Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On October 7, 2020, Stable Road Acquisition Corp. (the “Parent”) announced a proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) between Parent and Momentus Inc. (the “Company”). On May 10, 2021, Momentus received a letter from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) denying Momentus’ application for a payload review based on the FAA’s finding that its launch would jeopardize U.S. national security. According to the letter, during an interagency consultation, the FAA was informed that the launch of Momentus’ payload poses national security concerns associated with Momentus’ current corporate structure. The letter further states that the FAA understands that Momentus is undergoing a process that may resolve the national security concerns, and that the FAA can reconsider a payload application when that process has been completed. The payload review relates to Momentus’ planned mission in June 2021 on a SpaceX rocket. As a result, Parent expects that Momentus will not be able to fly its inaugural mission as planned on the June 2021 launch and will be required to remanifest Vigoride 1 and Vigoride 2 to a later launch.

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain a number of “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements about the expected timing of the completion of the proposed business combination, information concerning Parent or the Company’s projected future results of operations, revenues, business strategies, and the expected timing of Momentus Inc.’s first mission. These forward-looking statements are based on Parent’s or the Company’s management’s current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events.

These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors include, but are not limited to: changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals (including licenses) are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of Parent or the Company is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the Company including estimated revenues; risks related to the ability of customers to cancel contracts for convenience; risks related to the rollout of the Company’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of competition on the Company’s future business; level of product service or product or launch failures that could lead customers to use competitors’ services; developments and changes in laws and regulations, including increased regulation of the space transportation industry; the impact of significant investigative, regulatory or legal proceedings; the amount of redemption requests made by Parent’s public stockholders; the ability of Parent or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Parent. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
