Item
1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.
After
considering strategic alternatives, OncoSec Medical Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), filed a voluntary
petition for relief (the “Petition”) under the provisions of Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§
101 et seq. (the “Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Bankruptcy Court”)
on June 14, 2023. The Company’s sole subsidiary, OncoSec Medical Australia Pty, Ltd., expects to liquidate and wind down operations
under Australian law pursuant to a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation.
The
proceeding under the Petition is styled “In Re: OncoSec Medical Incorporated”. As a result of filing the Petition, a Chapter
7 trustee will be appointed by the Bankruptcy Court to administer the bankruptcy estate of the Company and to perform the duties set
forth in Section 704 of the Code. The assets of the Company will be liquidated and claims paid in accordance with the Code.
Item
2.04 Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
The
Petition filing with the Bankruptcy Court on June 14, 2023, constituted an event of default under the Convertible Promissory Note and
Security Agreement, dated November 25, 2022 (the “Note”), by and between the Company and Grand Decade Developments Limited,
a British Virgin Islands limited company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Grand Pharmaceutical Group Limited (“GDDL”), which
event of default resulted in the acceleration of the outstanding principal amount of $2,000,000 and all interest accrued to date under
the Note, which amounts, under the terms of the Note, become immediately due and payable, together with any fees or other amounts then
owing under the Note.
Item
5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers.
Dr.
Linda Shi, Dr. Robert Arch, Stephany Foster, Joon Kim, Dr. H. Kim Lyerly, Kevin Smith and Chao Zhou each tendered their resignations
as members of the Company’s Board of Directors which resignations were effective on June 14, 2023, prior to filing the Petition.
The resignations of Dr. Shi, Dr. Arch, Ms. Foster, Mr. Kim, Dr. Lyerly, Mr. Smith and Mr. Zhou are not the result of any disagreements
with the Company regarding the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Dr. Shi, Dr. Arch, Ms. Foster, Mr. Kim, Dr. Lyerly,
Mr. Smith and Mr. Zhou have all resigned due to the Company’s filing of the Petition which effectively eliminates the powers of
the Company’s Board of Directors. Following the resignations of Dr. Shi, Dr. Arch, Ms. Foster, Mr. Kim, Dr. Lyerly, Mr. Smith,
and Mr. Zhou, the Company will have no members serving on its Board of Directors.
In
addition to his resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors, Dr. Arch tendered his resignation as the Company’s President
and Chief Executive Officer effective on June 14, 2023, immediately after filing the Petition. The resignation of Dr. Arch is
not the result of any disagreement with the Company regarding the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Dr. Arch resigned
due to the filing of the Petition which effectively eliminates the powers Dr. Arch previously held on behalf of the Company in his role
as President and Chief Executive Officer. As a result, the Company no longer has any current executive officers.
