On July 21, 2025, the Board of Directors of Cibus, Inc. (the "Company" or "Cibus") approved a reduction in workforce of approximately 34 full-time employees as a pivotal step in implementing the Company's previously announced streamlined business focus, prioritizing its nearest-term and currently funded commercial opportunities. The Company expects that the reduction in workforce will be completed by December 31, 2025, and estimates that it will incur approximately $0.5 million of one-time charges for accrued vacation and severance payments in the third quarter of 2025 in connection with this reduction in workforce. The Company communicated the workforce reduction to affected employees on July 23, 2025.

#### Forward-Looking Statements
This 8-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included herein, including statements regarding Cibus' cost-savings initiatives, anticipated cash burn reductions and the timing thereof, and anticipated costs associated with the reduction in workforce. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "expect," "plan," "scheduled," "could," "would" and "will," or the negative of these and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and assumptions of Cibus' management about future events, which are based on currently available information. Cibus' actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements could be materially different than those expressed, implied, or anticipated by forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond the control of Cibus. The industry in which Cibus operates is emerging and subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the "Risk Factors" section of Cibus' Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 20, 2025 and other subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K as may be filed with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K represent Cibus' views as of the date hereof. Cibus specifically disclaims any obligation to update such forward-looking statements in the future, except as required under applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Cibus' views as of any date subsequent to the date hereof.
