NOTE 1: – GENERAL
Evogene is a computational biology and chemistry company focused on the development of life-science products utilizing its computational predictive biology platforms. The Company has established three technological engines – MicroBoost AI, ChemPass AI and GeneRator AI – focused on the discovery and development of products based on microbes, small molecules and genetic elements, respectively.
During 2025, the Company commenced the implementation of a strategic shift to focus its efforts on developing products based on small molecules. As a result, the Company has focused its activities mainly on ChemPass AI, deployed across the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries, and streamlined activities outside its focus areas.
The Company has the following direct and indirect subsidiaries: Casterra Ag Ltd. (formerly Evofuel Ltd.), Casterra Kenya Limited, Evogene Inc., Biomica Ltd.(“Biomica”), AgPlenus Ltd., AgPlenus Inc., Lavie Bio Ltd., Lavie Bio Inc., Lavie Tech Inc., Taxon Biosciences, Inc. and Canonic Ltd.
Casterra Ag Ltd. focuses on the development and sales of improved castor seeds and grains for industrial uses. In March 2025, Casterra incorporated Casterra Kenya Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, which is currently in the process of dissolution. The Company is in the process of incorporating a wholly owned subsidiary in Brazil Casterra Ltda.

Under the agreement, Biomica is eligible to receive development and sales milestone payments and royalties, subject to certain conditions. Following the licensing agreement and the completion of the BMC128 Phase 1 clinical study, Biomica concluded its ongoing operations. Accordingly, beginning in the second quarter of 2026, Biomica’s results are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of profit or loss. During the second quarter of 2026, Biomica distributed a $2,700 dividend to its shareholders, of which $1,350 was paid to non-controlling interests.

In 2019, Lavie Bio Ltd. incorporated two wholly owned US subsidiaries: Lavie Bio Inc., and Lavie Tech Inc. Lavie Tech Inc. wholly owns Taxon Biosciences, Inc.
Lavie Bio Inc., Lavie Tech Inc. and Taxon Biosciences, Inc. were dissolved as of May 26, 2026.
