Announces Issuance of $11,250,000 Super Senior
Secured Promissory Note
Danimer Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: DNMR) (“Danimer” or the
“Company”), a leading next generation bioplastics company focused
on the development and production of biodegradable materials, today
announced that the Company issued a super senior secured promissory
note (the “Secured Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of
$11,250,000 to certain lenders under its existing term loan
financing agreement, as well as certain additional lenders. The
Secured Loan provides for $11,250,000 gross proceeds, less fees and
expenses. The Secured Loan has a two-year maturity and accrues
interest at 15.0% per annum, which interest is payable in kind.
The Secured Loan provides liquidity and strengthens the
Company’s balance sheet as it remains focused on providing its
customers with its innovative polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and
polylactic acid (PLA) products, which are used in the creation of
biodegradable plastics alternatives.
“Our world-class science and cutting-edge innovations in
bioplastics have positioned us at the forefront creating
sustainable and biodegradable plastic alternatives. We continue to
work with our customers to launch the recently reported significant
cutlery award that is progressing well, and we anticipate reaching
the full annual run rate in mid-2025. Consistent with our end
customer’s ramp plan, we have received orders for over 365,000
pounds of cutlery resin and film resin to date,” said Richard N.
Altice, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Danimer. “We look
forward to working with our lenders and other stakeholders and
staying focused on ramping up our production and combatting
non-degradable plastics waste.”
