Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The Company may also make forward-looking statements in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in materials delivered to stockholders, and in press releases. In addition, the Company’s representatives may from time-to-time make oral forward-looking statements.

The Company has made these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “scheduled,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these terms and other similar terminology. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include statements about the Company’s future financial performance, including its liquidity and capital resources, cost saving initiatives and their impact on annual cash burn rates, cash runway, and its ability to continue as a going concern; the advancement, timing and progress of the Company’s platform development and trait development in crop platforms; the ability to obtain partner funding to support its non-Rice productivity trait portfolio; the anticipated timing for the presentation of data related to trait development and other operational activities; the timeframes for transferring traits in customers’ elite germplasm; the ability to implement commercial agreements with potential customers, the timeframe for commercialization of germplasm with the Company’s traits by seed company customers and the integration of Cibus technology into customer pipelines; the timing for, and degree of, adoption by farmers of germplasm with the Company’s traits following commercialization; the capacity of the Company’s productivity traits to deliver competitive yield improvements; the ability of gene editing to address climate change at scale; the timing and nature of regulatory developments relating to gene editing; the market opportunity for the Company’s plant traits, including the number of addressable acres, and the trait fees that the Company expects to receive; and the Company’s ability to enter into and maintain significant collaborations and commercial relationships. These and other forward-looking statements are predictions and projections about future events and trends based on the Company’s current expectations, objectives, and intentions and are premised on current assumptions. The Company’s actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements could be materially different than those expressed, implied, or anticipated by forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: the Company’s need for additional near-term funding to finance its activities and challenges in obtaining additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all; changes in expected or existing competition; challenges to the Company’s

Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 17, 2026, or as they may be updated or supplemented from time-to-time in the Company’s subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K filed with the SEC.
