This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus dated February 16, 2021 (as supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Prospectus”), which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-252515). This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the Prospectus with the information contained in our current report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2021 (the “Current Report”). Accordingly, we have attached the Current Report to this prospectus supplement. The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the issuance by us of up to an aggregate of up to 16,279,253 shares of our Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), which consists of (i) up to 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon the exercise of 6,000,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) originally issued in a private placement in connection with the initial public offering of Live Oak Acquisition Corp., our predecessor company (“Live Oak”), (ii) up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon the exercise of 10,000,000 warrants (the “Public Warrants” and, together with the Private Warrants, the “Warrants”) originally issued in the initial public offering of Live Oak and (iii) up to 279,253 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Non-Plan Legacy Danimer Options. We will receive the proceeds from any exercise of any Warrants for cash.

 

The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement also relate to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in the Prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”), or their permitted transferees, of (i) up to 32,435,961 shares of Common Stock (including up to 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of the Private Warrants) and (ii) up to 6,000,000 Private Warrants. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the Private Warrants by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement.

 

Our registration of the securities covered by the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement does not mean that the Selling Securityholders will offer or sell any of the shares. The Selling Securityholders may sell the shares of Common Stock covered by the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell the shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

 

Our Common Stock and Public Warrants are listed on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “DNMR” and “DNMR WS,” respectively. On May 14, 2021, the closing price of our Common Stock was $17.72 and the closing price for our Public Warrants was $6.81.

 

This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 14, 2021, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York by Darryl Keith Rosencrants, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated against Danimer Scientific, Inc., Stephen E. Croskrey, John A. Dowdy, III, John P. Amboian, Richard J. Hendrix, Christy Basco, Philip Gregory Calhoun, Gregory Hunt, Isao Noda, and Stuart W. Pratt (collectively, “Defendants”).

The alleged class consists of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Danimer securities between December 30, 2020 and March 19, 2021 (the “Class Period”).  Plaintiff is seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ alleged violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

The complaint is premised upon various allegations that throughout the Class Period, Defendants allegedly made materially false and misleading statements regarding, among other things, Danimer’s business, operations, and compliance policies.

Plaintiff seeks the following remedies: (i) determining that the lawsuit may be maintained as a class action under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, (ii) certifying Plaintiff as the class representative, (iii) requiring Defendants to pay damages allegedly sustained by Plaintiff and the class by reason of the aforesaid acts alleged in the complaint, and (iv) awarding Plaintiff and the other members of the class pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, as well as their reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other costs.

The complaint repeats certain allegations, which are already in the public domain.  Defendants deny the allegations contained in the complaint, believe this lawsuit is without any merit and intend to defend it vigorously.
