Reverse Stock Split Stockholder Approval

On April 3, 2023, Local Bounti's board of directors authorized an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to, at the discretion of Local Bounti’s board of directors, effect a reverse stock split of the shares of Local Bounti's common stock, at any time prior to June 30, 2024, at a ratio within a range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-25, with the exact ratio and effective time of the reverse stock split to be determined at the discretion of the board of directors without further approval or authorization of our stockholders. The amendment was approved by stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") held on April 26, 2023. If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, between every 2 to 25 outstanding shares of Common Stock would be combined and reclassified into one share of Common Stock. The Company will pay cash in lieu of fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, if any.

Following approval of this proposal by our stockholders, the board of directors has the sole authority to elect whether or not and when to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split. As such, the actual timing for implementation of the Reverse Stock Split would be determined by the board of directors, in its sole discretion. The actual number of authorized shares of Common Stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if and when effected, will depend on the Reverse Stock Split ratio that is ultimately determined by the board of directors.

Sale and Leaseback Transaction

On April 27, 2023, Hollandia Real Estate, LLC ("Hollandia"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and STORE Master Funding XXXI, LLC ("STORE") consummated a $35 million multi-site sale and leaseback transaction relating to the Carpinteria Facility and the Oxnard Facility (collectively, the "Hollandia Facilities").

In connection with the sale and leaseback transaction, Hollandia and STORE entered into a Master Lease Agreement (the "Lease"), dated April 27, 2023 (the "Effective Date"). Pursuant to the Lease, Hollandia will lease the Hollandia Facilities from STORE, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease.

The Lease provides for a 25-year term (the "Initial Term"), commencing on the Effective Date and expiring on April 30, 2048. Hollandia has four options to extend the Initial Term for separate renewal terms of five years each (each an "Extension Term" and, together with the Initial Term, the "Lease Term"). If Hollandia exercises all of the extension options, then the Lease will expire on April 30, 2068. Hollandia is required to give written notice to STORE not later than 120 days before the end of the then current Initial Term or Extension Term, as applicable, if Hollandia desires to exercise its option to extend the Lease Term.
Subject to adjustment as set forth in the Lease, the combined annual minimum rent payable to STORE during the first year of the Lease Term is an amount equal to $3.2 million (the "Base Annual Rent"), payable in equal monthly installments. On May 1, 2024 and each anniversary of such date thereafter during the Lease Term (the "Adjustment Date"), the Base Annual Rent will increase by three percent (3%) of the Base Annual Rent in effect immediately prior to the applicable Adjustment Date.

The Lease contains certain representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, indemnification provisions and termination provisions customary for sale and leaseback transactions.
