                  WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Origin Materials, Inc., the world’s leading carbon negative materials company, announced today that it has completed its previously announced business combination with Artius Acquisition Inc. (“Artius”) (NASDAQ: AACQ, AACQW).

                  The transaction was unanimously approved by Artius’ Board of Directors and was approved at an extraordinary general meeting of Artius shareholders on June 23, 2021. In connection with the closing, Artius changed its name to Origin Materials, Inc. (“Origin Materials,” “Origin,” or the “Company”). The ticker symbols for the common stock and warrants of Origin will change from “AACQ” and “AACQW” to “ORGN” and “ORGNW”, respectively and will begin trading as such on the Nasdaq on June 25, 2021.

                  Company Background

                  Founded in 2008, Origin is the world’s leading carbon negative materials company with a mission to enable the world’s transition to sustainable materials. Origin’s patented drop-in technology, economics and carbon impact are supported by a growing list of major global customers and investors. Origin’s technology has been further supported by an ISO-compliant Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) which concluded that Origin’s products are expected to be carbon negative when produced at commercial scale.

                  While an estimated 55% of global carbon emissions come from energy generation and transport, the other 45% come from the production of materials for consumer and industrial products. More than ten million barrels of oil per day are used to create materials, in the process releasing new carbon into the atmosphere. Origin’s vision for the future is to replace this oil use with non-food feedstocks and materials while capturing carbon in the process.

                  Origin Materials’ patented technology platform, which turns inexpensive, plentiful, sustainable wood residues into carbon negative materials, can help revolutionize the production of a wide range of end products, including clothing, textiles, plastics, packaging, car parts, tires, carpeting, toys, and more with a ~$1 trillion addressable market. In addition, Origin Materials’ technology platform is expected to provide stable pricing largely decoupled from the petroleum supply chain, which is exposed to more volatility than supply chains based on sustainable wood residues.

                  Since announcing the business combination with Artius on February 17, 2021, Origin Materials has increased its customer demand from signed offtake agreements and capacity reservations by 90% to $1.9 billion from the $1 billion previously disclosed. This increase also greatly expanded the Company’s end markets beyond its Fortune Global 500 CPG customers – Danone, Nestlé Waters, PepsiCo – to include industrial and apparel textiles, automotive parts, insulating foams and other applications.

                  The Company also implemented the following new and expanded partnerships and customer relationships:

                  • June 15, 2021: Strategic alliance with Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) to accelerate the world’s transition to net zero carbon focused on decarbonizing the global materials supply chain.
                  • June 10, 2021: Launched Net Zero Automotive program with Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) focused on industrializing new materials to drive decarbonization in the automotive industry
                  • April 27, 2021: Partnership with Mitsubishi Gas Chemical to industrialize advanced carbon negative chemicals and materials for applications in the automotive, medical, food, information and communication, energy, and infrastructure sectors.
                  • April 20, 2021: Partnership with Solvay to develop advanced carbon negative materials for the automotive industry.
                  • April 19, 2021: Strategic alliance with PrimaLoft to develop carbon negative insulating fiber for outdoor gear, bedding and apparel. PrimaLoft’s iconic brand partners include Patagonia, Stone Island, L.L. Bean, Lululemon, adidas and Nike.
                  • April 12, 2021: Partnership with Packaging Matters to advance carbon negative packaging solutions, building on an existing 10-year supply agreement.
                  • April 6, 2021: Partnership with AECI Much Asphalt to develop low-carbon asphalt.
                  • April 5, 2021: Partnership with AEC SANS Technical Fiber to develop carbon negative materials for apparel and automotive applications.

                  Management Commentary:

                  John Bissell, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Origin Materials, commented, “We are excited to complete this transaction, which will further accelerate our growth and mission of enabling the world’s transition to sustainable, carbon negative materials. The materials supply chain accounts for nearly half of all global carbon emissions, creating a significant opportunity to decarbonize materials that are used in products across a wide range of end markets. We believe our breakthrough technology provides countless companies that make physical products with the ability to drastically reduce their emissions in a cost-effective manner.”

                  Rich Riley, Co-CEO of Origin Materials, commented, “Our strategic customer base has grown dramatically, driven by new partnerships with industry-leading companies that are at the forefront of decarbonization and corporate sustainability. With the capital from this transaction, we are well positioned to scale our technology platform and help our customers meet their decarbonization and ESG goals. We are energized by the exciting opportunities that lie ahead as we commercialize our technology and transition to a world of net zero carbon.”

                  Boon Sim, Chief Executive Officer of Artius, commented, “We pursued a merger with Origin Materials because we wanted to make sure that we invested in a company with technology that has been tested and validated. We conducted significant due diligence evaluating their technology and their expanded customer base is further validation of their technology’s ability to help the world transition to net zero carbon. With their breakthrough technology and significant customer base we are highly confident in Origin’s ability to disrupt the materials supply chain and enable their customers’ decarbonization goals, which we believe will deliver significant long-term shareholder value.”

                  Transaction Overview

                  The transaction previously valued at approximately $1 billion is supported by existing and new investors, including Danone, Nestlé Waters, PepsiCo, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical and AECI, as well as certain funds and accounts managed by Sylebra Capital, Senator Investment Group, Electron Capital Partners, BNP Paribas AM Energy Transition Fund and affiliates of Apollo. Origin Materials will use the proceeds to fund the Company’s planned growth, including the completion and commissioning of its first commercial plant, which is expected to be operational in 2022, and of its second commercial plant, which is expected to be operational in 2025.

                  Origin’s senior management team will continue to lead the combined company. The Board of Directors of the combined company will consist of John Bissell, Benno O. Dorer, Charles Drucker, Kathleen B. Fish, William Harvey, Pia Heidenmark Cook, Karen Richardson, Rich Riley and Boon Sim.

                  A more detailed description of the transaction can be found in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on May 27, 2021.
