RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the risks described below and those risk factors described under the heading "Item 1.A. Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as may be updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus supplement and the information and documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize for use in connection with this offering before you make a decision to invest in our securities. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition could be harmed. This could cause the trading price of the Class A Common Stock to decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks below and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. Please also read carefully the section below titled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Risks Relating to the Offering

If you purchase shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering, you will experience immediate dilution.

The offering price of the Class A Common Stock exceeds the net tangible book value per share of Class A Common Stock as of June 30, 2024, before giving effect to this offering. Accordingly, purchasers of shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution of approximately $   per share of Class A Common Stock, representing the difference between the offering price of $   per share of Class A Common Stock and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2024, after giving effect to this offering. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see the section in this prospectus supplement entitled "Dilution" beginning on page S-17.

Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend on our ability to obtain additional financing in the near term.

As of June 30, 2024, we had $30.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. Current liabilities were $29.0 million as of June 30, 2024.

Even if this offering is successful, there will continue to be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the absence of additional financing. To finance our continued operations under our current business plan over the next 12 months, we will need to raise additional capital, including after giving effect to this offering. Such financing may not be available within our required timeframes, on acceptable terms, or at all.

In light of the foregoing needs and constraints on our capital resources, a special committee of our Board of Directors is evaluating a full range of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, which may include potential equity or debt financing transactions, business combination transactions (including an acquisition or merger transaction), sales of assets, licensing or other strategic transactions. Certain potential strategic transaction alternatives could (i) result in substantial additional dilution to existing stockholders, (ii) result in the issuance of securities with preferences over our Common Stock, (iii) subject us to covenants that impose operational restrictions, (iv) require us to relinquish potentially valuable rights to pipeline traits or proprietary technologies, (v) result in the granting of licenses on terms that are not favorable to us, or (vi) have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Class A Common Stock.

In addition, on October 18, 2023, we implemented a strategic realignment pursuant to which we initiated cost reduction initiatives designed to preserve capital resources for the advancement of our priority objectives, which initiatives included reductions in capital expenditures, streamlining of independent contractor utilization, and prioritization of near-term payment obligations. Our management has continued to proactively assess further cost reduction opportunities in view of current constraints and may implement one or more of such additional measures.

S-9

If we fail to obtain substantial funding or consummate a strategic transaction in the next several months and are unable to continue as a going concern, we may be required to discontinue or delay one or more of our development programs or to wind-down our business through the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings. In the event of a wind-down, it is likely that holders of our Class A Common Stock, including investors in this offering, will lose all or part of their investment. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

Sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock result in dilution to our stockholders. In order to raise additional capital, we expect to offer additional shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock, including sales of Class A Common Stock pursuant to a sales agreement between the Company and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated ("Stifel"), pursuant to which we may, from time to time, sell shares of our Class A Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $80.0 million through Stifel, as the Company's sales agent, in an at-the-market offering (the "ATM Facility"), under which approximately $62.7 million of availability remained at June 30, 2024.

In addition to sales of Class A Common Stock made pursuant to the ATM Facility, we expect in the future to seek to raise additional equity financing, including through the offer of additional shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock. Moreover, such additional equity offerings may occur in the near term following this offering.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price paid by investors in this offering for a share of Class A Common Stock and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share of Class A Common Stock in this offering.

Furthermore, if outstanding options or Warrants are exercised, you could experience further dilution. As of June 30, 2024, approximately 6,845,767 shares of Class A Common Stock are either issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock, issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, issuable upon vesting and settlement of outstanding restricted stock units, issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants or reserved for future issuance under the Plan and are eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting schedules. Moreover, in the event that Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised, we will not receive any meaningful amount of additional funds upon such exercise.

If our large stockholders sell a substantial number of shares of Class A Common Stock in either the private or public markets, the market price of the Class A Common Stock could decrease materially. The perception in the public market that these stockholders might sell Class A Common Stock could also depress the market price of the Class A Common Stock and could impair our future ability to obtain capital, especially through an offering of equity securities.

Additionally, shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable under our equity incentive plans to employees and directors have been registered on Form S-8 registration statements and may be freely sold in the public market upon issuance.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds we receive in this offering and might not apply the proceeds in ways that increase the value of your investment.

Our management will have broad discretion to use the net proceeds from this offering, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. You will not have the

S-10

opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use the proceeds, and we may not apply the net proceeds of this offering in ways that increase the value of your investment. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we intend to invest the net proceeds from this offering in marketable securities that may include investment-grade interest-bearing securities, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government in accordance with our investment policy. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future, and, as a result, any return on investment may be limited to the value of the Class A Common Stock.

We have never paid dividends and do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. If we do not pay dividends, the Class A Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if the price per share of Class A Common Stock appreciates and you sell the Class A Common Stock thereafter.

Risks Related to Ownership of Class A Common Stock

The market price of the Class A Common Stock has been and could remain volatile, which could adversely affect the market price of the Class A Common Stock.

The market price the Class A Common Stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, volatility in response to various factors. Between the closing date of our merger with Cibus Global on May 31, 2023 and September 16, 2024, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market fluctuated from a high of $31.50 per share to a low of $4.45 per share. Some factors that may cause the market price of the Class A Common Stock to fluctuate include our quarterly operating results, our perceived prospects or the perceptions of the market of our pipeline, new products or technologies, changes in securities analysts' recommendations or earnings estimates and our ability to meet such estimates, changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets, capital raising activity and other developments affecting us or our competitors.

These and other market and industry factors may cause the market price and demand for the Class A Common Stock to fluctuate substantially, regardless of our actual operating performance, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their Class A Common Stock at a favorable price or at all and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of the Class A Common Stock.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue adverse or misleading opinions regarding our Class A Common Stock, the price of the Class A Common Stock and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for the Class A Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or the performance of the Class A Common Stock, or if our operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, the price of the Class A Common Stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the price of the Class A Common Stock or trading volume to decline.

S-11

S-12

While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in the foregoing documents by these cautionary statements.

S-13

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds we receive from this offering will be approximately $   million (or approximately $   million if the underwriters fully exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock) after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund further development of new and improvement of existing seed traits, Trait Machine operations, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

We have not determined the amounts that we plan to spend on any specific area or the timing of such expenditures. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion to use the net proceeds from this offering. Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in marketable securities that may include investment-grade interest-bearing securities, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government in accordance with our investment policy.

S-14

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to invest in our business and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

S-15

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Our total number of authorized shares of capital stock consists of (i) 210,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) 90,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, and (iii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share ("Preferred Stock"). As of June 30, 2024, we had outstanding 23,015,417 shares of Class A Common Stock (excluding 469,095 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock, which remain subject to vesting), 3,112,516 shares of Class B Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock.

S-16

DILUTION

If you invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of Class A Common Stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Class A Common Stock immediately after this offering.

Our net tangible book value (deficit) as of June 30, 2024 was $(162.3) million, or $(7.05) per share. Net tangible book value (deficit) per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Dilution in net tangible book value (deficit) per share of Class A Common Stock represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per share of Class A Common Stock immediately after giving effect to this offering.

After giving effect to the sale of      shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering by us at the offering price of $   per share, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock, our as-adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) as of June 30, 2024 would have been $  million, or $  per share. This represents an immediate decrease in net tangible book deficit of $  per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $   per share to investors participating in this offering, as illustrated in the following table:

The above illustration assumes no exercise by the underwriters of the underwriters' option to purchase up to an additional    shares of Class A Common Stock from us, If the underwriters exercise their option in full to purchase     additional shares of Class A Common Stock in this offering, the as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per share as of June 30, 2024, after giving effect to this offering, would be $   per share and the dilution per share to investors purchasing Class A Common Stock in this offering would be $   per share.

The above discussion and table are based on 23,015,417 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024, and excludes as of that date:

S-17

The above illustration of dilution per share to investors participating in this offering assumes no further exercise of outstanding options or Warrants and no future issuances by us of shares of our Class A Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our Class A Common Stock. To the extent that any outstanding options are exercised or other shares are issued upon vesting of outstanding awards or otherwise, there will be further dilution to new investors.

S-18

UNDERWRITING

We have entered into an underwriting agreement with the several underwriters listed in the table below. Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth Capital Partners") and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners ("A.G.P.") are the representatives of the underwriters.

The shares of Class A Common Stock are offered subject to receipt and acceptance by the underwriters and to the other conditions, including the right to reject orders in whole or in part.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS

Subject to the limitations, assumptions and qualifications described herein, the following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to this offering (the "Shares") to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below). Prospective holders of the Shares should consult their tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Shares. This discussion is based on current provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published administrative pronouncements and rulings of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement. These authorities are subject to change and to differing interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. Any change or differing interpretation could alter the tax consequences to holders described in this discussion. There can be no assurance that a court or the IRS will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described herein, and Cibus has not obtained, nor does it intend to obtain, a ruling with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a holder of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Shares.

This discussion addresses only those Shares that are held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment) by holders that acquired such Shares pursuant to this offering. This discussion does not address all the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their individual circumstances, nor does it address any alternative minimum, Medicare contribution, estate or gift tax consequences, or any aspects of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. taxes). It does not address holders that are subject to special rules, such as:

If a holder is a partnership or other pass-through entity (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership or other type of pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner or beneficial owner will generally depend on the status of such partner or beneficial owner and the entity's activities. Partnerships, partners and beneficial owners in partnerships or other pass-through entities should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Shares.

S-27

For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. person" is a beneficial owner of the Shares, that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes is, or is treated as:

As used herein, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner, other than an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, of the Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, not a U.S. person.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES.

Distributions on the Shares

Cibus does not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends to holders of Cibus's Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future. However, distributions of cash or other property (other than certain distributions of stock) on the Shares will constitute dividends to the extent paid out of Cibus's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Distributions in excess of Cibus's current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its Shares, but not below zero. Any excess will be subject to the treatment as described below under "-Gain on the Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of the Shares."

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States generally will be subject to withholding tax at a 30-percent rate or a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty. In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding, the Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide Cibus or Cibus's paying agent with a properly executed applicable IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or appropriate successor form), as applicable, certifying under penalties of perjury that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. person and is eligible for the benefits under the applicable income tax treaty. These forms may need to be periodically updated. If a Non-U.S. Holder holds the Shares through a financial institution or other intermediary, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be required to provide the appropriate documentation to the financial institution or other intermediary. A Non-U.S. Holder eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty who fails to timely provide an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or appropriate successor form), as applicable, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim with the IRS.

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States), the Non-U.S. Holder will generally be taxed on the dividends in the same manner as a U.S. person. In this case, the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the withholding tax discussed in the preceding paragraph, although the Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or appropriate successor form) in order to claim an exemption from withholding. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated

S-28

U.S. federal income tax rates generally applicable to a U.S. person. Dividends received by a corporate Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30-percent rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty). Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Shares, including the possible imposition of the branch profits tax.

Gain on the Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of the Shares

Subject to the discussions below under "-Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" and "-FATCA," a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Shares unless:

Cibus believes that it is not, and does not anticipate becoming, a United States real property holding corporation.Even if Cibus is or has been a United States real property holding corporation during the specified testing period, as long as Cibus's Class A Common Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market (such as the Nasdaq Capital Market) at any time during the calendar year in which the disposition occurs, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the disposition of the Shares if the Non-U.S. Holder does not own or has not owned (actually or constructively) more than 5 percent of Cibus's Class A Common Stock at any time during the shorter of the two periods mentioned above. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this regularly traded exception, including the effect of holding warrants or other rights to acquire Class A Common Stock on the calculation of the 5-percent threshold.

In addition, although a 15% withholding tax generally applies to gross proceeds from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the stock of a United States real property holding company, such 15% withholding tax generally will not apply to the disposition of the Shares so long as Cibus's Class A Common Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market. However, the exception described in the previous sentence may not apply to certain dispositions of the Shares if the Non-U.S. Holder exceeds the 5-percent threshold mentioned above.

If a Non-U.S. Holder recognizes gain on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Shares that is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States), the Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates generally applicable to a U.S. person. If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, the Non-U.S. Holder may also be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30-percent rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Shares, including the possible imposition of the branch profits tax.

S-29

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends on the Shares. Copies of the information returns reporting those dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which a Non-U.S. Holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or agreement. Unless a Non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. person, information returns may also be filed with the IRS in connection with the proceeds from a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Shares to or through the U.S. office (and, in certain cases, the foreign office) of a broker.

A Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24 percent) on payments on the Shares or on the proceeds from a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Shares unless the Non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. person or otherwise establishes an exemption. Compliance with the certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty (including properly certifying non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 (or appropriate successor form)) generally will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid backup withholding as well. Notwithstanding the foregoing, U.S. federal backup withholding may apply if the payor has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that a holder is a U.S. person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.

FATCA

Provisions of the Code commonly referred to as "FATCA" generally require withholding of 30 percent on payments of dividends on the Shares, as well as payments of gross proceeds of dispositions of the Shares, to a "foreign financial institution" (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied or an exemption applies. However, the IRS has issued proposed U.S. Treasury regulations that eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds (but not on payments of dividends). Pursuant to the preamble to the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, any applicable withholding agent may (but is not required to) rely on this proposed change to FATCA withholding until final U.S. Treasury regulations are issued or the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations are withdrawn. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their investments in the Shares.

Cibus will not pay any additional amounts to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to any amounts withheld, including pursuant to FATCA.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF THE SHARES, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

Our Company

We are a leading agricultural technology company in the plant seed industry. We are not a seed company. We are a gene editing-based technology company whose business is to develop and license plant traits to seed companies in exchange for royalties. Our target trait market is productivity traits that improve yields, lower input (such as chemicals) costs, and increase the sustainability and profitability of farming. We have a pipeline of six productivity traits, four of which are applicable to multiple crops. Three of our traits are developed, field validated, have been edited into the elite lines of seed company partners and have started being transferred to these partners for pre-commercialization testing. These traits are pod shatter resistance (PSR) in Canola and two herbicide resistance traits: HT1 and HT3; in Rice. In addition, we have two advanced traits (i.e., where the editing process is underway with known edit targets) for Sclerotinia Resistance and another novel herbicide resistance trait: HT2. Cibus' work in nitrogen use efficiency is in its early stages. Our primary commercial objective is advancing our three developed traits: PSR, HT1 and HT3 into customer commercial lines in Canola, WOSR and Rice. Because of the strategic realignment in October 2023, certain development timelines not linked to the initial and advanced traits, such as those associated with the development of our corn and wheat platform, are expected to be extended beyond our initial anticipated targets. In addition, we are developing, solely through partner-funded projects, certain output traits to meet the functional needs of the new sustainable ingredients industry to replace current ingredients that are plastics or fossil fuel based or that cause deforestation or raise other sustainability challenges. Our Class A Common Stock trades on Nasdaq under the symbol "CBUS."

Our "Up-C" Corporate Structure

We are a holding company with substantially all of our assets and operations conducted through Cibus Global and its subsidiaries. Our sole material asset consists of our interest in Cibus Global. We are the sole managing member of Cibus Global and are responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to Cibus Global's business and consolidate the financial results of Cibus Global and its subsidiaries. Owners of Cibus Global's Common Units ("Cibus Global Common Units") other than us own a corresponding number of shares of our Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class B Common Stock," and together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Shares"), which have voting (but no economic) rights with respect to Cibus, Inc.

Company Information

Our principal executive offices are located at 6455 Nancy Ridge Drive, San Diego, CA 92121 and our telephone number is (858) 450-0008. Cibus' filings with the SEC are posted on its corporate website at www.cibus.com. The information found on our website is not part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider those risk factors described in Exhibit 99.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2023, under the heading "Risk Factors" in any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K (other than, in each case, information furnished rather than filed), which are incorporated by reference herein, and those risk factors that may be included in any applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents we incorporate by reference, in evaluating an investment in our securities. Our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our Class A Common Stock could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should also refer to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

5

USE OF PROCEEDS

Except as otherwise provided in any applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of securities for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include research and development costs, the acquisitions or in-licensing of traits or technologies, repayment and refinancing of debt, working capital and capital expenditures. As a result, management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of net proceeds of any offering.

The specific allocation of the net proceeds of an offering of securities to a specific purpose if any, will be determined at the time of the offering and will be described in any applicable prospectus supplement.

6

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may use one or more of the following methods when selling securities under this prospectus:

We may prepare prospectus supplements that will disclose the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price of the securities, any underwriting discounts and other items constituting compensation to underwriters, dealers or agents.

We may fix a price or prices of our securities at:

We may change the price of the securities offered from time to time.

We may sell securities through brokers, dealers, agents or underwriters, who may act on a best efforts basis for a specified period of appointment or on a firm commitment basis.

If we use underwriters in an offering, we will execute an underwriting agreement with such underwriters and will specify the name of each underwriter and the terms of the transaction (including any underwriting discounts and other terms constituting compensation of the underwriters and any dealers) in a prospectus supplement. If we use an underwriting syndicate, the managing underwriter(s) will be specified on the cover of the prospectus supplement. If we use underwriters for a sale of securities, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own accounts. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more

7

transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if any are purchased.

If dealers are used in an offering, we may sell the securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers then may resell the securities to the public at varying prices which they determine at the time of resale. The names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction will be specified in a prospectus supplement.

If agents are used in an offering, the names of the agents and the terms of the agency will be specified in a prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the agents will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of their appointment.

Dealers and agents named in a prospectus supplement may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will identify in the applicable prospectus supplement any underwriters, dealers or agents and will describe their compensation. We may enter into agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against specified civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in other transactions with and perform other services for us in the ordinary course of business.

If so indicated in a prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by institutional investors to purchase securities pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. We may enter contracts with commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutional investors. The obligations of any institutional investor will be subject to the condition that its purchase of the offered securities will not be illegal at the time of delivery. The underwriters and other agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of contracts.

In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment).

In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities. Specifically, any underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of the securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a

8

syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

The place and time of delivery for securities will be set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for securities may be more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if a purchaser wishes to trade securities on any date prior to the second business day before the original issue date for such securities, the purchaser will be required, by virtue of the fact that such securities initially are expected to settle in more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for such securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement. To comply with applicable state securities laws, the securities offered by this prospectus will be sold, if necessary, in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, securities may not be sold in some states absent registration or pursuant to an exemption from applicable state securities laws.

The securities may be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the securities.

The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in any applicable prospectus supplement.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary of certain material provisions of our capital stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified by reference to our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (our "Amended and Restated Charter") and our amended and restated bylaws (our "Amended Bylaws"). The summary below is also qualified by reference to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL").

General

Our total number of authorized shares of capital stock consists of (i) 210,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) 90,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, and (iii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share ("Preferred Stock"). As of the date of this prospectus, we had outstanding 17,608,959 shares of Class A Common Stock, 4,642,636 shares of Class B Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock.

Class A Common Stock

Voting Rights. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally, except that holders of shares of Class A Common Stock have no voting power with respect to, and are not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of any outstanding Preferred Stock if the holders of such Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a separate class thereon under the Amended and Restated Charter or under the DGCL. The holders of Class A Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Holders of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote separately upon any amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter (including by merger, consolidation, conversion, reorganization or similar event) that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of Class A Common Stock in a manner that is materially and disproportionately adverse as compared to the Class B Common Stock.

Dividend Rights. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors (our "Board") out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding Preferred Stock.

Liquidation Rights. Upon its liquidation, dissolution or winding up and after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of Preferred Stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive pro rata the remaining assets available for distribution.

All outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The Class A Common Stock is not subject to further calls or assessments by us. Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock do not have preemptive, subscription or redemption rights. There is no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A Common Stock. The rights powers, preferences and privileges of Class A Common Stock are subject to those of the holders of any shares of Class B Common Stock and Preferred Stock or any other series or class of stock we may authorize and issue in the future.

10

Class B Common Stock

Voting Rights. Holders of shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally, except that holders of shares of Class B Common Stock have no voting power with respect to, and are not entitled to vote on, any amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of any outstanding Preferred Stock if the holders of such Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a separate class thereon under the Amended and Restated Charter or under the DGCL. The holders of Class B Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Holders of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote separately upon any amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter (including by merger, consolidation, conversion, reorganization or similar event) that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of Class B Common Stock in a manner that is materially and disproportionately adverse as compared to the Class A Common Stock.

Holders of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote separately upon any (A) merger, consolidation, conversion, reorganization or similar event in connection with any transaction or series of transactions intended to result in the Company no longer being structured as an umbrella partnership C corporation (an "Up-C Reorganization Transaction") or (B) amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter (including by merger, consolidation, conversion, reorganization or similar event) to effect an Up-C Reorganization Transaction.

Holders of the Shares vote together as a single class on all matters (or, if any holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of the Shares, as a single class with the holders of Preferred Stock) except as otherwise required in the Amended and Restated Charter or by applicable law.

Dividend Rights. Holders of Class B Common Stock do not have any right to receive dividends. In no event will any dividend be declared or made on any Shares unless (1) a corresponding dividend for all other Shares not so adjusted at the time outstanding is made in the same proportion and the same manner and (2) the dividend has been reflected in the same economically equivalent manner on all Shares. Dividends with respect to Shares may only be paid with shares of stock of the same class of common stock.

Liquidation Rights. Holders of Class B Common Stock do not have any right to receive a distribution upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

Retirement of Shares. No holder of Class B Common Stock may transfer shares of Class B Common Stock to any person unless such holder transfers a corresponding number of Cibus Global Common Units to the same person in accordance with the provisions of Cibus Global's operating agreement (the "Cibus Global Amended Operating Agreement"). If any outstanding share of Class B Common Stock ceases to be held by a holder of the corresponding Cibus Global Common Unit, such share shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Company or any holder of Class B Common Stock be transferred to the Company for no consideration and retired.

Issuance of Cibus Global Common Units. To the extent Cibus Global Common Units are issued pursuant to the Cibus Global Amended Operating Agreement to anyone other than the Company or a wholly owned subsidiary of Cibus, Inc., an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock (subject to adjustment) will be issued at par to the same person to which such Cibus Global Common Units are issued.

11

Preferred Stock

No shares of Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The Amended and Restated Charter authorizes our Board to establish one or more series of Preferred Stock. Our Board will be able to determine, with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, the powers (including voting powers), and the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.

Dividends

The DGCL permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of "surplus" or, if there is no "surplus," out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. "Surplus" is defined as the excess of the net assets of the corporation over the amount determined to be the capital of the corporation by its board of directors. The capital of the corporation is typically calculated to be (and cannot be less than) the aggregate par value of all issued shares of capital stock. Net assets equals the fair value of the total assets minus total liabilities. The DGCL also provides that dividends may not be paid out of net profits if, after the payment of the dividend, remaining capital would be less than the capital represented by the outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Declaration and payment of any dividend will be subject to the discretion of our Board.

We have no current plans to pay dividends on our Class A Common Stock. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the sole discretion of our Board and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our Board may deem relevant. Because we are a holding company and will have no direct operations, we will only be able to pay dividends from funds we receive from our subsidiaries.

Annual Stockholder Meetings

The Amended Bylaws provide that annual stockholder meetings will be held at a date, time and place, if any, as may be designated by our Board or, in the absence of a designation by our Board, by the chair, the chief executive officer or the secretary. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we may conduct meetings by remote communications, including by webcast.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Amended and Restated Charter, the Amended Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

The Amended and Restated Charter, the Amended Bylaws and certain provisions of the DGCL contain provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our Board. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile or abusive change of control and enhance the ability of our Board to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire the Company. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the Shares held by stockholders.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of shares that are authorized and available for issuance. However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which apply so long as our Class A Common Stock remains listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power of our capital stock or then outstanding number of shares of Class A Common Stock. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

12

Our Board will be authorized to generally issue shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock on terms calculated to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control the Company or the removal of our management. Moreover, our authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock will be available for future issuances in one or more series without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate acquisitions and employee benefit plans.

One of the effects of the existence of authorized and unissued and unreserved Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be to enable our Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive our stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Class A Common Stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships

The Amended and Restated Charter and the Amended Bylaws provide that any vacancies on our Board, and any newly created directorships, will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, and any director so chosen will hold office until the earlier expiration of the term of office of the director whom he or she has replaced or his or her successor shall be duly elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any director then in office.

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation specifically authorizes cumulative voting. The Amended and Restated Charter does not authorize cumulative voting. Therefore, stockholders holding a majority in voting power of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors will be able to elect all directors.

Special Stockholder Meetings

The Amended and Restated Charter and the Amended Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the chair of our Board, our chief executive officer or at the direction of our Board pursuant to a written resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors that we would have if there were no vacancies. Any business transacted at a special meeting of stockholders will be limited to matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting. These provisions may have the effect of deterring, delaying or discouraging hostile takeovers, or changes in control or our management.

Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals

The Amended Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder nominations for the election as directors. In order for any matter to be "properly brought" before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with advance notice requirements and provide us with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder's notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. The Amended Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder's notice. The Amended Bylaws allow the chair of the meeting at a meeting of the stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of the Company.

13

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is or are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Amended and Restated Charter precludes stockholder action by written consent; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a class, may be effected by the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class in lieu of a duly called annual or special meeting of holders of Class B Common Stock.

These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of the Company or our management, such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our Board and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of our Board. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers the Class A Common Stock and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of the Class A Common Stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in management.

DGCL Section 203

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. In general, those provisions prohibit a Delaware corporation, including those whose securities are listed for trading on Nasdaq, from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, including the circumstances where the Shares are, at the effective date of a merger or consolidation, either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders, our stockholders will have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation the Company. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

14

Stockholders' Derivative Actions

Under the DGCL, any of our stockholders may bring an action in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of Shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder's stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

Exclusive Forum

The Amended and Restated Charter provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Amended and Restated Charter or Amended Bylaws, or (iv) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in the Amended and Restated Charter. However, the enforceability of similar forum provisions in other companies' certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be unenforceable.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors and officers to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' and officers' fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Amended and Restated Charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors and officers for monetary damages to the corporation or its stockholders for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders, through stockholders' derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director or an officer for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation will not apply to any breaches of a director's or officer's duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or for any transaction from which such director or officer derived an improper personal benefit.

The Amended and Restated Charter generally provides that we must defend, indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL. We will also be expressly authorized to carry directors' and officers' liability insurance providing indemnification for its directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions in the Amended and Restated Charter and the Amended Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors or officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit Cibus, Inc. and its stockholders.

Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary receipt will be entitled, in proportion to the fraction of a share of preferred stock represented by the related depositary share, to all the rights, preferences and privileges of, and will be subject to all of the limitations and restrictions on, the preferred stock represented by the depositary receipt (including, if applicable, dividend, voting, conversion, exchange redemption and liquidation rights).

Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, all as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular issue of warrants. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of warrants or beneficial owners of warrants. The following summary of certain provisions of the warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all provisions of the warrant agreements.

The exercise price may be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of events described in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the Expiration Date (or such later date to which we may extend such Expiration Date), unexercised warrants will become void. The place or places where, and the manner in which, warrants may be exercised will be specified in the prospectus supplement relating to such warrants.

Prior to the exercise of any warrants, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of securities, including the right to receive payments of any dividends on the securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants, or to exercise any applicable right to vote.
