Briefing

Announced proposed merger with Cibus Global and filed initial registration statement on Form S-4.

Calyxt reported its Q4 2022 financial results, highlighting a merger agreement with Cibus Global and advancements in customer projects. The quarter saw nominal revenue due to the wind-down of the soybean product line, but also a decrease in operating expenses due to management actions. The company's cash runway is sufficient to fund operations through the second quarter of 2023, considering interim funding from Cibus.

  • Announced a definitive merger agreement with Cibus Global, expected to close in Q2 2023.
  • Continued progress on customer projects, including a pilot project for a major consumer packaged goods company.
  • Achieved a milestone payment for the development of its soybean-based palm oil alternative plant trait.
  • Signed an agreement with Evologic Technologies to further develop and scale its Plant Cell Matrix and BioFactory technologies.
