Item 8.01

Other Events.

On July 13, 2020, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-239421) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of Artius Acquisition Inc. (the “Company”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Company subsequently filed, on July 13, 2020, a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-239841) pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which was effective immediately upon filing. On July 16, 2020, the Company consummated the IPO of 72,450,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 9,450,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise in full of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $724,500,000.

On July 13, 2020, the Company effected a share recapitalization with respect to the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, resulting in the Company’s initial shareholders holding an aggregate of 18,112,500 founder shares.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 11,326,667 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, Artius Acquisition Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $16,990,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO, except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company (except in certain redemption scenarios when the price per Class A Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted)), (ii) they (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, and (iv) they (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.

A total of $724,500,000, comprised of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not completed its business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.


In connection with the IPO, the Company adopted its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association on July 13, 2020 and entered into the following agreements, the forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement, on the dates indicated below:
