CASE ALLEGATIONS: Origin Materials is a sustainable materials company that purports to have developed a platform to convert carbon found in biomass into carbon negative materials that can replace the petroleum-based substances typically used in various end products. On February 17, 2021, Origin Materials announced that it had entered into a merger agreement with Artius Acquisition Inc., a special purpose acquisition company (commonly known as a blank-check company or SPAC). The companies announced that as a consequence of the merger, Origin Materials would begin trading on the NASDAQ.
The Origin Materials class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Origin Materials would not be able to meet its previously announced timeline for the construction of its Origin 2 commercial plant; (ii) demand for paraxylene, a product that can replace non-sustainable chemicals in existing supply chains, had dropped such that it would not be the production focus of the Origin 2 plant; (iii) Origin Materials could not construct the Origin 2 plant at its previously disclosed cost; and (iv) Origin Materials could not construct the Origin 2 plant at the scale it had previously identified.
On August 9, 2023, Origin Materials announced it was significantly delaying the timeline for construction on its Origin 2 commercial plan and changing the product slate at Origin 2. Origin Materials disclosed that it “now expects Origin 2 to be completed in two phases, with Phase 1 estimated to be completed in late 2026 to 2027, and Phase 2 estimated to be completed in 2028, compared with our initial expectation for a mid-2025 completion.” Origin Materials blamed the delay on the “high-cost environment” for capital projects. Origin Materials further revealed that the construction would cost more and yield less capacity than previously announced. On this news, the price of Origin Materials stock declined more than 66%, damaging investors.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Origin Materials securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Origin Materials class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Origin Materials class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Origin Materials class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Origin Materials class action lawsuit.
