PROSPECTUS

Intuitive Machines, Inc.

Up to $100,000,000

Class A Common Stock

We have entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) relating to the sale of shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), offered by this prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 of our Class A Common Stock from time to time through Cantor, acting as our agent.

Sales of our Class A Common Stock, if any, under this prospectus will be made in sales deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in ordinary brokers’ transactions, to or through a market maker, on or through the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) or any other market venue where our Class A Common Stock may be traded, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, or through a combination of any such methods of sale. If we and Cantor agree on any method of distribution other than the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock on or through the Nasdaq or another existing trading market in the United States at market prices, we will file a prospectus supplement providing all information about such offering as required by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. Cantor is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities but will act as our sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between Cantor and us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

Under the Sales Agreement, we may also sell shares of Class A Common Stock to Cantor as principal for its own account, at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares to Cantor as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with Cantor, and we will describe the agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

The compensation to Cantor for the sales of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be an amount up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of any shares of Class A Common Stock sold under the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sale of our Class A Common Stock on our behalf, Cantor may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation paid to Cantor may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Cantor with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 13 for additional information regarding the compensation to be paid to Cantor.

Our Class A Common Stock and public warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (“Public Warrants”) are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols “LUNR” and “LUNRW,” respectively. On March 25, 2024, the closing price of our Class A Common Stock was $6.15 per share and the closing price of our Public Warrants was $1.61 per warrant.

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” under the federal securities laws and are subject to reduced disclosure and public reporting requirements. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company.”

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein include industry position and industry data and forecasts that we obtained or derived from internal company reports, independent third-party publications and other industry data. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Some data are also based on good faith estimates, which are derived from internal company analyses or review of internal company reports as well as the independent sources referred to above.

Although we believe that the information on which we have based these estimates of industry position and industry data are generally reliable, the accuracy and completeness of this information is not guaranteed and we have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon therein. Statements as to industry position are based on market data currently available. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry data presented herein, these estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these publications and reports.

RISK Factors

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors and all of the other information included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including those in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents we file with the SEC, together with other information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering, before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related To This Offering and Our Class A Common Stock

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may invest or spend the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not yield a return on your investment.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section titled “Use of Proceeds,” as well as our existing cash, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding such application. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used effectively. Our management might not apply the net proceeds or our existing cash in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering or our existing cash in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected results, which could cause our stock price to decline. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term U.S. Treasury securities with low rates of return. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders.

If you purchase our Class A Common Stock in this offering, you may incur immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares.

If you invest in our Class A Common Stock, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent the price per share you pay in this offering is higher than the net tangible book value per share of our Class A Common Stock immediately after this offering. Our net tangible book value of our Class A Common Stock as of December 31, 2023 was approximately negative $53.419 million, or negative $2.54 per share. Net tangible book value per share of our Class A Common Stock is total tangible assets less our total liabilities divided by the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023. On March 25, 2024, the last reported sale price of our Class A Common Stock was $6.15 per share. Because the sales of the shares offered hereby will be made directly into the market, the prices at which we sell these shares will vary and these variations may be significant. The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our Class A Common Stock outstanding prior to this offering, in which case investors will incur immediate and substantial dilution. In addition, to the extent we need to raise additional capital in the future and we issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for our common stock, our then existing stockholders may experience dilution and the new securities may have rights senior to those of our Class A Common Stock offered in this offering. Purchasers of the shares we sell, as well as our existing stockholders, will experience significant dilution if we sell shares at prices significantly below the price at which they invested. To the extent any outstanding stock options or warrants are exercised or restricted stock units are settled, there will be further dilution to new investors. For a further description of the dilution that you may experience immediately after this offering, see the section titled “Dilution.”

The actual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement entered into by us with Cantor and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to Cantor at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by Cantor after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on the market price of our Class A Common Stock during the sales period and limits we set with Cantor. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our Class A Common Stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued or the resulting gross proceeds.

The Class A Common Stock offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and accordingly may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. In addition, subject to the final determination by the Board or any restrictions we may place in any applicable placement notice, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

Even if we sell all of the shares offered hereby, we may continue to seek external sources of financing to fund operations in the future.

We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to expand and develop, and we may need additional capital from external sources. Accordingly, while we may from time-to-time raise gross proceeds of up to a maximum of $100,000,000 through the issuance of shares under the Sales Agreement, we may need to raise additional capital in the future to further scale our business and expand to additional markets. We may raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities, or through obtaining credit from financial institutions. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when needed, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. If we raise funds through the issuance of debt securities or through loan arrangements, the terms of such financings could require significant interest payments, contain covenants that restrict our business, or otherwise include unfavorable terms. In addition, to the extent we raise funds through the sale of additional equity securities, our stockholders would experience additional dilution.

Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on our Class A Common Stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell shares of our Class A Common Stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

We may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and have no current plans to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends as a public company in the future will be made at the discretion of the Board and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of any existing and future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in our Class A Common Stock unless you sell your shares of our Class A Common Stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

Sales of a significant number of shares of Class A Common Stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our Class A Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We have agreed, without the prior written consent of Cantor, and subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Sales Agreement, not to sell or otherwise dispose of any Class A Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire Class A Common Stock during the period beginning on the fifth trading day immediately prior to the delivery of any placement notice delivered by us to Cantor and ending on the fifth trading day immediately following the final settlement date with respect to the shares sold pursuant to such notice. We have further agreed, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Sales Agreement, not to sell or otherwise dispose of any Class A Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire Class A Common Stock in any other “at the market offering” or continuous equity transaction prior to the later of (i) the sixtieth day immediately following the final settlement date with respect to shares sold pursuant to such placement notice and (ii) the termination of the Sales Agreement with Cantor. Therefore, it is possible that we could issue and sell additional shares of our Class A Common Stock in the public markets. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our Class A Common Stock would have on the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

Use of Proceeds

We may, from time to time, issue and sell up to $100,000,000 of our Class A Common under this prospectus. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition of this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement as a source of financing.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include research and development costs, potential strategic acquisitions, services or technologies, working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. Pending the use of the net proceeds described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. However, we have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds to be received by us from this offering for any of these purposes. As a result, management will retain broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds we receive from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds.

DILUTION

If you invest in our Class A Common Stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Class A Common Stock after giving effect to this offering.

Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 was approximately negative $53.419 million, or negative $2.54 per share. Net tangible book value per share is determined by our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the number shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding.

After giving effect to the assumed sale by us of up to $100,000,000 of Class A Common Stock at an assumed public offering price of $6.15 per share of Class A Common Stock, which was the last reported sale price of our Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq on March 25, 2024, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 would have been approximately $43.256 million, or $1.16 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $3.70 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $2.65 per share to investors purchasing our Class A Common Stock in this offering at the assumed public offering price. The following table illustrates this accretion on a per share basis:

The number of shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding is based on an aggregate of 21,029,876 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023, and excludes:

•        70,909,012 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exchange of 70,909,012 Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units and the related shares of Class C Common Stock that are held by certain Intuitive Machines Members;

•        5,557,384 shares of Class A Common Stock (as of December 31, 2023) issuable upon the conversion of 26,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were originally issued to the Series A Investors;

•        706,522 shares of Class A Common Stock (as of December 31, 2023) issuable upon the exercise of the Preferred Investor Warrants at an exercise price of $11.50 per share;

•        21,930,384 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants at an exercise price of $11.50 per share;

•        18,823,532 shares of Class A Common Stock (at an exercise price per share equal to $2.75 per share) issuable upon the exercise of the Initial PIPE Warrants and the New PIPE Warrants;

•        8,301,560 shares of Class A Common Stock (at an exercise price per share equal to $2.57 per share), Class C Common Stock (at an exercise price per share equal to $0.0001 per share) or a combination thereof, issuable upon the exercise of the Conversion Warrants;

•        10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of 10,000,000 Intuitive Machine OpCo earn out units and the related shares of Class C Common Stock that may be issued to certain Intuitive Machines Members in connection with certain triggering events;

•        12,706,811 shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for future grant or issuance under the Intuitive Machines, Inc. 2023 Long Term Omnibus Incentive Plan; and

•        1,520,040 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exchange of 1,520,040 Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units and the related shares of Class B Common Stock that may be issued to certain Intuitive Machines Members upon exercise of outstanding options to purchase such Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units.

To the extent that outstanding convertible securities or options are exercised, restricted stock units or performance stock units are settled, new options, performance stock units, restricted stock units or restricted stock awards are issued, including under the 2023 Long Term Omnibus Incentive Plan, and subsequently exercised or settled or we issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Class A Common Stock or substantially similar securities in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

plan of distribution

We have entered into the Sales Agreement with Cantor. Pursuant to this prospectus, we may offer and sell up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 of Class A Common Stock from time to time through Cantor acting as sales agent. A copy of the Sales Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to our registration statement on Form S-3 of which this prospectus forms a part.

Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Cantor may sell shares of our Class A Common Stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. We may instruct Cantor not to sell shares of Class A Common Stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us from time to time. We or Cantor may suspend the offering of Class A Common Stock upon notice and subject to other conditions.

We will pay Cantor commissions, in cash, for its service in acting as agent in the sale of our Class A Common Stock. Cantor will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the sales price per share sold under the Sales Agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse Cantor for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of their legal counsel in an amount not to exceed (a) $75,000 in connection with the execution of the Sales Agreement, (b) $25,000 per calendar quarter thereafter pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, and (c) $25,000 for each program “refresh” (filing of a new registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement relating to the Class A Common Stock and/or an amendment of the Sales Agreement) executed pursuant to the Sales Agreement. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation and reimbursements payable to Cantor under the terms of the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $225,000.

Settlement for sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock will occur on the second business day following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and Cantor in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our Class A Common Stock as contemplated in this prospectus will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Cantor may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

Cantor will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its sales and trading practices, to solicit offers to purchase the Class A Common Stock under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock on our behalf, Cantor will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of Cantor will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Cantor against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The offering of shares of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein. We and Cantor may each terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon ten days’ prior notice.

Cantor and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M, Cantor will not engage in any market making activities involving our Class A Common Stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus.

This prospectus may be made available in electronic format on a website maintained by Cantor, and Cantor may distribute this prospectus electronically.

Legal Matters

The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Latham & Watkins LLP, Houston, Texas. Cantor is being represented in connection with this offering by DLA Piper LLP (US), New York, New York.
