of the 2026 Note Obligations Amount will automatically convert into shares of the Company's common stock at the 2026 Note Conversion Price. The remaining 50% of the 2026 Note Obligations Amount will automatically convert into shares of the Company's common stock at the 2026 Note Conversion Price on the maturity date of the 2026 Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, 50% of the 2026 Note Obligations Amount may be payable in cash on March 13, 2030, with the remaining 50% of the 2026 Note Obligations Amount repaid in cash on the maturity date of the 2026 Note, so long as certain conditions are met as set forth in the 2026 Note, including receipt of the prior written approval of Cargill Financial, as sole lender under the Senior Facility, if the senior obligations thereunder have not been paid in full.

Conversion of the full initial principal amount of the 2026 Note would result in the issuance of 6,000,000 shares of common stock if converted at $2.50 per share, which amount is subject to increase by any 2026 Note PIK Interest that is added to the outstanding principal under the terms of the 2026 Note. The 2026 Note is subordinated to obligations under the Company’s Senior Facility. The Company evaluated the conversion feature embedded in the 2026 Note and determined that bifurcation is not required. Although the conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative, it qualifies for the derivative scope exception because it is convertible into a fixed number of shares at a fixed conversion price and meets the other indexation guidance under ASC 815-40-15, and the conversion option is not precluded from equity classification. Accordingly, the conversion feature has not been separately accounted for as a derivative.

The Company determined that the 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant requires liability classification under ASC 815 and will be remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in earnings. Due to certain provisions that could result in the issuance of additional shares upon settlement, the warrant instrument did not meet the fixed-for-fixed criteria necessary for the instrument to be classified and recorded within equity. As a result, the warrant is accounted for at fair value until settled through exercise or expiration and is classified as a derivative liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. The 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant’s initial fair value of $6.0 million was recorded as a debt discount to the $15.0 million 2026 Note, and will be amortized to interest expense over the 5-year term of the 2026 Note using the effective interest method. See Note 7, Fair Value Measurements, for a discussion of the method used to determine the fair value of the 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant.

Cargill Senior Facility

Agreements with Cargill Financial

On September 3, 2021, Local Bounti Operating Company LLC and certain subsidiaries entered into a multiple-advance term loan credit agreement (the "Senior Credit Agreement" and "Senior Facility") and a subordinated credit agreement (the "Subordinated Credit Agreement" and "Subordinated Facility" and, together with the Senior Credit Agreement, the "Original Credit Agreements") with Cargill Financial.

As further described below, Local Bounti Operating Company LLC and certain subsidiaries entered into subsequent amendments to the Original Credit Agreements (as so amended, collectively referred to as the "Amended Credit Agreements"). Significant amendments to the Original Credit Agreements are further described below.

Eleventh Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement

On March 31, 2025, the Company, along with certain of its subsidiaries, entered into the Eleventh Amendment with Cargill Financial to further amend the Original Credit Agreements ("Amended Senior Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, (i) $139.0 million of loans outstanding under the Senior Facility, together with all accrued and unpaid interest was cancelled, and (ii) $58.0 million of loans outstanding under the Subordinated Credit Agreement, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, was cancelled, constituting all of the loans and interest outstanding under the Subordinated Credit Agreement. In accordance with the Eleventh Amendment, the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Senior Facility subsequent to the Eleventh Amendment was $312.0 million. Additionally, in connection with the Eleventh Amendment, the per share exercise price of the Original Warrants (as defined below in Note 7, Fair Value Measurements), was amended from $6.50 to $4.00 per share with an amended expiration date of March 31, 2033.

The Company concluded the Eleventh Amendment met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring as the Company was experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor granted a concession as a result of the reduction of principal, cancellation of accrued interest, modification of interest rates, and the extension of the maturity date under the Original Credit Agreements. Therefore, no gain was recognized on the cancellation of debt. Instead, $181.7 million of cancelled principal and $15.4 million of accrued interest, net of $29.0 million of unamortized debt discount remaining under the original Senior Facility, was recorded as a debt premium (representing the excess of the $480.0 million carrying amount of the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility prior to the restructuring over the new $312.0 million principal amount of the Senior Facility subsequent to the Eleventh Amendment) that is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the 10-year term of the Amended Senior Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

Twelfth Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Note with U.S. Bounti and the U.S. Bounti Warrant (each as defined below), on August 1, 2025, the Company also entered into a Twelfth Amendment to its Senior Credit Agreement with Cargill Financial, pursuant to which $10.0 million of outstanding loans under the Senior Facility were cancelled and discharged. Following the amendment, the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Senior Facility is $302.0 million.

The Company concluded the Twelfth Amendment met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring as the Company was experiencing financial difficulties and the creditor granted a concession as a result of the reduction of principal. Therefore, no gain was recognized on the cancellation of debt. Instead, $10.0 million of cancelled principal was recorded as a debt premium that will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the 10-year term of the Amended Senior Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

General Provisions of the Senior Facility

Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, interest on the Senior Facility will accrue at three-month SOFR plus 2.0%. On April 1, 2031, the interest rate will increase to three-month SOFR plus 6.0%. From January 1, 2027 to December 31, 2029, interest will accrue on $100 million of the Senior Facility and will be due and payable in cash starting the first business day after the close of each calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter commencing April 1, 2027, and continuing through December 31, 2029. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Facility in excess of $100 million will, at the Company’s option, either be paid in cash or paid in kind, beginning with the quarter commencing April 1, 2027, and continuing through December 31, 2029.

From January 1, 2030 to March 31, 2031, interest will accrue on up to $200 million of the Senior Facility and will be due and payable in cash starting the first business day after the close of each calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter commencing April 1, 2030, and continuing through March 31, 2031. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Facility in excess of $200 million will, at the Company's option, either be paid in cash or paid-in-kind, beginning with the quarter commencing April 1, 2027, and continuing through March 31, 2031.

At all times after April 1, 2031, interest shall be payable only in cash on the first business day after each calendar quarter ends. Additionally, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2027, 50% of the free cash flow generated in the preceding quarter must be used for principal repayment on a quarterly basis. The maturity date of the Senior Facility subsequent to the Eleventh Amendment is December 31, 2035.

The Amended Senior Credit Agreement includes affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, and other requirements and restrictions. The financial covenants under the Amended Senior Credit Agreement, as modified in connection with the 2026 Note and related consent from Cargill Financial, consist of the following:

•Minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio: Beginning June 30, 2027, the Company must maintain a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00, increasing to 1.25 to 1.00 on June 30, 2028, and thereafter.

•Minimum Liquidity: The Company is required to maintain minimum liquidity of $3.5 million through September 30, 2026 and $2.0 million thereafter.

•Minimum EBITDA: The Company must achieve minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $0 for the quarter ending March 31, 2027; $3.0 million for each of the quarters ending December 31, 2027 and March 31, 2028; and $7.0 million for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2028. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net loss before the impact of interest expense, depreciation, and amortization, and adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and certain other non-core items.

•Current Ratio: Starting June 30, 2027, the Company must maintain a minimum current ratio covenant of at least 1.00 to 1.00, increasing to 1.20 to 1.00 beginning June 30, 2028, and thereafter.

Cargill Financial Common Stock Purchase Warrant Amendment

In connection with the Eleventh Amendment, the Company entered into amendments for existing warrants held by Cargill Financial (the "Cargill Warrant Amendments") to amend (i) the Common Stock Purchase Warrant, dated March 28, 2023 (the "Cargill Base Warrant") and (ii) the Warrants to Purchase Common Stock, each issued November 21, 2021 (the "Cargill 2021 Warrants" and, together with the Base Warrant, the "Cargill Original Warrants"; the Cargill Original Warrants as amended, the "Cargill Amended Warrants") to (a) amend the exercise price for the Cargill Original Warrants from $6.50 to $4.00 per share of common stock, (b) extend the expiration date to eight years from the closing of the Eleventh Amendment, and (c) amend and restate the Cargill 2021 Warrants to be on the same form as the Cargill Base Warrant. The Cargill Original Warrants were issued by the Company to Cargill Financial to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,408,145 shares of common stock and the aggregate number of shares is the same for the Cargill Amended Warrants. The change in the per share exercise price did not affect the classification of the Cargill Original Warrants. Therefore, the change in fair value of the Cargill Original Warrants will continue to be remeasured each quarter until the instrument is settled or expires with changes in fair value recorded in "Change in fair value of warrant liabilities" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the Cargill Amended Warrants is determined using a Black-Scholes model. The following table presents changes in the Level 3 fair value measurement for the warrant liability on a recurring basis:


	March 31,
	2026
	(in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2025	$	10,096
Fair value measurement adjustments recognized through change in fair value of warrant liability	(4,979)
Balance as of March 31, 2026	$	5,117

The key inputs into the Black-Scholes model used to determine the fair value of the liability of the Cargill Amended Warrants were as follows at their measurement dates:

2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant

The 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant entitles the holder to purchase up to 550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits, or other corporate actions. The 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant is exercisable beginning on the date of issuance and expires on August 1, 2035. The Company concluded that the 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant should be classified as a derivative liability pursuant to ASC 815, as the instrument fails the indexation and equity classification guidance. As such, the 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant will be initially measured at fair value. The change in fair value will be remeasured each quarter until the instrument is settled or expires with changes in fair value recorded in "Change in fair value of warrant liabilities" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant is determined using a Black-Scholes model. The following table presents changes in the Level 3 fair value measurement for the warrant liability on a recurring basis:

2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant

The 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant entitles the holder to purchase up to 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits, or other corporate actions. The 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant is exercisable beginning on the date of issuance and expires on March 13, 2036. The Company concluded that the 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant should be classified as a derivative liability pursuant to ASC 815, as the instrument fails the indexation and equity classification guidance. As such, the 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant will be initially measured at fair value. The change in fair value will be remeasured each quarter until the instrument is settled or expires with changes in fair value recorded in "Change in fair value of warrant liabilities" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant is determined using a Black-Scholes model. The following table presents changes in the Level 3 fair value measurement for the warrant liability on a recurring basis:

Warrant life (years)	10.0		10.0
Dividend yield	—%		—%

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their respective fair values due to their short-term maturities. Therefore, no unrealized gains or losses were recorded during the periods presented. There were no transfers of financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the periods presented.

8. Stockholders' Deficit

Securities Purchase Agreement

On March 31, 2025, simultaneous with the Eleventh Amendment (see Note 6, Debt, for further information), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain investors (the "Investors") for a $25 million investment (the "PIPE Investment"). In connection with the PIPE Investment, the Company issued 1,771,586 shares of common stock (the "PIPE Common Stock"), $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,728,414 shares Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), $0.0001 par value per share (and together with the PIPE Common Stock (the "Securities")) at a purchase price of $2.00 per share (the "Purchase Price") to comply with NYSE stockholder approval rules. As required by the NYSE shareholder approval rules, the Series A Certificate of Designations limited the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock such that, when aggregated with the shares of PIPE Common Stock issued at closing, such issuances would not exceed 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock until the date stockholder approval was obtained. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted into one share of common stock without any action by the holders on the first trading day after the Company obtained stockholder approval, which the Company obtained at its June 11, 2025, Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Investors are subject to a 180-day lock-up period with respect to the Securities purchased in the PIPE Investment.

The Purchase Agreement included customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement were sold in private placements in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, without general solicitation, made only to and with accredited investors as defined in Regulation D. The transaction closed on March 31, 2025, following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Upon closing, the Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $24.5 million, net of offering expenses, which was allocated between the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock on a relative fair value basis resulting in $3.4 million of net proceeds from the sales of common stock and $21.1 million from the sale of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Securities sale for general corporate purposes.

The Series A Preferred Stock was initially classified in temporary equity on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as prior to its conversion to common stock it was contingently redeemable in cash at the original purchase price at the holder’s option upon the occurrence of events which were deemed outside of the Company’s control. In accordance with the accounting guidance for contingently redeemable equity instruments, the Company elected to record changes in redemption value immediately as the changes occur, and to adjust the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock to its redemption value at the end of each reporting period. At issuance, the Series A Preferred Stock had a relative fair value of $21.1 million. At the end of the reporting period on March 31, 2025, the redemption value of the Series A Preferred Stock was equal to the original purchase price of $2.00 per share, or $21.5 million. Consequently, the Company recognized a $0.4 million increase to the initial carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock and a decrease to additional paid in capital to reflect the Series A Preferred Stock at its

maximum redemption value. This increase to the carrying value is treated as a deemed dividend to the preferred stockholders and increases the net loss attributable to common stockholders and basic net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025. See Note 10, Net Loss Per Share, for further information.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company's Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the Company's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares issuable under the plan by an additional 2,473,042 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, that was approved by the Company's stockholders on, and which became effective as of, June 11, 2025.

Common Stock Listing

On February 5, 2026, the Company received a written notice (the "Notice") from the NYSE that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “Minimum Market Capitalization Standard”) because the Company's average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50 million and, at the same time, the Company's last reported stockholders' equity was less than $50 million. Subsequently, the Company submitted a plan setting forth the actions the Company is taking that are designed to regain compliance with the Minimum Market Capitalization Standard within nine months of receipt of the Notice (the "Market Capitalization Cure Period"). The Company's common stock continues to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the Market Capitalization Cure Period, subject to compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards and continued quarterly review by the NYSE of the Company's progress with respect to the plan. The Company can provide no assurances that it will be able to satisfy any of the steps outlined above and maintain the listing of the Company's common stock on the NYSE.

9. Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock Units

A summary of the restricted stock units ("RSUs") activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is as follows:


	Number of RSUs	Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Unvested and outstanding at December 31, 2025	2,865,075	$	2.70

Forfeited	(21,836)	$	3.49
Vested	(622,715)	$	2.93
Vested, unsettled	175,000	$	2.04
Unvested and outstanding at March 31, 2026	2,395,524	$	2.58

Total RSU expense, net of amounts capitalized, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the total compensation cost related to unvested RSUs not yet recognized is $4.0 million. Unvested RSU expense not yet recognized is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

10. Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including restricted stock awards and units, convertible preferred stock, and common stock warrants using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share because the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive. As such, the numerator and denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders is the same for all periods presented.

The Company follows the two-class method to compute net loss per share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to share in the earnings of the Company as if all income for the period had been distributed. The two-class method also requires losses for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities only if the participating securities are

contractually obligated to fund the losses of the issuing entity or the contractual redemption amount related to the participating securities is reduced as a result of losses incurred by the issuing entity. In computing net loss per share, the Company's unvested restricted common stock and warrants are not considered participating securities.

Net loss per share includes the 5,500,000 and 550,000 shares underlying the 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant and the 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant, respectively, which are both exercisable at $0.125 per share. Because the exercise price is nominal relative to the current market price of the Company's common shares, these shares are not considered contingently issuable and are therefore included in net loss per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company's net loss per share attributable to common stockholders:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2026		2025
	(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Net loss attributable to common stockholders		$	(12,718)	$	(38,078)
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted		24,125,745		8,808,574
Net loss per common share, basic and diluted		$	(0.53)	$	(4.32)

The following table discloses the securities that could potentially dilute basic net loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the impact would be anti-dilutive:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2026	2025
Warrants		6,241,475	6,241,475
U.S. Bounti LLC Convertible Notes		9,675,000	—
Period-end preferred shares on an if-converted basis		—	10,728,414
Restricted Stock		—	19,756

11. Segment Reporting

The Company has a single operating and reportable segment that derives its revenue from customers through the production and sale of agricultural produce, consisting primarily of grown living and loose leaf lettuce, arugula, cress, and salad kits. All of the Company's revenue is generated in the U.S., and the Company manages its business activities on a consolidated basis. The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources.

The CODM assesses segment performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss, which is also reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and net cash generated by or used in operating activities, which is also reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. Significant expenses reviewed by the CODM include those that are presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Segment operating results, including significant expenses regularly provided to the CODM, along with a reconciliation of segment operating loss to consolidated net loss, are as follows:

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company has and may become party to various legal proceedings and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management is currently not aware of any matters that it expects will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As discussed in more detail in the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," this discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Our Mission and Vision

Our mission is to revolutionize agriculture, ensuring accessibility to fresh, sustainable, locally grown produce to nourish communities everywhere for generations to come. Our vision is to reimagine freshness. We envision a future where transformative innovation and technology combine to enable us to locally grow produce with minimal food miles, ensuring the freshest and most sustainable offerings for communities everywhere. We believe that happy plants make happy taste buds, and we are committed to reimagining the standards of freshness. We also believe that local is the best kind of business, and we are committed to helping communities thrive for generations to come. We are committed to building empowered local teams. Together, we believe we are capable of extraordinary achievements in sustainable agriculture.

Company Overview

Local Bounti is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that produces sustainably grown produce, focused primarily on living and loose leaf lettuce. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Hamilton, Montana, Local Bounti utilizes its patented Stack & Flow Technology® to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Our proprietary process is a hybrid growing approach, utilizing vertical farming in early plant growth, followed by greenhouse farming for final grow out. We designed our Stack & Flow Technology to give our products exactly what they need at every step of their growth cycle. Our goal is to grow in an environmentally sustainable manner that not only increases harvest efficiency and enhances unit economics, but also limits water usage and reduces the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process. Controlling the environmental conditions in both the 'Stack' and 'Flow' components of our growing system helps to ensure healthy, nutritious, and consistent products that are non-genetically modified organisms ("non-GMO"). We use 90% less water, 90% less land, and significantly less pesticides and herbicides than traditional outdoor agriculture operations.

Our first facility in Hamilton, Montana (the "Montana Facility") commenced construction in 2019, reached commercial operation by the second half of 2020, and now acts as a corporate headquarters without active commercial operations. The Company is currently evaluating the future commercial use of its Montana facility because we no longer have additional capacity at other facilities. Management is exploring various utilization options, including supporting capacity needs within the Company’s existing network as well as potential third-party commercial arrangements. In 2022, we acquired California-based complementary greenhouse farming company Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which operated under the name Pete's (the "Pete's Acquisition"). Through the Pete's Acquisition, we significantly increased our growing footprint to include two then-existing facilities in California and one under-construction facility in Georgia. The Georgia facility became operational in July 2022 and was significantly expanded in 2023. In 2024, we completed construction of two new facilities in Washington and Texas.

We distribute our products to approximately 13,000 retail locations across 35 U.S. states, primarily through direct relationships with blue-chip retail customers, including Albertsons, Sam's Club, Kroger, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, Brookshire's, and H-E-B. Our primary products include living butter lettuce – for which we are a leading provider with an approximate 80% share of the CEA market within the Western U.S. – as well as packaged leafy greens and cress. Our leafy greens consist of ready-to-eat blends, value add salad kits, and specialty greens like arugula.

We intend to continue to increase our production capacity and expand our reach to new markets, new geographies, and new customers through building of new facilities, the expansion of existing facilities, or the acquisition of existing greenhouse facilities, which we would evaluate to update with our Stack & Flow Technology. We conduct an ongoing build-versus-buy analysis whenever we decide to build a new facility or acquire an existing facility. We also continue to explore expanding our product offerings to new varieties of fresh greens, herbs, berries, and other produce. Additionally, we evaluate commercial opportunities as part of these expansion efforts on an ongoing basis.

Product Development

Our launch of our family-sized 10-ounce Romano Caesar Salad Kit in the Pacific Northwest continues to build momentum with consumers at retail. After realizing a 75% increase in its baseline velocity (units sold per store per week) during the fourth quarter of 2025, we were awarded an additional distribution center with a national retailer in the first quarter of 2026 that is set to launch in May of 2026.

We continue to pursue growth of our Arugula offering following its successful launch at both our Pasco, WA and Mount Pleasant, TX facilities in 2025. Conventional arugula is often unreliable and insufficient and is a category that we believe we can continue to address through leveraging our baby leaf capabilities.

Distribution

We currently service approximately 13,000 retail doors and expanded our retail presence in select southern markets with a new national retailer in the fourth quarter of 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, we secured and launched programs with two additional accounts, including a large premier retail customer covering more than 250 stores with a six SKU rollout, and a large regional retailer. Our quarterly sales to a major e-commerce and direct-to-consumer customer continue to perform strongly following significant growth during 2025.

We continue to benefit from strong demand and ongoing support from our long-standing customer base. In the first and early second quarter of 2026, we were awarded bids that extend supply programs with multiple national retail accounts through the first quarter of 2027. These commitments span several of our key product lines, including baby leaf lettuce and organic butter lettuce. The awards underscore the strength of our relationships with blue-chip retail partners and reflect those customers’ continued confidence in our ability to deliver consistent, high-quality products over the long term.

Commercial Facilities Update

Yield Enhancement

We continue to advance our yield improvement and cost reduction initiatives across our facility network. Tower upgrades were completed at our Georgia, Texas and Washington facilities during the fourth quarter of 2025, which resulted in enhanced production efficiency and an approximate 10% increase in run-rate yield capacity to reach the highest yields in our history.

We are also making select investments in our California facilities to improve operational efficiency, which we believe can improve yields by as much as 20%, resulting in increased throughput and enhanced margins.

Capacity Expansion Project

Plans remain in place to build additional capacity across our network of facilities enabled with our patented Stack & Flow Technology®. The expansions are designed to provide additional capacity and allow for our growing product assortment to meet existing demand from our direct relationships with blue-chip retailers and distributors. The timing and scope of these projects, including plans to expand into the Midwest, remain under review pending ongoing discussions with retailers to optimize those facilities for specific products in support of retail commitments and strategies to expand distribution.

Intellectual Property

In February 2026, we were issued U.S. Patent No. 12,557,741, titled "Optimizing Growing Process in a Hybrid Growing Environment Using Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence." The patent covers our proprietary methods for using computer vision, machine learning, and automated environmental controls to optimize plant growth across our hybrid vertical and greenhouse growing phases. This is a significant milestone that strengthens the competitive moat around our patented Stack & Flow Technology platform and underscores our technology leadership in controlled environment agriculture. We have been deploying these capabilities across our Stack & Flow

Technology–enabled facilities with tangible results, using AI-driven analysis of plant growth and environmental data to drive improved consistency and yield.

Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We have expended, and we expect to continue to expend, substantial resources as we:

•Standardize operating and manufacturing processes across our facilities, including increased expenses associated with growing operations;

•Identify and invest in future growth opportunities, including new product lines;

•Invest in product innovation and development; and

•Invest in sales and marketing efforts to increase brand awareness, engage customers, and drive sales of our products

The following sections discuss and analyze the changes in the significant line items in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the comparative periods in the table above.

Sales

We derive our revenue from the sale of produce grown at our five facilities. Sales increased by $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was due to increased production and growth in sales from our facilities in Georgia, Texas and Washington.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold is the direct cost of growing produce for sale at our greenhouse facilities, including labor costs, which consists of wages, salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, seeds, soil, nutrients and other input supplies, packaging materials, depreciation, utilities, and other manufacturing overhead. As we scale our business, we expect the cost of goods sold to decrease over time as a percentage of sales.

Cost of goods sold increased by $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was due to production ramp-up at our facilities in Georgia, Texas and Washington.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses primarily consist of costs associated with the ongoing development, improvement, testing, alteration, and refinement of our product offerings, production lines, manufacturing processes, growing techniques, and post-harvest packaging methods. Our research and development efforts focus on enhancing each facility’s indoor environmental controls, growing recipes, and refining Stack & Flow Technology processes, all aimed at meeting facility design and production yield specifications. Additionally, we also focus on the development of new leafy green product offerings, value-added products such as Grab & Go Salads, and new crops, including arugula and berries.

Research and development costs decreased by $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the maturation of our production, harvesting, and post-harvest packaging initiatives. As testing and refinement of our commercial-scale Stack & Flow Technology and related production processes at the Washington, Texas, and Georgia facilities progressed toward operational deployment, associated development activities declined.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist of employee compensation, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for our sales and marketing teams, transportation and delivery costs, marketing, and advertising, among others.

Sales and marketing costs increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is driven primarily by an increase of $0.1 million in transportation and delivery costs as a result of increased shipments of produce driven by an increase in sales.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of employee compensation, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation for our executive, legal, finance, information technology, and human resources teams, expenses for third-party professional services, insurance, computer hardware and software, and amortization of intangible assets, among others.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by a decrease of $1.1 million in salaries, benefits, and payroll-related expenses and a decrease of $0.2 million in insurance expense, which was partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in professional fees primarily related to litigation and financing activities. The remaining difference is due to individually immaterial differences.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

The change in fair value of warrant liabilities reflects mark-to-market adjustments related to our outstanding warrants, including the Cargill Amended Warrants, the 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant, and the 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant issued in connection with our convertible note financing.

During the comparative periods, fluctuations in fair value were driven primarily by (i) amendments to the Cargill Amended Warrants, including reductions in exercise price and extensions of contractual lives pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment to our credit agreement, (ii) the issuance of the 2026 U.S. Bounti Warrant and the 2025 U.S. Bounti Warrant, and (iii) changes in key valuation inputs, most notably our stock price at each reporting date. As a result of these factors, the Company recognized a net gain of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a loss of $3.5 million in the prior-year period.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense consists primarily of contractual interest and amortization of debt issuance costs, net of interest capitalized for construction assets, related to the loans with Cargill Financial, interest recognized per the terms of our financing obligation related to the Montana Facility and the California Facilities, and the interest on the U.S. Bounti, LLC convertible notes. We capitalize interest costs on borrowings during the construction period of major construction projects as part of the cost of the constructed assets.

Interest expense, net decreased by $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the principal amount outstanding under the Senior Facility as well as a reduction in the overall interest rate as a result of the Eleventh Amendment, which decreased interest expense by $15.0 million, net of interest capitalized, over the prior year period. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million of interest expensed related to our three financing obligations related to sale leaseback transactions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since our inception. At March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $530.3 million and cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $18.8 million.

As of March 31, 2026, the principal amount due under our credit facility with Cargill Financial totaled $302.8 million, none of which is classified as current. In addition, the Company has outstanding convertible notes for $25.0 million to U.S. Bounti, LLC, none of which is classified as current. The debt agreements with Cargill Financial contain various financial and non-financial covenants and certain restrictions on our business, which include restrictions on additional indebtedness, minimum liquidity and other financial covenants, and material adverse effects that could cause us to be at risk of default. A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of these debt instruments, including any failure to make payments when required, would generally result in events of default under such instruments, which could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of such indebtedness.

The CEA business is capital-intensive. Currently, our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash on hand and cash flows generated from the sale of our products. Cash expenditures over the next 12 months are expected to include general operating costs for employee wages and related benefits, outside services for legal, accounting, IT infrastructure, and costs associated with growing, harvesting, and selling our products, such as the purchase of seeds, soil, nutrients, and other growing supplies, shipping and fulfillment costs, and facility maintenance costs. Also, we are scheduled to begin making quarterly cash interest payments on April 1, 2027 on the first $100 million principal balance of the Cargill Senior Facility (as discussed further in the Cargill Loans section below). The cash interest payments are estimated to be approximately $1.5 million each quarter through January 2, 2030, based on the current three-month SOFR rate plus the application margin.

We also believe additional cash can be secured through other debt, equity financings, or sale leaseback financing, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to us should we need it or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory to us and not dilutive to existing shareholders. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition, and results of consolidated operations.

Cargill Loans

As of March 31, 2026, a total of $302.8 million of principal was outstanding on the Senior Facility. The Senior Facility is included in "Long-term debt, net" on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Eleventh Amendment, as described in Note 6, Debt, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, resulted in a lower principal balance and a reduced interest rate. In addition, a debt premium recorded in connection with the amendment will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the 10-year term of the Amended Senior Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

From January 1, 2027 to December 31, 2029, interest will accrue on $100 million of the Senior Facility and will be due and payable in cash starting the first business day after the close of each calendar quarter, beginning with the quarter commencing April 1, 2027, and continuing through December 31, 2029. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Facility in excess of $100 million will, at the Company’s option, either be paid in cash or paid in kind, beginning with the quarter commencing April 1, 2027, and continuing through December 31, 2029. As no interest payments are due in the next twelve months, the accrued interest has been classified within "Accrued interest, noncurrent" on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At all times after April 1, 2031, interest shall be payable only in cash on the first business day after each calendar quarter end. Additionally, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2027, 50% of the free cash flow (as defined in the Eleventh Amendment) generated in the preceding quarter must be used for principal repayment on a quarterly basis. The maturity date of the Senior Facility subsequent to the Eleventh Amendment is December 31, 2035.

U.S. Bounti, LLC Convertible Notes

On August 1, 2025, the Company entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with U.S. Bounti, LLC, providing for the issuance of (i) a convertible note with an initial principal balance of $10.0 million (the “2025 Note”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share. The 2025 Note has a maturity date of August 1, 2030 and bears interest at a rate of 6.0% per year, with interest added to the outstanding principal balance semi-annually through the end of 2028.

On March 13, 2026, the Company entered into an additional Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with U.S. Bounti, LLC, providing for the issuance of (i) a convertible note with an initial principal balance of $15.0 million (the “2026 Note”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per share. The 2026 Note has a maturity date of March 13, 2031 and bears interest at a rate of 7.0% per year, with interest added to the outstanding principal balance semi-annually.

The 2025 Note and the 2026 Note are each convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.50 per share. Conversion of the full initial principal amounts of the 2025 Note and 2026 Note would result in the issuance of approximately 4.0 million and 6.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, in each case subject to increase for any accrued payment-in-kind interest. Each of the 2025 Note and 2026 Note includes automatic conversion features, pursuant to which 50% of the outstanding principal balance converts into shares of common stock on the fourth anniversary of issuance, with the remaining balance converting at maturity, unless certain conditions are met that permit repayment in cash. Both notes are subordinated to obligations under the Company’s Senior Facility.

From time to time after August 1, 2028 for the 2025 Note and March 13, 2029 for the 2026 Note, interest may be payable quarterly in arrears in cash, subject to certain conditions. As no interest payments are required within the next twelve months under either the 2025 Note or the 2026 Note, accrued interest has been classified within “Accrued interest, noncurrent” on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Financing Obligations

We have three financing obligations related to sale leaseback transactions that did not qualify for sales treatment of the underlying assets. The following table summarizes future aggregate financing obligation payments by fiscal year:

This was partially offset by non-cash activities of $5.6 million in depreciation and amortization expense, $1.0 million in stock-based compensation expense, net of amounts capitalized, $0.1 million in amortization of debt issuance costs, and $7.2 million net increase of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to a net loss of $37.7 million. This was partially offset by non-cash activities of $15.3 million in paid-in-kind interest, a non-cash loss of $3.5 million related to change in fair value of warrant liabilities, $5.0 million in depreciation expense, $0.9 million in amortization expense, and $2.1 million in amortization of debt issuance costs.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, due primarily to purchases of construction materials and services, equipment, and other items for the Washington and Texas facilities.
