Danimer, formerly known as Live Oak Acquisition Corp., develops bioplastic replacements for traditional plastics. According to recently filed lawsuits, Danimer and its executives materially misrepresented the degree to which its proprietary Nodax bioplastics product was biodegradable.

Investors began to learn the truth on March 20, 2021, when the Wall Street Journal reported that "many claims about Nodax are exaggerated and misleading." The article quoted a plastics expert as characterizing Danimer's claims about Nodax's biodegradability as "not accurate" and as "greenwashing." On April 22, 2021, financial analyst Spruce Point published a report that called into question Danimer's claims about the size of its operations and Nodax's composition and degradability.

Finally, on May 4, 2021, Spruce Point published a second report after acquiring documents from Kentucky's Department of Environmental Protection. This report accused Danimer of "wildly overstating" production figures, pricing, and financial projections. As a result of these disclosures, the price of Danimer stock lost more than 58% of its value, falling $29.13 per share from a March 19, 2021 closing price of $49.98 per share to a closing price of $20.85 on May 5.
