| Parasitic nematodes are microscopic roundworms that cause disease in humans,
other animals, and plants. Plant parasitic nematodes are the largest unsolved pest
problem in agriculture. Despite over $80 billion in annual crop damage, current nematode controls are limited and environmentally
damaging. Parasitic nematodes also pose major health risks to humans, pets, and livestock, and resistance to current drugs is
increasingly a problem.

| The biotechnology company Divergence, Inc. is a team of experienced, passionate
scientists who develop breakthroughs in nematode control through fundamental insights into the molecular vulnerabilities of parasites.
We are developing crops with resistance to nematodes and also nematode-controlling agrochemicals with superior human and environmental
safety, both resulting in higher yields for farmers. Beyond parasite control, Divergence has pioneered novel broad-based platform
technologies including RNAi, Harvest™, and
STEM™.
