Danimer Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: DNMR) (“Company” or “Danimer
Scientific”), a leading next generation bioplastics company focused
on the development and production of biodegradable materials,
announced that, on September 27, 2024, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the 2023 Order of the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York
dismissing a previously disclosed putative class action complaint
captioned In re Danimer Scientific, Inc. Securities Litigation.
Subsequently, the plaintiffs in the three shareholder derivative
cases that had been pending in state and federal courts in
Delaware, which cases had been stayed pending the outcome of the
Second Circuit case, dismissed their complaints.
“We are pleased that the Second Circuit upheld the District
Court’s decision as we expected and to have the other derivative
cases dismissed,” said Richard Altice, Danimer’s Interim Chief
Executive Officer. “We look forward to putting this distraction
fully behind us and remain committed to partnering with our current
and future customers to bring sustainably-sourced and biodegradable
products and packaging to the market.”
