License Agreements License Agreements
In October 2019, the Company granted a non-exclusive license to J. R. Simplot ("Simplot"), to evaluate three of the Company's novel traits in potato. Under the license agreement, Simplot plans to conduct research with the yield traits C3003, C3004 and C4001 within its research and development program as a strategy to improve crop performance and sustainability.
In August 2020, the Company entered into a non-exclusive research agreement with GDM, a company specializing in plant genetics, to evaluate novel yield traits in soybean. Under the terms of the agreement, GDM is working with the Company's yield traits within its research and development program as a strategy to improve soybean yield performance and sustainability. The research agreement includes three novel yield traits in the first phase with the potential to expand the program to more traits in the future. In September 2023, the Company and GDM amended the research agreement to extend the term of the agreement through August 2025, in order to allow GDM more time to complete its evaluations.
Neither of these research arrangements provides licensing revenue to the Company while Simplot and GDM perform trait evaluations.
