## About Plastomics, Inc.

Plastomics, Inc. is an agricultural biotechnology company based in St.

Louis, founded in 2017. The company specializes in a novel trait delivery platform that inserts beneficial traits into the chloroplast of plant cells. This innovative approach aims to create higher-yielding crops with improved resistance to insects, diseases, and weeds, addressing global food demands through enhanced agricultural efficiency. Plastomics offers a proprietary chloroplast engineering platform that enables seed companies to develop a wider range of biotech crops, particularly focusing on row crops like corn and soybeans. The technology simplifies product development and reduces breeding costs while ensuring maternal inheritance of traits, which prevents cross-pollination. The company primarily serves seed companies and agricultural biotechnology firms, providing them with effective tools to create the next generation of high-performance crops.
