EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 4 (“ Amendment No.  4 ”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 2017, as amended on November 27, 2017, December 6, 2017 and December 7, 2017 (together with the exhibits thereto, this “ Schedule  TO ”), relating to an offer by CytoDyn Inc. (“ CytoDyn ” or the “ Company ”) to amend and exercise certain outstanding warrants upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Amend and Exercise Warrants to Purchase Common Stock, dated November 24, 2017 (the “ Offer to Amend and Exercise ”), which together with the Election to Participate and Exercise Warrant and Notice of Withdrawal constitute the “ Offering Materials .”

The information contained in the Offer to Amend and Exercise filed as Exhibit 99(a)(1)(B) to this Schedule TO is incorporated herein by reference in response to all of the items of this Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

The Offer to Amend and Exercise and Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Amend and Exercise, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

1. Immediately following (a) the first sentence in the second paragraph on page (i) of the Offer to Amend and Exercise and (b) the first sentence under “Section 8. Procedure for participating in offer to amend and exercise and exercising amended warrants” on page 16 of the Offer to Amend and Exercise, the following sentence is added:

We do not view the representations and warranties to be made by warrant holders tendering their warrants that they have ‘review[ed] the current business prospects, financial condition and operating history of the Company’, ‘had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the Offer to Amend and Exercise’, and ‘received all the information [they] consider[ed] necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to accept the Offer to Amend and Exercise’ as a waiver of any potential liability that we may have under federal securities laws, and we agree not to assert that these provisions constitute a waiver of any such liability if a claim is made against us.

2. Each of (a) the first full paragraph under the heading “Conditions” on page 1 of the Offer to Amend and Exercise and (b) the first full paragraph under “Section 6. Conditions to the Offer to Amend and Exercise” on page 15 of the Offer to Amend and Exercise is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

  (i) As part of the Election to Participate and Exercise Warrant, the holders of the Original Warrants must complete an Accredited Investor Questionnaire. In addition, as part of the Election to Participate and Exercise Warrant, the holders of the Original Warrants are asked to make certain representations and warranties upon which the Company will rely in establishing that the transactions contemplated by the Offer to Amend and Exercise are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The holders of the Original Warrants previously made substantially the same representations and warranties to the Company, including representations that they were “accredited investors,” in connection with the transactions in which such holders acquired the Original Warrants.

If you wish to participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise, but you are not able to make any of the representations set forth on page 2 of the Acknowledgements and Representations and Warranties, please reach out to us directly at our corporate address indicated in “Section 23. Information Requests” on page 25 to inform us which ones you are not able to make and why. Holders of the Original Warrants are not prohibited from tendering their Original Warrants, even if such holders are unable to make these representations and warranties and complete an Accredited Investor Questionnaire, including a representation that such holders are currently “accredited investors.”

If we receive a completed Accredited Investor Questionnaire from any holder that desires to participate indicating that such holder is no longer an “accredited investor,” then we will file and distribute to all holders of Original Warrants certain supplemental disclosures required by Regulation D under the Securities Act, which are not currently included in this Offer to Amend and Exercise. In that case, we would extend the Expiration Date of the Offer to Amend and Exercise, as required under the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC thereunder.


In addition, if we determine, after reviewing the representations and warranties and Accredited Investor Questionnaires of all participating warrant holders, that a valid exemption is not available from the registration requirements of applicable federal and/or state securities laws, then we may determine that it is necessary to cancel the Offer to Amend and Exercise in its entirety, and not to consummate any of the contemplated transactions, in order to comply with the requirements of applicable securities laws. In that case, all exercise payments previously received would be promptly returned to participating warrant holders, along with all Original Warrants, unexercised and outstanding pursuant to their original terms.
