Arizona Tribune - Moolec Science Achieves One of the Highest Commercial-Scale GLA Concentrations From U.S. GLASO1 Crushing

The results follow the successful completion of Moolec's 2025 U.S. GLASO¹ safflower campaign and represent a major operational milestone, validating the Company's ability to deliver commercial-scale agricultural and industrial performance through its plant-engineered molecular farming platform.

Crushing Results Confirm Commercial-Scale Performance
Following harvest, safflower produced under the GLASO¹ program was processed through standard U.S. crushing operations. Analysis confirmed:

• ~45% GLA concentration

• Compatibility with existing U.S. agricultural and industrial infrastructure

These results confirm that the GLASO¹ platform performs reliably through the crushing stage at commercial scale, a critical validation step for scalable ingredient production.

2025 GLASO¹ U.S. Campaign Highlights

• 1,100 acres of engineered safflower cultivated across the United States

• Average yield of approximately 2,200 lbs/acre, up from ~1,400 lbs/acre in 2024

• 57% year-over-year yield increase

• Harvest performance materially exceeded internal forecasts

The 2025 campaign marked Moolec's first successful large-scale expansion of the GLASO¹ platform, transitioning from prior development and smaller-scale deployments to full commercial agricultural execution.

Strategic Positioning in the U.S. Nutrition & Supplements Market
The high GLA concentration achieved through the GLASO¹ platform significantly strengthens Moolec's positioning in the U.S. nutrition and dietary supplements market, where demand favors:

• High-concentration functional lipids

• Plant-engineered, traceable ingredients

• Scalable production systems aligned with existing infrastructure

Early engagement with U.S.-based market participants supports the Company's strategy of disciplined, execution-led growth anchored in validated performance rather than speculative scale-up.

"The U.S. GLASO¹ platform has reached an inflection point," said Alejandro Antalich, CEO at Moolec Science. Achieving approximately 45% GLA concentration at commercial scale confirms that our technology is not only scientifically differentiated, but operationally executable within existing U.S. agricultural and processing infrastructure."

"We believe the approximately 45% GLA concentration achieved by GLASO¹ places it among the highest-performing GLA-producing platforms reported at commercial scale. This achievement reflects disciplined execution and close collaboration with best-in-class U.S. operators across the agricultural and processing value chain. Together, we have successfully validated acreage expansion, harvest performance, and crushing operations at scale. Our focus now is to build on this foundation through disciplined growth and the conversion of this operational advantage into sustainable, recurring revenue," concluded Antalich

Execution-Led Growth Strategy
Moolec continues to prioritize:

• Scaling platforms with demonstrated, repeatable performance

• Leveraging existing U.S. agricultural infrastructure

• Maintaining strict cost and capital discipline

• Communicating progress through execution-driven milestones

The Company views the 2025 U.S. GLASO¹ campaign and subsequent crushing results as a foundational step toward repeatable commercial-scale production and long-term value creation.
