Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 23, 2025, CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) reached an agreement in principle to settle the securities class action pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (the “Court”), Courter et al. v. CytoDyn Inc. et al, Case No. C21-5190 BHS (the “Securities Class Action”). The agreement in principle provides for a payment by the Company to the class of $500,000 in cash and 49 million shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for the dismissal and release of all claims against all defendants in the Securities Class Action. The agreement is subject to final documentation, court approval, and other conditions.
There can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of the Securities Class Action, including that the final settlement agreement will be executed, that the settlement agreement, if executed, will include the terms and conditions currently anticipated by the Company, that such agreement will be approved by the Court, or that any revised settlement terms, if applicable, will be finalized by the parties and approved by the Court. A final, non-appealable closure of the litigation could take several months. The agreement in principle does not constitute an admission by the Company of any fault or liability and the Company does not admit fault or liability. If the settlement cannot be finalized by the parties or is not approved by the Court, the Company will defend the Securities Class Action vigorously and believes there are meritorious defenses and legal standards that must be met for, among other things, success by the plaintiffs on the merits. If the parties are unable to finalize the settlement, the Securities Class Action could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements are largely based on the Company’s current expectations about future events. Such forward-looking statements include, in particular, the Stipulation of Settlement resolving the Securities Class Action, the expected activity and expense required by the proposed settlement, the defendant’s ability to overcome any objections or appeals regarding the Stipulation of Settlement, and satisfactory resolution of any future litigation or other disagreements with others. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “believes,” “could,” “would,” “potentially,” “strategy,” “objectives,” “expects,” “may,” “plans,” “will,” and similar expressions or variations of these terms and similar phrases. Additionally, statements concerning future matters and other statements regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that these forward-looking statements relate to future events or the Company’s future performance and are subject to business, economic, and other risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. The reader is cautioned not to rely on these statements, which are based on current expectations of future events. For important information about these statements and the Company, including the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from the assumptions, expectations, and projections expressed in any forward-looking statements, the reader should review our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, including the section captioned “Forward-Looking Statements” and in Item 1A, as well as subsequent reports filed with the SEC. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information or future events or developments except as required by applicable law.
