Item 5.08	Shareholder Director Nominations
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Danimer Scientific, Inc. (the "Company") has established July 9, 2024 as the date of the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2024 Annual Meeting"). The time and location of the 2024 Annual Meeting will be set forth in the Company's definitive proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2024 Annual Meeting will be the close of business on May 13, 2024. Because the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting is being advanced by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company's 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is filing this Item 5.08 of this Current Report on Form 8-K to inform stockholders of this change and to provide the due date for the submission of any qualified stockholder proposals or qualified stockholder director nominations.
Stockholders who intend to present proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2024 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (the "Rule 14a-8") promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), must ensure that such proposals are received by the Company, in writing, at 140 Industrial Boulevard, Bainbridge, Georgia 39817, and be directed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, no later than May 13, 2024, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to deliver and make available its proxy materials, and must furthermore comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8.
To be considered timely, stockholders who intend to present proposals for director nominations or any other proposal at the 2024 Annual Meeting must provide notice in writing to the Company at 140 Industrial Boulevard, Bainbridge, Georgia 39817, and be directed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, no later than the close of business on May 13, 2024, the tenth calendar day following the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K publicly announcing the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting. Stockholders are advised to review the Company's Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which contain additional requirements regarding advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.
In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements, to comply with the SEC's universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company's nominees, must provide notice to the Company that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than May 13, 2024.
Item 8.01 	Other Events.
On May 2, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Board declared a distribution to the holders of record of the Company's shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), in the form of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants"). The Warrants would be distributed on or about July 12, 2024, to the holders of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on May 13, 2024 (the "Distribution Record Date"). This transaction is subject to the Company's stockholders approving a proposal to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized under the Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation at the Company's upcoming annual meeting of stockholders, to be held on July 9, 2024.
The foregoing description is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the press release, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 attached to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. A Form 8-A registration statement and prospectus supplement describing the terms of the Warrants will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC's website located at http://www.sec.gov. Holders of the Company's Common Stock should read the prospectus supplement carefully, including the Risk Factors section included and incorporated by reference therein. This communication contains a general summary of the Warrants. Please read the warrant agreement when it becomes available as it will contain important information about the terms of the Warrants.
