Note 8 Mezzanine Equity and Shareholders’ Deficit

Significant changes in the Company’s mezzanine equity and shareholders’ deficit during the periods presented were as follows:

Common Stock

Subsequent to the Tailwind Two Merger, the Company is authorized to issue up to 300 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Each share of common stock entitles the shareholder to one vote.

The Company issued 11 million shares of common stock in exchange for the net assets of Tailwind Two, which were recognized at historical cost, in connection with the Tailwind Two Merger and issued 5.1 million shares of common stock in connection with the PIPE Investment. The Tailwind Two Merger and PIPE Investment resulted in allocated cash proceeds of $58.4 million with aggregate allocated third-party issuance costs of $48.4 million and the assumption of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants with an aggregate fair value of $13.1 million.

PredaSAR Merger

In March 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with non-controlling interest holders of convertible preferred stock in PredaSAR Corporation (“PredaSAR”) (the “Series Seed Preferred Stock”) to exchange all of the shares of the Series Seed Preferred Stock for shares of the Legacy Terran Orbital’s common stock (the “PredaSAR Merger”). The PredaSAR Merger resulted in the issuance of 10.7 million shares of common stock.

The PredaSAR Merger resulted in PredaSAR becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legacy Terran Orbital. Accordingly, non-controlling interest was reclassified to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The issuance costs related to the PredaSAR Merger totaled $432 thousand and were recognized in additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and as financing cash flows in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Committed Equity Facility

On July 5, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Committed Equity Facility”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”). Pursuant to the Committed Equity Facility, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, subject to certain conditions, to sell to B. Riley over a 24-month period up to the lesser of (i) $100 million of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) 27,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represents approximately 19.99% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding

immediately prior to the execution of the Committed Equity Facility, unless the Company obtains shareholder approval to issue excess shares. In addition, the Company may not issue or sell any shares of common stock to B. Riley under the Committed Equity Facility that would result in B. Riley and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on July 8, 2022, registering the resale by B. Riley of up to 27,714,791 shares of common stock to be issued by the Company to B. Riley pursuant to the Committed Equity Facility. Such resale registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on July 15, 2022.

The price per share of common stock sold by the Company to B. Riley is determined by reference to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock as defined within the Committed Equity Facility less a 3% discount, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The total net proceeds that the Company will receive under the Committed Equity Facility will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells common stock to B. Riley. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Committed Equity Facility for investment in growth and general corporate purposes.

The Committed Equity Facility represents a derivative instrument with a fair value of $0. Upon the sale and issuance of common stock under the Committed Equity Facility, the Company records the fair value of the common stock in additional paid-in capital and the difference in relation to the proceeds received to other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as well as other non-cash operating cash flows in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, third-party costs incurred in connection with the Committed Equity Facility are expensed as incurred and included in other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold and issued 637,487 shares of common stock to B. Riley under the Committed Equity Facility, including 214,791 shares issued on July 5, 2022 as consideration for B. Riley’s commitment to enter into the Committed Equity Facility, resulting in proceeds received of $1.8 million and $1 million of other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In addition, the Company expensed third-party costs associated with the Committed Equity Facility of approximately $380 thousand and $773 thousand during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, the remaining availability under the Committed Equity Facility was the lesser of 27,077,304 shares of common stock or $98.2 million of proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock.

Preferred Stock

Subsequent to the Tailwind Two Merger, the Company is authorized to issue up to 50 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. There were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2022.

As part of the Tailwind Two Merger, all of the convertible preferred stock of Legacy Terran Orbital (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) was ultimately converted into approximately 10.9 million shares of Terran Orbital Corporation’s common stock. As a result of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company reclassified the amount of Series A Preferred Stock to additional paid-in capital.
