Danimer Scientific Announces Intention to Complete a Reverse Stock Split

Business Wire
Expected to Begin Trading on a 1-for-40 Reverse
Split-Adjusted Basis on November 13, 2024
Danimer Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: DNMR) (“Danimer” or “Company”),
a leading, next-generation biotechnology company focused on the
production of biomaterials, announced today that, following
approval by the Company’s stockholders and its Board of Directors,
the Company will effect a reverse stock split (“Reverse Stock
Split”) of Danimer’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share (“Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-40 (the “Reverse Stock
Split Ratio”), which ratio was determined by the Board of Directors
from within a range of ratios authorized by the stockholders. The
Reverse Stock Split is expected to become effective on November 12,
2024, after close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange
(“NYSE”). The Common Stock is expected to begin trading on a
split-adjusted basis when the markets open on November 13, 2024,
under the existing trading symbol “DNMR” and new CUSIP number
(236272 407).
The Company believes the Reverse Stock Split will increase the
price per share of the Common Stock and thus enable it to regain
compliance with the price criteria of Section 802.01C of the NYSE
Listed Company Manual (the “Minimum Share Price Rule”).
Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every 40
shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will be
automatically converted into one share of issued and outstanding
Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of
the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would
be entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock will be
entitled to receive the equivalent value of such fractional shares
in cash. The Company does not anticipate that the aggregate cash
amount it will pay in respect of fractional interests will be
material. The Reverse Stock Split affects all stockholders
uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest
in the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, except for any such
adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional
shares.
Proportionate adjustments will be made to the number of shares
of Common Stock underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards
and warrants, and the number of shares issuable under its equity
incentive plans and other existing agreements, as well as the
exercise price or conversion price, as applicable, of the Company’s
outstanding equity awards, warrants and convertible notes. The
Company’s warrants listed on the OTCQX market under the symbol
“DNMRW” will continue to trade on that market using that symbol and
the existing CUSIP. The Reverse Stock Split will not decrease the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock and will not affect the
par value of the Common Stock.
Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company will serve as the
exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Registered stockholders
holding shares of Common Stock electronically in book-entry form
are not required to take any action. Those stockholders who hold
their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” will have
their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock
Split, subject to each brokers’ particular processes, and will not
be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock
Split.
Additional information about the Reverse Stock Split can be
found in Danimer’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on
September 23, 2024, which is available free of charge at the SEC’s
