We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the Private Warrants by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement.

Our registration of the securities covered by the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement does not mean that the Selling Securityholders will offer or sell any of the shares.

We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell the shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On December 30, 2024, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) notified Danimer Scientific Inc. (“Danimer” or the “Company”) that it has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), as a result of the Company’s non-compliance with Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that requires listing companies to maintain an average global market capitalization of at least $15 million over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Trading in the Common Stock on the NYSE was suspended after market close on December 30, 2024. The Company is currently assessing whether to appeal the NYSE’s delisting determination. If the Company does not appeal, or unsuccessfully appeals, such determination, the Company expects the NYSE will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange (the “SEC”), which would result in the delisting of the Company’s Class A Common Stock from the NYSE on the tenth day after the Form 25 is filed.

As a result of the suspension in trading and delisting process pending any appeal, the Company anticipates that the Common Stock will begin trading on the OTCQX Market (the “OTCQX Market”), the highest market tier operated by the OTC Market Group, Inc. on December 31, 2024 under its current symbol "DNMR".

The Company can provide no assurance that the Common Stock will continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the Common Stock on this market, or whether the trading volume of the Common Stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market for existing and potential holders of the Common Stock.

The transition to the OTCQX Market is not expected to affect the Company’s business operations or its current SEC reporting obligations.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
