Re: Confidential Submission of Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Our client, Artius Acquisition Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Cayman Islands (the “Registrant”), has submitted a draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”) to the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for confidential nonpublic review. The Draft Registration Statement relates to a proposed initial public offering and listing of the Registrant’s units, each consisting of one ordinary share and one-third of one warrant. The Registrant confirms that it is an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and is confidentially submitting the Draft Registration Statement to the Commission in accordance therewith.

Please contact me if you have any questions about this confidential submission.
