CORRESP 1 filename1.htm Momentus Inc. 3901 N. First Street San Jose, California October 2, 2025 Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance Office of Manufacturing Attn: Eranga Dias Asia Timmons-Pierce Re: Momentus Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1 Submitted September 15, 2025 File No. 333-290243 CIK No. 0001781162 Dear Mr. Dias and Ms. Timmons-Pierce: By your letter dated September 29, 2025 (the “ SEC Letter ”), the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Staff ”) provided comments to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “ S-1 ”), originally filed with the Staff on September 15, 2025, by Momentus Inc. (the “ Company ”). This letter sets forth the Company’s response with respect to the comments contained in the SEC Letter. For your convenience, we have set forth below the Staff’s comments in bold typeface followed by the Company’s response thereto. Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed September 15, 2025 General 1. Please provide your analysis regarding why the Initial Conversion Shares and Subsequent Conversion Shares are eligible to be registered at this time. Refer to Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 139.11 for guidance. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, we note that Question 139.11 of the Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (the “ Securities Act CDIs ”) provides that “a company will be permitted to register the resale of securities prior to their issuance if the company has completed a Section 4(2)-exempt sale of the securities (or in the case of convertible securities, of the convertible security itself) to the investor, and the investor is at market risk at the time of filing of the resale registration statement. The investor must be irrevocably bound to purchase a set number of securities for a set purchase price that is not based on market price or a fluctuating ratio, either at the time of effectiveness of the resale registration statement or at any subsequent date. When a company attempts to register for resale shares of common stock underlying unissued, convertible securities, the PIPE analysis applies to the convertible security, not to the underlying common stock. There can be no conditions to closing that are within an investor’s control or that an investor can cause not to be satisfied. For example, closing conditions in capital formation transactions relating to the market price of the company’s securities or the investor’s satisfactory completion of its due diligence on the company are unacceptable conditions. The closing of the private placement of the unissued securities must occur within a short time after the effectiveness of the resale registration statement.” Mr. Eranga Dias and Ms. Asia Timmons-Pierce Securities and Exchange Commission October 2, 2025 The following is the Company’s analysis that there was a completed private placement of the secured convertible promissory notes underlying the Initial Conversion Shares and the Subsequent Conversion Shares prior to the Company’s attempt to register the resale thereof, in accordance with the Staff’s guidance in Question 139.11 of the Securities Act CDIs: 1. On September 8, 2025, before the S-1 was filed, the Selling Stockholder and the Company executed a Note Amendment Agreement that provided for the following: (i) the amendment and restatement of a secured convertible promissory note originally issued on July 12, 2024 (the “ Initial Convertible Note ”); (ii) the amendment and restatement of a subsequent secured convertible promissory note originally issued on October 24, 2024 (the “ Subsequent Convertible Note ” and, together with the Initial Convertible Note, the “ Convertible Notes ”); (iii) the amendment of outstanding warrants to purchase approximately 463,223 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 (the “ Common Stock ”) issued on November 14, 2024 and December 9, 2024 (the “ Initial Warrants ”); and (iv) the issuance of additional warrants, on September 8, 2025, to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock accompanying certain amendments to the Convertible Notes (the “ Additional Warrants ” and, together with the Convertible Notes and the Initial Warrants, the “ Securities ”). 2. Therefore, the Securities had been issued to the Selling Stockholder in a completed private placement in reliance upon the Section 4(2) exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), prior to the filing of the S-1. 3. The purchase price for each of the Securities was established prior to the filing of the S-1. 4. Such purchase prices for the Securities were not contingent on the market price of the Company’s securities at the time of effectiveness of the S-1 or at any subsequent date, and therefore the Selling Stockholder was subject to market risk at the time of the filing of the S-1. 5. Under Question 139.11 of the Securities Act CDIs, when a company attempts to register for resale shares of common stock underlying unissued, convertible securities, the PIPE analysis applies to the convertible security (here, the Securities), not to the underlying common stock. Based upon the foregoing, the Company believes the requirements of Question 139.11 of the Securities Act CDIs have been satisfied to allow the S-1 to be filed for the resale of the shares of Common Stock registered thereunder by the Selling Stockholder. Mr. Eranga Dias and Ms. Asia Timmons-Pierce Securities and Exchange Commission October 2, 2025 If you have any further requirements, please contact the undersigned at (650) 564-7820 or jon.layman@momentus.space.

First Street San Jose, California June 17, 2025 Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance Office of Manufacturing Attn: Bradley Ecker Jennifer Angelini Re: Momentus Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1 Submitted June 2, 2025 File No. 333-287712 CIK No. 0001781162 Dear Mr. Ecker and Ms. Angelini: By your letter dated June 6, 2025 (the “ SEC Letter ”), the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “ Staff ”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) provided comments to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “ S-1 ”), originally filed with the Commission on June 2, 2025, by Momentus Inc. (the “ Company ”). Previously on June 10, 2025, the Company submitted a response to the SEC Letter to the Staff. Subsequent to submission of its response letter, a representative of the Company had a conference call with the Staff on June 11, 2025. Based on this conference call with the Staff, the Company is providing this letter to supplement its June 10, 2025 response. Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is also submitting to the Commission an Amendment No. 1 to the S-1 (“ Amendment No. 1 ”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Amendment No. 1. Amendment to Loan Agreement . On June 17, 2025, the Company and the Lender entered into an Amendment to the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.38 to Amendment No. 1, in order to, among other things, revise the Loan Agreement to obligate the Selling Stockholder to purchase the Additional Convertible Note conditioned only upon the effectiveness of the S-1 and other conditions outside of the control of the Selling Stockholder. A description of the conditions to the Selling Stockholder’s obligations to purchase the Additional Convertible Note pursuant to the Loan Agreement as amended by the Amendment has been added to pages 6 and 7 of Amendment No. 1. Mr. Bradley Ecker and Ms. Jennifer Angelini Securities and Exchange Commission June 17, 2025 The relevant provisions of the Amendment are as follows (a) The Amendment replaces the definition of “Additional Funding Date” in the Loan Agreement with the following revised definition: ““ Additional Funding Date ” shall mean the date of funding of the Additional Loan by the Lender and the Company’s issuance of the Additional Note, which funding shall be within three (3) Business Days following the Company’s Resale Registration Statement having been declared effective by the SEC and registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), but excluding the maximum number of Additional Make Whole Shares referred to and calculated in accordance with clause (iii) below, and the Maximum Conversion Shares (as defined in such Registration Rights Agreement), and subject to (a) the Company’s maintaining its listing on Nasdaq, and (b) as of the date of funding of the Additional Loan (i) the closing trading price with respect to the Company’s Common Stock as reported by the Trading Market on the trading day immediately prior to the date of Funding of the Additional Loan shall be not less than $1.25 per share, (ii) the market capitalization of the Company’s Common Stock shall be not less than $6,700,000, and (iii) the trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock as reported by the Trading Market for the trading day immediately preceding the Additional Funding Date and the average trading volume for the ten trading days immediately prior to the Additional Funding Date shall be not less than 50,000 shares of Common Stock.” (b) The Amendment also replaces Section 2.04(a) of the Loan Agreement with the following: “Section 2.04 Additional Funding Date . (a) On the Additional Funding Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents to be executed and delivered by the parties hereto and thereto, and further subject only to the Company meeting the minimum per share price, market capitalization and trading volume requirements with respect to the Common Stock that are set forth and specified in the definition of Additional Funding Date, the Lender shall make the Additional Loan of $750,000 less the Holdback Amount with respect to the Additional Note, and the Company hereby agrees to issue to the Lender the Additional Note in $1,012,500 Original Principal Amount and the Lender hereby agrees to accept from the Company the Additional Note.” 1. Registration of Default Conversion Shares . Amendment No. 1 removes from the S-1 the registration of the resale of 2,144,116 additional shares of Common Stock that the Company was previously required to register pursuant to a registration rights agreement between the Company and the Selling Stockholder. The Amendment to the Loan Agreement amends the registration rights agreement to provide the Company seven days after an event of default under the Convertible Notes, or, in the event of a failure to make certain required cash payments, within three business days, to register the resale of any such shares that may be issuable to the Selling Stockholder, assuming that the Selling Stockholder desires registration of the resale at such time.

CORRESP 1 filename1.htm Momentus Inc. 3901 N. First Street San Jose, California June 10, 2025 Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance Office of Manufacturing Attn: Bradley Ecker Jennifer Angelini Re: Momentus Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1 Submitted June 2, 2025 File No. 333-287712 CIK No. 0001781162 Dear Mr. Ecker and Ms. Angelini: By your letter dated June 6, 2025 (the “ SEC Letter ”), the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Staff ”) provided comments to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “ S-1 ”), originally filed with the Staff on June 2, 2025, by Momentus Inc. (the “ Company ”). This letter sets forth the Company’s response with respect to the comments contained in the SEC Letter. For your convenience, we have set forth below the Staff’s comments in bold typeface followed by the Company’s response thereto. Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed June 2, 2025 General 1. We note that you are seeking to register up to 4,288,232 shares of Common Stock that have not yet been issued to the Selling Stockholder. Please provide your analysis showing how you determined that there was a completed private placement prior to your attempt to register the resale of these shares. In your analysis, please consider the Commission’s guidance set forth in Questions 134.01 and 139.11 of the Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. Your response should separately address each of the shares identified in subparagraphs (i)-(iv) on the prospectus cover. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, we note that Question 134.01 of the Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (the “ Securities Act CDIs ”) provides that a “resale registration statement may be filed if securities are privately placed, with the closing of the private placement contingent on filing or effectiveness of a resale registration statement. At the time of filing the registration statement, the purchasers in the private placement must be irrevocably bound to purchase the securities subject only to the filing or effectiveness of the registration statement or other conditions outside their control, and the purchase price must be established at the time of the private placement. The purchase price cannot be contingent on the market price at the time of effectiveness of the registration statement.” Similarly, we note that Question 139.11 provides that “a company will be permitted to register the resale of securities prior to their issuance if the company has completed a Section 4(2)-exempt sale of the securities (or in the case of convertible securities, of the convertible security itself) to the investor, and the investor is at market risk at the time of filing of the resale registration statement. The investor must be irrevocably bound to purchase a set number of securities for a set purchase price that is not based on market price or a fluctuating ratio, either at the time of effectiveness of the resale registration statement or at any subsequent date. When a company attempts to register for resale shares of common stock underlying unissued, convertible securities, the PIPE analysis applies to the convertible security, not to the underlying common stock. There can be no conditions to closing that are within an investor’s control or that an investor can cause not to be satisfied. For example, closing conditions in capital formation transactions relating to the market price of the company’s securities or the investor’s satisfactory completion of its due diligence on the company are unacceptable conditions. The closing of the private placement of the unissued securities must occur within a short time after the effectiveness of the resale registration statement.” Mr. Bradley Ecker and Ms. Jennifer Angelini Securities and Exchange Commission June 10, 2025 The following is the Company’s analysis that there was a completed private placement prior to the Company’s attempt to register the resale of each of the shares identified in subparagraphs (i)-(iv) on the prospectus cover of the S-1 in accordance with the Staff’s guidance in Questions 134.01 and 139.11 of the Securities Act CDIs: 1. Before the S-1 was filed, the Selling Stockholder and the Company executed a loan agreement (the “ Loan Agreement ”). 2. The Loan Agreement provides for the issuance of each of the following securities to the Selling Stockholder in a private placement in reliance upon the Section 4(2) exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”): (i) an initial junior secured convertible note having an original principal amount of $1,012,500 (the “ Initial Convertible Note ”); (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 476,470 shares of the Company’s Common Stock accompanying the Initial Convertible Note (the “ Initial Warrant ”); (iii) an additional junior secured convertible note having an original principal amount of $1,012,500 (the “ Additional Convertible Note ”); and (iv) a warrant to purchase up to 476,470 shares of the Company’s Common Stock accompanying the Additional Convertible Note (the “ Additional Warrant ”). 3. The Loan Agreement that was executed prior to the filing of the S-1 established the purchase price for each of the Initial Convertible Note, the Initial Warrant, the Additional Convertible Note and the Additional Warrant. 4. Such purchase prices are not contingent on the market price of the Company’s securities at the time of effectiveness of the S-1 or at any subsequent date, and therefore the Selling Stockholder was subject to market risk at the time of the filing of the S-1. 5. With respect to each of the shares identified in subparagraphs (i)-(iv) on the prospectus cover of the S-1: (i) Initial Convertible Note : The 595,588 shares of Common Stock described in subparagraph (i) on the prospectus cover of the S-1 are issuable upon conversion of the Initial Convertible Note, which the Selling Stockholder was irrevocably bound to purchase under the Loan Agreement within three business days of the filing of the S-1, subject only to conditions outside the Selling Stockholder’s control. The Initial Convertible Note was subsequently issued to the Selling Stockholder by the Company on June 3, 2025, within three business days of the filing of the S-1. Mr. Bradley Ecker and Ms. Jennifer Angelini Securities and Exchange Commission June 10, 2025 (ii) Additional Convertible Note : The 595,588 shares of Common Stock described in subparagraph (ii) on the prospectus cover of the S-1 are issuable upon conversion of the Additional Convertible Note. The Company acknowledges that the obligation of the Selling Stockholder to purchase the Additional Convertible Note under the Loan Agreement, while contingent upon the effectiveness of the S-1, was also contingent upon the Company’s Common Stock meeting certain trading price, market capitalization and trading volume requirements that are “reasonably acceptable” to the Selling Stockholder ( see the definition of “Additional Funding Date” in the Loan Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.33 to the S-1 ). Because such condition is within the control of the Selling Stockholder, the Company proposes to enter into an amendment to the Loan Agreement with the Selling Stockholder prior to the effectiveness of the S-1 to remove the discretion of the Selling Stockholder to determine whether such conditions are “reasonably acceptable.” Instead, the amendment to the Loan Agreement will replace the discretionary conditions with conditions outside the Selling Stockholder’s control, as reflected in the following definition which would replace the current definition of “Additional Funding Date” in the Loan Agreement, with the blanks filled in to include numerical minimums (marked to show changes): “ Additional Funding Date ” shall mean the date of funding of the Additional Loan by the Lender and the Company’s issuance of the Additional Note, which funding shall (a) be three (3) Business Days following the Company’s Resale Registration Statement having been declared effective by the SEC and registering for resale 200% of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and (b) following receipt of a funding request by the Company subject to the Company’s maintaining its listing on Nasdaq , and meeting certain (c) as of the date of funding of the Additional Loan (i) the trading price , market capitalization and trading volume requirements that are reasonably acceptable to the Lender with respect to the Lender’s ability to resell the Registrable Securities; it being understood that the Lender intends to fund such Additional Loan, subject to the Company meeting the foregoing requirements. Company’s Common Stock shall be not less than $____ per share, (ii) the market capitalization of the Company’s Common Stock shall be not less than $_______, and (iii) the trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock as reported by the Trading Market for the trading day immediately preceding the Additional Funding Date shall be not less than ______ shares of Common Stock.” With the amendment to the definition of “Additional Funding Date”, the Selling Stockholder would be irrevocably bound to purchase the Additional Convertible Note under the Loan Agreement within three business days of the filing of the S-1 subject only to conditions outside the Selling Stockholder’s control, in accordance with the Staff’s guidance in Questions 134.01 and 139.11 of the Securities Act CDIs. (iii) Warrants : The 952,940 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain warrants described in subparagraph (iii) on the prospectus cover of the S-1 consist of (a) up to 476,470 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Initial Warrant and (b) up to 476,470 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Additional Warrant. Mr. Bradley Ecker and Ms. Jennifer Angelini Securities and Exchange Commission June 10, 2025 (a) Initial Warrant : As was the case with the Initial Convertible Note, the Selling Stockholder was irrevocably bound to purchase the Initial Warrant under the Loan Agreement in conjunction with the purchase of the Initial Convertible Note within three business days of the filing of the S-1, subject only to conditions outside the Selling Stockholder’s control. The Initial Warrant was subsequently issued to the Selling Stockholder by the Company on June 3, 2025, within three business days of the filing of the S-1. (b) Additional Warrant : The purchase of the Additional Warrant by the Selling Stockholder will occur in connection with the purchase of the Additional Convertible Note. As noted in paragraph 3.(ii) above, the Company and the Selling Stockholder have proposed an amendment to the Loan Agreement to be entered into prior to effectiveness of the S-1 that would remove the discretion of the Selling Stockholder with respect to conditions to purchase the Additional Warrant, and replace such conditions with conditions outside the Selling Stockholder’s control. With the amendment, the Selling Stockholder will be irrevocably bound to purchase the Additional Warrant under the Loan Agreement within three business days of the filing of the S-1 subject only to conditions outside the Selling Stockholder’s control, in accordance with the Staff’s guidance in Questions 134.01 and 139.11 of the Securities Act CDIs. (iv) Default Conversion Shares : The 2,144,116 shares of Common Stock described in subparagraph (iv) on the prospectus cover of the S-1 (the “ Default Conversion Shares ”) represents a good-faith estimate of the number of shares the Company may issue following an event of default on the Convertible Notes, as contemplated by Question 139.10 of the Securities Act CDIs. The Loan Agreement provides for an 80% discount to the conversion price applicable to the Convertible Notes upon an event of default. The actual number of additional shares that might be issued based upon this lower default conversion price is not currently known because it would depend on the remaining balances on the respective Convertible Notes at the time of the event of default. For example, over 4.4 million shares of Common Stock would be issued upon conversion of the full principal amount of the Convertible Notes at the default conversion price. In Question 139.10 of the Securities Act CDIs, the Staff provided that while a company cannot use Rule 416 to register an indeterminate number of shares resulting from the operation of a floating conversion rate because it is not “similar” to an anti-dilution provision, the Staff permitted the company to make a “good-faith estimate of the maximum number of shares that it may issue on conversion to determine the number of shares to register for resale.” With respect to the Default Conversion Shares described in the S-1, Momentus is not currently able to determine the exact number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes following an event of default because Momentus does not know whether or when an event of default may occur. The Company believes the 2,144,116 Default Conversion Shares represent a reasonable estimate of such additional shares, and notes that it represents less than 50% of the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Convertible Notes upon an event of default. Based upon the foregoing, the Company believes the requirements of Questions 134.01 and 139.11 of the Securities Act CDIs have been satisfied to allow the S-1 to be filed for the resale of the shares of Common Stock registered thereunder by the Selling Stockholder.

Ladies and

No. 3 to Form S-4
Q: How
will SRAC’s Sponsor, directors and officers vote?
Q: What
interests do the current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?, page
14
1. Comment:
Please expand to highlight the risk that the Sponsor and its affiliates, including certain of SRAC’s officers and directors, will
benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company
or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate. In this regard, we note the recent approval of Amendment No. 3 to the
Merger Agreement which includes a reduced the enterprise valuation of Momentus from $1.131 billion to $566.6 million.
Response: In response
to the Staff’s comment, the Company has added disclosure to pages 14, 15, 16 and 146 of the Amendment to further explain that the
Sponsor and SRAC’s directors and officers may have different (and potentially conflicting) interests in completing the Business
Combination than the public stockholders and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination rather than liquidate.

Inc., page 25
2. Comment: We note

satellites and hosted payloads between orbits in space “using an innovative water-based propulsion system (microwave electrothermal).”
Please expand this section to disclose the current status or stage of development of the water-based propulsion system, and the steps
needed in order for Momentus to realize its business model of offering in-space infrastructure services to customers.
Response: In response
to the Staff’s comment, the Company has added disclosure to pages 26, 27, 44, 49 and 150 and 197 of the Amendment to disclose the
current status of development of the water-based propulsion system and the steps needed to realize on Momentus’ business model.
National
Security Agreement, page 26
3.
Comment: In regards to the National Security Agreement, we note the following:
● The
Security Director will not be able to be removed without the approval of the CFIUS Monitoring
Agencies.
● The
Security Director will be endowed with unilateral authority to remove and replace Momentus
directors and officers, approve new Momentus directors, and review, approve and terminate
certain contracts and relationships related to access to technology and protected technical
information.
● The
charter and bylaws will not be able to be amended in regards to these arrangements without
approval of the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies.
● The
Security Director will have a fiduciary duty to each of the U.S. government and the combined
company and its shareholders.
Please
provide us with your legal analysis as to how these arrangements are permissible under Delaware law, in particular Section 141 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law. To the extent that there is uncertainty regarding their permissibility, please add risk factor disclosure
addressing the relevant risks. In addition, provide the form of the charter and bylaws reflecting these provisions.
Response: With respect to the arrangement
regarding removal of the Security Director without the approval of the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies, the Company respectfully notes for the
Staff that Section 102(b)(1) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) permits the inclusion in the certificate
of incorporation of “any provision for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the corporation”
if such provisions are not contrary to the laws of Delaware.
Section 141(a) of the DGCL also states that the “business
and affairs of every corporation…shall be managed by or under the direction of a board of directors, except as may be otherwise
provided in this chapter or in its certificate of incorporation [emphasis added].”
Thus, the Company and Momentus believe
there is statutory support which allows the introduction of outside parties to influence the management of the business and affairs of
the corporation, so long as this is provided in the certificate of incorporation. Since the provision stating that the Security Director
may not be removed without the approval of the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies will be included in the Company’s certificate of incorporation,
rather than in a separate contract, the Company and Momentus believe this arrangement is permissible under the DGCL. Notwithstanding this
belief, in accordance with the Staff’s comment and due to the potential uncertainty in light of the unusual arrangement, the Company
has added risk factor disclosure addressing the relevant risks on pages 53, 54 and 55 of the Amendment.
Securities and Exchange Commission
July 12, 2021
Page 3
With respect to the arrangement regarding
the Security Director’s unilateral authority to remove and replace Momentus directors (or, following the consummation of the Business
Combination, Company directors), the Company respectfully wishes to clarify that the Security Director will not have the unilateral authority
to remove and replace directors. Instead, pursuant to the National Security Agreement, if the Security Director recommends that a director
be removed from the board of directors due to an identified national security concern, as determined by the Security Director in consultation
with the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies, the board of directors is required to ask for the resignation of such director. If such director does
not resign, the board of directors is required to call a special meeting of stockholders, in compliance with the federal proxy rules (assuming
Momentus is then a public company, including following the Business Combination), to vote on the removal of such director. Any removal
of a director would therefore be approved by the stockholders and in accordance with the DGCL. The Company has revised the disclosures
on pages 53, 54 and 55 of the Amendment to clarify the director removal process under the National Security Agreement.
With respect to the arrangement regarding
the Security Director’s unilateral authority to approve new Momentus directors (or, following consummation of the Business Combination,
new Company directors), as disclosed on pages 54 and 55 of the Amendment, the Security Director will be a member of the nominating and
corporate governance committee. Any individual nominated by the board of directors to serve as a director after Momentus becomes a public
company (including following the Business Combination) will require at least a majority approval of the nominating and corporate governance
committee, which majority must include the Security Director. Pursuant to Section 141(c)(2) of the DGCL, the board of directors of a corporation
may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. Any such committee,
to the extent provided in the resolution of the board of directors, or in the bylaws of the corporation, shall have and may exercise all
the powers and authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, subject to certain
limitations which are not applicable here. The board of directors will delegate to the nominating and corporate governance committee the
power to nominate directors in accordance with the procedures set forth above. Therefore, the Company and Momentus believe this arrangement
is permissible under the DGCL.
With respect to the arrangement regarding
the Security Director’s unilateral authority to replace Momentus officers and employees (or, following the consummation of the Business
Combination, Company officers and employees) and review, approve and terminate certain contracts and relationships related to access to
technology and protected technical information, as disclosed on pages 54 and 55 of the Amendment, the board of directors will establish
a security committee comprised of one member who will be the Security Director. The security committee will be delegated the authority
to, among other things, terminate and appoint officers and employees and review, approve and terminate certain contracts and relationships
related to access to technology and protected technical information. As noted above, pursuant to Section 141(c)(2) of the DGCL, the board
of directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. Any such
committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the board of directors, or in the bylaws of the corporation, shall have and may
exercise all the powers and authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, subject
to certain limitations which are not applicable here. Therefore, the Company and Momentus believe the delegation of the powers and authority
described above to the security committee is permissible under the DGCL.
With respect to the arrangement prohibiting
amendments to the charter and bylaws relating to the Security Director without approval of the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies, as stated above,
the Company respectfully notes for the Staff that Section 102(b)(1) of the DGCL permits the inclusion in the certificate of incorporation
of “any provision for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the corporation” if such provisions
are not contrary to the laws of Delaware. Section 141(a) of the DGCL also states that the “business and affairs of every corporation…shall
be managed by or under the direction of a board of directors, except as may be otherwise provided in this chapter or in its certificate
of incorporation [emphasis added].” Since the Company is expressly including these prohibitions in the certificate of incorporation,
the Company and Momentus believe the provisions are permissible under the DGCL pursuant to the authority conferred by Sections 102(b)(1)
and 141(a) of the DGCL. Nevertheless, due to the potential uncertainty relating to these provisions in light of the unusual arrangement,
the Company has added risk factor disclosure addressing the relevant risks on pages 53 and 54 of the Amendment.
With respect to the arrangement establishing that the Security
Director will have a fiduciary duty to each of the U.S. government and the combined company and its shareholders, the Company respectfully
informs the Staff that the National Security Agreement requires that the Security Director, to the extent consistent with the Security
Director’s duties to Momentus and its stockholders under Delaware law, owes fiduciary duties to CFIUS. Therefore, the Security Director
has a fiduciary duty to the U.S. government only to the extent it is consistent with his or her fiduciary duty to Momentus and its stockholders
(or, following consummation of the Business Combination, the Company and its stockholders) under Delaware law. Therefore, the Company
and Momentus believe this arrangement is permissible under the DGCL. To the extent that the Security Director believes that a conflict
of interest is reasonably likely to exist between her or his fiduciary duties under Delaware law to Momentus and/or its stockholders (or,
following consummation of the Business Combination, to the Company and/or its stockholders) and to CFIUS, the Security Director is required
to promptly inform the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies of such conflict. In the event of such conflict, the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies could
seek to institute measures to resolve such conflict which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
The Company has filed, as Annex B to the proxy statement/consent
solicitation statement/prospectus included in the Amendment, the form of the Combined Company Amended and Restated Charter reflecting
the foregoing provisions. The foregoing provisions do not implicate the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws, which were
previously filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

SRAC's Board of Directors' Reasons for the Approval of the Third Amendment, page 131
16.We note that in approving the Third Amendment, one of the material factors the board

the Combined Company before and after the reduced valuation of Momentus pursuant to
the Third Amendment.

17.Please disclose the extent to which the SRAC board, in approving the Third Amendment,
considered Mr. Kokorich’s resignation and the technical knowledge and abilities of the
remaining members of Momentus. In this regard, we note the statements in prior filings
of this Form S-4 that “Momentus is highly dependent on Mikhail Kokorich, its co-founder
and chief executive officer. Mr. Kokorich invented the majority of Momentus’
inventions… The loss of Mr. Kokorich would adversely affect Momentus’ business
because his loss could make it more difficult to, among other things, compete with other
market participants and retain existing customers or cultivate new ones.”
Revised Forecasted Financial Information for Momentus, page 140
18.We note that the management of Momentus provided internally prepared forecasted
financial projections to SRAC, and the SRAC board of directors considered these
projections for each calendar year through 2027. Given that Momentus has earned limited
revenues to date, please expand to provide a basis for the projections. For example,
discuss the current state of development of Momentus’ critical technologies and the
additional steps and funding needed to “fully develop, test and validate [Momentus’]
technology in space, including its water plasma propulsion technology.” As another
example, discuss if true that these projections assume that your Ardoride and Fervoride
vehicles will enter commercial service by 2024 and 2026, that you will achieve reusability
in the 2025-2026 timeframe, and/or that you expect to begin providing Satellite as a
Service starting in 2023 on Vigoride vehicles and in 2025 on Ardoride vehicles. Discuss
the contingencies and obstacles to achieving these underlying assumptions and their
impact on your forecasted financial projections.
19.In light of recent challenges, provide disclosure describing the risk that the expectations of
future growth may be unrealistic or uncertain, given the assumptions as to future events,
and may have resulted in inflated valuation conclusions.

charter. Please expand to disclose how the NSA and the Security Director will affect the
provisions summarized herein. For example, with respect to the “Required Vote to
Remove Directors,” we note that removal of the Security Director would also require the
approval of the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies. We also note that Security Director has the
authority to remove and replace Momentus officers and directors, and to approve all new
Momentus directors. As another example, with respect to the “Required Vote to Amend
the Charter” and the “Required Vote to Amend the Bylaws,” we note that so long as there
shall be a Security Director on the Combined Company board, the provisions of the
proposed charter that shall be in effect as long as there shall be a Security Director on the
Combined Company board, and Section 2.2 (Election; Resignation; Removal; Vacancies)
of the proposed bylaws and the proposed charter shall not be amended except with the
approval of the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies.
