UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Introductory Note
On May 31, 2023, Cibus, Inc. (the Company or Cibus, and prior to the closing of the Mergers, Calyxt, Inc.) completed its business combination in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 13, 2023, as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated as of April 14, 2023 (as amended, the Merger Agreement), by and among Calyxt, Inc.; Calypso Merger Subsidiary, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Calyxt, Inc. (Merger Subsidiary); Cibus Global, LLC, (Cibus Global); and certain blocker entities (the Blockers), pursuant to which, among other matters, (a) each of the Blockers merged with and into Calyxt, Inc., (c) following the Blocker Mergers, Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Cibus Global (the Cibus Merger and, collectively with the Blocker Mergers, the Mergers), with Cibus Global as the surviving company and Merger Subsidiary ceasing to exist. In connection with the Mergers, Calyxt, Inc. contributed all of its assets and liabilities to Cibus Global, as a contribution to the capital of Cibus Global, in exchange for newly issued membership units of Cibus Global, pursuant to a contribution agreement between Calyxt, Inc. and Cibus Global. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the effective time, the Company changed its name from Calyxt, Inc. to Cibus, Inc. When the terms Calyxt, Inc. or Calyxt are used, they are being used to exclusively refer to Calyxt, Inc. prior to the Mergers. When the term Cibus Global is used, it is being used to refer to Cibus Global, LLC, both prior to and after the completion of the Mergers.
On May 31, 2023, and prior to the Mergers, Calyxt effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its common stock (the Second Reverse Stock Split). In addition, on April 24, 2023, Calyxt effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock (the First Reverse Stock Split and, together with the Second Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Splits).
In the Mergers, the Company was organized in an Up-C structure, and the Companys only material asset consists of membership units of Cibus Global. The Companys amended and restated certificate of incorporation designated two classes of the Companys common stock (Common Stock): (i) Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class A Common Stock), which shares have full voting and economic rights, and (ii) Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class B Common Stock), which shares have full voting, but no economic rights.
At the closing of the Mergers, each share of Calyxt common stock existing and outstanding immediately prior to the Mergers remained outstanding as a share of Class A Common Stock, and the Company issued an aggregate of 16,527,484 shares of Class A Common Stock, including 1,019,282 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock, and 4,642,636 shares of Class B Common Stock to Cibus Global equityholders, based on an exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Terms used, but not otherwise defined in this Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information have the meaning ascribed to them in the Q2 Form 10-Q.
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents the combination of the historical financial statements of the Company and the historical financial statements of Cibus Global through the consummation of the Mergers, after giving effect to the Mergers.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information gives effect to the transaction accounting adjustments, which consist of the Mergers, and the Reverse Stock Splits.
In the unaudited pro forma combined financial information, the Mergers have been accounted for as a business combination, using the acquisition method of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP or GAAP) where the Company is considered the acquirer of Cibus Global for accounting purposes. For accounting purposes, the acquirer is the entity that has obtained control of another entity and, thus, consummated a business combination. The determination of whether control has been obtained begins with the evaluation of whether control should be evaluated under the variable interest or voting interest model pursuant to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (ASC 810). If the acquiree is a variable interest entity, the primary beneficiary would be the accounting acquirer. Cibus Global meets the definition of a variable interest entity, and the Company, which is the managing member of Cibus Global, has been determined to be the primary beneficiary.
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations data for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, gives effect to the Mergers as if they took place on January 1, 2022, and combines the historical results of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2023, (which includes the contribution of Cibus Global for one month) and the year ended December 31, 2022, with historical results of Cibus Global for the five months ended May 31, 2023, and for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. An unaudited balance sheet has not been presented as the acquisition has been fully reflected in the consolidated balance sheet included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2023, (the Q2 Form 10-Q), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on August 10, 2023.
The historical financial statements of the Company and Cibus Global have been adjusted to give pro forma effect to reflect the accounting for the transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the Company, including all of its subsidiaries (including Cibus Global) (collectively on a consolidated basis, the Combined Company) upon consummation of the Mergers.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on assumptions and adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and is for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the Combined Company will experience. The actual amounts recorded as of the completion of the Mergers may differ materially from the information presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information, including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Cibus Global as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A of Cibus, Inc. filed with the SEC on June 29, 2023 (the Form 8-K/A), the Companys interim financial statements as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, included in the Q2 Form 10-Q, and the audited financial statements of Calyxt, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in Calyxt Inc.s annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023 (as amended on the Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2023).

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, was prepared using the historical consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2023, (which included the contribution of Cibus Global for one month) and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the historical results of Cibus Global for the five months ended May 31, 2023, and for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, and gives effect to the Mergers as if they occurred on January 1, 2022. An unaudited balance sheet has not been presented as the acquisition has been fully reflected in the consolidated balance sheet included in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on August 10, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. The Company is deemed the accounting acquirer in the Mergers for accounting purposes and Cibus Global is treated as the accounting acquiree. For accounting purposes, the acquirer is the entity that has obtained control of another entity and, thus, consummated a business combination. The determination of whether control has been obtained begins with the evaluation of whether control should be evaluated under the variable interest or voting interest model pursuant to ASC 810. If the acquiree is a variable interest entity, the primary beneficiary would be the accounting acquirer. Cibus Global meets the definition of a variable interest entity and the Company, which is the managing member of Cibus Global, has been determined to be the primary beneficiary.
The acquisition of Cibus Global was accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. Certain data to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available, including, but not limited to, final appraisals of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company will finalize the purchase price allocation during the 12-month period following the acquisition date, during which time the value of the assets and liabilities may be revised as appropriate.
Significant judgment is required in determining the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, predominantly with respect to property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets. Evaluations included numerous inputs, including forecasted cash flows that incorporate the specific attributes of each asset.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not include the impact of any cost or other operating synergies that may result from the Mergers or any related restructuring costs that may be contemplated.
To the extent there are significant changes to the business of the Combined Company following completion of the Mergers, the assumptions and estimates set forth in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information could change significantly. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are conducted following the completion of the Mergers. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses will not result in material changes, including the estimates of fair value of Cibus Globals assets and liabilities.
2. PURCHASE PRICE
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflects a purchase price of approximately $634.8 million, which consists of the following:
Number of shares of Common Stock received by Cibus Global, LLC equityholders as merger consideration (1) |
20,150,838 | |||

$ | 31.50 | ||
|
|
|||
Purchase price |
$ | 634,751,397 | ||
|
|
(1) | This share number represents the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued to Cibus Global members in the Mergers and comprises: 15,508,202 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,642,636 shares of Class B Common Stock. This share number excludes 1,019,282 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as issued and outstanding for financial statement presentation purposes only after such awards have vested and, therefore, have ceased to be subject to a risk of forfeiture. |
(2) | Reflects the purchase price per share of the Companys Class A Common Stock, which was the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on May 31, 2023, the closing date of the Mergers. |

This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet. The purchase price allocation for the Companys acquisition of Cibus Global is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available. As permitted under ASC 805, the Company is allowed a measurement period, which may not exceed one year, in which to complete its accounting for the acquisition.
4. SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUED TO CIBUS GLOBAL EQUITYHOLDERS UPON CLOSING OF THE MERGERS
At the closing of the Mergers, all outstanding Cibus Global equity converted into the right to receive shares of Common Stock as consideration for the Mergers in the amounts as set forth in an allocation schedule provided for in the Merger Agreement and updated as of May 31, 2023, which resulted at the closing of the Mergers, in the Company issuing to holders of Cibus Global equity instruments an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock representing approximately 95% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock at closing. The allocation schedule was based on an exchange ratio of approximately 0.0634 determined as of January 13, 2023, based on stipulated values of Cibus Global and Calyxt, Inc. At the closing of the Mergers, the Company issued an aggregate of 20,150,838 shares of Common Stock to holders of Cibus Global equity instruments, determined as follows:

Total Cibus, Inc. post-Mergers shares of common stock received by Cibus Global equityholders as merger consideration |
20,150,838 | |||
|
|
(1) Per the Merger Agreement, the outstanding non-voting restricted common units of Cibus Global, as well as outstanding warrants to purchase units of Cibus Global, converted based on the fair value of such units, as a percentage of the Calyxt Inc. common stock value, multiplied by the conversion ratio of approximately 0.0515. This resulted in a weighted average conversion ratio applicable to the units which varies from the conversion ratio applied to Cibus Global preferred units and pre-Mergers Cibus Global non-voting common units without an applied threshold value.
The exchange ratio has been adjusted to give retrospective effect to the Reverse Stock Splits.
5. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information includes pro forma adjustments that reflect transaction accounting adjustments, as well as other adjustments deemed to be directly related to the Mergers and the Reverse Stock Splits, irrespective of whether or not such adjustments are deemed to be recurring.
Based on the Companys review of Cibus Globals summary of significant accounting policies, the nature and amount of any adjustments to the historical financial statements of Cibus Global to conform to the Companys accounting policies were not significant.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflects the Reverse Stock Splits. The pro forma adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that may change significantly as additional information is obtained, are as follows:
(a) To reflect transaction costs of $3.5 million in connection with the Mergers, such as adviser, legal, and accounting expenses that were incurred by Calyxt, Inc. as an increase in selling, general, and administrative expense in the unaudited proforma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022; and a decrease of $3.5 million in selling, general, and administrative expense in the unaudited proforma combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023, for the portion of costs expensed in the period.
(b) The pro forma combined basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock have been adjusted to reflect the pro forma net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock used in calculating the pro forma combined basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock has been adjusted to reflect the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock that were outstanding as of the closing of the Mergers.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and year ended December 31, 2022, the pro forma weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding has been calculated as follows:

(1) In-process research and development (IPR&D) assets are initially recognized at fair value and are classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the research and development period after the closing date of the Mergers, these assets will not be amortized. Such IPR&D projects will become amortizable when applicable products, which are currently in various stages of development, are complete.
