Overview
Investors who purchased securities issued by Origin Materials, Inc. between specific dates may be eligible for compensation through a recently proposed class action settlement. The case, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, centers on allegations that the company and certain executives made misleading statements to investors in violation of federal securities laws. The lawsuit was originally brought by Antonio F. Soto and later consolidated with a related case.
Todd Frega was appointed as the lead plaintiff representing the class on December 14, 2023. The complaint alleges that Origin Materials, Inc. , along with executives John Bissell and Richard Riley, violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and related regulations through their conduct regarding company disclosures. The defendants moved to dismiss the complaint twice, with the court partially denying and partially granting the second motion to dismiss on February 12, 2025. Following discovery proceedings and a mediation session held on September 29, 2025, the parties reached a settlement agreement dated October 27, 2025.
The settlement has received preliminary approval from the court as of November 14, 2025. Class members have several options available to them. They may take no action and remain part of the settlement class. Alternatively, they may submit a claim to seek compensation from the settlement fund. Class members also have the right to opt out of the settlement entirely if they prefer to pursue their own legal remedies.
