CIBUS INC Stock Price, News & Analysis

Cibus (NASDAQ: CBUS) has successfully completed the FDA's Plant Biotechnology Consultation Program for its altered lignin alfalfa trait, developed in partnership with S&W Seed Company. The FDA confirmed it has no further questions regarding the use of this gene-edited alfalfa in food or feed applications.

The altered lignin alfalfa offers two key benefits: potential improved digestibility for livestock and greater harvest timing flexibility for farmers. S&W Seed Company plans to commercialize two initial variety offerings - a fall dormancy five variety and a fall dormancy seven variety - marking the first commercial gene-edited alfalfa varieties in the United States.

Cibus (CBUS) announced an ongoing collaboration with the John Innes Centre (JIC) to develop a groundbreaking nutrient use efficiency (NUE) trait for commercial crops. The partnership builds on JIC's discovery of a genetic mutation that enhances plant-microbe interactions for improved nutrient uptake, potentially reducing fertilizer requirements without impacting yields. The collaboration focuses on translating this discovery into traits for various crops, with Cibus already reporting successful editing of Canola plants. The development is particularly significant as typically only one-third of applied fertilizer is absorbed by plants, making this innovation potentially transformative for sustainable and profitable farming practices.

Cibus (NASDAQ: CBUS), a leading agricultural biotechnology company, has completed its previously announced public offering, raising $27.5 million through the sale of 15,714,285 shares of Class A Common Stock at $1.75 per share. Notable participants included institutional and strategic investors, with the Chairman of Cibus' board of directors purchasing 5,714,286 shares. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners served as the sole placement agent. The company plans to utilize the net proceeds to advance the development of weed management productivity traits in Rice and for working capital purposes while pursuing longer-term financing. The offering was conducted under an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC.

Cibus (NASDAQ: CBUS) announced that its herbicide tolerance trait (HT2) in Canola has received a 'not regulated' designation from the USDA-APHIS Biotechnology Regulatory Services. This marks Cibus' 17th trait to receive this designation, following recent approval of their disease resistance traits in Canola. The HT2 trait, developed using Cibus' Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS), aims to provide farmers with advanced weed management solutions, particularly targeting weeds resistant to commonly-used herbicides. The technology is especially significant for broad acre crops like Canola and Soybean, where weed control directly impacts crop yields. This regulatory milestone reinforces Cibus' momentum in both U.S. and international markets as they continue developing productivity and agronomic traits.
