Item 1.03  Bankruptcy or Receivership
As previously reported, on August 9, 2023, Amyris, Inc. (the "
Company
") and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "
Company Parties
" or the "
Debtors
") filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "
Bankruptcy Code
") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "
Bankruptcy Court
"), thereby commencing Chapter 11 cases for the Company Parties (the "
Chapter 11 Cases
").  Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to Bankruptcy Court documents, is available online at cases.stretto.com/amyris/, a website administered by Stretto, Inc., a third-party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent. The information on this website is not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute part of, this Form 8-K.
The Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court (i) on December 12, 2023, the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Amyris, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors, as Modified (the "
Second Amended Plan
") and the related Disclosure Statement; (ii) on January 9, 2024, a supplement to the Second Amended Plan (the "I
nitial Plan Supplement
"); (iii) on January 22, 2024, a Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Amyris, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors (the "
Third Amended Plan
"); (iv) on January 22, 2024, a further supplement to the Third Amended Plan (the "
Amended Plan Supplement
"); (v) on January 23, 2024, a Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Amyris, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors, as Modified (the "
Plan
"); and (vi) on January 23, 2024, a further supplement to the Plan (the "
Second Amended Plan Supplement
" and, together with the Initial Plan Supplement, the Amended Plan Supplement, and the Second Amended Plan Supplement, the "
Plan Supplement
"). A copy of the Plan is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
On February 7, 2024, the Court entered an order (the "
Confirmation Order
") confirming the Plan. The Plan is not yet effective. The Company expects that the effective date of the Plan will occur once all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied or waived as set forth therein (the "
Effective Date
"). A copy of the Confirmation Order is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used without definition herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Confirmation Order or Plan, as applicable. The documents contained in the Plan Supplement, as the same has been amended from time to time prior to confirmation of the Plan and may be further amended prior to the Effective Date or as otherwise set forth in the Plan or Confirmation Order, are integral to, and are considered part of, the Plan. It is also possible that technical amendments could be made to the Plan prior to the Effective Date.
Although the Company is targeting occurrence of the Effective Date as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary describes only certain substantive provisions of the Plan and Confirmation Order, as applicable, and is not intended to be a complete description of the Plan or Confirmation. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan and the Confirmation Order.
Pursuant to the Plan and Confirmation Order, there will be a restructuring that provides for, among other things, (i) a reorganization of the Debtors' remaining business and assets into a privately held company (referred to as "Reorganized Amyris"), and (ii) the treatment for certain classes of claims and interests as follows:
•
Foris Prepetition Secured Claims.
On the Effective Date, Holders of the Foris Prepetition Secured Claims will receive, at the option of the Foris Prepetition Secured Lenders, in each of their sole discretion, the Net Proceeds remaining after funding the payments required under the Plan (i) to satisfy Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Professional Fees, Allowed Priority Tax Claims and U.S. Trustee Fees (subject to the Plan Effective Date Funding), (ii) on account of the treatment of Classes 1, 2, 7, and 8, (iii) to provide the funding of the Estate Claims Settlement Cash Consideration, (iv) to provide the funding of the Third-Party Release Settlement Amounts, and (v) to provide the funding of the Lavvan Settlement Consideration, and the then remaining Foris Prepetition Secured Claims shall, at the option of the Foris Prepetition Secured Lenders, in each of their sole discretion, be rolled up (or assumed), converted, exchanged, refinanced or amended and restated, into: (x) the Exit First Lien Facility and/or (y) 100% of New Common Stock of Reorganized Amyris. Any remaining Foris Prepetition Secured Claims not rolled up, converted, exchanged, refinanced or amended and restated, into: (x) the Exit First Lien Facility and/or (y) 100% of New Common Stock of Reorganized Amyris shall neither receive nor retain any property under the Plan.

•
DSM Other Secured Claims

•
Intercompany Claims
. Intercompany Claims will be, at the option of the Debtors or Reorganized Amyris, either: (i) Reinstated; (ii) adjusted, converted to equity, otherwise set off, settled, distributed, or contributed; or (iii) canceled, released, or discharged without any distribution on account of such Intercompany Claims.

•
Amyris Equity Interests
. The Amyris Equity Interests will be extinguished and Holders of such Equity Interests will not receive any distribution on account of such Equity Interests.
The Plan and Confirmation Order contain other customary provisions including means for the Plan's implementation, provisions regarding assumption and rejection of executory contracts and agreements, provisions governing the consensual Third-Party Release and Exculpation, provisions regarding the establishment of the Creditor Trust and appointment of the Plan Administrator.

In the Company's most recent monthly operating report filed with the Bankruptcy Court on December 29, 2023, the Company reported total assets of approximately $813 million and total liabilities of approximately $1.3 billion as of November 30, 2023. This financial information has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm and may be subject to future reconciliation or adjustments. This information should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
The foregoing description of the Plan and the Confirmation Order is a summary thereof and does not purport to be complete, and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan and Confirmation Order (attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 99.1).
Item 2.05        Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

Item 3.03
Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders.
The disclosure under Item 1.03 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4.01        Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On February 9, 2024, Macias Gini & O'Connell LLP ("
MGO
") informed the Company that MGO was resigning as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. There is no dispute between the Company and MGO.
MGO's reports on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and in the subsequent interim period through February 9, 2024, (i) there were no "disagreements" as that term is defined in the fourth paragraph of the Instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K ("
Regulation S-K
") promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, between the Company and MGO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MGO, would have caused MGO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) there were no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided MGO with a copy of the disclosures made in this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the SEC and requested that MGO furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether MGO agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of MGO's letter dated February 9, 2024, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
Item 8.01
Other Events.
Deregistration of Securities
In conjunction with the effectiveness of the Plan and the cancellation of all of its outstanding shares of common stock, the Company intends to file post-effective amendments to each of its Registration Statements on Form S-1, Form S-3 and Form S-8 and promptly file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister its securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
Cautionary Statements Regarding Trading in the Company's Securities
The Company's securityholders are cautioned that trading in the Company's Common Stock during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company's Common Stock may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders thereof in the Company's Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its Common Stock.
