 related to disclosures made by the Company about MBP program from May 10, 2017 to March 1, 2019. The plaintiff seeks damages, forfeiture of benefits received by defendants, and an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The case was stayed by an order entered on June 14, 2021. On September 24, 2021, an individual shareholder filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Henrico County styled Kent v. Precigen, Inc., Case CL21-6349. The Kent action, also related to disclosures regarding MBP program, demands inspection of certain books and records of the Company pursuant to Virginia statutory and common law. On April 1, 2022, the court denied the demurrer and referred the matter to a hearing on the merits. In October  2025, the Kent action was dismissed by the court due to a lack of activity for the preceding three years.  The Company intends

In August 2022, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trans Ova, to Spring Bidco LLC (the “Buyer”), a Delaware limited liability company for $170,000 and up to $10,000 in cash earn-out payments contingent upon the performance of Trans Ova in each of 2022 and 2023, consisting of $5,000 for each year (the “Transaction”). In February 2023, the Buyer notified the Company that Trans Ova did not meet the financial measures required in 2022 in order to require the first $5,000 earn-out payment. In April 2024, the Buyer notified the Company that Trans Ova did not meet the financial measures required in 2023 in order to require the second $5,000 earn-out payment. After an arbitration process regarding this conclusion, it was determined that no payment was due to the Company related to the second $5,000 earn-out payment. In connection with the sale of Trans Ova, the Company is required to indemnify the Buyer for certain expenses incurred post close (related to covenants and certain additional specified liabilities including certain patent infringement lawsuits), if incurred, in amounts not to exceed $5,750. Such indemnification was recorded as a reduction of the gain on divestiture in 2022. As of September 30,
