Vision Bioenergy Oilseeds, LLC ("Vision") License
On February 14, 2024, the Company granted Vision Bioenergy Oilseeds, LLC a global license to certain proprietary spring and winter Camelina varieties, including varieties exhibiting herbicide tolerance. Under the license, Vision has a three-year period of exclusivity to commercialize the licensed traits and varieties for use in biofuels. Once that period elapses, the license granted to Vision will convert to a non-exclusive status worldwide. In consideration for the license and the Company’s completion of certain near-term deliverables, Vision will make cash payments to the Company totaling $3,000. The Company retained the right to sublicense these Camelina traits and plant varieties, as well as continue to utilize and develop the varieties to produce omega-3 oil and other Camelina oil and meal products.
