Calyx Announces Commercial Launch of Higher Yielding Variety of Resonance(R) Carinata

1. For Immediate Release
Calyx Announces Commercial Launch of
Higher Yielding Variety of Resonance® Carinata
May 14, 2013 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Calyx Bio-Ventures Inc., (TSX-V: CYX) is
pleased to announce the commercial launch of an improved variety of Resonance® carinata, an
industrial oilseed crop that is proprietary to Calyx’s operating subsidiary, Agrisoma Biosciences
Inc. Oil extracted from carinata can be refined into fuels used as 100 percent petroleum
substitutes.
Performance trials of this next-generation variety of Resonancecarinata, AAC A110, delivered
an average yield improvement of 7% compared to the existing Resonance carinata variety, AAC
A100 (where yield is measured as the weight of the crop harvested per acre). AAC A110 also
demonstrated an improved meal profile.The AAC A110 variety was developed and extensively
field-tested over the last three growing seasons at multiple locations in Western Canada.
“The yield improvements from AAC A110 enablesproduction of more oil for every acre planted,
compared to the AAC A100 line. This further substantiates the value proposition for Resonance
carinata to become the leading oilseed crop for the biofuel industry,” said Hugh Notman, CEO of
Calyx. “Continuing to develop higher yielding varietiesis a high priority for our company.”
Performance trials of AAC A110 resulted in yields as high as 44 bushels per acre. AAC A110
also resulted in an improvedmeal (the resulting byproduct of carinata after the oil has been
extracted) profile. Resonance carinata produces a high-soluble protein meal that can be sold into
the cattle feed market.
AAC A110 has the same seeding rates and crop inputs (fertilizer, weed and insect control) as
A100, and costs the same to produce, treat, clean and deliver to farmers.
“Ultimately we get a better crop that results in even better land utilization, which has
implications across the entire value chain,” Notman said. “Equally important is thatthe
production and use of carinata as a fuel substantially reduces carbon and other harmful
emissions.”
Beginning with the current planting season, AAC A110 will be the variety of Resonance carinata
sold for commercial production.
