Insights
Intuitive Machines is raising up to $287.5M through convertible notes with anti-dilution protections, bolstering its financial position for R&D and potential acquisitions.
Intuitive Machines is raising
The company is simultaneously implementing capped call transactions as an anti-dilution strategy. These hedging instruments effectively raise the conversion premium on the notes, protecting existing shareholders by reducing the potential dilution if/when notes convert to equity. This sophisticated capital structure optimization demonstrates management's focus on balancing growth funding needs with shareholder value preservation.
The intended use of proceeds spans general corporate purposes, operations, R&D, and potential acquisitions. This suggests the company is positioning for both organic growth through internal innovation and inorganic growth through strategic acquisitions, likely aimed at expanding its space exploration and infrastructure capabilities.
This transaction follows the typical pattern for growth-stage companies in capital-intensive industries: raising convertible debt allows them to secure funding at potentially more favorable terms than straight debt while delaying the dilutive impact of equity issuance. For space technology companies like Intuitive Machines, substantial capital is required for development cycles, and this raise provides runway to advance their technological initiatives and commercial space endeavors.
HOUSTON, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intuitive Machines, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR) (“Intuitive Machines� or the “Company�), a leading space exploration, infrastructure, and services company, announced today its intent to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors,
The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Intuitive Machines, will accrue interest at an annual rate payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2026. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, at Intuitive Machines� election. The interest rate, initial conversion rate, and other terms of the Notes are to be determined upon pricing of the Notes Offering.
Intuitive Machines intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below. Intuitive Machines intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes, including operations, research and development and potential acquisitions. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, Intuitive Machines expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties (as defined below), with the remainder of the net proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, including operations, research and development and potential acquisitions.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Intuitive Machines expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the Notes or affiliates thereof and/or other financial institutions (the “option counterparties�). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock initially underlying the Notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments Intuitive Machines is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
Intuitive Machines has been advised that in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock and/or purchase shares of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock or the Notes at that time.
In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock and/or purchasing or selling Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock or other securities of Intuitive Machines in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so during the 25 trading day period beginning on the 26th scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date of the Notes, or, to the extent Intuitive Machines exercises the relevant termination election under the capped call transactions, following any repurchase, redemption or conversion of the Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock or the Notes, which could affect a noteholder’s ability to convert the Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of Notes, it could affect the number of shares of Class A common stock, if any, and value of the consideration that a noteholder will receive upon conversion of its Notes.
Notices

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the Notes or any shares of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation, or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is unlawful.
