EXPLANATORY NOTE

On November 12, 2024, we effected a 1-for-40 reverse stock split. All share and per share information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not account for this reverse stock split. For more information, please see Note 15 - Subsequent Events.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained herein, as well as in other filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other written and oral information we release, regarding our future performance constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things, the impact on our business, operations and financial results of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East (each of which, among other things, may affect many of the items listed below); our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity by realizing near-term revenue growth and related cash returns and preserving cash until such cash returns, if any are obtained; the demand for our products and services; revenue growth; effects of competition; supply chain and technology initiatives; inventory and in-stock positions; state of the economy; state of the credit markets, including mortgages, home equity loans, and consumer credit; access to available capital to meet our operating requirements and to service our debt instruments; the effect on our borrowing facilities of an event of default, including if an Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm that includes disclosure regarding going concern; impact of tariffs; demand for credit offerings; management of relationships with our employees, suppliers and vendors, and customers; international trade disputes, natural disasters, public health issues (including pandemics and related quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and similar restrictions), and other business interruptions that could disrupt supply or delivery of, or demand for, our products or services; continuation of equity programs; net earnings performance; earnings per share; capital allocation and expenditures; liquidity; return on invested capital; expense leverage; stock-based compensation expense; commodity price inflation and deflation; the ability to issue debt on terms and at rates acceptable to us; the impact and expected outcome of investigations, inquiries, claims, and litigation; the effect of accounting charges; the effect of adopting certain accounting standards; the impact of regulatory changes; financial outlook; our ability to maintain our exchange listing; and the integration of acquired companies into our organization and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of those acquisitions.

Forward-looking statements are based on currently available information and our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. You should not rely on our forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond our control, dependent on the actions of third parties, or currently unknown to us – as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors and elsewhere in this report and as also may be described from time to time in future reports we file with the SEC. You should read such information in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this report.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Danimer Scientific, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Company”, “Danimer”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), is a performance polymer company specializing in bioplastic replacements for traditional petroleum-based plastics. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DNMR”.

The Company (formerly Live Oak Acquisition Corp. (“Live Oak”)), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 24, 2019 as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Live Oak completed its initial public offering in May 2020. On December 29, 2020 (“Closing Date”), Live Oak consummated a business combination (“Business Combination”) with Meredian Holdings Group, Inc. (“MHG” or “Legacy Danimer”), with Legacy Danimer surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Oak. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, meaning that Legacy Danimer was treated as the accounting acquirer and Live Oak was treated as the accounting acquiree. Effectively, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Danimer issuing stock for the net assets of Live Oak, accompanied by a recapitalization. In connection with the Business Combination, Live Oak changed its name to Danimer Scientific, Inc. On August 11, 2021, we closed the acquisition of Novomer, Inc. (integrated into our business as “Danimer Catalytic Technologies”).

Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The financial statements consolidate all assets and liabilities of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. We have made certain reclassifications to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. As a result, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”).

We do not have any material items of other comprehensive income (loss); accordingly, there is no difference between net loss and comprehensive loss and we have not presented a separate Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) that would otherwise be required.

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates or our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Strategic Reorganization and Other Charges

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we announced the pending retirement of our Chief Executive Officer. ~~which~~This has resulted in approximately $0.32 million and $0.5 million in expense related to the ~~related~~associated transition and retirement agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Additionally, we launched a reduction in force and curtailed certain non-core product development activities and recorded $0.43 million and $0.7 million in strategic reorganization and other related charges, primarily related to severance costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

In July 2024, we temporarily suspended our Danimer Catalytic Technologies business, including additional reduction in force, to further capital conservation. There were no asset impairments associated with this suspension, but we do expect to record additional strategic reorganization and other related charges in the quarter ending ~~September~~December 3031, 2024 that will reduce the immediate cost savings realized.

~~Risks~~Risk, Uncertainties and ~~Uncertainties~~Going Concern

~~Preparation~~We ofhave prepared the financial statements is on a going concern basis ~~of presentation according to GAAP~~, which assumes that we will continue our operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, we believe that, with our history of negative cash flows and our current lack of financial resources, substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that would be necessary if we became unable to continue as a going concern.

Historically, we have ~~financed~~funded ~~our~~working ~~operations~~capital, ~~through~~capital ~~issuance~~expenditures, ~~of equity~~ and ~~debt financings, such as~~ our ~~senior~~day-to-day ~~secured~~operations ~~term~~through ~~loan,~~issuance ~~convertible~~of ~~notes,~~equity ~~new~~(see ~~market~~Note ~~tax~~10) ~~credit transactions~~ and ~~our~~debt ~~asset-based~~financings ~~lending~~(see ~~arrangement as described in~~ Note 9). We ~~These~~do ~~financings~~not have ~~been~~a ~~used~~history toof ~~fund~~generating ~~working~~cash ~~capital,~~flow ~~capital~~from ~~expenditures, and our day-to-day~~ operations.

Based on our current plans and projections, we believe our unrestricted cash resources of $40.3 million and $27.4 million in working capital at June 30, 2024, will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for more than one year from when these financial statements were issued.

Our ability to generate revenues ~~in the near-term~~ is highly dependent on the successful commercialization of our biopolymer products, which is subject to certain risks and uncertainties. AsEven if the market for our products expands, we anticipate that it will take time for our PHA sales and production to ~~ramp-up~~reach to an ~~economical~~economic scale sufficient to fund our operations. AsIn ~~a result, we have experienced significant losses and negative cash flows in recent years and this may continue in~~ the ~~near-term~~meantime, as we incur costs and expenses for the continued development and expansion of our business, including the costs of enhancing manufacturing capacity and ongoing product research and development., ~~The~~as ~~amounts~~well weas ~~spend~~significant ~~will~~costs ~~impact~~to make interest payments on our ~~ability~~debt. toAs ~~become~~a ~~profitable~~result, ~~and~~we ~~this~~have ~~spending~~experienced ~~will~~significant ~~depend,~~losses inand ~~part,~~negative oncash ~~the~~flows ~~number~~from ofoperations ~~new~~in ~~products~~recent ~~that~~years weand ~~attempt~~this tomay ~~develop~~continue in the near term.

~~Our long-term success is largely based on our PHA-based resin go-to-market strategy and the effective development of alternative biodegradable resin products to support a variety of end-use cases.~~ We are in discussions with, and in certain instances have begun production for, large restaurant chains and consumer goods companies and their converters to expand the use of our PHA-based resins in cutlery, straws, single-use food packaging and films. ~~Customer~~We ~~trends~~believe ~~and~~these ~~government~~customers ~~regulations~~will ~~are~~order ~~moving~~in ~~toward~~sufficient ~~non-petroleum-based~~volumes ~~plastics;~~in ~~however, due to recent economic conditions, including~~ the ~~COVID-19~~next ~~pandemic~~year ~~and supplemental supply chain disruptions, decreased Eastern European demand due~~ to ~~the~~allow ~~conflict in Ukraine, and rising inflation,~~ our ~~projected~~per-unit ~~sales~~cost ~~growth has shifted into later periods. As a result~~ of ~~these~~production ~~developments, we have taken actions~~ to ~~reduce~~decrease ~~our operating costs across all areas of the business and to more closely monitor our liquidity position. For example~~significantly, weresulting ~~have~~in ~~reduced discretionary spending, reduced labor costs through employee headcount rationalization,~~ increased ~~senior~~cash ~~management~~flow ~~focus on collections of accounts receivable, postponed certain capital expenditures, and launched an initiative to reduce on-hand inventory levels to respond to the business environment~~generation. We have also temporarily suspended operations at our Danimer Catalytic Technologies business to further capital conservation. If these plans are insufficient to sustain our liquidity, we expect to take further actions, which could include identifying alternative funding sources, to preserve sufficient liquidity.

However, these volumes may not materialize or we may not be able to produce sufficient inventory profitably. In order to preserve cash until these expected sales reach their full potential, we have taken actions to reduce our operating costs across all areas of the business and to more closely monitor our liquidity position. For example, we have reduced discretionary spending, reduced labor costs through employee headcount rationalization, increased senior management focus on collections of accounts receivable, postponed certain capital expenditures, and launched an initiative to reduce on-hand inventory levels. We have also temporarily suspended operations at our Danimer Catalytic Technologies business to further capital conservation. We also expect to take further actions, which could include securing alternative funding sources or restructuring existing debt facilities, to preserve our liquidity as we work towards achieving a sustainable capital structure for our operations, but there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.

In addition, if substantial doubt continues to exist as of December 31, 2024 and our filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm that includes disclosure regarding going concern, that would constitute an event of default under our Senior Secured Term Loan, which would cause cross-default of substantially all of our debt. (See Note 9).

Construction in progress consists primarily of the early phases of construction of our PHA plant in Bainbridge, Georgia (“Greenfield Facility”) as noted in the table below. We do not have expected in-service dates for our Greenfield Facility, since we have paused major construction. We will need to obtain additional financing to complete our Greenfield Facility. In 2022, the engineering cost estimate ranged from $515 million to $665 million, which does not consider any effect of subsequent inflation, and if we do not obtain financing, our investment could be impaired.

Note 4. Intangible Assets

Our recognized intangible assets consist of patents and the unpatented technological know-how of Danimer Catalytic Technologies. Our legacy patents were initially recorded at cost. The values of Danimer Catalytic Technologies’ patents and unpatented know-how are inseparable and represent their acquisition-date fair value, less subsequent amortization.

We capitalize patent defense and application costs and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 10 to 20 years. Our intangible portfolio has an estimated weighted average useful life of 1716.08 years.

Intangible assets, net, consisted of the following:

Note 6. Income Taxes

We reported immaterial income tax expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024, which resulted in an effective income tax rate of zero percent. We reported an income tax ~~benefits~~expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 of $0.15 million and $0.23 million, respectively, which resulted in effective income tax rates of 0-1.1618% and -0.2027%, respectively. Our effective tax rates differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to our valuation allowances against substantially all of our net deferred income tax assets.

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods at which time those temporary differences become deductible.

In making valuation allowance determinations, we consider all available evidence, positive and negative, affecting specific deferred income tax assets, including the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, the length of carry-back and carry-forward periods, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At ~~June~~September 30, 2024, we maintained a full valuation allowance against our net deferred income tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding realization of such assets.

Note 8. Warrant Liability

Private Warrants

At ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 3,914,525 outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, which were privately placed prior to the Business Combination (“Private Warrants”). The Private Warrants have been exercisable since May 7, 2021. On December 28, 2025, any then-outstanding Private Warrants will expire.

The Private Warrants meet the definition of derivative instruments and are reported as liabilities at their fair values at each period end, with changes in the fair value of the Private Warrants recorded as a non-cash loss or gain. A rollforward of the Private Warrants liability is below.

Common Warrants

On March 25, 2024, we closed a registered direct offering of our common stock that included accompanying warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock (“Common Warrants”).

The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $1.33 per share, are exercisable beginning on September 25, 2024, and expire on September 25, 2029. The Common Warrants meet the definition of derivative instruments and are reported as liabilities at their fair values at each period end, with changes in the fair value of the Common Warrants recorded as a non-cash loss or gain.

Dividend Warrants

On July 12, 2024, we distributed 46,756,215 warrants to purchase shares of common stock (“Dividend Warrants”) to stockholders, holders of Pre-Funded Warrants and holders of Convertible Notes, in each case as of the record date of May 13, 2024. Each Dividend Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock plus, if applicable, a bonus share fraction of one-half of one share of our common stock, at an initial exercise price of $5.00 per Dividend Warrant. Any remaining unexercised Dividend Warrants expire on July 15, 2025.

In addition to Dividend Warrants being exercisable for cash, beginning on July 26, 2024, and subject to the terms and conditions of the warrant agreement, holders of Dividend Warrants can also exercise their Dividend Warrants with Convertible Notes at face value, meaning that one Convertible Note having a principal amount of $1,000 may be surrendered as consideration to exercise 200 Dividend Warrants. We plan to retire any Convertible Notes surrendered to pay the exercise price for Dividend Warrants. As of September 30, 2024, we had retired $8.1 million of our 3.25% Convertible Notes, resulting in a $6.8 million gain on early extinguishment of debt. At September 30, 2024, 45,128,594 Dividend Warrants remain outstanding.

The Dividend Warrants meet the definition of derivative instruments and are reported as liabilities at their fair values at each period end, with changes in the fair value of the Dividend Warrants recorded as a non-cash loss or gain. A rollforward of the Dividend Warrants liability is below.

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes

On December 21, 2021, we issued $240 million principal amount of our 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (“Convertible Notes”), subject to an indenture (“Indenture”).

The Convertible Notes are our senior, unsecured obligations and accrue interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2022. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares, at our election. The initial conversion rate, which is subject to change, is approximately $10.79 per share of common stock. If certain liquidity conditions are met, we may redeem the Convertible Notes between December 19, 2024 and October 20, 2026. The Convertible Notes mature on December 15, 2026.

11On July 12, 2024, we completed the distribution of Dividend Warrants as described in Note 8. In addition to Dividend Warrants being exercisable for cash, beginning on July 26, 2024 and subject to the terms and conditions of the warrant agreement governing the Dividend Warrants, holders of Dividend Warrants could also exercise their Dividend Warrants with Convertible Notes at face value, meaning that one Convertible Note having a principal amount of $1,000 may be surrendered as consideration to exercise 200 Dividend Warrants. Convertible Notes surrendered to pay the exercise price for Dividend Warrants will be retired. As of September 30, 2024, we have retired $8.1 million of previously outstanding convertible notes resulting in a gain on extinguishment of $6.8 million.

one Convertible Note having a principal amount of $1,000 may be surrendered as consideration to exercise 200 Dividend Warrants. Convertible Notes surrendered to pay the exercise price for Dividend Warrants will be retired.

Capped Calls

Also in December 2021, in connection with the Convertible Notes, we purchased call options (“Capped Calls”) from certain well-capitalized financial institutions for $35 million. The Capped Calls permit us to require the counterparties to deliver to us shares of our common stock, subject to a capped number of shares. We may also net-settle the Capped Calls and receive cash instead of shares. We have not exercised any of the Capped Calls at ~~June~~September 30, 2024, and the Capped Calls expire on April 12, 2027.

Senior Secured Term Loan

On March 17, 2023, we closed a $130 million principal amount senior secured term loan (“Senior Secured Term Loan”). The Senior Secured Term Loan is secured by substantially all of our assets, other than the assets of Danimer Catalytic Technologies and assets associated with the Greenfield Facility. The Senior Secured Term Loan matures on the earlier of March 17, 2027 or September 15, 2026 if more than $100 million of the existing Convertible Notes remain outstanding on that date. After payment of the lender’s expenses, including the first three years of premiums for a collateral protection insurance policy for the benefit of the lender, we received net proceeds of $98.6 million. The Senior Secured Term Loan accrues interest at a stated annual rate of 14.4%, payable monthly. As part of the Senior Secured Term Loan agreement, we are required to hold $12.5 million in an interest-payment reserve account, which we have reported as restricted cash.

~~The~~Upon the occurrence of certain events, including a Fundamental Change, the acceleration of the Convertible Notes, Revolving Credit Agreement or certain other debt or outstanding obligations, or our filing of an Annual Report on Form 10-K containing a Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm that includes disclosure regarding going concern, the principal balance under the Senior Secured Term Loan ~~contains~~may ~~various~~accelerate ~~customary~~and ~~covenants,~~become ~~which~~due weimmediately. doIf ~~not~~such ~~expect~~acceleration were to ~~have~~occur, that would cause a ~~material~~cross-default ~~impact~~of onsubstantially ~~our~~all ~~liquidity~~of orour ~~capital~~other ~~resources~~debt.

In connection with the Senior Secured Term Loan, we also issued warrants with a five-year maturity to the lender to purchase 1.5 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. We determined the fair value of these warrants as of the closing date was $0.5 million using the Black-Scholes model and included this amount in additional paid-in capital.

New Markets Tax Credit Transactions

We entered into financing arrangements under the New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) program with various unrelated third-party financial institutions (individually and collectively referred to as “Investors”), which then invest in certain “Investment Funds”.

In each of the financing arrangements, we loaned money to the Investment Funds. These loans of $31.4 million are recorded as leveraged loan receivables asat ofSeptember ~~June~~ 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Each Investment Fund then contributed the funds from our loan and the Investor’s investment to a special purpose entity, which then in turn loaned the contributed funds to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

We believe these borrowings, and our related loans to the Investment Funds, will be forgiven in 2026 and 2029.

~~Asset-based~~Revolving ~~Lending~~Credit Agreement

On April 19, 2024, we entered into an asset-based lending agreement (“Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for borrowings under a revolving commitment of $20.0 million. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Credit Agreement, we may request an increase in the Revolving Commitment by an amount between $2.5 million and $5.0 million. The amount of the Revolving Commitment available for borrowing at any given time is $18.5 million, subject to a borrowing base formula that is based upon our accounts receivable and inventory, as more fully described in the Revolving Credit Agreement. We are required to borrow a minimum of 50% of the calculated weekly borrowing base formula at all times. At September 30, 2024, the remaining availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is $4.8 million.

Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Agreement accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 7%, and any unused Revolving Commitment accrues an unused facility fee at an annual rate of 0.5%, each payable monthly. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on April 19, 2027; however, certain provisions exist that can accelerate the maturity date. The Revolving Credit Agreement also contains other customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, which we do not expect to have any material effect. The Revolving Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on all of our accounts receivable and inventory and the proceeds thereof and certain other assets as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Insurance Premium Finance Notes

In December 2023 and June 2024, we entered into financing agreements related to the premiums of certain insurance policies. Each of these notes have a one-year term and bear interest at 8.24% and 8.49%, respectively.

Vehicle and Equipment Notes

We have ~~twelve~~eleven vehicle and equipment notes outstanding at ~~June~~September 30, 2024, primarily relating to motor vehicles and warehouse equipment. We make monthly payments on these notes at interest rates ranging from 3.75% to 6.99%.

Mortgage Notes

We have a mortgage note secured by a residential property. This note bears interest at 5.25% with a maturity date in May 2025.

Please see Note 15 - Subsequent Events for further detail regarding the reverse stock split.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share. AsAt ofSeptember ~~June~~ 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.

Non-Plan Legacy Danimer Options

Prior to 2017, Legacy Danimer had issued 208,183 stock options that were not a part of either the 2016 Executive Plan or the 2016 Omnibus Plan. These options had a weighted average exercise price of $30 per share. On December 29, 2020, the then-remaining 30,493 of these options were converted to options to purchase 279,255 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $3.28 per share. During 2021, 153,763 of these options were exercised. There were 125,492 of these options remaining outstanding at ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Equity Distribution Agreement

On September 7, 2022, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Manager”), under which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock “at the market” from time-to-time with an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million (“ATM Offering”). Under the ATM Offering, the Manager may sell small volumes of our common stock at the prevailing market price, during such times and on such terms as we have predesignated. We have no obligation to sell any shares and may at any time suspend offers and sales that are part of the ATM Offering and may terminate the ATM Offering without penalty. On a life-to-date basis, we have issued 590,661 shares at an average price of $2.72 resulting in proceeds of $1.4 million. We incurred life-to-date issuance costs of $1.4 million, which were primarily one-time costs, but which also included less than $0.1 million in commissions to the Manager. ~~On March 20, 2024, we amended the prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering to reduce the amount available for~~

Senior Secured Term Loan Warrants

On March 17, 2023, we issued warrants to purchase 1.5 million shares of our common stock for $7.50 per share in connection with the closing of the Senior Secured Term Loan. These warrants were accounted for as an equity arrangement and were included in additional paid-in-capital at ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and 2023. These warrants expire on March 17, 2028.

Pre-Funded Warrants

On March 25, 2024, we completed a registered direct offering for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of 11,250,000 shares of our common stock, as well as pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of our common stock (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $15.0 million less customary closing fees.

The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and expire on March 26, 2029. The Pre-Funded Warrants were accounted for as an equity arrangement and were included in additional paid-in-capital at ~~June~~September 30, 2024. WeThe ~~also determined that the~~ Pre-Funded Warrants ~~should~~are be included in the determination of basic earnings per share ~~in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share~~.

~~During~~At ~~the~~September ~~three months ended June~~ 30, 2024, ~~2,174,000~~all ~~pre~~Pre-~~funded~~Funded ~~warrants~~Warrants ~~were~~had been exercised, resulting in an immaterial cash receipt. ~~There were 1,576,000 pre-funded warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and they were subsequently exercised on July 10, 2024.~~

Note 11. Revenue

We evaluate financial performance and make resource allocation decisions based upon the results of our single operating and reportable segment; however, we believe presenting revenue split between our primary revenue streams of products and services best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and certainty of our net sales and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

We generally produce and sell finished products, for which we recognize revenue upon shipment. We provide for expected returns based on historical experience and future outlook. Variable consideration such as discounts, rebates, or volume discounts that we estimate to reduce our transaction price are not material.

We defer certain contract fulfillment costs and amortize these costs to cost of revenue on a per-pound basis as we sell the related product or when the related contracts expire. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and 2023, amortization of these contract fulfillment costs was immaterial. At each of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had gross contract fulfillment costs of $1.3 million and net contract fulfillment costs of $1.1 million, which were included in other assets.

Our research and development (“R&D”) services contract customers generally pay us at the commencement of the agreement and then at additional intervals as outlined in each contract. We recognize contract liabilities for such payments and then recognize revenue as we satisfy the related performance obligations. To the extent collectible revenue recognized under this method exceeds the consideration received, we recognize contract assets for such unbilled consideration.

1415

R&D contract assets, net were $34.95 million and $3.7 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The long-term portion of these assets were $1.0.1 million and $0.7 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in other assets. Revenue recognized that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was not material for any period presented.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

We grant various forms of stock-based compensation, including restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and performance-based restricted stock units under our Danimer Scientific, Inc. 2020 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Incentive Plan”) and employee stock purchase plan instruments under our 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2020 ESPP Plan”).

We also have outstanding employee and director stock options that were issued prior to the Business Combination under legacy stock plans.

The 2020 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, and full value awards. Full value awards include restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance stock and performance stock units.

On ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 18,~~831~~005,~~616~~154 shares and 4,823,519 shares, respectively, of our common stock remained authorized for issuance with respect to awards under the 2020 Incentive Plan.

The 2020 ESPP Plan provides for the sale of our common stock to our employees through payroll withholding at a discount of 15% from the lower of the closing price of our common stock on the first or last day of each biannual offering period. Up to 2,571,737 shares of our common stock were authorized to be issued under this plan, and we issued ~~136~~250,~~530~~549 shares during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024 resulting in ~~401~~515,~~748~~767 shares issued since the inception of the plan.

These share pool limits are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other changes in our capitalization.

The following table sets forth the allocation of our stock-based compensation expense.

15We recognize the compensation expense for these shares on a straight-line basis from the grant date through the relevant vesting dates, which range from one to three years. We recognized $0.2 million and $4.7 million of expense related to these awards during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We recognized $0.6 million and $9.2 million of expense related to these awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We recognize the compensation expense for these shares on a straight-line basis from the grant date through the relevant vesting dates, which range from one to three years. We recognized $0.2 million and $4.7 million of expense related to these awards during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We recognized $0.5 million and $9.2 million of expense related to these awards during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Market-based Restricted Stock

During 2021, we granted 1,517,840 shares of restricted stock for which the restrictions lapse on successive thirds of the award on the first date the volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock equals or exceeds $24.20 for any 20 trading dates within 30-day trading periods beginning on December 29, 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. These awards were fully amortized at December 31, 2023. We recognized $4.6 million and $913.39 million of related expense during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023. During 2023, we instituted a cash settlement feature for certain of these awards if the 2020 Incentive Plan does not have enough shares remaining to fulfill these awards at the time of vesting. As such, 754,818 of the 1,517,840 shares of market-based restricted stock are accounted for as liabilities that are marked to market each period. We maintained a liability of $0.3 million as a result of this feature as of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. All of these shares remained outstanding at ~~June~~September 30, 2024.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

During 2021, we initiated a Performance-based RSU program. Under this program, each participant is awarded a number of units (“PRSU”s) that may vest based on our performance against one or more specified metrics, with 50% to 100% of these PRSUs vesting proportionally with achieved threshold and target attainment levels. We previously had certain PRSUs that contained a cash settlement feature and we accounted for these PRSUs as liabilities that are marked to market using the price of our common stock at the end of each reporting period with a life-to-date expense adjustment. These 824,698 outstanding cash-settleable PRSUs were forfeited during the ~~six~~nine months ending ~~June~~September 30, 2024 in association with the transition and retirement agreement of the Chief Executive Officer. As such, we relieved the previously-maintained $0.1 million long-term liability associated with these awards.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we recognized related compensation expense of ~~zero~~$0.1 million and $0.3 million. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we recognized related compensation expense of ~~zero~~$0.2 million and less than $0.1 million. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. We recognize expense on a straight-line basis between the dates of grant and the vesting dates, which we anticipate will be in March 2025, February 2026 and April 2027, for awards granted in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Our performance did not meet the required conditions for vesting for the PRSUs that were scheduled to vest in February 2024 and accordingly they expired unvested during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024. We are currently assuming 100% attainment of our 2026 and 2025 metrics and 0% attainment of our 2024 metrics. All of the PRSUs granted in 2022, 2023 and 2024 remained outstanding at ~~June~~September 30, 2024.

The following table summarizes pertinent facts related to PRSU grants, with threshold and target dollar and production capacity figures given in millions.

Stock Appreciation Rights

On April 3, 2024, we awarded 1,732,854 stock appreciation rights or (“SARs”). The weighted average grant price of these awards was $1.06 and the weighted average grant date fair value of these awards was $0.61. These SARs vest ratably on April 3, 2025, April 3, 2026 and April 3, 2027. We recognized $0.12 million in expense for these awards during the ~~three~~nine ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024.

The aggregate intrinsic values are calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the indicated stock options and the fair value of our common stock on ~~June~~September 30, 2024.

There were no stock options granted during the three or ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024.

We granted 204,254 share-settled options with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.17 during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

We also granted 1,050,000 stock options with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.17 that contained a cash-settlement feature if adequate shares were not available to settle the award by the vesting dates. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024, we recognized aexpense ~~benefit~~ of $0.2 million and ~~expense of~~ $0.13 million, respectively for all outstanding cash-settleable stock options. For the ~~three~~nine ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we recognized ~~a benefit of $0.2 million and~~ expense of $0.4 million, ~~respectively~~ for all cash-settleable stock options. We maintained long-term liabilities of $01.70 million and $0.1 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to our outstanding cash-settleable stock options.

AsAt ofSeptember ~~June~~ 30, 2024, there was $3.65 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options and restricted shares granted under the 2020 Incentive Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 10.19 years.

Note 13. Fair Value Considerations

GAAP defines “fair value” as the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer. GAAP also sets forth a framework for measuring fair value utilizing a three-tier hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

Level 1

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were measured using quoted market prices in active markets and represent Level 1 investments. Our other financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The ~~June~~September 30, 2024 fair value of our Convertible Notes, based on trades made around that date, was approximately $35.7 million.

We set the values of our restricted stock unit and restricted stock awards without market-based vesting provisions on their respective grant dates at the closing price of a share of our common stock on each grant date.

We re-value our restricted stock unit awards that include a cash settlement feature each month at the closing price of a share of our common stock on the last trading day of the month, or $0.6045 at ~~June~~September 30, 2024.

We re-value our dividend warrant liability at the end of each reporting period using the closing price of a share our of Dividend Warrants on the last trading day of the period, or $0.08 at September 30, 2024.

Level 2

We valued our restricted stock awards that contain a market-based vesting provision on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation, which takes into account a large number of potential stock price scenarios over time and incorporates varied assumptions about volatility and exercise behavior for those various scenarios. These assumptions are based on market data but cannot be directly observed.

We estimated the fair value of our Senior Secured Term Loan based on an analysis of market activity since loan inception at ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and determined it was approximately $5154.9 million.

Level 3

We value our stock options, ESPP instruments, Private Warrants and Common Warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the respective grant dates. We re-value the Private Warrants, Common Warrants and any stock options with a cash-settlement feature at the end of each period. Since our stock price history as a publicly traded company is shorter in duration than the expected lives of our options (other than ESPP instruments), we use the historical volatility of a group of peer companies in combination with our own historical volatility to assess expected volatility. We have not paid and do not currently anticipate paying a cash dividend on our common stock, so we have set the expected annual dividend yield to zero for all calculations. We used risk-free rates equal to the U.S. Treasury yield curves in effect as of each valuation date for durations equal to the expected lives of each instrument. We use the simplified method under Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, defined as the mid-point between the vesting period and the contractual term for each option, to determine the expected lives of stock-settled stock options and we use the remaining contractual lives of ESPP instruments, Private Warrants, Common Warrants, and stock options with a cash-settlement feature as their expected lives.

The following table sets forth the ~~calculated fair values and the~~ associated ranges of values we used for period remeasurement and ~~for~~the ~~new~~calculated ~~grants~~fair invalues from our Black-Scholes calculations for stock options, other than ESPP.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In connection with our 2007 acquisition of certain intellectual property, we agreed to pay royalties to Procter & Gamble upon production and sale of PHA. The royalty was $0.05 per pound for the first 500 million pounds of PHA sold and decreased to $0.025 per pound for cumulative sales in excess of that amount until the underlying patents expire. On March 17, 2023, we terminated this royalty agreement. We retained all intellectual property associated with the agreement. We forfeited all prepaid royalties as part of this termination and recorded a loss on forfeiture of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Litigation Matters

On May 14, 2021, a class action complaint was filed by Darryl Keith Rosencrants in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, on May 18, 2021, a class action complaint was filed by Carlos Caballeros in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, on May 18, 2021, a class action complaint was filed by Dennis H. Wilkins also in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, and on May 19, 2021, a class action complaint was filed by Elizabeth and John Skistimas in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Each plaintiff or plaintiffs brought the action individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated against the Company.

The alleged class varies in each case but covers all persons and entities other than Defendants who purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between October 5, 2020 and May 4, 2021 (“Class Period”). Plaintiffs are seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ alleged violations of the federal securities laws and are pursuing remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaints are substantially similar and are each premised upon various allegations that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding, among other things, our business, operations and compliance policies.

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

On July 29, 2021, the Georgia court transferred the Georgia cases to New York, and all four class actions have been consolidated into a single lawsuit in the Eastern District of New York.

On January 19, 2022, a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (“Amended Complaint”) was filed in the Eastern District of New York, naming as defendants the Company, its directors and certain of its officers as well as certain former directors (collectively, “Defendants”). The Amended Complaint is brought on behalf of a class consisting of (i) purchasers of shares of the Company during the Class Period, (ii) all holders of the Company’s Class A common stock entitled to vote on the merger transaction between the Company and Meredian Holdings Group, Inc. consummated on December 28, 2020 and (iii) purchasers of Company securities pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 that was declared effective on December 16, 2020 or the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective on February 16, 2021. The Amended Complaint asserts claims for violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10(b)-5(a)-(c) promulgated thereunder and Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Plaintiffs seek the following remedies: (a) a determination that the lawsuit is a proper class action pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and certifying Plaintiffs as class representative, (b) awarding compensatory and punitive damages allegedly sustained by the class members by reason of the acts set forth in the Amended Complaint and (c) awarding pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and other costs. On September 30, 2023, the court issued an Order granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss in full, dismissing Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice, and denying Plaintiffs’ request for leave to amend. OnThe ~~October~~Plaintiffs appealed and, on September 27, ~~2023~~2024, the ~~Plaintiffs~~Second ~~filed~~Circuit aCourt ~~notice~~ of ~~appeal~~Appeals affirmed the District Court’s Order dismissing the Amended Complaint. To date, ~~which~~no ~~remains~~further ~~pending~~appeal has been filed by the Plaintiffs.

19On May 24, 2021, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by Richard Delman on behalf of the Company, alleging breach of fiduciary duty against the Company’s directors. On October 6, 2021, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by Ryan Perri on behalf of the Company, alleging breach of fiduciary duty against the Company’s directors. On February 9, 2023, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by Samuel Berezin on behalf of the Company, alleging breach of fiduciary trust against the Company’s directors. All three shareholder derivative lawsuits repeated certain allegations which are already in the public domain. Subsequent to the decision of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals noted above, each of the three shareholder derivative lawsuits was voluntarily dismissed by the party filing the respective complaint.

On May 24, 2021, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by Richard Delman on behalf of the Company, alleging breach of fiduciary duty against the Company’s directors. On October 6, 2021, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by Ryan Perri on behalf of the Company, alleging breach of fiduciary duty against the Company’s directors. On February 9, 2023, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by Samuel Berezin on behalf of the Company, alleging breach of fiduciary trust against the Company’s directors. All three shareholder derivative lawsuits have been stayed pending the outcome of Defendants’ motion to dismiss the securities class actions. These derivative complaints repeat certain allegations which are already in the public domain. Defendants deny the allegations of the above complaints, believe the lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.

We provide for costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. Since we are unable to estimate the likelihood of incurring a loss, or the amount of loss, if any, related to these matters, we have not accrued any losses for these matters at June 30, 2024. Legal and administrative costs related to these matters are expensed as incurred.

~~Additionally,~~The atnumber of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the ~~Annual~~lapsing ~~Meeting~~of restrictions for restricted stock, ~~our~~RSUs, ~~stockholders~~and ~~approved~~PRSUs aand ~~proposal~~upon toany ~~increase~~exercise ~~the~~or ~~number~~conversion of ~~shares~~warrants, ofthe ~~our~~Convertible ~~common~~Notes, stock ~~available~~options, ESPP instruments, or SARS, was divided by 40, rounded down, for ~~issuance~~the ~~under~~reverse ~~our~~stock ~~2020~~split. ~~Incentive~~As ~~Plan~~applicable, the exercise or conversion price for such instruments was multiplied by 740,~~000~~ such that upon exercise or conversions,~~000~~ the aggregate price payable by the instrument holder after the reverse stock split for shares of Common Stock will remain approximately the same as the aggregate price prior to the reverse stock split.

~~Dividend~~The ~~Warrant~~reverse ~~Transaction~~stock split did not change the authorized number of shares or the par value of our Common Stock, nor modified any related voting rights. The share counts reported herein do not account for the reverse stock split.

On July 12, 2024, following approval by our stockholders of the Share Increase Proposal, we completed a distribution of warrants to purchase shares of common stock (“Dividend Warrants”) to stockholders, holders of Pre-Funded Warrants, and holders of Convertible Notes, in each case as of the record date of May 13, 2024. 22

Each holder of record of our common stock as of the record date received one Dividend Warrant for every three shares of our common stock held as of the record date, rounded down to the nearest whole number for any fractional Dividend Warrant. Other eligible recipients that held Convertible Notes or Pre-Funded Warrants as of the record date received Dividend Warrants based on the same ratio in the manner determined by the agreements governing such securities and the warrant agreement. In connection with this transaction, a total of 46,756,215 Dividend Warrants were distributed to our stockholders, Convertible Note holders, and Pre-Funded Warrant holders.

Each Dividend Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock plus, if applicable, a bonus share fraction of one-half of one share of our common stock, at an initial exercise price of $5.00 per Dividend Warrant. The Dividend Warrants trade on the OTCQX market. In addition to Dividend Warrants being exercisable for cash, beginning on July 26, 2024, and subject to the terms and conditions of the warrant agreement, holders of Dividend Warrants could also exercise their Dividend Warrants with Convertible Notes at face value, meaning that one Convertible Note having a principal amount of $1,000 may be surrendered as consideration to exercise 200 Dividend Warrants. Convertible Notes surrendered to pay the exercise price for Dividend Warrants will be retired.

As of August 8, 2024, we have retired $6.1 million of our 3.25% Convertible Notes.

Introductory Note

2123

purchase, recapitalization, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Live Oak completed its initial public offering in May 2020. On December 29, 2020 (“Closing Date”), Live Oak consummated a business combination (“Business Combination”) with Meredian Holdings Group, Inc. (“MHG” or “Legacy Danimer”), with Legacy Danimer surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Oak. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, meaning that Legacy Danimer was treated as the accounting acquirer and Live Oak was treated as the accounting acquiree. Effectively, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Danimer issuing stock for the net assets of Live Oak, accompanied by a recapitalization. In connection with the Business Combination, Live Oak changed its name to Danimer Scientific, Inc. On August 11, 2021, we closed the acquisition of Novomer, Inc. (integrated into our business as “Danimer Catalytic Technologies”).

Overview

We are a performance polymer company specializing in bioplastic replacement for traditional petroleum-based plastics. We bring together innovative technologies to deliver biodegradable bioplastic materials to global consumer product companies. We believe that we are the only commercial company in the bioplastics market to combine the production of a base polymer along with the reactive extrusion capacity in order to give customers a “drop-in” replacement for a wide variety of petroleum-based plastics. We derive our revenue primarily from product sales of PHA- and PLA-based resins as well as from services such as contract research and development and tolling.

PHA-Based Resins: We are a leading producer of polyhydroxyalkanoate (“PHA”), a key biodegradable ingredient in a wide range of engineered materials that are plastic alternatives, which we sell under the proprietary Nodax brand name, for use in a wide variety of plastic applications including straws, food containers and cutlery, among other things. We make Nodax through a fermentation process where bacteria consume vegetable oil and make PHA within their cell walls as energy reserves. We harvest the PHA from the bacteria, then purify and filter the bioplastic before forming the PHA into pellets, which we combine with other inputs using a reactive extrusion process to manufacture formulated finished product. We design our PHAs to be a drop-in replacement for petroleum-based plastics so that the converters do not have to purchase new equipment to switch to our new biodegradable plastic. Utilizing PHA as a base resin for a wide variety of application-specific engineered materials significantly expands the number of potential applications for bioplastics in the industry and enables us to produce resin that is not just compostable, but also fully biodegradable.

In December 2018, we acquired a fermentation facility in Winchester, Kentucky (“Kentucky Facility”) for production of PHA on a commercial scale. We embarked on a two-phase commissioning strategy for the Kentucky Facility, which expanded the capacity of the plant by 45 million pounds to total plant capacity up to 65 million pounds of Nodax-based finished product, which includes other blended inputs, per year. The capacity expansion was completed in 2022.

In November 2021, we broke ground on the construction of a PHA plant in Bainbridge, Georgia (“Greenfield Facility”). Through ~~June~~September 30, 2024, we have invested $~~188~~189.35 million in the Greenfield Facility, excluding capitalized interest and internal labor. The Greenfield Facility has an engineering cost estimate ranging from $515 million to $665 million, which was most recently updated in December 2022 and does not consider any effect of inflation. The Greenfield Facility has a planned annual production capacity of approximately 125 million pounds of finished product. We suspended construction of the Greenfield Facility during 2022 and completion of the facility is contingent upon securing additional financing.

We ~~anticipate~~estimate ~~spending~~construction of a commercial Rinnovo plant would cost between $140 million to $220 million ~~on a commercial Rinnovo plant~~. This range does not account for the impact of inflation on our construction costs arising since the completion of our engineering cost estimate in the second quarter of 2022. We believe this will be an important aspect of our long-term corporate development. Once a commercial Rinnovo plant is completed and after making some additional investments in extrusion capacity, the Danimer network is expected to have production capacity of approximately 330 million pounds of Nodax-based finished product. Danimer also expects to have approximately 60 million pounds of Rinnovo remaining to sell on a standalone basis or in formulations that don't include Nodax. In July 2024, we temporarily suspended our Danimer Catalytic Technologies business, including additional reduction in force, to further capital conservation. There were no asset impairments associated with this suspension, but we do expect to record additional strategic reorganization and other related charges in the quarter ending ~~September~~December 3031, 2024 that will reduce the immediate cost savings realized.

PLA-Based Resins: Since 2004, we have been producing proprietary plastics using a natural plastic called polylactic acid (“PLA”) as a base resin. PLA has limited functionality in its unformulated, or “neat,” form. We purchase PLA and formulate it into bioplastic resins by leveraging the expertise of our chemists and our proprietary reactive extrusion process. Our formulated PLA products allow many companies to begin to use renewable and compostable plastics to meet their customers’ growing sustainability needs. We were the first company in the world to create a bioplastic suitable for coating disposable paper cups to withstand the temperatures of hot liquids such as coffee. We have expanded our product portfolio and now supply customers globally.

Research and Development (“R&D”) and Tolling Services: Our technology team partners with global consumer product companies to develop custom biopolymer formulations for specific applications. R&D contracts are designed to develop a formulated resin using PHA, PLA and other biopolymers that can be run efficiently on existing conversion equipment. We expect successful R&D contracts to culminate in supply agreements with the R&D customers. Our R&D services thus not only provide revenue but also a pipeline of future products.

In addition to producing our own products, we also toll manufacture for customers that need our unique extruder or reactor setup for new or scale-up production. Our specialty tolling services primarily involve processing customer-owned raw materials to assist them in addressing their extrusion capacity constraints or manufacturing challenges.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below.

Factors Impacting Our Revenue

We derive our revenue from product sales of PHA- and PLA-based resins as well as from services such as R&D and tolling.

The most significant drivers of PHA-based revenue are the pace of adoption of our materials and, in the longer-term, our ability to bring additional production capacity online, such as our Greenfield Facility. Our product revenue from PLA-based resins is primarily impacted by the effective launch of new product offerings in new markets by our customers. Finally, our product revenue will be impacted in the future by our ability to deliver biopolymer formulations that can be efficiently run on customer conversion equipment and meet customer application specifications and requirements and by our ability to negotiate successful PHA-related license sales agreements.

Our service revenue is primarily impacted by the timing of, and execution against, customer contracts. Research and development services generally involve milestone-based contracts to develop PHA-based solutions designed to a customer’s specifications. Upon the completion of research and development contracts, customers generally have the option to enter into long-term supply agreements with us for the developed product solutions.

Factors Impacting Our Expenses

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue is comprised of costs of goods sold and direct costs associated with research and development service projects. Costs of goods sold consists of raw materials and ingredients, personnel, related production overhead, rent, utilities and depreciation. Costs associated with research and development service contracts include outside consulting and testing, personnel and related overhead incurred in direct relation to specific service contracts.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, general and administrative expense consists of personnel costs, corporate administration expenses, and elements of depreciation and amortization, rent, facility and marketing expenses that are not directly attributable to direct costs of production or associated with research and development activities.

Research and development expense

Research and development expense includes personnel costs, depreciation, amortization, third-party consulting and testing fees, and rent and related facility expenses directly attributable to research and development activities not associated with revenue generating service contracts.

Current Developments

During the ~~second~~third quarter, we made further inroads in our mission to create biodegradable consumer packaging and other products which address the global plastics waste crisis by:

•

~~completing~~continuing ~~our~~to ~~first~~make commercial ~~shipment~~shipments of cutlery resin to our converter ~~partner~~partners to service a large QSR, and

•

making additional progress in negotiating development and supply agreements with our blue-chip customers.

Russia & Ukraine Conflict

With respect to the war in Ukraine, our business and operational environment is impacted by, among other things, responsive governmental actions including sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other governments.

While we do not have operations in either Russia or Ukraine, we have experienced a decline in sales due to the conflict, specifically sales of some of our PLA products. We have also experienced supply chain challenges and increased logistics and raw material costs, including but not limited to canola oil, which our PHA production currently uses as a feedstock. Although we did not and do not source canola oil from Ukraine, and we have placed orders to reduce our exposure to shortages or inflation, we believe global canola oil prices have been more volatile due to events in Ukraine.

The extent to which the conflict may continue to impact ~~Danimer~~us in future periods will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the conflict, its impact on regional and global economic conditions, and the extent of supply chain disruptions. We will continue to monitor the conflict and assess the related sanctions and other effects and may take further actions if necessary.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Our disclosure of our key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenue

~~Current~~For the third quarter of 2024, revenue decreased by 4121% as compared to the prior year quarter. In the ~~second~~current quarter ~~of 2024~~, PHA-based product sales of $56.96 million decreased $21.58 million, or 3022%, over the prior year quarter due to the reallocation of business among converters by one of our end ~~customer~~customers, Starbucks. PHA-based product sales represented 8183% of our product revenues in the current ~~year~~ quarter and 6981% of product revenue in the prior year quarter. Current quarter PLA-based product sales of $1.43 million decreased $20.46 million compared to the prior year quarter due to decreased demand from certain PLA customers ~~impacted~~and byapproximates the ~~conflict~~future inrun ~~Ukraine,~~rate ~~whose~~for ~~business~~our wePLA ~~do not expect to return~~business.

The ~~decrease~~increase in service revenue relates primarily to ~~our~~a ~~completion~~new ofR&D ~~our~~contract ~~portion~~for $1.3 million, of ~~several~~which ~~R&D~~$0.3 ~~contracts~~million ~~since~~was ~~the~~earned ~~beginning~~and ofrecognized in the ~~prior~~current year quarter.

During the current quarter, we had two customers that each ~~individually~~ accounted for 10% or more of revenue and that collectively accounted for 6361% of total revenue,. ~~whereas~~In in the prior year quarter, we also had ~~three~~two customers that each ~~individually~~ accounted for 10% or more of revenue and that collectively accounted for 6964% of total revenue.

Cost of revenue and gross profit

Cost of revenue decreased 2515% for the current quarter as compared with the prior year quarter. This is largely driven by the sales volume decreases, ~~unfavorable~~and ~~fixed~~ cost ~~absorption,~~reduction ~~and~~efforts ~~inflationary~~taken ~~impact,~~throughout ~~which~~the ~~are~~business, partially offset by ~~cost~~unfavorable ~~reduction~~fixed ~~efforts~~cost ~~taken~~absorption, ~~throughout~~and ~~the~~inflationary ~~business~~impacts.

The decline in gross profit percentage as compared with the prior year quarter was primarily due to unfavorable fixed cost absorption in the current quarter.

2426

Operating expenses

The current quarter improvement as compared to the prior year quarter in selling, general and administrative expense primarily relates to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $11.8 million for certain executive awards that were fully amortized in December 2023, which was partially offset by increases in ~~consulting~~legal ~~fees~~ and ~~legal~~consulting ~~expense~~expenses of $01.81 ~~million~~ related to ~~certain~~shareholder litigation costs ~~associated~~and ~~with~~recent ~~an abandoned~~ financing ~~transaction~~transactions. The improvement in research and development expense as compared to the prior year quarter also relates primarily to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million for executive awards ~~that were fully amortized in December 2023 as well as a prior year quarter charge of $0~~.8 ~~million in compensation and benefits related to a write-off of deferred payroll costs.~~ We continue to focus on reducing expenses company-wide.

~~Gain~~Loss on remeasurement of warrants

The current quarter remeasurement ~~gain~~loss of warrants primarily reflects the increase in the fair value of the 45.7 million publicly-traded Dividend Warrants, which was partially offset by the decrease in the fair value of the 15 million outstanding Common Warrants due to a decrease in the share price during the quarter. The prior year quarter remeasurement gain reflects the decrease in fair value of the 3.9 million outstanding Private Warrants due to a decrease in the share price during the prior year quarter.

Interest expense

The ~~decrease~~increase, as compared to the prior year quarter, in interest expense, net of capitalization, primarily resulted from an increase ~~in interest income~~ of $0.65 million, ~~which~~cash ~~was~~interest ~~largely~~expense ~~offset~~and ~~by a~~ $0.54 million increase in loan cost amortization expense related to the Senior Secured Term Loan as well as the Revolving Credit Agreement, which is new in the current quarter.

Gain on loan extinguishment

The current quarter gain on loan extinguishment of $6.8 million is related to the retirement of $8.1 million of our previously outstanding 3.25% Convertible Notes that were exchanged for equity as part of the aforementioned Dividend Warrant transaction.

Income taxes

For the current quarter, we had an immaterial amount of tax expense as compared to a benefit of $0.15 million in the prior year quarter. Our effective tax rates differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to our valuation allowances against substantially all of our net deferred tax assets.

Revenue

Revenues during the current ~~six~~nine month period decreased by 2826% as compared to the prior year ~~six~~nine month period. PHA-based product sales of $1420.17 million ~~increased~~decreased $01.72 million, or 45.94% over the prior year ~~six~~nine month period due primarily to a 129.9% decrease in sales price which was not fully offset by a 5.0% increase in volumes sold. PHA-based product sales represented 82% of our product revenues in the current year period and 5865% of product revenue in the prior year period. Current ~~six~~nine month period PLA-based product sales of $34.14 million decreased $6.7.3 million compared to the prior year ~~six~~nine month period due to decreased demand from certain PLA customers ~~impacted~~and byapproximates the ~~conflict~~future inrun ~~Ukraine,~~rate ~~whose~~for ~~business~~our wePLA ~~do not expect to return at the previous volumes or at all~~business.

The decrease in service revenue relates primarily to our completion of our portion of several R&D contracts since the beginning of the prior year period.

During the current ~~six~~nine month period, we had two customers that each individually accounted for 10% or more of revenue and collectively accounted for 64% of total revenue, whereas in the prior year period we had ~~four~~two customers that each individually accounted for 10% or more of revenue and collectively accounted for 7565% of total revenue.

Cost of revenue and gross profit

Cost of revenue decreased 17% for the current ~~six~~nine month period as compared with the prior year ~~six~~nine month period. This ~~was~~is largely driven by the sales volume decreases ~~noted~~and ~~above,~~cost ~~unfavorable~~reduction ~~fixed~~efforts ~~cost~~taken ~~absorption~~throughout ~~and~~the ~~cost inflation~~business, ~~which were~~ partially offset by ~~cost~~ ~~reduction~~unfavorable ~~efforts~~fixed ~~taken~~cost ~~throughout~~absorption, ~~the~~and ~~business.~~inflationary impacts.

The decline in gross profit percentage as compared with the prior year period was primarily due to unfavorable fixed cost absorption.

Operating expenses

The current period improvement in selling, general and administrative expense as compared to the prior year period primarily relates to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $2436.31 million for executive awards that were fully amortized in December 2023, which was partially offset by increases of $12.87 million in legal expenses related to our on-going shareholder litigation activity as well as recent debt and financing transactions and a $02.51 million ~~related~~increase in bad debt due to ~~the~~increased ~~aforementioned~~customer ~~abandoned~~reserves ~~financing~~in ~~transaction~~the current year period. The improvement in research and development expense relates primarily to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $34.29 million for executive awards that were fully amortized in December 2023 as well as a decrease of $0.9 million in compensation and benefits related to a one -time write-off of deferred payroll costs in the prior year period and headcount reductions taken during the current year period. We continue to focus on reducing expenses company-wide.

Gain on remeasurement of warrants

The current period remeasurement gain onof warrants ~~represents~~primarily areflects the decrease in the fair value of ~~each of~~ the 15 million outstanding Common Warrants due to a decrease in the share price ~~since~~during ~~their~~the ~~issuance~~period offset by the increase in the fair value of the 45.7 million outstanding Dividend Warrants. The prior year ~~quarter~~period remeasurement loss was due to an increase in the share price during that period that impacted the fair value of the 3.9 million outstanding Private Warrants.

Interest expense

The increase in interest expense, net of capitalization, as compared to the prior year, resulted from a $5.4.6 million increase in cash interest expense, ~~net~~and of$2.7 ~~interest~~million ~~income~~increase onin ~~the~~loan ~~deposited~~cost ~~proceeds~~amortization ~~from~~expense related to the Senior Secured Term Loan as well as the Revolving Credit Agreement, which ~~was~~is ~~outstanding~~new ~~for~~in ~~the~~current ~~entire~~nine ~~six~~ month period, inoffset ~~the~~by ~~current~~an ~~year~~increase asof ~~compared~~$0.9 tomillion ain ~~only~~interest aincome ~~portion~~on ofthe deposited proceeds from the ~~prior~~Senior ~~year.~~Secured Term Loan.

Gain on loan extinguishment

The current period gain on loan extinguishment of $6.8 million is related to the retirement of $8.1 million of our previously outstanding 3.25% Convertible Notes that were exchanged for equity as part of the aforementioned Dividend Warrant transaction.

Income taxes

For the current period, we had an immaterial amount of tax expense as compared to a benefit of $0.2 million in the prior year period. Our effective tax rates differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to our valuation allowances against substantially all of our net deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are equity issuances and debt financings. AsAt ofSeptember ~~June~~ 30, 2024, we had $4022.32 million in cash and cash equivalents and other working capital of $2726.4 million. While we believe we have developed the capabilities to generate revenue that will eventually be sufficient to cover our ongoing operating costs, we are currently experiencing a period of low sales volume.

As of June 30, 2024, we have invested $188.3 million of capital, excluding capitalized interest and internal labor, for the Greenfield Facility. During 2022, we suspended construction of the Greenfield Facility and completion of the facility is contingent upon receiving additional financing.28

currently anticipate our existing liquidity is sufficient to sustain us until our expected revenues and resulting cash returns on revenue occur. As a result of ~~June~~our ~~30,~~inability ~~2024~~to generate cash from operations, coupled with the interest expense under our ~~most~~debt ~~significant~~agreements ~~borrowing~~and ~~facilities~~expenses related to potential financing transactions, we are ~~our~~forecasting ~~3.25%~~that ~~Convertible~~we ~~Senior~~will ~~Notes~~likely not have adequate liquidity to fund our operations and meet our ~~Senior~~financial ~~Secured~~obligations ~~Term~~in ~~Loan~~the ~~described~~near ~~below~~term and that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of this Form 10-Q as we do not currently expect cash resources and forecasted cash flows will be sufficient.

26We have significant debt. At September 30, 2024, our long-term debt totaled $381.9 million, as described in greater detail below. Our most significant borrowing facilities are our 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes and our Senior Secured Term Loan.

In light of our substantial leverage position and potential for a future liquidity shortfall, we continue to analyze a variety of transactions and mechanisms designed to reduce debt and/or provide sources of incremental liquidity, including restructuring our existing debt, additional debt or equity issuances and/or asset sales. Such transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, various required covenants and other factors and may not be consummated on terms that are favorable to our existing debt holders and equity holders, or at all. These alternative measures may not be successful, and we may be unable to secure necessary liquidity or to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. Even if these alternative measures are successful, such measures could result in a material dilution to our public shareholders.

In addition, the maturity of certain of our debt may be accelerated in certain situations, including if we cannot meet our debt service obligations, and, to the extent such debt is secured, lenders may foreclose on the assets securing such debt. Under the Indenture governing the Convertible Notes, we are required to offer to repurchase our Convertible Notes upon the occurrence of certain “Fundamental Change” events, including specified change of control transactions and any delisting of our Common Stock from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Upon the occurrence of certain events, including a Fundamental Change or our filing of an Annual Report on Form 10-K containing a Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm that includes disclosure regarding going concern, the lenders under the Senior Secured Term Loan may accelerate the maturity of the borrowings thereunder and such acceleration could cause a cross-default or cross-acceleration of all of our other outstanding debt. Such a cross-default or cross-acceleration could have a wider impact on our liquidity than might otherwise arise from a default or acceleration of a single debt instrument. If an event of default occurs, or if other debt agreements cross-default, and the lenders under the affected debt agreements accelerate the maturity of any loans or other debt outstanding, we may not have sufficient liquidity to repay all of our debt.

We broke ground on our Greenfield Facility construction in November 2021 and started placing orders for long-lead time equipment items. The Greenfield Facility has an engineering cost estimate ranging from $515 million to $665 million, which does not consider the effects of inflation. As of September 30, 2024, we have invested $189.5 million of capital, excluding capitalized interest and internal labor, for the Greenfield Facility. During 2022, we suspended construction of the Greenfield Facility and completion of the facility is contingent upon receiving additional financing.

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes

On December 21, 2021, we issued $240 million principal amount of our 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (“Convertible Notes”), subject to an indenture (“Indenture”).

The Convertible Notes are our senior, unsecured obligations and accrue interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2022. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares, at our election. The initial conversion rate, which is subject to change, is approximately $10.79 per share of common stock. If certain liquidity conditions are met, we may redeem the Convertible Notes between December 19, 2024, and October 20, 2026. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 15, 2026. There are $231.9 million principal amount of Convertible Notes remaining outstanding at September 30, 2024.

On July 12, 2024, we completed the distribution of Dividend Warrants as described in Note 8. In addition to Dividend Warrants being exercisable for cash, subject to the terms and conditions of the warrant agreement governing the Dividend Warrants, holders of Dividend Warrants may also exercise their Dividend Warrants with Convertible Notes at face value, meaning that one Convertible Note having a principal amount of $1,000 may be surrendered as consideration to exercise 200 Dividend Warrants. Convertible Notes surrendered to pay the exercise price for Dividend Warrants will be retired. As of September 30, 2024, we have retired $8.1 million of previously outstanding convertible notes resulting in a gain on extinguishment of $6.8 million.

Capped Calls

Senior Secured Term Loan

On March 17, 2023, we closed a $130 million principal amount Senior Secured Term Loan. The Senior Secured Term Loan matures on the earlier of March 17, 2027 or September 15, 2026 if more than $100 million of the existing Convertible Notes remains outstanding on that date. After payment of the lender’s expenses, including the first three years of premiums for a collateral protection insurance policy for the benefit of the lender, we received net proceeds of $98.6 million. The Senior Secured Term Loan accrues interest at a fixed annual rate of 14.4%. As part of the Senior Secured Term Loan agreement, we are required to hold certain interest payments in a restricted reserve account, which resulted in classification of $12.5 million of cash as restricted cash.

The Senior Secured Term Loan contains various customary covenants,. ~~which~~Upon wethe dooccurrence ~~not~~of ~~expect~~certain toevents, ~~have~~including a ~~material~~Fundamental ~~impact~~Change, onthe ~~our~~acceleration ~~liquidity~~of the Convertible Notes, Revolving Credit Agreement or ~~capital~~certain ~~resources~~other debt and or other obligations, or our filing of an Annual Report on Form 10-K containing a Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm that includes disclosure regarding going concern, the principal balance of the Senior Secured Term Loan may accelerate and become due immediately. If such acceleration occurs, it would cause a cross-default of substantially all of our other debt.

In connection with the Senior Secured Term Loan, we also issued warrants with a five-year maturity to the lender to purchase 1.5 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. We determined the fair value of these warrants as of the closing date was $0.5 million, which we included in additional paid in capital, using the Black-Scholes model.

~~Cash~~Revolving ~~Flows~~Credit ~~for the Six Months Ended June 30 2024 and 2023:~~Agreement

On April 19, 2024, we entered into an asset-based lending agreement (“Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for borrowings under a revolving commitment of $20.0 million (“Revolving Commitment”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Credit Agreement, we may request an increase in the Revolving Commitment by an amount not to exceed $5.0 million, provided that any such request for an increase be in a minimum amount of $2.5 million. The amount of the Revolving Commitment available for borrowing at any given time is $18.5 million, subject to a borrowing base formula that is based upon our accounts receivable and inventory, as more fully described in the Revolving Credit Agreement. We are required to borrow a minimum of 50% of the calculated weekly borrowing base formula at all times. At September 30, 2024, the remaining availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement was $4.8 million.

The Revolving Credit Agreement also contains other customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants. Upon the occurrence of certain events, including a Fundamental Change, the acceleration of the Convertible Notes, Senior Secured Term Loan or certain other debt or other obligations, the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Agreement may accelerate and become due immediately.

The Revolving Credit Agreement is secured by a lien on all of our accounts receivable and inventory and the proceeds thereof and certain other assets as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30 2024 and 2023:

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(3146,~~961~~460	)	$	(2131,~~151~~331	)
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(36,~~770~~319	)	$	(2325,~~041~~704	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	1615,~~648~~578		$	8584,~~029~~488

Cash flows from operating activities

~~Net cash used in operating activities was $32.0 million during the current six month period and was $21.2 million during the comparable period for 2023.~~ The period-to-period increase in cash outflows is primarily due to changes in working capital, specifically in accounts receivable and inventory, as well as increased interest payments related to our Senior Secured Term Loan and Revolving Credit Agreement in the current year and compared to a partial payment on the Senior Secured Term Loan in the prior year period as well as the Revolving Credit Agreement, which is new in the current year period.

Cash flows from investing activities

In the current ~~six~~nine month period, we used $36.83 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment as compared to the $2325.07 million for such purchases in the prior year ~~six~~nine month period. During 2024, we are continuing to decrease capital expenditures to align with our cost savings initiatives.

Cash flows from financing activities

For the ~~six~~nine month period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities of $1615.6 million consisted primarily of:

•

Proceeds from issuance of warrants and common stock, net of issuance costs, of $13.54 million;

•

Proceeds from the completion of our ~~asset-based~~Revolving ~~lending~~Credit ~~arrangement~~Agreement, net of issuance costs, of $1019.26 million; and

•

Payments of debt of $717.26 million.

For the ~~six~~nine month period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 , net cash provided by financing activities of $8584.05 million consisted primarily of:

•

Proceeds from our Senior Secured Term Loan of $130 million, less issuance costs of $33.3 million; and

•

Payments of debt of $1112.74 million, including all of our previously existing $10.2 million Subordinated Term Loan.

Off-~~balance~~Balance Sheet Arrangements

At ~~June~~September 30, 2024, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including potential losses arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates, such as various commodity prices, particularly canola oil. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Our primary financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents. This includes cash in banks and highly rated, liquid money market investments. We believe these instruments are not subject to material potential near-term losses in future earnings from reasonably possible near-term changes in market rates or prices.

Commodity Price Risk

Our products are made using various purchased components and several basic raw materials, in particular PLA, polybutylene succinate (“PBS”), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (“PBAT”) and canola oil. We expect prices for these items to fluctuate based on marketplace demand and other factors, such as the effect of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on canola oil prices. Our product margins and level of profitability may fluctuate whether or not we pass increases in purchased component and raw material costs on to our customers.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls can prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. There are inherent limitations in all control systems, including the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of one or more persons. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and, while our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to be effective under circumstances where they should reasonably be expected to operate effectively, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our management, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our management and our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective ~~in providing them with material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.~~

2831

in providing them with material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three month period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Refer to the information provided in Note 14 to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented in Part I, Item 1. of this report.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

~~There~~Our ~~have~~results ~~been~~of nooperations ~~material~~and ~~changes~~financial incondition ~~our~~are ~~risk~~subject ~~factors~~to ~~from~~various ~~those~~risks and uncertainties as disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, ~~except~~(“2023 ~~for~~Form ~~the~~10-K”).

You should carefully consider the risks set forth in our 2023 Form 10-K ~~for~~and the ~~year~~following ~~ended~~risks, ~~December~~together 31with all the other information in this report, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. If any of the risks actually materialize, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2023: Form 10-K.

The following risk factors below are hereby added to the risk factors disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Our negative cash flows and current lack of financial resources raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Based on the definitions in the relevant accounting standards, we evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to raise additional funding to meet our operational needs, we may be forced to limit or cease our operations and/or liquidate our assets. Although our condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, our negative cash flows from operations and current lack of financial resources raise substantial doubt as to our ability to satisfy our obligations as they become due within one year from the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on our current plans and projections, our unrestricted cash resources of $22.2 million and $26.4 million in working capital at September 30, 2024 and forecasted cash flows are not expected to be sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for the next twelve months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate significant near-term revenue growth from recent customer awards and through organic growth in 2025, however these revenues are uncontracted, and we do not currently anticipate our existing liquidity is sufficient to sustain us until our expected revenues and resulting cash returns on revenue occur. Given the uncertainties around our liquidity, our ability to execute our business plan,and ability to comply with the covenants under our Senior Secured Term Loan, Convertible Notes and Revolving Credit Agreement, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 9. Debt.

We may need to further increase our cash balance by issuing additional shares of our Common Stock, debt or other securities, including senior or subordinated notes, debt securities convertible into equity, or shares of preferred stock, and we may need to do so sooner than we currently expect. There is no assurance that sources of financing will be available on a timely basis, or on satisfactory terms, or at all, and any additional financing may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders. We may be forced to seek protection from our creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, discontinue operations, or liquidate our assets, and we may receive less than the carrying value of those assets. Any of these outcomes could cause our shareholders to lose some or all of their investment.

We have used a substantial portion of our capacity to incur secured debt without seeking consent from the lenders of our Senior Secured Term Loan, certain other secured lenders, and other stakeholders. Consequently, our ability to raise additional secured debt without such consent as part of a restructuring is significantly limited.

Even if we are able to raise significant additional capital necessary to continue our operations over the next year, if we are unable to obtain additional adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to pursue our business objectives, develop our technology and products, and respond to business opportunities, challenges, unforeseen circumstances

or developments could be significantly limited, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

We may not be able to access the liquidity needed to meet our operating requirements and to service our debt instruments, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. If we cannot maintain adequate liquidity, we may undertake restructuring transactions and/or seek bankruptcy protection to undertake restructuring efforts, and we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our condensed consolidated interim balance sheet.

At September 30, 2024, we had $22.2 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $4.8 million of availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement, which resulted in a total liquidity position of $27.0 million. We expect our liquidity position to be impacted by (i) the Senior Secured Term Loan’s monthly interest payments ($1.6 million based on the principal amount outstanding at September 30, 2024), (ii) the Convertible Notes semi-annual interest payments ($3.8 million based on amounts outstanding at September 30, 2024), which will next occur on December 15, 2024 and (iii) the Revolving Credit Agreement’s monthly interest payments ($0.1 million based on the principal amount outstanding at September 30, 2024).

To address a potential future liquidity shortfall, we are evaluating sources of incremental liquidity including additional debt issuances or refinancings and/or asset sales, none of which have been implemented at this time. Any such financing transaction may not be consummated on terms that are favorable to our existing debt holders and equity holders, or at all.

Our ability to obtain incremental liquidity, make scheduled payments and/or to refinance our outstanding debt obligations may depend on our financial and operating performance, which may be affected by prevailing economic, industry, and competitive conditions and by financial, business, and other factors beyond our control. We may not be able to achieve, a sufficient level of cash flow from operating activities to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our debt. If we are unable to fund our debt service obligations, operating expenses and capital expenditures, we may pursue restructuring transactions, including refinancing all or part of our debt, selling assets, seeking to raise additional capital, and pursuing one or more internal reorganizations or other restructuring activities, strategic corporate alignment and cost-saving initiatives or other significant corporate transactions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. Any refinancing of debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which may negatively impact our ability to manage our business and raise additional capital. These alternative measures may not be successful, and we may be unable to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. Even if these alternative measures are successful, such measures could result in a material dilution to our public shareholders.

In addition, the maturity of certain of our debt may be accelerated in certain situations, including if we cannot meet our debt service obligations, and, to the extent such debt is secured, lenders may foreclose on the assets securing such debt. The Indenture requires us to offer to repurchase the Convertible Notes upon certain “Fundamental Change” events, including specified change of control transactions and any delisting of our Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of certain events, including a Fundamental Change or our filing of an Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm that includes disclosure regarding going concern, the lenders under the Senior Secured Term Loan may accelerate the maturity of the borrowings, and such acceleration could cause a cross-default or cross-acceleration of all of our other debt. Such a cross-default or cross-acceleration could have a wider impact on our liquidity than might otherwise arise from a default or acceleration of a single debt instrument. If an event of default occurs, or if other debt agreements cross-default, and the lenders under the affected debt agreements accelerate the maturity of any loans or other debt outstanding, we may not have sufficient liquidity to repay all of our debt and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

If any of these risks are realized, our business and financial condition would be adversely affected.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the NYSE.

On May 21, 2024, we were notified by NYSE Regulation that we were not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing criteria because the average closing price of our Common Stock was less than $1.00 over a 30-day consecutive trading day period ending May 20, 2024. We are subject to a 180-day cure period and we cannot be certain that we will be able to cure our non-compliance, ~~absent~~despite completing a reverse-stock split, which ~~would~~was ~~require~~approved ~~the~~by ~~approval~~our stockholders at a Special Meeting of ~~our~~Stockholders ~~stockholders~~held on October 23, 2024.

If the NYSE delists our securities from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our security holders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

•

a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of our common stock;

•

a limited amount of analyst coverage;

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and

the occurrence of a “Fundamental Change” under the Indenture governing our 3.250% Convertible Notes due 2026, in which case the holders of the Convertible Notes could require us to repurchase them for the principal amount plus any accrued interest and the lenders under our Senior Secured Term Loan could accelerate the maturity of borrowings thereunder. Such accelerations could result in the lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement declaring all obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.

In addition, if our total market capitalization falls below an average of $50 million for 30 consecutive trading days and we are unable to regain compliance during an 18-month cure period, the NYSE may commence suspension and de-listing procedures. As of November 18, 2024, our 30-day average market capitalization was approximately $43 million.

Lastly, if (i) the price per share of our common stock falls to an “abnormally low price,” (ii) our market capitalization falls below an average of $15 million for 30 consecutive trading days, or (iii) we choose to liquidate the Company, the NYSE may immediately commence suspension and de-listing procedures.

Due to the Reverse Stock Split, we expect to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing criteria with regard to both (i) the average closing price of our Common Stock being greater than $1.00 over a 30-day consecutive trading day period and (ii) the price per share of our Common Stock being above an “abnormally low price.”

If the NYSE delists our Common Stock from trading, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including: a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; triggering a “Fundamental Change” under the Indenture controlling the Convertible Notes, which could result in the holders of our Convertible Notes requiring us to repurchase them; the acceleration of the Senior Secured Term Loan and/or Revolving Credit Agreement; reduced liquidity for our securities; a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and regulations, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of our common stock; a limited amount of analyst coverage; a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and a negative impact to, or termination of, our critical business relationships.
