Codexis, Inc. Unveils Pioneering Enzymatic Synthesis Data to Enable the Future Manufacturing of RNAi Therapeutics Codexis, Inc. announced data from three presentations at the TIDES Europe annual meeting being held November 12-14, 2024, in Hamburg, Germany. The data demonstrate the Company’s rapid advancement of its Enzyme Catalyzed Oligonucleotide (ECO) Synthesis™ manufacturing platform and establish Codexis’ position at the forefront of enzymatic synthesis technology to enable to ongoing expansion of RNAi therapeutics. During an oral Spotlight Presentation, Codexis unveiled the successful end-to-end enzymatic synthesis of an entire approved siRNA therapeutic asset, inclisiran. Codexis enzymatically synthesized the full-length sense and antisense strands of the molecule, including the enzymatic incorporation of a tissue-targeting moiety to the sense strand. To date, this process has only been completed utilizing phosphoramidite chemistry, a process that involves the use of harsh chemical conditions and vast amounts of toxic organic solvents. By contrast, Codexis’ ECO Synthesis manufacturing platform operates under milder, aqueous conditions, that improves product quality and dramatically decreases chemical waste production. In addition to this fully enzymatic route of synthesis, the Company demonstrated similar outcomes utilizing three routes of enzymatic ligation to produce the siRNA therapeutic asset, combining oligonucleotide fragments made by sequential enzymatic synthesis and traditional phosphoramidite chemistry. Key data from the presentation include: Achieved incorporation efficiency of >98% during sequential enzymatic oligo synthesis. Successfully attached the tri-GalNAc tissue-targeting moiety by enzymatic ligation. Obtained full-length oligonucleotides of equal quality and yields, using ligation of short fragments made with enzymes or by traditional phosphoramidite chemistry. Now that Codexis has successfully achieved this unprecedented milestone, the Company will continue to optimize its process for robustness, scaled-up quantities and improved purity with the goal of providing customers with siRNA material of comparable or better quality to phosphoramidite chemistry. The Company anticipates ramping up manufacturing of siRNA in quantities for preclinical testing following the successful build out of its ECO Synthesis Innovation Lab at the end of this year. Two additional presentations focused on results of direct comparisons of Codexis’ engineered double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) ligases and wild-type (WT) enzymes when used to combine short oligonucleotide fragments to synthesize full-length siRNA therapeutic compounds. In a joint poster with Bachem, one of the world’s leading CDMOs in oligonucleotide manufacturing, the data provided compelling external validation of the superior performance of Codexis ligases over existing wild-type enzymes in use today. Codexis enzymes demonstrated superior performance over wild-type enzymes across both volumetric productivity and substrate versatility. These dsRNA ligases outperformed on multiple substrate designs and enabled a higher conversion rate of oligonucleotide fragments into siRNA at increased concentrations of raw materials. In a separate TIDES Talk presentation, Codexis demonstrated improved performance of its dsRNA ligase over WT enzymes based on real customer case studies executed through the Company’s RNA Ligase Screening and Optimization Services, launched in May 2024. Codexis’ engineered ligases delivered robust, in-process performance, including higher substrate loading, faster reaction times and improved conversation at elevated temperatures. These data demonstrate the Company’s ability to accelerate delivery of lead ligase variants to customers and optimize process conditions for a customer’s specific asset. Announcement • Nov 13

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 17% 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: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$18m net loss in 3 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.9% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (17% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Nov 01

Codexis, Inc. Presents Enzymatic Synthesis Data at TIDES USA Annual Meeting and Launches RNA Ligase Screening and Optimization Services Codexis, Inc. announced it has successfully synthesized an oligonucleotide via an enzymatic route to support RNA-based therapeutics manufacturing. Data highlighting this historic manufacturing milestone are being presented on May 14, 2024 in a Spotlight Presentation at the TIDES USA annual meeting taking place in Boston, MA, and virtually May 14 – 17, 2024. Codexis Enzymatically Synthesizes Fully Modified RNA Oligonucleotide: During the presentation, Codexis will showcase data on the enzymatic synthesis of a known siRNA oligonucleotide that incorporates the nucleotide modifications most frequently found in approved therapeutic assets today. This includes the synthesis of siRNA compounds using the Company’s Enzyme Catalyzed Oligonucleotide (ECO) Synthesis manufacturing platform from a starter oligonucleotide to the inclusion of a conjugation moiety. This final step primes the oligonucleotide for the attachment of a customer’s proprietary targeting moiety to enable direct delivery of the therapeutic agent to the desired cells. Key data from the presentation noted that the ECO Synthesis manufacturing platform: Incorporated RNA bases with common modifications used in current siRNA therapeutic assets; Achieved coupling efficiency greater than 98%; Executed the enzymatic addition of a conjugation moiety; and Confirmed lack of notable impurities typically observed in phosphoramidite chemistry synthesis. Now that Codexis has successfully achieved this important technical milestone, the Company is continuing process development to optimize yield, purity and quality with the goal of providing customers with siRNA material of comparable or better quality to phosphoramidite chemistry for preclinical testing. Codexis Launches RNA Ligase Screening and Optimization Services: Codexis also on May 14, 2024 announced the launch of its RNA Ligase Screening and Optimization Services. An overview of this new offering will be highlighted during a TIDES Talk session on Thursday, May 16, 2024. During phosphoramidite chemical synthesis of RNA, each nucleotide added to the growing oligonucleotide amplifies inherent coupling errors, leading to a decrease in the yield of the desired full-length RNA construct. By utilizing a ligation approach, multiple short, single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) fragments can be synthesized, via phosphoramidite chemistry or the ECO Synthesis manufacturing platform, then duplexed and ligated together with an ecoRNA double-stranded ligase to form the desired double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) construct. This method provides the potential for higher purity and yield, which allows for increased scalability and reduced manufacturing costs. As part of Codexis’ Center of Excellence for Enzymatic RNA Synthesis, the Company provides RNA ligase screening and optimization services, which include the custom evolution of dsRNA ligase enzyme variants, screening and protocol optimization for manufacturing and use of the dsRNA ligase, and research-grade RNA production, which can be used for future preclinical studies.

Codexis, Inc., a leading enzyme engineering company enabling the promise of synthetic biology, announced that three of its gene therapy programs are the subject of two poster presentations at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 25th Annual Meeting, taking place from May 16 to May 19, 2022, in Washington, D.C. and virtually. The pre-clinical data highlights enzyme variants engineered with Codexis’ CodeEvolver® platform to offer potentially improved efficacy as compared to current enzymes when administered as transgenes in gene therapies for Hemophilia A, Fabry Disease, and Pompe Disease. Codexis will present a second poster, “Overcoming Therapeutic Deficiencies in Lysosomal Storage Disease Treatments Using Directed Evolution,” detailing the discovery of engineered enzyme transgenes with superior properties and the potential to offer improved efficacy in treating lysosomal storage diseases at lower doses than gene therapies constrained by the limitations of wild-type enzymes. Codexis used the CodeEvolver® platform to identify a-galactosidase A (GLA) and a-glucosidase (GAA) variants to address Fabry Disease and Pompe Disease, respectively. GLA variants demonstrated up to about 20 times increased activity in patient fibroblasts and GLA-/- podocytes, and pre-clinical data showed that the in vitro improvements translated to improved pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and Gb3 substrate reduction in a mouse disease model. The engineered GAA variants for Pompe Disease were observed to retain more than 60% of their activity through 50 hours in plasma at 37oC, while wild-type GAA maintains less than 10% of its activity within 24 hours under the same conditions. Pompe fibroblasts and GAA-/- myoblasts treated with the selected GAA variants also have up to about 40 times higher GAA activity in cell lysates as compared to wild-type GAA.

Codexis Launches Codex® HiTemp Reverse Transcriptase to Address Key Challenges in One-Step Assays for RNA Detection in PCR Testing, including COVID-19 Testing Codexis, Inc. announced the launch of its Codex® HiTemp Reverse Transcriptase for use in one-step quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). RT-qPCR is currently used widely for viral diagnostic tests, including SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification tests. This enzyme is specifically engineered and optimized for enhanced thermostability and robustness to address known challenges in handling clinical samples. A reverse transcriptase is an essential enzyme for the naturally occurring process of reverse transcription, whereby an RNA sequence is converted into complementary DNA (cDNA). The enzyme converts the viral RNA into cDNA, which is then used as the template for the next step in the process, a follow-on quantitative PCR (qPCR). In life science applications, this reverse transcriptase is critical for the detection of RNA viruses. Announcement • Nov 24
Codexis, Inc. Presents Pre-Clinical Data Highlighting Its Programs in Homocystinuria and Maple Syrup Urine Disease At ICIEM 2021 Codexis, Inc. announced that two of the Company’s wholly owned biotherapeutic programs, CDX-6512 for the treatment of homocystinuria (HCU) and enzymes for the treatment of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), were the subject of oral presentations at the 14th International Congress of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (ICIEM) 2021 held in Sydney, Australia from November 21-24, 2021. The enzyme candidates are gastrointestinal (GI)-stable enzymes specifically engineered to be highly resistant to both the acidic conditions of the stomach and to proteases of the upper intestines, to effectively degrade methionine and leucine that is liberated from protein digestion. Elevated levels of these amino acids and their metabolites can lead to the variety of clinical manifestations of HCU and MSUD respectively. Kristen Skvorak, PhD, Translational Scientist and Patient Ambassador at Codexis, presented ‘Discovery of CDX-6512, a gastrointestinal-stable methionine-gamma-lyase as a potential orally-administered enzyme therapy for homocystinuria,’ which demonstrated up to a 45% suppression in serum total homocysteine (p<0.001), at 4 hours post protein challenge in HCU mice treated with a single dose of CDX-6512, compared to vehicle. Similarly, a statistically significant, dose-dependent reduction in plasma methionine was observed following administration of CDX-6512 in healthy non-human primates receiving a peptone meal. Dr. Skvorak also presented ‘Discovery of a gastrointestinal-stable bacterial leucine decarboxylase as a potential orally-administered enzyme therapy for maple syrup urine disease,’ which demonstrated an up to 45% suppression in blood leucine levels, measured as incremental area under the curve (iAUC), in whey-fed iMSUD mice with a single dose of leucine decarboxylase compared to vehicle (p<0.01). A dose-dependent reduction in the plasma leucine iAUC was also observed in healthy non-human primates receiving the engineered enzyme. This pivotal preclinical work has led to Codexis’ elevation of lead candidate, CDX-6210, for MSUD. Reported Earnings • Nov 06
