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.

Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures we make in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated in this prospectus by reference. This summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to you and your investment decision. Therefore, before making your investment decision, you should carefully read this prospectus together with the additional information described under the headings “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.”
Unless the context otherwise indicates, references in this prospectus to “Local Bounti,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer, collectively, to Local Bounti Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Overview
Local Bounti is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that produces sustainably grown produce, focused primarily on living and loose leaf lettuce, arugula, spinach, and basil. 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 and reached full commercial operation by the second half of 2020. 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 initially became operational in July 2022 and was significantly expanded in 2023. In 2024 we completed construction of two new facilities in Washington and Texas, bringing our total facility count to six.
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, H-E-B, Sprouts, and AmazonFresh. 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. We recently introduced new Grab & Go Salads and additions to our baby leaf portfolio with several high-velocity offerings, including Spinach, Arugula, and Basil. In addition, we introduced 50/50 blend and power greens in the third quarter of 2024. We signed an offtake agreement with Sam's Club in October 2022 for our leafy greens production initially from our Georgia facility and now including both our Georgia and Texas facilities. The offtake agreement provides for the sale of defined minimum quantities of leafy greens from our Georgia and Texas facilities and runs through September 2028.
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.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth
4


companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparability of our financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection with our Business Combination, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.
Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, which allows us to take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements, including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of the shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30 and our annual revenue exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year or (ii) the market value of the shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, the shares of Private Placement Common Stock, the shares of Other Common Stock, and the Convertible Shares. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders may sell their securities by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
through brokers, dealers or agents;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares or warrants as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of NYSE;
through trading plans entered into by a selling stockholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;
short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

In addition, any securities that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may set the price or prices of their securities at:
fixed prices;
varying prices determined at the time of sale;
9


market prices prevailing at the time of any sale under this registration statement;
prices related to market prices; or
negotiated prices.
In connection with distributions of the securities or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also sell the securities short and redeliver the securities to close out such short positions.
The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The selling stockholders may also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders may elect to make an in-kind distribution of Common Stock to their members, partners or shareholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners or shareholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners or shareholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of Common Stock pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement.
The selling stockholders may also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution may effect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by the selling stockholders or borrowed from the selling stockholders or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from the selling stockholders in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. In addition, the selling stockholders may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer their economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Certain agents, underwriters and dealers, and their associates and affiliates, may be customers of, have borrowing relationships with, engage in other transactions with, or perform services, including investment banking services, for
10


us or one or more of our respective affiliates and/or the selling stockholders or one or more of their respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.
Any selling stockholder that is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. As a result, any profits derived by such selling stockholder on the sale of securities included in this prospectus and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by it may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act will be subject to prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Such selling stockholders may also be subject to certain statutory liabilities, including, but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

The following summary of the material terms of our securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. You should refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, both of which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The summary below is also qualified by provisions of applicable law.
The description of our securities is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.4 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025, and the description of the Series A Preferred Stock is set forth below.
Series A Preferred Stock
On March 28, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting (except as required by applicable law). Without the prior written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, however, the Company may not: (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Series A Certificate of Designations, (ii) amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or (iv) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends on an as-if-converted basis in the same form as any dividends actually paid on shares of the Company’s Common Stock or other securities.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert to one share of Common Stock upon receipt of the Required Stockholder Approval, which the Company is seeking at its upcoming 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 11, 2025. Until the date that Required Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Series A Certificate of Designations limits the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock such that, when aggregated with the shares of Common Stock issued at the closing of the Private Placement, such issuances shall not exceed 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, as required by the rules and regulations of the NYSE.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling stockholders from time to time of up to an aggregate of 1,771,586 shares of Private Placement Common Stock, 1,140,396 shares of Other Common Stock and 10,728,414 Convertible Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to the occurrence of the Required Stockholder Approval. The Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Common Stock set forth below pursuant to this prospectus, provided that Convertible Shares may only be offered after the corresponding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted into Convertible Shares pursuant to the terms of the Series A Certificate of Designations.
The selling stockholders acquired their securities in (i) the Private Placement, which was completed on March 31, 2025, in which we issued 1,771,586 shares of our Common Stock and 10,728,414 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that will automatically convert to 10,728,414 Convertible Shares upon the occurrence of the Required Stockholder Approval and (ii) the Other Transactions.
Until the date that the Required Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Series A Certificate of Designations limits the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock such that, when aggregated with the shares of Common Stock issued at the closing of the Private Placement, such issuances may not exceed 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, as required by the rules and regulations of the NYSE.
The following table and the accompanying footnotes set forth information relating to the selling stockholders as of April 30, 2025. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that (i) the selling stockholders will have sold all of the securities covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering, (ii) the selling stockholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering and (iii) the conversion of one share of Series A Preferred Stock into one share of Common Stock pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designations.
We cannot advise you as to whether the selling stockholders will in fact sell any or all of such securities. In particular, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their securities after the date on which they provided us with information regarding their securities. A Selling Stockholder may sell or otherwise transfer all, some or none of such shares in this offering.
Please see the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” for further information regarding the selling stockholders’ method of distributing these securities.
Beneficial ownership of the selling stockholders is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act. The percentage of shares beneficially owned prior to, and after, the offering is based on 10,883,933 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2025 which number also includes the Convertible Shares as if the conversion of the Convertible Shares had occurred prior to such date. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the selling stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.
Except as otherwise described below, based on the information provided to us by the selling stockholders, no selling stockholder is a broker-dealer. Charles R. Schwab, the beneficial owner of securities held by the Charles & Helen Schwab Living Trust U/A DTD 11/22/1985, Live Oak Ventures, LLC, Olive Street Ventures, LLC and U.S. Bounti, LLC, may be deemed an affiliate of The Charles Schwab Corporation. Subsidiaries and affiliates of The Charles Schwab Corporation include a broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
