Danimer Scientific has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Live Oak Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: LOAK)

Pioneer in creating fully biodegradable and compostable bioplastics providing a cleaner, healthier, and environmentally responsible alternative to fossil fuel-based plastics

High-growth industry leader with blue chip customer contracts (PepsiCo, Nestlé, Genpak, WinCup, Columbia Packaging Group and Plastic Suppliers Inc.) demonstrating large-scale demand for PHA-based biodegradable plastics

Institutional investors commit to invest $210 million at closing; including certain funds managed by affiliates of Apollo, Federated Hermes Kaufmann Small Cap Fund, and over $50 million from Live Oak affiliates

$890 million of equity, $385 million of cash and only $20 million of pro forma debt provide ample flexibility to support abundant long-term growth opportunities

Fully financed at closing of the merger to expand production capacity from 20 million pounds annually today to approximately 200 million pounds in 2025

Intense demand from existing blue chip multinational customers supports management revenue forecast of over $500 million annually in 2025, with significantly increased profit margins by scaling existing production facilities

The transaction implies an equity valuation for Danimer of approximately $890 million at closing. It is anticipated that the combined company will have approximately $385 million of unrestricted cash on the balance sheet to fully fund future, planned growth, including the expansion of its current facility and the build out of its contemplated greenfield facility.
