Danimer Scientific Completes Dividend Distribution of Warrants to Stockholders

Danimer Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: DNMR) (“Company” or “Danimer Scientific”), a leading next generation bioplastics company focused on the development and production of biodegradable materials, today announced the completion of a previously announced pro-rata dividend distribution of warrants (“Dividend Warrants”) to holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), as of May 13, 2024 (“Record Date”). The stockholders of record as of the Record Date received one (1) Dividend Warrant for every three (3) shares of Common Stock held as of the Record Date, subject to downward rounding. Holders of our 3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (“Convertible Notes”) and our pre-funded common stock purchase warrants dated March 25, 2024 (collectively, “other eligible recipients”) as of the Record Date received Dividend Warrants on a pass-through basis. As an example, a stockholder who owns 3,000 shares of Common Stock received 1,000 Dividend Warrants, and a stockholder who owns 1,000 shares of Common Stock received 333 Dividend Warrants. The Dividend Warrants are expected to trade on the OTCQX market commencing on July 15, 2024 under the anticipated symbol “DNMRW” and are separate from Danimer Scientific’s Common Stock, which will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DNMR”.

The holders of the Dividend Warrants may exercise the Dividend Warrants by using cash or, during the periods and in the manner specified in the warrant agreement, the Company’s outstanding Convertible Notes. The Dividend Warrants include a provision that provides an additional one-half share of Common Stock to holders (“Bonus Share Fraction”) that exercise the Dividend Warrant prior to the Bonus Share Expiration Date (defined below).

Additional Details on Warrant Distribution

Each Dividend Warrant entitles the holder to purchase, at the holder’s sole and exclusive election, one share of Common Stock plus, if applicable and as described below, the Bonus Share Fraction, at an initial exercise price of $5.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”).

Dividend Warrant holders may exercise their Dividend Warrants with cash or, after July 26, 2024, with the Company’s Convertible Notes at face value, as specified under the terms of the warrant agreement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes is equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of 200 Dividend Warrants. The right of Dividend Warrant holders to exercise their respective Dividend Warrants by delivering Convertible Notes will terminate on the Bonus Share Expiration Date.

The Dividend Warrants are redeemable by the Company, upon 20 calendar days’ notice, from and after the first trading day following the date on which the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the shares of Common Stock has been at least equal to a specified price, initially equal to the Exercise Price, for at least 20 trading days each falling on or after August 1, 2024 (whether or not consecutive) out of 30 consecutive trading days. Any unredeemed Dividend Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. on July 15, 2025.

Additional Details on Bonus Share Fraction

The Bonus Share Fraction feature referenced above entitles a holder of a Dividend Warrant to receive an additional one-half of a share of Common Stock for each Dividend Warrant exercised under certain circumstances without payment of any additional exercise price. The right to receive the Bonus Share Fraction will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the first trading day (“Bonus Share Expiration Date”) following the date on which the VWAP of the shares of Common Stock has been at least equal to a specified price, initially $2.00 per share, for at least 20 trading days each falling on or after August 1, 2024 (whether or not consecutive) out of 30 consecutive trading days (“Bonus Share Expiration Price Condition”). Any Dividend Warrant exercised after the Bonus Share Expiration Date will not be entitled to the Bonus Share Fraction.

The Company will make a public announcement of the Bonus Share Expiration Date prior to market open on the Bonus Share Expiration Date if the Bonus Share Expiration Price Condition is met.

Other Information

A Q&A regarding this warrant distribution is available in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website under the “Resources” tab, https://ir.danimerscientific.com/.

The distribution of the Dividend Warrants has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), because the issuance of a warrant for no consideration is not a sale or disposition of a security or interest in a security for value pursuant to Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act. The Company filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, dated July 12, 2024, to the prospectus, dated June 5, 2024 (together, the “Prospectus”), each included within the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-279371), to register the shares of Common Stock underlying the Dividend Warrants.
