CULT and NewLab are creating a new ecosystem of businesses in the cellular agriculture space to address key gaps within the broader industry, where there is a clear need and validated technology that can be brought forward commercially. Regarding its collaboration with New Harvest, CULT will continue to enhance the available knowledge and practices for the industry in an open manner, especially in cases where gaps in research knowledge exist that can accelerate the industry.

CULT continues to help advance many of the projects and ventures into which it has deployed capital, which may result in more announcements regarding new IP development or product commercialization. As the Company looks toward its longer-term strategy, management will continue to work towards becoming a key aggregator for the cellular agriculture industry as it matures. Through this aggregation-based strategy, CULT will strive to set itself apart as a leader in cell-based technology, sustainability, and innovation for food resilience.

Regarding the future of the Company's investment portfolio, management will continue to assess market opportunities with a focus on sustainability, long-term impact and commercial applicability. By identifying themes within the cellular agriculture industry and in the broader market, CULT will continue to see both clear problem statements and possible solutions that can be brought forward through new IP developments and investments in new companies to help fill identified gaps.
