New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 32% This is considered a major 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Tillkännagivande • Aug 12

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 12% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Tillkännagivande • May 22
Codexis Inc Highlights Stereochemistry Advances for Scalable RNA Manufacturing At Tides USA Codexis, Inc. shared new advances in RNA therapeutic manufacturing at TIDES USA 2026 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. Through presentations and a panel discussion, the Company highlighted how its ECO Synthesis Manufacturing Platform is advancing the production of siRNA, now enabling stereochemical control while addressing key industry challenges in scalability and sustainability. At the conference, Codexis presented new data demonstrating, for the first time, full-length siRNA synthesis with precise control of phosphorothioate stereochemistry using its ECO Synthesis platform. Stereochemistry—the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms within a molecule—plays an important role in how oligonucleotide therapeutics perform, influencing their efficacy and product quality. During Codexis’ expert panel, “Stereochemistry Control in RNAi Manufacturing: Signal or Noise?”, drug development leaders from Corsera Health, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, and Wave Life Sciences emphasized that stereochemical control is an important—and increasingly necessary—factor in advancing next-generation RNA therapeutics in order to optimize potency, and potentially enable novel dosage forms using higher concentrations of active pharmaceutical ingredient. Codexis also announced a new advancement for its ECO Synthesis platform: the ability to initiate enzymatic RNA synthesis starting from a single nucleotide. This will eliminate the need for a chemically-synthesized starter oligonucleotide, commonly used to initiate enzymatic nucleotide additions. This advancement is particularly important for the increasingly popular practice of ligating fragments into a complete siRNA molecule. The ability to make fully enzymatic fragments, together with highly engineered, highly efficient ligases such as those developed by Codexis, present a future state optimal production strategy for siRNA. Codexis shared sustainability data, showing the ECO Synthesis platform achieved more than a 50% reduction in global warming potential compared to conventional synthetic approaches. The company reported approximately 2.7-fold lower global warming potential on an input materials basis, driven in part by reduced organic solvent use and aqueous processing. Ligation and stereochemical control are becoming increasingly important as the RNA therapeutics field matures. The aqueous production of the ECO Synthesis Manufacturing Platform together with the potential to eliminate purification steps when using ligation strategies result in both superior process and environmental efficiency. Codexis continues to advance its ECO Synthesis platform as part of its broader strategy to discover and industrialize scalable manufacturing solutions for complex RNA therapeutics.

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. Tillkännagivande • 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).

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.

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 17% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$19m net loss in 3 years). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (6.3% increase in shares outstanding). Tillkännagivande • Feb 02
