In December 2013, Calyxt, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Research and Commercial License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with a subsidiary of Bayer Aktiengesellschaft (“Bayer”), pursuant to which the Company granted Bayer a license to certain patents for the research and commercialization of products developed with TALEN® technology. The Company believes that Bayer has breached the License Agreement and, on March 12, 2018, the Company filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court requesting a declaration that the License Agreement has terminated for material breach and an order of specific performance requiring Bayer to comply with its post-termination obligations.

On May 15, 2018, Bayer agreed to settle the lawsuit that the Company brought. Under the settlement terms, the parties agreed that the License Agreement is terminated, that Bayer will destroy any technology, related product and confidential information covered by the License Agreement, and that Bayer will permanently abandon patent applications that are based on or include data related to the covered technology. This settlement confirms that Bayer and its subsidiaries have no access to Calyxt technology or intellectual property. The settlement was filed in Delaware Chancery Court on May 15, 2018.
