Origin Materials, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• Origin Materials, Inc. filed a Certificate of Amendment to effect a one-for-thirty reverse stock split of its common stock, effective March 19, 2026. Stockholders approved alternate ratios at a special meeting on February 17, 2026, and the Board approved the specific 1-for-30 ratio on March 4, 2026.
• The company’s common stock will trade on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market when it opens March 20, 2026 under the existing ticker “ORGN.” The new CUSIP is 68622D205. Par value remains $0.0001 per share.

Key Details

• Reverse ratio: 1 share issued for every 30 shares outstanding (effective March 19, 2026).
• Equity plan and option adjustments: Shares available under equity incentive and employee stock purchase plans, outstanding stock options, RSUs, and warrants will be reduced in number with a proportionate increase in exercise prices.
• Fractional shares: No fractional shares will be issued; if a holder would otherwise hold a fractional share, the company will issue one full share instead of a fractional share.
• Warrants: Publicly traded warrants will continue trading as “ORGNW” with a stated exercise price of $11.50, but holders must exercise 30 warrants for one share (aggregate exercise price $345.00); no fractional share issuance on exercise.

Why It Matters

• The reverse split reduces the number of outstanding shares by a 30-to-1 ratio and adjusts per-share figures (shares outstanding, option/warrant counts, and exercise prices) but does not change par value or the proportional ownership stakes described in the filing.
• For investors, expect an adjusted share count and per‑share metrics on March 20, 2026. The split may affect liquidity, share price level, and the mechanics of option/warrant exercises, so holders of stock, options, RSUs, warrants, and ESPP participants should confirm post-split balances and exercise terms.
