In other recent news, Benson Hill, Inc. has been at the center of several key developments. The company's third-quarter results were in line with expectations, as noted by Oppenheimer, which maintained its Perform rating for the plant-based technology firm. The company is preparing for significant growth, with over 30 soybean varieties expected to be available in 2025, potentially increasing the company's scale by 60%.

Benson Hill also announced the resignation of J. Stephan Dolezalek from its Board of Directors, with no disagreements cited as the cause. The company has terminated its exclusive agreement with Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:ADM), opting instead for a non-exclusive seed supply contract, allowing the commercialization and sale of certain high-protein soybean seed varieties.

Additionally, Benson Hill executed a 1-for-35 reverse stock split, reducing its outstanding shares from approximately 213 million to around 6 million, while maintaining unchanged voting power and business operations. The company is also exploring strategic alternatives, including a potential sale, following a preliminary indication of interest from Argonautic Ventures Master SPC and other co-investors. A special committee has been formed to review these alternatives.
