Analysis · LNZA · Industrial Applications And Services
This Schedule 13D/A filing reveals that Vinod Khosla and his affiliated investment vehicles now collectively hold a controlling 64.2% beneficial ownership in LanzaTech Global, Inc. This significant increase in ownership stems from the conversion of 20 million shares of Series A Convertible Senior Preferred Stock into common shares and the issuance of a warrant to purchase an additional 7.8 million common shares at a nominal exercise price. While the underlying transactions were previously disclosed in an 8-K on January 23, 2026, this filing formalizes the resulting shift in corporate control.
