LOCAL BOUNTI CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business Description
Description of the Business

Local Bounti Corporation ("Local Bounti" or the "Company") was founded in August 2018 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Montana. The Company is a producer of sustainably grown living lettuce, herbs, and loose leaf lettuce. The Company is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that utilizes patent pending Stack & Flow TechnologyTM, which is a hybrid of vertical and hydroponic greenhouse farming, to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Through the Company's CEA process, its goal is to produce environmentally sustainable products in a manner that will increase harvest efficiency, limit water usage, and reduce the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process. The environmental greenhouse conditions help to ensure nutritional value and taste, and the Company's products are non-GMO and use significantly less pesticides and herbicides than traditional farming operations.

On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired California-based complementary indoor farming company Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Pete's Acquisition"), which operate under the name Pete’s ("Pete's"). Pete’s is a California-based indoor farming company with three greenhouse growing facilities, including two in California and one in Georgia. The Georgia facility became operational in July 2022. Pete’s has distribution to approximately 10,000 retail locations across 35 U.S. states and Canadian provinces, primarily through direct relationships with blue-chip retail customers, including Albertsons, Kroger, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and AmazonFresh. Pete’s primary products include living butter lettuce as well as packaged salad and cress. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for additional discussion of the Pete's Acquisition.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Management of Local Bounti is responsible for the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the statements herein.
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Financial Statements") as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present its financial position as of September 30, 2022, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and its stockholders' equity (accumulated deficit) as of September 30, 2022. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any future period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021, was derived from the Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.
There have been no material changes or updates to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in the Annual Financial Statements and as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

New Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no new accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective that had or are expected to have a material impact on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements apart from those described in the Annual Financial Statements.

3. Acquisitions

Business Combination
On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Pete’s. The purchase price consideration for the acquisition was $92.5 million in cash (subject to customary adjustments) and 5,654,600 shares of Local Bounti common stock, which had an original consideration, at the time of signing, of $30.0 million and a fair value of $50.9 million as of the closing date of the Pete's Acquisition. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. The Company acquired Pete’s in order to leverage Pete's operational scale and retail distribution footprint to create a leading, scaled CEA operator with a national distribution footprint and access to approximately 10,000 retail doors.
Acquisition related costs of $204 thousand and $4,449 thousand were included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
The purchase consideration was preliminary allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill as shown below. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and expanded market opportunities and was allocated to the Company's single reporting unit. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years and a 338(h)(10) election was filed to step up the tax basis of the assets acquired to fair value.
The preliminary allocation is as follows (in thousands):
Intangible assets$52,300
Goodwill38,476
Assets acquired56,454
Liabilities assumed(3,776)
Total fair value of net assets acquired:$143,454
The measurement period for the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed ends as soon as information on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date becomes available, but does not exceed twelve months. The purchase price allocation is subject to future adjustments related to income taxes or other contingencies.
The following table sets forth the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands):
Customer relationships$40,200
Trade name7,400
Non-compete agreements4,700
Total:$52,300
The useful life of the customer relationships, trade name, and non-compete agreements are approximately 16 years, seven years, and 18 months, respectively. Amortization expense of intangible assets was $1,256 thousand and $3,352 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, future amortization expense is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

Remainder of 2022$1,676
20235,920
20243,570
20253,570

Pro forma financial information
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations have been prepared as though the business combination of Local Bounti and Pete's was completed on January 1, 2021. Pro forma amounts are based on the preliminary purchase price allocation of the acquisition and are not necessarily indicative of results that may be reported in the future. Non-recurring pro forma adjustments including acquisition-related costs directly attributable to the acquisition are included within the reported pro forma revenue and net loss.

Agreements with Cargill Financial

In September 2021, the Company and Cargill Financial entered into (a) a credit agreement (the "Original Senior Credit Agreement") for an up to $150.0 million multiple-advance term loan (the "Senior Facility") and (b) a subordinated credit agreement (the "Original Subordinated Credit Agreement" and, together with the Original Senior Credit Agreement, the "Original Credit Agreements") for an up to $50.0 million multiple-advance subordinated term loan (the "Subordinated Facility" and, together with the Senior Facility, the "Original Facilities").

First Amendment of the Original Credit Agreements

On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Original Credit Agreements (the "First Amendment") to amend the Original Credit Agreements and the Original Facilities (as amended, the "Amended Facilities"), subject to and effective upon closing the Pete’s Acquisition. On April 4, 2022, the First Amendment
13


became effective whereby (a) the Pete’s Acquisition was funded pursuant to the Amended Facilities, (b) the aggregate commitment amount of the Original Facilities was reduced to $170.0 million, (c) the minimum liquidity covenant was reduced from $30.0 million to $20.0 million (inclusive of existing restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), and (d) the interest rate of each of the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility increased by 2%, among other matters. Pursuant to the First Amendment, in connection with the closing of the Pete's Acquisition, the Company (i) paid a $2.0 million amendment fee and (ii) issued 1,932,931 shares of common stock to Cargill Financial. The First Amendment was accounted for as a modification to a line of credit. Accordingly, the Company wrote off unamortized debt issuance costs in proportion to the decrease in borrowing capacity of the Original Credit Agreements of $735 thousand. The write-off amount was recorded as interest expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The First Amendment fee of $2.0 million and the issued 1,932,931 shares of common stock with a fair value at the time of issuance of $17.4 million was recorded as additional debt discount and is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Amended Facilities agreement on a straight-line basis.
The interest rate on the Subordinated Facility subsequent to the First Amendment is 12.5% per annum, with accrued interest on the agreement paid quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter, commencing the last business day of the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2021, and on the maturity date of September 3, 2028.
The interest rate on the Senior Facility subsequent to the First Amendment is equal to SOFR plus a margin (which varies between 7.5% to 8.5% depending on the Senior Facility net leverage ratio). Principal payments are due on the maturity date of the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility on September 3, 2028.

Second Amendment of the Original Credit Agreements

On August 11, 2022, the Company, along with certain subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a second amendment to the Amended Facilities (the "Second Amendment") with Cargill Financial to amend the Amended Facilities. The Second Amendment provides that, until the earliest to occur of (x) the occurrence of any event of default, (y) the effective date of a qualified equity financing and (z) March 31, 2024, (a) the requirement for the minimum interest amount for the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility is reduced to an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0 and (ii) the sum of all interest payments due and payable under the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility in respect of term loans outstanding for a period of four calendar quarters.

The Company is required to have an interest reserve account which is shown as restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In effect, the Second Amendment reduces the minimum interest amount from the sum of all interest payments due and payable under the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility for a period of eight calendar quarters down to a period of four calendar quarters, as described above. In addition, the Senior Facility also requires that two quarters of principal be reserved by applying a ten-year amortization schedule to the outstanding principal balance. In accordance with the Second Amendment, the balance of the Company's interest reserve account was $19,754 thousand at September 30, 2022 as compared to $4,416 thousand at December 31, 2021.

The Amended Facilities also contains certain financial covenants that become measurable and effective beginning in the third quarter of 2025, including debt coverage, net leverage, and interest coverage ratios. Additional covenants and other provisions exist that may limit or affect the timing of the Company’s ability, among other things, to undergo a merger or consolidation, sell certain assets, create liens, guarantee certain obligations of third parties, make certain investments or acquisitions, and declare dividends or make distributions. The credit facility is secured with a first-priority lien against substantially all of the assets of the Company, including its intellectual property. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants as of September 30, 2022.

In September 2022, the Company borrowed an additional $7,470 thousand under the term loan. The Amended Facilities have an unused revolving line commitment fee in an amount of 125 basis points per annum of the unused portion of the Amended Facilities.

10. Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. In computing net loss per share, the Company’s unvested restricted common stock and warrants are not considered participating securities. Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for all periods presented because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive given the Company’s net loss. Diluted net loss per common share adjusts basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders to give effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, no instrument was determined to have a dilutive effect under the treasury method.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data):

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company has and may become party to various legal proceedings and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management is currently not aware of any matters that it expects will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
12. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from September 30, 2022 through the date the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued and identified the following:

Private Placement

On October 21, 2022 (the "Agreement Date"), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with certain purchasers (the "Purchasers"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers, in a private placement, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") at a purchase price of $2.50 per share (the "Private Placement"). The closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on October 20, 2022 (the last trading day before the Agreement Date), was $2.50 per share.

    Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell and the Purchasers agreed to purchase 9,320,000 shares (the "Common Shares") of Common Stock resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $23.3 million before deducting estimated offering expenses. Affiliates of certain members of our Board
16


of Directors and certain executive officers purchased an aggregate of 280,000 shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement. The Company expects to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company agrees to register for resale the Common Shares (the "Registrable Securities"). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale by the Purchasers of the Registrable Securities within 10 business days of the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was filed on October 24, 2022. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to keep such registration statement effective until such time as there are no longer Registrable Securities held by the Purchasers. The Company has agreed to be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.

The Company has granted the Purchasers customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement, including for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Purchasers have also granted the Company customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement.

There have been no other events or transactions that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2022 that require recognition or disclosure.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes to those statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." As discussed in more detail in the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," this discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Overview

Local Bounti was founded in August 2018 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Montana. We are a producer of sustainably grown living lettuce, herbs, and loose leaf lettuce. Our vision is to deliver the freshest locally grown produce over the fewest food miles possible. We are a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that utilizes patent pending Stack & Flow TechnologyTM, which is a hybrid of vertical and hydroponic greenhouse farming, to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Through our CEA process, it is our goal to produce our products in an environmentally sustainable manner that will increase harvest efficiency, limit water usage and reduce the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process. The environmental greenhouse conditions help to ensure nutritional value and taste, and our products are non-GMO and use significantly less pesticides and herbicides than traditional farming operations. Our sustainable growing practices use 90% less land and 90% less water than conventional farming methods.

On April 4, 2022, we acquired Pete’s. Pete’s is a California-based indoor farming company with a distribution to approximately 10,000 retail locations across 35 U.S. states and Canadian provinces, primarily through direct relationships with blue-chip retail customers, including Albertsons, Kroger, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and AmazonFresh. Pete's has three greenhouse growing facilities, including two in California and one in Georgia which became operational in July 2022. The new Georgia facility will provide additional capacity to meet existing demand from our retail customers. Pete’s primary products include living butter lettuce – where it is a leading provider with an approximate 80% share of the CEA market within the Western U.S. – as well as packaged salad and cress. Pete’s has been in operation for over 50 years while focusing the last 25 years in leafy greens and has long-standing relationships with the majority of its customers. We plan to install our patent pending Stack & Flow Technology™ at Pete’s facilities, combining the best aspects of vertical and greenhouse growing technologies to deliver higher yields of diverse leafy greens at superior unit economics.

We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of produce. We grow and package fresh greens that are sold into existing markets and channels such as food retailers and food service distributors from our Montana facility and two California facilities, and beginning in the third quarter of 2022, from our new Georgia facility. Sales are recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer.

We periodically offer sales incentives to our customers, including temporary price reductions. We anticipate that these promotional activities could impact sales and that changes in such activities could impact period-over-period results. Sales may also vary from period to period depending on the purchase orders we receive, the volume and mix of products sold and the channels through which our products are sold. In response to realized cost inflation, we have implemented contractually allowable price increases which we anticipate to benefit from in the fourth quarter of 2022 and beyond.

We intend to increase our production capacity and expand our reach to new markets, new geographies, and new customers through either the building of new facilities or through the acquisition of existing greenhouse facilities which we will 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 expect to expand our product offering 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.

In October 2022, we signed a five-year offtake agreement with Sam’s Club for our leafy greens production starting at our greenhouse facility in Georgia. We continue to advance our expansion of the Georgia facility, which will double the existing footprint and further enhance capacity with the addition of our Stack & Flow TechnologyTM to meet pent up demand for Local Bounti packaged salads to current customers and open the opportunity to earn new business in that region.
The Pasco, Washington facility continues to progress, with anticipated completion in the third quarter of 2023. This facility will be comprised of multiple stack zones and three acres of greenhouse.

We selected Mount Pleasant, Texas as the site for our next facility. This location was selected based on customer demand and proximity to existing customers' distribution networks. We are working through the closing process for the parcel, which is expected to be completed toward the end of November 2022, with construction activities beginning shortly thereafter. The Texas facility will be comprised of a six-acre greenhouse facility and multiple stack zones. We anticipate the facility will be operational in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Environmental, Social and Governance

Conventional agriculture has been feeding the world for hundreds of years, yet given the negative impacts of climate change, it is now struggling to keep pace. Add to that the COVID–19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and its impact on not only food supply but also the cost of fertilizer and other inputs used in traditional agriculture, an already stressed food supply system is experiencing even more pressure. Sustainability has emerged as a global imperative, and when it comes to agriculture, it is clear we must find ways to do better. We believe growing healthy vegetables is good business, and our growing technology delivers clean produce with safer growing methods, which we believe benefits all stakeholders and differentiates us from traditional agriculture. We expect that consumer demand for clean, nutritious, locally grown, and high-quality products will increase over time.

Our compact, efficient, and local farms provide fresh produce with minimum transportation distances. Combined with our advanced technologies, the location of our facilities in less developed communities and areas with available supporting resources such as adequate water and renewable energy, we believe Local Bounti has the potential to be among the most sustainable produce suppliers in the nation.

More information on our key environmental, social and governance ("ESG") programs, goals and commitments, and key metrics can be found in our 2021 sustainability report, which is available on our website. Information contained on our website or connected thereto does not constitute part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

While we believe our ESG goals align with our long-term growth strategy and financial and operational priorities, they are aspirational and may change, and there is no guarantee or promise that they will be met.

Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We expect to expend substantial resources as we:

identify and invest in future growth opportunities, including new product lines;

complete construction and commission the Pasco, Washington facility and invest in additional CEA facilities in the future, including our next facility in Mount Pleasant, Texas;

integrate Pete's operations into our business;

invest in product innovation and development;

invest in sales and marketing efforts to increase brand awareness, engage customers and drive sales of our products; and

incur additional general administration expenses, including increased finance, legal and accounting expenses associated with being a public company, and growing operations.

The following sections discuss and analyze the changes in the significant line items in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the comparative periods in the table above.

Sales

Sale of Produce

We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of produce. In response to realized cost inflation, we have implemented contractually allowable price increases which we anticipate to benefit from in the fourth quarter of 2022 and beyond.

Sale of produce increased by $6,126 thousand to $6,285 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Sales of produce increased by $12,512 thousand to $12,836 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase for both periods was due primarily to the acquisition of Pete's at the beginning of April 2022, which added more than 10,000 retail locations nationwide.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of costs related to growing produce at our greenhouse facilities, including labor, seeds and other input supplies, packaging materials, depreciation, stock-based compensation, and utilities. We expect that, over time, cost of goods sold will decrease as a percentage of sales, as a result of scaling our business.

Cost of goods sold increased by $4,860 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, due primarily to proportionate increases in product sales during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Cost of goods sold increased by $11,254 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, mostly due to proportionate increases in product sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of goods sold also increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the fair value step-up to expected selling price of acquired inventory from the April 2022 Pete's Acquisition. This acquired inventory was subsequently sold during the second quarter at the stepped-up value or at a zero margin, which negatively impacted year-to-date gross margin by $1,042 or 8.1%. Additionally, cost of goods sold was negatively impacted for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to temporary supply chain challenges with suppliers at our California facilities during the second quarter, which resulted in higher costs to fill orders. These temporary supply chain challenges have since been resolved.

20


Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation to employees engaged in research and development activities, including salaries, stock-based compensation, and related benefits, overhead (including depreciation, utilities and other related allocated expenses), and supplies and services related to the development of our growing processes. Our research and development efforts are focused on the development of our processes utilizing our CEA facility, increasing production yields, developing new leafy green SKUs and value-added products such as grab-and-go salads, and exploring new crops, including berries. We focus our research and development efforts on areas that we believe will generate future revenue and grow our intellectual property portfolio across process improvements, genetics, computer, vision, artificial intelligence, and process controls.

Due to our ongoing research and development, we are currently generating approximately 26 crop turns annually for our commercial loose-leaf lettuce, which compares to approximately 17 to 22 turns annually as of December 31, 2021. We expect that, over the long term, research and development will decrease as a percentage of sales, as a result of the establishment of our growing process.

Research and development costs increased by $1,601 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Research and development costs increased by $6,360 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase for both periods was due to increased investment in personnel, materials, supplies, and facility capacity as we continue to expand our product offering and refine our growing process. We incurred costs for research and development of our production, harvesting, and post-harvest packaging techniques and processes, as well as production surplus costs related to the development of our production process.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist of employee compensation, including salaries, stock-based compensation, and related benefits for our executive, legal, finance, information technology, human resources and sales and marketing teams, expenses for third-party professional services, insurance, marketing, advertising, computer hardware and software, and amortization of intangible assets, among others.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $15,970 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a $9,472 thousand increase in stock-based compensation expense driven by the vesting of stock awards, a $2,721 thousand increase in employee salaries, wages, and benefits due to increased headcount from Company growth and to support operations as a public company, a $1,260 thousand increase in amortization of intangibles acquired as part of the Pete's Acquisition, a $944 thousand increase in insurance costs, and a $959 thousand increase in professional legal, accounting, and consulting fees.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $49,216 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a $27,203 thousand increase in stock-based compensation expense driven by the vesting of stock awards, a $10,219 thousand increase in employee salaries, wages, and benefits due to increased headcount from Company growth and to support operations as a public company, a $4,449 thousand increase in transaction costs due to the acquisition of Pete's, a $3,357 thousand increase in amortization of intangibles acquired as part of the Pete's Acquisition, a $2,608 thousand increase in insurance costs, and a $2,360 thousand increase in professional legal, accounting, and consulting fees.

Convertible Notes Fair Value Adjustment

During 2021, we entered into a series of identical convertible long-term notes with various parties with a face value of $26,050 thousand that bore interest at 8% with a maturity date of February 8, 2023 (the "Convertible Notes"). All Convertible Notes were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.

Prior to the conversion of the Convertible Notes into shares of common stock, we measured Convertible Notes at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, resulting in these Convertible Notes being classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of Convertible Notes related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as a Convertible Notes fair value adjustment within the results of operations.

There was no Convertible Notes fair value adjustment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as all the Convertible Notes were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense related to the loans with Cargill Financial and interest recognized per the terms of our financing obligation related to the Montana facility.

21


Interest expense, net increased by $2,075 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to a $26,207 thousand increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Subordinated Facility and a $93,144 thousand increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Senior Facility as well as a variable rate increase as compared to the prior year period, which resulted in an additional interest expense of $3,808 thousand as compared to the prior year period. Additional interest expense of $932 thousand was incurred from amortization of loan origination fees for the loans with Cargill Financial. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $491 thousand related to a $10,000 thousand term loan with Cargill Financial that was paid off in September 2021 and a decrease in interest expense of $525 thousand related to our Convertible Notes which were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.

Interest expense, net increased by $7,510 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to a $26,207 thousand increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Subordinated Facility and a $93,144 thousand increase in the principal amount outstanding on the Senior Facility as well as a variable rate increase as compared to the prior year period, which resulted in an additional interest expense of $7,163 thousand. Additional interest expense of $1,864 thousand was incurred from amortization of loan origination fees for the loans with Cargill Financial and $735 thousand of unamortized debt issuance costs that were written off in connection with the First Amendment as described in Note 7, Debt. This increase was offset by a decrease in interest expense of $1,194 thousand related to a $10,000 thousand term loan with Cargill Financial that was paid off in September 2021 and a decrease of $1,364 thousand related to our Convertible Notes which were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since our inception. At September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $152,781 thousand and cash of $23,981 thousand comprised of $4,227 cash and cash equivalents and $19,754 restricted cash and cash equivalents used to service our debt with Cargill Financial. On October 21, 2021, we entered into an agreement to issue 9,320,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of these shares was approximately $23.3 million. See Note 12, Subsequent Events, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

As of September 30, 2022, the principal amounts due under our credit facilities with Cargill Financial totaled $135.6 million, none of which is classified as current. Availability for reimbursement of construction costs under the credit facility is limited up to 75% of construction costs with the remaining 25% of such costs financed internally from operating cash flow and/or with Local Bounti capital. These debt agreements contain various financial and non-financial covenants and certain restrictions on our business, which include restrictions on additional indebtedness and material adverse effects, that could cause us to be at risk of default. A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of this debt instrument, including any failure to make payments when required, would generally result in events of default under such instruments, which could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of such indebtedness.

The CEA business is capital-intensive. Currently, our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows generated from the sale of our products, and a credit facility with Cargill Financial. Cash expenditures over the next 12 months are expected to include interest payments on debt obligations, employee wages and related benefits, costs associated with planting and harvesting, such as the purchase of seeds and growing supplies and facility maintenance costs, and construction/expansion of our growing facilities.

We believe that our current cash position, cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity of $34.4 million under our credit facility with Cargill Financial, and equity financing as described above and in Note 12, Subsequent Events, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the next 12 months. We expect that we will need to access the capital markets to finance future cash requirements, which may not occur timely or on satisfactory terms, if at all, and agree to burdensome covenants, grant further security interests in our assets or enter into equity arrangements on terms that are not favorable and dilutive to existing shareholders. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition and results of consolidated operations. In the event that our plans change or our cash requirements are greater than we anticipate, we may need to curtail operations.

Cargill Loans

In September 2021, the Company and Cargill Financial entered into the Senior Facility and the Subordinated Facility whereby Cargill Financial agreed to make advances to the Company of up to $150.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively. Subsequent to the First Amendment as described in Note 7, Debt, the aggregate commitment amount was reduced to $170.0 million and the interest rate on the Subordinated Facility increased by 2% to 12.5% per annum and the interest rate on the Senior Facility is equal to the SOFR plus a margin (which varies between 7.5% to 8.5% depending on the Senior Facility net leverage ratio). Accrued interest is paid quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the last business day of the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2021 through the maturity date of September 3, 2028. As of September 30, 2022, a total of $42,500 thousand $93,144 was
22


outstanding on the Subordinated Facility and the Senior Facility, respectively. The Subordinated Facility and the Senior Facility are included in "Long-term debt" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We are required to maintain cash on hand to cover four quarters of cash interest payments and two quarters of principal for the Senior Facility calculated by applying a ten-year amortization schedule to the outstanding principal balance.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no changes to the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates from those described under "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the continuing material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of adequate finance and accounting personnel as disclosed in "Part II. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Remediation Plan

Management is continuing to implement the remediation plan as disclosed in "Part II. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, to ensure that the deficiency contributing to the material weakness is remediated such that this control will operate effectively.

We believe that these actions, and the improvements we expect to achieve as a result, will effectively remediate the material weakness. However, the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until management has concluded, through testing, that controls are designed effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
