PRESS RELEASE
Cellectis S.A. Announces Calyxt is New Name for its Plant Sciences Subsidiary
May 4, 2015 – Paris (France) – Cellectis S.A. (Alternext: ALCLS – Nasdaq Global Market: CLLS) a pioneering gene-editing company employing proprietary technologies to develop best-in-class products in the emerging field of immuno-oncology, today announced that it has changed the name of its subsidiary, Cellectis plant sciences, Inc. to Calyxt, Inc.
The name change is part of Cellectis' effort to further distinguish the parent company's focus from that of it subsidiary.
