Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed by CytoDyn Inc. (“CytoDyn” or the “Company”) in order to disclose the final voting results for the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on November 24, 2021 as provided by Michael Barbera of First Coast Results, the independent Inspector of Election for the Annual Meeting (the “Inspector of Election”).

 

ITEM 5.03    

Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As described in more detail under Item 5.07 of this Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Charter”) to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 800,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. The material terms of the Amendment are summarized under the heading “Proposal No. 4 — Approval Of Amendment To Certificate Of Incorporation” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”).

The Amendment became effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 24, 2021. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 5.07    

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company voted on the following proposals, each of which is more fully described in the Proxy Statement:

 

  1.

To elect six (6) directors to serve on the Board of Directors until the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal;

 

  2.

To ratify, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the selection of Warren Averett, LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2022;

 

  3.

To approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, our named executive officer compensation; and

 

  4.

To approve a proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 800,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.

On November 24, 2021, the Inspector of Election issued its final report which certified the final voting results for the Annual Meeting. Set forth below are the final voting results as provided by the Inspector of Election.

Each stockholder of record is entitled to one vote per share of common stock. On September 1, 2021, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were 651,746,095 votes underlying the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy were holders of common stock representing an aggregate of 491,052,892 votes, or 75.34% of the voting power underlying the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the Record Date, constituting a quorum. Of the shares present at the Annual Meeting, there were 99,404,642 shares of common stock that were not voted by stockholders with respect to proposals 1 and 3. Since these proposals are non-discretionary proposals under the NYSE rules, brokers could not vote such shares with respect to these proposals.
