CYTODYN INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AUGUST 31, 2021

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Organization

CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002 under the name RexRay Corporation and, effective August 27, 2015, reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company is a late-stage biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. Leronlimab is in a class of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies designed to address unmet medical needs for which the Company is focused on developing treatments in the areas of human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”), cancer, immunology, and novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”).

Leronlimab belongs to a class of HIV therapies known as entry inhibitors which block HIV from entering and infecting specific cells. For cancer and immunology, the CCR5 receptor also appears to be implicated in human metastasis and in immune-mediated illnesses such as triple-negative breast cancer, other metastatic solid tumor cancers, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). For COVID-19, the Company believes leronlimab may be shown to provide therapeutic benefit by enhancing the immune response and also mitigating the “cytokine storm” that leads to morbidity and mortality in patients experiencing this syndrome.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CytoDyn Operations Inc., and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, summary of significant accounting policies and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021, for the year ended May 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). Accordingly, certain disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and normally included in Annual Reports on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted from this report; however, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

It is the opinion of management that all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income or loss; therefore, its net income or loss is identical to its comprehensive income or loss. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year and prior quarter amounts shown in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, or net cash flows as previously reported.

Going Concern

The consolidated accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company

7

incurred a net loss of approximately $30.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $542.7 million as of August 31, 2021. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its product candidate, leronlimab, obtain approval to commercialize leronlimab from regulatory agencies, continue to outsource manufacturing of leronlimab, and ultimately achieve initial revenues and attain profitability. The Company continues to engage in significant research and development activities related to leronlimab for multiple indications and expects to incur significant research and development expenses in the future primarily related to its clinical trials. These research and development activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional funding from other traditional sources. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information, such as the economic considerations related to the impact that the recent coronavirus disease could have on our significant accounting estimates and assumptions. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various market and other relevant, appropriate assumptions. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, those relating to stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, research and development expenses, determination of right of use assets under lease transactions and related lease obligations, commitments and contingencies, and the assumptions used to value warrants, warrant modifications and useful lives for property and equipment and related depreciation calculations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash

Cash is maintained at federally insured financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Balances in excess of federally insured limits as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021 approximated $6.3 million and $33.7 million, respectively.

Identified Intangible Assets

The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets such as intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group is less than its carrying value, the asset is considered impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no impairment charges during the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020. The value of the Company’s patents would be significantly impaired by any adverse developments as they relate to the clinical trials pursuant to the patents acquired as discussed in Note 7.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for and recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company’s revenue is generated solely through the sale of leronlimab. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

8

Contracts with customers are generally in the form of a written purchase order, that outlines the promised goods and the agreed upon price. Such orders are often accompanied by a master supply or distribution agreement that establishes the terms and conditions, rights of the parties, delivery terms, and pricing. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including creditworthiness of the customer.

For the Company’s sole contract to date, the customer submits purchase orders for the purchase of a specified quantity of leronlimab vials; therefore, the delivery of the ordered quantity per the purchase order is accounted for as one performance obligation. The Company does not offer discounts or rebates.

The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon rates per vial in the purchase order or master supply agreement applied to the quantity of leronlimab vials that was requested by the customer in the purchase order. As the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation, the delivery of the product to the customer, all of the transaction price is allocated to the one performance obligation. Therefore, upon delivery of the product quantity equal to the quantity requested in the purchase order, there are no remaining performance obligations. The Company’s shipping and handling activities are considered a fulfillment cost. The Company has elected to exclude all sales and value added taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. The Company has not adjusted the transaction price for significant financing since the time period between the transfer of goods and payment is less than one year.

The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer. Management applies judgment in evaluating when a customer obtains control of the promised good which is generally when the product is delivered to the customer. The Company’s customer contract includes a standard assurance warranty to guarantee that its products comply with agreed specifications. The Company grants a conditional right of return of product in the customer’s inventory upon an adverse regulatory ruling. The Company continually evaluates the probability of such occurrence and if necessary, will defer revenue recognized based on its estimate of the right of return, which takes into account the probability that an adverse ruling will occur and its estimate of product in the customer’s inventory.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s s revenues are derived solely from the sale of leronlimab vials. The Company believes the disaggregation of revenues, as seen on the consolidated statement of operations, is an appropriate level of detail for its primary activity.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s performance obligations for its contracts with customers are satisfied at a point in time through the delivery of leronlimab vials to its customer. Accordingly, the Company did not have any contract assets or liabilities as of August 31, 2021. The Company did not have revenue during the three months ended August 31, 2020 and did not have any contract assets or liabilities as of that date. For all periods presented, the Company did not recognize revenue from amounts that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period. In addition, for all periods presented, there was no revenue recognized in a reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

Performance Obligations

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under the Company’s contract, each unit of product delivered to the customer represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future deliveries of the product are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

9

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Clinical trial costs incurred through third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed. Contingent milestone payments that are due to third parties under research and development collaboration arrangements or other contractual agreements are expensed when the milestone conditions are probable and the amount of payment is reasonably estimable. See Notes 8 and 9.

Inventory

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. Inventories consist of raw materials, bulk drug substance, and drug product in unlabeled vials to be used for commercialization of the Company’s biologic, leronlimab, which is in the regulatory approval process. The consumption of raw materials during production is classified as work-in-progress until saleable. Once it is determined to be in saleable condition, following regulatory approval, inventory is classified as finished goods. Inventory is evaluated for recoverability by considering the likelihood that revenue will be obtained from the future sale of the related inventory, in light of the status of the product within the regulatory approval process.

The Company evaluates its inventory levels on a quarterly basis and writes down inventory that has become obsolete or has a cost in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory quantities in excess of expected requirements. In assessing the lower of cost or net realizable value for pre-launch inventory, the Company relies on independent analyses provided by third parties knowledgeable about the range of likely commercial prices comparable to current comparable commercial product.

The Company capitalizes inventories procured or produced in preparation for product launches sufficient to support estimated initial market demand. Typically, capitalization of such inventory begins when the results of clinical trials have reached a status sufficient to support regulatory approval, uncertainties regarding ultimate regulatory approval have been significantly reduced, and the Company has determined it is probable that these capitalized costs will provide future economic benefit in excess of capitalized costs. The material factors considered by the Company in evaluating these uncertainties include the receipt and analysis of positive Phase 3 clinical trial results for the underlying product candidate, results from meetings with the relevant regulatory authorities prior to the filing of regulatory applications, and status of the Company’s regulatory applications. The Company closely monitors the status of the product within the regulatory review and approval process, including all relevant communications with regulatory authorities. If the Company is aware of any specific material risks or contingencies other than the normal regulatory review and approval process or if there are any specific issues identified relating to safety, efficacy, manufacturing, marketing or labeling, the related inventory may no longer qualify for capitalization.

Anticipated future sales, shelf lives, and expected approval date are considered when evaluating realizability of capitalized inventory. The shelf-life of a product is determined as part of the regulatory approval process; however, in assessing whether to capitalize pre-launch inventory, the Company considers the product stability data of all of the pre-approval inventory procured or produced to date to determine whether there is adequate shelf life. As inventories approach their shelf-life expiration, the Company may perform additional stability testing to determine if the inventory is still viable, which can result in an extension of its shelf-life. Further, in addition to performing additional stability testing, certain raw materials inventory may be sold in its then current condition prior to reaching expiration.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term and long-term lease liabilities, and short-term and long-term debt. As of August 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Short-term and long-term debt are reported at amortized cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets which approximate fair value. The remaining financial instruments are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts that approximate current fair values.

From time to time, the Company may have derivative financial instruments which are recorded at fair value, as required by U.S. GAAP. Derivative financial instruments consist of financial instruments that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g., interest rate, security price, variable conversion rate or other variables), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as their instruments are recorded as a derivative liability, at fair value, and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as it relates to warrant liability, with changes in fair value reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The fair value hierarchy specifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

● Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.

● Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology which are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. These Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that cannot be corroborated with observable market data.

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards established by the fair market value of the instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions including stock price volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates, as of the grant date. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, for stock-based awards with defined vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service periods, when designated milestones have been achieved or when pre-defined performance conditions are met. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and will revise its estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested forfeitures at 0% for all periods presented. Periodically, the Company will issue restricted common stock to executives or third parties as compensation for services rendered. Such stock awards are valued at fair market value on the effective date of the Company’s obligation.

The Company periodically issues stock options or warrants to consultants and advisors for various services. The Black-Scholes option pricing model, as described more fully above, is used to measure the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of issuance. The Company recognizes the compensation expense associated with the equity instruments over the requisite service or vesting period.

Debt

The Company has historically issued promissory notes at a discount and has incurred direct debt issuance costs. Debt discount and issuance costs are netted against the debt and amortized over the life of the convertible promissory note in accordance with ASC 470-35, Debt Subsequent Measurement.

Offering Costs

The Company periodically incurs direct incremental costs associated with the sale of equity securities as fully described in Note 10. The costs are recorded as a component of equity upon receipt of the proceeds.

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted for preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share would include the weighted average common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share.

The table below shows the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise, vesting or conversion of outstanding options, warrants, unvested restricted stock including those subject to performance conditions, convertible preferred stock (including undeclared dividends), and convertible notes that were not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020:

	Three months ended August 31,
(in thousands)	2021	2020
Stock options, warrants & unvested restricted stock	60,141	86,704
Convertible notes payable	12,000	7,801
Convertible preferred stock	33,858	30,325

Income Taxes

The Company computes its quarterly taxes under the effective tax rate method based on applying an anticipated annual effective rate to its year-to-date income, except for discrete items. Income taxes for discrete items are computed and recorded in the period that the specific transaction occurs.

The Company’s net tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, was zero. The Company’s effective tax rate of 0% differed from the statutory rate of 21% because the Company has a full valuation allowance as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021, as management does not consider it more than likely than not that the benefits from the net deferred taxes will be realized.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The objective of the standard was to improve areas of U.S. GAAP by removing certain exceptions permitted by ASC 740 and clarifying existing guidance to facilitate consistent application. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on June 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not impact the Company’s statement of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or financial statement disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models that separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted on June 1, 2021 ASU No. 2020-06 effective for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU No. 2020-06 did not affect the Company’s statement of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or financials statement disclosures.

Note 3. Inventories

The Company’s pre-launch inventories consist of raw materials purchased for commercial production and work-in-progress inventory related to the substantially completed commercial production of pre-launch inventories of leronlimab to support the Company’s expected approval of the product as a combination therapy for HIV patients in the United States. Work-in-progress consists of bulk drug substance, which is the manufactured drug stored in bulk storage, and drug product, which is the manufactured drug in unlabeled vials.

Inventories as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021 are presented below:

(in thousands)	August 31, 2021		May 31, 2021
Raw materials	$	26,034	$	28,085
Work-in-progress		65,524		65,394
Total	$	91,558	$	93,479

The Company believes that material uncertainties related to the ultimate regulatory approval of leronlimab for commercial sale have been significantly reduced based on positive data from its Phase 3 clinical trial for leronlimab as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients, as well as information gathered from meetings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) related to its Biologic License Application (“BLA”) for this indication. The Company submitted the last two portions of the BLA (clinical and manufacturing) with the FDA in April 2020 and May 2020. In July 2020, the Company received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA regarding its BLA submission requesting additional information. In August and September 2020, the FDA provided written responses to the Company’s questions and met telephonically with key Company personnel and its clinical research organization concerning its BLA to expedite the resubmission of its BLA.

The deficiencies cited by the FDA in its July 2020 Refusal to File letter consisted of administrative deficiencies, omissions, corrections to data presentation, and related analyses and clarifications of manufacturing processes.

The Company is working with new consultants to cure the BLA deficiencies and resubmit the BLA in order to enable the FDA to perform their substantive review. The Company commenced its resubmission of the BLA in July 2021 and currently expects it to be completed in the first calendar quarter of 2022. The Company anticipates that when the FDA completes their review, leronlimab will be approved and market acceptance of leronlimab as a treatment for HIV will be forthcoming, enabling us to realize the amount of pre-launch inventory on-hand prior to shelf-life expiration. Accordingly, management believes the Company will realize future economic benefit in excess of the carrying value of its pre-launch inventory.

The expiration of remaining shelf-life of the Company’s inventories consists of the following as of August 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Expiration period ending August 31,	Remaining shelf-life		Raw materials		Work-in-progress bulk drug product		Work-in-progress finished drug product in vials		Total inventories
2022	0 to 12 months	$	4,547	$	-	$	-	$	4,547
2023	12 or 24 months		17,457		-		-		17,457
2024	24 to 36 months		550		-		-		550
2025	36 to 48 months		1,626		-		45,236		46,862
2026	48 to 60 months		704		-		-		704
Thereafter	60 or more months		2,977		20,288		-		23,265
Total inventories			27,861		20,288		45,236		93,385
Inventories reserved			(1,827)		-		-		(1,827)
Total inventories, net		$	26,034	$	20,288	$	45,236	$	91,558

When the remaining shelf-life of drug product inventory is less than 12 months, it is likely that it will not be accepted by potential customers. However, as inventories approach their shelf-life expiration, the Company may perform

13

additional stability testing to determine if the inventory is still viable, which can result in an extension of its shelf-life. Further, in addition to performing additional stability testing, certain raw materials inventory may be sold in its then current condition prior to reaching expiration. If the Company determines it is not likely shelf-life will be able to be extended or the inventory cannot be sold prior to expiration, the Company will write down the inventory to its net realizable value. For the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized expense related to the write-down of obsolete inventory of $1.1 million and none, respectively.

Note 4. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

As of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021, the accounts payable balance was approximately $65.9 million at each period end. As of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021, two of the Company’s vendors accounted for approximately 72% and 15% and 72% and 14%, respectively, of the total balance of accounts payable.

The components of accrued liabilities were as follows as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021:

	As of
(in thousands)	August 31, 2021		May 31, 2021
Accrued compensation and related expense	$	956	$	4,005
Accrued legal settlement and fees		1,216		11,008
Accrued other liabilities		4,719		4,060
Total accrued liabilities	$	6,891	$	19,073

As of August 31, 2021, the approximately $1.2 million of accrued legal settlement and fees related entirely to accrued legal fees. As of May 31, 2021, the approximately $11.0 million of accrued legal settlement and fees was comprised of approximately $10.6 million related to legal settlements, and the remaining amount related to accrued legal fees.

Any dividends paid by the Company will first be paid to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock prior and in preference to any payment or distribution to holders of common stock. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock are cumulative, and will accrue and be compounded annually, whether or not declared and whether or not there are any profits, surplus or other funds or assets of the Company legally available therefor. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock does not have redemption rights. Dividends, if declared by the Board, are payable to holders in arrears on December 31 of each year. Subject to the provisions of applicable Delaware law, the holder may elect to be paid in cash or in restricted shares of common stock at the rate of $0.50 per share.

Long-term Convertible Note—November 2020 Note

On November 10, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note with a two-year term to an institutional accredited investor in the initial principal amount of $28.5 million (the “November 2020 Note”). The Company received consideration of $25.0 million, reflecting an original issue discount of $3.4 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million. The November 2020 Note is secured by all the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.

During the year ended May 31, 2021 and subsequent to the issuance of the November 2020 Note, the Company and the institutional investor entered into separately negotiated agreements whereby portions of the November 2020 Note were portioned into new notes, and the November 2020 Note was reduced by the balance of the new notes. The new notes were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock during the year ended May 31, 2021. Please refer to Note 5, Convertible Instruments, in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K for additional discussion.

Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Note at an annual rate of 10%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest will accrue at the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, upon any event of default, the investor may accelerate the outstanding balance payable under the November 2020 Note; upon such acceleration, the outstanding balance will increase automatically by 15%, 10% or 5%, depending on the nature of the event of default.

The investor may convert all or any part the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Note into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and volume and ownership limitations specified in the November 2020 Note. In addition to standard anti-dilution adjustments, the conversion price of the November 2020 Note is subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price will be automatically reduced to equal the effective price per share in any new offering by the Company of equity securities that have registration rights, are registered or become registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The November 2020 Note provides for liquidated damages

16

upon failure to deliver common stock within specified timeframes and requires the Company to maintain a share reservation of 6.0 million shares of common stock.

On June 11, 2021, June 21, 2021 and June 30, 2021, in satisfaction of the June 2021 debt redemption amount, the Company and the investor entered into separately negotiated exchange agreements, pursuant to which the November 2020 Note was partitioned into new notes (the “June 2021 Partitioned Notes”) with a principal balance equal to $6.0 million. The Company and the holder of the November 2020 Note agreed to defer the remaining $1.5 million June 2021 debt redemption amount. The outstanding balance of the November 2020 Note was reduced by the June 2021 Partitioned Notes, and the Company and the investor exchanged the June 2021 Partitioned Notes for approximately 4.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

On July 14, 2021 and July 27, 2021, in satisfaction of the July 2021 debt reduction amount, the Company and the November 2020 Note holder entered into exchange agreements, pursuant to which the November 2020 Note was partitioned into new notes (the “July 2021 Partitioned Notes”) with a principal amount equal to $4.0 million. The Company and the holder of the November 2020 Note agreed to defer the remaining $3.5 million July 2021 debt redemption amount. The outstanding balance of the November 2020 Note was reduced by the July 2021 Partitioned Notes. The Company and the investor exchanged the July 2021 Partitioned Notes for approximately 3.3 million shares of common stock.

On August 4, 2021, August 16, 2021 and August 30, 2021, in satisfaction of the August 2021 debt reduction amount, the Company and the November 2020 Note holder entered into exchange agreements, pursuant to which the remaining principal and accrued balance of the November 2020 Note was partitioned into new notes (the “August 2021 Partitioned Notes”) with a principal amount equal to approximately $4.9 million. The Company and the holder of the November 2020 Note agreed to defer the remaining approximately $2.6 million August 2021 debt reduction amount. The Company and the investor exchanged the August 2021 Partitioned Notes for approximately 4.4 million shares of common stock. Following the redemption, the November 2020 Note has been fully satisfied and there is no outstanding balance as of August 31, 2021.

In connection with the June 2021 Partitioned Notes, July 2021 Partitioned Notes, and August 2021 Partitioned Notes, the Company analyzed the restructured notes for potential requirement of debt extinguishment accounting under ASC 470, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments. The Company concluded debt extinguishment accounting treatment to be necessary and accordingly recorded aggregate debt extinguishment loss of approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021, as the difference between the fair market value of the shares issued and the carrying value of the debt retired, which included the amortization of the relative debt discount and issuance costs.

Amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs associated with the November 2020 Note during the three months ended August 31, 2021 amounted to approximately $0.1 million recorded as interest expense.

Long-term Convertible Note—April 2, 2021 Note

On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note with a two-year term with the holder of the November 2020 Note in the initial principal amount of $28.5 million (the “April 2, 2021 Note”). The Company received consideration of $25.0 million, reflecting an original issue discount of $3.4 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million. The April 2, 2021 Note is secured by all the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.

Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note at an annual rate of 10%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest will accrue at the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, upon any event of default, the investor may accelerate the outstanding balance payable under the April 2, 2021 Note; upon such acceleration, the outstanding balance will increase automatically by 15%, 10% or 5%, depending on the nature of the event of default.

The investor may convert all or any part the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain

17

adjustments and volume and ownership limitations specified in the April 2, 2021 Note. In addition to standard anti-dilution adjustments, the conversion price of the April 2, 2021 Note is subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price will be automatically reduced to equal the effective price per share in any new offering by the Company of equity securities that have registration rights, are registered or become registered under the Securities Act. The April 2, 2021 Note provides for liquidated damages upon failure to deliver common stock within specified timeframes and requires the Company to maintain a share reservation of 6.0 million shares of common stock.

The investor may redeem any portion of the April 2, 2021 Note, at any time beginning six months after the issue date, upon three trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $3.5 million. The April 2, 2021 Note requires the Company to satisfy its redemption obligations in cash within three trading days of the Company’s receipt of such notice. The Company may prepay the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note, in part or in full, plus a 15% premium, at any time upon 15 trading days’ notice. In addition, beginning in the month of May 2021 and for each of the following five months, the Company is obligated to reduce the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note by $7.5 million per month (the “Debt Reduction Amount”). Payments the Company makes under the November 2020 and April 23, 2021 Notes may be applied toward the payment of each Debt Reduction Amount. These payments were not subject to the 15% prepayment premium, which would otherwise be triggered if the Company were to make payments against such notes exceeding the allowed maximum monthly redemption amount. Consistent with ASC-470-50-40-10, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company will assess the restructuring of the outstanding agreements with the investor as either a debt modification or debt extinguishment through performance of the 10% cash flow test. The Company will assess if the change in present value of future cash flows is less than 10% for all modifications, and therefore, accounted for the restructuring as a debt modification.

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement and the April 2, 2021 Note, the Company must obtain the investor’s consent before assuming additional debt with aggregate net proceeds to the Company of less than $50.0 million. In the event of any such approval, the outstanding principal balance of the April 2, 2021 Note will increase automatically by 5% upon the issuance of such additional debt.

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-258944) with the SEC on August 19, 2021, which was declared effective on October 6, 2021, registering a number of shares of common stock sufficient to convert the entire principal balance of the April 2, 2021 Note and the April 23, 2021 Note described below.

The embedded conversion feature in the April 2, 2021 Note was analyzed under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine if it achieved equity classification or required bifurcation as a derivative instrument. The embedded conversion feature was considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and met the conditions for equity classification. Accordingly, the embedded conversion feature does not require bifurcation from the host instrument. The Company determined there was no beneficial conversion feature since the effective conversion rate was greater than the market value of the Company’s common stock upon issuance. Certain default put provisions were not considered to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument, but the Company concluded that the value of these default put provisions was de minimis. The Company evaluates the value of the default put provisions each reporting period to determine if the value becomes material to the financial statements.

Amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs associated with the April 2, 2021 Note during the three months ended August 31, 2021 was approximately $0.4 million. The unamortized discount and issuance costs balance for the April 2, 2021 Note is approximately $2.8 million as of August 31, 2021. The accrued interest balance for the April 2, 2021 Note is approximately $1.2 million as of August 31, 2021, which included approximately $0.7 million of interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2021. The outstanding balance on the April 2, 2021 Note, including accrued interest, was approximately $29.7 million as of August 31, 2021.

The Company and the holder of the April 2, 2021 Note agreed to defer the September 2021 Debt Redemption Amount of $7.5 million.

Long-term Convertible Note—April 23, 2021 Note

On April 23, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note with a two-year term to an institutional accredited investor affiliated with the holder of the November 2020 and April 2, 2021 Notes in the initial principal amount of $28.5 million (the “April 23, 2021 Note”). The Company received consideration of $25.0 million, reflecting an original issue discount of $3.4 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million. The April 23, 2021 Note is secured by all the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.

Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the April 23, 2021 Note at an annual rate of 10%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest will accrue at the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, upon any event of default, the investor may accelerate the outstanding balance payable under the April 23, 2021 Note; upon such acceleration, the outstanding balance will increase automatically by 15%, 10% or 5%, depending on the nature of the event of default. The events of default are listed in Section 4 of the April 23, 2021 Note filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 29, 2021 and incorporated by reference.

The investor may convert all or any part the outstanding balance of the April 23, 2021 Note into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and volume and ownership limitations specified in the April 23, 2021 Note. In addition to standard anti-dilution adjustments, the conversion price of the April 23, 2021 Note is subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price will be automatically reduced to equal the effective price per share in any new offering by the Company of equity securities that have registration rights, are registered or become registered under the Securities Act. The April 23, 2021 Note provides for liquidated damages upon failure to deliver common stock within specified timeframes and requires the Company to maintain a share reservation of 6.0 million shares of common stock.

The investor may redeem any portion of the April 23, 2021 Note, at any time beginning six months after the issue date, upon three trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $7.0 million. The April 23, 2021 Note requires the Company to satisfy its redemption obligations in cash within three trading days of the Company’s receipt of such notice. The Company may prepay the outstanding balance of the April 23, 2021 Note, in part or in full, plus a 15% premium, at any time upon 15 trading days’ notice.

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement and the April 23, 2021 Note, the Company must obtain the investor’s consent before assuming additional debt with aggregate net proceeds to the Company of less than $75.0 million. In the event of any such approval, the outstanding principal balance of the April 23, 2021 Note will increase automatically by 5% upon the issuance of such additional debt.

The embedded conversion feature in the April 23, 2021 Note was analyzed under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine if it achieved equity classification or required bifurcation as a derivative instrument. The embedded conversion feature was considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and met the conditions for equity classification. Accordingly, the embedded conversion feature does not require bifurcation from the host instrument. The Company determined there was no beneficial conversion feature since the effective conversion rate was greater than the market value of the Company’s common stock upon issuance. Certain default put provisions were not considered to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument, but the Company concluded that the value of these default put provisions was de minimis. The Company evaluates the value of the default put provisions each reporting period to determine if the value becomes material to the financial statements.

Amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs associated with the April 23, 2021 Note during the three months ended August 31, 2021 was approximately $0.4 million. The unamortized discount and issuance costs balance for the April 23, 2021 Note was approximately $2.9 million as of August 31, 2021. The accrued interest balance for the April 23, 2021 Note was approximately $1.0 million at August 31, 2021, which included approximately $0.7 million of interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2021. The outstanding balance on the April 23, 2021 Note, including accrued interest, was approximately $29.5 million as of August 31, 2021.

Note 6. Equity Awards and Warrants

The Company has one active stock-based equity plan at August 31, 2021, the CytoDyn Inc. Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) and one stock-based equity plan that is no longer active, but under which certain prior awards remain outstanding. The 2012 Plan coverered a total of 50 million shares of common stock. Effective June 1, 2021, the amount covered and available shares under the 2012 Plan increased approximately by 6.3 million shares resulting from a provision in the 2012 Plan under which the total number of shares available to be issued automatically increases on the first day of each fiscal year in an amount equal to 1% of the total outstanding shares on the last day of the prior fiscal year, unless the Board determines otherwise before the fiscal yearend. As of August 31, 2021, there were approximately 26.1 million shares remaining available for future stock-based grants under the 2012 Plan.

Stock Options and Other Equity Awards

During the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company granted stock options, covering a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock, to employees with an exercise price of $1.32 per share. These stock options vest in three equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date and have a ten-year term and a grant date fair value of $1.00 per share.

During the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company issued approximately 0.3 million shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options. The stated exercise price was $0.63 per share, which resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $0.2 million to the Company.

During the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company issued approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock in connection with the vesting of performance stock units (“PSUs”) awarded in June 2020. The PSUs were subject to the Compensation Committee’s determination of the level of achievement of certain performance conditions set forth in the respective award agreements. The original awards covered a total of 4.35 million PSUs, of which approximately 3.9 million PSUs were forfeited. In connection with the approximate 0.4 million shares of common stock that vested, the Company recognized approximately $1.3 million in stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021.

During the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company issued approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock in connection with the time-based vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The Company incurred $0.3 million in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended August 31, 2021 related to RSUs. Also, during the three months ended August 31, 2021, certain members of management received shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of a portion of their cash bonus for services in fiscal year 2021 totaling approximately 0.2 million shares of common stock. The Company recognized $0.3 million of expense for these shares in lieu of cash bonus during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021.

Warrants

In connection with private warrant exchange agreements entered into during the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company issued a total of approximately 0.7 million shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants for the purchase of 0.7 million shares issued in 2018 and 2019. The stated exercise price of the original warrants ranged from $0.45 to $1.35 per share. Gross proceeds of the private warrant exchange transactions totaled approximately $0.5 million. See Note 10 below for additional information.

Compensation expense related to stock options and warrants, for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, totaled approximately $2.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Additionally, during the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company settled a dispute in part by the issuance of warrants covering 1.6 million shares of common stock that expire in seven years and have a stated exercise price of $0.40 per share.

Note 8. License Agreements

The Company has two license agreements with a third-party licensor covering the licensor’s “system know-how” technology with respect to the Company’s use of proprietary cell lines to manufacture new leronlimab material. The Company accrues annual license fees of £0.6 million (approximately $0.8 million utilizing current exchange rates), which fees are payable annually in December. Future annual license fees and royalty rate will vary depending on whether the Company manufactures leronlimab, utilizes the third-party licensor as a contract manufacturer, or utilizes an independent party as a contract manufacturer. The licensor does not charge an annual license fee when it serves as the

21

manufacturer. In addition, the Company will incur royalties of up to 0.75% to 2.0% of net sales, depending on who serves as the manufacturer, when the Company commences its first commercial sale; such royalties will continue for the duration of the license agreement. As of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021, the Company recorded a prepaid asset of approximately $0.1 million related to this arrangement.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

There were no material changes in commitments during the three months ended August 31, 2021. Please refer to Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, in the 2021 Form 10-K for additional information with regard to the Company’s commitments.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings. The Company recognizes accruals for such proceedings to the extent a loss is determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The best estimate of a loss within a possible range is accrued; however, if no estimate in the range is more probable than another, then the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If it is determined that a material loss is not probable but reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the possible loss is disclosed. It is not possible to determine the outcome of proceedings that have not been concluded, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Company, as the outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and the outcomes could differ significantly from recognized accruals. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a recognized accrual or if an accrual had not been made, could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of August 31, 2021, the Company did not record any legal accruals related to the outcomes of the matters described below.

Delaware Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit

On April 24, 2020, certain stockholders of the Company (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a derivative action in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”), alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment against the Company’s CEO, former CFOs, CMO, and certain current and former members of the Board (the “Defendants”), in connection with certain equity awards to these individuals granted in December 2019 and January 2020 (the “December 2019 Awards”). The Company was named a nominal defendant in the lawsuit. The Plaintiffs demanded the rescission of the December 2019 Awards, a finding that the named directors breached their fiduciary duty to the Company, and an unspecified amount of damages. The Company appointed a Special Litigation Committee (the “SLC”), consisting solely of independent directors not named in the complaint to investigate the allegations in the complaint.

On December 15, 2020, the Defendants reached an agreement in principle with the SLC (collectively, the “Parties”) to resolve the lawsuit. On December 18, 2020, the Parties executed a memorandum of understanding outlining the key terms of their agreement. On January 27, 2021, the Parties entered into a proposed Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement, and Release (the “Stipulation”) to settle the derivative action. Pursuant to the Stipulation, the current directors agreed to implement a series of corporate governance reforms related to director and executive officer compensation and certain Defendants agreed to forfeit a substantial portion of the December 2019 Awards following approval of the settlement by the Delaware Court in exchange for a release of claims and the dismissal of the derivative action with prejudice.

The corporate governance reforms to be implemented pursuant to the Stipulation included:

• exploring the addition of a new director who meets NASDAQ standards for independence;

22

• reconstitution of the Compensation Committee to consist of at least three independent directors; and

• adoption of a five-year executive officer and director compensation policy requiring the Compensation Committee to:

• develop and approve compensation,

• retain and receive written recommendations of an independent compensation advisor to assist the Compensation Committee with the determination of the types and levels of compensation;

• perform at a minimum an annual assessment of compensation levels and structure of its peer group based on discussions with its independent compensation advisor with regard to relevance, in particular, companies in the same industry and of similar market capitalization;

• only determine compensation on an annual basis with the exception of new additions, promotions, or exceptional circumstances as determined by the Compensation Committee; and

• adopt a prohibition on bonuses for nonemployee directors based on Company performance.

The Board appointed a new director, expanded the membership of the Compensation Committee, and approved the executive officer and director compensation policy as described above effective prior to the deadline set forth in the Stipulation.

The December 2019 Awards were forfeited effective June 4, 2021 as follows: 100% of the December 2019 Awards to Michael A. Klump, Jordan G. Naydenov, and David F. Welch, Ph.D., covering 2.25 million shares, 60% of the December 2019 Award to Scott A. Kelly, M.D., covering 0.75 million shares; and 100% of the warrant to acquire 2.0 million shares issued to Nader Z. Pourhassan, Ph.D. In addition, Dr. Pourhassan forfeited vested options to purchase approximately 0.4 million shares from the December 2019 Awards. The Delaware Court held hearings, on April 19 and June 4, 2021, and approved the Stipulation at the hearing on June 4, 2021.

On March 19, 2021, the Plaintiffs filed a brief, agreeing to the proposed settlement and seeking an award of approximately $4.1 million for bringing the lawsuit. Plaintiff’s demand was based on the claimed value or benefit to the Company and its stockholders from the value of the forfeited equity awards, in addition to the time incurred by the Plaintiffs’ attorneys with regard to this action. On April 8, 2021, the SLC filed a brief opposing the Plaintiffs’ motion, contending that the amount of the award demanded was not legally supported. Following a hearing on June 4, 2021, the Delaware Court issued a ruling granting the Plaintiffs’ fee application in the amount of $3.0 million, inclusive of expenses, for which the Company fully accrued as of May 31, 2021. The Company timely satisfied the award obligation and terms of the Stipulation during the three months ended August 31, 2021.

September 2020 Washington Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit

On September 10, 2020, the same Plaintiffs as in the Delaware Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit filed another derivative action against CEO Nader Z. Pourhassan, Ph.D. claiming that he had violated Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to certain personal stock transactions in the Company’s stock. The parties filed cross-motions to dismiss. On March 12, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington (the “U.S. District Court”) granted Dr. Pourhassan’s motion to dismiss with prejudice. On April 9, 2021, the Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals appealing the decision of the U.S. District Court. The Plaintiffs filed their opening brief with the Ninth Circuit on July 8, 2021. Dr. Pourhassan filed a reply brief on September 8, 2021, and on September 20, 2021 the Plaintiffs filed for an extension of time to file their reply brief no later than October 29, 2021.

Pestell Employment Dispute

On July 25, 2019, the Company’s Board terminated the employment of Dr. Pestell, the Company’s former Chief Medical Officer, for cause pursuant to the terms of Dr. Pestell’s employment agreement. On August 22, 2019, Dr. Pestell filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Pestell v. CytoDyn Inc., et al.), against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board, alleging breach of the employment agreement, a failure to pay wages and defamation, among other claims, and seeking damages related to severance entitlements for a non-cause termination under the employment agreement and a stock restriction agreement, among other relief. The treatment of those entitlements, including severance and approximately 0.4 million unvested stock options and 8.3 shares

23

of unvested restricted common stock, in each case granted or issued on November 16, 2018 and which vest ratably over three years or upon a non-cause termination, are expected to be determined by the outcome of this litigation. It is possible that if a court ruled in favor of Dr. Pestell on the equity entitlements, it would award damages based on a decline in the value of the shares. On November 2, 2020, the Court dismissed Dr. Pestell’s wage claims with prejudice and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board were dismissed from the proceeding. The Company filed its answer and counterclaims thereafter. A bench trial is currently set for April 2022. The Company disputes all of Dr. Pestell’s claims and intends to vigorously defend the action. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, that the Company may incur.

ProstaGene Arbitration

On March 19, 2021, the Company concluded a five-day arbitration hearing concerning a claim by ProstaGene and counterclaims by the Company for approximately 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock held in escrow as holdback stock pursuant to the transaction agreement for the acquisition of certain intangible assets from ProstaGene in November 2018. The Company recognized a full impairment charge against the net carrying value of a certain acquired intangible asset in the quarter ended February 28, 2021. See Note 7 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ProstaGene also sought monetary damages, in an amount to be determined by the arbitration panel, including any lost value in stock price and its attorney fees and costs. Post-hearing briefing concluded mid-May 2021. The Company disputed ProstaGene’s claim and has vigorously defended against that claim. Further, the Company believes its counterclaims are meritorious and the Company vigorously prosecuted its counterclaims. Nonetheless, on July 2, 2021, an arbitration panel determined ProstaGene was entitled to release of the shares, as well as a cash monetary award in the amount of approximately $6.2 million, plus interest, fees and costs estimated to total approximately $1.4 million. These amounts were fully accrued for as of May 31, 2021, and the Company satisfied the arbitration award obligations in July 2021.

Securities Class Action Lawsuit

On March 17, 2021, a stockholder filed a putative class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against the Company and certain current and former officers. The complaint generally alleges the defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the viability of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19. The plaintiff seeks a ruling for the case to proceed as a class action and unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On April 9, 2021, a second stockholder filed a similar putative class action lawsuit in the same court, which the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on July 23, 2021. On August 9, 2021, the court appointed lead plaintiffs for the lawsuit; a motion to reconsider the court’s lead plaintiff order is pending. The Company and the individual defendants deny any allegations of wrongdoing in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the matter. Since this case is in an early stage where the number of plaintiffs is not known, and the claims do not specify an amount of damages, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss the Company may incur.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits

On June 4, 2021, a stockholder filed a purported derivative lawsuit against certain of the Company’s current and former officers, certain board members, and the Company as a nominal defendant, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington (“First Derivative Suit”). The complaint generally alleges the director defendants breached fiduciary duties owed to the Company by allowing the Company to make false and misleading statements regarding the viability of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19 and failing to maintain an adequate system of oversight and internal controls. The complaint asserts claims against one or more individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment, and seeks to recover on behalf of the Company for any liability the Company incurs as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct. The complaint also seeks contribution on behalf of the Company from certain individual defendants for their alleged violations of federal securities laws. The complaint seeks declaratory and equitable relief, an unspecified amount of damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On June 25, 2021, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against the same defendants in the same court (“Second Derivative Suit”), which includes allegations and claims similar to those made in the First Derivative Suit, adding claims against certain individual defendants based on allegedly false and misleading proxy

24

statement disclosures and for breach of fiduciary duty arising from alleged insider trading, and seeking similar relief as the First Derivative Suit. On August 18, 2021, a third shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against the same defendants in the same court, which includes allegations and claims similar to those made in the First Derivative Suit and Second Derivative Suit. The court has consolidated these three lawsuits for all purposes (“Consolidated Derivative Suit”). The Company and the individual defendants deny any allegations of wrongdoing in the complaints and intend to vigorously defend the litigation. In light of the fact that the Consolidated Derivative Suit is in an early stage and the claims do not specify an amount of damages, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the Consolidated Derivative Suit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss the Company may incur.

Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice Investigations

The Company has received subpoenas from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission requesting documents and information concerning, among other matters, leronlimab, the Company’s public statements regarding the use of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19 and related communications with the FDA, investors, and others, and trading in the securities of CytoDyn. The SEC informed the Company that this inquiry should not be construed as an indication that any violations of law have occurred or that the SEC has any negative opinion of any person, entity or security.

In addition, the Company and certain of its executives have received subpoenas in connection with an investigation being conducted by the United States Department of Justice. The subpoenas seek testimony and/or records concerning, among other matters, leronlimab, the Company’s public statements regarding the use of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19 and related communications with the FDA, investors, and others, and trading in the securities of CytoDyn.

The Company is cooperating fully with these non-public, fact-finding investigations, and as of the date of this filing, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome and cannot reasonably estimate the potential possible loss or range of loss, if any.

September 2021 Delaware Court of Chancery Lawsuit

On September 22, 2021, a putative class-action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its board members in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint generally alleges that Article VI, Section 5 of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, which concerns the removal of directors (“Removal Provision”), violates Delaware law. The plaintiffs seek a ruling that the case may proceed as a class action, a declaration that the Removal Provision is invalid and unenforceable, an order enjoining the defendants from attempting to enforce the Removal Provision, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company and the individual defendants deny any allegations of wrongdoing in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the matter. In light of the fact that this case is in an early stage, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss that the Company may incur.

Placement Agent Tail Fees Dispute Settlement

During the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company and Paulson Investment Company, LLC (“Paulson”) settled a dispute in which Paulson alleged it was owed tail fees related to various placement agent agreements entered into in prior years. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to a cash payment of $0.2 million and recognized stock-based expense of approximately $1.7 million resulting from the issuance of warrants covering 1.6 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share with a seven-year expiration. See Note 6 above.

Amarex Dispute

On October 4, 2021, the Company filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief and motion for a preliminary injunction against NSF International, Inc. and its subsidiary Amarex Clinical Research LLC (“Amarex”), the Company’s former contract research organization (“CRO”). Over the past eight years, Amarex provided clinical trial

25

management services to the Company and managed numerous clinical studies of the Company’s drug product candidate, leronlimab. The Company’s complaint alleges that Amarex failed to perform its obligations under the master services agreement and work orders that governed the relationship between the parties. As a result, the Company suffered substantial damages. The Company’s lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland seeks a declaration that Amarex breached its contracts with CytoDyn, as well as an injunction requiring Amarex to provide CytoDyn access to databases of clinical trial data that Amarex has been wrongfully withholding.

The Company simultaneously filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration demand alleges that Amarex failed to perform services to an acceptable professional standard and failed to perform certain services required by the parties’ agreements. Further, the demand alleges that Amarex billed the Company for services it did not perform. The Company contends that due to Amarex’s failures, it has suffered avoidable delays in obtaining regulatory approval of leronlimab and has paid for services not performed.

Note 10. Private Equity Securities Offerings

During the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company entered into privately negotiated warrant exchange agreements with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the investors purchased shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.45 to $0.75 per share. The Company issued approximately 0.7 million shares of common stock under the original warrants, as well as an equal number of additional shares as an inducement to exercise their warrants, for a total of approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock. Aggregate gross proceeds from the private warrant exchange were approximately $0.8 million. In connection with these transactions, the Company recognized an immaterial amount of non-cash inducement interest expense. Also see Note 6 above.

On August 31, 2021, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors for the sale of approximately 2.9 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share in an unregistered private placement (the “August 31, 2021 Placement”). The investors in the August 31, 2021 Placement also received warrants to purchase approximately 0.7 million shares of common stock with a stated exercise price of $1.00 per share and a five-year term. The Company received net proceeds from the August 31, 2021 Placement of approximately $2.9 million.

Note 11. Related Party Transactions

The Board’s Audit Committee, composed of independent directors, or the full Board, reviews and approves all related party transactions. The terms and amounts described below are not necessarily indicative of the terms and amounts that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.

On September 23, 2021, Jordan G. Naydenov, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, entered into a private warrant exchange in which he exercised warrants to purchase approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock, as well as approximately 0.6 million additional shares that were offered as an inducement to exercise his warrants, for a total of approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock. The terms and conditions of the investment totaling approximately $0.7 million made by Mr. Naydenov were identical to those offered to other investors. See also Note 12 below.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

From September 7, 2021 to September 23, 2021, the Company entered into privately negotiated warrant exchange agreements with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the investors purchased shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.45 to $1.00 per share. The Company issued approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock under the original warrants, as well as approximately 3.5 million additional shares as an inducement to exercise their warrants, for a total of approximately 6.1 million shares of common stock. Aggregate gross proceeds from the private warrant exchange were approximately $4.3 million.

26

From September 21, 2021 to September 29, 2021, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors for the sale of approximately 9.4 million shares of common stock at purchase prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.80 per share in a private placement. The investors also received warrants to purchase approximately 2.3 million shares of common stock with stated exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.80 per share and a five-year term. The Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $10.9 million.

From September 1, 2021 to October 1, 2021, the Company issued approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options covering approximately 0.5 million shares. The stated exercise prices ranged from $0.40 to $1.00 per share, which resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $0.1 million.

On October 5, 2021, in partial satisfaction of the October 2021 Debt Reduction Amount, the Company and the April 2, 2021 Note holder entered into exchange agreement, pursuant to which the April 2, 2021 Note was partitioned into a new note (the “October 2021 Partitioned Note”) with a principal of amount of $2.5 million. The outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note was reduced by the October 2021 Partitioned Note. The Company and the investor exchanged the October 2021 Partitioned Note for approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock. Following the October 2021 payment, the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note, including accrued interest, was approximately $24.8 million.

Overview of Our Business

The Company is a late-stage biotechnology company focused on the clinical development and potential commercialization of leronlimab (PRO 140), a CCR5 antagonist to treat HIV infection, and multiple other potential therapeutic indications. Our current business strategy is to resubmit our Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for leronlimab as a combination therapy for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients as soon as possible, as well as to seek approval for other HIV-related indications. We will seek approval for leronlimab as a potential therapeutic benefit for severe-to-critical COVID-19 patients and COVID-19 long-hauler’s indications in the U.S. and Brazil. We plan to advance our clinical trials with leronlimab for various forms of cancer, including among others, our Phase 2 trial for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and Phase 2 basket trial for 22 solid tumor cancers. We will complete our Phase 2 trial to evaluate NAFLD and liver fibrosis associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”) and to concurrently explore other immunologic indications for leronlimab.

The target of leronlimab is the immunologic receptor CCR5. The CCR5 receptor is a protein located on the surface of white blood cells that serves as a receptor for chemical attractants called chemokines. Chemokines are the key orchestrators of leukocyte trafficking by attracting immune cells to the sites of inflammation. At the site of an inflammatory reaction, chemokines are released. These chemokines are specific for CCR5 and cause the migration of T-cells to these sites promoting further inflammation. The mechanism of action of leronlimab has the potential to block the movement of T-cells to inflammatory sites, which could be instrumental in diminishing or eliminating inflammatory responses. Some disease processes that could benefit from CCR5 blockade include transplantation rejection, autoimmunity, and chronic inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.

Due to leronlimab’s mechanism of action (“MOA”), we believe leronlimab may have significant advantages in reducing side effects over other CCR5 antagonists. Prior studies have demonstrated that leronlimab does not cause direct activation of T-cells.

We continue to evaluate strategic licensing opportunities, supply and distribution partnerships and conduct exploratory discussions with third parties for other potential strategies to monetize our assets. As recently completed license and supply and distribution agreements demonstrate, such agreements are country or region-specific and generally are limited to a specific clinical indication for leronlimab.

See Item 1. Business in our 2021 Form 10-K for more information.

Product revenue

Revenue recognized was $41 thousand for the three months ended August 31, 2021, compared to none in the same period of 2020. Revenue was related to the fulfillment of an order under CSP, pursuant to an April 2021 exclusive supply and distribution agreement granting Chiral the right to distribute and sell up to 200,000 vials of leronlimab through April 15, 2022, in the Philippines. The $41 thousand recognized as revenue represents the first order fulfilled under this agreement.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold (“COGS”) were one thousand for the three months ended August 31, 2021, compared to none in the comparable period of 2020. FDA approval has not been received for leronlimab and the inventory sold was previously expensed as research and development expense due to it being manufactured prior to the commencement of the manufacturing of commercial grade pre-launch inventories which are capitalized. Therefore, COGS consists only of the costs of packaging and shipping of the vials. This resulted in a 98% gross margin for the three months ended August 31, 2021. When inventories manufactured prior to the manufacturing of pre-launch inventories are fully depleted and pre-launch inventories for which manufacturing costs have been capitalized are sold, it is expected that COGS will significantly increase and gross margin will significantly decrease.

Operating expenses

The future trends in expenses will be driven, in large part, by the future outcomes of clinical trials and their related effect on research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, professional fees, and the manufacturing of new commercial leronlimab. We require a significant amount of additional capital and our ability to

30

continue to fund operations will continue to depend on our ability to raise such capital. See in particular, “Capital Requirements” and “Going Concern” below and Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2021 Form 10-K and in this Form 10-Q.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses

G&A expenses were recorded where directly identifiable, consisting of the following during the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Three months ended August 31,				Change
(in thousands)	2021		2020		$		%
General and administrative:
Salaries and other compensation	$	385	$	3,456	$	(3,071)	(89)	%
Stock-based compensation		2,597		3,692		(1,095)	(30)
Other		4,635		2,727		1,908	70
Total general and administrative	$	7,617	$	9,875	$	(2,258)	(23)	%

G&A expenses totaled approximately $7.6 million and $9.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively, and comprised salaries and benefits, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, professional fees, insurance, and various other corporate expenses. The decrease in G&A expenses of approximately $2.3 million, or 23%, for the three months ended August 31, 2021 compared to the same period last year was due to a combined decrease in salaries and other compensation and stock-based compensation of approximately $4.2 million, offset in part by an increase in other expense of approximately $1.9 million. The reduction of approximately $3.1 million in salaries and other compensation was due to lower salaries and benefits of approximately $1.5 million attributable to decreased supplemental bonuses and a reclassification of approximately $1.6 million of previously accrued incentive compensation to stock-based compensation due to the compensation being issued in stock. The decrease of approximately $1.1 million in stock-based compensation includes a partial offset of approximately $1.6 million related to the previously described reclassification. The increase in other G&A expense of approximately $1.9 million is primarily related to increased professional service fees of $1.4 million and increased insurance expense of approximately $0.8 million, offset in part by a decrease in various other corporate expenses.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses

R&D expenses were recorded where directly identifiable, consisting of the following during the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Three months ended August 31,				Change
(in thousands)	2021		2020		$		%
Research and development:
Clinical	$	9,063	$	9,560	$	(497)	(5)	%
Non-Clinical		164		971		(807)	(83)
CMC		4,323		4,423		(100)	(2)
License and patent fees		234		234		—	-
Total research and development	$	13,784	$	15,188	$	(1,404)	(9)	%

R&D expenses totaled approximately $13.8 million and $15.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively. R&D expenses consisted of clinical trials, non-clinical, Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (“CMC”), and license and patent fees. The decrease of approximately $1.4 million, or 9%, from the comparable 2020 period was primarily due to a decrease in non-clinical and clinical trial expenses. For the three months ended August 31, 2021, R&D expenditures were primarily devoted to: (1) COVID-19 clinical trials, (2) NASH clinical trial, (3) HIV BLA resubmission and HIV extension studies, which continue to provide leronlimab to patients who have successfully completed a trial, (4) clinical trials for oncology and immunology indications, and (5) CMC activities related to clinical and commercialization inventories, including the write down of expiring raw materials inventories.

31

We expect future R&D expenses to be dependent on the timing of our BLA resubmission and potential FDA approval, the timing of FDA clearance, if any, of our pivotal trial protocol for leronlimab as a monotherapy for HIV patients, clinical and regulatory activities related to COVID-19, oncology and immunology trials, along with the outcome of the studies for several other cancer indications.

Amortization and depreciation expenses

Amortization and depreciation expense for the three months ended August 31, 2021 was approximately $0.3 million, compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended August 31, 2020. The decrease was due to a $0.2 million reduction in the amortization of intangible assets, which was attributable to an impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, which reduced the amortization of intangibles.

Loss on extinguishment of convertible notes

For the three months ended August 31, 2021, we recognized a non-cash loss on the extinguishment of convertible notes of approximately $4.7 million. We did not recognize any losses on the extinguishment of debt during the comparable period of fiscal 2021. The losses resulted from separate and independently negotiated note payment settlements in which certain debt was agreed to be settled in exchange for shares issued at a price less than the closing price for the date of the respective transactions. The originating underlying convertible note was entered into on November 10, 2020, and was fully retired during the three months ended August 31, 2021.

Legal Settlement

For the three months ended August 31, 2021, we incurred approximately $1.9 million in legal settlement expense. We did not recognize any legal settlement expense during the comparable period of fiscal 2021. The legal settlement expense consisted of a $0.2 million cash payment and approximately $1.7 million of non-cash expense related to the issuance of warrants in connection with a negotiated settlement of a dispute with a placement agent.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020 totaled approximately $2.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. The decrease of approximately $2.6 million, or 49%, from the comparable 2020 period was driven primarily by a decrease in non-cash inducement interest expense related to private warrant exchanges of approximately $3.3 million, offset in part by an increase in interest on convertible notes payable of approximately $1.1 million.

Fluctuations in Operating Results

The Company’s operating results may fluctuate due to a number of factors, such as the timing of product manufacturing activities and inventory related shelf lives, patient enrollment or completion rates in various trials, potential amendments to clinical trial protocols, and legal proceedings and related outcomes. We are periodically conducting offerings to raise capital, which can create various forms of non-cash interest expense or amortization of issuance costs. Further, we periodically negotiate the settlement of debt payment obligations in exchange for equity securities of the Company, which can create a non-cash loss or gain upon extinguishment of debt. In addition, in prior years, we had derivative liabilities tied to certain securities that included a contingent cash settlement provision, which can vary substantially from period to period, thereby creating a non-cash charge or benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash

The Company’s cash position of approximately $6.5 million as of August 31, 2021 decreased by $27.4 million, when compared to the balance of approximately $33.9 million as of May 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily caused

32

by $31.7 million in cash used in operating activities, partially offset by $4.3 million in cash provided by financing activities.

	Three Months Ended				Change
(in thousands)	2021		2020		$
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Net cash (used in) operating activities	$	(31,741)	$	(40,948)	$	9,207
Net cash (used in) investing activities	$	(8)	$	(59)	$	51
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	4,348	$	44,928	$	(40,580)

Cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $31.7 million during the three months ended August 31, 2021, representing an improvement of approximately $9.2 million compared to the three months ended August 31, 2020. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was due primarily to an approximate $40.1 million reduction of cash used to procure raw materials and manufacture leronlimab pre-launch inventories, offset in part by an increase in accounts payables and accrued liabilities of approximately $30.6 million, and an increase in non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $4.7 million.

Cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was relatively flat for the three months ended August 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended August 31, 2020.

Cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $4.3 million during the three months ended August 31, 2021, a decrease of approximately $40.6 million from net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended August 31, 2020. The decrease in net cash provided from financing activities was primarily attributable to $25.0 million in net proceeds received during the three months ended August 31, 2020 from a convertible note issuance, and approximately an additional $21.0 million received from the stock option and warrant transactions and exercises. These decreases were partially offset by proceeds of approximately $2.9 million from the sale of common stock and warrants during the three months ended August 31, 2021.

Inventory

The Company’s inventory position of approximately $91.6 million as of August 31, 2021 decreased approximately $1.9 million as compared to a balance of approximately $93.5 million as of May 31, 2021. Inventory balances remained relatively flat as the Company continued its preparation for commercialization. The decrease in inventory during the three months ended August 31, 2021, was primarily related to the write down of expiring raw materials purchased for commercial production of approximately $1.1 million. As of August 31, 2021, the raw materials balance was $26.0 million and the total work-in-progress was $65.5 million. Work-in-progress consists of bulk drug substance, which is the manufactured drug stored in bulk storage, and drug product, which is the manufactured drug in unlabeled vials. Bulk drug substance and drug product comprised approximately $20.3 million and $45.2 million, respectively, of work-in-progress inventory. See “Capital Requirements—Contract Manufacturing” below for a further discussion of commitments with third-party contract manufacturing partners.

November 2020 Note

In November 2020, we issued a convertible note with a principal amount of $28.5 million resulting in net cash proceeds of $25.0, after $3.4 million of debt discount and $0.1 million of offering costs. The note accrued interest daily at a rate of 10% per annum and provided for a stated conversion price of $10.00 per share and a maturity date in November 2022. The November 2020 Note was fully satisfied during the three months ended August 31, 2021, there is no outstanding balance as of August 31, 2021.

April 2, 2021 Note

On April 2, 2021, we issued a convertible note with a principal amount of $28.5 million resulting in net cash proceeds of $25.0 million, after $3.4 million of debt discount and $0.1 million of offering costs. The note accrues interest daily at a rate of 10% per annum, contains a stated conversion price of $10.00 per share, and matures in April 2023. The April 2, 2021 Note requires monthly debt reduction payments of $7.5 million for the six months beginning in May 2021, which can also be satisfied by payments on the November 2020 Note, and/or the April 23, 2021 Note. Beginning six months after the issuance date, the noteholder can request monthly redemptions of up to $3.5 million. The outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note, including accrued interest, was approximately $26.9 million as of August 31, 2021.

April 23, 2021 Note

On April 23, 2021, we issued a convertible note with a principal amount of $28.5 million resulting in net cash proceeds of $25.0 million, after $3.4 million of debt discount and $0.1 million of offering costs. The note accrues interest daily at a rate of 10% per annum, contains a stated conversion price of $10.00 per share, and matures in April 2023. Beginning six months after the issuance date, the noteholder can request monthly redemptions of up to $7.0 million. The outstanding balance of the April 23, 2021 Note, including accrued interest, was approximately $26.7 million as of August 31, 2021.

Common stock

We have 800.0 million authorized shares of common stock. As of August 31, 2021, we had approximately 643.7 million shares of common stock outstanding, approximately 41.9 million shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants, approximately 33.9 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred stock and undeclared dividends, approximately 18.3 million shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options or the vesting of outstanding restricted stock, approximately 26.1 million shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plan, and approximately 12.0 million shares of common stock reserved and issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes. As a result, as of August 31, 2021, we had approximately 24.2 million authorized shares of common stock available for issuance.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

There were no material changes in commitments during the three months ended August 31, 2021. Please refer to Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, in the 2021 Form 10-K for additional information around the Company’s commitments.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings. As of August 31, 2021, we were not party to any material pending legal proceedings, except those described in Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The Company recognizes accruals for such proceedings to the extent a loss is determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The best estimate of a loss within a possible range is accrued; however, if no estimate in the range is more probable than another, then the minimum

34

amount in the range is accrued. If it is determined that a material loss is not probable but reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the possible loss is disclosed. It is not possible to determine the outcome of these proceedings, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Company, as the outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and the outcomes could differ significantly from recognized accruals. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a recognized accrual or if an accrual had not been made, could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of August 31, 2021, the Company did not record any accruals related to the outcomes of the matters described in Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings.

In December 2019, the Company entered into a supply agreement with Vyera Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Vyera”) for the sale of leronlimab for HIV in the United States in conjunction with a commercialization and license agreement entered into with Vyera. See “Licensing” below for further discussion of the agreement. On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Biomm S.A., a Brazilian pharmaceutical company, granting the exclusive right to distribute and sell leronlimab in Brazil upon Brazilian regulatory approval. On April 15, 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Chiral Pharma Corporation, a Philippine pharmaceutical company, granting the exclusive right to distribute and sell up to 200,000 vials of leronlimab during the 12 months ending April 15, 2022, to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients in the Philippines under CSP or Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) from the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines. On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Macleods Pharmaceuticals Ltd., an Indian pharmaceutical company, granting the exclusive right to distribute and sell up to 200,000 vials of leronlimab in calendar year 2021 in India to treat COVID-19 patients under a CSP or EUA from the India Central Drugs Standard Control Organization.

Licensing

Under the Progenics Purchase Agreement, we are required to pay Progenics the following ongoing milestone payments and royalties: (i) $5.0 million at the time of the first U.S. new drug application approval by the FDA or other non-U.S. approval for the sale of leronlimab (PRO 140); and (ii) royalty payments of up to five percent (5%) on net sales during the period beginning on the date of the first commercial sale of leronlimab (PRO 140) until the later of (a) the expiration of the last to expire patent included in the acquired assets, and (b) 10 years, in each case determined on a country-by country basis. In addition, under a Development and License Agreement dated April 30, 1999 (the “PDL License”), between Protein Design Labs (now AbbVie Inc.) and Progenics, which was previously assigned to us, we are required to pay AbbVie Inc. additional milestone payments and royalties as follows: (i) $0.5 million upon filing a BLA with the FDA or non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body; (ii) $0.5 million upon FDA approval or approval by another non-U.S. equivalent regulatory body; and (iii) royalties of up to 3.5% of net sales for the longer of 10 years and the date of expiration of the last to expire licensed patent. Additionally, the PDL License provides for an annual maintenance fee of $150,000 until royalties paid exceed that amount. As discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the Company received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA in July 2020 with respect to its BLA as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment experienced HIV patients. In response to this letter, the Company commenced the resubmission of its BLA in July 2021 and currently expects the BLA resubmission to be completed in the first calendar quarter of 2022. As such, until the BLA is accepted by the FDA, it is management’s conclusion that the probability of achieving the subsequent future clinical development and regulatory milestones is not reasonably determinable, such that the future milestone payments payable to Progenics and its sub-licensors have been deemed contingent consideration and, therefore, not currently accruable.

In December 2019, the Company entered into a Commercialization and License Agreement and a Supply Agreement with Vyera (the “License Agreement”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Company granted Vyera an exclusive royalty-bearing license to commercialize pharmaceutical preparations containing leronlimab for treatment of HIV in humans in the United States.

Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Vyera will incur the cost of, and be responsible for, among other things, commercializing the product in the territory and will use

35

commercially reasonable efforts to commercialize the product in the field in the territory. Under the terms of the License Agreement, CytoDyn is permitted to license the product outside of the territory for uses in the field or outside the field or for uses inside the territory outside of the field.

In consideration of the license and other rights granted by the Company, Vyera agreed to pay the Company, within three business days of the effective date of the License Agreement, a $0.5 million license issue fee, with additional payments totaling up to approximately $87.0 million to be made upon the achievement of certain sales and regulatory milestones. Certain milestones are subject to reduction if not achieved within an agreed-upon timeframe. Vyera may also pay the Company additional potential milestone payments upon the regulatory approval of leronlimab for certain subsequent indications in the field. Whether a particular subsequent indication qualifies for an additional milestone payment will be determined in good faith by the parties. In addition, during the Royalty Term, as defined in the License Agreement, but, in any event, a period of not less than 10 years following the first commercial sale under the License Agreement, Vyera is obligated to pay the Company a royalty equal to 50% of Vyera’s gross profit margin from product sales (defined in the License Agreement as “Net Sales”) in the territory. The royalty is subject to reduction during the Royalty Term after patent expiry and expiry of regulatory exclusivity. Following expiration of the Royalty Term, Vyera will continue to maintain non-exclusive rights to commercialize the product.

Regulatory Matters

FDA Refusal to File Letter on HIV BLA Submission

In July 2020, the Company received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA regarding its BLA submission for leronlimab as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment experienced HIV patients. The FDA informed the Company the BLA did not contain certain information needed to complete a substantive review and therefore, the FDA would not file the BLA. In particular, the FDA informed the Company that the receptor occupancy analysis performed by its third-party laboratory was not properly performed, and would be required to be resubmitted, and the Company would need to correct certain administrative submission deficiencies. The FDA’s request does not require any additional clinical trials to be conducted. Subsequent to the Refusal to File letter, the Company received further clarification on the BLA’s deficiencies. The Company has engaged a leading global healthcare diagnostic company, along with an expanded team of subject matter expert consultants, to conduct the receptor occupancy analysis necessary in order to resubmit the BLA. The Company began to resubmit the BLA in July 2021 and currently expected the BLA to be completed in the first calendar quarter of 2022.

Going Concern

As reported in the accompanying financial statements, during the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $30.9 million and $30.8 million, respectively. The Company has had limited to no activities that produced revenue in the periods presented and has sustained operating losses since inception.

We currently require and will continue to require a significant amount of additional capital to fund operations and pay our liabilities, and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise such additional capital, commercialize our product and achieve profitability. If the Company is not able to raise such additional capital on a timely basis or on favorable terms, it may need to scale back operations and/or slow CMC-related activities, which could materially delay commercialization initiatives and its ability to achieve profitability. The Company’s failure to raise additional capital could also affect its relationships with key vendors, disrupting its ability to timely execute its business plan. In extreme cases, the Company could be forced to file for bankruptcy protection, discontinue operations or liquidate assets.

Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public and private equity securities and proceeds from convertible notes payable and related party notes payable. The Company intends to finance its future operating activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional potential funding from other traditional and non-traditional financing sources. As of the date of this

36

filing, the Company has approximately 26.7 million shares of common stock authorized and available for issuance under its certificate of incorporation, as amended.

The sale of equity and convertible debt securities to raise additional capital may result in dilution to stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of common shares. If the Company raises funds through the issuance of additional preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing the related transaction documents could contain covenants restricting its operations. On April 2 and April 23, 2021, the Company entered into long-term convertible notes that are secured by all of our assets (excluding our intellectual property), and include certain restrictive provisions, including limitations on incurring additional indebtedness and future dilutive issuances of securities, any of which could impair our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms and conditions. Any other third-party funding arrangements could require the Company to relinquish valuable rights. The Company expects to require additional capital beyond currently anticipated needs. Additional capital, if available, may not be available on reasonable or non-dilutive terms. Please refer to the matters discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K and under Item 1A. in Part II of this Form 10-Q.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses for all periods presented and has a substantial accumulated deficit. As of August 31, 2021, these factors, among several others, may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain a significant amount of additional operating capital, to continue its research into multiple indications for and development of its product candidate, to obtain FDA approval of its product candidate for use in treating one or more indications, to outsource manufacturing of its product, and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company intends to seek additional funding through equity or debt offerings, licensing agreements, supply and distribution agreements, and strategic alliances to implement its business plan. There are no assurances, however, that it will be successful in these endeavors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting estimates are those estimates that require the most significant judgments and estimates in presenting the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates its estimates, judgments, and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of our critical accounting policies is presented in Part II, Item 7, of our 2021 Form 10-K and Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments. Different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their anticipated effect on our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of business. These risks primarily include interest rate sensitivities. As of August 31, 2021, we had $6.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. We intend to hold our cash in interest-bearing money market accounts. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Due to the short-term maturities of our cash equivalents and the low risk profile of its investments, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash equivalents.

Common Stock Price Volatility

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has historically granted stock incentive awards to management and employees in the form of stock options. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for stock options over the requisite service period using the fair value of these grants as estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the market value of our publicly traded common stock on the date of grant. This expense is reflected in the “General and administrative” expense line item in our consolidated statements of operations. In addition to the market value of our common stock, one of the inputs into this model that significantly impacts the fair value of the options is the expected volatility of our common stock over the estimated life of the option. We estimate expected volatility by using the most recent historical experience.

Since November 2019, our common stock has experienced periods of elevated volatility in trading. Grants of stock options during 2021 will reflect an increase in expected volatility in the estimation of grant date fair value of stock options that would result in a higher value and related stock-based compensation expense for these awards when compared to prior years.

Additionally, we periodically negotiate the settlement of debt payment obligations in exchange for equity securities of the Company, which can create a non-cash loss or gain upon extinguishment of debt as the price of the equity securities fluctuates. If we continue to enter into these settlements, the increased levels of volatility in our common stock trading price will result in increased dilution and extinguishment gains or losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2021 (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based upon the evaluation described above that, as of August 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable-assurance level.

38

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended August 31, 2021, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

For a description of pending material legal proceedings, please see Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We are subject to various risks, including those set forth below, and those risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended May 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on July 30, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021, and our subsequent filings with the SEC, that could have a negative effect on our financial condition and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained in this report or other reports filed with the SEC. You should carefully consider these risk factors in addition to the other information in this Form 10-Q.

Additional delays in the completion of the resubmission of our BLA may substantially hinder our efforts to commercialize our drug product and decrease stockholder value.

We recently notified the FDA of an expected delay in the completion of resubmission of our BLA for the use of leronlimab as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients. The delay was caused by various performance issues of third-party service providers, coupled with the additional time for a new team to address prior deficiencies. We currently expect to complete our BLA resubmission process during the first calendar quarter of 2022. This timing will result in a further delay in FDA approval, if any, of the use of our drug product in HIV patients, resulting in the postponement of the potential achievement of our strategic goals with regard to the marketing and sale of our drug product in the U.S. and the realization of significant revenues from the commercialization of leronlimab. It will also give other pharmaceutical companies additional time to develop drugs intended to address similar patient needs, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage. We may need to write down the value of our inventories due to obsolescence and likely will need to obtain significant additional funding to continue our business operations, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. It may also lead to reduced investor confidence in our company, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and decrease stockholder value.

Our business, operating results and financial condition could be negatively affected as a result of actions by activist investors.

A group of investors (the “Activist Group”) submitted a notice to the Company, purporting to nominate five nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company informed the Activist Group that its notice of nomination was invalid, as it did not comply with the Company’s By-Laws. The Activist Group subsequently sued the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery, seeking a preliminary injunction to require the Company to recognize the notice of nomination as valid. If the Activist Group prevails in this lawsuit, the Company will be involved in a proxy contest, despite the deficiencies in the Activist Group’s notice of nomination. If the Company prevails in this lawsuit, the protracted litigation and campaign by the Activist Group against the Company has nonetheless absorbed the time and energies of management and required the Company to incur substantial expense, possibly causing a decrease in stockholder value.

A proxy contest and related litigation, along the lines discussed above, could have a material adverse effect on the Company for the following reasons:

● Activist investors may attempt to effect changes in the Company’s governance and strategic direction or to acquire control over the Company. In particular, if the Activist Group is successful in its litigation and subsequent proxy contest, it may gain control of the Board of Directors.

● While the Company welcomes the opinions of all stockholders, responding to proxy contests and related litigation by activist investors is likely to be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations, and divert the

40

attention of our Board of Directors, management team, and employees away from their regular duties and the pursuit of business opportunities to enhance stockholder value.

● Perceived uncertainties as to our future direction of the Company as a result of potential changes to the composition of the Board of Directors may lead to the perception of a change in the strategic direction of the business, instability or lack of continuity, which may be exploited by our competitors; may cause concern to our existing or potential customers and employees; may result in the loss of potential business opportunities; and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners.

● Proxy contests and related litigation by activist investors could cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On October 5, 2021, in partial satisfaction of the October 2021 Debt Reduction Amount, the Company and the April 2, 2021 Note holder entered into an exchange agreement, pursuant to which the April 2, 2021 Note was partitioned into a new note (the “October 2021 Partitioned Note”) with a principal amount of $2.5 million. The outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note was reduced by the October 2021 Partitioned Note. The Company and the investor exchanged the October 2021 Partitioned Note for approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock. The Company relied on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act for the exchange transaction described above.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not Applicable.

The Executive’s principal place of business for the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement shall be at the principal executive office of the Company (currently located in Vancouver, Washington). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be required to travel as necessary to perform Executive’s duties hereunder.

ARTICLE 3

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS; EXPENSES

Section 3.1Compensation and Benefits. For all services rendered by the Executive in any capacity during the Term (including, without limitation, serving as an officer, director or member of any committee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates), the Executive shall be compensated (subject, in each case, to the provisions of ARTICLE 4 below), as determined by the Compensation Committee, as follows:

(a)Base Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), which shall be subject to customary withholdings and authorized deductions and be payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices in place from time to time. The Executive’s Base Salary shall be subject to periodic adjustments as determined by the Compensation Committee. As used in this Agreement, the term “Base Salary” shall refer to Base Salary as may be adjusted from time to time.

(b)Annual Bonus. For each fiscal year ending during the Term (beginning with the fiscal year ending May 31, 2022), the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) with a target amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Base Salary earned by the Executive for such fiscal year (the “Target Annual Bonus”). The actual amount of each Annual Bonus will be based upon the level of achievement of the Company’s corporate objectives and the Executive’s individual objectives established by the Compensation Committee for the fiscal year with respect to which such Annual Bonus relates. The level of achievement of the corporate objectives and the Executive’s individual performance objectives for any fiscal year shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. Each Annual Bonus for a fiscal year, to the extent earned, will be paid in a lump sum at a time determined by the Company, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the year in which such Annual Bonus was earned. Each Annual Bonus shall be payable, as determined by the Compensation Committee, either in cash, in full, or fifty percent (50%) in cash and (50%) in unrestricted shares under (and as defined in) the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (as it may be amended from time to time, the “2012 Plan”), or any successor equity compensation plan as may be in place from time to time (collectively with the 2012 Plan, the “Plan”), subject to the availability of shares under the Plan. The Annual Bonus shall not be deemed earned until the date that it is paid. Accordingly, in order for the Executive to receive an Annual Bonus, the Executive must be actively employed by the Company at the time of such payment, unless, following a Change in Control, the Executive is terminated other than for cause or resigns for Good Reason prior to the date on which the Annual Bonus is paid, but after May 31 of the fiscal year, then such Annual Bonus shall still be paid in full as described above.

(c)Equity Compensation. Executive was previously granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of stock option agreement between the parties hereto entered into on the following dates, and subject to the terms and conditions established within the Plan: January 16, 2020, February 21, 2020, July 22, 2020, and February 17, 2021. During the Term, and likewise subject to the terms and conditions established within the Plan and separate Award Agreements (as defined in the Plan), the Executive also shall be eligible to receive from time to time additional Options, Stock Appreciation

Rights, Restricted Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Plan), in amounts, if any, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

(d)Benefit Plans. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs (excluding severance plans, if any) generally made available by the Company to senior leadership of the Company, to the extent permissible under the general terms and provisions of such plans or programs and in accordance with the provisions thereof. The Company may amend, modify or rescind any employee benefit plan or program and/or change employee contribution amounts to benefit costs without notice in its discretion.

(e)Paid Time Off. The Executive shall be entitled to paid time off in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time for its senior management.

Section 3.2Expense Reimbursement. Subject to the requirements contained in Section 5.17, the Company shall reimburse the Executive during the Term, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies in place from time to time, for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by the Executive in the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder. In order to receive such reimbursement, the Executive shall furnish to the Company documentary evidence of each such expense in the form required to comply with the Company’s policies in place from time to time.

ARTICLE 4

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Section 4.1 Termination Without Cause.

(a)The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) upon written notice to the Executive.

(b)As used in this Agreement, “Cause” means: (i) a material act, or act of fraud, committed by the Executive that is intended to result in the Executive’s personal enrichment to the detriment or at the expense of the Company or any of its Affiliates; (ii) the Executive is convicted of a felony; (iii) willful and continued failure by the Executive to perform the duties or obligations reasonably assigned to the Executive by the Board from time to time, which failure is not cured upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice (unless such failure is not susceptible to cure, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Board); or (iv) the Executive violates the Covenants Agreement (as defined in Section 5.1 below).

(c)If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.1(a), the Executive shall, in full discharge of all of the Company’s obligations to the Executive, be entitled to receive, and the Company’s sole obligation to the Executive under this Agreement or otherwise shall be to pay or provide to the Executive, the following:

(i) the Accrued Obligations (as defined in Section 4.3(b)); and(ii) subject to Section 4.5 and Section 4.6, a severance (the “Severance Payments”) to be paid as follows: (A) a lump sum payment equal to three (3) month’s of Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date (less applicable withholdings and authorized deductions) on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date (or the next business day thereafter, but in no event later that March 15^th of the calendar year immediately following the Termination Date); and (B) payments equal to nine (9) months of Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date (less applicable withholdings and authorized deductions) to be paid in regular installments corresponding with the Company’s regular payroll schedule, and commencing on the first regular payroll date following the date that is ninety (90) days after the Termination Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Severance Payments to which the Executive is entitled hereunder exceed two times the lesser of (x) the sum of the Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the Executive’s annual salary in the year preceding the year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated (adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely if the Executive’s employment had not terminated) or (y) the applicable dollar limit under Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code for the calendar year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1(c) to the contrary, the Severance Payments may be made, as determined by the Compensation Committee, through the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock, to a maximum of 50% of the total of such Severance Payments, in each case with a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) equal to the amount to be paid on the applicable date.

3

(e)Unless the award agreement specifically provides otherwise, all stock options and other awards that the Executive has been granted under the Plan as of the date of this Agreement shall vest and, in the case of stock options or like awards, become exercisable, to the extent not already vested and (if applicable) exercisable, on the Termination Date, and (if applicable) shall remain exercisable following termination to the extent provided in the award agreement for such award.

Section 4.2Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason Within 12 Months Following a Change in Control.

(a)Provided that the Executive has completed 180 days of full-time continuous employment, as an employee in any capacity, with the Company, if, within twelve (12) months following the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below), the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) or the Executive resigns for Good Reason, the provisions of this Section 4.2 shall control instead of the provisions of Section 4.1.

(b)As used in this Agreement, “Change in Control” means

(i) Any one person or entity, or more than one person or entity acting as a group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3), acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock previously held by the acquiror, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the Company’s stock. If any one person or entity, or more than one person or entity acting as a group, is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the Company’s stock, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or entity or persons or entities acting as a group does not cause a Change in Control. An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person or entity, or persons or entities acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property, is treated as an acquisition of stock; or

(ii) 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; or

(iii) Any one person or entity, or more than one person or entity acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by that person or entity or persons or entities acting as a group) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to at least forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all the Company’s assets immediately prior to the acquisition or acquisitions. Gross fair market value means the value of the Company’s assets, or the value of the assets being disposed of, without regard to any liabilities associated with these assets. Notwithstanding anything in this clause (iii) to the contrary, in no event shall a license of (or other similar transfer of rights in) leronlimab be a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets.

In determining whether a Change in Control occurs, the attribution rules of Code Section 318 apply to determine stock ownership. The stock underlying a vested option is treated as owned by the individual who holds the vested option, and the stock underlying an unvested option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the unvested option.

(c)As used in this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) a material breach by the Company of the terms of this Agreement; (2) a material reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary unless the reduction is generally applicable to substantially all similarly situated Company employees or is otherwise offset economically by increases in other compensation or replacement plans or programs; (3) a material diminution in the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities; or (4) a relocation by the Company of the Executive’s principal place of business for the performance of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement to a location that is anywhere outside of a 50-mile radius of Vancouver, Washington; provided, however, that the Executive must notify the Company within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of any of the foregoing conditions that the Executive considers it to be a “Good Reason” condition and provide the Company with at least thirty (30) days in which to cure the condition. If the Executive fails to provide this notice and cure period prior to the Executive’s resignation, or resigns more than six (6) months after the initial existence of the condition, the Executive’s resignation will not be deemed to be for “Good Reason.”

(d)If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2(a) (i.e., the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control of the Company, or the Executive resigns for Good Reason within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control of the Company), the Executive shall, in full discharge of all of the Company’s obligations to the Executive, be entitled to receive, and the Company’s sole obligation to the Executive under this Agreement or otherwise shall be to pay or provide to the Executive, the following:

(i) the Accrued Obligations; and

(ii) subject to Section 4.5 and Section 4.6:

4

(A) a lump sum payment equal to the sum of eighteen (18) months of the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to Termination Date (less applicable withholdings and authorized deductions), to be paid on the first regular payroll date on or following the date that is sixty (60) days following such termination of employment (the “Enhanced Severance Payment”); provided, however, that the Enhanced Severance Payment shall not exceed two times the lesser of (x) the sum of the Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the Executive’s annual salary in his capacity as CFO in the year preceding the year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated (adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely if the Executive’s employment had not terminated) or (y) the applicable dollar limit under Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code for the calendar year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated; and

(B) Unless the award agreement specifically provides otherwise, all stock options and other awards that the Executive has been granted under the Plan as of the date of this Agreement shall vest and, in the case of stock options or like awards, become exercisable, to the extent not already vested and (if applicable) exercisable, on the Termination Date, and (if applicable) shall remain exercisable following termination to the extent provided in the award agreement for such award. The Company agrees to amend the option contract(s) to eliminate the 90 day post service provision so that the fully vested stock options shall remain valid and effective for the remaining stated expiration date of the awards.

For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that the Enhanced Severance Payment set forth in this Section 4.2 shall be in lieu of (and not in addition to) the Severance Payment set forth in Section 4.1.

Section 4.3Termination for Cause; Voluntary Termination.

(a)The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time for Cause upon written notice to the Executive. The Executive may voluntarily terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time for any reason or no reason as well, but is requested to provide ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the Company, if possible; provided, however, the Company reserves the right, upon written notice to the Executive, to accept the Executive’s notice of resignation and to accelerate such notice and make the Executive’s resignation effective immediately, or on such other date prior to the Executive’s intended last day of work as the Company deems appropriate. Should the Company accelerate such notice, the Company nonetheless shall compensate the Executive for the full 90 days of the notice period. It is understood and agreed that the Company’s election to accelerate the Executive’s notice of resignation shall not be deemed a termination by the Company without Cause for purposes of Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement or otherwise or constitute Good Reason for purposes of Section 4.2 of this Agreement or otherwise.

(b)If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.3(a), the Executive shall, in full discharge of all of the Company’s obligations to the Executive, be entitled to receive, and the Company’s sole obligation under this Agreement or otherwise shall be to pay or provide to the Executive, the following (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”):

(i) the Executive’s accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the final date of the Executive’s employment by the Company (the “Termination Date”), payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices;

(ii) the Executive’s unused vacation as accrued in accordance with the Company’s policies, if any;

(iii) expenses reimbursable under Section 3.2 above incurred on or prior to the Termination Date but not yet reimbursed; and

(iv) any amounts or benefits that are vested amounts or vested benefits or that the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice (with the exception of those, if any, relating to severance) on the Termination Date, in accordance with such plan, program, policy, or practice.

Section 4.4Termination Resulting from Death or Disability.

(a)As the result of any Disability suffered by the Executive, the Company, upon five (5) days’ prior notice to the Executive, may terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement. The Executive’s employment shall automatically terminate upon the Executive’s death.

(b)“Disability” means a determination by the Company in accordance with applicable law that as a result of a physical or mental injury or illness, the Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of (i) ninety (90) consecutive days; or (ii) one hundred twenty (120) days during any twelve (12) month period.

5

(c)If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.4(a), the Executive or the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, and the Company’s sole obligation under this Agreement or otherwise shall be to pay or provide to the Executive or the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, the Accrued Obligations.

Section 4.5Release Agreement. In order to receive the Severance Payments set forth in Section 4.1 or to receive the Enhanced Severance Payment set forth in Section 4.2 (as applicable, and, in each case, if eligible), the Executive must timely execute (and not revoke) a separation agreement and general release (the “Release Agreement”) in a customary form as is determined to be reasonably necessary by the Company in its good faith and reasonable discretion; provided, that the Company shall endeavor to provide the Executive with the form of Release Agreement within three (3) days following the Termination Date. The Severance Payments or the Enhanced Severance Payment, as applicable, are subject to the Executive’s execution of such Release Agreement within twenty-one (21) days of the Executive’s receipt of the Release Agreement and the Executive’s non-revocation of such Release Agreement, if applicable.

Section 4.6Post-Termination Breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company’s obligations to provide the Severance Payments or the Enhanced Severance Payment, as applicable, will immediately cease if the Executive breaches any of the provisions of the Covenants Agreement, the Release Agreement or any other agreement the Executive has with the Company.

Section 4.7Removal from any Boards and Position. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason under this Agreement, the Executive shall be deemed (without further action, deed or notice) to resign (i) if a member, from the Board or board of directors (or similar governing body) of the Company, any Affiliate of the Company or any other board to which the Executive has been appointed or nominated by or on behalf of the Company and (ii) from all other positions with the Company or any subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company, including, but not limited to, as an officer of the Company and any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates.

Each party hereto acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, whether oral or in writing, have been made by any party, or on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein, or in the Covenants Agreement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company has fully satisfied, and has no further obligations to the Executive arising under, or relating to, any prior employment or consulting arrangement or understanding (including, without limitation, any claims for compensation or benefits of any kind) or otherwise.

Section 5.5No Other Contracts. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Executive nor the performance by the Executive of the Executive’s obligations hereunder, shall constitute a default under or a breach of the terms of any other agreement, contract or other arrangement, whether written or oral, to

6

which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is bound, nor shall the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Executive nor the performance by the Executive of the Executive’s duties and obligations hereunder give rise to any claim or charge against either the Executive, the Company or any Affiliate, based upon any other contract or other arrangement, whether written or oral, to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is bound. The Executive further represents and warrants to the Company that the Executive is not a party to or subject to any restrictive covenants, legal restrictions or other agreement, contract or arrangement, whether written or oral, in favor of any entity or person that would in any way preclude, inhibit, impair or limit the Executive’s ability to perform the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, non-competition agreements, non-solicitation agreements or confidentiality agreements. The Executive shall defend, indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against all claims, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and amounts paid in settlement in good faith) arising from or relating to any breach of the representations and warranties made by the Executive in this Section 5.5.

Section 5.8Waiver. Either party hereto may waive compliance by the other party with any provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist on strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. No waiver of any provision shall be construed as a waiver of any other provision. Any waiver must be in writing.

Section 5.9Severability. If any one or more of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a reasonable substitute for such invalid and unenforceable provision in light of the tenor of this Agreement, and, upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement. In addition, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting or reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then applicable law.

Section 5.10Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each such duplicate counterpart shall constitute an original, any one of which may be introduced in evidence or used for any other purpose without the production of its duplicate counterpart. Moreover, notwithstanding that any of the parties did not execute the same counterpart, each counterpart shall be deemed for all purposes to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument, binding on all of the parties hereto.

Section 5.11Advice of Counsel. Both parties hereto acknowledge that they have had the opportunity to seek and obtain the advice of counsel before entering into this Agreement and have done so to the extent desired, and have fully read the Agreement and understand the meaning and import of all the terms hereof.

Section 5.12Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets) and shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. This Agreement is personal to the Executive, and the Executive shall not assign or delegate the Executive’s rights or duties under this Agreement, and any such assignment or delegation shall be null and void.

7

Section 5.13Agreement to Take Actions. Each party to this Agreement shall execute and deliver such documents, certificates, agreements and other instruments, and shall take all other actions, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to perform the Executive’s or its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 5.14No Attachment. Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation or to execution, attachment, levy or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void and of no effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.14 shall preclude the assumption of such rights by executors, administrators or other legal representatives of the Executive or the Executive’s estate and their assigning any rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto.

Section 5.15Source of Payment. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of any applicable Executive benefit plan, all payments provided for under this Agreement shall be paid in cash from the general funds of the Company. The Company shall not be required to establish a special or separate fund or other segregation of assets to assure such payments, and, if the Company shall make any investments to aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder, the Executive shall have no right, title or interest whatever in or to any such investments except as may otherwise be expressly provided in a separate written instrument relating to such investments. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the Company and the Executive or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company hereunder, such right, without prejudice to rights which employees may have, shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Company. The Executive shall not look to the owners of the Company for the satisfaction of any obligations of the Company under this Agreement.

Section 5.16Tax Withholding. The Company or other payor is authorized to withhold from any benefit provided or payment due hereunder, the amount of withholding taxes due any federal, state or local authority in respect of such benefit or payment and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Compensation Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Executive will be solely responsible for all taxes assessed against the Executive with respect to the compensation and benefits described in this Agreement, other than typical employer-paid taxes such as FICA, and the Company makes no representations as to the tax treatment of such compensation and benefits.

Section 5.17409A Compliance. All payments under this Agreement are intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). As used in this Agreement, the “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To the extent permitted under applicable regulations and/or other guidance of general applicability issued pursuant to Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to modify this Agreement to conform with any or all relevant provisions regarding compensation and/or benefits so that such compensation and benefits are exempt from the provisions of Section 409A and/or otherwise comply with such provisions so as to avoid the tax consequences set forth in Section 409A and to assure that no payment or benefit shall be subject to an “additional tax” under Section 409A. To the extent that any provision in this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, or to the extent any provision in this Agreement must be modified to comply with Section 409A, such provision shall be read in such a manner so that no payment due to the Executive shall be subject to an “additional tax” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. If necessary to comply with the restriction in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code concerning payments to “specified employees,” any payment on account of the Executive’s separation from service that would otherwise be due hereunder within six (6) months after such separation shall be delayed until the first business day of the seventh month following the Termination Date and the first such payment shall include the cumulative amount of any payments (without interest) that would have been paid prior to such date if not for such restriction. Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. All reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of Section 4.1 or 4.2 unless the Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h). In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the Executive by Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.

Section 5.18280G Modified Cutback.

8

(a)If any payment, benefit or distribution of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable, provided or to be provided, or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Parachute Payments”) would subject the Executive to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), the Parachute Payments shall be reduced so that the maximum amount of the Parachute Payments (after reduction) shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than the amount which would cause the Parachute Payments to be subject to the Excise Tax; provided that the Parachute Payments shall only be reduced to the extent the after-tax value of amounts received by the Executive after application of the above reduction would exceed the after-tax value of the amounts received without application of such reduction. For this purpose, the after-tax value of an amount shall be determined taking into account all federal, state, and local income, employment and excise taxes applicable to such amount. Unless the Executive shall have given prior written notice to the Company to effectuate a reduction in the Parachute Payments if such a reduction is required, which notice shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 409A to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest thereunder, then the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Parachute Payments by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments (with the payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), then reducing or eliminating accelerated vesting of stock options or similar awards, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Parachute Payments; provided, that no such reduction or elimination shall apply to any non-qualified deferred compensation amounts (within the meaning of Section 409A) to the extent such reduction or elimination would accelerate or defer the timing of such payment in manner that does not comply with Section 409A.

(b)An initial determination as to whether (x) any of the Parachute Payments received by the Executive in connection with the occurrence of a change in the ownership or control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company shall be subject to the Excise Tax, and (y) the amount of any reduction, if any, that may be required pursuant to the previous paragraph, shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”) prior to the consummation of such change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company. The Executive shall be furnished with notice of all determinations made as to the Excise Tax payable with respect to the Executive’s Parachute Payments, together with the related calculations of the Accounting Firm, promptly after such determinations and calculations have been received by the Company.

(c)For purposes of this Section 5.18, (i) no portion of the Parachute Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the Executive shall have effectively waived in writing prior to the date of payment of the Parachute Payments shall be taken into account; (ii) no portion of the Parachute Payments shall be taken into account which in the opinion of the Accounting Firm does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code; (iii) the Parachute Payments shall be reduced only to the extent necessary so that the Parachute Payments (other than those referred to in the immediately preceding clause (i) or (ii)) in their entirety constitute reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code or are otherwise not subject to disallowance as deductions, in the opinion of the auditor or tax counsel referred to in such clause (ii); and (iv) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Parachute Payments shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors based on Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code and the regulations for applying those sections of the Code, or on substantial authority within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement effective as of the day and year first above written.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization

Note 1. Organization

CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002 under the name RexRay Corporation and, effective August 27, 2015, reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company is a late-stage biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. Leronlimab is in a class of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies designed to address unmet medical needs for which the Company is focused on developing treatments in the areas of human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”), cancer, immunology, and novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”).

Leronlimab belongs to a class of HIV therapies known as entry inhibitors which block HIV from entering and infecting specific cells. For cancer and immunology, the CCR5 receptor also appears to be implicated in human metastasis and in immune-mediated illnesses such as triple-negative breast cancer, other metastatic solid tumor cancers, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). For COVID-19, the Company believes leronlimab may be shown to provide therapeutic benefit by enhancing the immune response and also mitigating the “cytokine storm” that leads to morbidity and mortality in patients experiencing this syndrome.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CytoDyn Operations Inc., and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, summary of significant accounting policies and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021, for the year ended May 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). Accordingly, certain disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and normally included in Annual Reports on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted from this report; however, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

It is the opinion of management that all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income or loss; therefore, its net income or loss is identical to its comprehensive income or loss. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year and prior quarter amounts shown in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, or net cash flows as previously reported.

Going Concern

The consolidated accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company

incurred a net loss of approximately $30.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $542.7 million as of August 31, 2021. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its product candidate, leronlimab, obtain approval to commercialize leronlimab from regulatory agencies, continue to outsource manufacturing of leronlimab, and ultimately achieve initial revenues and attain profitability. The Company continues to engage in significant research and development activities related to leronlimab for multiple indications and expects to incur significant research and development expenses in the future primarily related to its clinical trials. These research and development activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional funding from other traditional sources. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information, such as the economic considerations related to the impact that the recent coronavirus disease could have on our significant accounting estimates and assumptions. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various market and other relevant, appropriate assumptions. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, those relating to stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, research and development expenses, determination of right of use assets under lease transactions and related lease obligations, commitments and contingencies, and the assumptions used to value warrants, warrant modifications and useful lives for property and equipment and related depreciation calculations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash

Cash is maintained at federally insured financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Balances in excess of federally insured limits as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021 approximated $6.3 million and $33.7 million, respectively.

Identified Intangible Assets

The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets such as intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group is less than its carrying value, the asset is considered impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no impairment charges during the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020. The value of the Company’s patents would be significantly impaired by any adverse developments as they relate to the clinical trials pursuant to the patents acquired as discussed in Note 7.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for and recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company’s revenue is generated solely through the sale of leronlimab. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

Contracts with customers are generally in the form of a written purchase order, that outlines the promised goods and the agreed upon price. Such orders are often accompanied by a master supply or distribution agreement that establishes the terms and conditions, rights of the parties, delivery terms, and pricing. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including creditworthiness of the customer.

For the Company’s sole contract to date, the customer submits purchase orders for the purchase of a specified quantity of leronlimab vials; therefore, the delivery of the ordered quantity per the purchase order is accounted for as one performance obligation. The Company does not offer discounts or rebates.

The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon rates per vial in the purchase order or master supply agreement applied to the quantity of leronlimab vials that was requested by the customer in the purchase order. As the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation, the delivery of the product to the customer, all of the transaction price is allocated to the one performance obligation. Therefore, upon delivery of the product quantity equal to the quantity requested in the purchase order, there are no remaining performance obligations. The Company’s shipping and handling activities are considered a fulfillment cost. The Company has elected to exclude all sales and value added taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. The Company has not adjusted the transaction price for significant financing since the time period between the transfer of goods and payment is less than one year.

The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer. Management applies judgment in evaluating when a customer obtains control of the promised good which is generally when the product is delivered to the customer. The Company’s customer contract includes a standard assurance warranty to guarantee that its products comply with agreed specifications. The Company grants a conditional right of return of product in the customer’s inventory upon an adverse regulatory ruling. The Company continually evaluates the probability of such occurrence and if necessary, will defer revenue recognized based on its estimate of the right of return, which takes into account the probability that an adverse ruling will occur and its estimate of product in the customer’s inventory.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s s revenues are derived solely from the sale of leronlimab vials. The Company believes the disaggregation of revenues, as seen on the consolidated statement of operations, is an appropriate level of detail for its primary activity.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s performance obligations for its contracts with customers are satisfied at a point in time through the delivery of leronlimab vials to its customer. Accordingly, the Company did not have any contract assets or liabilities as of August 31, 2021. The Company did not have revenue during the three months ended August 31, 2020 and did not have any contract assets or liabilities as of that date. For all periods presented, the Company did not recognize revenue from amounts that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period. In addition, for all periods presented, there was no revenue recognized in a reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

Performance Obligations

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under the Company’s contract, each unit of product delivered to the customer represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future deliveries of the product are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Clinical trial costs incurred through third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed. Contingent milestone payments that are due to third parties under research and development collaboration arrangements or other contractual agreements are expensed when the milestone conditions are probable and the amount of payment is reasonably estimable. See Notes 8 and 9.

Inventory

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. Inventories consist of raw materials, bulk drug substance, and drug product in unlabeled vials to be used for commercialization of the Company’s biologic, leronlimab, which is in the regulatory approval process. The consumption of raw materials during production is classified as work-in-progress until saleable. Once it is determined to be in saleable condition, following regulatory approval, inventory is classified as finished goods. Inventory is evaluated for recoverability by considering the likelihood that revenue will be obtained from the future sale of the related inventory, in light of the status of the product within the regulatory approval process.

The Company evaluates its inventory levels on a quarterly basis and writes down inventory that has become obsolete or has a cost in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory quantities in excess of expected requirements. In assessing the lower of cost or net realizable value for pre-launch inventory, the Company relies on independent analyses provided by third parties knowledgeable about the range of likely commercial prices comparable to current comparable commercial product.

The Company capitalizes inventories procured or produced in preparation for product launches sufficient to support estimated initial market demand. Typically, capitalization of such inventory begins when the results of clinical trials have reached a status sufficient to support regulatory approval, uncertainties regarding ultimate regulatory approval have been significantly reduced, and the Company has determined it is probable that these capitalized costs will provide future economic benefit in excess of capitalized costs. The material factors considered by the Company in evaluating these uncertainties include the receipt and analysis of positive Phase 3 clinical trial results for the underlying product candidate, results from meetings with the relevant regulatory authorities prior to the filing of regulatory applications, and status of the Company’s regulatory applications. The Company closely monitors the status of the product within the regulatory review and approval process, including all relevant communications with regulatory authorities. If the Company is aware of any specific material risks or contingencies other than the normal regulatory review and approval process or if there are any specific issues identified relating to safety, efficacy, manufacturing, marketing or labeling, the related inventory may no longer qualify for capitalization.

Anticipated future sales, shelf lives, and expected approval date are considered when evaluating realizability of capitalized inventory. The shelf-life of a product is determined as part of the regulatory approval process; however, in assessing whether to capitalize pre-launch inventory, the Company considers the product stability data of all of the pre-approval inventory procured or produced to date to determine whether there is adequate shelf life. As inventories approach their shelf-life expiration, the Company may perform additional stability testing to determine if the inventory is still viable, which can result in an extension of its shelf-life. Further, in addition to performing additional stability testing, certain raw materials inventory may be sold in its then current condition prior to reaching expiration.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term and long-term lease liabilities, and short-term and long-term debt. As of August 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Short-term and long-term debt are reported at amortized cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets which approximate fair value. The remaining financial instruments are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts that approximate current fair values.

From time to time, the Company may have derivative financial instruments which are recorded at fair value, as required by U.S. GAAP. Derivative financial instruments consist of financial instruments that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g., interest rate, security price, variable conversion rate or other variables), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as their instruments are recorded as a derivative liability, at fair value, and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as it relates to warrant liability, with changes in fair value reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The fair value hierarchy specifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

● Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.

● Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology which are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. These Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that cannot be corroborated with observable market data.

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards established by the fair market value of the instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions including stock price volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates, as of the grant date. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, for stock-based awards with defined vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service periods, when designated milestones have been achieved or when pre-defined performance conditions are met. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and will revise its estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested forfeitures at 0% for all periods presented. Periodically, the Company will issue restricted common stock to executives or third parties as compensation for services rendered. Such stock awards are valued at fair market value on the effective date of the Company’s obligation.

The Company periodically issues stock options or warrants to consultants and advisors for various services. The Black-Scholes option pricing model, as described more fully above, is used to measure the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of issuance. The Company recognizes the compensation expense associated with the equity instruments over the requisite service or vesting period.

Debt

The Company has historically issued promissory notes at a discount and has incurred direct debt issuance costs. Debt discount and issuance costs are netted against the debt and amortized over the life of the convertible promissory note in accordance with ASC 470-35, Debt Subsequent Measurement.

Offering Costs

The Company periodically incurs direct incremental costs associated with the sale of equity securities as fully described in Note 10. The costs are recorded as a component of equity upon receipt of the proceeds.

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted for preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share would include the weighted average common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share.

The table below shows the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise, vesting or conversion of outstanding options, warrants, unvested restricted stock including those subject to performance conditions, convertible preferred stock (including undeclared dividends), and convertible notes that were not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020:

	Three months ended August 31,
(in thousands)	2021	2020
Stock options, warrants & unvested restricted stock	60,141	86,704
Convertible notes payable	12,000	7,801
Convertible preferred stock	33,858	30,325

Income Taxes

The Company computes its quarterly taxes under the effective tax rate method based on applying an anticipated annual effective rate to its year-to-date income, except for discrete items. Income taxes for discrete items are computed and recorded in the period that the specific transaction occurs.

The Company’s net tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, was zero. The Company’s effective tax rate of 0% differed from the statutory rate of 21% because the Company has a full valuation allowance as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021, as management does not consider it more than likely than not that the benefits from the net deferred taxes will be realized.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The objective of the standard was to improve areas of U.S. GAAP by removing certain exceptions permitted by ASC 740 and clarifying existing guidance to facilitate consistent application. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on June 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not impact the Company’s statement of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or financial statement disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models that separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted on June 1, 2021 ASU No. 2020-06 effective for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU No. 2020-06 did not affect the Company’s statement of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or financials statement disclosures.

Inventories

Note 3. Inventories

The Company’s pre-launch inventories consist of raw materials purchased for commercial production and work-in-progress inventory related to the substantially completed commercial production of pre-launch inventories of leronlimab to support the Company’s expected approval of the product as a combination therapy for HIV patients in the United States. Work-in-progress consists of bulk drug substance, which is the manufactured drug stored in bulk storage, and drug product, which is the manufactured drug in unlabeled vials.

Inventories as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021 are presented below:

(in thousands)	August 31, 2021		May 31, 2021
Raw materials	$	26,034	$	28,085
Work-in-progress		65,524		65,394
Total	$	91,558	$	93,479

The Company believes that material uncertainties related to the ultimate regulatory approval of leronlimab for commercial sale have been significantly reduced based on positive data from its Phase 3 clinical trial for leronlimab as a combination therapy with HAART for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients, as well as information gathered from meetings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) related to its Biologic License Application (“BLA”) for this indication. The Company submitted the last two portions of the BLA (clinical and manufacturing) with the FDA in April 2020 and May 2020. In July 2020, the Company received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA regarding its BLA submission requesting additional information. In August and September 2020, the FDA provided written responses to the Company’s questions and met telephonically with key Company personnel and its clinical research organization concerning its BLA to expedite the resubmission of its BLA.

The deficiencies cited by the FDA in its July 2020 Refusal to File letter consisted of administrative deficiencies, omissions, corrections to data presentation, and related analyses and clarifications of manufacturing processes.

The Company is working with new consultants to cure the BLA deficiencies and resubmit the BLA in order to enable the FDA to perform their substantive review. The Company commenced its resubmission of the BLA in July 2021 and currently expects it to be completed in the first calendar quarter of 2022. The Company anticipates that when the FDA completes their review, leronlimab will be approved and market acceptance of leronlimab as a treatment for HIV will be forthcoming, enabling us to realize the amount of pre-launch inventory on-hand prior to shelf-life expiration. Accordingly, management believes the Company will realize future economic benefit in excess of the carrying value of its pre-launch inventory.

The expiration of remaining shelf-life of the Company’s inventories consists of the following as of August 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Expiration period ending August 31,	Remaining shelf-life		Raw materials		Work-in-progress bulk drug product		Work-in-progress finished drug product in vials		Total inventories
2022	0 to 12 months	$	4,547	$	-	$	-	$	4,547
2023	12 or 24 months		17,457		-		-		17,457
2024	24 to 36 months		550		-		-		550
2025	36 to 48 months		1,626		-		45,236		46,862
2026	48 to 60 months		704		-		-		704
Thereafter	60 or more months		2,977		20,288		-		23,265
Total inventories			27,861		20,288		45,236		93,385
Inventories reserved			(1,827)		-		-		(1,827)
Total inventories, net		$	26,034	$	20,288	$	45,236	$	91,558

When the remaining shelf-life of drug product inventory is less than 12 months, it is likely that it will not be accepted by potential customers. However, as inventories approach their shelf-life expiration, the Company may perform

additional stability testing to determine if the inventory is still viable, which can result in an extension of its shelf-life. Further, in addition to performing additional stability testing, certain raw materials inventory may be sold in its then current condition prior to reaching expiration. If the Company determines it is not likely shelf-life will be able to be extended or the inventory cannot be sold prior to expiration, the Company will write down the inventory to its net realizable value. For the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized expense related to the write-down of obsolete inventory of $1.1 million and none, respectively.

Long-term Convertible Note—November 2020 Note

On November 10, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note with a two-year term to an institutional accredited investor in the initial principal amount of $28.5 million (the “November 2020 Note”). The Company received consideration of $25.0 million, reflecting an original issue discount of $3.4 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million. The November 2020 Note is secured by all the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.

During the year ended May 31, 2021 and subsequent to the issuance of the November 2020 Note, the Company and the institutional investor entered into separately negotiated agreements whereby portions of the November 2020 Note were portioned into new notes, and the November 2020 Note was reduced by the balance of the new notes. The new notes were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock during the year ended May 31, 2021. Please refer to Note 5, Convertible Instruments, in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K for additional discussion.

Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Note at an annual rate of 10%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest will accrue at the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, upon any event of default, the investor may accelerate the outstanding balance payable under the November 2020 Note; upon such acceleration, the outstanding balance will increase automatically by 15%, 10% or 5%, depending on the nature of the event of default.

The investor may convert all or any part the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Note into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and volume and ownership limitations specified in the November 2020 Note. In addition to standard anti-dilution adjustments, the conversion price of the November 2020 Note is subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price will be automatically reduced to equal the effective price per share in any new offering by the Company of equity securities that have registration rights, are registered or become registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The November 2020 Note provides for liquidated damages

upon failure to deliver common stock within specified timeframes and requires the Company to maintain a share reservation of 6.0 million shares of common stock.

On June 11, 2021, June 21, 2021 and June 30, 2021, in satisfaction of the June 2021 debt redemption amount, the Company and the investor entered into separately negotiated exchange agreements, pursuant to which the November 2020 Note was partitioned into new notes (the “June 2021 Partitioned Notes”) with a principal balance equal to $6.0 million. The Company and the holder of the November 2020 Note agreed to defer the remaining $1.5 million June 2021 debt redemption amount. The outstanding balance of the November 2020 Note was reduced by the June 2021 Partitioned Notes, and the Company and the investor exchanged the June 2021 Partitioned Notes for approximately 4.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

On July 14, 2021 and July 27, 2021, in satisfaction of the July 2021 debt reduction amount, the Company and the November 2020 Note holder entered into exchange agreements, pursuant to which the November 2020 Note was partitioned into new notes (the “July 2021 Partitioned Notes”) with a principal amount equal to $4.0 million. The Company and the holder of the November 2020 Note agreed to defer the remaining $3.5 million July 2021 debt redemption amount. The outstanding balance of the November 2020 Note was reduced by the July 2021 Partitioned Notes. The Company and the investor exchanged the July 2021 Partitioned Notes for approximately 3.3 million shares of common stock.

On August 4, 2021, August 16, 2021 and August 30, 2021, in satisfaction of the August 2021 debt reduction amount, the Company and the November 2020 Note holder entered into exchange agreements, pursuant to which the remaining principal and accrued balance of the November 2020 Note was partitioned into new notes (the “August 2021 Partitioned Notes”) with a principal amount equal to approximately $4.9 million. The Company and the holder of the November 2020 Note agreed to defer the remaining approximately $2.6 million August 2021 debt reduction amount. The Company and the investor exchanged the August 2021 Partitioned Notes for approximately 4.4 million shares of common stock. Following the redemption, the November 2020 Note has been fully satisfied and there is no outstanding balance as of August 31, 2021.

In connection with the June 2021 Partitioned Notes, July 2021 Partitioned Notes, and August 2021 Partitioned Notes, the Company analyzed the restructured notes for potential requirement of debt extinguishment accounting under ASC 470, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments. The Company concluded debt extinguishment accounting treatment to be necessary and accordingly recorded aggregate debt extinguishment loss of approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021, as the difference between the fair market value of the shares issued and the carrying value of the debt retired, which included the amortization of the relative debt discount and issuance costs.

Amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs associated with the November 2020 Note during the three months ended August 31, 2021 amounted to approximately $0.1 million recorded as interest expense.

Long-term Convertible Note—April 2, 2021 Note

On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note with a two-year term with the holder of the November 2020 Note in the initial principal amount of $28.5 million (the “April 2, 2021 Note”). The Company received consideration of $25.0 million, reflecting an original issue discount of $3.4 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million. The April 2, 2021 Note is secured by all the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.

Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note at an annual rate of 10%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest will accrue at the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, upon any event of default, the investor may accelerate the outstanding balance payable under the April 2, 2021 Note; upon such acceleration, the outstanding balance will increase automatically by 15%, 10% or 5%, depending on the nature of the event of default.

The investor may convert all or any part the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain

adjustments and volume and ownership limitations specified in the April 2, 2021 Note. In addition to standard anti-dilution adjustments, the conversion price of the April 2, 2021 Note is subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price will be automatically reduced to equal the effective price per share in any new offering by the Company of equity securities that have registration rights, are registered or become registered under the Securities Act. The April 2, 2021 Note provides for liquidated damages upon failure to deliver common stock within specified timeframes and requires the Company to maintain a share reservation of 6.0 million shares of common stock.

The investor may redeem any portion of the April 2, 2021 Note, at any time beginning six months after the issue date, upon three trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $3.5 million. The April 2, 2021 Note requires the Company to satisfy its redemption obligations in cash within three trading days of the Company’s receipt of such notice. The Company may prepay the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note, in part or in full, plus a 15% premium, at any time upon 15 trading days’ notice. In addition, beginning in the month of May 2021 and for each of the following five months, the Company is obligated to reduce the outstanding balance of the April 2, 2021 Note by $7.5 million per month (the “Debt Reduction Amount”). Payments the Company makes under the November 2020 and April 23, 2021 Notes may be applied toward the payment of each Debt Reduction Amount. These payments were not subject to the 15% prepayment premium, which would otherwise be triggered if the Company were to make payments against such notes exceeding the allowed maximum monthly redemption amount. Consistent with ASC-470-50-40-10, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company will assess the restructuring of the outstanding agreements with the investor as either a debt modification or debt extinguishment through performance of the 10% cash flow test. The Company will assess if the change in present value of future cash flows is less than 10% for all modifications, and therefore, accounted for the restructuring as a debt modification.

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement and the April 2, 2021 Note, the Company must obtain the investor’s consent before assuming additional debt with aggregate net proceeds to the Company of less than $50.0 million. In the event of any such approval, the outstanding principal balance of the April 2, 2021 Note will increase automatically by 5% upon the issuance of such additional debt.

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-258944) with the SEC on August 19, 2021, which was declared effective on October 6, 2021, registering a number of shares of common stock sufficient to convert the entire principal balance of the April 2, 2021 Note and the April 23, 2021 Note described below.

The embedded conversion feature in the April 2, 2021 Note was analyzed under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine if it achieved equity classification or required bifurcation as a derivative instrument. The embedded conversion feature was considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and met the conditions for equity classification. Accordingly, the embedded conversion feature does not require bifurcation from the host instrument. The Company determined there was no beneficial conversion feature since the effective conversion rate was greater than the market value of the Company’s common stock upon issuance. Certain default put provisions were not considered to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument, but the Company concluded that the value of these default put provisions was de minimis. The Company evaluates the value of the default put provisions each reporting period to determine if the value becomes material to the financial statements.

Amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs associated with the April 2, 2021 Note during the three months ended August 31, 2021 was approximately $0.4 million. The unamortized discount and issuance costs balance for the April 2, 2021 Note is approximately $2.8 million as of August 31, 2021. The accrued interest balance for the April 2, 2021 Note is approximately $1.2 million as of August 31, 2021, which included approximately $0.7 million of interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2021. The outstanding balance on the April 2, 2021 Note, including accrued interest, was approximately $29.7 million as of August 31, 2021.

The Company and the holder of the April 2, 2021 Note agreed to defer the September 2021 Debt Redemption Amount of $7.5 million.

Long-term Convertible Note—April 23, 2021 Note

On April 23, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note with a two-year term to an institutional accredited investor affiliated with the holder of the November 2020 and April 2, 2021 Notes in the initial principal amount of $28.5 million (the “April 23, 2021 Note”). The Company received consideration of $25.0 million, reflecting an original issue discount of $3.4 million and issuance costs of $0.1 million. The April 23, 2021 Note is secured by all the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.

Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the April 23, 2021 Note at an annual rate of 10%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest will accrue at the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, upon any event of default, the investor may accelerate the outstanding balance payable under the April 23, 2021 Note; upon such acceleration, the outstanding balance will increase automatically by 15%, 10% or 5%, depending on the nature of the event of default. The events of default are listed in Section 4 of the April 23, 2021 Note filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 29, 2021 and incorporated by reference.

The investor may convert all or any part the outstanding balance of the April 23, 2021 Note into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and volume and ownership limitations specified in the April 23, 2021 Note. In addition to standard anti-dilution adjustments, the conversion price of the April 23, 2021 Note is subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price will be automatically reduced to equal the effective price per share in any new offering by the Company of equity securities that have registration rights, are registered or become registered under the Securities Act. The April 23, 2021 Note provides for liquidated damages upon failure to deliver common stock within specified timeframes and requires the Company to maintain a share reservation of 6.0 million shares of common stock.

The investor may redeem any portion of the April 23, 2021 Note, at any time beginning six months after the issue date, upon three trading days’ notice, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $7.0 million. The April 23, 2021 Note requires the Company to satisfy its redemption obligations in cash within three trading days of the Company’s receipt of such notice. The Company may prepay the outstanding balance of the April 23, 2021 Note, in part or in full, plus a 15% premium, at any time upon 15 trading days’ notice.

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement and the April 23, 2021 Note, the Company must obtain the investor’s consent before assuming additional debt with aggregate net proceeds to the Company of less than $75.0 million. In the event of any such approval, the outstanding principal balance of the April 23, 2021 Note will increase automatically by 5% upon the issuance of such additional debt.

The embedded conversion feature in the April 23, 2021 Note was analyzed under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to determine if it achieved equity classification or required bifurcation as a derivative instrument.

The unamortized discount and issuance costs balance for the April 23, 2021 Note was approximately $2.9 million as of August 31, 2021. The accrued interest balance for the April 23, 2021 Note was approximately $1.0 million at August 31, 2021, which included approximately $0.7 million of interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2021. The outstanding balance on the April 23, 2021 Note, including accrued interest, was approximately $29.5 million as of August 31, 2021.

The 2012 Plan coverered a total of 50 million shares of common stock. Effective June 1, 2021, the amount covered and available shares under the 2012 Plan increased approximately by 6.3 million shares resulting from a provision in the 2012 Plan under which the total number of shares available to be issued automatically increases on the first day of each fiscal year in an amount equal to 1% of the total outstanding shares on the last day of the prior fiscal year, unless the Board determines otherwise before the fiscal yearend. As of August 31, 2021, there were approximately 26.1 million shares remaining available for future stock-based grants under the 2012 Plan.

Stock Options and Other Equity Awards

During the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company granted stock options, covering a total of approximately 3.0 million shares of common stock, to employees with an exercise price of $1.32 per share.

The original awards covered a total of 4.35 million PSUs, of which approximately 3.9 million PSUs were forfeited. In connection with the approximate 0.4 million shares of common stock that vested, the Company recognized approximately $1.3 million in stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021.

During the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company issued approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock in connection with the time-based vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

License Agreements

Note 8. License Agreements

The Company has two license agreements with a third-party licensor covering the licensor’s “system know-how” technology with respect to the Company’s use of proprietary cell lines to manufacture new leronlimab material. The Company accrues annual license fees of £0.6 million (approximately $0.8 million utilizing current exchange rates), which fees are payable annually in December. Future annual license fees and royalty rate will vary depending on whether the Company manufactures leronlimab, utilizes the third-party licensor as a contract manufacturer, or utilizes an independent party as a contract manufacturer. The licensor does not charge an annual license fee when it serves as the

manufacturer. In addition, the Company will incur royalties of up to 0.75% to 2.0% of net sales, depending on who serves as the manufacturer, when the Company commences its first commercial sale; such royalties will continue for the duration of the license agreement. As of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021, the Company recorded a prepaid asset of approximately $0.1 million related to this arrangement.

Commitments

There were no material changes in commitments during the three months ended August 31, 2021. Please refer to Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, in the 2021 Form 10-K for additional information with regard to the Company’s commitments.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings. The Company recognizes accruals for such proceedings to the extent a loss is determined to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The best estimate of a loss within a possible range is accrued; however, if no estimate in the range is more probable than another, then the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If it is determined that a material loss is not probable but reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the possible loss is disclosed. It is not possible to determine the outcome of proceedings that have not been concluded, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Company, as the outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and the outcomes could differ significantly from recognized accruals. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a recognized accrual or if an accrual had not been made, could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of August 31, 2021, the Company did not record any legal accruals related to the outcomes of the matters described below.

Delaware Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit

On April 24, 2020, certain stockholders of the Company (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a derivative action in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”), alleging claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment against the Company’s CEO, former CFOs, CMO, and certain current and former members of the Board (the “Defendants”), in connection with certain equity awards to these individuals granted in December 2019 and January 2020 (the “December 2019 Awards”). The Company was named a nominal defendant in the lawsuit. The Plaintiffs demanded the rescission of the December 2019 Awards, a finding that the named directors breached their fiduciary duty to the Company, and an unspecified amount of damages. The Company appointed a Special Litigation Committee (the “SLC”), consisting solely of independent directors not named in the complaint to investigate the allegations in the complaint.

On December 15, 2020, the Defendants reached an agreement in principle with the SLC (collectively, the “Parties”) to resolve the lawsuit. On December 18, 2020, the Parties executed a memorandum of understanding outlining the key terms of their agreement. On January 27, 2021, the Parties entered into a proposed Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement, and Release (the “Stipulation”) to settle the derivative action. Pursuant to the Stipulation, the current directors agreed to implement a series of corporate governance reforms related to director and executive officer compensation and certain Defendants agreed to forfeit a substantial portion of the December 2019 Awards following approval of the settlement by the Delaware Court in exchange for a release of claims and the dismissal of the derivative action with prejudice.

The corporate governance reforms to be implemented pursuant to the Stipulation included:

• exploring the addition of a new director who meets NASDAQ standards for independence;

• reconstitution of the Compensation Committee to consist of at least three independent directors; and

• adoption of a five-year executive officer and director compensation policy requiring the Compensation Committee to:

• develop and approve compensation,

• retain and receive written recommendations of an independent compensation advisor to assist the Compensation Committee with the determination of the types and levels of compensation;

• perform at a minimum an annual assessment of compensation levels and structure of its peer group based on discussions with its independent compensation advisor with regard to relevance, in particular, companies in the same industry and of similar market capitalization;

• only determine compensation on an annual basis with the exception of new additions, promotions, or exceptional circumstances as determined by the Compensation Committee; and

• adopt a prohibition on bonuses for nonemployee directors based on Company performance.

The Board appointed a new director, expanded the membership of the Compensation Committee, and approved the executive officer and director compensation policy as described above effective prior to the deadline set forth in the Stipulation.

The December 2019 Awards were forfeited effective June 4, 2021 as follows: 100% of the December 2019 Awards to Michael A. Klump, Jordan G. Naydenov, and David F. Welch, Ph.D., covering 2.25 million shares, 60% of the December 2019 Award to Scott A. Kelly, M.D., covering 0.75 million shares; and 100% of the warrant to acquire 2.0 million shares issued to Nader Z. Pourhassan, Ph.D. In addition, Dr. Pourhassan forfeited vested options to purchase approximately 0.4 million shares from the December 2019 Awards. The Delaware Court held hearings, on April 19 and June 4, 2021, and approved the Stipulation at the hearing on June 4, 2021.

On March 19, 2021, the Plaintiffs filed a brief, agreeing to the proposed settlement and seeking an award of approximately $4.1 million for bringing the lawsuit. Plaintiff’s demand was based on the claimed value or benefit to the Company and its stockholders from the value of the forfeited equity awards, in addition to the time incurred by the Plaintiffs’ attorneys with regard to this action. On April 8, 2021, the SLC filed a brief opposing the Plaintiffs’ motion, contending that the amount of the award demanded was not legally supported. Following a hearing on June 4, 2021, the Delaware Court issued a ruling granting the Plaintiffs’ fee application in the amount of $3.0 million, inclusive of expenses, for which the Company fully accrued as of May 31, 2021. The Company timely satisfied the award obligation and terms of the Stipulation during the three months ended August 31, 2021.

September 2020 Washington Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit

On September 10, 2020, the same Plaintiffs as in the Delaware Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit filed another derivative action against CEO Nader Z. Pourhassan, Ph.D. claiming that he had violated Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to certain personal stock transactions in the Company’s stock. The parties filed cross-motions to dismiss. On March 12, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington (the “U.S. District Court”) granted Dr. Pourhassan’s motion to dismiss with prejudice. On April 9, 2021, the Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals appealing the decision of the U.S. District Court. The Plaintiffs filed their opening brief with the Ninth Circuit on July 8, 2021. Dr. Pourhassan filed a reply brief on September 8, 2021, and on September 20, 2021 the Plaintiffs filed for an extension of time to file their reply brief no later than October 29, 2021.

Pestell Employment Dispute

On July 25, 2019, the Company’s Board terminated the employment of Dr. Pestell, the Company’s former Chief Medical Officer, for cause pursuant to the terms of Dr. Pestell’s employment agreement. On August 22, 2019, Dr. Pestell filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Pestell v. CytoDyn Inc., et al.), against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board, alleging breach of the employment agreement, a failure to pay wages and defamation, among other claims, and seeking damages related to severance entitlements for a non-cause termination under the employment agreement and a stock restriction agreement, among other relief. The treatment of those entitlements, including severance and approximately 0.4 million unvested stock options and 8.3 shares

of unvested restricted common stock, in each case granted or issued on November 16, 2018 and which vest ratably over three years or upon a non-cause termination, are expected to be determined by the outcome of this litigation. It is possible that if a court ruled in favor of Dr. Pestell on the equity entitlements, it would award damages based on a decline in the value of the shares. On November 2, 2020, the Court dismissed Dr. Pestell’s wage claims with prejudice and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board were dismissed from the proceeding. The Company filed its answer and counterclaims thereafter. A bench trial is currently set for April 2022. The Company disputes all of Dr. Pestell’s claims and intends to vigorously defend the action. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, that the Company may incur.

ProstaGene Arbitration

On March 19, 2021, the Company concluded a five-day arbitration hearing concerning a claim by ProstaGene and counterclaims by the Company for approximately 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock held in escrow as holdback stock pursuant to the transaction agreement for the acquisition of certain intangible assets from ProstaGene in November 2018. The Company recognized a full impairment charge against the net carrying value of a certain acquired intangible asset in the quarter ended February 28, 2021. See Note 7 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ProstaGene also sought monetary damages, in an amount to be determined by the arbitration panel, including any lost value in stock price and its attorney fees and costs. Post-hearing briefing concluded mid-May 2021. The Company disputed ProstaGene’s claim and has vigorously defended against that claim. Further, the Company believes its counterclaims are meritorious and the Company vigorously prosecuted its counterclaims. Nonetheless, on July 2, 2021, an arbitration panel determined ProstaGene was entitled to release of the shares, as well as a cash monetary award in the amount of approximately $6.2 million, plus interest, fees and costs estimated to total approximately $1.4 million. These amounts were fully accrued for as of May 31, 2021, and the Company satisfied the arbitration award obligations in July 2021.

Securities Class Action Lawsuit

On March 17, 2021, a stockholder filed a putative class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against the Company and certain current and former officers. The complaint generally alleges the defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the viability of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19. The plaintiff seeks a ruling for the case to proceed as a class action and unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On April 9, 2021, a second stockholder filed a similar putative class action lawsuit in the same court, which the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on July 23, 2021. On August 9, 2021, the court appointed lead plaintiffs for the lawsuit; a motion to reconsider the court’s lead plaintiff order is pending. The Company and the individual defendants deny any allegations of wrongdoing in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the matter. Since this case is in an early stage where the number of plaintiffs is not known, and the claims do not specify an amount of damages, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss the Company may incur.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits

On June 4, 2021, a stockholder filed a purported derivative lawsuit against certain of the Company’s current and former officers, certain board members, and the Company as a nominal defendant, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington (“First Derivative Suit”). The complaint generally alleges the director defendants breached fiduciary duties owed to the Company by allowing the Company to make false and misleading statements regarding the viability of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19 and failing to maintain an adequate system of oversight and internal controls. The complaint asserts claims against one or more individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment, and seeks to recover on behalf of the Company for any liability the Company incurs as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct. The complaint also seeks contribution on behalf of the Company from certain individual defendants for their alleged violations of federal securities laws. The complaint seeks declaratory and equitable relief, an unspecified amount of damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On June 25, 2021, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against the same defendants in the same court (“Second Derivative Suit”), which includes allegations and claims similar to those made in the First Derivative Suit, adding claims against certain individual defendants based on allegedly false and misleading proxy

statement disclosures and for breach of fiduciary duty arising from alleged insider trading, and seeking similar relief as the First Derivative Suit. On August 18, 2021, a third shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against the same defendants in the same court, which includes allegations and claims similar to those made in the First Derivative Suit and Second Derivative Suit. The court has consolidated these three lawsuits for all purposes (“Consolidated Derivative Suit”). The Company and the individual defendants deny any allegations of wrongdoing in the complaints and intend to vigorously defend the litigation. In light of the fact that the Consolidated Derivative Suit is in an early stage and the claims do not specify an amount of damages, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the Consolidated Derivative Suit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss the Company may incur.

Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice Investigations

The Company has received subpoenas from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission requesting documents and information concerning, among other matters, leronlimab, the Company’s public statements regarding the use of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19 and related communications with the FDA, investors, and others, and trading in the securities of CytoDyn. The SEC informed the Company that this inquiry should not be construed as an indication that any violations of law have occurred or that the SEC has any negative opinion of any person, entity or security.

In addition, the Company and certain of its executives have received subpoenas in connection with an investigation being conducted by the United States Department of Justice. The subpoenas seek testimony and/or records concerning, among other matters, leronlimab, the Company’s public statements regarding the use of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19 and related communications with the FDA, investors, and others, and trading in the securities of CytoDyn.

The Company is cooperating fully with these non-public, fact-finding investigations, and as of the date of this filing, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome and cannot reasonably estimate the potential possible loss or range of loss, if any.

September 2021 Delaware Court of Chancery Lawsuit

On September 22, 2021, a putative class-action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its board members in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint generally alleges that Article VI, Section 5 of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, which concerns the removal of directors (“Removal Provision”), violates Delaware law. The plaintiffs seek a ruling that the case may proceed as a class action, a declaration that the Removal Provision is invalid and unenforceable, an order enjoining the defendants from attempting to enforce the Removal Provision, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company and the individual defendants deny any allegations of wrongdoing in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the matter. In light of the fact that this case is in an early stage, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss that the Company may incur.

Placement Agent Tail Fees Dispute Settlement

During the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company and Paulson Investment Company, LLC (“Paulson”) settled a dispute in which Paulson alleged it was owed tail fees related to various placement agent agreements entered into in prior years. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to a cash payment of $0.2 million and recognized stock-based expense of approximately $1.7 million resulting from the issuance of warrants covering 1.6 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share with a seven-year expiration. See Note 6 above.

Amarex Dispute

On October 4, 2021, the Company filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief and motion for a preliminary injunction against NSF International, Inc. and its subsidiary Amarex Clinical Research LLC (“Amarex”), the Company’s former contract research organization (“CRO”). Over the past eight years, Amarex provided clinical trial

management services to the Company and managed numerous clinical studies of the Company’s drug product candidate, leronlimab. The Company’s complaint alleges that Amarex failed to perform its obligations under the master services agreement and work orders that governed the relationship between the parties. As a result, the Company suffered substantial damages. The Company’s lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland seeks a declaration that Amarex breached its contracts with CytoDyn, as well as an injunction requiring Amarex to provide CytoDyn access to databases of clinical trial data that Amarex has been wrongfully withholding.

The Company simultaneously filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration demand alleges that Amarex failed to perform services to an acceptable professional standard and failed to perform certain services required by the parties’ agreements. Further, the demand alleges that Amarex billed the Company for services it did not perform. The Company contends that due to Amarex’s failures, it has suffered avoidable delays in obtaining regulatory approval of leronlimab and has paid for services not performed.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Aug. 31, 2021

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CytoDyn Operations Inc., and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, summary of significant accounting policies and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021, for the year ended May 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). Accordingly, certain disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and normally included in Annual Reports on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted from this report; however, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

It is the opinion of management that all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income or loss; therefore, its net income or loss is identical to its comprehensive income or loss. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain prior year and prior quarter amounts shown in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, or net cash flows as previously reported.

Going Concern

Going Concern

The consolidated accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company

incurred a net loss of approximately $30.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $542.7 million as of August 31, 2021. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its product candidate, leronlimab, obtain approval to commercialize leronlimab from regulatory agencies, continue to outsource manufacturing of leronlimab, and ultimately achieve initial revenues and attain profitability. The Company continues to engage in significant research and development activities related to leronlimab for multiple indications and expects to incur significant research and development expenses in the future primarily related to its clinical trials. These research and development activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional funding from other traditional sources. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information, such as the economic considerations related to the impact that the recent coronavirus disease could have on our significant accounting estimates and assumptions. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various market and other relevant, appropriate assumptions. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, those relating to stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, research and development expenses, determination of right of use assets under lease transactions and related lease obligations, commitments and contingencies, and the assumptions used to value warrants, warrant modifications and useful lives for property and equipment and related depreciation calculations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash

Cash

Cash is maintained at federally insured financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Balances in excess of federally insured limits as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021 approximated $6.3 million and $33.7 million, respectively.

Identified Intangible Assets

Identified Intangible Assets

The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets such as intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group is less than its carrying value, the asset is considered impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no impairment charges during the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020. The value of the Company’s patents would be significantly impaired by any adverse developments as they relate to the clinical trials pursuant to the patents acquired as discussed in Note 7.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for and recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company’s revenue is generated solely through the sale of leronlimab. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

Contracts with customers are generally in the form of a written purchase order, that outlines the promised goods and the agreed upon price. Such orders are often accompanied by a master supply or distribution agreement that establishes the terms and conditions, rights of the parties, delivery terms, and pricing. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including creditworthiness of the customer.

For the Company’s sole contract to date, the customer submits purchase orders for the purchase of a specified quantity of leronlimab vials; therefore, the delivery of the ordered quantity per the purchase order is accounted for as one performance obligation. The Company does not offer discounts or rebates.

The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon rates per vial in the purchase order or master supply agreement applied to the quantity of leronlimab vials that was requested by the customer in the purchase order. As the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation, the delivery of the product to the customer, all of the transaction price is allocated to the one performance obligation. Therefore, upon delivery of the product quantity equal to the quantity requested in the purchase order, there are no remaining performance obligations. The Company’s shipping and handling activities are considered a fulfillment cost. The Company has elected to exclude all sales and value added taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. The Company has not adjusted the transaction price for significant financing since the time period between the transfer of goods and payment is less than one year.

The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer. Management applies judgment in evaluating when a customer obtains control of the promised good which is generally when the product is delivered to the customer. The Company’s customer contract includes a standard assurance warranty to guarantee that its products comply with agreed specifications. The Company grants a conditional right of return of product in the customer’s inventory upon an adverse regulatory ruling. The Company continually evaluates the probability of such occurrence and if necessary, will defer revenue recognized based on its estimate of the right of return, which takes into account the probability that an adverse ruling will occur and its estimate of product in the customer’s inventory.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s s revenues are derived solely from the sale of leronlimab vials. The Company believes the disaggregation of revenues, as seen on the consolidated statement of operations, is an appropriate level of detail for its primary activity.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s performance obligations for its contracts with customers are satisfied at a point in time through the delivery of leronlimab vials to its customer. Accordingly, the Company did not have any contract assets or liabilities as of August 31, 2021. The Company did not have revenue during the three months ended August 31, 2020 and did not have any contract assets or liabilities as of that date. For all periods presented, the Company did not recognize revenue from amounts that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period. In addition, for all periods presented, there was no revenue recognized in a reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

Performance Obligations

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under the Company’s contract, each unit of product delivered to the customer represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future deliveries of the product are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

Research and Development

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Clinical trial costs incurred through third parties are expensed as the contracted work is performed. Contingent milestone payments that are due to third parties under research and development collaboration arrangements or other contractual agreements are expensed when the milestone conditions are probable and the amount of payment is reasonably estimable. See Notes 8 and 9.

Inventory

Inventory

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. Inventories consist of raw materials, bulk drug substance, and drug product in unlabeled vials to be used for commercialization of the Company’s biologic, leronlimab, which is in the regulatory approval process. The consumption of raw materials during production is classified as work-in-progress until saleable. Once it is determined to be in saleable condition, following regulatory approval, inventory is classified as finished goods. Inventory is evaluated for recoverability by considering the likelihood that revenue will be obtained from the future sale of the related inventory, in light of the status of the product within the regulatory approval process.

The Company evaluates its inventory levels on a quarterly basis and writes down inventory that has become obsolete or has a cost in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory quantities in excess of expected requirements. In assessing the lower of cost or net realizable value for pre-launch inventory, the Company relies on independent analyses provided by third parties knowledgeable about the range of likely commercial prices comparable to current comparable commercial product.

The Company capitalizes inventories procured or produced in preparation for product launches sufficient to support estimated initial market demand. Typically, capitalization of such inventory begins when the results of clinical trials have reached a status sufficient to support regulatory approval, uncertainties regarding ultimate regulatory approval have been significantly reduced, and the Company has determined it is probable that these capitalized costs will provide future economic benefit in excess of capitalized costs. The material factors considered by the Company in evaluating these uncertainties include the receipt and analysis of positive Phase 3 clinical trial results for the underlying product candidate, results from meetings with the relevant regulatory authorities prior to the filing of regulatory applications, and status of the Company’s regulatory applications. The Company closely monitors the status of the product within the regulatory review and approval process, including all relevant communications with regulatory authorities. If the Company is aware of any specific material risks or contingencies other than the normal regulatory review and approval process or if there are any specific issues identified relating to safety, efficacy, manufacturing, marketing or labeling, the related inventory may no longer qualify for capitalization.

Anticipated future sales, shelf lives, and expected approval date are considered when evaluating realizability of capitalized inventory. The shelf-life of a product is determined as part of the regulatory approval process; however, in assessing whether to capitalize pre-launch inventory, the Company considers the product stability data of all of the pre-approval inventory procured or produced to date to determine whether there is adequate shelf life. As inventories approach their shelf-life expiration, the Company may perform additional stability testing to determine if the inventory is still viable, which can result in an extension of its shelf-life. Further, in addition to performing additional stability testing, certain raw materials inventory may be sold in its then current condition prior to reaching expiration.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term and long-term lease liabilities, and short-term and long-term debt. As of August 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Short-term and long-term debt are reported at amortized cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets which approximate fair value. The remaining financial instruments are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts that approximate current fair values.

From time to time, the Company may have derivative financial instruments which are recorded at fair value, as required by U.S. GAAP. Derivative financial instruments consist of financial instruments that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g., interest rate, security price, variable conversion rate or other variables), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as their instruments are recorded as a derivative liability, at fair value, and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as it relates to warrant liability, with changes in fair value reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The fair value hierarchy specifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

● Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.

● Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology which are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. These Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that cannot be corroborated with observable market data.

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards established by the fair market value of the instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions including stock price volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates, as of the grant date. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, for stock-based awards with defined vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service periods, when designated milestones have been achieved or when pre-defined performance conditions are met. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and will revise its estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested forfeitures at 0% for all periods presented. Periodically, the Company will issue restricted common stock to executives or third parties as compensation for services rendered. Such stock awards are valued at fair market value on the effective date of the Company’s obligation.

The Company periodically issues stock options or warrants to consultants and advisors for various services. The Black-Scholes option pricing model, as described more fully above, is used to measure the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of issuance. The Company recognizes the compensation expense associated with the equity instruments over the requisite service or vesting period.

Debt

Debt

The Company has historically issued promissory notes at a discount and has incurred direct debt issuance costs. Debt discount and issuance costs are netted against the debt and amortized over the life of the convertible promissory note in accordance with ASC 470-35, Debt Subsequent Measurement.

Offering Costs

Offering Costs

The Company periodically incurs direct incremental costs associated with the sale of equity securities as fully described in Note 10. The costs are recorded as a component of equity upon receipt of the proceeds.

Loss per Common Share

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted for preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share would include the weighted average common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share.

The table below shows the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise, vesting or conversion of outstanding options, warrants, unvested restricted stock including those subject to performance conditions, convertible preferred stock (including undeclared dividends), and convertible notes that were not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020:

	Three months ended August 31,
(in thousands)	2021	2020
Stock options, warrants & unvested restricted stock	60,141	86,704
Convertible notes payable	12,000	7,801
Convertible preferred stock	33,858	30,325

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company computes its quarterly taxes under the effective tax rate method based on applying an anticipated annual effective rate to its year-to-date income, except for discrete items. Income taxes for discrete items are computed and recorded in the period that the specific transaction occurs.

The Company’s net tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, was zero. The Company’s effective tax rate of 0% differed from the statutory rate of 21% because the Company has a full valuation allowance as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021, as management does not consider it more than likely than not that the benefits from the net deferred taxes will be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The objective of the standard was to improve areas of U.S. GAAP by removing certain exceptions permitted by ASC 740 and clarifying existing guidance to facilitate consistent application. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on June 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not impact the Company’s statement of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or financial statement disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models that separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted on June 1, 2021 ASU No. 2020-06 effective for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU No. 2020-06 did not affect the Company’s statement of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or financials statement disclosures.
