Insights

Intuitive Machines secures significant $300M convertible note offering, strengthening its financial position for space exploration growth initiatives.

Intuitive Machines has successfully upsized and priced a private offering of $300 million in convertible senior notes due 2030, representing a $50 million increase from the previously announced offering size of $250 million. The company also granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase an additional $45 million in notes, potentially bringing the total to $345 million.

The 2.500% convertible notes will yield approximately $291.8 million in net proceeds after deducting initial purchasers' discounts and commissions. These notes are convertible into Intuitive Machines' Class A common stock at an initial conversion rate of 76.2631 shares per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to an initial conversion price of $13.1125 per share � representing a 25% premium over the last reported sale price of $10.49.

Notably, $32 million of the proceeds will fund capped call transactions designed to offset potential dilution from conversions. The capped call has an initial price of $20.98 per share, double the current share price, indicating management's confidence in significant upside potential.

The remaining proceeds will support general corporate purposes, operations, R&D, and potential acquisitions, providing Intuitive Machines with substantial financial flexibility. This capital raise strengthens the company's position in the competitive space exploration sector, enabling continued innovation and strategic expansion opportunities in lunar and space infrastructure development. The successful upsizing suggests strong institutional investor confidence in the company's business model and growth trajectory in the rapidly evolving commercial space industry.

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 the pricing of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.500% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes�) in a private offering (the “Notes Offering�) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act�). Intuitive Machines also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes in the Notes Offering an option to purchase, for settlement within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the offering was increased from the previously announced offering size of $250.0 million (or $287.5 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full). The Notes Offering is expected to close on August 18, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

Use of Proceeds:

Intuitive Machines estimates that the net proceeds from the Notes Offering will be approximately $291.8 million (or approximately $335.5 million if the initial purchasers� option to purchase additional Notes is exercised in full), after deducting the initial purchasers� discounts and commissions, but before giving effect to estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. Intuitive Machines intends to use approximately $32.0 million 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.

Additional Details of the Notes:

The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Intuitive Machines. The Notes will accrue interest at an annual rate of 2.500%, 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.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 1, 2030, noteholders will have the right to convert their Notes only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods. On or after July 1, 2030, and until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding July 1, 2030, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time regardless of these conditions. The initial conversion rate will be 76.2631 shares of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.1125 per share of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock, which represents a premium of approximately 25.0% over the last reported sale price of $10.49 per share of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on August 13, 2025). The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, upon certain corporate events or upon a notice of redemption (as described below), Intuitive Machines will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for Noteholders who convert Notes in connection with such a corporate event or notice of redemption. Intuitive Machines will settle conversions of Notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, at Intuitive Machines� election.

The Notes will not be redeemable at Intuitive Machines� option prior to October 6, 2028. Intuitive Machines may, at its option, redeem all or any portion of the Notes for cash on or after October 6, 2028 and prior to the 26th trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain liquidity and other conditions have been satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Noteholders will have the right, subject to certain conditions and exceptions described in the indenture governing the Notes (the “indenture�), to require Intuitive Machines to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change� (as defined in the indenture) at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date.

Capped Call Transactions:

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Intuitive Machines entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions (the “option counterparties�). The capped call transactions 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. The cap price of the capped call transactions is initially $20.9800 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of Intuitive Machines� Class A common stock of $10.49 per share on the Nasdaq Global Market on August 13, 2025, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.

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.
