RADNOR, Pa., June 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP announces that securities fraud class action lawsuits have been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Danimer Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: DNMR) (“Danimer”) f/k/a Live Oak Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: LOAK) (“Live Oak”) on behalf of those who purchased or acquired Danimer securities between October 5, 2020 and May 4, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Live Oak was a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company. In December 2020, Live Oak consummated a business combination with Meredian Holdings Group, Inc., doing business as Danimer Scientific, a performance polymer company specializing in bioplastic replacements for traditional petrochemical-based plastics.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the defendants overstated and/or misstated the biodegradability and environmentally-friendly nature of its Nodax product; (2) the defendants misrepresented the size of Danimer’s facilities, production capacity and actual production amounts, and costs; (3) the defendants misrepresented Danimer’s growth, financial results, and financial projections; (4) Danimer had deficient internal controls; and (5) as a result, Danimer’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Danimer investors may, no later than July 13, 2021, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.  In order to be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class.  Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
