Inc. develops highly valuable natural product compounds using its proprietary cell-free exozyme technology. This platform enables the
development of manufacturing biosolutions and the efficient production of complex, hard-to-make molecules such as NCT (N-trans-caffeoyltyramine).
NCT, currently one of our leading development efforts, is a naturally occurring small-molecule product known to boost metabolism by burning
more fat and converting it into energy. We believe it holds the potential to be used for weight loss, liver, and gut health. The Powered-by-eXoZymes
biosolution for NCT, is a business opportunity for both the Over-The-Counter (OTC) health supplements market and as a foundation for
drug discovery and development program targeting unmet medical needs.</FONT></P>

eXoZymes, we believe that the next generation of biomanufacturing will be defined by cell-free methods. Cell-free biomanufacturing sidesteps
many of the conventional production bottlenecks and constraints associated with conventional production, enabling a level of control
over end-products that traditional methods cannot achieve. The eXoZymes biotechnology platform enables biosolutions capable of producing
complex molecules beyond the limits of traditional extraction from natural feedstock, petrochemical synthesis of oil and gas, and old-style
cell-based synthetic biology (SynBio). Small molecules play a central role in modern life. They form the basis of many medicines, nutritional
ingredients, fragrances, materials, and other essential applications. As global demand for these compounds continues to grow, biomanufacturing
technologies are evolving systems that can operate with greater precision, consistency, and scalability, while being more sustainable.
Cell-free biomanufacturing is an emerging solution to address this global development need. eXoZymes is at the forefront of this paradigm
shift in biomanufacturing and is working to deliver cell-free enzyme-based production of many high-value compounds and natural products
at commercial scale.</FONT></P>

extraction of natural compounds often requires substantial quantities of plant or biological material due to the low concentration of
the needed target molecules. Beyond being resource-intensive, these extraction technologies often produce inconsistent yields, face supply-chain
security issues, bottlenecks, and are difficult to scale to dependable and consistent commercial volumes. As a result, this extraction
method is generally not reliable, cost-effective, or even feasible to produce sufficient quantities of natural compounds needed in areas
such as nutrition supplements, fragrance, or pharmaceuticals.</FONT></P>

synthesis has supported large-scale chemical production for decades. These conventional chemical methods are not well suited for producing
certain natural product structures or related derivatives. Many complex, naturally occurring molecules remain difficult to produce efficiently
through synthetic chemistry, creating supply limitations for select categories of compounds.</FONT></P>

company is developing technology designed to enable production of molecules through enzyme-based, cell-free biochemical systems. These
exozymes systems are built with bioengineered enzymes that are genetically enhanced by using AI and special laboratory techniques, enabling
the enzyme production pathways to operate outside of living cells. A feature formally believed to be impossible. Implementing enzymatic
pathways in a cell-free environment can reduce certain constraints associated with normal cellular metabolism, including toxicity, cell
viability, growth requirements, and sensitivity to intermediates or concentrations of end-product.</FONT></P>

cell-free approach is described as a framework that allows enzymes to perform targeted biochemical conversions in controlled reaction
conditions, allowing for step-by-step engineering-level control, not available in cell-based biomanufacturing. Efforts to develop scalable
cell-free production systems can therefore provide an additional route for accessing complex natural products and their derivatives beyond
traditional extraction, conventional chemical synthesis, or cell-based SynBio. The applicability of the cell-free approach vary by compound
class and may be subject to technical feasibility, regulatory requirements, and continued research.</FONT></P>

corporate law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares, except in certain limited circumstances. However,
the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which would apply for so long as our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder approval
of certain issuances (other than a public offering) that equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding
number of shares of common stock, as well as for certain issuances of stock in compensatory transactions. These additional shares may
be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved shares of common stock may be to enable our board of directors to sell
shares to persons friendly to current management, for such consideration, in form and amount, as is acceptable to the board of directors,
which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy
contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell
their common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.</FONT></P>

collectively as debt securities. The following description summarizes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities. We will

any series of debt securities in the prospectus supplement relating to the series and any applicable free writing prospectus that we

may issue senior debt securities from time to time, in one or more series, which may be issued under a senior indenture to be entered
into between us and a senior trustee to be named in a prospectus supplement, which we refer to as the senior trustee. We may issue subordinated
debt securities from time to time, in one or more series, which may be issued under a subordinated indenture to be entered into between
us and a subordinated trustee to be named in a prospectus supplement, which we refer to as the subordinated trustee. While it is highly
likely that any debt securities we issue will be issued under an indenture, we reserve the right to issue debt securities other than
under an indenture pursuant to an exemption from the indenture requirement under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Any debt securities
issued by us other than pursuant to an indenture will subject the purchasers of such debt securities to certain unique risks arising
from the lack of a trustee charged with the responsibility of monitoring the debt securities and enforcing the rights of the holders
of such debt securities, which will be set forth in a prospectus supplement filed with regard to such unindentured debt securities.</FONT></P>

we issue debt securities other than under an indenture, we will likely be limited to issuing a maximum of $50 million of such debt securities,
and it is also likely that such debt securities will be unsecured and subordinated. Any indenture regarding debt securities issued by
us will not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. The debt securities or applicable indenture, if any, will provide
that debt securities may be issued up to an aggregate principal amount authorized from time to time by us and may be payable in any currency
or currency unit designated by us or in amounts determined by reference to an index.</FONT></P>

bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate
member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering
transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions.

or related to changes in the price of the securities. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions, we may enter into security
lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters or agents. The underwriters or agents may effect the derivative transactions through
sales of the securities to the public, including short sales, or by lending the securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions
by others. The underwriters or agents may also use the securities purchased or borrowed from us or others (or, in the case of derivatives,
securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle sales of the securities or close out
any related open borrowings of the securities.</FONT></P>
