BENSON HILL, INC.
Overview
We
are an integrated food technology company that uniquely combines data science, plant science and food science to unlock nature’s
genetic diversity in the development of more nutritious, sustainable, affordable, great-tasting food and ingredients. We are headquartered
in St. Louis, Missouri, where the majority of our research and development activities are managed. We operate a soy crushing and food-grade
white flake and soy flour manufacturing operation in Creston, Iowa and a soy crushing facility in Seymour, Indiana to sell our proprietary
products and non-proprietary products in North America and in select international markets. We also process yellow peas in North Dakota,
which we sell throughout North America, and supply fresh produce through packing, distribution, and growing locations in the southeastern
states of the United States.
Our
purpose is to catalyze and broadly empower innovation from plant to plate so great tasting, more nutritious, affordable, and sustainable
food choices are available to everyone. We combine cutting-edge technology with an innovative business approach to bring product innovations
to customers and consumers. Our CropOS® technology platform uniquely combines data science, plant science, and food science
to leverage the natural genetic diversity of plants to develop more innovative food, ingredient, and feed products — starting
with a better seed.
Our
business is comprised of two reportable segments: our Ingredients segment and our Fresh segment. Our Ingredients segment is currently
focused on the production and commercialization of our proprietary soy-based ingredients. In addition, the segment produces and sells
non-proprietary soy-based products and non-proprietary yellow pea ingredient products. Our proprietary products include soy-based vegetable
oils, animal feed ingredients, aquaculture ingredients, and food ingredients derived from our ultra-high protein soybeans, which have
the potential to reduce or eliminate costly water- and energy-intensive processing steps associated with producing products for the food
and feed markets, alleviating supply constraints to help bring plant-based proteins and other sustainable ingredient products to scale.
Our Fresh segment, which primarily includes our wholly-owned subsidiary, J&J Produce, Inc., is focused on growing, packing, and selling
fresh produce products to major retail and food service customers. The Company is currently exploring strategic options for its Fresh
operating segment.
Corporate Information
On September 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”),
STPC, a special purpose acquisition company, consummated the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement, a business combination between STPC and Legacy Benson Hill was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy
Benson Hill, with Legacy Benson Hill surviving the transaction as a wholly-owned subsidiary of STPC. On the Closing Date, STPC changed
its name to Benson Hill, Inc. and Legacy Benson Hill changed its name to Benson Hill Holdings,
Inc. As a consequence of the Merger, we became the successor to a company registered with the SEC and listed on the NYSE.
We are incorporated
in Delaware and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, where the majority of our research and development activities are managed. Our principal
executive offices are located at 1001 North Warson Road, St. Louis, Missouri and our telephone
number is (314) 222-8218. Our corporate website address is www.bensonhill.com. Information
contained on or accessible through our website is not a part of this prospectus, and the inclusion of our website address in this prospectus
is an inactive textual reference only.

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting
company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting
companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as the market value of our voting and non-voting
common equity held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our
annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our voting and non-voting
common equity held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. We will
no longer be a smaller reporting company as of December 31, 2022.
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012 (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 an 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 comparison of our financial statements with those of another public
company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that 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 closing of STPC’s initial
public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 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.

The Selling Securityholders may, or may not, elect to sell their shares

Applicable Number of such March 2022 Warrant, is immediately exercisable, and expires on March 25, 2027, and is subject to customary
adjustments.
The Company does not currently expect that the exercise of the
March 2022 Warrants will be registered with the SEC. Until such time as such exercise may be registered, any exercise of the March 2022
Warrants must be pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. |
| |
|
| Ownership Limits |
The March 2022 Warrants consist of (i) 38 warrants containing a term limiting the exercise of the warrants by the holder to the extent that such exercise would cause the holder to exceed 19.99% beneficial ownership of the Company and (ii) 1 warrant that limits the exercise of the warrants to the extent that such exercise would cause the holder to exceed 9.99% beneficial ownership of the Company. Other than the term described above, the warrants are otherwise identical. |
| |
|
| Redemption |
Each March 2022 Warrant is redeemable by the Company for an amount
equal to (x) $0.10 times (y) the Applicable Number of such March 2022 Warrant upon the Common Stock trading greater than $9.75 per share
for 20 of 30 consecutive trading days. |
| Use of proceeds |
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of March 2022 Warrants by the Selling Securityholders. We will receive the proceeds from any exercise of the March 2022 Warrants for cash, which we intend to use to help fund our strategic growth initiatives. |
RISK FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the
risks and uncertainties described under the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement
and any related free writing prospectus, and discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented and updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports
on Form 8-K that we have filed or will file with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety,
together with other information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference and
any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with a specific offering. The risks described in these documents
are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business,
competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may
not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future
periods. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or
cash flow could be harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part
of your investment. Please also read carefully the section below titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
USE OF PROCEEDS
All of the securities offered by the Selling Securityholders
pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective amounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds
from these sales.
Assuming the exercise of all
outstanding Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants for cash, we will receive an aggregate of approximately $191 million, but will
not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. We expect to use the net proceeds from
the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants, if any, for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions,
strategic investments, or repayment of outstanding indebtedness. We will have broad discretion over the use of any proceeds from the exercise
of the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants. There is no assurance that the holders of the Private Placement Warrants and Public
Warrants will elect to exercise for cash any or all of such Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants. To the extent that any Private
Placement Warrants and Public Warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise
of the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants will decrease.
The Selling Securityholders
will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders for brokerage, accounting, tax
or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders in disposing of the securities. We will bear the costs,
fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including all registration and
filing fees, NYSE listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following summary description is based on
the provisions of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”), our Amended and Restated Bylaws
(the “Bylaws”) and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. This information may not be complete in all respects and is qualified
entirely by reference to the Charter and the Bylaws, which are incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part.
Authorized Capital Stock
We
are authorized to issue 441,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 440,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). As
of November 8, 2022, there were 206,463,117 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding, which shares were held by 392 stockholders of record, and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Voting Power
Except as otherwise required by law, the Charter
or the Bylaws, each holder of our Common Stock is entitled to cast one vote per share on any matter that is submitted to a vote of stockholders.
Delaware law allows for cumulative voting only if provided for in a corporation’s charter;
however, the Charter does not authorize cumulative voting.
Dividends
Subject to the rights of the holders of each outstanding
series of our Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to participate
ratably on a per share basis in any dividends or distributions as may be declared by our Board of Directors (the “Board”)
from time to time out of any of our assets or funds legally available for the payment thereof.
Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up
Upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, the holders of our Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference over holders of our Common Stock as follows: after
the payment of the full amount that the holders of our Preferred Stock are entitled to, the remaining available
assets shall be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of our Common Stock and the holders of our Preferred Stock, but
only to the extent that the holders of our Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate in such distributions in accordance with
the terms of such Preferred Stock and applicable law.
Preemptive or Other Rights
Our stockholders have no conversion rights or
preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to our Common Stock.
Election of Directors
The Charter provides that our stockholders shall
elect directors to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor will have been elected and qualified,
or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal from office. Except in a contested election, the
vote required for election of a director by our stockholders is the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in favor of or against
the election of a nominee at a meeting of stockholders. In a contested election, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the
votes cast at a meeting of stockholders by the holders of stock entitled to vote in such election.
Preferred Stock
The Charter provides that shares of Preferred
Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is authorized to fix the voting rights, designations, powers, preferences,
the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable
to the shares of each series of Preferred Stock. The Board is able, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with voting
and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock and could have anti-takeover
effects. The ability of the Board to issue Preferred Stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change of control or the removal of existing management.
As
of November 8, 2022, there were no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. Although
we do not currently intend to issue any shares of Preferred Stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.
March 2022 Warrants
The March 2022 Warrants were issued on March 25,
2022 pursuant to the Subscription Agreements. You should review a copy of the Form of Subscription Agreement and the Form of
March 2022 Warrant, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, for a complete
description of the terms and conditions applicable to the March 2022 Warrants.
Exercise
Each March 2022 Warrant can be
exercised to purchase a given number (the “Applicable Number”) of shares of Common Stock respective to such Warrant.
Each March 2022 Warrant has an exercise price of (x) $3.90 times (y) the Applicable Number of such Warrant, is
immediately exercisable, and expires on March 25, 2027, and is subject to customary adjustments.
The Company does not currently expect that the
exercise of the March 2022 Warrants will be registered with the SEC. Until such time as such exercise may be registered, any exercise
of the March 2022 Warrants must be pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
In addition, the March 2022 Warrants contain
a “cashless exercise” feature that allows the holders thereof to exercise the warrants without a cash payment to us under
certain circumstances.
Ownership Limits
The March 2022 Warrants consist of (i) 38
warrants containing a term limiting the exercise of the warrants by the holder to the extent that such exercise would cause the holder
to exceed 19.99% beneficial ownership of the Company and (ii) 1 warrant that limits the exercise of the warrants to the extent that
such exercise would cause the holder to exceed 9.99% beneficial ownership of the Company. Other than the term described above, the warrants
are otherwise identical.
Redemption
Each March 2022 Warrant is redeemable by
the Company for an amount equal to (x) $0.10 times (y) the Applicable Number of such March 2022 Warrant upon the Common
Stock trading greater than $9.75 per share for 20 of 30 consecutive trading days, upon written notice to the holder, provided there is
an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such March 2022
Warrant, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the applicable redemption period.
Market Information
The March 2022 Warrants are not currently
expected to be listed for trading on the NYSE.
Private Placement Warrants
Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles
the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below,
at any time commencing on January 8, 2022, except as discussed in the immediately succeeding paragraph. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement,
a Private Placement Warrant holder may exercise its Private Placement Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. This
means only a whole Private Placement Warrant may be exercised at a given time by its holder. The Private Placement Warrants will expire
on September 9, 2026 (which is five years after the Closing Date), at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption
or liquidation.
We are not obligated to deliver any shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Private Placement Warrant and have no obligation to settle such Private Placement Warrant exercise
unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants
is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect
to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No Private Placement Warrant is exercisable and we are not obligated
to issue a share of Common Stock upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant unless the Common Stock issuable upon such Private Placement
Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered
holder of the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied
with respect to a Private Placement Warrant, the holder of such Private Placement Warrant is not entitled to exercise such Private Placement
Warrant and such Private Placement Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event are we required to net cash settle any
Private Placement Warrant.
If holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect
to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their Private Placement Warrants for that number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying
the Private Placement Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Sponsor fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise
price of the Private Placement Warrants by (y) the Sponsor fair market value. The “Sponsor fair market value” shall mean
the average reported closing price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which
the notice of Warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent.
In connection with the Merger, we filed with the
SEC registration statements on Form S-1 for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, and we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such
registration statements and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Common Stock until the Private Placement Warrants expire
or are redeemed, as specified in the Warrant Agreement; provided that if Common Stock is at the time of any exercise of a Private Placement
Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of
the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Private Placement Warrants to do so on
a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will
not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will use our commercially reasonably efforts to register
or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the Closing
Date, Private Placement Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when
we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Private Placement Warrants on a “cashless basis”
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but we will use our commercially reasonably efforts
to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder
would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Private Placement Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the lesser
of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement
Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value”(defined below) less the exercise
price of the Private Placement Warrants by (y) the fair market value and (ii) 0.361. The “fair market value” as
used in this paragraph shall mean the volume weighted average price of Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day
prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.
Redemption of Private Placement Warrants when the price per share
of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00
Once the Private Placement Warrants become exercisable,
we may redeem the outstanding Private Placement Warrants (except as described herein):
| • | in whole and not in part; |
| • | at a price of $0.01 per Private Placement Warrant; |
| • | upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Private Placement Warrant holder; and |
| • | if, and only if, the closing price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number
of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Private Placement Warrant as described under the heading “Anti-dilution
Adjustments” below) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before we send the notice
of redemption to the Private Placement Warrant holders. |
We will not redeem the Private Placement Warrants
as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Common Stock is
available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the Private Placement Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise
our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities
laws.
We have established the last of the redemption
criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the Private Placement
Warrant exercise price. Any such exercise would not be done on a “cashless” basis and would require the exercising Private
Placement Warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each Private Placement Warrant being exercised. If the foregoing conditions are
satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the Private Placement Warrants, each Private Placement Warrant holder will be entitled
to exercise his, her or its Private Placement Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of our Common Stock may
fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise
price of a Private Placement Warrant as described under the heading “Anti-dilution Adjustments” below) as well as the
$11.50 Private Placement Warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Private Placement
Warrants will not be redeemable under certain redemption scenarios by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.
Redemption of Private Placement Warrants when the price per share
of Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00
Once the Private Placement Warrants become exercisable,
we may redeem the outstanding Private Placement Warrants (except as described herein):
| • | in whole and not in part; |
| • | at $0.10 per Private Placement Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, provided that holders
will be able to exercise their Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined
by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Common Stock (as defined
below) except as otherwise described below; |
| • | if, and only if, the closing price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted for adjustments to the
number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Private Placement Warrant as described under the heading “Anti-dilution
Adjustments” below) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before we send the notice
of redemption to the Private Placement Warrant holders; and |
| • | if the closing price of the Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior
to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the Private Placement Warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted
for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Private Placement Warrant as described under
the heading “Anti-dilution Adjustments” below), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for
redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Private Placement
Warrants will not be redeemable under certain redemption scenarios by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.
Beginning on the date the notice of redemption
is given until the Private Placement Warrants are redeemed or exercised, holders may elect to exercise their Private Placement Warrants
on a cashless basis. The numbers in the table below represent the number of shares of Common Stock that a Private Placement Warrant holder
will receive upon such cashless exercise in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair
market value” of our Class A common stock on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their Private
Placement Warrants and such Private Placement Warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per Private Placement Warrant), determined for these
purposes based on volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on
which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Private Placement Warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding
redemption date precedes the expiration date of the Private Placement Warrants, each as set forth in the table below. We will provide
our Private Placement Warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the 10-trading day period
described above ends.
The share prices set forth in the column headings
of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant
or the exercise price of a Private Placement Warrant is adjusted as set forth under the heading “Anti-dilution Adjustments”
below. If the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant is adjusted, the adjusted share prices in the column
headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the exercise
price of the Private Placement Warrant after such adjustment and the denominator of which is the exercise price of the Private Placement
Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment. In such an event, the number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted by multiplying
such share amounts by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a Private Placement
Warrant as so adjusted. If the exercise price of a Private Placement Warrant is adjusted as a result of raising capital in connection
with the initial business combination pursuant to the fifth paragraph under the heading “Anti-dilution Adjustments”
below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the higher of the Market Value (as defined below) and the Newly Issued Price as set forth under the heading “Anti-dilution
Adjustments” and the denominator of which is $10.00.

The exact fair market value and redemption date
may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption
date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for each Private Placement Warrant
exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market
values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the volume
weighted average price of our Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption
is sent to the holders of the Private Placement Warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration
of the Private Placement Warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their Private Placement
Warrants for 0.277 shares of Common Stock for each whole Private Placement Warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and
redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume weighted average price of our Common Stock during the 10 trading
days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the Private Placement Warrants is $13.50
per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the Private Placement Warrants, holders may choose to, in
connection with this redemption feature, exercise their Private Placement Warrants for 0.298 shares of Common Stock for each whole Private
Placement Warrant. In no event will the Private Placement Warrants be exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with this redemption
feature for more than 0.361 shares of Common Stock per Private Placement Warrant (subject to adjustment). Finally, as reflected in the
table above, if the Private Placement Warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis
in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any shares of Common
Stock.
This redemption feature is structured to allow
for all of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants to be redeemed when our Common Stock is trading at or above $10.00 per share, which
may be at a time when the trading price of our Common Stock is below the exercise price of the Private Placement Warrants. We have established
this redemption feature to provide us with the flexibility to redeem the Private Placement Warrants without the Private Placement Warrants
having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold described under the heading “Redemption of Private Placement Warrants when the
price per share of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00” above. Holders choosing to exercise their Private Placement Warrants
in connection with a redemption pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares for their Private Placement Warrants
based on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input as of January 5, Private Placement. This redemption right provides
us with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants, and therefore have certainty as
to our capital structure as the Private Placement Warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed. We
are required to pay the applicable redemption price to Private Placement Warrant holders if we choose to exercise this redemption right
and it will allow us to quickly proceed with a redemption of the Private Placement Warrants if we determine it is in our best interest
to do so. As such, we would redeem the Private Placement Warrants in this manner when we believe it is in our best interest to update
our capital structure to remove the Private Placement Warrants and pay the redemption price to the Private Placement Warrant holders.
As stated above, we can redeem the Private Placement
Warrants when our Common Stock is trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will
provide certainty with respect to our capital structure and cash position while providing Private Placement Warrant holders with the opportunity
to exercise their Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number of shares. If we choose to redeem the Private
Placement Warrants when our Common Stock is trading at a price below the exercise price of the Private Placement Warrants, this could
result in the Private Placement Warrant holders receiving fewer shares of Common Stock than they would have received if they had chosen
to wait to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for shares of Common Stock if and when our Common Stock was trading at a price higher
than the exercise price of $11.50.
No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued
upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive
a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
to the Private Placement Warrant holder. If, at the time of redemption, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for a security
other than our Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the Private Placement Warrants may be exercised for such security. At such
time as the Private Placement Warrants become exercisable for a security other than our Common Stock, we will use commercially reasonable
efforts to register under the Securities Act the security issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants.
Ownership Limit
A holder of a Private Placement Warrant may notify
us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such Private
Placement Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates),
to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify)
of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
Anti-dilution Adjustments
If the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar
event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on
exercise of each Private Placement Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price
less than the “historical fair market value”(as defined below) will be deemed a stock dividend
of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights
offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares
of Common Stock) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering and
(y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable
for shares of Common Stock, in determining the price payable for shares of Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration
received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “historical fair market
value” means the volume weighted average price of our Common Stock as reported during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading
day prior to the first date on which our Common Stock trades on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without
the right to receive such rights.
In addition, if we, at any time while the Private
Placement Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to all or
substantially all of the holders of the shares of Common Stock on account of such shares of Common Stock (or other securities into which
the Private Placement Warrants are convertible), other than (i) as described above, or (ii) any cash dividends or cash distributions
which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the shares of Common Stock during
the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution does not exceed $0.10 (as adjusted to appropriately
reflect any other adjustments and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the exercise price
or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Private Placement Warrant) but only with respect to the amount
of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.10 per share, then the Private Placement Warrant exercise
price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value
of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such event.
If the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar
event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Private Placement Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the Private Placement Warrant exercise
price will be adjusted by multiplying the Private Placement Warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction
(i) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants
immediately prior to such adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable
immediately thereafter.
In case of any reclassification or reorganization
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common
Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in
which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding shares of
Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety
or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the Private Placement Warrants will thereafter
have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Private Placement Warrants and
in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby,
the kind and amount of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Private Placement
Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their Private Placement Warrants immediately prior to such event. However, if
such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon
such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each Private Placement Warrant will
become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such consolidation
or merger that affirmatively make such election, and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders
under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate
or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any
such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of
the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder of a Private Placement Warrant will be entitled to receive the highest amount
of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if such Private Placement
Warrant holder had exercised the Private Placement Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer
and all of the shares of Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustment
(from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in
the Warrant Agreement. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of shares of Common Stock in such a transaction
is payable in the form of shares of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange
or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event,
and if the registered holder of the Private Placement Warrant properly exercises the Private Placement Warrant within thirty days following
public disclosure of such transaction, the Private Placement Warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement
based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the Private Placement Warrant. The purpose of such exercise
price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the Private Placement Warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during
the exercise period of the Private Placement Warrants pursuant to which the holders of the Private Placement Warrants otherwise do not
receive the full potential value of the Private Placement Warrants.
The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms
of the Private Placement Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or
correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the Warrant Agreement to the description of the terms of the Private Placement
Warrants and the Warrant Agreement set forth in the prospectus related to STPC’s initial public offering, or defective provision,
(ii) amending the provisions relating to cash dividends on shares of Common Stock as contemplated by and in accordance with the Warrant
Agreement or (iii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Warrant Agreement as
the parties to the Warrant Agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the
registered holders of the Private Placement Warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then-outstanding
Public Warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants.
The Private Placement Warrants may be exercised
upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form
on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price
(or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Private Placement Warrants
being exercised. The Private Placement Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock and any voting
rights until they exercise their Private Placement Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters
to be voted on by stockholders.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise
of the Private Placement Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional
interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Private
Placement Warrant holder.
We have agreed that, subject to applicable law,
any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the Warrant Agreement will be brought and enforced
in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and we irrevocably submit
to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. This provision applies
to claims under the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts
of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.
Annual Stockholder Meetings
Annual stockholder meetings will be held at a
date, time and place, if any, as exclusively selected by the Board. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we may conduct meetings
by means of remote communication.
Anti-Takeover Effects of the Charter, the Bylaws and Certain Provisions
of Delaware Law
The Charter, the Bylaws and the DGCL contain certain
provisions, as summarized in the following paragraphs, that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the
composition of the Board. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change
of control and enhance the ability of the Board to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us.
However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter, or prevent a merger or acquisition by means of a tender
offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that
might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of Common Stock held by stockholders.
| • | Issuance of undesignated Preferred Stock: Under the Charter, the Board has the authority, without further
action by the stockholders, to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock with rights and preferences, including voting
rights, designated from time to time by the Board. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock enables the Board
to make it more difficult to attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. |
| • | Election and removal of directors and board vacancies: The Charter provides that, in the event of a contested
election, directors will be elected by a plurality vote. The Charter and the Bylaws also provide that the Board has the right to increase
or decrease the size of the Board, provided there are at least five and no more than fifteen directors, and to fill vacancies on the Board.
Directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding
shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Only the Board is authorized to fill vacant directorships.
In addition, the number of directors constituting the Board may be set only by resolution adopted by a majority vote of the directors
then in office. These provisions prevent stockholders from increasing the size of the Board and gaining control of the Board by filling
the resulting vacancies with their own nominees. |
| • | Requirements for advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals: The Bylaws include advance
notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors that specify certain
requirements as to the timing, form and content of a stockholder’s notice. Business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of
stockholders will be limited to those matters properly brought before the meeting. These provisions may make it more difficult for our
stockholders to bring matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate directors at annual meetings of stockholders. |
| • | No written consent of stockholders: The Charter requires that, subject to the rights of the holders of any
series of Preferred Stock, all stockholder actions be taken by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting, and that stockholders
may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. This limit may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder
actions and would prevent the amendment of the Bylaws or removal of directors by our stockholders without holding a meeting of stockholders. |
| • | Stockholder ability to call special meetings: The Charter and Bylaws provide that our Secretary may call special
meetings of stockholders at the request of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of our capital
stock entitled to vote and only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special
meeting of stockholders. |
| • | Amendments to the Charter and the Bylaws: The Charter provides that, prior to September 29, 2024 (the
“Sunset Date”), which is the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the affirmative vote of at least 66-2∕3% of the
voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required
to (i) adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws or (ii) to amend or repeal articles in the Charter related to the Board, amendments
of our governing documents, stockholder actions, limitation of director liability and indemnification, mergers and other business combinations,
corporate opportunity, forum selection and certain miscellaneous provisions. On or after the Sunset Date, the Bylaws may be adopted, amended
or repealed, and such provisions of the Charter may be amended or repealed, by the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power
of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Bylaws may at all times be adopted, altered, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. |
| • | Business combinations: The Charter provides that, prior to the Sunset Date, (i) no acquisition of us
by another entity (subject to limited exceptions) and (ii) no sale of all or substantially all of our assets shall be valid unless
first approved by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to
vote on such matters, voting as a single class. On or after the Sunset Date, no event described in the preceding clauses (i) and
(ii) shall be valid unless first approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares
of our capital stock entitled to vote on such matters, voting as a single class. |
These provisions are designed to enhance the likelihood
of continued stability in the composition of the Board and its policies, to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve
an actual or threatened acquisition of us and to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. We also designed these
provisions to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, these provisions could have the effect of discouraging
others from making tender offers for our securities and, as a consequence, they may also reduce fluctuations in the market price of our
securities that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.
Delaware General Corporation Law Section 203
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject
to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination
specified in the statute with an interested stockholder (as defined in the statute) for a period of three years after the date of
the transaction in which the person first becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in advance by
a majority of the independent directors or by the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding disinterested shares. The application
of Section 203 of the DGCL could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control.
Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment
Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, our stockholders
have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect
appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares
as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.
Stockholders’ Derivative Actions
Under the DGCL, any of our stockholders may bring
an action in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the
action is a holder of our shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter
devolved by operation of law.
Exclusive Forum
The Charter provides that, unless we consent in
writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for (i) any
derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director,
officer or other employee to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any director, officer, or other
employee arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Charter or the Bylaws, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce,
or determine the validity of the Charter or the Bylaws, or (v) any other action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal
affairs doctrine, shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or another state court or the federal court located within
the State of Delaware if the Court of Chancery does not have or declines to accept jurisdiction), in all cases subject to the court’s
having jurisdiction over indispensable parties named as defendants. In addition, the Charter provides that the federal district court
for the District of Delaware (or, in the event such court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district courts of the United States)
will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act but that the forum
selection provision will not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Although we believe these
provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and proceedings,
the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us or our directors and officers. Although the Charter contains the
choice of forum provisions described above, it is possible that a court could find that such provisions are inapplicable for a particular
claim or action or that such provisions are unenforceable.
Conflicts of Interest
Delaware law permits corporations to adopt provisions
renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the corporation or its officers, directors, or stockholders.
The Charter, to the extent allowed by Delaware law, renounces any interest or expectancy that we have in, or right to be offered an opportunity
to participate in, specified business opportunities that are from time to time presented to our officers, directors or their respective
affiliates in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations
they may have, and we renounce any expectancy that any of our directors or officers will offer any such corporate opportunity of which
they may become aware to us, except with respect to any of our directors or officers regarding a corporate opportunity that was offered
to such person solely in his or her capacity as our director or officer and (i) such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually
permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for it to pursue and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer
that opportunity to us without violating any legal obligation.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate
the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary
duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary
damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not
permitted under the DGCL. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate our rights and the rights of our stockholders, through stockholders’
derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches
resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation does not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith,
knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her
actions as a director.
The Bylaws provide that we must indemnify and
advance expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We also are expressly authorized to carry
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees for
some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified
directors and executive officers.
The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification
provisions in the Charter and the Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary
duties.
These provisions also may have the effect of reducing
the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit
us and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage
awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
There is currently no pending material litigation
or proceeding involving our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.
Rule 144
Pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares
of our Common Stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed
to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject
to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding
the sale.
Persons
who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or
at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled
to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:
| • | 1% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding; or |
| • | the average weekly reported trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks
preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale. |
Sales
by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of
current public information about us.
Investor
Rights Agreement
In
connection with the Closing, STPC, the IRA Parties entered into the IRA, which became effective upon the Closing. Under the terms of the
IRA, we agreed to file a registration statement registering for resale under the Securities Act all of the Common Stock held by the IRA
Parties, including the Sponsor Shares and the Sponsor Earn Out Shares. In accordance with the IRA, the IRA Parties and their permitted
transferees are entitled to, among other things, customary registration rights, including demand, piggy-back and shelf registration rights,
with respect to their Founder Shares, their Private Placement Warrants (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof)
and certain other securities as described therein. The IRA also provides that we will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations
and indemnify the registration rights holders against (or make contributions in respect of) certain liabilities which may arise under
the Securities Act. In addition, until the third anniversary of the Closing Date and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the IRA,
the Sponsor will have the right, but not the obligation, to designate two individuals to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be,
for election to the Board.
Subscription
Agreements
Under
the terms of the Subscription Agreements, we agreed to file a registration statement registering for resale under the Securities Act all
of the PIPE Shares acquired by the PIPE Investors. We will use our commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness
of such registration statement, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such registration statement
is available or, if not available, that another registration statement is available for the resale of the PIPE Shares, until the earliest
of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the a PIPE Investor ceases to hold any such PIPE Shares
issued pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, or (iii) the first date on which a PIPE Investor is able to sell all of its PIPE Shares
issued pursuant to a Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 within 90 days without being
subject to the public information, volume or manner of sale limitations of such rule.
The
Subscription Agreements provide for customary rights of the Company to delay or postpone the effectiveness of such registration statement,
and from time to time to require the PIPE Investor not to sell under the such registration statement or to suspend the use thereof, provided
that the Company may not delay or suspend such registration statement on more than two occasions or for more than ninety consecutive calendar
days, or more than one hundred twenty total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. The Subscription Agreements also
provide that the Company, on the one hand, and each PIPE Investor, severally and not jointly with any other PIPE Investor, on the other
hand, will indemnify the other parties against certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act in connection with such registration
statement.
Listing
Our Common Stock and Public Warrants are traded
on the NYSE under the symbols “BHIL” and “BHIL WS,” respectively. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain
information, where applicable, as to any other listing, if any, on the NYSE or any securities market or other exchange of the Preferred
Stock covered by such prospectus supplement.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our capital
stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The transfer agent’s address is One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004, and its telephone number is (212) 509-4000.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The Selling Securityholders may, or may not, elect
to sell their shares of Common Stock, Private Placement Warrants or March 2022 Warrants covered by this prospectus as and to the
extent they may determine, including for such prices as they may determine, and we will not have any control or influence over those prices.
Such sales of Common Stock, if any, will be made through brokerage transactions on the NYSE or through other means. The sales price of
such Common Stock will be at prevailing market prices on the NYSE or otherwise. Sales of Private Placement Warrants and March 2022
Warrants, if any, will be made in privately negotiated transactions. The sales price for Private Placement Warrants and March 2022
Warrants will be determined in such privately negotiated transactions. We expect that the sales price of any such sales of Private Placement
Warrants and March 2022 Warrants will be primarily derived with reference to the market price of the shares of our Common Stock underlying
such Private Placement Warrants and March 2022 Warrants. For more information, see the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

First Registration Statement

Private Placement Warrants:
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, STPC, the holders of the Class B
Common Stock of STPC that were initially issued to the Sponsor on October 23, 2020, which shares later converted to Common Stock
of the Company in connection with the Closing (the “Founder Shares”), and certain equityholders of Legacy Benson
Hill (collectively, the “IRA Parties”), entered into that certain Investor Rights Agreement, which became effective
upon the Closing (the “IRA”). In accordance with the IRA, the IRA Parties and their permitted transferees are
entitled to, among other things, customary registration rights, including demand, piggy-back and shelf registration rights, with
respect to their Founder Shares, their Private Placement Warrants (including any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof)
and certain other securities as described therein. Pursuant to the IRA, we filed with the SEC the First Registration Statement, the
prospectus of which is combined and updated herein, to, among other things, register the resale of the Private Placement Warrants
and the shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon the exercise thereof. |
| • | PIPE Shares: In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, STPC entered into subscription agreements (each,
a “Subscription Agreement”) with certain third-party investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant
to which, among other things, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and STPC agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors,
the PIPE Shares in a private placement pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (the “PIPE”). The PIPE investment closed
simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, we filed with the SEC the First Registration
Statement, the prospectus of which is combined and updated herein, to, among other things, register the resale of the PIPE Shares. |
Second Registration Statement
| • | Sponsor Shares and Sponsor Earn Out Shares: Pursuant to the IRA, we filed with the SEC the Second Registration Statement,
the prospectus of which is combined and updated herein, to, among other things, register the resale of the Sponsor Shares and Sponsor
Earn Out Shares. |
Third Registration Statement
| • | March 2022 PIPE Shares and March 2022 Warrants: On March 24, 2022, the Company entered into subscription
agreements (“March PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “March PIPE Investors”)
providing for the private placement to the March PIPE Investors of an aggregate of 26,150,000 units (collectively, the “Units”).
Each Unit consisted of (i) one share of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase one-third of one share
of Common Stock. The closing of the Private Placement occurred on March 25, 2022. The March PIPE Subscription Agreements provides
for, among other things, certain registration rights pertaining to the registration for resale of the shares of Common Stock included
in the Units, the March 2022 Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the March 2022 Warrants. Pursuant
to the March PIPE Subscription Agreements, we filed with the SEC the Third Registration Statement, the prospectus of which is combined
and updated herein, to register the resale of the March 2022 Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof. |
The Selling Securityholders
This
prospectus relates to the possible resale by the applicable Selling Securityholders from time to time of up to:
| • | (i) 29,053,454 shares of Common Stock, including 6,553,454 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement
Warrants and 22,500,000 PIPE Shares and (ii) 6,553,454 Private Placement Warrants; |
| • | 89,628,274 shares of Common Stock, including 8,066,000 Sponsor Shares and 1,996,500 Sponsor Earn Out Shares; and |
| • | (i) 34,866,661 shares of Common Stock, consisting of up to (a) 26,150,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by the Selling
Securityholders and (b) 8,716,661 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the March 2022 Warrants and (ii) 39
March 2022 Warrants. |
We cannot advise you
as to whether the Selling Securityholders will in fact sell any or all of their respective shares of Common Stock, Private Placement Warrants
or March 2022 Warrants. In addition, the Selling Securityholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from
time to time, their respective Common Stock, Private Placement Warrants or March 2022 Warrants in transactions exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the Selling Securityholders
will have sold all of the securities covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering.
When we refer to the
“Selling Securityholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees,
assignees, successors, designees and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Securityholders’ interest in the common stock
other than through a public sale.
The
following table is prepared based on information provided to us by the Selling Securityholders. It sets forth the name and address of
the Selling Securityholders, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, Private Placement Warrants and March 2022 Warrants that
each of the Selling Securityholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus, and the beneficial ownership of the Selling Securityholders
both before and after the offering. For the avoidance of doubt, the table below also includes certain shares of Common Stock that are
currently held in escrow subject to forfeiture, which issued upon the closing of the Merger to certain of the Selling Securityholders,
pending the achievement of certain milestones related to the share price of the Common Stock detailed in the Merger Agreement (the “Earn
Out Shares”).
We have determined beneficial
ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any
other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the tables have sole voting and sole
investment power with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable.
Selling Securityholder
information for each additional Selling Securityholder, if any, will be set forth by prospectus supplement to the extent required prior
to the time of any offer or sale of such Selling Securityholder’s shares of Common Stock, Private Placement Warrants or March 2022
Warrants pursuant to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute, or change the information contained in this
prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Securityholder and the number of shares of Common Stock, Private Placement Warrants
and March 2022 Warrants registered on its behalf. A Selling Securityholder may sell or otherwise transfer all, some or none of such
shares and warrants in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

and (ii) 10,062,500 shares of our Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants.
We
are also registering the resale by the applicable Selling Securityholders or their permitted transferees of up to (i) 29,053,454 shares
of Common Stock, including (a) 6,553,454 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and
(b) the 22,500,000 PIPE Shares, (ii) 6,553,454 Private Placement Warrants, (iii) 89,628,274 shares of our Common Stock, including the

exercise of the March 2022 Warrants and (v) up to 39 March 2022 Warrants.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from
the sale of the securities by the Selling Securityholders. We will receive
proceeds from the Warrants in the event any such Warrants are exercised for cash. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling
Securityholders will be the purchase price of the securities less any discounts and commissions borne by the Selling
Securityholders.
The securities beneficially owned by the Selling
Securityholders covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Securityholders. The Selling
Securityholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders for brokerage,
accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders in disposing of the securities. We will
bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including,
without limitation, all registration and filing fees, NYSE listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered
public accountants.
The
Selling Securityholders will act independently of the Company in making their decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of
any sales. Each Selling Securityholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any
or all of their Common Stock covered hereby on the NYSE or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities
are traded. In addition, such persons may, from time to time, sell any or all of their Common Stock, Private Placement Warrants
and March 2022 Warrants in privately negotiated transactions. The Selling Securityholders will be responsible for commissions charged
by such broker-dealers or agents. Such securities covered hereby may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing
market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. We expect that the
sales price of any sales of Private Placement Warrants and March 2022 Warrants will be primarily derived with reference to the market
price of the shares of our Common Stock underlying such Private Placement Warrants and the March 2022 Warrants.
Subject to the limitations set forth in any applicable registration
rights agreement, the Selling Securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the securities offered by
this prospectus:
| • | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and
resale by the broker-dealer for its own account; |
| • | 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
securities 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; |
| • | 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 securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| • | an exchange distribution in accordance with the
rules of the applicable exchange; |
| • | through trading plans entered into by a Selling Securityholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the
Exchange Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement
hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans; |
| • | through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis; |
| • | settlement of short sales; |
| • | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree
with a Selling Securityholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; |
| • | in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated
prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly
on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales
agents; |
| • | directly to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process or in privately
negotiated transactions; |
| • | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise; |
| • | through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or |
| • | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Securityholders
may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Securityholders
(or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except
as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission
in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In addition, a Selling
Securityholder that is an entity may elect to make a pro rata in-kind distribution of securities to its members, partners or stockholders
pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus with a plan of distribution. Such
members, partners or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution through a registration
statement. To the extent a distributee is an affiliate of ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law), we may file a prospectus
supplement in order to permit the distributees to use the prospectus to resell the securities acquired in the distribution.
There can be no assurance
that the Selling Securityholders will sell all or any of the securities offered by this prospectus. In addition, the Selling Securityholders
may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or in other transactions exempt from registration,
rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer
or make any sale of securities if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The Selling Securityholders
also may transfer the securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will
be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by a Selling
Securityholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor- in-interest intends to sell our securities, we will, to the extent
required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a selling securityholder.
With respect to a particular
offering of the securities held by the Selling Securityholders, to the extent required, an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate,
a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part, will be prepared and will set forth the following
information:
| |
● |
the specific securities to be offered and sold; |
| |
● |
the names of the selling securityholders; |
| |
● |
the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the proceeds to be received from the sale, if any, and other material terms of the offering; |
| |
● |
settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus; |
| |
● |
the names of any participating agents, broker-dealers or underwriters; and |
| |
● |
any applicable commissions, discounts, concessions and other items
constituting compensation from the selling securityholders. |
In connection with distributions
of the securities or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions or create one or more derivative securities. 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 Securityholders. The Selling
Securityholders may also sell the securities short and redeliver the securities to close out such short positions. The Selling Securityholders
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 Securityholders
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).
In order to facilitate
the offering of the securities, any underwriters or agents, as the case may be, involved in the offering of such securities may engage
in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our securities. Specifically, the underwriters or agents, as
the case may be, may over allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in our securities for their own account. In
addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of our securities, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may bid
for, and purchase, such securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the
underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allotted to an underwriter or a broker-dealer for distributing such securities
in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in
stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent
market levels. The underwriters or agents, as the case may be, are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these
activities at any time.
The Selling Securityholders
may solicit offers to purchase the securities directly from, and it may sell such securities directly to, institutional investors or others.
In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. The terms of any of those sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction
process, if utilized, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
It is possible that one
or more underwriters may make a market in our securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any
market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for our securities. Our
Common Stock and Public Warrants are listed on the NYSE under the symbols “BHIL” and “BHIL WS”, respectively.
The Selling Securityholders
may authorize underwriters, broker-dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities at the public
offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified
date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus
supplement will set forth any commissions we or the Selling Securityholders pay for solicitation of these contracts.
A Selling Securityholder
may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately
negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may
sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the
third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Securityholder or borrowed from any Selling Securityholder or others to settle those
sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Selling Securityholder in settlement
of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter
and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Selling Securityholder
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 its 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 Securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive
commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In compliance with the
guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the aggregate maximum discount, commission, fees
or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed
8% of the gross proceeds of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.
If at the time of any
offering made under this prospectus a member of FINRA participating in the offering has a “conflict of interest” as defined
in FINRA Rule 5121 (“Rule 5121”), that offering will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions
of Rule 5121.
To our knowledge, there
are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the
sale of the securities by the Selling Securityholders. Upon our notification by a Selling Securityholder that any material arrangement
has been entered into with an underwriter or broker-dealer for the sale of securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange
distribution, secondary distribution or a purchase by an underwriter or broker-dealer, we will file, if required by applicable law or
regulation, a supplement to this prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act disclosing certain material information
relating to such underwriter or broker-dealer and such offering.
Underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents may facilitate the marketing of an offering online directly or through one of their affiliates. In those cases, prospective
investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and, depending upon the particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent, place
orders online or through their financial advisors.
In offering the securities
covered by this prospectus, the Selling Securityholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who execute sales for the Selling
Securityholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.
Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of those securities may be underwriting discounts and commissions
under the Securities Act.
The underwriters, broker-dealers
and agents may engage in transactions with us or the Selling Securityholders, or perform services for us or the Selling Securityholders,
in the ordinary course of business.
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.
The Selling Securityholders
and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions
may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by, the Selling Securityholders
or any other person, which limitations may affect the marketability of the shares of the securities.
We will make copies of
this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act. The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any agent, broker-dealer or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the
sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We
have agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or other federal or state law. Agents, broker-dealers and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us and the
Selling Securityholders against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect
to payments which the agents, broker-dealers or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
