Item 5.08

Shareholder Director Nominations

On July 10, 2019, the Board of Directors of Aravive, Inc. (the “Company”) approved September 12, 2019 as the date of its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Board also approved July 17, 2019 as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting last year and instead held a special meeting of stockholders in October 2018, the Company is required to provide a deadline for the receipt of stockholder proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2019 Annual Meeting. The deadline for nominations or proposals, including any notice on Schedule 14N, will be July 26, 2019. Any proposal submitted to the Company after July 26, 2019 will not be considered timely and will be excluded from the Company’s proxy materials. Proposals of stockholders must also comply with rules of the Securities and Exchange (the “SEC”) regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in proxy materials and the Company may omit any proposal from its proxy materials that does not comply with the SEC’s rules.
