Item 8.01. Other Events.

Letter Regarding Nomination Notice

On June 30, 2021, Paul A. Rosenbaum, Arthur L. Wilmes and Jeffrey P. Beaty (collectively, the “Nominating Persons”) submitted a notice (the “Nomination Notice”) to CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”), stating their intent to solicit votes for five director nominees at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”). After due consideration, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, the Company has determined that the Nomination Notice fails to comply with the advance notice provision of the Company’s bylaws (as amended, the “Bylaws”). Accordingly, on July 30, 2021, the Company’s outside legal counsel, Sidley Austin LLP, sent a letter (the “Letter”) on behalf of the Company to Mr. Rosenbaum, in his capacity as representative of the Nominating Persons, informing him that the Nomination Notice does not constitute valid notice of director nominations for the 2021 Annual Meeting and that the deadline under the Bylaws to deliver a valid notice expired on July 2, 2021. A copy of the Letter is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

On August 2, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Letter was sent to Mr. Rosenbaum and that the Nomination Notice is invalid. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
