Dear Fellow CytoDyn Inc. Stockholders:

We, the undersigned (the “Investor Group” or “we”) together with the Nominees (as defined below) are the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 6,087,946 shares, or approximately 1% of the outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of CytoDyn Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CYDY” or the “Company”). For the reasons set forth in the attached Proxy Statement, we believe significant changes to the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) are necessary in order to ensure that the Company is being run in a manner consistent with the best interests of its stockholders.

The Investor Group is comprised of long-term stockholders who are steadfast believers in the tremendous potential of the Company’s drug, Leronlimab, to treat HIV, cancer and autoimmune diseases. We believe that if the Company is successful in receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for Leronlimab, many lives will be saved, and tremendous value will be created for the Company’s stockholders.

We firmly believe that CYDY is deeply undervalued and that management and the Board have mishandled their stewardship of Leronlimab, thereby failing to capitalize on significant opportunities to unlock substantial value for all stockholders. As a result of their mismanagement, the Company continually posts sizeable losses despite the tremendous potential of Leronlimab.

CYDY’s growth hinges on the immediate success of Leronlimab. CYDY desperately needs leadership that can obtain regulatory approval for the drug in an expedient fashion in order to generate significantly improved financial results and, in turn, drive enhanced value of every stockholder’s investment.

For the past seven years, we have attempted to work with management to help solve the Company’s issues, yet they have continually refused to engage with us constructively.

Despite its recent problems, CYDY is fundamentally a great company with promising future prospects. Leronlimab is an extraordinary drug — a powerful monoclonal antibody therapy that has the advantage of having relatively few side effects, lower toxicity and less frequent dosing requirements, as compared to other drug therapies currently in use to treat HIV. We believe that Leronlimab has the potential for multiple other therapeutic indications, including as a treatment for various forms of cancer. We want to see Leronlimab brought to market as quickly as possible and are frustrated with CYDY’s failure to receive FDA approval. We believe that with new leadership and the appropriate execution, CYDY can obtain FDA approval and commence commercial sales of Leronlimab, finally generating revenues for stockholders.

The five director candidates we have nominated (the “Nominees”) — Dr. Thomas Errico, Dr. Bruce Patterson, Paul A. Rosenbaum, Dr. Peter Staats and Melissa Yeager — are among the most respected leaders in the relevant fields of medicine, regulatory oversight and corporate finance, and would bring fresh perspectives to the Board. Our Nominees are committed to providing effective, fact-based oversight to both management and the drug development process. Our Nominees include candidates who have strong working relationships with the FDA and have significant experience navigating the FDA’s regulatory landscape. We believe that this slate of director nominees can lead CYDY to becoming a truly world-class pharmaceutical company.

We are mindful that replacing an incumbent board of directors in its entirety represents an extraordinary step, and we take that responsibility very seriously.

We currently view CYDY as having the potential to achieve tremendous improvement in financial, operational, and stock-price performance under the guidance of a newly constituted and highly esteemed Board committed to serving the best interests of all stockholders.

If elected, our Nominees, subject to their fiduciary duties, are committed to implementing a comprehensive turnaround plan aimed at unlocking the full potential of CYDY. We look forward to

publicly releasing a comprehensive turnaround plan over the coming weeks and months. While we have confidence that our Nominees’ plans for CYDY will put the Company on the right path towards substantial stockholder value creation, there can be no assurance that the implementation of this comprehensive turnaround plan will ultimately enhance stockholder value. In the event that our Nominees comprise less than a majority of the Board following the Annual Meeting, there can be no assurance that any actions or changes proposed by our Nominees, including the implementation of any turnaround plan, will be adopted or supported by the Board.

There are currently six directors serving on the Board, all of whom have terms expiring at the Annual Meeting.1 Through the attached Proxy Statement and enclosed WHITE proxy card, we are soliciting proxies to elect only our five Nominees. Accordingly, the enclosed WHITE proxy card may only be voted for our Nominees and does not confer voting power with respect to any of the Company’s director nominees. You can only vote for the Company’s director nominees by signing and returning a proxy card provided by the Company. Stockholders should refer to the Company’s proxy statement for the names, backgrounds, qualifications and other information concerning the Company’s nominees. At the time the Investor Group submitted its formal nomination notice to the Company, the Board was comprised of five directors, and the Investor Group proposed a full slate of director nominees. Subsequently the Board increased its size to six and appointed a new director. At this time, it is unclear what slate the Board intends to nominate for election at the Annual Meeting. It is presently the intention of the Investor Group to nominate a full slate of directors, and the Investor Group reserves the right to nominate additional nominees.

We urge you to carefully consider the information contained in the attached Proxy Statement and then support our efforts by signing, dating, and returning the enclosed WHITE proxy card today. The attached Proxy Statement and the enclosed WHITE proxy card are first being furnished to the stockholders on or about                  , 2021.

If you have already voted for the incumbent management slate, you have every right to change your vote by signing, dating, and returning a later dated proxy or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

PROXY STATEMENT
OF
PAUL A. ROSENBAUM

JEFFREY P. BEATY
ARTHUR L. WILMES

PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD TODAY

Paul A. Rosenbaum (“Mr. Rosenbaum”), Jeffrey P. Beaty (“Mr. Beaty”) and Arthur L. Wilmes (“Mr. Wilmes” and, together with Mr. Rosenbaum and Mr. Beaty, the “Investor Group” or “we”) are significant stockholders of CytoDyn Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CYDY” or the “Company”), who together with the Nominees (as defined herein) beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, based on a total number of 612,875,224 Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

We are seeking to elect five nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) because we believe that the Board must be significantly reconstituted to ensure that the interests of the stockholders, the true owners of CYDY, are appropriately represented in the boardroom. We have nominated directors who have strong, relevant backgrounds and who are committed to fully exploring all opportunities to unlock stockholder value. We are seeking your support at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, scheduled to be held on                  , 2021 at             Eastern Time at                   (including any adjournments or postponements thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof, the “Annual Meeting”), for the following purposes2:

1.

Election of the Investor Group’s five director nominees, Thomas Errico, M.D., Bruce Patterson, M.D., Paul A. Rosenbaum, Peter Staats, M.D. and Melissa Yeager (each a “Nominee” and, collectively, the “Nominees”) to hold office until the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”) and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified;

2.

Ratification of the selection of Warren Averett, LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2022;

3.

A non-binding advisory vote to approve the Company’s executive compensation; and

4.

The transaction of any other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjustments thereof.

The Company has not yet set a record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”).

This Proxy Statement and the enclosed WHITE proxy card are first being furnished to stockholders on or about                  , 2021.

There are currently six directors serving on the Board, all of whom have terms expiring at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement is soliciting proxies to elect only our Nominees. Accordingly, the enclosed

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company’s proxy statement has not yet been filed with the SEC. The proposal numbers in this Proxy Statement may not correspond to the proposal numbers that will be used in the Company’s proxy statement. Certain information in this Proxy Statement will be updated after the Company’s proxy statement is filed.

WHITE proxy card may only be voted for our Nominees and does not confer voting power with respect to any of the Company’s director nominees. See the “Voting and Proxy Procedures” section of this Proxy Statement for additional information. You can only vote for the Company’s director nominees by signing and returning a proxy card provided by the Company. Stockholders should refer to the Company’s proxy statement for the names, backgrounds, qualifications, and other information concerning the Company’s nominees. If all of our Nominees are elected, they will constitute a majority of the Board. At the time the Investor Group submitted its formal nomination notice to the Company, the Board was comprised of five directors, and the Investor Group proposed a full slate of director nominees. Subsequently the Board increased its size to six and appointed a new director. At this time, it is unclear what slate the Board intends to nominate for election at the Annual Meeting. It is presently the intention of the Investor Group to nominate a full slate of directors, and the Investor Group reserves the right to nominate additional nominees.

As of the date hereof, the members of the Investor Group and the Nominees collectively beneficially own 6,087,946 shares of Common Stock (the “Group Shares”). We intend to vote all of the Group Shares FOR the election of the Nominees, [FOR/AGAINST] the ratification of the appointment of Warren Averett, LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and [FOR/AGAINST] an advisory (non-binding) proposal concerning the Company’s executive compensation program, as described herein. While we currently intend to vote all of the Group Shares in favor of the election of the Nominees, we reserve the right to vote some or all of the Group Shares for some or all of the Company’s director nominees, as we see fit, in order to achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all stockholders. We would only intend to vote some or all of the Group Shares for some or all of the Company’s director nominees in the event it were to become apparent to us, based on the projected voting results at such time, that by voting the Group Shares we could help elect the Company nominee(s) that we believe are the most qualified to serve as directors and thus help achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all stockholders. Stockholders should understand, however, that all shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed WHITE proxy card will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked.

The mailing address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 1111 Main Street, Suite 660, Vancouver, Washington 98660. Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING MADE BY THE INVESTOR GROUP ONLY AND NOT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY. WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER MATTERS TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. SHOULD OTHER MATTERS, WHICH THE INVESTOR GROUP IS NOT AWARE OF A REASONABLE TIME BEFORE THIS SOLICITATION, BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING, THE PERSONS NAMED AS PROXIES IN THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD WILL VOTE ON SUCH MATTERS IN OUR DISCRETION.

THE INVESTOR GROUP URGES YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE WHITE PROXY CARD IN FAVOR OF THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT A PROXY CARD FURNISHED BY COMPANY MANAGEMENT OR THE BOARD, YOU MAY REVOKE THAT PROXY AND VOTE ON EACH OF THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT BY SIGNING, DATING, AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD. THE LATEST DATED PROXY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS. ANY PROXY MAY BE REVOKED AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE ANNUAL MEETING BY DELIVERING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION OR A LATER DATED PROXY FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OR BY VOTING IN PERSON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

WE BELIEVE THE TIME FOR SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE IS NOW

We are steadfast believers in the tremendous potential of the Company’s drug, Leronlimab, to treat HIV, cancer and autoimmune diseases. We believe that if the Company is successful in receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for Leronlimab, many lives will be saved, and tremendous value will be created for the Company’s stockholders.

We firmly believe that CYDY is deeply undervalued and that management and the Board have mishandled their stewardship of Leronlimab, thereby failing to capitalize on significant opportunities to unlock substantial value for all stockholders. As a result of their mismanagement, the Company continually posts sizeable losses despite the tremendous potential of Leronlimab.

CYDY’s growth hinges on the immediate success of Leronlimab. The tenures of CYDY’s Chief Executive Officer, Nader Pourhassan (“Dr. Pourhassan”), and its Chairman/Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Scott Kelly (“Dr. Kelly”), have been marked by consistent failure to meet FDA expectations, leading to a poor and unsalvageable relationship between CYDY and its primary regulator. CYDY needs leadership that can obtain regulatory approval for the drug in an expedient fashion in order to generate significantly improved financial results and, in turn, drive enhanced value of every stockholder’s investment.

CYDY needs a new direction. For the above reasons, we are soliciting your support at the Annual Meeting to elect our five highly qualified Nominees. We believe these Nominees’ experience and skill will help lead the Company to vastly improved performance and that they will institute better corporate governance practices at CytoDyn.

In our view, the primary reason for CYDY’s depressed market value is the Company’s repeated failure to execute critical clinical trials and receive necessary FDA approvals despite possessing all the necessary resources. In 2020, CYDY ran two clinical trials for Leronlimab, both of which were unsuccessful due to management’s and the Board’s poor execution. The trials were ill-conceived and, as a result, consistently failed to meet their primary endpoints. In fact, the FDA’s request that the Company initiate a completely new clinical trial, rather than simply amend the current one, is further evidence that the design and implementation of CD12 was destined for failure from the start. Instead of finalizing the Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for HIV and in parallel pursuing COVID-19 trials that could succeed, CYDY under Dr. Pourhassan’s leadership has seemingly attempted to circumvent the FDA trial process and deceive stockholders about the status of Leronlimab and its future prospects.

One of the keys to a successful FDA application is an effective relationship between the applicant and the FDA, and an understanding of the expectations of the FDA and its requirements. Ineffective communication combined with stop and go application processes have led to a poor relationship with the FDA, resulting in failure to receive approvals and, thus, no revenue generation.

Dr. Pourhassan’s and Dr. Kelly’s tenures at CYDY have been marked by a consistent failure to meet FDA expectations leading to a poor and unsalvageable relationship. The FDA has repeatedly refused to authorize CYDY-led clinical trials or even authorize applications, putting the Company in an extremely precarious position from an operational and financial perspective.

The Current Board Has Been Largely Unreceptive to Stockholders’ Input

For the past seven years, we have remained patient with CYDY’s leadership as they have continued to promise that FDA approval for Leronlimab is just around the corner. During this time, we have sought to be constructive investors, attempting to work with management to help solve the Company’s issues, yet they have continually refused to accept advice from highly qualified professionals outside of their inner circle. Over recent months, it has become clear that the Company has made virtually no progress in addressing the significant managerial and operational deficiencies that have destroyed stockholder value and led to unacceptable delays.

We Believe There is a Better Path Forward for CYDY

Despite its recent problems, CYDY is fundamentally a great company with promising future prospects. Leronlimab is an extraordinary drug — a powerful monoclonal antibody therapy that has the advantage of having relatively few side effects, lower toxicity and less frequent dosing requirements, as compared to other drug therapies currently in use to treat HIV. We believe that Leronlimab has the potential for multiple other therapeutic indications, including as a treatment for various forms of cancer. We want to see Leronlimab brought to market as quickly as possible and are frustrated with CYDY’s failure to receive FDA approval. We believe that with new leadership and the appropriate execution, CYDY can obtain FDA approval and commence commercial sales of Leronlimab, finally generating revenues.

CYDY needs a new plan. We are confident you will find the slate of professionals we are nominating to be incredibly well-qualified to serve as directors of the Company. Our Nominees — Dr. Thomas Errico, Dr. Bruce Patterson, Paul A. Rosenbaum, Dr. Peter Staats and Melissa Yeager — are among the most respected leaders in the relevant fields of medicine, regulatory oversight and corporate finance, and would bring fresh perspectives to the Board. Our nominees bring substantial experience in corporate and administrative law; strategic transformation; and public company governance. Collectively, they have decades of experience as chief executive officers, senior executives, chairmen and directors of well-performing companies. Our Nominees are committed to providing effective, fact-based oversight to both management and the drug development process. Our Nominees include candidates who have strong working relationships with the FDA and have significant experience navigating the FDA’s regulatory landscape. We believe that this slate of Nominees can lead CYDY to becoming a truly world-class pharmaceutical company.

If elected, our Nominees, subject to their fiduciary duties, are committed to implementing a comprehensive turnaround plan aimed at unlocking the full potential of CYDY. We look forward to publicly releasing a comprehensive turnaround plan over the coming weeks and months. While we have confidence that our Nominees’ plans for CYDY will put the Company on the right path towards substantial stockholder value creation, there can be no assurance that the implementation of this comprehensive turnaround plan will ultimately enhance stockholder value. In the event that our Nominees comprise less than a majority of the Board following the Annual Meeting, there can be no assurance that any actions or changes proposed by our director nominees, including the implementation of any turnaround plan, will be adopted or supported by the Board.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board is currently composed of six directors, each with terms expiring at the Annual Meeting. We are seeking your support at the Annual Meeting to elect our five Nominees, Thomas Errico, M.D., Bruce K. Patterson, M.D., Paul A. Rosenbaum, Peter Staats, M.D. and Melissa A. Yeager, J.D., who, if elected at the Annual Meeting would constitute the entire Board. At the time the Investor Group submitted its formal nomination notice to the Company, the Board was comprised of five directors, and the Investor Group proposed a full slate of director nominees. Subsequently the Board increased its size to six and appointed a new director. At this time, it is unclear what slate the Board intends to nominate for election at the Annual Meeting. It is presently the intention of the Investor Group to nominate a full slate of directors, and the Investor Group reserves the right to nominate additional nominees.

THE NOMINEES

The following information sets forth the name, age, business address, present principal occupation, and employment and material occupations, positions, offices, or employments for the past five years of each of the Nominees. The nominations were made in a timely manner and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Company’s governing instruments. The specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led us to conclude that the Nominees should serve as directors of the Company are set forth above in the section entitled “Reasons for the Solicitation” and below. This information has been furnished to us by the Nominees. All of the Nominees are citizens of the United States.

Thomas Errico, M.D., age 69, is a world-class surgeon, entrepreneur, and FDA consultant, and has served as Associate Director of Pediatric Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Spine at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Center for Spinal Disorders in Miami, Florida since January 2019, where he specializes in pediatric spinal deformities. Prior to joining Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, Dr. Errico served for over two decades as Chief of the Division of Spine at NYU Langone Medical Center. While working at NYU Langone, Dr. Errico co-founded SpineCore, Inc. (“SpineCore”), a spine technology company focused on alleviating spinal pain without immobilizing spinal segments. In 2004 SpineCore was sold to Stryker Corporation (“Stryker”) where Dr. Errico remains a member of the company’s board of directors. Dr. Errico also co-founded electroCore, Inc. (“electroCore”), which specializes in neuromodulation. He led the company through venture funding before and it’s 2018 IPO. He currently serves on the company’s board of directors and is its principal investor. In 2004, Dr. Errico also co-founded K2M, a developer of innovative complex spine and minimally invasive spine technologies and techniques used by spine surgeons to treat complicated spinal pathologies.

As of the date hereof, Dr. Errico owns 2,508,705 shares of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, Dr. Patterson owns 569,242 shares of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, Mr. Rosenbaum owns 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, Dr. Staats owns 700,000 shares of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, Ms. Yeager owns 0 shares of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, Mr. Wilmes owns 90,000 shares of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, Mr. Beaty owns 919,999 shares of Common Stock. The Nominees purchased the shares on the open market, except as stated in Schedule II. For information regarding transactions in securities of the Company during the past two years by the Nominees, please see Schedule I.

The Investor Group believes that each of Dr. Errico, Mr. Rosenbaum, Dr. Staats and Ms. Yeager presently are, and if elected as a director of the Company, each would be, an “independent director” within the meaning of applicable OTC Markets listing standards applicable to board composition.

Each of the Nominees may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock owned in the aggregate by the other Nominees and the Investor Group. Each of the Nominees specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock owned by the other participants in this solicitation. For information regarding purchases and sales of securities of the Company during the past two years by the participants in this solicitation, please see Schedule I.

Other than as stated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between the Investor Group and any of the Nominees or any other person or persons pursuant to which the nomination of the Nominees described herein is to be made, other than the consent by each of the Nominees to serve as a director nominee of the Company, to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a director of the Company if elected as such at the Annual Meeting. None of the Nominees is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in any material pending legal proceedings.

If the Investor Group is successful in obtaining stockholder approval for the election of such number of the Nominees at the Annual Meeting that shall constitute a majority of the Board (a “Board Majority”), then a change of control of the Board may be deemed to have occurred under certain of the Company’s material contracts. Based on a review of the Company’s material contracts and agreements, such a change of control may trigger certain change of control provisions or payments contained therein as described below.

Pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), a change in control occurs, among other things, if a majority of the members of the Company’s Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of appointment or election. In the event the Investor Group is successful in electing a Board Majority at the Annual Meeting, a change of control under the 2012 Plan would be triggered. Under the 2012 Plan, a change in control may accelerate the vesting of outstanding options and stock appreciation rights.

Pursuant to the Company’s employment agreements entered into between the Company and its executive officers (the “Employment Agreements”), a change in control occurs, among other things, if a majority of the members of the Company’s Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to

9

the date of appointment or election. In the event the Investor Group is successful in electing a Board Majority at the Annual Meeting, a change of control under the Employment Agreements would be triggered. Under the Employment Agreements, if the executive officer’s employment is terminated under certain circumstances within twelve (12) months following a change in control of the Company, the executive officer will, in full discharge of all of the Company’s obligations to the executive officer, be entitled to receive change in control payments and severance payments.

The Investor Group has not independently verified if the copies of the agreements publicly filed by the Company with the SEC and discussed above (collectively, the “Company Agreements”) are the same as the actual executed copies of the agreements, and the analyses above are based on our review of the Company’s public SEC filings. While we are not aware of any, there may be other agreements that may be triggered by a change in control in connection with the nomination and/or election of the Nominees. The discussion of the potential impact of the nomination is based entirely upon our review of the Company Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor Group would expect the Board, consistent with its fiduciary duties, to take any and all action necessary to render inapplicable any change in control provision that would be triggered by the nomination and/or election of the Nominees under the Company Agreements, as necessary and to the extent applicable and permitted.

We do not expect that any of the Nominees will be unable to stand for election, but, in the event any Nominee is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed WHITE proxy card will be voted for substitute nominee(s), to the extent this is not prohibited under the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “Bylaws”) and applicable law. In addition, we reserve the right to nominate substitute person(s) if the Company makes or announces any changes to the Bylaws or takes or announces any other action that has, or if consummated would have, the effect of disqualifying any Nominee, to the extent this is not prohibited under the Bylaws and applicable law. In any such case, shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed WHITE proxy card will be voted for such substitute nominee(s). We reserve the right to nominate additional person(s), to the extent this is not prohibited under the Bylaws and applicable law, if the Company increases the size of the Board above its existing size. Additional nominations made pursuant to the preceding sentence are without prejudice to the position of the Investor Group that any attempt to increase the size of the current Board or to classify the Board constitutes an unlawful manipulation of the Company’s corporate machinery.

WE URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES ON THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

As discussed in further detail in the Company’s proxy statement, the Board has selected Warren Averett, LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to examine the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2022. Although the selection of independent auditors is not required to be submitted to a stockholder vote by the Company’s governance documents or applicable law, the Board has decided to ask the stockholders to ratify the selection. According to the Company’s proxy statement, if the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection.

[WE MAKE NO RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS PROPOSAL AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES [“FOR”/“AGAINST”] THIS PROPOSAL.]

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) included a provision that requires public companies to hold an advisory stockholder vote to approve or disapprove the compensation of their named executive officers. The Dodd-Frank Act also included a provision providing stockholders of a public company the opportunity to vote, on an advisory basis, on how frequently they would like the company to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of executive officers. At the 2021 Annual Meeting, CYDY’s stockholders approved the Board’s recommendation that an advisory vote on executive compensation be conducted annually. Accordingly, the Company is conducting an advisory vote to approve the compensation of its executive officers again this year. Accordingly, the Company is asking stockholders to vote for the following resolution:

[“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the executive compensation tables and accompanying footnotes and narrative discussion, is hereby approved.”]

[WE MAKE NO RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS PROPOSAL] AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES [“FOR”/“AGAINST”] THIS PROPOSAL.

VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record on the Record Date with respect to each matter to be acted on at the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who sell their shares of Common Stock before the Record Date (or acquire them without voting rights after the Record Date) may not vote such shares of Common Stock. Stockholders of record on the Record Date will retain their voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if they sell such shares of Common Stock after the Record Date. Based on publicly available information, the Investor Group believes that the only outstanding class of securities of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is the Common Stock.

Shares of Common Stock represented by properly executed WHITE proxy cards will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked and, in the absence of specific instructions, will be voted FOR the election of the Nominees, [FOR/AGAINST] the ratification of the appointment of Warren Averett, LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, [FOR/AGAINST] an advisory (non-binding) proposal concerning the Company’s executive compensation program and in the discretion of the persons named as proxies on all other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting, as described herein.

The Board is currently composed of six directors, each with terms expiring at the Annual Meeting. According to the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, the current Board intends to nominate             candidates for election at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement is soliciting proxies to elect only our Nominees. Accordingly, the enclosed WHITE proxy card may only be voted for our Nominees and does not confer voting power with respect to the Company’s nominees. The participants in this solicitation intend to vote the Group Shares in favor of the Nominees. Stockholders should refer to the Company’s proxy statement for the names, backgrounds, qualifications and other information concerning the Company’s nominees. In the event that some of the Nominees are elected, there can be no assurance that the Company nominee(s) who get the most votes and are elected to the Board will choose to serve as on the Board with the Nominees who are elected.

While we currently intend to vote all of the Group Shares in favor of the election of the Nominees, we reserve the right to vote some or all of the Group Shares for some or all of the Company’s director nominees, as we see fit, in order to achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all stockholders. We would only intend to vote some or all of the Group Shares for some or all of the Company’s director nominees in the event it were to become apparent to us, based on the projected voting results at such time, that by voting the Group Shares we could help elect the Company nominee(s) that we believe are the most qualified to serve as directors and thus help achieve a Board composition that we believe is in the best interest of all stockholders. Stockholders should understand, however, that all shares of Common Stock represented by the enclosed WHITE proxy card will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked.

QUORUM; BROKER NON-VOTES; DISCRETIONARY VOTING

A quorum is the minimum number of shares of Common Stock that must be represented at a duly called meeting in person or by proxy in order to legally conduct business at the meeting. For the Annual Meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote will be considered a quorum for the transaction of business.

Abstentions and “broker non-votes,” if any, will be considered present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. However, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (a “broker non-vote”). Under applicable rules, your broker will not have discretionary authority to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting on any of the proposals.

If you are a stockholder of record, you must deliver your vote by mail, attend the Annual Meeting in person and vote, vote by Internet or vote by telephone in order to be counted in the determination of a quorum.

If you are a beneficial owner, your broker will vote your shares pursuant to your instructions, and those shares will count in the determination of a quorum. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to

13

vote on any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, unless you vote via proxy card or provide instructions to your broker, your shares of Common Stock will count for purposes of attaining a quorum but will not be voted on the proposals.

VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL

Election of Directors — The             nominees for director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected as directors of the Company, provided that a quorum is present. With respect to the election of directors, only votes cast “FOR” a nominee will be counted. Proxy cards specifying that votes should be withheld with respect to one or more nominees will result in those nominees receiving fewer votes but will not count as a vote against the nominees. Neither an abstention nor a broker non-vote will count as a vote cast “FOR” or “AGAINST” a director nominee. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Ratification of the Appointment of Accounting Firm — According to the Company’s proxy statement, assuming that a quorum is present, the appointment of Warren Averett, LLC as CYDY’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2022 will be approved if the votes cast “FOR” the proposal exceed the votes cast “AGAINST” the proposal.

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation — According to the Company’s proxy statement, although the vote is non-binding, assuming that a quorum is present, the compensation of GCP’s named executive officers will be approved, on an advisory, non-binding basis, if the votes cast “FOR” the proposal exceed the votes cast “AGAINST” the proposal.

Under applicable Delaware law, none of the holders of Common Stock is entitled to appraisal rights in connection with any matter to be acted on at the Annual Meeting. If you sign and submit your WHITE proxy card without specifying how you would like your shares voted, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Investor Group’s recommendations specified herein and in accordance with the discretion of the persons named on the WHITE proxy card with respect to any other matters that may be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Stockholders of the Company may revoke their proxies at any time prior to exercise by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy) or by delivering a written notice of revocation. The delivery of a subsequently dated proxy which is properly completed will constitute a revocation of any earlier proxy. The revocation may be delivered either to the Investor Group in care of Okapi Partners at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement or to the Company at 1111 Main Street, Suite 660, Vancouver, Washington 98660 or any other address provided by the Company. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to the Company, we request that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations be mailed to the Investor Group in care of Okapi Partners at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement so that we will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately determine if and when proxies have been received from the holders of record on the Record Date of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Additionally, Okapi Partners may use this information to contact stockholders who have revoked their proxies in order to solicit later dated proxies for the election of the Nominees.

IF YOU WISH TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINEES TO THE BOARD, PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN PROMPTLY THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Okapi Partners will solicit proxies from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders. The Investor Group has requested banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward all solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares they hold of record. CCTV Proxy Group, LLC, an entity controlled by Paul Rosenbaum (“CCTV”), will reimburse these record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in so doing. It is anticipated that Okapi Partners will employ approximately [      ] persons to solicit stockholders for the Annual Meeting.

The entire expense of soliciting proxies is being borne by CCTV.

The actual amount could be higher or lower depending on the facts and circumstances arising in connection with any solicitation. CCTV may seek reimbursement from the Company of all expenses it incurs in connection with this solicitation but does not intend to submit the question of such reimbursement to a vote of security holders of the Company.
