The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Origin Materials, Inc. (ORGN) Investors

The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Origin Materials, Inc. (“Origin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ORGN) securities between February 23, 2023 and August 9, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Origin investors have until October 24, 2023 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

On August 9, 2023, after the market closed, Origin disclosed that it was significantly delaying the construction timeline on its Origin 2 commercial plant and changing the product slate at Origin 2 from a focus on PX to a focus on FDCA. The Company blamed the delay on the “high-cost environment” for capital projects, also revealing that the construction would cost more and yield less capacity than previously announced.

On this news, Origin’s stock price fell $2.99, or 66.5%, to close at $1.45 per share on August 10, 2023, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Origin would not be able to meet its previously announced timeline for the construction of the Origin 2 plant; (2) demand for PX had dropped such that it would not be the production focus of Origin 2; (3) Origin could not construct Origin 2 at its previously disclosed cost; (4) Origin could not construct Origin 2 at the scale it had previously identified; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
