Item 8.01 Other Events.
Origin Materials, Inc. (“Origin” or the “Company”) has set May 2, 2023 as the date for its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Origin’s stockholders of record at the close of business on March 3, 2023, will be entitled to notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote upon matters considered at the Annual Meeting.
Because the date of the Annual Meeting represents a change of more than 30 days from the anniversary of Origin’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, Origin is providing the due date for submission of any qualified shareholder proposal or qualified shareholder nominations. The due date for such shareholder proposal or nominations under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission is on or before the close of business on February 1, 2023.
Stockholder proposals submitted in accordance with Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), for inclusion in Origin’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting must comply with the remaining requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. Stockholder proposals and nominations submitted pursuant to Origin’s advance notice bylaw provisions must also comply with the advance notice provisions contained in Origin’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and may be omitted if not in compliance with applicable requirements. Stockholders are urged to read the complete text of such advanced notice provisions.
