Filing Summary: This document is an amendment (Amendment No. 4) to the previous Schedule 13 filings made by S2G Investments, LLC regarding its beneficial ownership in Benson Hill, Inc. The issuer, along with eight of its affiliates, filed for voluntary relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on March 20, 2025, under Case No. 25-10539 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The bankruptcy cases are jointly administered, and the court has approved bidding and sale procedures for the assets of the Debtors. On May 22, 2025, a hearing was held where the court entered an order approving the sale of the Debtors' assets to the Winning Bidder, which includes the Reporting Person. The sale, finalized on May 23, 2025, occurred free and clear of all liens and claims. The Reporting Person anticipates that the remaining business of the Debtors will undergo liquidation, resulting in the cancellation of all common stock shares, and thereby ceasing its beneficial ownership of more than five percent of the issuer's equity securities.

Filing Summary: Benson Hill, Inc. has filed a Notification on Form 12b-25 regarding its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The company has been unable to file the report on time due to liquidity issues and insufficient financial resources to pursue its long-term strategy. In light of these challenges, the company is contemplating potential actions, including filing for bankruptcy protection to reorganize, or court-supervised sale or liquidation of its assets. The filing indicates that the company is actively considering ways to protect its intellectual property and remaining financial resources, amid significant expected changes in its operational results due to prior divestitures, reduced operating expenses, and potential impairments. This heavily anticipated financial restructuring process reflects the gravity of the company's current situation.
