$ORGN I am seeing misinformation on cash needs following elevated redemptions. A thread to hopefully clarify. Some of this is my opinion post calls with the company and comparing to $PCT. As always, open to pushback.
TLDR: I don't think they will need to raise equity

The #SPAC was too large for this deal (my opinion). As a result they did one of the smaller PIPEs, despite announcing the transaction during the hottest point in the PIPE cycle. Many large institutional funds were scaled back significantly

Planning for no redemptions, this forced $ORGN to show very conservative plant financing - otherwise there would be too much cash and the deal wouldn't make sense. Let's compare the plant financing assumptions to $PCT, the debt % is still lower in the revised case!

This increases my view that $ORGN's initial project finance assumptions were very conservative. In speaking with the company I believe even the 70% debt is conservative (banks offering more leverage) which is supported by the $PCT data. See the respective slides attached

One other observation: despite not generating revenue for another year (like $ORGN) $PCT has been able to put debt financing in place - $250mm in bonds to support the construction of its first plant in Ohio.

$ORGN has no interest in issuing equity . Things change and issues come up, but if they can execute on the current plan on the current timeline I don't believe additional equity issuance is required
