Cibus, Inc. Announces Proposed Public Offering of Class A Common Stock

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cibus, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBUS), a leading agricultural biotechnology company that uses proprietary gene editing technologies to develop plant traits (or specific genetic characteristics) in seeds, today announced that it intends to offer shares of its Class A common stock in an underwritten public offering. Cibus also expects to grant to the underwriters of the offering a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the shares of Class A common stock offered in the underwritten public offering on the same terms and conditions. The offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering. Certain existing institutional and accredited investors and Rory Riggs, Cibus’ Chief Executive Officer, have indicated an interest in purchasing shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering. Because these indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, those certain existing investors and Mr. Riggs may elect not to purchase any shares in this offering, or the underwriters may elect not to sell any shares in this offering to those certain existing investors or Mr. Riggs.

Roth Capital Partners and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners are acting as joint bookrunning managers for the offering.

Cibus intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund further development of new and improvement of existing seed traits, Trait Machine operations, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The securities will be offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-273062), including a base prospectus, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 30, 2023, and declared effective by the SEC on October 27, 2023.

About Cibus

Cibus is a leader in gene edited productivity traits that address critical productivity and sustainability challenges for farmers such as diseases and pests which the United Nations estimates cost the global economy approximately $300 billion annually. Cibus is not a seed company. It is a technology company that uses gene editing to develop and license traits to seed companies in exchange for royalties on seed sales. Cibus' focus is productivity traits for farmers for the major global row crops with large acreage such as canola, corn, rice, soybean, and wheat. Cibus is a technology leader in high throughput gene editing technology that enables Cibus to develop and commercialize plant traits at a fraction of the time and cost of conventional breeding. Cibus has developed a pipeline of five productivity traits including important traits for Pod Shatter Reduction, Sclerotinia (disease) resistance, and weed management. Its initial traits for Pod Shatter Reduction and weed management are in commercial development with leading seed companies. Its other pipeline traits including Sclerotinia resistance are in advanced greenhouse and field trial stages.
