<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We are a leading United States producer
and marketer of specialty alcohols and essential ingredients.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We operate seven strategically located production
distilleries. Three of our distilleries are located in the Midwestern state of Illinois and four of our distilleries are located
in the Western states of California, Oregon and Idaho. Our distilleries have a combined specialty alcohols production capacity
of 450 million gallons per year. We market all of the specialty alcohols produced at our distilleries as well as fuel-grade ethanol
produced by third parties. In 2019, we marketed nearly 1.0 billion gallons combined of specialty alcohols, including fuel-grade
ethanol, and nearly 3.0 million tons of essential ingredients on a dry matter basis. Our business consists of two operating segments:
a production segment and a marketing segment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our mission is to be a leading United States
producer and marketer of specialty alcohols and essential ingredients. We intend to accomplish this goal in part by investing in
our specialized and higher value production and distribution infrastructure, expanding production in high demand essential ingredients,
expanding and extending the sale of our products into new regional and international markets, building efficiencies and economies
of scale and by capturing a greater portion of the value stream.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"><I>Production Segment</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"><I>&nbsp;</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We produce specialty alcohols and essential
ingredients, focusing on four key markets: <I>Health, Home &amp; Beauty; Food &amp; Beverage; Essential Ingredients; and Renewable
Fuels</I>. Products for the Health, Home &amp; Beauty market include specialty alcohols used in mouthwash, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals,
hand sanitizer, disinfectants and cleaners. Products for the Food &amp; Beverage markets include grain neutral spirits used in
alcoholic beverages and vinegar as well as corn germ used for corn oils. Products for Essential Ingredients markets include yeast,
corn gluten and distillers grains used in commercial animal feed and pet foods. Renewable Fuels includes fuel-grade ethanol and
distillers corn oil used as a feedstock for renewable diesel fuel.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We produce these products at our distilleries
described below. Our distilleries located in the Midwest are in the heart of the Corn Belt, benefit from low-cost and abundant
feedstock and enjoy logistical advantages that enable us to provide our products to both domestic and international markets via
truck, rail or barge. Our distilleries located on the West Coast are near their respective fuel and feed customers, offering significant
delivery, transportation cost and logistical advantages.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We are currently operating only approximately
51% of our total production capacity. As market conditions change, we may increase, decrease or idle production at one or more
operating distilleries or resume operations at any idled distillery.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We have extensive and longstanding relationships,
both domestic and international, with customers for our specialty alcohols products and essential ingredients. These customers

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Our fuel-grade ethanol customers are located
throughout the Western and Midwestern United States and consist of integrated oil companies and gasoline marketers who blend fuel-grade
ethanol into gasoline. Our fuel-grade ethanol customers collectively require fuel-grade ethanol volumes in excess of what we produce
at our production distilleries. We secure additional fuel-grade ethanol supplies from third-party fuel-grade ethanol plants in
California and other third-party suppliers in the Midwest where a majority of fuel-grade ethanol producers are located. We arrange
for transportation, storage and delivery of fuel-grade ethanol purchased by our customers through our agreements with third-party
service providers in the Western United States as well as in the Midwest from a variety of sources.&nbsp;</P>

products to dairies and feedlots, in many cases located near our distilleries. These customers use our feed products for livestock
as a substitute for corn and other sources of starch and protein. We sell our corn oil to poultry and biodiesel customers. We do

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We recently implemented a strategic realignment
of our business. Historically, we were heavily focused on producing fuel-grade ethanol for the transportation fuels market. Although
we intend to continue producing renewable fuels for the foreseeable future, we have redirected our business focus to producing
and marketing other specialty alcohols and a range of essential ingredients for consumer products.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Beginning with our acquisition of Illinois
Corn Processing in 2017 and continuing with our ongoing expansion of specialty alcohol production, we have invested heavily in
developing the capability to produce specialty alcohols and essential ingredients for consumer products, including alcoholic beverages,
personal care products, cleaners and pharmaceuticals. Over the past nine months, we have increased production of specialty alcohols
used in consumer products and reduced production of fuel-grade ethanol, shifting from approximately 85% fuel-grade ethanol and
15% other specialty alcohols for the three months ended December 31, 2019 to approximately 50% each for the three months ended
September 30, 2020.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Excluding sales of fuel-grade ethanol produced
by third parties included in our marketing segment, specialty alcohols used in consumer products contributed approximately 45%
of our net sales during the first nine months of 2020, compared with only 15% for all of 2019. Specialty alcohols used in consumer
products sell at a premium to fuel-grade ethanol and require specialized systems, processes and certifications to produce them
that are not required for fuel-grade ethanol.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Following our strategic realignment, we
now focus on specialty alcohols and essential ingredients for four key markets: <I>Health, Home &amp; Beauty; Food &amp; Beverage;
Essential Ingredients; and Renewable Fuels</I>. Products for the Health, Home &amp; Beauty market include specialty alcohols used
in mouthwash, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, hand sanitizer, disinfectants and cleaners. Products for the Food &amp; Beverage markets
include grain neutral spirits used in alcoholic beverages and vinegar as well as corn germ used for corn oils. Products for Essential
Ingredients markets include yeast, corn gluten and distillers grains used in commercial animal feed and pet foods. Renewable Fuels
includes fuel-grade ethanol and distillers corn oil used as a feedstock for renewable diesel fuel.</P>

each holder of our Series A Preferred Stock a written notice of any proposed or intended issuance, sale or exchange of capital

upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged together with the identity of the persons or entities (if known) to which or

days from the expiration of this 30 day period to issue, sell or exchange all or any part of the securities as to which the offer
has not been accepted by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, but only as to the offerees or purchasers described in the

our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring and discouraging
another party from acquiring control of Pacific Ethanol. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage
coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire
control of Pacific Ethanol to first negotiate with our Board. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential
ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquiror outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire
Pacific Ethanol because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. However, the existence of
these provisions also could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay for our securities.</P>

day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day in advance of the anniversary of the previous year&rsquo;s annual
meeting if such meeting is to be held on a day which is not more than thirty (30) days in advance of the anniversary of the previous

of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions the Board does not approve in advance. We also anticipate

shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or any other exemption under the Securities Act, if
available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholder may transfer the shares of common stock by other
means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholder effects such transactions by selling shares of common stock
to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the
form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common
stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection
with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers,
which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling
stockholder may also sell the shares of common stock short and deliver the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to
close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholder may also loan
or pledge the shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.</P>

a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured
obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus
or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary,
the selling stockholder list to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as a selling stockholder under
this prospectus. The selling stockholder also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which
case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus.</P>

Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">In addition, our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws obligate us to indemnify our directors and officers against expenses and other amounts reasonably incurred in connection
with any proceeding arising from the fact that such person is or was an agent of ours. Our bylaws also authorize us to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against that person in that
capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify that person under the provisions of the DGCL. We have entered and
expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers as determined by our Board. These agreements
provide for indemnification of related expenses including attorneys&rsquo; fees and settlement amounts incurred by any of these
individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also maintain directors&rsquo; and officers&rsquo; liability
insurance.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The limitation of liability and indemnification
provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors
for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers,
even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder&rsquo;s investment may
be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required
by these indemnification provisions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Insofar as the provisions of our certificate
of incorporation or bylaws provide for indemnification of directors or officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act,
we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission this indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.</P>

we have not independently verified such matters. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents

of the originals of such copied documents. We have also assumed that the Warrant Shares will be evidenced by appropriate certificates
