CYTODYN INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2022

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Organization

CytoDyn Inc. (together with its wholly own subsidiaries, the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002, under the name RexRay Corporation and, effective August 27, 2015, reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company is a late-stage biotechnology company focused on the clinical development of innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on its product candidate,leronlimab (PRO 140), a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. The Company is studying leronlimab in human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”), oncology, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”), and coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CytoDyn Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CytoDyn Operations Inc. and Advanced Genetic Technologies, Inc. (“AGTI”); AGTI is a dormant entity.

Leronlimab is being investigated as a viral entry inhibitor for HIV, believed to competitively bind to the N-terminus and second extracellular loop of the CCR5 receptor. For immunology, the CCR5 receptor is believed to be implicated in immune-mediated illnesses such as NASH. Leronlimab is being studied in NASH, oncology, COVID-19, and other therapeutic indications where CCR5 is believed to play an integral role.

The Company capitalizes inventories procured or produced in preparation for product launches sufficient to support estimated initial market demand subject to regulatory approval for commercial sale. The Company believes that material uncertainties related to the ultimate regulatory approval of leronlimab for commercial sale have been significantly reduced based on positive data from its Phase 2b/3 clinical trial for leronlimab as a combination therapy with highly active antiretroviral therapy (“HAART”) for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients, as well as information gathered from meetings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) related to its Biologic License Application (“BLA”) for this indication. In July 2020, the Company received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA regarding its BLA submission for leronlimab as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients. The FDA informed the Company the BLA did not contain certain information and data needed to complete a substantive review and therefore, the FDA would not file the BLA. The deficiencies cited by FDA included administrative deficiencies, omissions, corrections to data presentation and related analyses, and clarifications regarding the manufacturing processes. The Company is working with consultants to cure the BLA deficiencies noted and plans to resubmit the BLA as soon as practical. In November 2021, the Company resubmitted the non-clinical and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (“CMC”) sections of the BLA and is currently reevaluating when it expects to complete the clinical section. As of March 2022, the FDA had commenced its review of the CMC section. The Company is in dispute with its former contract research organization (“CRO”), as described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, Legal Proceedings. Recently, in the context of the litigation, the Company obtained an order requiring the CRO to release the Company’s clinical data related to the BLA, which the CRO had been withholding. Further, the order granted the Company the right to perform an audit of the CRO’s services. Additionally, the FDA recently placed the HIV program on a partial clinical hold, which may affect the ability to resubmit the BLA. The Company is in the process of evaluating the data, results of the audit, and implications of the partial clinical hold. The Company will update the status of its anticipated resubmission of the clinical section of the BLA once it completes its evaluation. The Company anticipates that when the FDA completes its review of the BLA following completion of the resubmission, leronlimab will be approved, and market acceptance of leronlimab as a treatment for HIV will be forthcoming, enabling the Company to sell the amount of pre-launch inventory on-hand prior to its expiration. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Inventories, Note 3, Inventories, net, and Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, and Part II, Item 2. Regulatory Matters, and Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information.

Basis of Presentation

Table of Contents

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CytoDyn Inc. and its subsidiaries and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period. The interim financial information and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year and prior quarter amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, or net cash flows previously reported.

Correction of Immaterial Misstatements in Prior Period Financial Statements

During the preparation of the quarterly financial statements as of and for the period ended November 30, 2021, the Company identified an error in how non-cash inducement interest expense was calculated in previous reporting periods dating back to fiscal year 2018. The original inducement expense model was designed to calculate non-cash inducement interest expense specific to inducements that modified the warrant term (e.g., extension of the term or modification of exercise price) without settling the instrument. However, starting in fiscal year 2018, inducements were primarily structured to result in a settlement of the warrant, not merely a modification of a warrant that would remain outstanding for some period. The error was identified when the model started to calculate a gain on substantially all inducements, which was inconsistent with the economics of the arrangements. The error resulted in an understatement of non-cash inducement interest expense and additional paid-in capital. The Company assessed the materiality of the misstatement in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, as well as SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99, Materiality, and No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and concluded that the misstatement was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the prior periods and, accordingly, that amendments of previously filed reports were not required. For additional information about this correction refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Form 10-Q for the interim period ended November 30, 2021.

Going Concern

The consolidated accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company incurred a net loss of $100.4 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2022 and has an accumulated deficit of $636.1 million as of February 28, 2022. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its product candidate, leronlimab, obtain approval to commercialize leronlimab from regulatory agencies, continue to outsource manufacturing of leronlimab, and ultimately achieve substantial revenues, and to attain profitability. The Company continues to pursue significant research and development activities related to leronlimab for multiple indications and expects to incur significant research and development expenses in the future primarily related to its clinical trials. These research and development activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs primarily from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional funding from other traditional sources. However, there can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information, such as the status of our analysis of the results of our clinical trials and discussions with the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) which could have an impact on the Company’s significant accounting estimates and assumptions. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various market and other relevant, appropriate assumptions. Significant estimates include, but are not limited, to those relating to stock-based compensation, capitalization of pre-launch inventories, reserve for excess and obsolete inventories, revenue recognition, research and development expenses, determination of right of use assets under lease transactions and related lease obligations, commitments and contingencies, and the assumptions used to value warrants, warrant modifications and useful lives for property and equipment and related depreciation calculations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for and recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company’s revenue is generated solely through the sale of leronlimab. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

Contracts with customers are generally in the form of a written purchase order that outlines the promised goods and the agreed upon price. Such orders are often accompanied by a master supply or distribution agreement that establishes the terms and conditions, rights of the parties, delivery terms, and pricing. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including the creditworthiness of the customer.

For the Company’s sole contract to date, the customer submits purchase orders to purchase of a specified quantity of leronlimab vials; therefore, the delivery of the ordered quantity per the purchase order is accounted for as one performance obligation. The Company does not offer discounts or rebates.

The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon rates per vial indicated in the purchase order or master supply agreement applied to the quantity of leronlimab vials that the customer requested in the purchase order. As the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation, the delivery of the product to the customer, all of the transaction price is allocated to the one performance obligation. Therefore, upon delivery of the product quantity equal to the quantity requested in the purchase order, there are no remaining performance obligations. The Company’s shipping and handling activities are considered a fulfillment cost. The Company has elected to exclude all sales and value added taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. The Company has not adjusted the transaction price for significant financing since the time period between the transfer of goods and payment is less than one year.

The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer. Management applies judgment in evaluating when a customer obtains control of the promised good which is generally when the product is delivered to the customer. The Company’s customer contract includes a standard assurance warranty to guarantee that its products comply with agreed specifications. The Company grants a conditional right of return of product in the customer’s inventory upon an adverse regulatory ruling. The Company continually evaluates the probability of such occurrence. If necessary, the Company will defer revenue recognized based on its estimate of the right of return, which considers the probability that an adverse regulatory ruling will occur and its estimate of product in the customer’s inventory.

Disaggregation of Revenue – The Company’s revenues are derived solely from the sale of leronlimab vials. The Company believes the revenues are presented at the appropriate level of detail in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Table of Contents

Contract Assets and Liabilities – The Company’s performance obligations for its contracts with customers are satisfied at a point in time through the delivery of leronlimab vials to its customer. The Company did not have revenues during the nine months ended February 28, 2021 and had $0.3 million in revenues in the nine months ended February 28, 2022. The Company did not have any contract assets or liabilities as of February 28, 2021 or 2022. For all periods presented, the Company did not recognize revenues from amounts that were previously included in a contract liability balance. In addition, for all periods presented, there was no revenue recognized in a reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

Performance Obligations – The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under the Company’s contract, each unit of product delivered to the customer represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future deliveries of the product are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

Inventories

Previously Expensed Inventories

The Company has recorded revenue related to sales of vials for emergency purposes only, solely to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients in the Philippines under Compassionate Special Permit. Cost of goods sold has been minimal because the vials sold were expensed in prior periods as research and development expense, as they were manufactured prior to the Company’s capitalization of pre-launch inventories as described below. Accordingly, all inventory amounts represent pre-launch inventories, and do not include any inventories previously expensed as research and development expense.

Capitalized Pre-launch Inventories

The Company’s pre-launch inventories consist of raw materials purchased for commercial production and work-in-progress inventory related to the substantially completed commercial production of pre-launch inventories of leronlimab to support the Company’s expected approval of the product as a combination therapy for HIV patients in the United States. Work-in-progress consists of bulk drug substance, which is the manufactured drug stored in bulk storage, and drug product, which is the manufactured drug in unlabeled vials.

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. Inventories consist of raw materials, bulk drug substance, and drug product in unlabeled vials to be used for commercialization of the Company’s biologic, leronlimab, which is in the regulatory approval process. The consumption of raw materials during production is classified as work-in-progress until saleable. Once it is determined to be in saleable condition, following regulatory approval, inventory is classified as finished goods. Inventory is evaluated for recoverability by considering the likelihood that revenue will be obtained from the future sale of the related inventory considering the status of the product within the regulatory approval process.

The Company capitalizes inventories procured or produced in preparation for product launches sufficient to support estimated initial market demand. Typically, capitalization of such inventory begins when the results of clinical trials have reached a status sufficient to support regulatory approval, uncertainties regarding ultimate regulatory approval have been significantly reduced, and the Company has determined it is probable that these capitalized costs will provide future economic benefit in excess of capitalized costs. The material factors considered by the Company in evaluating these uncertainties include the receipt and analysis of positive Phase 3 clinical trial results for the underlying product candidate, results from meetings with the relevant regulatory authorities prior to the filing of regulatory applications, and status of the Company’s regulatory applications. The Company closely monitors the status of the product within the regulatory review and approval process, including all relevant communications with regulatory authorities. If the Company is aware of any specific material risks or contingencies other than the normal regulatory review and approval process or if there are any specific issues identified relating to safety, efficacy, manufacturing, marketing or labeling, the related inventory may no longer qualify for capitalization.

The Company utilizes resins, a reusable raw material, in its bulk drug manufacturing process. Shelf-life of a resin used in commercial manufacturing of biologics is determined by the number of cycles for which it has been validated to be used in a manufacturing process, before it is considered unusable. Unpacked and unused resins have a manufacturer’s expiration date by which resins are expected to start being used in the manufacturing process without loss of their properties. Prior to a new manufacturing campaign, and between manufacturing campaigns, the resins are removed from storage, are treated and tested for suitability. Once resins are used in the manufacturing process, their shelf-life is measured by a validated predetermined number of manufacturing cycles they are usable for, conditional on appropriate storage solution under controlled environment between production campaigns, as well as by performing pre-production usability testing. Before a manufacturing campaign, each resin is tested for suitability. Regardless of the number of cycles, if a resin fails to meet prespecified suitability parameters it may not be used in manufacturing; likewise even if the resin meets suitability criteria beyond the lifetime cycles, it may no longer be used. The cost of the resins used in a manufacturing campaign is allocated to the cost of the drug product in vials.

The Company evaluates its inventory levels on a quarterly basis and writes down inventory that became obsolete, has a cost in excess of its expected net realizable value, or is in quantities in excess of expected requirements. In assessing the lower of cost or net realizable value for pre-launch inventory, the Company relies on independent analyses provided by third parties knowledgeable about the range of likely commercial prices comparable to current comparable commercial product. Quarterly, the Company also evaluates whether certain raw materials held in its inventory are expected to reach the end of their estimated shelf-lives based on passage of time, the number of manufacturing cycles they are used in and results of pre-production testing prior to the expected production date, or when resins used in the manufacturing process fail suitability tests, and records reserves if it is expected that such inventories will become obsolete prior to the expected production date.

Anticipated future sales, shelf lives, and expected approval date are considered when evaluating realizability of capitalized inventory. The shelf-life of a product is determined as part of the regulatory approval process; however, in assessing whether to capitalize pre-launch inventories, the Company considers the product stability data of all of the pre-approval inventory procured or produced to date to determine whether there is adequate shelf life. When the remaining shelf-life of drug product inventory is less than 12 months, it is likely that it will not be accepted by potential customers. However, as inventories approach their shelf-life expiration, the Company may perform additional stability testing to determine if the inventory is still viable, which can result in an extension of its shelf-life and revaluation of the need for and the amount of the previously recorded reserves. Further, in addition to performing additional stability testing, certain raw materials inventory may be sold in its then current condition prior to reaching expiration. If the Company determines it is not likely shelf-life will be able to be extended or the inventory cannot be sold prior to expiration, the Company will record the inventory down to its net realizable value.

Restricted cash

The Company records cash received from fundraising activities before the closing of the transaction as restricted cash on its consolidated balance sheets. As of February 28, 2022, the balance was $1.0 million. Refer to Note 12, Subsequent Events, for further information.

The Company utilizes resins, a reusable raw material, in its bulk drug manufacturing process.

Once resins are used in the manufacturing process, their shelf-life is measured by a validated predetermined number of manufacturing cycles they are usable for, conditional on appropriate storage solution under controlled environment between production campaigns, as well as by performing pre-production usability testing. Before a manufacturing campaign, each resin is tested for suitability. Regardless of the number of cycles, if a resin fails to meet prespecified suitability parameters it may not be used in manufacturing; likewise even if the resin meets suitability criteria beyond the lifetime cycles, it may no longer be used. The cost of the resins used in a manufacturing campaign is allocated to the cost of the drug product in vials.

The Company is in process of validating the resins’ properties based on the number of cycles they have been used for, and the remaining number of manufacturing cycles they may be used for, and expects to conclude its validation by the end of the current fiscal year. At the conclusion of the validation, the Company expects to present shelf-life of resins to be extended beyond the 13 to 24 months, as currently presented and instead to present shelf-life of resins based on remaining production cycles instead of number of months they may be used for. As of February 28, 2022, the Company did not identify any resins that failed suitability validation.

During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company reserved $3.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, for estimated obsolescence of raw materials; none during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021. In addition, during the same periods of fiscal 2022, the Company expensed $1.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and $4.8 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2021, of vialed drug product used for clinical purposes and inventory rendered defective due to manufacturing errors committed by the contract manufacturer during the manufacturing process. These expenses are recorded as research and development expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The Company believes that material uncertainties related to the ultimate regulatory approval of leronlimab for commercial sale have been significantly reduced based on positive data from its Phase 2b/3 clinical trial for leronlimab as a combination therapy with highly active antiretroviral therapy (“HAART”) for highly treatment-experienced HIV

patients, as well as information gathered from meetings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) related to its Biologic License Application (“BLA”) for this indication. In July 2020, the Company received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA regarding its BLA submission for leronlimab as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients. The FDA informed the Company the BLA did not contain certain information and data needed to complete a substantive review and therefore, the FDA would not file the BLA. The deficiencies cited by FDA included administrative deficiencies, omissions, corrections to data presentation and related analyses, and clarifications regarding the manufacturing processes. The Company is working with consultants to cure the BLA deficiencies noted and plans to resubmit the BLA as soon as practical. In November 2021, the Company resubmitted the non-clinical and CMC sections of the BLA and is currently reevaluating when it expects to complete the clinical section. As of March 2022, the FDA had commenced its review of the CMC section. The Company is in dispute with its former CRO, as described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, Legal Proceedings. Recently, in the context of the litigation, the Company obtained an order requiring the CRO to release the Company’s clinical data related to the BLA, which the CRO had been withholding. Further, the order granted the Company the right to perform an audit of the CRO’s services. Additionally, the FDA recently placed the HIV program on a partial clinical hold, which may affect the ability to resubmit the BLA. The Company is in the process of evaluating the data, results of the audit, and implications of the partial clinical hold. The Company will update the status of its anticipated resubmission of the clinical section of the BLA once it completes its evaluation. The Company anticipates that when the FDA completes its review of the BLA following completion of the resubmission, leronlimab will be approved, and market acceptance of leronlimab as a treatment for HIV will be forthcoming, enabling the Company to sell the amount of pre-launch inventory on-hand prior to its expiration.

Long-term Convertible Note - November 2020 Note

On November 10, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note with a two-year term to an institutional accredited investor in the initial principal amount of $28.5 million (the “November 2020 Note”). The Company received consideration of $25.0 million, reflecting an original issue discount of $3.4 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million.

Interest accrued at an annual rate of 10% on the outstanding balance, with the outstanding balance convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and volume and ownership limitations specified in the November 2020 Note. The November 2020 Note was secured by all the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.

In addition, the Company was obligated to make monthly payments to reduce the outstanding balance of the note. During the year ended May 31, 2021 and subsequent to the issuance of the November 2020 Note, the Company and the institutional investor entered into separately negotiated agreements whereby portions of the November 2020 Note were partitioned into new notes, and the November 2020 Note was reduced by the balance of the new notes. The new notes were exchanged concurrently with issuance for shares of the Company’s common stock. Refer to Note 5, Convertible Instruments, in the 2021 Form 10-K for additional discussion.

On June 11, 2021, June 21, 2021, and June 30, 2021, in partial satisfaction of the June 2021 debt redemption amount on the November 2020 Note, the Company and the investor entered into separately negotiated exchange agreements, pursuant to which the November 2020 Note was partitioned into new notes (the “June 2021 Partitioned Notes”) with a principal balance of $6.0 million.

Long-term Convertible Note - April 2, 2021 Note

On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note with a two-year term with the holder of the November 2020 Note in the initial principal amount of $28.5 million (the “April 2, 2021 Note”). The Company received consideration of $25.0 million, reflecting an original issue discount of $3.4 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million.

Interest accrues at an annual rate of 10% on the outstanding balance, with the rate increasing to the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law upon occurrence of an event of default. In addition, upon any event of default, the investor may accelerate the outstanding balance payable under the April 2, 2021 Note; upon such acceleration, the outstanding balance will increase automatically by 15%, 10% or 5%, depending on the nature of the event of default. The events of default are listed in Section 4 of the April 2, 2021 Note filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 8, 2021 and incorporated by reference. The April 2, 2021 Note is secured by all the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement and the April 2, 2021 Note, the Company must obtain the investor’s consent before assuming additional debt with aggregate net proceeds to the Company of less than $50.0 million. In the event of any such approval, the outstanding principal balance of the April 2, 2021 Note will increase automatically by 5% upon the issuance of such additional debt.

The investor may convert all or any part the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 note into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and volume and ownership limitations. In addition to standard anti-dilution adjustments, the conversion price of the April 2, 2021 Note is subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price will be automatically reduced to equal the effective price per share in any new offering by the Company of equity securities that have registration rights, are registered or become registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The April 2, 2021 Note provides for liquidated damages upon failure to deliver common stock within specified timeframes and requires the Company to maintain a share reservation of 6.0 million shares of common stock. The investor may redeem any portion of the note, at any time beginning six months after the issue date upon three trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $3.5 million. The April 2, 2021 Note requires the

17

Table of Contents

Company to satisfy its redemption obligations in cash within three trading days of the Company’s receipt of such notice. The Company may prepay the outstanding balance of the note, in part or in full, plus a 15% premium, at any time upon 15 trading days’ notice.

In addition, beginning in May 2021 and for each of the following five months, the Company was obligated through end of November 2021, at discretion of the noteholder, to reduce the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note by $7.5 million per month. Payments under the November 2020 Note and the April 23, 2021 Note, described below, could be applied toward the payment of each monthly debt reduction amount. These payments are not subject to the 15% prepayment premium, which would otherwise be triggered if the Company were to make payments against such notes exceeding the allowed maximum monthly redemption amount.

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-258944) with the SEC on August 19, 2021, which was declared effective on October 6, 2021, registering a number of shares of common stock sufficient to convert the entire principal balance of the April 2, 2021 Note and the April 23, 2021 Note (described below).

The conversion feature of the April 2, 2021 Note was analyzed under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine if it achieved equity classification or required bifurcation as a derivative instrument. The embedded conversion feature was considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and met the conditions for equity classification. Accordingly, the embedded conversion feature did not require bifurcation from the host instrument. The Company determined there was no beneficial conversion feature since the effective conversion rate was greater than the market value of the Company’s common stock upon issuance. Certain default put provisions were considered not to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument, but the Company concluded that the value of these default put provisions was de minimis. The Company evaluates the value of the default put provisions each reporting period to determine if the value becomes material to the financial statements.

In September 2021, the Company and the holder of the April 2, 2021 Note agreed to defer the $7.5 million September 2021 debt redemption amount.

On October 5, 2021 and October 21, 2021, in partial satisfaction of the October 2021 debt reduction amount, the Company and the April 2, 2021 Note holder entered into exchange agreements, pursuant to which the April 2, 2021 Note was partitioned into new notes (the “October 2021 Partitioned Notes”) with a principal amount of $5.0 million. The Company and the holder of the April 2, 2021 Note agreed to defer the remaining October 2021 debt redemption amount of $2.5 million. The outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note was reduced by the October 2021 Partitioned Notes. The Company and the investor exchanged the October 2021 Partitioned Notes for approximately 3.9 million shares of common stock.

On November 2, 2021 and November 16, 2021, in partial satisfaction of the outstanding principal amount, the Company and the April 2, 2021 note holder entered into exchange agreements, pursuant to which the April 2, 2021 Note was partitioned into new notes (the “November 2021 Partitioned Notes”) with a principal amount of $4.0 million. The Company and the investor exchanged the November 2021 Partitioned Notes for approximately 4.2 million shares of common stock.

The Company and the investor exchanged the December 2021 Partitioned Notes for approximately 4.8 million shares of common stock.

On January 19, 2022, in partial satisfaction of the outstanding principal amount, the Company and the April 2, 2021 Note holder entered into an exchange agreement, pursuant to which the April 2, 2021 Note was partitioned into a new note (the “January 2022 Partitioned Note”) with a principal amount of $2.5 million.

The events of default are listed in Section 4 of the April 23, 2021 Note filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 29, 2021 and incorporated by reference.

The investor may convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and volume and ownership limitations specified in the April 23, 2021 Note. In addition to standard anti-dilution adjustments, the conversion price of the April 23, 2021 Note is subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price will be automatically reduced to equal the effective price per share in any new offering by the Company of equity securities that have registration rights, are registered or become registered under the Securities Act.

The April 23, 2021 Note requires the Company to satisfy its redemption obligations in cash within three trading days of the Company’s receipt of such notice.

Amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs associated with the April 23, 2021 Note during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 was $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. As of February 28, 2022, the unamortized discount and issuance costs balance was $2.0 million; the accrued interest balance was $2.6 million, which included $2.3 million of interest expense for the nine months ended February 28, 2022.

The conversion feature in the April 23, 2021 Note was analyzed under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine if it achieved equity classification or required bifurcation as a derivative instrument. The embedded conversion feature was considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and met the conditions for equity classification. Accordingly, the embedded conversion feature does not require bifurcation from the host instrument. The Company determined there was no beneficial conversion feature since the effective conversion rate was greater than the market value of the Company’s common stock upon issuance. Certain default put provisions were not considered to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument, but the Company concluded that the value of these default put provisions was de minimis. The Company evaluates the value of the default put provisions each reporting period to determine if the value becomes material to the financial statements.

The holders of the April 2 and April 23 Notes have waived provisions in the notes that would have resulted in the imposition of a default interest rate, a downward adjustment in the conversion price, or any other default, breach or imposition of a penalty.

The noteholders also waived similar rights relating to the issuances of approximately 13 million shares of common stock and shares underlying warrants to investors between February and March 2022, in private placements conducted by the Company.

Together with the common stock offering through a placement agent described below, in which the Company issued 11.4 million shares of common stock, the Company issued 34.9 million shares of common stock in the nine months ended February 28, 2022.

In connection with these purchases, the Company modified agreements related to issuances in the previous private placement, effectively lowering the purchase price of common shares, lowering the exercise price of the underlying warrants, and increasing the warrant coverage on the common stock purchased, resulting in the issuance of an additional 1.2 million shares of common stock and 0.6 million warrants with exercise prices of $0.45 to $1.00. As the result of these modifications, the Company recorded inducement interest expense of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended February 28, 2022.

The Company recognized $14 thousand in stock-based compensation related to this award in the three months ended February 28, 2022.

Private Placement of Warrants under Surety Bond Backstop Agreement

On February 14, 2022, the Company entered into a Surety Bond Backstop Agreement (the “Backstop Agreement”) with an accredited investor in his individual capacity and as trustee of a revocable trust as well as certain other related parties (collectively, the “Indemnitors”). Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, the Indemnitors agreed to assist the Company in obtaining a surety bond (the “Surety Bond”) for posting in connection with the Company’s ongoing litigation with Amarex Clinical Research, LLC ("Amarex”), by, among other things, agreeing to indemnify the issuer of the Surety Bond with respect to the Company’s obligations under the Surety Bond. Under the Backstop Agreement, as consideration for the Company’s indemnity of the Surety Bond, the Company agreed to issue a warrant for the purchase of 15.0 million shares of common stock as a backstop fee (the “Initial Warrant”), and to issue an additional warrant for the purchase of 15.0 million shares of common stock, with the additional warrant to be exercised only if the Indemnitors are required to make any payment to the issuer of the Surety Bond as a result of their indemnification (the “Make-Whole Warrant”). If the Indemnitors are required to make any such payment within 90 days of the payment by the Indemnitors, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Indemnitors for any amount paid by them to the issuer of the Surety Bond and to pay to the Indemnitors an indemnification fee in an amount equal to 1.5 times the amount paid by the Indemnitors to the issuer of the Surety Bond. The Initial Warrant has a five-year term. The Make-Whole Warrant is exercisable, if at all, beginning on the date that payment by the Indemnitors to the issuer of the Surety Bond is required (the “Commencement Date”) and ending on the later of (i) five years following the date of issuance of the Make- Whole Warrant and (ii) five years following the Commencement Date if such date occurs within two years following issuance of both warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.30 per share. The payment obligations of the Company to the Indemnitors under the Backstop Agreement bear interest at 10% per annum and are secured by a security interest granted by the Company to the Indemnitors on substantially all of the patents of the Company. For further description of the Backstop Agreement, refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 17, 2022. The Company recognized approximately a $6.6 million finance charge related to the warrant issuance for the three months ended February 28, 2022.

Note 8. Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted for preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes the weighted average common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share.

The table below shows the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise, vesting or conversion of outstanding options, warrants, unvested restricted stock units (including those subject to performance conditions), convertible notes, and convertible preferred stock (including undeclared dividends) that were not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented:

Note 9. Income Taxes

The Company calculates its quarterly taxes under the effective tax rate method based on applying an anticipated annual effective rate to its year-to-date income, except for discrete items. Income taxes for discrete items are computed and recorded in the period that the specific transaction occurs.

The Company’s net tax expense for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, was zero. The Company’s effective tax rate of 0% differed from the statutory rate of 21% because the Company has a full valuation allowance as of February 28, 2022 and May 31, 2021, because management does not consider it more likely than not that the benefits from the net deferred taxes will be realized.

Commitments with Samsung BioLogics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”)

In April 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Samsung, pursuant to which Samsung will perform technology transfer, process validation, manufacturing, and supply services for the commercial supply of leronlimab effective through calendar year 2027. In 2020, the Company entered into an additional agreement, pursuant to which Samsung will perform technology transfer, process validation, vial filling and storage services for clinical, pre-approval inspection, and commercial supply of leronlimab. Samsung is obligated to procure necessary raw materials for the Company and manufacture a specified minimum number of batches, and the Company is required to provide a rolling three-year forecast of future estimated manufacturing requirements to Samsung that are binding.

On January 6, 2022, Samsung provided written notice to the Company alleging that the Company had materially breached the parties’ Master Services and Project Specific Agreements for failure to pay $13.5 million due on December 31, 2021. An additional $22.8 million became due under the agreements on January 31, 2022, and was included in accounts payable as of February 28, 2022. The Company has notified Samsung that it believes a material breach will not be deemed to have occurred under the terms of the agreements until July 1, 2022. Under the agreements, the Company has 45 days to make commercially reasonable efforts to commence curing a material breach and, if such steps have not been taken during the cure period, Samsung is entitled to terminate the agreements upon an additional 45 days’ notice. Management is in ongoing discussions with Samsung regarding potential approaches to resolve these issues, including proposals by both parties of a revised schedule of payments over an extended period of time, and proposals by the Company of satisfaction of a portion of the Company’s payment obligations in equity securities of the Company and postponing or cancelling the manufacturing of additional drug product provided for in the agreements. As of February 28, 2022, the Company had past due balances of approximately $38.1 million due to Samsung which were included in accounts payable as of February 28, 2022.

As of February 28, 2022, the future commitments pursuant to these agreements were estimated as follows:

Commitments with Contract Research Organization (“CRO”)

The Company continues to maintain agreements with its CRO and related laboratory vendors to perform project work for each of the clinical trials. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company prepaid execution fees for direct services costs, which are recorded as a current asset. In the event the Company were to terminate any trial, it may incur certain financial penalties that would become payable to the CRO. Conditioned upon the form of termination of any one

trial, the financial penalties may range up to $0.2 million. In the remote circumstance that the Company would terminate all clinical trials, the collective financial penalties may range from a low of approximately $20.0 thousand to an approximate high of $0.6 million.

Distribution and Licensing

Refer to Note 9, License Agreements, of the 2021 Form 10-K for further information.

The Company has two license agreements, the fees for which are payable annually in December, with a third-party licensor covering the licensor’s “system know-how” technology with respect to the Company’s use of proprietary cell lines to manufacture new leronlimab material. As of February 28, 2022, the Company accrued $0.4 million related to the arrangements. As of May 31, 2021 the Company recorded a prepaid asset of $0.1 million related to this agreement.

In December 2019, the Company entered into Commercialization and License Agreement, and Supply Agreement (together the “License Agreements”) with Vyera Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Vyera”) under which the Company granted Vyera an exclusive royalty-bearing license to commercialize pharmaceutical preparations containing leronlimab for treatment of HIV in the United States. The License Agreements gave Vyera the right to assign its rights and obligations under the Licence Agreements to an affiliate of Vyera. In October 2020, Vyera assigned the License Agreements to SevenScore Pharmaceuticals, which in turn, in December 2021, assigned them to Regnum Corp. Vyera, SevenScore and Regnum are each controlled by their parent Phoenixus AG.

The License Agreements, as assigned, provide that, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Regnum will, at its cost, use commercially reasonable efforts to commercialize leronlimab for treatment of HIV in the United States. The Company retained the right to license leronlimab for uses in the United States for purposes other than the treatment of HIV and for any purposes outside the United States. The License Agreements obligate Regnum to pay the Company up to $87.0 million upon the achievement of certain sales and regulatory milestones. Certain milestones are subject to reduction if not achieved within an agreed-upon timeframe. Regnum may also pay the Company additional potential milestone payments upon the regulatory approval of leronlimab for certain subsequent indications in the field. Whether a particular subsequent indication qualifies for an additional milestone payment will be determined in good faith by the parties at the time such an event occurs. In addition, during the Royalty Term, as defined in the License Agreements, but, in any event, a period of not less than 10 years following the first commercial sale under the License Agreements, Regnum is obligated to pay the Company a royalty equal to 50% of Regnum’s gross profit margin from product sales. The royalty is subject to reduction during the Royalty Term after patent expiry and expiry of regulatory exclusivity. Following expiration of the Royalty Term, Regnum has non-exclusive rights to commercialize the product. Regnum has the right to terminate the License Agreements (i) upon written notice to the Company on or after December 19, 2021 and prior to the Company’s receipt of approval from the FDA of the BLA for the manufacture and sale of leronlimab for HIV, (ii) if Regnum fails to achieve certain aggregate Net Sales (as defined in the License Agreements) of leronlimab during the period beginning on the date of first commercial sale and ending on the date that is two years from the date of the first commercial sale, and (iii) with 180 days’ prior written notice, at Regnum’s convenience following the second anniversary of the first commercial sale of leronlimab.

On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Biomm S.A., a Brazilian pharmaceutical company, granting the exclusive right to distribute and sell leronlimab in Brazil upon Brazilian regulatory approval.

On April 15, 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Chiral Pharma Corporation, a Philippine pharmaceutical company, granting the exclusive right to distribute and sell up to 200,000 vials of leronlimab during the 12 months ending April 15, 2022, to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients in the Philippines under CSP or Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) from the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines.

On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Macleods Pharmaceuticals Ltd., an Indian pharmaceutical company, granting the exclusive right to distribute and sell up to 200,000 vials of leronlimab in calendar year 2021 in India to treat COVID-19 patients under a CSP or EUA from the India Central Drugs Standard Control Organization.

As further described in Item I, Business of the 2021 Form 10-K, under the Progenics Purchase Agreement, we are required to pay Progenics the following ongoing milestone payments and royalties: (i) $5.0 million at the time of the first U.S. new drug application approval by the FDA or other non-U.S. approval for the sale of leronlimab (PRO 140); and (ii) royalty payments of up to five percent (5%) on net sales during the period beginning on the date of the first commercial sale of leronlimab (PRO 140) until the later of (a) the expiration of the last to expire patent included in the acquired assets, and (b) 10 years, in each case determined on a country-by country basis. In addition, under a Development and License Agreement dated April 30, 1999 (the “PDL License”), between Protein Design Labs (now AbbVie Inc.) and Progenics, which was previously assigned to us, we are required to pay AbbVie Inc. additional milestone payments and royalties as follows: (i) $0.5 million upon filing a BLA with the FDA or non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body; (ii) $0.5 million upon FDA approval or approval by another non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body; and (iii) royalties of up to 3.5% of net sales for the longer of 10 years and the date of expiration of the last to expire licensed patent. Additionally, the PDL License provides for an annual maintenance fee of $150,000 until royalties paid exceed that amount.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings. The Company recognizes accruals for such proceedings to the extent a loss is determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The best estimate of a loss within a possible range is accrued; however, if no estimate in the range is more probable than another, then the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If it is determined that a material loss is not probable but reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the possible loss is disclosed. It is not possible to determine the outcome of proceedings that have not been concluded, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Company, as the outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and the outcomes could differ significantly from recognized accruals. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a recognized accrual or if an accrual had not been made, could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Refer to Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, Legal Proceedings, of the 2021 Form 10-K for further information. As of February 28, 2022, the Company did not record any legal accruals related to the outcomes of the matters described below.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act

On September 10, 2020, certain stockholders of the Company filed a derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against then CEO Nader Z. Pourhassan, Ph.D. The plaintiffs claimed that certain of Dr. Pourhassan’s transactions in the Company’s common stock violated Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company was only a nominal defendant in the action, and the plaintiffs sought no relief against the Company. On March 12, 2021, the district court granted Dr. Pourhassan’s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ complaint with prejudice. The plaintiffs timely appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On April 8, 2022, the Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s ruling.

Pestell Employment Dispute

On August 22, 2019, Dr. Richard Pestell filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Pestell v. CytoDyn Inc., et al.), against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, and its Chairman of the Board, alleging breach of his employment agreement with the Company, failure to pay wages, and defamation, among other claims. The Company has asserted counterclaims alleging Dr. Pestell’s breach of a Confidential Information, Inventions and Noncompetition Agreement. In November 2020, the Court dismissed Dr. Pestell’s wage claims and his claims against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board. On March 18, 2022, the Court entered summary judgment in favor of the Company on Dr. Pestell’s defamation claim and deferred for trial the Company’s counterclaims and the issue of whether Dr. Pestell is entitled to additional damages for his alleged inability to liquidate shares under a restricted stock agreement. Dr. Pestell has moved for a continuation of the trial date. The new trial date is set for June 2022. Dr. Pestell is seeking approximately $3.2 million in damages for breach of the Employment Agreement; the release of 8.3 million shares issued to Dr. Pestell in connection with the Company’s 2018 acquisition of

26

Table of Contents

ProstaGene LLC (of which Dr. Pestell was a controlling owner) which are currently held in escrow; and approximately $31.3 million in additional damages as described above. The Company disputes all of Dr. Pestell’s claims and intends to vigorously defend the action and assert its counterclaims. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the action and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, that the Company may incur.

Securities Class Action Lawsuit

On March 17, 2021, a stockholder filed a putative class-action lawsuit (the “March 17, 2021 lawsuit”) in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against the Company and certain current and former officers. The complaint generally alleges the defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the viability of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19. On April 9, 2021, a second stockholder filed a similar putative class action lawsuit in the same court, which the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on July 23, 2021. On August 9, 2021, the court appointed lead plaintiffs for the March 17, 2021 lawsuit. On December 21, 2021, lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which is brought on behalf of an alleged class of those who purchased the Company’s common stock between March 27, 2020 and May 17, 2021. The amended complaint generally alleges that the Company and certain current and former officers violated Sections 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making purportedly false or misleading statements concerning, among other things, the safety and efficacy of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19, the Company’s CD10 and CD12 clinical trials, and its HIV BLA. The amended complaint also alleges that the individual defendants violated Section 20A of the Exchange Act by selling shares of the Company’s common stock purportedly while in possession of material nonpublic information. The amended complaint seeks, among other relief, a ruling that the case may proceed as a class action and unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On February 25, 2022, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Company and the individual defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the matter. Since this case is in an early stage where the number of plaintiffs is not known, and the claims do not specify an amount of damages, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss the Company may incur.

2021 Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits

On June 4, 2021, a stockholder filed a purported derivative lawsuit against certain of the Company’s current and former officers, certain current and former Board members, and the Company as a nominal defendant, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Two additional shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed against the same defendants in the same court on June 25, 2021 and August 18, 2021, respectively. The court has consolidated these three lawsuits for all purposes (“Consolidated Derivative Suit”). On January 20, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint. The consolidated complaint generally alleges that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing the Company to make false and misleading statements regarding, among other things, the safety and efficacy of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19, the Company’s CD10 and CD12 clinical trials, and its HIV BLA, and by failing to maintain an adequate system of oversight and controls. The consolidated complaint also asserts claims against one or more individual defendants for waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, contribution for alleged violations of the federal securities laws, and for breach of fiduciary duty arising from alleged insider trading. The consolidated complaint seeks declaratory and equitable relief, an unspecified amount of damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company and the individual defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing in the complaints and intend to vigorously defend the litigation. In light of the fact that the Consolidated Derivative Suit is in an early stage and the claims do not specify an amount of damages, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the Consolidated Derivative Suit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss the Company may incur.

Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice Investigations

The Company has received subpoenas from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) requesting documents and information concerning, among other matters, leronlimab, the Company’s public statements regarding the use of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19, HIV, and triple-negative breast cancer, related communications with the FDA, investors, and others, litigation involving former employees, the Company’s retention of investor relations consultants, and trading in the

27

Table of Contents

Company’s securities. Certain Company executives have received subpoenas concerning similar issues and may be interviewed by the DOJ or SEC in the future. The SEC informed the Company that its inquiry should not be construed as an indication that any violations of law have occurred or that the SEC has any negative opinion of any person, entity or security.

The Company is cooperating fully with these non-public, fact-finding investigations, and as of the date of this filing, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome and cannot reasonably estimate the potential possible loss or range of loss, if any.

Amarex Dispute

On October 4, 2021, the Company filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief and a motion for a preliminary injunction against NSF International, Inc. and its subsidiary Amarex Clinical Research LLC (“Amarex”), the Company’s former CRO. Over the past eight years, Amarex provided clinical trial management services to the Company and managed numerous clinical studies of the Company’s drug product candidate, leronlimab. On December 16, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland issued a preliminary injunction requiring Amarex to provide the Company with access to all of its materials in the possession of Amarex. The court also granted CytoDyn the right to conduct an audit of Amarex’s work for CytoDyn.

The Company simultaneously filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration demand alleges that Amarex failed to perform services to an acceptable professional standard and failed to perform certain services required by the parties’ agreements. Further, the demand alleges that Amarex billed the Company for services it did not perform. The Company contends that, due to Amarex’s failures, it has suffered avoidable delays in obtaining regulatory approval of leronlimab and has paid for services not performed. In light of the fact that this dispute is in an early stage, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss that the Company may incur.

Note 11. Related Party Transactions

The Board’s Audit Committee, composed of independent directors, or the full Board, reviews and approves all related party transactions. The terms and amounts described below are not necessarily indicative of the terms and amounts that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.

On September 23, 2021, Jordan G. Naydenov, a member of the Board, entered into a private warrant exchange in which he exercised warrants to purchase approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock, as well as approximately 0.6 million additional shares that were offered as an inducement to exercise his warrants, for a total of approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock. The terms and conditions of the investment totaling $0.7 million made by Mr. Naydenov were identical to those offered to other investors.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

On March 18, 2022, the Company issued to an accredited investor in a private placement a total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock, together with warrants to purchase a total of 1,250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The warrants have a five-year term and are immediately exercisable. The securities were issued with a combined purchase price of $0.40 per fixed combination of one share of common stock and one-half of one warrant to purchase one share of common stock for total proceeds of $1.0 million. In connection with this purchase, the Company modified agreements related to previous issuances effectively lowering the purchase price of common shares, lowering the exercise price of the underlying warrants, and increasing the warrant coverage on the common stock purchased, resulting in the issuance of an additional approximate 1.1 million shares of common stock and 0.4 million warrants.

On March 25, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the continued appointment of the individuals currently on the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board (the “SAB”) and appointed four new individuals to the SAB. In consideration for their service, each SAB member is awarded an annual grant of options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock. The stock options generally vest over three years and have a ten-year term. Effective February 24, 2022, nonqualified stock

28

Table of Contents

options were granted to the SAB members exercisable for a total of 645,000 shares of common stock and vesting in installments through May 31, 2023.

On March 27, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the appointment of Karen J. Brunke, Ph.D., as a director of the Company, subject to satisfactory completion of a background check. Her appointment was effective on March 30, 2022. The Board also appointed Dr. Brunke to the Board’s Compensation Committee and Audit Committee.

On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that the FDA placed a full clinical hold on its COVID-19 program and a partial clinical hold on its HIV program in the United States. The Company previously had notified FDA that it was pausing its COVID-19 trials in Brazil. Under the partial clinical hold on the Company’s HIV program, no clinical studies may be initiated or resumed until the partial clinical hold has been resolved. As a result of the partial clinical hold on the HIV program, patients currently enrolled in the extension trials will be transitioned to other available therapeutics. Under the full clinical hold on the COVID-19 program, no new clinical studies may be initiated until the clinical hold is resolved.

In early April 2022, the Company commenced an offering of up to 61.3 million units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and three-quarters of a warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The offering is being conducted in a private placement through a placement agent in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder. The securities being offered will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The intended use of proceeds is to fund operations and for general corporate purposes, including the reduction of indebtedness.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Refer to information previously reported under Part I, Item 1 of the 2021 Form 10-K.

Certain information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, or incorporates by reference, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “hope,” “expect,” “intend,” “predict,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” and similar terms and expressions, or the use of future tense, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, statements about leronlimab, its ability to have positive health outcomes, the Company’s ability to resolve the clinical holds recently imposed by the FDA, and information regarding future operations, future capital expenditures and future net cash flows. Such statements reflect current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, (i) the regulatory determinations of leronlimab’s safety and effectiveness by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and various drug regulatory agencies in other countries; (ii) the Company’s ability to raise additional capital to fund its operations; (iii) the Company’s ability to meet its debt and other payment obligations; (iv) the Company’s ability to enter into or maintain partnership or licensing arrangements with third-parties; (v) the Company’s ability to recruit a permanent CEO and retain other key employees; (vi) the timely and sufficient development, through internal resources or third-party consultants, of analyses of the data generated from the Company’s clinical trials required by the FDA or other regulatory agencies in connection with the Company’s BLA resubmission or other applications for approval of the Company’s drug product, (vii) the Company’s ability to achieve approval of a marketable product; (viii) the design, implementation and conduct of the Company’s clinical trials; (ix) the results of the Company’s clinical trials, including the possibility of unfavorable clinical trial results; (x) the market for, and marketability of, any product that is approved; (xi) the existence or development of vaccines, drugs, or other treatments that are viewed by medical professionals or patients as superior to the Company’s products; (xii) regulatory initiatives, compliance with governmental regulations and the regulatory approval process; (xiii) legal proceedings, investigations or inquiries affecting the Company or its products; (xiv) general economic and business conditions; (xv) changes in foreign, political, and social conditions; (xvi) stockholder actions or proposals with regard to the Company, its management, or its Board of Directors; and (xvii) various other matters, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated, or otherwise indicated. Consequently, the forward-looking statements made in this filing are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance of the actual results or developments. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, see “Risk Factors” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”), as well as those risks and uncertainties identified in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the 2021 Form 10-K and the other sections of this Form 10-Q, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes set forth in Part I, Item 1. This discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements, including information about possible or assumed results of our financial condition, operations, plans, objectives and performance that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated and set forth in such forward-looking statements.

Overview

The Company is a late-stage biotechnology company focused on the clinical development and potential commercialization of its product candidate, leronlimab (PRO 140), which is being studied for the treatment of HIV infection, and other therapeutic indications including oncology and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). Our current business strategy is to seek the removal of the partial and full clinical holds recently imposed by the US FDA, continue the resubmission process for our Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for leronlimab as a combination therapy for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients , and to seek to further develop leronlimab for other HIV-related indications. We also seek to advance our clinical development of leronlimab for various forms of cancer, including metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (“mTNBC”) and other solid tumors as well as plan to continue to evaluate NAFLD and NASH, and concurrently explore other potential immunologic indications for leronlimab.

Table of Contents

The target of leronlimab is the immunologic receptor CCR5. The CCR5 receptor is a protein located on the surface of white blood cells that serves as a receptor for chemical attractants called chemokines. The CCR5 receptor may also be present on cells that undergo malignant transformation and may also be present in the tumor microenvironment. Chemokines are the key orchestrators of leukocyte trafficking by attracting immune cells to the sites of inflammation. At the site of an inflammatory reaction, chemokines are released. These chemokines are specific for CCR5 and cause the migration of cells to these sites, promoting further inflammation. The Company believes the mechanism of action of leronlimab has the potential to decrease the movement of cells to inflammatory sites, which could be instrumental in diminishing or eliminating inflammatory responses. Some disease processes that could possibly benefit from CCR5 blockade include transplantation rejection, autoimmunity, and chronic inflammation.

As further discussed in Part I, Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Inventories, Note 3, Inventories, net, and Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, the Company capitalized procured or produced pre-launch inventories in preparation for product launches sufficient to support estimated initial market demand. The Company considers anticipated future sales, shelf-lives, and expected approval date when evaluating realizability of pre-launch inventories. The shelf-life of a product is determined as part of the regulatory approval process; however, in assessing whether to capitalize pre-launch inventory, the Company considers the stability data of all inventories. As inventories approach their shelf-life expiration, the Company may perform additional stability testing to determine if the inventory is still viable, which can result in an extension of its shelf-life. Further, in addition to performing additional stability testing, certain raw materials inventory may be sold in its then current condition prior to reaching expiration. The Company also considers potential delays associated with regulatory approval in determining whether pre-approval inventory remains salable. Although we believe our product will receive market acceptance, the introduction of a competing product could negatively impact the demand for our product and affect the realizability of our inventories. In addition, if physicians are unwilling or unable to prescribe leronlimab to their patients, or the target patient population was reluctant to try leronlimab as a new therapy, the salability of our pre-launch inventory would be adversely affected.

Third Quarter Overview

COVID-19 Clinical Developments

In March 2022, the United States FDA notified the Company it had placed a full clinical hold on its COVID-19 program. The Company was not conducting any COVID-19 trials in the United States at the time the hold was placed, and elected to withdraw the respective IND. The Company will need to resolve the clinical hold and submit another IND to initiate any future COVID-19 trials in the United States. Further, the Company had elected to pause its Brazil COVID-19 trials pending results from its previously scheduled data safety monitoring board (“DSMB”) meeting in early April 2022.

In April 2022, the DSMB for the Brazilian COVID-19 clinical trials met and recommended that the Brazilian COVID-19 trials, previously paused by the Company, may continue based on the review of the interim patient safety data from the clinical trials. The Company is in the process of providing this information to ANVISA for their subsequent review of the information prior to commencing the enrollment of new patients in the Brazilian trials.

For business updates related to previous periods refer to Part I, Item 2 of the Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30, 2021.

HIV BLA & Clinical Developments

The remaining BLA section to be completed and submitted remains in progress as of the date of this filing. The Company is in a dispute with its former contract research organization (“CRO”), and the Company obtained an order requiring the CRO to release the Company’s clinical data related to the BLA, which the CRO had been withholding. Further, the order granted the Company the right to perform an audit of the CRO’s services. Additionally, the FDA recently placed the HIV program on a partial clinical hold, which may affect the ability to resubmit the BLA. As of March 2022, the FDA had commenced their review of the CMC section. The Company is in the process of evaluating the data, results of the audit, and implications of the partial clinical hold. The Company will update the status of its anticipated resubmission of the clinical section of the BLA once it completes its evaluation.

In March 2022, the United States FDA notified the Company it had place a partial clinical hold on its HIV programs. The Company was not enrolling any new patients in the trials placed on hold. The partial clinical hold on the HIV program impacts patients currently enrolled in HIV extension trials. The impacted patients will be transitioned to other available therapeutics. No clinical studies can be initiated or resumed until the partial clinical hold is resolved. The Company intends to work with the FDA to resolve the partial clinical hold as soon as possible.

Cancer Clinical Developments

During 2021, the Company stopped and reported results from metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (“mTNBC”) patients who had failed at least two lines of previous therapy in the Compassionate Use program, our Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, and our Basket trial. The data were insufficient to support resubmission of a Breakthrough Therapy designation request without additional data. The Company is identifying the next steps in clinical development and potential business opportunities to continue the development of this indication, including potentially facilitating research in leronlimab’s role in oncology at various academic institutions.

For business updates related to previous periods refer to Part I, Item 2 of the Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30, 2021.

NASH Clinical Developments

The Company is in the process of completing its final analysis of the data from its Phase 2 NASH trial and plans to release the updated and final results in the near future. There is currently no approved drug for NASH, and liver disease is one of the leading causes of non-AIDS-related death in HIV patients. The Company is identifying the next steps in clinical development and is exploring potential business opportunities to continue the investigation of leronlimab in the NASH indication.

For business updates related to previous periods refer to Part I, Item 2 of the Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30, 2021.

Corporate Developments

On January 24, 2022, the Board of Directors terminated the employment of Nader Z. Pourhassan, Ph.D., as President and CEO of the Company and he is no longer a member of the Board of Directors. A committee of three Board members has been appointed to initiate the search for a new permanent CEO, with a focus on identifying a candidate possessing the requisite pharmaceutical industry experience to enhance the Company’s efforts to achieve regulatory approval and commercialization of leronlimab. Antonio Migliarese, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, was also appointed interim President.

During February 2022, the Board approved the continued appointments to the Scientific Advisory Board (“SAB”) of Dr. Hope Rugo (oncology), Dr. Mazen Noureddin (hepatology), Dr. Jonah Sacha (HIV), Dr. Norman Gaylis (rheumatology), and Dr. Eric Mininberg (oncology), as well as new SAB members Dr. Otto Yang (infectious diseases/immunology), Dr. Kabir Mody (oncology), and Dr. Paul Edison (neuroscience/neuroinflammation).

On March 27, 2022, the Board of Directors appointed Karen J. Brunke, Ph.D., as a director of the Company. Dr. Brunke has over 30 years of scientific, operational, clinical, senior executive, and corporate development managerial experience with large and small biotechnology companies.

Results of Operations

The Company’s operating results may fluctuate significantly depending on the outcomes of clinical trials, patient enrollment and/or completion rates in various trials, entering into new or potential amendments to existing clinical trial protocols, and their related effect on research and development expenses, regulatory and compliance activities, activities related to resubmission and preparation of our HIV BLA, general and administrative expenses, professional fees, and legal proceedings and the related outcomes. Additionally, our operating results are significantly affected by manufacturing activities, specifically by the timing of product manufacturing activities, as well as estimates related to shelf lives of pre-launch inventories, and reclassification of inventory from pre-launch to clinical use.

We also require a significant amount of additional capital and our ability to continue to fund operations will continue to depend on our ability to raise such capital. The type of agreements we utilize to raise capital may create various forms of expense such as non-cash interest expense, inducement expense, or expense related to amortization of issuance costs. Further, we negotiate settlement of debt payment obligations in exchange for equity securities of the Company, which may create a non-cash charge upon extinguishment of debt.

Refer to Risk Factors previously reported under Part 1, Item 1A of the 2021 Form 10-K, to Going Concern section below and to Part II, Item 1A of this report.

Product revenue

For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we recognized revenue of approximately $0.3 million; none in the three months ended February 28, 2022 and the three and nine months of the comparable periods of fiscal 2021. Revenue was related to the fulfillment of orders under a Compassionate Special Permit (“CSP”) in the Philippines for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. As discussed in the previous filings, sales were made under the April 2021 exclusive supply and distribution agreement granting Chiral the right to distribute and sell up to 200,000 vials of leronlimab through April 15, 2022.

For additional information about the revenue recognition policy, refer to Item 1, Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Revenue Recognition, of this Form 10-Q.

Cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and Gross margin

For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we recognized cost of goods sold of approximately $53.0 thousand; none in the three months ended February 28, 2022. We did not have revenue or associated costs in the comparable periods of 2021. At the time of the sales, FDA approval had not yet been received for leronlimab and the product sold was previously expensed as research and development expense due to its being manufactured prior to the commencement of the manufacturing of commercial grade pre-launch inventories. Therefore, COGS consists only of the costs of packaging and shipping of the vials, including related customs and duties. When product manufactured prior to the manufacturing of pre-launch inventories is fully depleted and commercial grade pre-launch inventories for which manufacturing costs have been capitalized are sold, it is expected that COGS will significantly increase and gross margin will significantly decrease.

For additional information about the inventories policies, refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Inventories, of the 2021 Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q.

G&A expenses increased approximately $2.2 million, or 28%, for the three months ended February 28, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by increased other compensation, legal fees, and other. The increase in other compensation was related to the accrual of expenses related to severance due to the Company’s former CEO, which was partially settled in stock in March 2022. Refer to the further discussion regarding the separation of the former CEO provided in Item 1, Note 7, Equity Awards and Warrants, Former CEO Severance in Common Stock, of this Form 10-Q. The increase in legal fees was primarily related to legal fees associated with the SEC and DOJ investigations, the Pestell employment dispute, and the Amarex dispute. The decrease in stock-based compensation was primarily related to the forfeiture of unvested equity grants of the former CEO upon separation. Additionally, the increase in other G&A expense was primarily due to increased insurance premiums and outsourced consulting and recruiting services.

G&A expenses increased approximately $8.6 million, or 34%, for the nine months ended February 28, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by increased legal fees and other G&A expense, which were partially offset by decreased employee-related costs. The increase in legal fees was primarily

34

related to the proxy contest and related lawsuits, SEC and DOJ investigations, the Pestell employment dispute, and the Amarex dispute. The increase in other was primarily due to increased insurance premiums, costs associated with the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, and outsourced consulting and recruiting services. The reduction in salaries, benefits and other compensation was attributable to a reduction in bonuses and the reclassification of previously accrued incentive compensation to stock-based compensation due to the compensation being issued in stock, offset by an increase in severance costs related to the termination of employees and salaries and benefits. The decrease in stock-based compensation was primarily related to the forfeiture of unvested equity grants of the former CEO upon separation, partially offset by the issuance of common stock for bonus compensation instead of cash.

For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, R&D expenditures were primarily devoted to: (1) COVID-19 clinical trials, (2) HIV extension studies which continue to provide leronlimab to patients who have previously successfully completed a trial, (3) NASH clinical trial, (4) HIV BLA resubmission , (5) clinical trials for oncology and other immunology indications, and (6) CMC activities related to clinical and commercialization inventories, including expenses associated with inventory related charges.

For the three months ended February 28, 2022, R&D expenses decreased approximately $3.2 million, or 26%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to decreased clinical expenses, offset by CMC related activities and a slight increases in non-clinical expenses. The reduction in clinical expenses was primarily attributable to decreased expenses associated with the various clinical trials related to COVID-19, HIV extension studies, NASH, oncology, costs related to resubmission of our HIV BLA, and the packaging and shipping of leronlimab. The driver of the increase in the CMC expense was related to the increase of the inventory reserve for the estimated obsolescence of raw materials, and the expensing of vialed drug product used for clinical purposes and inventory rendered defective for commercial purposes due to manufacturing errors committed by the contract manufacturer during the manufacturing process. The increase in non-clinical expenses was attributable to increased activity associated with pre-clinical studies.

For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, R&D expenses decreased approximately $12.1 million, or 27%, compared to the same period from 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower clinical, CMC, and non-clinical expenses. The decrease in clinical expenses was primarily attributable to reduced expenses associated with the various clinical trials related to COVID-19, HIV extension studies, and oncology, and the packaging and shipping of leronlimab. The reduction in CMC expense was due to decreased manufacturing activity tied to the commercialization of leronlimab, partially offset by the increase of inventory reserves for estimated obsolescence of raw materials, and the expensing of vialed drug product used for clinical purposes and inventory rendered defective for commercial purposes due to manufacturing errors committed by the contract manufacturer during the manufacturing process. The reduction in non-clinical expenses was attributable to decreased activity associated with pre-clinical studies.

Amortization and depreciation expenses, and intangible asset impairment charge

In the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, amortization and depreciation expense was approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million, and approximately $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The decrease of approximately $0.4 million, or 75%, and approximately $0.8 million, or 57% is primarily attributable to the

non-cash impairment charge related to the ProstaGene asset recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, in addition to some intangible assets becoming fully amortized.

In the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a non-cash loss on the extinguishment of convertible notes of approximately $3.1 million and $7.6 million, and approximately $11.1 million and $11.8 million, respectively. The losses resulted from separate and independently negotiated note payment settlements in which certain debt was agreed to be settled in exchange for shares issued at a price less than the closing price at the date of the respective transactions. The original underlying convertible notes were entered into on November 10, 2020 and April 2, 2021. The November 10, 2020 note was fully retired during the three months ended November 30, 2022. Refer to Item I, Note 6, Convertible Instruments and Accrued Interest, for further information.

The increase in finance charges in the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, was primarily attributable to a non-cash expense related to the issuance of 15.0 million warrants pursuant to the Backstop Agreement in addition to interest charges assessed on amounts due to vendors. Refer to Part I, Note 7, Equity Awards and Warrants, Private Placement of Warrants under Surety Bond Backstop Agreement for additional information.

For the three months ended February 28, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year, interest on convertible notes did not change significantly. In the nine months ended February 28, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year, the increase is attributable to the larger amount of debt carried by the Company at the beginning of the fiscal year.

For the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we incurred approximately $1.9 million as legal settlement expense; none in the three months ended February 28, 2022 and three and nine months of the comparable periods of fiscal 2021. The legal settlement expense consisted of a $0.2 million cash payment and approximately $1.7 million of non-cash expense related to the issuance of warrants in connection with a negotiated settlement of a dispute with a placement agent.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash

The Company’s cash and restricted cash position of approximately $2.4 million as of February 28, 2022 decreased by approximately $31.6 million, when compared to the balance of $33.9 million at May 31, 2021. This decrease was

36

Table of Contents

primarily the result of approximately $71.7 million in cash used in our operating activities offset by approximately $40.1 million in cash provided by financing activities. Refer to Item 1, Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Going Concern, and Going Concern discussion below to obtain an understanding of the Company’s ability to continue to fund its operations and satisfy its payment obligations and commitments.

Cash used in operating activities

During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we used $71.7 million for operating activities, an improvement of $13.1 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the net amount of cash used in operating activities was due primarily to the change in our net loss, working capital fluctuations, and changes in our non-cash expenses, all of which are highly variable.

Cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was insignificant in the nine months ended February 28, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year.

Cash provided by financing activities

During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $40.1 million, a decrease of $44.7 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in proceeds received from convertible notes of $50.0 million, and from stock option and warrant exercises.

Inventories

The Company’s pre-launch inventories consist of raw materials purchased for commercial production and work-in-progress inventory related to the substantially completed commercial production of pre-launch inventories of leronlimab in light of the Company’s expectation regarding approval of the product as a combination therapy for HIV patients in the United States. Work-in-progress consists of bulk drug substance, which is the manufactured drug stored in bulk storage, and drug product, which is the manufactured drug in unlabeled vials. See Item 1, Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Inventories, and Note 3, Inventories, net, for further discussion of the capitalization of pre-launch inventories.

The Company’s inventory position as of February 28, 2022 was approximately $82.7 million, net of an approximate $5.8 million reserve, a decrease of approximately $10.8 million when compared to a balance of approximately $93.5 million as of May 31, 2021, net of an approximate $0.7 million reserve. During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, the decrease in inventory was primarily related to $5.1 million reserved for current and future estimated obsolescence of raw materials, approximately $3.6 million related to the write-off of expired raw materials not previously reserved for and vialed drug product used for clinical purposes, $3.3 million of inventories returned or credits received from vendors, offset by inventory purchases of approximately $2.0 million. As of February 28, 2022 the raw materials balance was approximately $19.5 million, net of an approximate $5.8 million reserve, and the total work-in-progress was approximately $63.2 million. Work-in-progress consists of bulk drug substance, which is the manufactured drug stored in bulk storage, and drug product, which is the manufactured drug in unlabeled vials. Bulk drug substance and drug product comprised approximately $1.7 million and $61.5 million, respectively, of work-in-progress inventory.

A summary of our convertible debt arrangements is included in Note 6, Convertible Instruments and Accrued Interest, of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

April 2, 2021 Note

On April 2, 2021, we issued a convertible note with a principal amount of $28.5 million resulting in net cash proceeds of $25.0 million, after $3.4 million of debt discount and $0.1 million of offering costs. The note accrues interest daily at a rate of 10% per annum, contains a stated conversion price of $10.00 per share, and matures in April 2023. The April 2, 2021 Note required monthly debt reduction payments of $7.5 million for the six months beginning in May 2021, which could also be satisfied by payments on other notes held by the noteholder or its affiliates. Beginning six months after the issuance date, the noteholder may request monthly redemptions of up to $3.5 million. The outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note, including accrued interest, was $11.4 million as of February 28, 2022.

April 23, 2021 Note

On April 23, 2021, we issued a convertible note with a principal amount of $28.5 million resulting in net cash proceeds of $25.0 million, after $3.4 million of debt discount and $0.1 million of offering costs. The note accrues interest daily at a rate of 10% per annum, contains a stated conversion price of $10.00 per share, and matures in April 2023. Beginning six months after the issuance date, the noteholder may request monthly redemptions of up to $7.0 million. The outstanding balance of the April 23, 2021 Note, including accrued interest, was $29.1 million as of February 28, 2022.

Common stock

We have 1,000.0 million authorized shares of common stock. As of February 28, 2022, we had approximately 713.3 million shares of common stock outstanding, approximately 79.3 million shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants, approximately 32.2 million shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock and undeclared dividends, approximately 19.0 million shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options or the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, approximately 10.2 million shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to future stock-based awards under our equity incentive plan, and approximately 12.0 million shares of common stock reserved and issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes. As a result, as of February 28, 2022, we had approximately 134.0 million unreserved authorized shares of common stock available for issuance.

Our ability to continue to fund our operations depends on our ability to raise such capital. The funding necessary for our operations may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we may need to scale back operations and/or slow CMC-related activities, delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our clinical trials or postpone our regulatory submissions and commercialization initiatives or our ability to adequately fund legal proceedings, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and stock price. If we deplete our cash reserves, we may have to discontinue our operations and liquidate our assets, in extreme cases, we could be forced to file for bankruptcy protection, discontinue operations or liquidate assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of February 28, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our current or future financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

Refer to Note 5, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities, Note 6, Convertible Instruments and Accrued Interest, and Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, and in Item 7 of the 2021 Form 10-K.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings. As of February 28, 2022, we were not party to any material pending legal proceedings, other than those described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The Company recognizes accruals for such proceedings to the extent a loss is determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The best estimate of a loss within a possible range is accrued; however, if no estimate in the range is more probable than another, then the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If it is determined that a material loss is not probable but reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the possible loss is disclosed. It is not possible to determine the outcome of these proceedings, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Company, as the outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and the outcomes could differ significantly from recognized accruals. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a recognized accrual or if an accrual has not been made, could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of February 28, 2022, the Company had not recorded any accruals related to the outcome of the matters described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, Legal Proceedings.

Regulatory Matters

FDA Refusal to File Letter re HIV BLA Submission

In July 2020, the Company received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA regarding its BLA submission for leronlimab as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients. The FDA informed the Company the BLA did not contain certain information and data needed to complete a substantive review and therefore, the FDA would not file the BLA. The deficiencies cited by FDA included administrative deficiencies, omissions, corrections to data presentation and related analyses, and clarifications regarding the manufacturing processes. The Company is working with consultants to cure the BLA deficiencies noted and will resubmit the BLA as soon as practical. In November 2021, the Company resubmitted the non-clinical and CMC sections of the BLA and is currently reevaluating when it expects to complete the clinical section. As of March 2022, the FDA had commenced its review of the CMC section. The Company is in dispute with its former contract research organization (“CRO”), as described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Proceedings. Recently, in the context of the litigation, the Company obtained an order requiring the CRO to release the Company’s clinical data related to the BLA, which the CRO had been withholding. Further, the order granted the Company the right to perform an audit of the CRO’s services. Additionally, the FDA recently placed the HIV program on a partial clinical hold, which may affect the ability to resubmit the BLA. The Company is in the process of evaluating the data, results of the audit, and implications of the partial clinical hold. The Company will provide an updated timeline anticipated resubmission date once it completes its evaluation, the impact those results may have on the BLA and the estimated resubmission timeline.

FDA Warning Letter re COVID-19 Misbranding of Investigational Drug

In January 2022, the Company received a Warning Letter from the United States FDA alleging that its former CEO and President, Dr. Nader Pourhassan, had made references in a video interview to COVID-19 and leronlimab in a promotional context to the effect that leronlimab, an investigational new drug, is safe and effective for the purpose for which it is being investigated or otherwise promoted the drug. The FDA warned the Company that leronlimab has not been approved or authorized by the FDA, its safety and effectiveness has not yet been established, and that the related clinical trial data was mischaracterized in the video. The FDA further alleged the video misbrands leronlimab under section 502(f)(1) of the FD&C Act and in violation of section 301(a) of the FD&C Act, as the claims in the video make representations in a promotional context regarding the safety and efficacy of an investigational new drug that has not

39

been approved or authorized by the FDA. The Company is working closely with the FDA to resolve this matter and take the proper corrective actions.

FDA Partial Clinical Hold re HIV and Full Clinical Hold re COVID-19 Letters

In March 2022, the United States FDA placed a partial clinical hold on the Company’s HIV program and a full clinical hold on its COVID-19 program in the United States. The Company was not enrolling any new patients in the trials placed on hold in the United States. The partial clinical hold on the HIV program impacts patients currently enrolled in extension trials. These patients will be transitioned to other available therapeutics and no clinical studies can be initiated or resumed until the partial clinical hold is resolved. CytoDyn is working closely with the FDA to resolve the partial clinical hold as soon as possible. Under the full clinical hold on the COVID-19 program, no new clinical studies may be initiated until the clinical hold is resolved. The Company is not currently conducting any COVID-19 trials in the United States, as it is evaluating the most optimal programs on which to focus its resources and attention. The Company is working closely with the FDA to resolve the partial clinical hold as soon as possible.

Going Concern

As presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company incurred a net loss of $100.4 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2022 and has an accumulated deficit of $636.1 million as of February 28, 2022. The Company has had limited to no activities that produced revenue in the periods presented and has sustained operating losses since inception.

We currently require and will continue to require a significant amount of additional capital to fund operations and pay our liabilities and commitments, and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise such additional capital, commercialize our product and achieve profitability. If the Company is not able to raise such additional capital on a timely basis or on favorable terms, it may need to scale back operations and/or slow CMC-related activities, delay or reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our clinical trials or postpone our regulatory submissions and commercialization initiatives, or ability to adequately fund legal proceedings, which could materially delay commercialization initiatives and its ability to achieve profitability. The Company’s failure to raise additional capital could also affect its relationships with key vendors, including Samsung, disrupting its ability to timely execute its business plan. In extreme cases, the Company could be forced to file for bankruptcy protection, discontinue operations or liquidate assets.

Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the public and private sale of equity securities and proceeds from convertible notes payable and related party notes payable. The Company intends to finance its future operating activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional potential funding from other traditional and non-traditional financing sources. As of the date of this filing, the Company has approximately 134.0 million shares of common stock unreserved, authorized and available for issuance under its certificate of incorporation, as amended.

The sale of equity and convertible debt securities to raise additional capital may result in dilution to stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of common shares. If the Company raises funds through the issuance of additional preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt or equity financing, the related transaction documents could contain covenants restricting its operations. On April 2 and April 23, 2021, the Company entered into long-term convertible notes that are secured by all of our assets (excluding our intellectual property), and include certain restrictive provisions, including limitations on incurring additional indebtedness and future dilutive issuances of securities, any of which could impair our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms and conditions. On February 14, 2022, in exchange for warrants the Company entered into a Backstop Arrangement with an accredited investor whereby the Company pledged its patents and the investor agreed to indemnify the issuer of the Surety Bond in the Amarex dispute with respect to the Company’s obligations under the Surety Bond. Any other third-party funding arrangements could require the Company to relinquish valuable rights. The Company expects to require additional capital beyond currently anticipated needs. Additional capital, if available, may not be available on reasonable or non-dilutive terms. Refer to Item 1A in the 2021 Form 10-K and Item 1A in Part II of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

New Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no material changes in recently issued or adopted accounting standards from those disclosed in the 2021 Form 10-K. Also refer to Item 1, Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Revenue Recognition, and Note 3, Inventories, net of this Form 10-Q for additional discussion.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying our critical accounting policies. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

The Company capitalizes inventories procured or produced in preparation for product launches sufficient to support estimated initial market demand subject to regulatory approval for commercial sale. The Company believes that material uncertainties related to the ultimate regulatory approval of leronlimab for commercial sale have been significantly reduced based on positive data from its Phase 2b/3 clinical trial for leronlimab as a combination therapy with highly active antiretroviral therapy (“HAART”) for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients, as well as information gathered from meetings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) related to its Biologic License Application (“BLA”) for this indication. In July 2020, the Company received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA regarding its BLA submission for leronlimab as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients. The FDA informed the Company the BLA did not contain certain information and data needed to complete a substantive review and therefore, the FDA would not file the BLA. The deficiencies cited by FDA included administrative deficiencies, omissions, corrections to data presentation and related analyses, and clarifications regarding the manufacturing processes. The Company is working with consultants to cure the BLA deficiencies noted and will resubmit the BLA as soon as practical. In November 2021, the Company resubmitted the non-clinical and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (“CMC”) sections of the BLA and is currently reevaluating when it expects to complete the clinical section. As of March 2022, the FDA had commenced its review of the CMC section. The Company is in dispute with its former contract research organization (“CRO”), as described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, Legal Proceedings. Recently, in the context of the litigation, the Company obtained an order requiring the CRO to release the Company’s clinical data related to the BLA, which the CRO had been withholding. Further, the order granted the Company the right to perform an audit of the CRO’s services. Additionally, the FDA recently placed the HIV program on a partial clinical hold, which may affect the ability to resubmit the BLA. The Company is in the process of evaluating the data, results of the audit, and implications of the partial clinical hold. The Company will update the status of its anticipated resubmission of the clinical section of the BLA once it completes its evaluation. The Company anticipates that when the FDA completes its review of the BLA following completion of the resubmission, leronlimab will be approved, and market acceptance of leronlimab as a treatment for HIV will be forthcoming, enabling the Company to sell the amount of pre-launch inventory on-hand prior to its expiration. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Inventories, Note 3, Inventories, net, and Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, and Part II, Item 2. Regulatory Matters, and Item 1A. Risk factors for additional discussions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes from the information previously reported under Part II, Item 7A of the 2021 Form 10-K.

41

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of business. These risks primarily include interest rate sensitivities. As of February 28, 2022, we had $2.4 million in cash and restricted cash. We intend to hold our cash in interest-bearing money market accounts. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Due to the short-term maturities of our cash and the low risk profile of its investment, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash.

Common Stock Price Volatility

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has historically granted stock incentive awards to management and employees in the form of stock options. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for stock options over the requisite service period using the fair value of these grants as estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the market value of our publicly traded common stock on the date of grant. This expense is reflected as part of the general and administrative expense line item in our consolidated statements of operations. In addition to the market value of our common stock, one of the inputs into this model that significantly impacts the fair value of the options is the expected volatility of our common stock over the estimated life of the option. We estimate expected volatility by using the most recent historical experience.

Since November 2019, our common stock has experienced periods of elevated volatility in trading. Grants of stock options and warrants during 2022 will continue to reflect expected volatility in the estimation of grant date fair value of stock options that would result in a higher value and related stock-based compensation expense for these awards when compared to prior years.

Additionally, we negotiate the settlement of debt payment obligations in exchange for equity securities of the Company, which can create a non-cash charge upon extinguishment of debt as the price of our common stock fluctuates. If we continue to enter into these settlements, the increased levels of volatility in our common stock trading price will result in increased dilution and extinguishment gains or losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("the Exchange Act") reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Financial Officer, who has also been performing the functions of the Chief Executive Officer as interim President since January 25, 2022, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As previously disclosed in the Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30, 2021, we identified an error that resulted in revisions to additional paid-in capital and non-cash inducement interest expense beginning in fiscal year 2018 through the three months ended August 31, 2021. The error relates to a pre-existing model used to calculate non-cash inducement interest expense designed to calculate inducement interest expense specific to modification of a warrant term (e.g., extension of the term or modification of exercise price) without settling the instrument. However, starting in fiscal year 2018 and to date, inducements have been primarily structured to be a settlement of the warrant, not a modification. We believe the failure to identify these errors on a timely basis resulted from a material weakness related to the evaluation of complex accounting issues due to staffing constraints and lack of technical expertise. In connection with the identification of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we continue to evaluate, design and implement controls and procedures to address this weakness. In recent periods, we have entered into consulting arrangements for external resources and have hired additional personnel with accounting skills to strengthen internal control over financial reporting, specifically in the areas of technical accounting and financial reporting. A

42

Table of Contents

material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a matter that may require some period of time to correct. We will continue to evaluate, design and implement policies and procedures to address the material weakness, including enhancing accounting personnel to adequately execute our accounting processes and address our internal control over financial reporting as a public company. We are also implementing several transformation initiatives to centralize and simplify our business processes and systems. We expect to complete their implementation by the end of the current fiscal year; we believe they will enhance our internal control over financial reporting due to increased automation and further integration of related processes. We will continue to monitor our internal control over financial reporting for effectiveness throughout these transformation initiatives.

Other than the changes to date described above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We carry out a variety of ongoing procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Financial Officer, who has also been performing the functions of the Chief Executive Officer as interim President since January 25, 2022, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of February 28, 2022 due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above.

PART II – Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Refer to Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, for a description of pending material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks, including risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021, as well as the risk factors described below. You should carefully consider these risk factors in addition to other information in this Form 10-Q.

Our cash reserves are extremely low, requiring that we raise substantial additional financing to satisfy our current payment obligations and to fund our operations.

We must raise substantial additional funds in the near term to meet our payment obligations and fund our operations. This funding may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, as of March 28, 2022, we had only approximately 134.0 million shares of common stock available for issuance in new financing transactions. If we fail to raise additional funds on a timely basis, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our planned operating activities, including resubmission of our BLA application, analysis of clinical trial data for purposes of responding to FDA requirements and preparing additional regulatory submissions, engaging in additional clinical trials, or seeking additional commercialization opportunities, regulatory and compliance activities, and legal defense activities. Any such delay or inability to pursue our planned activities could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and stock price. If we deplete our cash reserves, we may have to discontinue our operations and liquidate our assets.

We have capitalized pre-launch inventories prior to receiving FDA marketing approval. If either FDA approval or market acceptance post-approval do not occur at all or on a timely basis prior to shelf-life expiration, the Company will be required to write-off pre-launch inventories, which would materially and adversely affect, financial condition ability to raise additional financing, and stock price.

Pre-launch inventories consist of raw materials and work-in-progress related to our product candidate leronlimab, the costs of which were capitalized prior to. If FDA approval is significantly delayed, the salability of our product may be affected due to shelf-life of our pre-launch inventory. In addition, market acceptance of our product could fall short of our expectations due to introduction of a competing product, physicians being unwilling or unable to prescribe leronlimab to their patients, or if our target patient population is reluctant to try leronlimab as a new therapy. If any of these risks were to materialize with respect to our product, or if the launch of such product is significantly postponed, the salability of our pre-launch inventories would be adversely affected and may require write-off of a significant portion of the carrying value of our pre-launch inventories.

Pre-launch inventories consist of costs of raw materials and work-in-progress related to our product candidate leronlimab, which have been capitalized prior to the date that we anticipate that such product will receive FDA final marketing approval. The BLA resubmission will require updating the previously provided analyses which could result in significant delay in obtaining approval. If FDA approval is significantly delayed, the salability of our product may be affected due to shelf-life of our pre-launch inventory. In addition, market acceptance of our product could fall short of our expectations due to introduction of a competing product, physicians unwilling or unable to prescribe leronlimab to their patients, or if our target patient population is reluctant to try leronlimab as a new therapy. If any of these risks were to materialize with respect to our product, or if the launch of such product is significantly postponed, the salability of our

44

Table of Contents

pre-launch inventories would be adversely affected and may require write-off of the carrying value of our pre-launch inventories in amounts that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In September 2021, we notified the FDA of an expected delay in the completion of resubmission of our BLA for the use of leronlimab as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients. The delay was caused by what we believe to be performance failures by our former contract research organization, coupled with the additional time for a new team to address the deficiencies. Subsequent events have resulted in further delays in the resubmission process, including the action by the United States FDA in March 2022 to place a partial clinical hold on the Company’s HIV program and a full clinical hold on its COVID-19 program in the United States. We are currently evaluating the steps required to resolve the issues underlying the clinical holds and continue to advance the resubmission process. We cannot currently predict with any certainty when we will be able to complete our BLA resubmission. We likely will need to obtain significant additional funding to cover the costs of preparing for BLA resubmission, among other activities, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Substantial additional delays in our efforts to commercialize our drug product are likely to result in the need to write down the value of our inventories due to obsolescence. Investor confidence in our company may also be adversely affected, which may reduce the market price of our common stock and decrease stockholder value.

We received notice of a material breach of our payment obligations to Samsung, which ultimately could result in termination of our agreements for manufacturing of our drug product and related services we expect Samsung to provide under the agreements.

Beginning in January 2022, Samsung has communicated with us regarding alleged defaults by the Company in our payment obligations under our agreements with Samsung. Negotiations are ongoing with Samsung regarding potential approaches to resolve these issues, including entering into a revised schedule of payments over an extended period of time, satisfaction of a portion of our payment obligations in equity securities of the Company, and postponing or cancelling the manufacturing of additional drug product provided for in our agreements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to address the issues raised by Samsung in a timely manner or avoid being found to be in default under our agreement with Samsung. Failure to do so may ultimately result in termination of our agreements with Samsung, which could jeopardize our ability to properly store our inventories of drug product and manufacture additional drug product when needed.

Refer to Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Our Commercialization and License Agreement with Vyera was assigned in December 2021 to Regnum Corp., which has no operations and virtually no assets.

Our Commercialization and License Agreement with Vyera (the “License Agreement”), under which we had exclusive rights to commercialize leronlimab for use with HIV patients in the U.S., gave Vyera the right to assign its rights and obligations under the agreement to an affiliate of Vyera. In October 2020, Vyera assigned the agreement to SevenScore Pharmaceuticals, which in turn assigned the agreement to Regnum Corp. in December 2021. Vyera, SevenScore and Regnum are each affiliates controlled by their parent Phoenixus AG. Phoenixus acquired Regnum in April 2021; at September 30, 2021, Regnum had $4,000 in assets and had no operations or revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Regnum likely will require a significant infusion of capital to fund its obligations under the License Agreement following approval of leronlimab by the FDA. Refer to Licensing in Part 7, of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021 for additional information regarding the License Agreement.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2021, which could, if not remediated, result in material misstatements in, or untimely reporting of, our financial results which could lead to substantial additional costs and an adverse impact on our stock price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations require us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and to include a management report

45

Table of Contents

assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for each fiscal year. Management determined that, as of November 30, 2021, we had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and that, accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective. Refer to Part II, Item 4, Controls and Procedures, of the Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30, 2021 for additional information regarding Material Weakness. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis. We continue to evaluate, design and work through the process of implementing controls and procedures under a remediation plan designed to address the material weakness. If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weakness, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are identified in the future, our financial statements may contain material misstatements requiring us to restate our financial results, and potentially resulting in substantial additional costs for accounting and legal fees, shareholder litigation and a decline in our stock price.

Our business, operating results and financial condition could be negatively affected as a result of actions by activist investors.

As described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30, 2021, we have experienced unsuccessful litigation by activist shareholder groups. Similar actions may occur in the future. While the Company welcomes opinions of all stockholders, responding to demands, litigation, proxy contests or other initiatives by activist investors may divert the attention of our Board, management team, and employees from their regular duties in the pursuit of business opportunities to enhance stockholder value. Such actions may also cause our existing or potential customers, employees, strategic partners and stockholders to have questions or doubts about the future direction of the Company and may provide our competitors with an opportunity to exploit these concerns. Such circumstances could cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.

-2-


vote on any amendment to this Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to only such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto by this Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock).

2. Dividends. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over or the right to participate with the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends, dividends may be declared and paid or set apart for payment upon the Common Stock out of any assets or funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends, but only when and as declared by the Board of Directors or any authorized committee thereof.

B. PREFERRED STOCK

The Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for one or more series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, and the powers (including voting powers, if any), preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series of Preferred Stock. The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each series of Preferred Stock, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.

The following is a statement of the designations, preferences, qualifications, limitations, privileges and restrictions and the special or relative rights granted to or imposed upon the shares of each class of Preferred Stock of the Corporation which has been designated as of the date hereof:

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

The number of shares of this series of Preferred Stock shall be 400,000 shares. The powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of this series of Preferred Stock and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of such preferences and rights shall be as follows:

1. Dividend Provisions.

(a) The holders of record of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of any assets at the time legally available therefore and when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends at the rate of $.25 per share per annum from the date of issuance of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be cumulative, shall accrue, whether or not declared and whether or not there are any profits, surplus or other funds or assets of the Corporation legally available therefore, and, at the Corporation’s option, at the time the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are converted into shares of the Corporation’s common stock shall either (i) be paid in cash, or (ii) be paid with restricted shares of the Corporation’s common stock. In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution (other than any distribution described above) payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by

-3-


the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights to purchase any such securities or evidences of indebtedness, then, in each such case the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their respective shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

(b) In the event that the Corporation elects to pay any dividends with shares of the Corporation’s common stock, the shares being issued for the interest will be valued at $.50 per share.

2. Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holder of each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Stock, an amount per share equal to $5.00 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. If the assets and funds to be distributed among the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment of the full aforesaid preferential amount to such holders, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for the distribution shall be distributed among the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in proportion to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by them.

3. Conversion. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock on the following terms and conditions (the “Conversion Rights”):

(a) Option to Convert. Commencing as soon as the Corporation has sufficient authorized and unissued shares of its Common Stock available for all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of their shares into shares of Common Stock at any time or from time to time upon notice to the Corporation on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the election of a holder of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to convert shares of such Preferred Stock, the holder of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which are converted shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any authorized transfer agent for such stock together with a written statement that he elects to convert his preferred stock to common stock. The Corporation or the transfer agent shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is thereby entitled. The effective date of such conversion shall be a date not later than 30 days after the date upon which the holder provides written notice of his election to convert to the Corporation or transfer agent.

(c) Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into ten (10) fully paid restricted shares of Common Stock (except as adjusted pursuant to paragraph 3(d) below). In the event that upon conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock a holder shall be entitled to a fraction of a share of Common Stock, no fractional share shall be issued and in lieu thereof the Corporation shall pay to the holder cash equal to the fair value of such fraction of a share.

(d) Adjustment of Conversion Rate. If the Corporation shall at any time, or from time to time, after the effective date hereof effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, or if the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the effective date hereof shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately adjusted as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

-4-


(e) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization. If at any time after the issuance date there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, merger or other reorganization event involving the Corporation, then following any such reorganization each share of Series B Convertible preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible, in lieu of the shares of common stock into which it was convertible prior to such event, into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of common stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction.

(f) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of lncorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock against impairment.

(g) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times use its best efforts to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as is necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

4. Status of Converted or Reacquired Stock. In case any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the shares so converted shall cease to be a part of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation.

5. Voting Rights. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights.

6. Notices. Any notice required to be given to holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed given upon deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Corporation, or upon personal delivery of the aforementioned address.”

ARTICLE V

STOCKHOLDER ACTION

1. Action without Meeting. Except as otherwise provided herein, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present and acting throughout and may not be taken or effected by a written consent of stockholders in lieu thereof, provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable certificate of designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock.

2. Special Meetings. Except as otherwise required by statute and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Company may be called only by the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Whole Board.

Any Director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term and until such Director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal.

5. Removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of any series of Preferred Stock to elect Directors and to remove any Director whom the holders of any such stock have the right to elect, any Director (including persons elected by Directors to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors) may be removed from office (i) only with cause and (ii) only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of Directors.

-11-


outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or such greater percentage as may be required by applicable law or this Certificate of Designation.

Section 5Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the Holders shall be entitled, before any distributions shall be made to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or the Common Stock, to be paid an amount per share equal to the Stated Value plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets to be distributed among the Holders shall be insufficient to permit payment to the Holders of their respective liquidation amount, then the entire assets of the Corporation to be distributed shall be distributed pro rata to the Holders. In the event of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the Holders, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Common Stock, and any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as then in effect. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder.

Section 6. Conversion.

a) Conversion at Option of Holder. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Initial Conversion Date at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series C Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversion by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series C Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

b) Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Series C Preferred Stock shall equal $0.50, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Conversion Price”).

c) Mechanics of Conversion.

i) Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and (B) a bank check or shares of Common Stock, at the Holder’s option, calculated in accordance with Section 3 hereof, in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Corporation’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion Date.

ii) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

-12-


iii) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

Section 7Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Series C Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) above, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder of will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Series C Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person for which approval of the stockholders of the Corporation is required, (ii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or

-13-


property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Series C Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Corporation’s control, including not approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Corporation or any successor or acquiring entity, as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) that is being offered and paid to holders of Common Stock in the aggregate in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, shares or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given a choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Series C Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Series C Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Series C Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.

e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock

-14-


deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

f) Notice to the Holders. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

Section 8Registration and Transfer.

a) The Corporation shall maintain at its principal offices (or at the offices of its transfer agent or such other office or agency as it may designate by notice to the Holders ) a stock register for the Series C Preferred Stock in which the Corporation shall record the names and addresses of the Holders.

b) Prior to due presentment for registration of any permitted transferee of any Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation may deem and treat the person in whose name any Series C Preferred Stock is registered as the absolute owner of such Series C Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

c) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not register as a holder of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock any proposed transferee thereof, and such proposed transferee shall not be deemed a Holder for any purposes hereunder, unless: (i) such proposed transferee (A) represents to the Corporation in writing that such proposed transferee is an accredited investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and (B) provides written certification to the Corporation of the basis of such transferee’s status as an accredited investor, which certification shall be satisfactory to the Corporation in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith; (C) agrees, in writing, to abide by the terms of, and to assume the obligations of the initial Holder under any written agreement between the Corporation and such initial Holder; and (D) is provided a copy of this Certificate of Designation (as the same may be amended from time to time); and (ii) the proposed transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration is available.

d) Each certificate representing any shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall contain the following legends placed prominently on the front or back of the certificate:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT.

Section 6Conversion.

a) Conversion at Option of Holder. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Initial Conversion Date at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series D Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversion by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series D Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Series D Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

b) Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Series D Preferred Stock shall equal $0.50, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Conversion Price”).

c) Mechanics of Conversion.

i) Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and (B) a bank check or shares of Common Stock, at the Holder’s option, calculated in accordance with Section 3 hereof, in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Corporation’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion Date.

ii) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the

-29-


Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

iii) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

Section 7Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Series D Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) above, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder of will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s Series D Preferred Stock immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Series D Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person for which approval of the stockholders of the Corporation is required,

-30-


(ii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Series D Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Corporation’s control, including not approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Corporation or any successor or acquiring entity, as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) that is being offered and paid to holders of Common Stock in the aggregate in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, shares or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given a choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Series D Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Series D Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Series D Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.

-31-


e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

f) Notice to the Holders. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

Section 8Registration and Transfer.

CytoDyn Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify that:

1.The name of the Corporation is CytoDyn Inc.
2.The Corporation was originally incorporated under the name Point NewCo Inc. by the filing of its original Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware on August 27, 2018.

WHEREAS on December 21, 2021, the Court in the Amarex Litigation issued a preliminary injunction (the “Preliminary Injunction”) requiring Amarex to supply CytoDyn with all data collected by Amarex in connection with obtaining FDA approval of certain pharmaceuticals being developed by CytoDyn, including trial master files, and authorizing CytoDyn to conduct an audit of clinical trial work provided by Amarex to CytoDyn.

WHEREAS, as a condition to conducting the audit authorized by the Preliminary Injunction, CytoDyn is required to post bond in the amount of $6,500,000 United States Dollars (the “Surety Bond”).

WHEREAS Argonaut Insurance Company, an Illinois corporation (“Surety”), has agreed that it will issue the Surety Bond subject to Indemnitors agreeing to indemnify Surety for any loss incurred by Surety in connection with the Surety Bond, as more specifically provided in that certain General Indemnity Agreement to be executed and delivered by Indemnitors to Surety in connection with the Surety Bond (the “Surety Bond Indemnity”).

WHEREAS Indemnitors are willing to enter into the Surety Bond Indemnity and backstop CytoDyn’s obligations under the Surety Bond subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the consideration set forth in this Agreement, and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows.

AGREEMENT

1.Surety Bond Indemnity. In consideration for the Warrants (as defined below) and the Indemnification Fee (as defined below), on or before February 14, 2022, Indemnitors each agree (i) to execute and deliver to Surety the Surety Bond Indemnity in the form

Page 1 – Surety Bond Backstop Agreement – CytoDyn – Welch


reasonably required by Surety; (ii) to identify to Surety assets of Indemnitors sufficient to support issuance of the Surety Bond; (iii) to provide to Surety such information, including financial statements, tax returns, and bank statement, requested by Surety in connection with the issuance of the Surety Bond; and (iv) to covenant with Surety that Indemnitors will not encumber, dispose of, or transfer the assets identified by Indemnitors in support of the Surety Bond Indemnity.

2.

Warrant Award; Reimbursement. As consideration for the obligations of Indemnitors under Section 1 of this Agreement:

(a)

within fourteen (14) days of issuance of the Surety Bond, CytoDyn shall issue to 4-Good Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (A) a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 for the purchase of fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of CytoDyn common stock (the “Initial Warrant”), and (B) a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2 for the purchase of fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of CytoDyn common stock (the “Make-Whole Warrant” and, together with the Initial Warrant, the “Warrants”), which Make-Whole Warrant shall be subject to exercise only if any Indemnitor makes payment to Surety of any amount under the Surety Bond Indemnity (an “Indemnity Payment”) or breaches any covenants in Section 6 of this Agreement;

Exhibit 10.2

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS

This Separation Agreement and Release of Claims (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Nader Pourhassan (“Employee”) and CytoDyn Inc. (“Employer”), effective as of the date set forth in Section 15. It is intended to clearly set forth the terms and conditions of Employee’s separation from employment with Employer, and to facilitate a smooth and amicable transition from employment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms, conditions, promises, and covenants set forth below, it is agreed as follows:

1.Separation of Employment. Employee’s last day of employment with Employer was January 24, 2022 (the “Separation Date”). Employee will receive his final paycheck for wages earned through the Separation Date and any accrued, but unused PTO, less applicable taxes and withholdings, on the next regular payroll date that occurs after the Separation Date. Employee’s group health coverage (if any) under Employer’s plan will end automatically on January 31, 2022, and he will receive information about his options, if any, to elect continuation coverage thereafter.

2.Automatic Board Resignation. In accordance with Section 4.7 of Employee’s Employment Agreement effective June 15, 2020 (the “Pourhassan Employment Agreement”), Employee will be considered to have resigned from Employer’s Board of Directors as of the Separation Date. For avoidance of doubt, Employee will tender his written resignation from Employer’s Board of Directors, effective as of the Separation Date, to Employer within 10 days of the Separation Date.

3.Severance. In consideration of and contingent upon Employee’s acceptance of this Agreement without revocation as provided in Section 15 below, Employee’s separation will be treated by Employer as a termination without “cause” in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Pourhassan Employment Agreement and therefore Employee will receive a severance equal to eighteen (18) months of his regular Base Salary, less applicable taxes, withholdings and authorized deductions, and paid by Employer according to the payment terms outlined in the Pourhassan Employment Agreement.

4.Other Employment. Contingent upon and subject to Employee’s ongoing obligations related to confidentiality and cooperation as more fully set forth below, Employer acknowledges at that Employee is not obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Employee obtains other employment.

5.Preservation and Return of Employer’s Property, Records and Information. Employee warrants and represents that he has not removed and will not remove any Employer property from its premises, servers, databases, or equipment, except and to the extent authorized by Employer in writing. Employee further warrants that he has preserved and returned all company property, including all company data, records, other documents, and correspondence, in any form whatsoever, unaltered and undamaged, to Employer, including any such property currently stored on personal devices or in locations not accessible to Employer and any such property as to which Employee previously received notice that such property was required to be preserved in connection with ongoing litigation or

Separation Agreement – Page 1


investigations by governmental agencies, and that Employee has retained no copies thereof. This includes, without limitation, three (3) company-issued laptop computers with the following company identifiers: CD-VANC-CEO3, CD-VANC-USR40, and CD-VANC-USR43.

6.Acknowledgement of Pending Overcontribution Correction. Employee acknowledges that he was made aware that: (a) prior to the Separation Date, there have been contribution errors to the CytoDyn Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the “Plan”); (b) Employer is still actively working with the Plan’s third-party administrator and outside counsel to correct those errors; and (c) the correction of those errors will result in a portion of the contributions previously made to his accounts (as adjusted for earnings) being removed from his accounts as he was not entitled to receive those contributions under the terms of the Plan or applicable law. Employee further understands and acknowledges that a portion of the contributions made to his Plan accounts violated the terms of the Plan and applicable law and that such overcontributions (as adjusted for earnings) must be removed from his Plan accounts. In the event that Employee should request a distribution from the Plan before the referenced errors are corrected, Employee agrees to repay any and all amounts paid to him in error (adjusted for earnings at the Plan’s earnings rate from the date of the distribution to the date of repayment) upon 30 days’ notice from Employer. Employee agrees that the Plan may pursue any available remedy to collect an overpayment.

7.Return of Duplicate Stock Certificates. Due to an administrative error, Employee received the following duplicate stock certificates representing 30,000 shares of the Employer’s common stock:

Issuance Date

Certificate Number

Number of Shares

10/02/08

CUS 00000684

10,000

10/02/08

CUS 00000685

10,000

03/02/09

CUS 00000776

10,000

Employee acknowledges that: (a) on April 30, 2020, ComputerShare issued in error duplicates of the above stock certificates in electronic form to his Jeffries LLC account #***-******; and (b) he was previously notified that the original certificates needed to be returned to the Company to be canceled. Therefore, Employee agrees to return the physical certificates to Employer within 10 days of the Separation Date.

8.Release of Claims. With the exception of the obligations arising under this Agreement, Employee knowingly and voluntarily, unconditionally and forever, waives and releases any and all claims, damages, causes of action and rights, whether known or unknown, contingent or noncontingent, contractual or otherwise against Employer or any of its directors, officers, agents, attorneys, representatives and employees, past and present, and each of their successors and assigns (collectively “Releasees”). Employee makes this commitment even though he understands that he may not, as of this date, know all of the claims he may lawfully have against the Releasees and that he is relinquishing the right to pursue any claims which he could have pursued before courts without having the opportunity to pursue those claims to a trial and have the damages, if any, set by a judge and/or jury, including without limitation any claims under the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991, as amended (“Title VII”), the Washington State Law Against Discrimination (“WLAD”), the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Fair Labor Standards Act

Separation Agreement – Page 2


(“FLSA”), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”) and its Washington equivalent, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended (“OSHA”) and its Washington counterpart (“WISHA”), as amended, state and federal medical leave acts, Executive Order 11246, as amended, any and all federal civil rights statutes or ordinances, including Sections 1983 and 1981, as well as under any other federal, state, or local statute, regulation otherwise governing the employment relationship, as well as any claims arising under common law, including contract and tort claims.

This release includes a release of claims of discrimination or retaliation on the basis of workers’ compensation status under Washington law, but does not include workers’ compensation claims for injuries sustained during employment, rights to unemployment, or any other claims which by law cannot be waived in a private agreement between the parties. Employee is also not releasing any claim for indemnity he may have under any contract of insurance, corporate by-law, policy of indemnity of Employer or the Indemnification Agreement between the parties dated August 27, 2015 (the “Indemnification Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, Employee is not releasing any claim concerning Employer’s payment of Employee’s reasonable attorney fees as provided for in the Indemnification Agreement. This release also does not extend to any obligations incurred or specified under this Agreement, including any claims of defamation or claims to enforce this Agreement.

9.Promise Not to Sue. Employee represents that he has not filed any claim that was released in this Agreement against any of the Releasees with any court or government agency, and that in the future, Employee will not, unless allowed by applicable law, bring a lawsuit against any Releasee based on a claim that was released in this Agreement.

10.No Additional Compensation or Benefits. By signing below, Employee expressly affirms that he has been paid and/or has received all leave or required paid time off (paid or unpaid), compensation, wages (including overtime), bonuses, commissions, and/or benefits to which he may be entitled and that no other compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, and/or benefits are due to him as a result of his employment with Employer.

11.Continuing Confidentiality. Employee acknowledges and reaffirms his post- employment commitments to confidentiality as reflected in the Inventions Assignment and Non- Disclosure Agreement signed by him in connection with his employment (the “NDA”), Employer’s confidentiality policies and directives communicated to him during employment, and applicable law.

12.Continued Cooperation. Employee agrees (a) to cooperate and make himself reasonably available to respond to questions in connection with any Employer or government agency-initiated investigations pending as of the Separation Date and (b) to cooperate with and make himself reasonably available to respond to questions by Employer’s attorneys investigating, representing and/or defending Employer against any actual or threatened claims or enforcement actions that concern matters relating in whole or in part to his activities, role or responsibilities while Employee was employed by Employer. Employee further agrees to use his best efforts to reasonably cooperate with Employer and its counsel and to be available to provide such truthful testimony and other information at such times as are reasonably requested of Employee. Employer will reimburse, consistent with its reimbursement policies, any out-of-pocket expenses and losses incurred by Employee in providing assistance to Employer, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Employee’s reasonable attorney fees,

Separation Agreement – Page 3


but will not provide Employee any other payment, compensation, or remuneration for his cooperation as provided herein.

13.Employee’s Protected Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, including Section 8 above, is intended to or shall interfere with Employee’s rights under applicable federal or state laws to: (a) file a good faith charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or any other federal, state, or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”); (b) communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency in good faith, including providing documents or other information, without notice to Employer; or (c) receive an award for information provided to any Government Agency. On the other hand, by signing this Agreement, Employee waives and releases any right to any claims for money damages and equitable relief pursuant to the filing or prosecution of any administrative charge against Employer or any resulting civil proceeding or lawsuit that may be commenced on his behalf for the recovery of such relief, and which arises out of the matters that are and may be released in this Agreement.

14.Non-admission of Liability. This Agreement is to be entered into on a non-precedential basis and shall not be construed in any way as an admission by Employer of any liability whatsoever against Employee or any other persons. Employer specifically disclaims any liability to, or any acts of wrongdoing against Employee or any other persons.

15.Review and Revocation Period.
