Local Bounti Corporation ( (LOCL) ) has shared an update.
On March 13, 2026, Local Bounti Corporation entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with U.S. Bounti, LLC for a $15.0 million convertible note and a warrant to buy 5,500,000 common shares, with proceeds earmarked for working capital, general corporate purposes and specific capital expenditures. The note carries a 7.0% annual interest rate payable primarily in payment-in-kind for several years, converts at an initial price of $2.50 per share with automatic staged conversions on the fourth anniversary and at maturity, and is paired with a warrant exercisable at $0.125 per share, subject to NYSE-driven shareholder-approval caps and subordination to the company’s senior credit facility.
Conversion of the initial principal at the stated price would yield 6,000,000 new shares before any additional interest-related accretion, and all securities are being issued in a private placement relying on Securities Act exemptions. Also on March 13, 2026, Local Bounti amended its senior credit agreement via a letter with Cargill Financial Services International, Inc., relaxing minimum liquidity covenants to $3.5 million through September 30, 2026 and $2.0 million thereafter and deferring minimum EBITDA testing to March 31, 2027, changes that enhance near-term financial flexibility while securing lender consent for the new financing instruments.
The most recent analyst rating on (LOCL) stock is a Hold with a $2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Local Bounti Corporation stock, see the LOCL Stock Forecast page.
