LanzaTech expands board, appoints new director

In a recent shift of executive dynamics, LanzaTech Global, Inc., currently valued at $75 million, has increased its board size and appointed a new director. On Monday, the company’s Board of Directors announced the expansion from eight to nine members, welcoming Jill Frizzley as a Class III director. Her term will extend until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has declined over 88% in the past year, trading near its 52-week low of $0.36.

Frizzley brings a wealth of experience to the table, having been the president of Wildrose Partners LLC since June 2019. Her background includes serving as Counsel at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and holding director positions at several public companies, including Akoustis Technologies Inc (OTC:AKTSQ). since August 2024.

Her appointment comes with a compensation agreement that includes a fixed monthly cash fee of $40,000 and a $7,500 per diem for duties beyond regular board responsibilities. The board has confirmed Frizzley’s independence according to Nasdaq’s listing standards.

LanzaTech, traditionally focused on research and development, is transitioning to deploy its technology on a global scale. This strategic move includes streamlining operations and improving cost structures, exploring capital raising, partnerships, and other transactions. Rothschild & Co has been engaged as a financial advisor to aid in this process.

The company has also announced a delay in filing its annual report for the year ended 2024, attributing the postponement to the strategic measures consuming significant management time and resources. A Notification of Late Filing will be submitted, and the Form 10-K is expected to be filed within the extension period allowed. Consequently, LanzaTech will not hold its earnings conference call previously scheduled for March 31, 2025. With revenue of $58 million in the last twelve months and three analysts recently revising earnings estimates downward, investors seeking deeper insights into LanzaTech’s financial position can access comprehensive analysis through InvestingPro.

In other recent news, LanzaTech Global, Inc. has received a notice from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department regarding its stock price not meeting the minimum bid requirement. The company must ensure its stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days within a 180-day period ending on September 9, 2025, to regain compliance. Failure to meet these requirements could lead to potential delisting from Nasdaq, but LanzaTech is exploring options to address this issue. Additionally, LanzaTech has restructured its financial arrangement with Brookfield Asset Management Inc (NYSE:BAM)., transitioning from an equity agreement to a new loan agreement. The loan totals over $60 million, with an initial repayment due soon and the remainder by 2027, subject to certain conditions. This agreement includes restrictions on LanzaTech’s financial activities and allows Brookfield to appoint an observer to LanzaTech’s Board of Directors. The Framework Agreement between the two companies remains intact, reflecting their continued collaboration. These developments highlight LanzaTech’s ongoing efforts to manage its financial and operational strategies effectively.
