The Rights Agreement, dated September 3, 2012, between Codexis, Inc. (the “Company”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”), and all preferred stock purchase rights distributed to holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Rights Agreement (the “Rights”), expired in accordance with the terms of the Rights Agreement at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on September 2, 2013.
