Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).
Reverse Stock Split and Restated Charter
On August 15, 2025,the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) two Certificates of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to (1) decrease the par value of the Company’s common stock from $0.0001 to $0.0000001 per share (the “Par Value Change”) and increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 600,000,000 to 2,580,000,000 (the “Authorized Share Increase”), effective 4:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 18, 2025, and (2) effect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and proportionately decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock to 25,800,000 (the “Proportionate Authorized Share Decrease” and, together with the Par Value Change, Authorized Share Increase and Reverse Stock Split, the “Charter Amendments”), effective 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 18, 2025 (the “Reverse Split Effective Time”). The Charter Amendments were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and by stockholders of the Company at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 28, 2025, as detailed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for such annual meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 18, 2025 (as supplemented by the proxy supplement filed with the SEC on July 17, 2025).
At the Reverse Split Effective Time, every 100 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically reclassified and combined into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share at the registered holder and participant level with The Depository Trust Company. Proportionate adjustments were made to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards. With respect to the Company’s warrants, every 100 shares of common stock that may be purchased pursuant to the exercise of warrants prior to the Reverse Split Effective Time

represent one share of common stock that may be purchased pursuant to such warrants following the Reverse Split Effective Time. Correspondingly, the exercise price per share of such warrants has been proportionately increased, such that the exercise price per share of such warrants immediately following the Reverse Stock Split is $1,150, which equals the product of 100 multiplied by $11.50, the exercise price per share immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split.
The Reverse Stock Split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity (other than as a result of the rounding of shares to the nearest whole share in lieu of issuing fractional shares).
The Company’s common stock and public warrants began trading on a post-split basis at market open on August 19, 2025, and continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “LNZA” and “LNZAW”, respectively. The new CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 51655R200. The CUSIP number for the Company’s public warrants has not changed.
Additionally, on August 15, 2025, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Charter”) that became effective at 5:01 p.m. Eastern Time on August 18, 2025. The Restated Charter (1) reflects the Charter Amendments (other than the Authorized Share Increase, which was superseded by the Proportionate Authorized Share Decrease), and (2) otherwise merely restates and integrates but does not further amend the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as theretofore amended or supplemented. The Restated Charter was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company without a vote of stockholders of the Company pursuant to Section 245 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The foregoing description of the Restated Charter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Restated Charter, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company has a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-279239) and a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-271387) on file with the SEC. SEC regulations permit the Company to incorporate by reference future filings made with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the termination of the offerings covered by registration statements filed on Form S-3 or Form S-8. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of the prospectus included within each of those registration statements. Information under the heading “Reverse Stock Split and Restated Charter” in this Item 5 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is therefore intended to be automatically incorporated by reference into each of the active registration statements listed above, thereby amending them. Pursuant to Rule 416(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the amount of undistributed shares of the Company’s common stock deemed to be covered by the effective registration statements of the Company described above is proportionately reduced as of the Reverse Split Effective Time to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Executive Transition
As previously disclosed, the Company announced that Aura Cuellar would step down from her role as the Company’s President. In connection with Ms. Cuellar’s transition, which became effective as of August 15, 2025, Ms. Cuellar and the Company entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release, dated as of August 18, 2025, pursuant to which Ms. Cuellar is entitled to (i) cash severance in the amount of $350,000, (ii) the employer portion of the COBRA premiums for up to 12 months, and (iii) a prorated annual bonus for 2025 based on actual performance, in each case, subject to execution of a release of claims and continued compliance with restrictive covenants consisting of an employee non-solicitation covenant for 12 months following termination of employment, a non-disparagement covenant for two years following termination of employment, and a perpetual non-disclosure covenant. Ms. Cuellar and the Company also entered into a Consulting Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2025, pursuant to which Ms. Cuellar will maintain an advisory role with the Company to assist in her transition and to provide other related support through November 15, 2025, for which she will be paid up to $4,000 in the aggregate, and be subject to restrictive covenants including an employee and customer non-solicitation covenant during the consulting period and for 12 months thereafter, a non-competition covenant during the consulting period and for six months thereafter, and a perpetual confidentiality covenant.
