Danimer Scientific Announces Intention to Complete a Reverse Stock Split
Expected to Begin Trading on a 1-for-40 Reverse Split-Adjusted Basis on
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.
