(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
- Organization and Basis of Presentation
Precigen, Inc. ("Precigen"), a Virginia corporation, is a dedicated discovery and clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing the next generation of gene and cell therapies with the overall goal of improving outcomes for patients with significant unmet medical needs. Precigen is leveraging its proprietary technology platforms to develop product candidates designed to target urgent and intractable diseases in its core therapeutic areas of immuno-oncology, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. Precigen has developed an extensive pipeline of therapies across multiple indications within these core focus areas. Precigen’s primary operations are located in the State of Maryland.
Precigen also hastwo wholly owned operating subsidiaries. Precigen ActoBio, Inc. ("ActoBio"), and Exemplar Genetics, LLC, doing business as Precigen Exemplar ("Exemplar").
ActoBio is pioneering a proprietary class of microbe-based biopharmaceuticals that enable expression and local delivery of disease-modifying therapeutics, with its primary operations located in Ghent, Belgium.
Exemplar is committed to enabling the study of life-threatening human diseases through the development of MiniSwine Yucatan miniature pig research models and services, as well as enabling the production of cells and organs in its genetically engineered swine for regenerative medicine applications. Exemplar’s primary operations are located in the State of Iowa.
Precigen and its consolidated subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company."
Discontinued Operations
On August 18, 2022, Precigen completed the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trans Ova Genetics, L.C. (“Trans Ova”), a provider of reproductive technologies, including services and products sold to cattle breeders and other producers. Trans Ova has been presented as discontinued operations for all periods through its sale in August of 2022. See Note 3 for further discussion. Trans Ova was formerly a separate reportable segment.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, the Company suspended its proprietary methane bioconversion platform operations and began the process to wind down MBP Titan's activities and had substantially completed the wind down by December 31, 2020, with the final disposition of certain property and equipment and the facility operating lease occurring in January 2021. MBP Titan has been presented as discontinued operations for all periods through the finalization of its sale in January 2021. See Note 3 for further discussion.
Liquidity and Going Concern
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we incurred a loss from continuing operations of $95.9 million and used $66.9 million of cash in our operations, and as of December 31, 2023, had an accumulated deficit of $1,964.5 million. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception and management expects operating losses and negative cash flows from operations to continue for the foreseeable future and, as a result, the Company will require additional capital to fund its operations and execute its business plan. In addition, as of December 31, 2023, the Company had $62.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and had no committed source of additional funding from either debt or equity financings. The Company’s current cash and investments position is not sufficient to fund the Company's planned operations through one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued and accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The analysis used to determine the Company's ability to continue as a going concern does not include cash sources outside of the Company's direct control that management expects to be available within the next twelve months.
The Company’s ability to fund its operations on an ongoing basis is dependent upon the successful execution of management’s plans, which include raising additional capital in the near term. This additional capital could be raised through a combination of non-dilutive financings (including debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, monetization of non-core assets, marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements), dilutive financings (including equity and/or debt financings which may include an equity component) and, in the longer term, from revenue related to product sales, to the extent its product candidates receive marketing approval and can be commercialized. There can be no assurance that new financings or other transactions will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. Also, any collaborations, strategic alliances, monetization of non-core assets or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangement may require the Company to give up some or all of its rights to a product or technology, which in some cases may be at less than the full potential value of such rights. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, the Company will assess its capital resources and may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate some or all of its operations, which may include research and development and clinical trials. This may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company can no longer continue as a going concern.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of Precigen and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies conducting high-risk, early-stage research and development of therapeutic product candidates. Principal among these risks are dependence on key individuals and intellectual property, competition from products and companies, and the technical risks associated with the successful research, development and clinical manufacturing of its therapeutic product candidates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of the promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers("ASC 606"), the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the promises and distinct performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligations.
Collaboration and licensing revenues
The Company has historically generated collaboration and licensing revenues through agreements with collaborators (known as exclusive channel collaborations or "ECCs") and licensing agreements whereby the collaborators or the licensee obtained exclusive access to the Company's proprietary technologies for use in the research, development and commercialization of products and/or treatments in a contractually specified field of use. Generally, the terms of these agreements provided that the Company received some or all of the following: (i) upfront payments upon consummation of the agreement; (ii) reimbursements for costs incurred by the Company for research and development and/or manufacturing efforts related to specific applications provided for in the agreement; (iii) milestone payments upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory, and commercial activities; and (iv) royalties on sales of products arising from the collaboration or licensing agreement. The agreement typically continued in perpetuity unless terminated and each of the Company's collaborators retain a right to terminate the agreement upon providing the Company written notice a certain period of time prior to such termination, generally 90 days.
The Company's collaboration and licensing agreements typically contain multiple promises, including technology licenses, research and development services and, in certain cases, manufacturing services. The Company determined whether each of the promises is a distinct performance obligation. As the nature of the promises in the Company's collaboration and licensing agreements were highly integrated and interrelated, the Company typically combined most of its promises into a single performance obligation. Because the Company was performing research and development services during early-stage development, the services were integral to the utilization of the technology license. Therefore, the Company determined that the technology license and research and development services were typically inseparable from each other during the performance period of its collaboration and licensing agreements. Options to acquire additional services were considered to determine if they constituted material rights. Contingent manufacturing services that may be provided under certain of the Company's agreements were considered to be a separate future contract and not part of the collaboration or licensing agreement.
At contract inception, the Company determined the transaction price, including fixed consideration and any estimated amounts of variable consideration. The transaction price was allocated to the performance obligations in the agreement based on the standalone selling price of each performance obligation. The Company utilized judgment to determine the most appropriate method to measure its progress of performance under the agreement, primarily based on inputs necessary to fulfill the performance obligation.
From time to time, the Company and certain collaborators may cancel their agreements, relieving the Company of any further performance obligations under the agreement. Upon such cancellation or when the Company has determined no further performance obligations are required of the Company under an agreement, the Company recognizes any remaining deferred revenue as revenue.
Product and service revenues
The Company's product and service revenues are generated through Exemplar which generates product and service revenues through the development and sale of genetically engineered miniature swine models. The Company evaluates each promised product or service under its contracts and identifies performance obligations for each distinct product or service. The Company then allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation, recognizing the transaction price as revenue at a point in time when control of the promised product or over time when the promised service is rendered. The Company typically recognizes revenue using an output-based measure, generally time elapsed or days of service, to measure progress and transfer of the control of the performance obligation to the customer. Payment terms are typically due within 30 days of invoicing, which occurs prior to or when revenue is recognized.
Research and Development
The Company considers that regulatory requirements inherent in the research and development of new products preclude it from capitalizing such costs. Research and development expenses include salaries and related costs of research and development personnel, including stock-based compensation expense, costs to acquire or reacquire technology rights, contract research organizations and consultants, facilities, materials and supplies associated with research and development projects as well as various laboratory studies. Costs incurred in conjunction with collaboration and licensing arrangements are included in research and development. Indirect research and development costs include depreciation, amortization, and other indirect overhead expenses.
The Company has research and development arrangements with third parties that include upfront and milestone payments. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had research and development commitments with third parties that had not yet been incurred totaling $17,800 and $19,909, respectively. The commitments are generally cancellable by the Company by providing written notice at least sixty days before the desire termination date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity ofthree months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash balances at a limited number of banks may periodically exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes that it mitigates its risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. Recoverability of investments is dependent upon the performance of the issuer.
Restricted Cash
Included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, is restricted cash of $43,339. This cash was restricted for the permitted purposes related to our Convertible Notes, including the resolution of such notes. See Note 10 for further discussion.
Short-term and Long-Term Investments
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 short-term and long-term investments include corporate bonds, United States government debt securities and certificates of deposit. The Company determines the appropriate classification as short-term or long-term at the time of purchase based on original maturities and management's reasonable expectation of sales and redemption. The Company reevaluates such classification at each balance sheet date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset and liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in its fair value measurements. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; |
|---|---|
| Level 2: | Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. |
Concentrations of Risk
Due to the Company's fixed rate securities holdings, the Company's investment portfolio is susceptible to changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2023, gross unrealized losses on the Company's short-term investments were not material. From time to time, the Company may liquidate some or all of its investments to fund operational needs or other activities, such as capital expenditures or business acquisitions. Although the Company has no intent to liquidate such investments, depending on which investments the Company liquidates to fund these activities, the Company could recognize a portion, or all, of the gross unrealized losses.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade and other receivables. The Company manages credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.
Equity Method Investments
The Company has accounted for its investment in its joint ventures ("JVs") using the equity method of accounting based upon relative ownership interest. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company does not hold any material investments in JVs.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company identifies entities that (i) do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) in which the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest as variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The Company performs an initial and on-going evaluation of the entities with which the Company has variable interests to determine if any of these entities are VIEs. If an entity is identified as a VIE, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether the Company has both (i) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (ii) have the obligation to absorb losses from or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If both of these criteria are satisfied, the Company is identified as the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company determined that certain of its collaborators and JVs were VIEs. The Company was not the primary beneficiary for these entities since it did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no risk of loss related to the identified VIEs.
Accounts Receivable
The Company's expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of accounts receivables. Balances are written off at the point when collection attempts have been exhausted.
Estimates are used to determine the loss allowance, which is based on assessment of anticipated payment and other historical, current, and future information that is reasonably available.
The following table shows the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021:
| 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginning balance | $184 | $1,693 | $1,509 |
| Charged to operating expenses | — | — | 140 |
| Write offs of accounts receivable, net of recoveries | — | (1,509) | 44 |
| Ending balance | $184 | $184 | $1,693 |
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major additions or betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of these assets from continuing operations are as follows:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Land improvements | 9–15 |
| Buildings and building improvements | 9–15 |
| Furniture and fixtures | 2–7 |
| Equipment | 3–7 |
| Breeding stock | 2 |
| Computer hardware and software | 1–5 |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the applicable lease term, generallyone toeleven years.
Operating Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included as right-of-use assets ("ROU Assets") and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU Assets or lease liabilities for leases with lease terms of one year or less.
Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The initial measurement of the ROU Asset also includes any lease payments made, adjusted for lease incentives. For leases that contain fixed non-lease payments, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Variable lease payments, which primarily include payments for non-lease components such as maintenance costs, are excluded from the ROU Assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As the Company's operating leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date, which is the estimated rate the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease, in determining the present value of future payments. The lease term for all of the Company's leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, either to extend or to not terminate the lease. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually. The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the goodwill impairment test. If this is the case, the quantitative goodwill impairment test is required. If it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than the carrying amount, the quantitative goodwill impairment test is not required.
When a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity must record the impairment charge for the excess carrying amount, which is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no goodwill impairment charge is necessary.
The Company performs its annual impairment review of goodwill on December 31 and performs incremental impairment reviews if a triggering event occurs prior to the annual impairment review.
When the Company performs quantitative evaluations, the fair value of the reporting units are primarily determined based on the income approach. The income approach is a valuation technique in which fair value is based on forecasted future cash flows, discounted at the appropriate rate of return commensurate with the risk as well as current rates of return for equity and debt capital as of the valuation date. The forecast used in the Company's estimation of fair value was developed by management based on historical operating results, incorporating adjustments to reflect management's planned changes in operations and market considerations. The discount rate utilizes a risk adjusted weighted average cost of capital.
See Note 9 for additional discussion regarding goodwill impairment charges recorded in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of patents, developed technologies and know-how; customer relationships; and trademarks acquired as a result of mergers and acquisitions. These intangible assets are subject to amortization, were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition, and are stated net of accumulated amortization.
The Company amortizes long-lived intangible assets to reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are expected to be realized. The intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three toeighteen years for the patents, developed technologies, and know-how; customer relationships; and trademarks.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets to be held and used, including property, plant and equipment, ROU Assets, and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable.
See Notes 3 and 8 for additional discussion of impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated from their respective functional currencies into United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with resulting foreign currency translation adjustments recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). Revenue and expense amounts are translated at average rates during the period.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to both differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company identifies any uncertain income tax positions and recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense. Penalties, if any, are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company accounts for the minimum tax on global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") as a period charge in the period in which the tax arises. There was no impact from GILTI to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Share-Based Payments
Precigen uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant-date fair value of all stock options. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of assumptions for estimated expected volatility, estimated expected term of stock options, risk-free rate, estimated expected dividend yield, and the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. Through 2019, since Precigen did not have sufficient history to estimate the expected volatility of its common stock price, expected volatility was based on a blended approach that utilized the volatility of Precigen's common stock and the volatility of peer public entities that were similar in size and industry. Beginning in 2020, for stock options with an expected term where there is sufficient history available, expected volatility is based on the volatility of Precigen's common stock. For any stock options where sufficient history is not available for the expected term, expected volatility is based on the blended approach discussed above. Precigen estimates the expected term of options based on previous history of exercises unless certain terms of the stock option require a different expected term that more appropriately reflects the estimated life of the stock option. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is 0% as Precigen does not expect to declare cash dividends in the near future. The fair value of the underlying common stock is determined based on the quoted market price on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq"). Forfeitures are recorded when incurred. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 are set forth in the table below:
| 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valuation assumptions | |||
| Expected dividend yield | 0% | 0% | 0% |
| Expected volatility | 85%–95% | 87%–89% | 87%–90% |
| Expected term (years) | 6.00-10.00 | 6.25 | 6.00 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.52%–4.80% | 1.64%–4.12% | 0.61%–1.33% |
Grant date fair value for the Company's restricted stock units ("RSUs") is based on the fair value of the underlying common stock as determined based on the quoted market price on the Nasdaq on the date of grant.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of the diluted net income (loss) per share calculation, shares to be issued pursuant to convertible debt, stock options, RSUs, and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive as described in the next paragraph, therefore, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share were the same for all periods presented. See Note 12 for further discussion of the Company's Share Lending Agreement, which was terminated in October 2023.
In accordance with ASC 260, the control number for determining whether including potential common shares in the diluted earnings per share, or EPS, computation would be antidilutive should be income from continuing operations. As a result, if there is a loss from continuing operations, diluted EPS would be computed in the same manner as basic EPS is computed, even if the entity has net income after adjusting for a discontinued operation. The following potentially dilutive securities as of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the years then ended as they would have been anti-dilutive:
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | |
| Options | 22,057,340 | 15,201,276 | 12,260,187 |
| Restricted stock units | 961,534 | 697,815 | 468,481 |
| Warrants | — | — | 121,888 |
| Total | 23,018,874 | 15,899,091 | 12,850,556 |
In addition, the Company's Convertible Notes, prior to their retirement in the second quarter of 2023, were convertible into common stock at an exercise price of approximately $17.05 per share of common stock, representing approximately 2,542,420 shares at December 31, 2022 and 11,732,440 shares at December 31, 2021. The shares underlying the Convertibles Notes were considered for the dilutive calculation but were excluded in all years presented as their effect is antidilutive. See Note 10 for further discussion of the Convertible Notes.
Segment Information
The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") regularly reviews disaggregated financial information for various operating segments. The financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM consists of (i) Biopharmaceuticals and (ii) Exemplar, each an operating segment which were also determined to be reportable segments. The Biopharmaceuticals reportable segment is primarily comprised of the Company's legal entities of Precigen and ActoBio. See Note 1 for a description of Precigen, ActoBio and Exemplar. Prior to January 1, 2023, corporate expenses were not allocated to the segments and were managed at a consolidated level. Corporate expenses, include costs associated with general and administrative functions, including the Company's finance, accounting, legal, human resources, information technology, corporate communication, and investor relations functions. Corporate expenses exclude interest expense, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposals of assets, stock-based compensation expense, loss on settlement agreement, and equity in net loss of affiliates and include unrealized and realized gains and losses on the Company's securities portfolio as well as dividend income. Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, the Company allocated certain corporate expenses to Precigen as its operations directly benefited from these expenditures, and are now included in the Biopharmaceuticals reportable segment. As presented in Note 16, the prior year period has been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06"). Under ASU 2020-06, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The new guidance also requires the if-converted method to be applied for all convertible instruments.
We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective transition method, which resulted in an increase to our reported long-term debt outstanding, net of current portion, of $18,196, a decrease to our additional paid-in capital of $36,868, and a corresponding cumulative-effect reduction to our opening accumulated deficit of $18,672. Upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06, non-cash interest expense related to existing convertible debt outstanding at January 1, 2022 was expected to be reduced by approximately $11,800 for the year ended December 31, 2022, and did not have an impact on our consolidated cash flows. The use of the if-converted method did not have an impact on our overall earnings per share calculation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 clarifies existing guidance to reduce diversity in practice and is requiring a joint venture to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities using a new basis of accounting, at fair value, upon formation. These amendments are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-05 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. According to ASU 2023-07, public entities are required to disclose its significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. A significant segment expense is an expense that is significant to the segment, regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. This updated standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
There are no other new accounting standards which have not yet been adopted that are expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

As part of the Company's strategic shift to becoming a primarily healthcare company, as discussed in Note 1, on August 18, 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, 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, $5,000 for each year (the “Transaction”). The Company received $162,306 in proceeds, net of certain transaction costs, on August 18, 2022, after giving effect to the preliminary closing purchase price adjustments. The final working capital adjustment of $936 was received in the fourth quarter of 2022. In February 2023, Spring Bidco LLC 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.
The Company elected to account for the contingent consideration arrangement as a gain contingency in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies (Subtopic 450-30). Under this approach, the Company recognizes the contingent consideration receivable in earnings after the contingency is resolved. Accordingly, to determine the initial gain on the sale of Trans Ova, the Company did not include an amount related to the contingent consideration arrangement as part of the consideration received.
In connection with the Transaction, the Company held restricted cash in a segregated account to be used for certain permitted purposes, including resolution of the then outstanding Company’s Convertible Notes as discussed further in Note 10. In addition, 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, which was recorded as a reduction of the gain on divestiture in the third quarter of 2022. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $5,075 and $5,750 were included in settlement and indemnification accrual on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively, related to this indemnification liability. During 2023, the Company paid $675 for indemnification claims against this liability.

MBP Titan
As a result of market uncertainty driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the state of the energy sector raising significant challenges for the strategic alternatives pursued by MBP Titan, beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and throughout the remainder of 2020, the Company suspended MBP Titan's operations, preserved certain of MBP Titan's intellectual property, terminated all of its personnel, and undertook steps to dispose of its other assets and obligations. The wind down of MBP Titan's activities was substantially completed by December 31, 2020, with the final disposition of certain property and equipment and the facility operating lease occurring in January 2021. This discontinuation of operations represented the continuation of a strategic shift to becoming primarily a healthcare company advancing technologies and products that address complex healthcare challenges. The income and expenses related to the discontinued operations of MBP Titan are classified and presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated 2021 financial statements.
The January 2021 sale of property and equipment resulted in a gain on disposal of assets of $464, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. In January 2021, the Company executed termination and recapture agreements with the landlord of the leased facility used in MBP Titan's operations, thereby relieving the Company of all of its obligations related to the facility that were originally due to expire in July 2025. This lease termination resulted in a gain of $4,602, which is also included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.
After the wind down of MBP Titan, certain assets and contractual obligations which were previously managed by MBP Titan continue to be managed at the Precigen corporate level. These remaining assets and contractual obligations included the Company's equity interest in and collaboration agreements with Intrexon Energy Partners, LLC ("Intrexon Energy Partners") and Intrexon Energy Partners II, LLC ("Intrexon Energy Partners II"), including the associated deferred revenue which remained under each collaboration agreement (Notes 4 and 5), as well as the associated intellectual property developed by MBP Titan to date. These assets, liabilities, and related historical revenue and equity losses are included in the Company's operating results from continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented as a result of the Company's continuing involvement.
The following table presents the financial results of discontinued operations related to MBP Titan:

- Investments in Joint Ventures
Intrexon Energy Partners
In 2014, the Company and certain investors (the "IEP Investors"), including an affiliate of Third Security, entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement that governs the affairs and conduct of business of Intrexon Energy Partners, a JV formed to optimize and scale-up the Company's MBP technology for the production of certain fuels and lubricants. The Company also entered into an ECC with Intrexon Energy Partners providing exclusive rights to the Company's technology for the use in bioconversion for the production of certain fuels and lubricants, as a result of which the Company received a technology access fee of $25,000 while retaining a 50% membership interest in Intrexon Energy Partners at that time. Intrexon Energy Partners was governed by the Intrexon Energy Partners' board of managers, which hadfive members. Prior to Precigen’s purchase of certain membership interests from the IEP Investors in the third quarter of 2022 as discussed below, two members of the Intrexon Energy Partners Board were designated by the Company andthree members were designated by a majority of the IEP Investors. Upon accumulating 87.5% of the membership interests owned by the IEP Investors in the third quarter of 2022, the Company obtained the right to designate all members of the Intrexon Energy Partners Board.
See Note 5 for additional discussion regarding the Company's investment in Intrexon Energy Partners.
Intrexon Energy Partners II
In 2015, the Company and certain investors (the "IEPII Investors"), entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement that governs the affairs and conduct of business of Intrexon Energy Partners II, a JV formed to utilize the Company's MBP technology for the production of 1,4-butanediol, an industrial chemical used to manufacture spandex, polyurethane, plastics, and polyester. The Company also entered into an ECC with Intrexon Energy Partners II that provided exclusive rights to the Company's technology for use in the field, as a result of which the Company received a technology access fee of $18,000 while retaining a 50% membership interest in Intrexon Energy Partners II. Intrexon Energy Partners II was governed by the Intrexon Energy Partners II's board of managers, which hadfive members. Prior to Precigen’s purchase of the membership interests from the IEPII Investors in the third quarter of 2022, one member of the Intrexon Energy Partners II Board was designated by the Company andfour members were designated by a majority of the IEPII Investors. Upon acquisition of 97.1% of the membership interests owned by the IEPII Investors in the third quarter of 2022 (the Company purchased the remaining 2.9% membership units in the fourth quarter of 2022), the Company obtained the right to designate all members of the Intrexon Energy Partners II Board.
See Note 5 for additional discussion regarding the Company's investment in Intrexon Energy Partners II.
Acquisition of Membership Interests in Intrexon Energy Partners and Intrexon Energy Partners II
On December 29, 2021, the Company received a letter from a group of investors in each of Intrexon Energy Partners and Intrexon Energy Partners II, referring certain issues to arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreements of Intrexon Energy Partners and Intrexon Energy Partners II (the “Arbitration Matters”). In July 2022, the arbitration panel ruled on the Arbitration Matters, and adopted the Company’s proposed terms with respect to each of the Arbitration Matters and, pursuant to that ruling, the Company acquired the membership interests of the investors for an aggregate amount of approximately $7,000 in cash.
The Company recorded the $7,000 payment as a reduction of the revenue in 2022 (from deferred revenue – see Note 5) upon the Company obtaining control of Intrexon Energy Partners and Intrexon Energy Partners II. The fair value of the net assets of Intrexon Energy Partners and Intrexon Energy Partners II at the acquisition date is deemed to be substantially $0. The Company liquidated and dissolved Intrexon Energy Partners and Intrexon Energy Partners II during the fourth quarter of 2022, which did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
- Collaboration and Licensing Revenue
The Company's collaborations and licensing agreements may provide for multiple promises to be satisfied by the Company and typically include a license to the Company's technology platforms, participation in collaboration committees, and performance of certain research and development services. Based on the nature of the promises in the Company's collaboration and licensing agreements, the Company typically combines most of its promises into a single performance obligation because the promises are highly interrelated and not individually distinct. Options to acquire additional services are considered to determine if they constitute material rights. At contract inception, the transaction price is typically the upfront payment received and is allocated to the performance obligations. The Company has determined the transaction price should be recognized as revenue based on its measure of progress under the agreement primarily based on inputs necessary to fulfill the performance obligation.
The Company determines whether collaborations and licensing agreements are individually significant for disclosure based on a number of factors, including total revenue recorded by the Company pursuant to collaboration and licensing agreements, collaborators or licensees with equity method investments, or other qualitative factors. Collaboration and licensing revenues generated from consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation.
The following table summarizes the amounts recorded as revenue in the consolidated statements of operations for each significant counterparty to a collaboration or licensing agreement for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | |
| Intrexon Energy Partners, LLC | — | 3,768 | — |
| Intrexon Energy Partners II, LLC | — | 10,793 | — |
| Other | 75 | 100 | 506 |
| Total (1) | $75 | $14,661 | $506 |
(1)Collaboration and licensing revenues recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, include the recognition of $0, $14,561, and $397, respectively, associated with upfront and milestone payments which were previously deferred.
The following is a summary of the terms of the Company's significant collaborations and licensing agreements from continuing operations.
Intrexon Energy Partners and Intrexon Energy Partners II Collaborations
As discussed in Note 4 in July 2022, the Company obtained control of both of Intrexon Energy Partners' board of managers and Intrexon Energy Partners II's board of managers. Based on its assessment of the status of each collaboration and ultimate dissolution of Intrexon Energy Partners and Intrexon Energy Partners II, the Company determined that it was probable that no further performance obligations would occur under the respective collaboration agreements. Accordingly, the Company recognized the remaining balance of deferred revenue associated with Intrexon Energy Partners and Intrexon Energy Partners II, less the amounts paid to acquirethe membership interests of the investors of$7,000, for an aggregate amount of revenue recognized of approximately $14,561.
Alaunos License Agreement
On April 3, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated exclusive license agreement (the “License Agreement”), with Alaunos Therapeutics (“Alaunos”). The License Agreement amended and replaced an Exclusive License Agreement by and between the Company and Alaunos, dated October 5, 2018.
Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, the Company granted Alaunos an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable license to certain patents and know-how to research, develop and commercialize T-cell receptor products, which are referred to as TCR Products,designed for neoantigens for the treatment of cancer or the treatment and prevention of human papilloma virus, or HPV, to the extent that the primary reason for such treatment or prevention is to prevent cancer, which is referred to as the HPV Field. The Company has also granted Alaunos an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable license to certain patents relating to the Sleeping Beauty technology to research, develop and commercialize TCR Products (other than those designed for neoantigens) for the treatment of cancer and in the HPV Field. The Company also granted Alaunos certain non-exclusive rights to certain patents and know-how to research, develop and commercialize products developed under or arising from a program of research and development focused on NK cells and gamma delta T-cells in the HPV field. Alaunos has the exclusive right to conduct in its sole discretion, and is solely responsible for all aspects of, the research, development and commercialization of the licensed products for the treatment of cancer and is not subject to a diligence obligation with respect to such efforts.
The License Agreement will terminate on a product-by-product and/or country-by-country basis upon the expiration of the last to expire patent claim for each licensed product. In addition, Alaunos may terminate the License Agreement on a country-by-country or program-by-program basis following written notice to the Company, and either party may terminate the License Agreement following notice of a material breach subject to a certain cure period.
In consideration of the licenses and other rights granted by the Company, Alaunos will pay the Company an annual license fee of $0.075 million. Neither Alaunos nor the Company will have any other obligations with respect to the payment of milestones or royalties on products developed in connection with the License Agreement.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily consists of consideration received for the Company's collaboration and licensing agreements. The arrangements classified as long-term are not active while the respective counterparties evaluate the status of the project and its desired future development activities since the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of service to be performed over the next year. Deferred revenue consisted of the following:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | |
| Collaboration and licensing agreements | $1,818 | $1,818 |
| Prepaid product and service revenues | 15 | 15 |
| Other | 494 | 10 |
| Total | $2,327 | $1,843 |
| Current portion of deferred revenue | $509 | $25 |
| Long-term portion of deferred revenue | 1,818 | 1,818 |
| Total | $2,327 | $1,843 |
- Short-term and Long-term Investments
The Company's investments are classified as available-for-sale. The following table summarizes the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of available-for-sale investments as of December 31, 2023:
| AmortizedCost | GrossUnrealizedGains | GrossUnrealizedLosses | AggregateFair Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States government debt securities | $51,704 | $102 | $(135) | $51,671 |

The following table summarizes the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of available-for-sale investments as of December 31, 2022:
| AmortizedCost | GrossUnrealizedGains | GrossUnrealizedLosses | AggregateFair Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States government debt securities | $51,755 | $— | $(760) | $50,995 |
| Certificates of deposit | 97 | — | — | 97 |
| Total | $51,852 | $— | $(760) | $51,092 |
See Notes 2 and 7 for further discussion on the Company's method for determining the fair value of its assets.
The estimated fair value of available-for-sale investments was $55,277 at December 31, 2023, and these available-for-sale investments all contractually mature within one year.
Changes in market interest rates and bond yields cause certain investments to fall below their cost basis, resulting in unrealized losses on investments.
- Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Assets
The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023:
| Quoted Prices in Active Markets(Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs(Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs(Level 3) | December 31,2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | ||||
| United States government debt securities | $— | $51,671 | $— | $51,671 |

| Corporate Bonds | — | 245 | — | 245 |
| Total | $— | $55,277 | $— | $55,277 |
The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022:
| Quoted Prices in Active Markets(Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs(Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs(Level 3) | December 31,2022 | |

| Certificates of deposit | — | 97 | — | 97 |
| Total | $— | $51,092 | $— | $51,092 |
The method used to estimate the fair value of the Level 2 short-term and long-term debt investments in the tables above is based on professional pricing sources for identical or comparable instruments, rather than direct observations of quoted prices in active markets.
Liabilities
The calculated fair value of the Convertible Notes (Note 10) was approximately $43,000 as of December 31, 2022, and was based on the recent third-party trades of the instrument as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of the Convertible Notes were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as there was not an active market for the Convertible Notes, however, third-party trades of the instrument are considered observable inputs. The Convertible Notes are reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, which was $43,219 as of December 31, 2022.
See Notes 8 and 9 for discussion of non-recurring fair value estimates used in calculating impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
- Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

Recorded impairment losses of $445, $638 and $543 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, are included inimpairment of other noncurrent assets on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
- Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, are as follows:
| 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Beginning of year | $36,923 | $37,554 |

| End of year | $26,612 | $36,923 |
The Company had $24,873 and $14,483 of cumulative goodwill impairment losses as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $10,390 impairment charge related to the Exemplar reporting unit. As the Company completed its calendar year 2024 forecast in the fourth quarter of 2023, it revised its outlook for the Exemplar business, resulting in lower financial projections compared to the prior year strategic planning cycle. The revised projections were used as a key input into Exemplar's reporting unit’s annual goodwill impairment test performed as of December 31, 2023. The impairment charge represented the estimated excess of carrying value over fair value of this reporting unit.
The Company determined the fair value of the Exemplar reporting unit using the income approach in which fair value derived from forecasted future cash flows, discounted at the appropriate rate of return commensurate with the risk as well as current rates of return for equity and debt capital as of the valuation date. The projections incorporated the effect of current market conditions, including revenue growth, customer attrition, operating margins, capital expenditures, and working capital dynamics. The market-based weighted average cost of capital used in the income approach for the Exemplar reporting unit was 12.5% and the terminal growth rate used in the discounted cash flow model was 3%.
See Note 16 for information regarding goodwill by reportable segment.

| Valuation allowance at end of year | $424,432 | $401,086 | $408,396 |
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to the Company and its subsidiaries' histories of net losses incurred from inception, any corresponding net domestic and certain foreign deferred tax assets have been fully reserved as the Company and its subsidiaries cannot sufficiently be assured that these deferred tax assets will be realized. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of the date of the mergers and acquisitions by the Company prior to consideration of the valuation allowance are substantially similar to the components of deferred tax assets presented herein.
The Company's past issuances of stock and mergers and acquisitions have resulted in ownership changes as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 382"). As a result, utilization of portions of the net operating losses may be subject to annual limitations, however as of December 31, 2023, all such limited losses applicable to Precigen, other than losses inherited via acquisition, have been fully utilized. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $39,700 of the Company's domestic net operating losses were inherited via acquisition and are limited based on the value of the target at the time of the transaction.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for United States federal income tax purposes of approximately $891,600 available to offset future taxable income, including approximately $675,000 generated after 2017, United States capital loss carryforwards of approximately $212,500, and federal and state research and development tax credits of approximately $13,500, prior to consideration of annual limitations that may be imposed under Section 382. Net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to 2018 begin to expire in 2023, and capital loss carryforwards will expire if unutilized beginning in 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's foreign subsidiaries have foreign loss carryforwards of approximately $73,800, most of which do not expire.
The Company and its subsidiaries do not have material unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023. The Company does not anticipate significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. The Company's tax returns for years 2004 and forward are subject to examination by federal or state tax authorities due to the carryforward of unutilized net operating and capital losses and research and development tax credits.
- Shareholders' Equity
Issuances of Precigen Common Stock
In January 2023, the Company closed a public offering of 43,962,640 shares of its common stock, resulting in net proceeds of $72,808, after deducting underwriting discounts, fees, and other underwriting expenses. Of the 43,962,640 shares issued,11,517,712 shares were purchased by related parties and their affiliates, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer, its Chairman of the Board of Directors and his affiliates, and certain other of the Company's officers.
The Company completed the offering of shares of common stock, utilizing a number of underwriters, with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acting as representative of the underwriters. The services provided by JP Morgan Securities LLC were in the ordinary course of their role as lead underwriter, for which they received customary fees and commissions.
In January 2021, the Company closed a public offering of 17,250,000 shares of its common stock, resulting in net proceeds of $121,045, after deducting underwriting discounts and capitalizable offering expenses.
Share Lending Agreement
Concurrently with the offering of the Convertible Notes (Note 10), Precigen entered into a share lending agreement (the "Share Lending Agreement") with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the "Share Borrower") pursuant to which Precigen loaned and delivered 7,479,431 shares of its common stock (the "Borrowed Shares") to the Share Borrower. The Share Lending Agreement terminated on October 1, 2023, and the Borrowed Shares were returned to Precigen on October 5, 2023 and were recorded as treasury shares at that time.
The Share Lending Agreement was entered into at fair value and met the requirements for equity classification. Therefore, the value was netted against the issuance of the Borrowed Shares in additional paid-in capital. Additionally, the Borrowed Shares were not included in the denominator for loss per share attributable to Precigen shareholders.
At-the-Market Sales Agreement
On August 9, 2022, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company could issue and sell from time to time shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Shares”), through the Agent. The offering and sale of up to $100,000 of the Shares was registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company had no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the Sales Agreement, and could at any time suspend or terminate the offering of its common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement upon notice and subject to other conditions. The Company intended to use the proceeds of any sales to fund the development of clinical and preclinical product candidates and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
On July 1, 2023, the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (file number 333-239366) pursuant to which the shares available under the sales Agreement had been registered, expired. The Company filed a new Registration Statement on Form S-3 (file number 333-276337) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 29, 2023, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 17, 2024. However, the Company has not renewed the Sales Agreement in conjunction with the effectiveness of the new Registration Statement and therefore is precluded from selling Shares through the Agent.
No shares were sold in connection with the Sales Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023.
Components of Accumulated Other Comprehensive loss
The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows:

| Loss on foreign currency translation adjustments | (1,914) | (2,728) |
| Total accumulated other comprehensive loss | $(1,947) | $(3,488) |
- Share-Based Payments
The Company measures the fair value of stock options and RSUs issued to employees and nonemployees as of the grant date for recognition of stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense for employees and nonemployees is recognized over the requisite service period, which is typically the vesting period. Stock-based compensation costs included in the consolidated statements of operations are presented below:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | |

Precigen Equity Compensation Plans
In August 2013, Precigen adopted the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"), for employees and nonemployees pursuant to which Precigen's board of directors granted share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units, shares of common stock and other awards, to employees, officers, consultants, advisors, and nonemployee directors. Upon the effectiveness of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan") by Precigen's shareholders in June 2023, as discussed in the next paragraph, no new awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan and any awards granted under the 2013 Plan prior to the effectiveness of the 2023 Plan will remain outstanding under such plan and will continue to vest and/or become exercisable in accordance with their original terms and conditions. As of December 31, 2023, there were 18,559,333 stock options andno RSUs outstanding under the 2013 Plan.
The 2023 Plan permits the grant of share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards, RSUs, performanced-based awards and other awards, to officers, employees and nonemployees. The 2023 Plan authorizes for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2023 Plan an aggregate of 16,418,137 shares, which included shares remaining available for issuance under the 2013 Plan upon the adoption of the 2023 Plan. As of December 31, 2023, there were 340,000 stock options andno RSUs were outstanding under the 2023 Plan and 16,078,137 shares were available for grant.
In April 2019, Precigen adopted the 2019 Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Service Providers (the "2019 Plan"), which became effective upon shareholder approval in June 2019. The 2019 Plan permits the grant of share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards, and RSUs, to non-employee service providers, including board members. As of December 31, 2023, there were 12,000,000 shares authorized for issuance under the 2019 Plan, of which 3,158,007 stock options and 961,534 RSUs were outstanding and 4,502,466 shares were available for grant.
Stock options may be granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the stock's fair market value at the date of grant. Stock options may be granted with an exercise price less than the stock's fair market value at the date of grant only if the stock options are replacement options in accordance with certain United States Treasury regulations. All stock options have terms of up toten-year and vest four years from the date of grant.
Stock option activity was as follows:

Total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested awards as of December 31, 2023 were $10,217 and are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.34 years.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $0.92, $1.65, and $5.57, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $0, $0, and $225, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the fair value of Precigen's common stock for those shares where the exercise price was lower than the fair value of Precigen's common stock on the date of exercise.
RSU activity was as follows:

Precigen currently uses treasury shares and authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award exercises.
- Operating Leases
The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under operating leases. Leases with a lease term of twelve months or less are considered short-term leases and are not recorded on the balance sheet, and expense for these leases is recognized over the term of the lease. All other leases have remaining terms of less thanone year toseven years, some of which may include options to extend the lease and some of which may include options to terminate the lease withinone year. The Company uses judgment to determine whether it is reasonably possible to extend the lease beyond the initial term or terminate before the initial term ends and the length of the possible extension or early termination. The leases are renewable at the option of the Company and do not contain residual value guarantees, covenants, or other restrictions.
The components of lease costs were as follows:

- Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
In October 2020, several shareholder class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of certain purchasers of the Company's common stock. The complaints name as defendants the Company and certain of its current and former officers. The plaintiffs' claims challenged disclosures about the MBP program from May 10, 2017 to March 1, 2019. In March 2021, the court granted an order consolidating the claims and, in April 2021, appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel in the case, captioned Inre Precigen Securities Litigation, Case No. 5:20-cv-06936-BLF (N.D. Cal.). On May 18, 2021, the lead plaintiff filed an Amended Class Action Complaint. On August 2, 2021, the defendants moved to dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint. On September 27, 2021, the lead plaintiff filed a Second Amended Class Action Complaint in lieu of a response to the defendants’ motion to dismiss. On November 3, 2021, the defendants moved to dismiss the Second Amended Class Action Complaint and on May 31, 2022, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Second Amended Class Action Complaint with leave to amend. On August 1, 2022, the lead plaintiff filed a Third Amended Class Action Complaint.
On August 2, 2022 the Court granted the parties' request to conduct a private mediation session to explore potential resolution of the action. On November 17, 2022, at the conclusion of the mediation session, the parties executed a memorandum of understanding that agreed in principle to resolve the claims asserted in the securities class action. The settlement provides for a payment to the plaintiff class of $13,000. As a result, the shareholder class action lawsuit was resolved. As of December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an accrual of $13,000 in settlement and indemnification accruals on the consolidated balance sheet for this matter. In addition, the Company recognized an insurance receivable asset of $12,411 within Receivables, other, on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, in addition to expense recognized in 2022 of $589 recorded in selling, general and administrative on the consolidated statement of operations, the amount remaining on its self-insured retention/deductible. On November 6, 2023, the Court granted final approval of the settlement, dismissed the litigation with prejudice, and entered final judgment. As a result, the Company had no amounts recorded in settlement and indemnification accruals or an insurance receivable asset on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
In December 2020, a derivative shareholder action, captioned Edward D. Wright, derivatively on behalf of Precigen, Inc. F/K/A Intrexon Corp. v. Alvarez et al, was filed in the Circuit Court for Fairfax County in Virginia on behalf of Precigen, Inc. asserting similar claims under state law against Precigen's current directors and certain officers. 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 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. The Company intends to defend the lawsuits vigorously; however, there can be no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits.
In the course of its business, the Company is involved in litigation or legal matters, including governmental investigations. Such matters may result in adverse judgments, unfavorable settlements, or concessions by the Company, or adverse regulatory action, any of which could harm the Company’s business or operations. Moreover, such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company accrues liabilities for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2023, the Company does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
- Segments
The Company's CODM assesses the operating performance of and allocates resources for several operating segments using Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes this financial metric is a key indicator of operating results since it excludes noncash revenues and expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance of an individual enterprise. The Company defines Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) interest expense and interest income, (ii) income tax expense or benefit, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) loss on settlement agreements where noncash consideration is paid, (vi) adjustments for accrued bonuses paid in equity awards, (vii) gain or loss on disposals of assets, (viii) loss on impairment of goodwill and other noncurrent assets, (ix) equity in net loss of affiliates, and (x) recognition of previously deferred revenue associated with upfront and milestone payments as well as cash outflows from capital expenditures and investments in affiliates but includes proceeds from the sale of assets in the period sold. Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes the gain or loss on disposals of assets and include proceeds from the sale of assets in the period sold.
Because the Company uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA as its primary measure of segment performance, it has included this measure in its discussion of segment operating results. The Company has also disclosed revenues from external customers and intersegment revenues for each reportable segment. The CODM does not use total assets by segment to evaluate segment performance or allocate resources, and accordingly, these amounts are not required to be disclosed. The Company's segment presentation excludes amounts related to the operations of MBP Titan and Trans Ova which are reported as discontinued operations (Note 3).
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company's reportable segments were (i) Biopharmaceuticals and (ii) Exemplar. These identified reportable segments met the quantitative thresholds to be reported separately for the year ended December 31, 2023. See Note 2 for a description of Biopharmaceuticals and Exemplar.
