ToolGen Incorporated Appoints Dave Boncheun Koo as New Chief Legal Officer and Executive Vice President ToolGen announced the appointment of Dave Boncheun Koo, a U.S. attorney and renowned expert in international litigation and negotiation, as its new Chief Legal Officer (CLO) and Executive Vice President. This strategic move signals ToolGen's determination to aggressively enforce its global patent rights and convert its intellectual property (IP) into substantial and recurring revenue. This strategic reinforcement reflects management's unwavering commitment to translate ToolGen's robust IP portfolio into measurable royalty income and sustainable cash flow worldwide. EVP Yoori Kim, who leads ToolGen's IP business, has significantly strengthened the company's CRISPR RNP (Ribonucleoprotein) patent portfolio through 2025, equipping ToolGen with "decisive weaponry" for monetization. Furthermore, she established a dominant strategic foundation by securing a ruling from the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) to resume Interference proceedings, reinforcing the strength and priority of ToolGen's foundational patents. ToolGen noted that her sophisticated roadmap and extensive IP groundwork have officially ushered the company into the "Revenue Generation Phase." Upon assuming his role, EVP Koo will be focused on two strategic priorities: accelerating patent monetization through global litigation and successfully concluding the U.S. Interference proceedings to be resumed. ToolGen will mobilize its full resources to pursue ongoing patent infringement actions against Vertex, which were filed sequentially in the UK (April), the Netherlands (September), and the U.S. (November) in 2025. Leveraging over 25 years of expertise in high-stakes dispute resolution at top-tier law firms like Kim & Chang, Koo will seek just compensation from global companies using ToolGen's patented technologies without authorization while simultaneously advancing favorable licensing agreements. In parallel, he will execute rigorous and persuasive advocacy in the upcoming U.S. Interference proceedings to defend ToolGen's technological leadership and foundational patent rights. Koo holds a B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and a J.D. from Loyola Law School. He previously served as Senior Foreign Counsel at Kim & Chang and Yulchon LLC, and as a Senior Associate at Baker & McKenzie and Paul Hastings, where he led victories and high-value settlements in major patent disputes among global ICT and biotechnology leaders, including cases involving semiconductors, displays, and next-generation light source technologies. He is a member of the California State Bar and a Registered Patent Attorney before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Dec 29

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Revenue has declined by 0.5% over the past year. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If revenues are declining, then it is difficult for the company to prevent its earnings from declining as well. A trend of falling revenue can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Revenue has declined by 0.5% over the past year. Revenue is less than US$1m (₩999m revenue, or US$711k). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.6% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (7.8% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Nov 23
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 7.8% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (₩1.1b revenue, or US$762k). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.6% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (7.8% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Oct 30
