NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 20172021

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 –1. Organization

CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002 under the name RexRay Corporation (its previous name) and, effective August 27, 2015, reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. We areThe Company is a clinical-stagelate-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 clinical development and potential commercializationareas of humanized monoclonal antibodies to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virushuman immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”) infection. Our lead product candidate, PRO 140,, cancer, immunology, and novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”).

Leronlimab belongs to a class of HIV therapies known as entry inhibitors. These therapiesinhibitors which block HIV from entering into and infecting certainspecific 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.

The Company is developing a class of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies to address unmet medical needs in the areas of HIV and graft versus host disease.

Note 2 –2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are 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”) and reflect all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, needed to fairly present thefor interim financial results for these periods. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented as prescribed by Form10-Q. Accordingly, certain information, and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2017summary of significant accounting policies and 2016 and notes theretofootnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, filed with2021 (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 Securitiesinformation disclosed in the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K. All intercompany transactions and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2017.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 three and six months ended November 30, 2017periods presented are not necessarily indicative of theexpected results that may be expected for the entirefull year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three andsix-month periods ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016, (b) the financial position at November 30, 2017 and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, AGTI and CVM, both of which are dormant entities. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year and prior quarter amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2017current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, total liabilities, totalthe Company’s financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, or net loss or loss per share.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,Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company

Table of Contents

incurred a net loss of $22,575,959approximately $68.1 million for the six months ended November 30, 20172021 and has an accumulated deficit of $145,565,674approximately $603.4 million as of November 30, 2017.2021. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statementsConsolidated 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 candidates,candidate, leronlimab, obtain U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval to commercialize leronlimab from regulatory agencies, continue to outsource manufacturing of the product candidates,leronlimab, and ultimately achieve initialsubstantial revenues and attain profitability. The Company is currently engagingcontinues to engage in significant research and development activities related to these product candidates,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 statementsConsolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptionsjudgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenuesrevenue 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, capitalization of pre-launch inventories, reserve for excess and obsolete inventories, 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 thosethese estimates.

Correction of Immaterial Misstatements in Prior Period Financial Statements

During the preparation of the quarterly financial statements as of and for the period ended November 30, 2021, the Company identified an error in how non-cash inducement interest expense was calculated in previous reporting periods dating back to fiscal year 2018. The original inducement expense model was designed to calculate non-cash inducement interest expense specific to inducements that modified the warrant term (e.g., extension of the term or modification of exercise price) without settling the instrument. However, starting in fiscal year 2018, inducements were primarily structured to result in a settlement of the warrant, not merely a modification of a warrant that would remain outstanding for some period. The error was identified when the model started to calculate a gain on substantially all inducements, which was inconsistent with the economics of the arrangements. The error resulted in an understatement of non-cash inducement interest expense and additional paid-in capital.

The Company assessed the materiality of the misstatement in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, as well as SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99, Materiality, and No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and concluded that the misstatement was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position for the prior periods and, accordingly, that amendments of previously filed reports were not required. However, the Company determined that the impact of the corrections would be too significant to record in the quarter ended November 30, 2021. As such, the revisions for the correction are reflected in the accompanying balance sheet as of May 31, 2021, the statements of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2021 and the three and six months ended November 30, 2020, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) equity for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 and November 30, 2020, and cash flows for the six months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020. Financial reporting periods that are affected but not presented herein will be revised, as applicable, in future

periods and filings. The errors had no impact on operating loss, cash, net cash used in or provided by operating, financing, and investing activities, assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies, total stockholders’ (deficit) equity, number of shares issued and outstanding, basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, and number of shares available for future issuance for any period presented.

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 atas of November 30, 20172021 and May 31, 20172021 approximated $1.2$8.6 million and $1.5$33.7 million, respectively.

Identified Intangible Assets

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 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 forDuring the three and six months ended November 30, 20172021 and 2016.2020, there were 0 impairment charges. 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 Notes 7Note 8.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for and 9.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 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 November 30, 2021. The Company did not have revenue during the six months ended November 30, 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 previously included in a contract liability balance. 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. Where contingentContingent milestone payments that are due to third parties under research and development collaboration arrangements or other contractual agreements the milestone payment obligations are expensed when the milestone conditions are probable and the amount of payment is reasonably estimable. See Notes 9 and 10.

Pre-launchInventory

ThePreviously Expensed Inventory

To date, the Company mayscale-uphas recorded revenue related to sales of vials for emergency purposes only, solely to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients in the Philippines under a Compassionate Special Permit. Cost of goods sold has been minimal because the vials sold were expensed in prior periods as research and make commercial quantities of its product candidatedevelopment expense, as they were manufactured prior to the dateCompany’s capitalization of pre-launch inventories as described below. Accordingly, all inventory amounts as of November 30, 2021 represent pre-launch inventories, and do not include any inventories previously expensed as research and development expense.

Capitalized Pre-launch Inventories

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 anticipatesis 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 such productrevenue will receive final FDA approval. Thescale-up and commercial productionbe obtained from the future sale ofpre-launch inventories involves the risk that such products may not be approved for marketing byrelated inventory, in light of the FDA on a timely basis, or ever. This risk notwithstanding, the Company mayscale-up and buildpre-launch inventories of product that have not yet received final governmental approval when the Company believes that such action is appropriate in relation to the commercial valuestatus of the product launch opportunity. within the regulatory approval process.

The determinationCompany 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 is made oncepre-launch inventory, the Company (or its third party development partners) has filed a Biologics License Application that has been acknowledged byconsiders the FDA as containing sufficient informationproduct stability data of all of the pre-approval inventory procured or produced to allowdate to determine whether there is adequate shelf life. As inventories approach their shelf-life expiration, the FDACompany may perform additional stability testing to conduct its reviewdetermine if the inventory is still viable, which can result in an efficient and timely manner and management is reasonablyextension of its shelf-life. Further, in addition to performing additional stability testing, certain that all regulatory and legal requirements willraw materials inventory may be satisfied. This determination is based on the particular facts and circumstances relatingsold in its then current condition prior to the expected FDA approval of the drug product being considered. As of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, the Company did not havepre-launch inventory that qualified for capitalization pursuant to U.S. GAAP ASC 330 “Inventory.”reaching expiration.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

AtThe 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 November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017,2021, the carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, 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 carriesmay 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 FASB ASC 815, “DerivativesDerivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”),Hedging, as theirits instruments are typically recorded as a derivative liability,liabilities, at fair value, and FASB ASC 480, “DistinguishingDistinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480),Equity, as it relates to warrant liability,liabilities, with changes in fair value reflected in income.

Fair Value Hierarchythe Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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

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

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.

(1)The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurements. These instruments are not quoted on an active market, so the Company uses a Binomial Lattice Model to estimate the value of the derivative liability. A Binomial Lattice Model was used because management believes it reflects all the assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the warrant. The Company’s derivative liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because certain unobservable inputs were used in the valuation model. The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the six months ended November 30, 2017 and the year ended May 31, 2017:

Stock-Based Compensation

U.S. GAAP requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (requisite service period) or when designated milestones have been achieved.

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. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriateIn accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the expected term of the stock-based award. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock on monthly intervals. The computation of the expected option term is based on the “simplified method,” as the Company issuances are considered “plain vanilla” options. For stock-based awards with defined vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period orperiods, when designated milestones have been achieved.achieved or when pre-defined performance conditions are met. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised,revises its estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from thosesuch estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested forfeitures at 0% for all periods presented.

Common Stock

On March 18, 2016, at a special meeting of stockholders, a proposal was approved to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 200,000,000 to 250,000,000. On August 24, 2016, at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a proposal was approved to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 350,000,000. On August 24, 2017, at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a proposal was approved to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 350,000,000 to 375,000,000. Subsequent to each stockholders’ meeting, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to give effect to each authorized share increase.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. As of November 30, 2017, Historically, the Company has authorizedissued restricted common stock units subject to vesting to executives or third parties as compensation for services rendered. Such stock awards are valued at fair market value on the issuance of 400,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock, of which 92,100 shares were outstanding. The remaining preferred shares authorized have no specified rights.

Debt Discount

During the six months ended November 30, 2017 and the year ended May 31, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $1.6 million and $92,000 of debt discount related to the issuance of short-term convertible notes issued with detachable warrants, as described in Note 4. The discount is amortized over the lifeeffective date of the convertible promissory notes. During the six months ended November 30, 2017, the Company recorded approximately $1.2 million of related amortization.

Debt Issuance Cost

During the six months ended November 30, 2017, the Company incurred direct costs associated with the issuance of short-term convertible notes, as described in Note 4, and recorded approximately $0.4 million of debt issuance costs and recognized approximately $0.3 million of related amortization.

Registered Direct Offering Costs

During the six months ended November 30, 2017 and the year ended May 31, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million and $1.8 million in direct incremental costs associated with the sale of equity securities, as described in Note 11. The offering costs were recorded as a component of equity when the proceeds were received.

Stock for ServicesCompany’s obligation.

The Company periodicallyalso issues stock options or warrants to directors, employees, consultants and advisors for various services. The Black-Scholes option pricing model, as described more fully above, is utilizedused 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 7. 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 shares of common stockshares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share would include the weighted average number ofcommon shares of common stock 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. For this reason, common stock options and warrants to purchase 87,551,801 and 64,415,987

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 and six months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, was 0. 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 November 30, 2017, shares of Series B convertible preferred stock in the aggregate of 92,100 shares can potentially convert into 921,000 shares of common stock.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on the asset2021 and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Future tax benefits for net operating loss carry forwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion ofMay 31, 2021, as management does not consider it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the benefits from the net deferred tax assetstaxes will not be realized.

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC740-10 “Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC740-10”). A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits for all periods presented. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefit in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses and penalties in operating expenses.

Note 3 – RecentRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements, other than below, issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

In July 2017,December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2017-11,2019-12, Earnings Per ShareSimplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives740). The standard improves areas of U.S. GAAP by removing certain exceptions permitted by ASC 740 and Hedging (Topic 815).clarifying existing guidance to facilitate consistent application. The amendments in Part ICompany adopted ASU 2019-12 on June 1, 2021. The adoption of this Update changeASU 2019-12 did not impact the classification analysisCompany’s statement of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certaincondition, results of operations, cash flows, or financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whetherstatement disclosures.

In August 2020, the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic470-20, Debt—FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options)Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), including related EPS which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part IIremoves 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 recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update areNo. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning ofno earlier than the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU2017-11 will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-09,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting.The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period,2020. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06 on June 1, 2021 and it was effective for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Management is currently assessing the impact thefiscal year beginning June 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU2017-09 No. 2020-06 did not affect the Company’s statement of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or financial 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.

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 2 portions of the BLA (clinical and manufacturing) with the FDA in April 2020 and May 2020.

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. In November 2021 it resubmitted the non-clinical and manufacturing sections of the BLA, and currently expects to complete the resubmission process with the resubmission of the clinical section of the BLA in the first calendar quarter of 2022. The Company anticipates that when the FDA completes their review, leronlimab will havebe 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 November 30, 2021 (in thousands):

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. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, the Company reserved for inventory write-downs of approximately $0.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, which were related to current and future estimated obsolescence of raw materials. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2020, the Company did not reserve for any write-down of inventory. These expenses are included in research and development expense.

In addition, during the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, the Company wrote-off inventory which had not been previously reserved for of approximately $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which related to expired raw materials not previously reserved for and untested vialed drug product used for clinical purposes. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2020, the Company recognized inventory write-offs of approximately $4.8 million, which related to abnormal spoilage and manufacturing errors committed by the contract manufacturer during the manufacturing process. These expenses are included in research and development expense.

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 faireffective conversion rate was greater than the market value of the warrants at issuance usingCompany’s common stock upon issuance. Certain default put provisions were not considered to be clearly and closely related to the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions, such as expected stock price volatility, expected termhost instrument, but the Company concluded that the value of the warrants, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yield at the grant date.

Note 5 – Derivative Liability

The investor warrants issued with the September 2016 registered direct equity offering, and the placement agent warrants issued in conjunction with the offering, as fully described in Note 11, contain a provision for net cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction (contractually defined as a merger, sale of substantially all assets, tender offer or share exchange). If a fundamental transaction occurs in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash or stock in a successor entity, then the warrantholder has the option to receive cash equal to the fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant. Due to this contingent cash settlement provision, the investor and placement agent warrants require liability classification as derivatives in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815 and are recorded at fair value.

The following tables summarize the fair value of the warrant derivative liability and related common shares as of inception date September 15, 2016, May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2017:

The Company recognized approximately $0.5 and $1.2 million of netnon-cash gain, due to the changes in the fair value of the liability associated with such classified warrants during the six months ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively.

ASC 820 provides requirements for disclosure of liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to the initial recognition. Fair values for the warrants were determined using a Binomial Lattice (“Lattice”) valuation model.

The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant derivative liability as of inception date September 15, 2016, May 31, 2017 and November 30, 2017, using the following assumptions:

Due to the fundamental transaction provisions, which could provide for early redemption of the warrants, the model also considered subjective assumptions related to the fundamental transaction provision. The fair value of the warrants will be significantly influenced by the fair value of the Company’s stock price, stock price volatility, changes in interest and management’s assumptions related to the fundamental transaction provision.

The SEC informed the Company that its inquiry should not be construed as an employee savings plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Section 401(k)indication that any violations of law have occurred or that the SEC has any negative opinion of any person, entity or security.

The Company is cooperating fully with these non-public, fact-finding investigations, and as of the Internal Revenue Codedate 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 “Code”“Court”). The complaint generally alleged that Article VI, Section 5 of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, which concerns the removal of directors (“Removal Provision”), coveringviolates Delaware law. The plaintiffs requested 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. On January 6, 2022, the Company and the plaintiffs submitted an agreed upon stipulation and proposed order to resolve the matter, asking the Court to enter an order invalidating certain language of the Removal Provision, striking that language from the Removal Provision and deeming it null and void and of no legal effect, and retaining jurisdiction solely for the purpose of adjudicating plaintiffs’ counsel’s anticipated application for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses.

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. On December 16, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland issued a preliminary injunction requiring Amarex to provide the Company with access to to all of its employees. materials in the possession of Amarex. The court also granted CytoDyn the right to conduct an audit of Amarex’s work for CytoDyn. The order is subject to the Company’s posting of a $6.5 million bond by January 14, 2022. In order to obtain the bond, the Company will be required to tender $6.5 million in cash as collateral to the surety issuing the bond. If necessary, the Company will seek an extension of the deadline for posting the bond.

The Company makessimultaneously filed a qualifiednon-elective contributiondemand 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 3%leronlimab and has paid for services not performed. In light of the fact that this dispute 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.

Clinical Trials UpdateOur Business

Phase 2b Extension StudyThe 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 HIV, as Monotherapy. There were 11 trial participants in the extension study who successfully completed 37 weeks of therapy and were not discontinued. There were eight trial participants who surpassed three years of suppressed viral load with PRO 140 as a single-agent therapy. Certain patients have dropped out of the study for various undisclosed reasons. This extension study remains ongoing with six patients.

Phase 2b/3 Pivotal Trial for HIV, as Combination Therapy. A pivotal25-week trial for PRO 140leronlimab 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 existing HAART drug regimens. Several patientsadvance our clinical trials with leronlimab for various forms of cancer, including among others, our Phase 2 trial for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (“mTNBC”) and Phase 2 basket trial for 22 solid tumor cancers. We also plan to complete our Phase 2 trial to evaluate NAFLD and liver fibrosis associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”) and 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 and supply and distribution partnerships and conduct exploratory discussions with third parties for other potential strategies to monetize our assets. As recently completed this triallicense and have transitionedsupply and distribution agreements demonstrate, such agreements are country or region-specific and generally are limited to a rolloverspecific clinical indication for leronlimab.

Product revenue

Revenue recognized was approximately $225.0 thousand and $266.0 thousand for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, respectively, compared to none in the same periods of 2020. Revenue was related to the fulfillment of orders under a CSP in the Philippines for the treatment of COVID-19 patients, 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.

Cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and Gross margin

COGS was approximately $52.0 thousand and $53.0 thousand for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, respectively, compared to none in the comparable periods of 2020. This resulted in a 76.9% and 80.1% gross margin for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, respectively. FDA approval has not been received for

leronlimab and the inventory sold was previously expensed as requestedresearch and development expense due to its 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, including related customs and duties. When inventories manufactured prior to the manufacturing of pre-launch inventories are fully depleted and commercial grade 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 largely by the treating physicians to enable the patients to have continued access to PRO 140. At an October 2017 meeting, the FDA accepted the 40 patients enrolled at that time in the Company’s Phase 2b/3 pivotal combination trial as evaluableoutcomes of clinical trials and further agreed that the trial’s independent data monitoring committee can conduct an interim efficacy analysis of primary endpoint. The FDA also confirmed that at least 50 patients will be required for the completion of this trial. As previously reported, the FDA also confirmed that 300 patients will be required for the safety analysis in a BLA, which can be provided by all of the Company’s HIV trials, providing that those patients have beentheir related effect on a PRO 140 therapy for 24 weeks, with the same or higher dose as the combination therapy trial.

On December 7, 2017, the Company reported that the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) for the PRO 140 pivotal combination therapy trial had completed a planned interim analysis of efficacy data of the first 40 patientsresearch and had recommended that the trial be continued as planned, with the protocol defined sample sizedevelopment expenses, general and power to achieve primary endpoint. The Company expects to complete enrollment in January 2018.Management projects that the total estimated costs for this trial may range from $10 million to $11 million.

Rollover Study for HIV, as Combination Therapy. This study is designed for patients who successfully complete the Phase 2b/3 combination therapy trial and for whom the treating physicians request a continuation of PRO 140 therapy. If this study enrolls 50 patients from the Phase 3 combination therapy trial and all patients remain in the rollover study for one year, management estimates the cost of this study to be approximately $6 million to $7 million.

Phase 2b/3 Investigative Trial for HIV, as Long-term Monotherapy. An investigative trial including 300 patients to assess the treatment strategy of using PRO 140 subcutaneously as a long-acting single-agent maintenance therapy for 48 weeks in patients with suppressed viral load with CCR5-tropicHIV-1 infection. The primary endpoint is to assess the clinical safety of PRO 140 monotherapy regimen and to evaluate the proportion of participants experiencing virologic failure. The secondary endpoint is length of time to virologic failure. Enrollment of the first several patients was announced in December 2016. The Company is currently exploring a high-dose arm, with a 50% increase in dosage, within the trial’s protocol in order to evaluate an increased response rate among certain patients.The Company expects to increase the number of sites in order to accelerate enrollment following the completion of enrollment of the pivotal combination therapy trial. The estimates for the total cost of this trial currently range from $22 million to $25 million, but such estimates will be updated upon the determination of the requisite number of sites, the rate of patient enrollmentadministrative expenses, professional fees, legal proceedings, and the overall durationmanufacturing of the trial, all of which could cause the total trial costs to vary from the foregoing range. The Company expects enrollment to be completed in 2018, subject to the foregoing variables. Patients who are completing this trial are transitioning to a rollover protocol, as requested by the treating physicians to enable the patients to have continued access to PRO 140 as a single-agent maintenance therapy.

Phase 2 Trial for Graft-versus-Host Disease. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center100-day study with 60 patients is designed to evaluate the feasibility of the use of PRO 140 prophylaxis as anadd-on therapy to standard GvHD treatment for prevention of acute GvHD in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”) or myelodysplastic syndrome (“MDS”) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (“HST”). Enrollment of the first patient was announced in May of 2017. Management estimates the cost of this trial to be approximately $3.5 million to $4 million. On October 5, 2017, the Company announced that the FDA had granted orphan drug designation to PRO 140 for the prevention of graft versus host disease.

The Company willnew commercial leronlimab. We require a significant amount of additional capital to complete the foregoing clinical trials for HIV and make its BLA submission. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Results of Operations for the three months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

For the three months ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016, the Company had no activities that produced revenues from operations.

For the three months ended November 30, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $10.9 million, as compared to a net loss of approximately $5.5 million for the corresponding period in 2016. The increase in net loss of approximately $5.4 million related primarily to an increase in operating expenses of approximately $4.6 million, as described below, higher comparative interest expense of approximately $0.5 million, offset in part by a reduction in thenon-cash benefit of a change in derivative liability of approximately $0.4 million. The loss per share for the quarter ended November 30, 2017 was $(0.07) compared to $(0.04) in the comparable 2016 period.

For the three months ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016, operating expenses totaled approximately $10.8 million and $6.2 million, respectively, consisting of research and development, general and administrative expenses and amortization and depreciation. The increase in operating expenses of approximately $4.6 million reflected increased research and development expenses of approximately $4.7 million, offset in part by a slight decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.1 million.

General and administrative expenses, which totaled approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended November 30, 2017, were comprised of salaries and benefits,non-cash stock-based compensation expense, professional fees, insurance and various other expenses. The slight reduction in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended November 30, 2017 over the comparable period a year ago was due to reduced stock-based compensation and certain professional fees, offset in part by increased corporate insurance coverages.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses of approximately $9.1 million for the three months ended November 30, 2017 increased approximately $4.7 million over the comparable 2016 quarter principally due to higher clinical trial and manufacturing-related expenses. For the quarter ended November 30, 2017, R&D expenditures continue to be primarily devoted to: (1) one pivotal Phase 2b/3 combination therapy trial, one investigative Phase 2b/3 monotherapy trial, one Phase 2 GvHD trial, (2) increased CMC (chemistry, manufacturing and controls) activities to address regulatory compliance requirements of a future BLA filing and to advance the preparations for manufacturing new PRO 140 and (3) preparation of thenon-clinical section necessary to complete the BLA filing with the FDA.

We expect R&D expenses to continue to increase in future periods, as the activity within the Company’s clinical trials expands and the biologics manufacturing processes and related regulatory compliance activities increase, all of which support the Company’s objectives to advance the preparation for an anticipated BLA filing in late 2018,if a breakthrough therapy designation is granted by the FDA.

For the quarter ended November 30, 2017, the Company recognized anon-cash benefit associated with the reduction in fair value of a derivative liability of approximately $0.8 million, as compared to anon-cash benefit of approximately $1.2 million in the similar 2016 quarter. The warrants that contain a provision which gives rise to a derivative liability originated in September 2016. For each reporting period, we determine the fair value of the derivative liability and record a correspondingnon-cash benefit or anon-cash charge, as a consequence of a decrease or increase, respectively, in the calculated derivative liability.

For the three months ended November 30, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $1.0 million in interest expense, of which is primarilynon-cash. The components of interest expense included amortization of discount on convertible notes, amortization of debt issuance costs and interest on convertible notes. The comparable quarter a year ago included only originating interest expense associated with the derivative liability, as there was no outstanding debt during the comparable period last year.

The future trends in all expenses will be driven, in large part, by the future outcomes of clinical trials and the correlative effect on research and development expenses, as well as general and administrative expenses, in addition to the manufacturing of new commercial grade PRO 140, along with the necessary regulatory processes to confirm its qualification for future sale, if approved. The Company requires a significant amount of additional capital and itsour ability to continue to fund operations will continue to depend on itsour ability to raise such capital. See, in particular, “Liquidity“Capital Requirements” and Capital Resources”“Going Concern” below and Item 1A in our 2021 Form 10-K and Part II Item 1A Risk Factors in this Form 10-Q.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses

G&A expenses increased approximately $8.7 million, or 115%, for the three months ended May 31, 2017.November 30, 2021 compared to the same period from 2020. The increase was primarily driven by increased legal and other fees, which were partially offset by decreased stock-based compensation expense. The increase in legal fees was primarily related to legal fees associated with the proxy contest and lawsuits, SEC and DOJ investigations, the Pestell employment dispute, and the Amarex dispute. Additionally, the increase in other G&A expense was primarily due to increased insurance premiums, costs associated with the annual meeting, and outsourced consulting and recruiting services.

Results of OperationsG&A expenses increased approximately $6.4 million, or 37%, for the six months ended November 30, 20172021 compared to the same period from 2020. The increase was primarily driven by increased legal fees and 2016 are as follows:other G&A expense, which were partially offset by decreased employee-related costs. The increase in legal fees was primarily related to the proxy contest, SEC and DOJ investigations, the Pestell employment dispute, and the Amarex dispute. The increase in other G&A expense was primarily due to increased insurance premiums, costs associated with the annual meeting, and outsourced consulting and recruiting services. The reduction in salaries, benefits and other compensation was attributable to a reduction in bonuses and the reclassification of previously accrued incentive compensation to stock-based compensation due to the compensation being issued in stock, offset by an increase in severance costs related to the termination of employees and salaries and benefits. The decrease in stock-based compensation includes a partial offset related to the previously described reclassification.

For the six months ended November 30, 20172021, R&D expenditures were primarily devoted to: (1) COVID-19 clinical trials, (2) NASH clinical trial, (3) HIV extension studies which continue to provide leronlimab to patients who have successfully completed a trial, (4) clinical trials for oncology and other immunology indications, (5) HIV BLA resubmission, and (6) CMC activities related to clinical and commercialization inventories, including expenses associated with the write-off of and reserving for the write-down of inventory.

For the three months ended November 30, 2016,2021, R&D expenses decreased approximately $7.4 million, or 45%, compared to the Company had nosame period from 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreased CMC related activities that produced revenues from operations.and clinical trial expenses, offset by slight increases in non-clinical expenses and license and patent fees. The reduction in CMC expense was related to decreased manufacturing activity related to the commercialization of leronlimab. The reduction in clinical expenses was primarily attributable to decreased expenses associated with the various clinical trials related to HIV extension studies, COVID-19, and oncology, and the packaging and shipping of leronlimab, which were partially offset by increases related to conducting NASH trials and costs related to resubmission of our HIV BLA.

For the six months ended November 30, 2017, the Company had a net loss of2021, R&D expenses decreased approximately $22.6$8.9 million, asor 28%, compared to a net lossthe same period from 2020. The decrease was due to lower CMC, clinical trial and non-clinical expenses. The reduction in CMC expense was due to decreased manufacturing activity tied to the commercialization of approximately $10.8 million for the similar 2016 period.leronlimab. The approximate increase of $11.8 milliondecrease in net loss for 2017 over 2016clinical expenses was primarily attributable to reduced expenses associated with the various clinical trials related to COVID-19, HIV extension studies, and oncology, and the packaging and shipping of leronlimab, which were partially offset by an increase in researchclinical trial costs related to NASH and developmentcosts related to resubmission of our HIV BLA. The reduction in non-clinical expenses was attributable to decreased activity associated with non-clinical studies.

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, and clinical activities related to NASH, oncology and immunology trials, along with the outcome of the studies for several other indications.

Amortization and depreciation expenses

Amortization and depreciation expense for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020 was approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million, and $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The decrease of approximately $9.2$0.3 million, or 50%, and $0.5 million, or 48%, for the three and six month periods, respectively, was attributable to an increaseimpairment charge related to an intangible asset recorded in interest expensethe third quarter of fiscal year 2021, which reduced the amortization of intangibles.

Loss on extinguishment of convertible notes

For the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we recognized a non-cash loss on the extinguishment of convertible notes of approximately $1.9$3.3 million coupled withand $4.2 million, and $8.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively. 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 decrease inprice less than the benefitclosing price for the date of a reduction in the fair value

Legal Settlement

For the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, we incurred approximately zero and $1.9 million, respectively, in legal settlement expense. We did not recognize any legal settlement expense during the comparable periods 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.

For the three months ended November 30, 2021, interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 18%, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in non-cash inducement interest expense related to private warrant exchanges that occurred during the three months ended November 30, 2021. Additionally, there were increases in finance charges associated with vendor trade payables and interest on convertible notes. These increases were offset in part by a loss per sharedecrease in non-cash amortization of $(0.08) in the comparable 2016 period.discount on convertible notes.

For the six months ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016, operating expenses totaled approximately $20.62021, interest expense decreased by $0.7 million, and $11.5 million, respectively, consistingor 6%, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2021. The decrease was primarily of research and development, general and administrative expensesdriven by decreases in non-cash inducement interest expense related to a private warrant exchange and amortization and depreciation. The increase in operating expenses over the comparable 2016 periodof discount on convertible notes. These decreases were attributable to increased research and development expenses of approximately $9.2 million, offset in part by increases in interest on convertible notes and finance charges associated with vendor trade payables.

Fluctuations in Operating Results

The Company’s operating results may fluctuate due to a slight decreasenumber of factors, such as the timing of product manufacturing activities and inventory related shelf lives, patient enrollment or completion rates in generalvarious trials, potential amendments to clinical trial protocols, and administrative expenseslegal proceedings and related outcomes. We periodically conduct 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 that can vary substantially from period to period, creating a non-cash charge or benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash

The Company’s cash position of approximately $0.1 million.

General and administrative expenses, which totaled approximately $3.2$8.9 million for the six months endedas of November 30, 2017, were comprised of salaries and benefits,non-cash stock-based compensation expense, professional fees, insurance and various other expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses2021 decreased by $25.1 million, when compared to the balance of approximately $0.1$33.9 million for the six months ended November 30, 2017 over the comparable 2016 periodat May 31, 2021. This decrease was due to lower stock-based compensation and professional fees, offset slightlyprimarily caused by higher other operating expenses.

Research and development expenses, which totaled approximately $17.2 million for the six months ended November 30, 2017, increased approximately $9.2 million over the same 2016 period. This increase was attributable to higher clinical trial expenses, combined with an expansion of the Company’s CMC activities in connection with the preparation of a BLA. The Company expects research and development expenses to trend higher, as the two ongoing Phase 2b/3 trials with PRO 140 for HIV therapy continue, along with the related rollover studies, combined with the Phase 2 GvHD trial, and the increasing expenses to expand activities related to manufacturing cGMP PRO 140 material for the BLA and for future use.

For the six months ended November 30, 2017 the Company recognized an unrealized gain, or anon-cash benefit from a decline in derivative liability of approximately $0.4 million, as compared to an approximatenon-cash benefit of $1.2$60.6 million in the comparable 2016 period. The warrants that contain a provision which gives rise to a derivative liability originatedcash used in September 2016. For each reporting period, we determine the fair value of the derivative liability and record a correspondingnon-cash benefit or anon-cash charge, as a consequence of a decrease or increase, respectively, in the calculated derivative liability.

Interest expense for the six months ended November 30, 2017 of approximately $2.5 million increased approximately $2.0 million over the samesix-month period a year ago, due primarily to the issuance of approximately $4.8operating activities, partially offset by $35.6 million in aggregate principal of short-term convertible promissory notes due on January 31, 2018. Accordingly, interest expense was comprised of amortization of debt discount, debt issuance costs and accrued interest payable, as well asnon-cash inducement interest of approximately $0.8 million related tocash provided by financing activities. See Going Concern below for discussion around the extension of the expiration date of certain warrants. In the comparablesix-month period in 2016, there was no outstanding debt or the incurrence of inducement interest expense.

The future trends in all expenses will be driven, in large part, by the future outcomes of clinical trials and the correlative effect on research and development expenses, as well as general and administrative expenses, in addition to the manufacturing of new commercial grade PRO 140, along with the necessary regulatory processes to confirm its qualification for future sale, if approved. The Company requires a significant amount of additional capital, and itsCompany’s ability to continue to fund operations will continue to depend onand satisfy its ability to raise such capital.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash position at November 30, 2017 decreased approximately $0.5 million to approximately $1.3 million, as compared to a balance of approximately $1.8 million as of May 31, 2017. The net decrease in cash for the six months ended November 30, 2017 was attributable to net cashCash used in operating activities of approximately $12.9 million, offset in part by cash provided by financing activities of approximately $12.4 million.

As of November 30, 2017, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $12.0 million compared to negative working capital of approximately $0.02 million at May 31, 2017, a decrease of approximately $11.98 million attributable primarily to cash used in operations.

The increasedecrease in net cash provided from financing activities during the six months ended November 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to a decrease in proceeds received from convertible notes of $50.0 million, and stock option and warrant transactions and exercises of approximately $20.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by increased proceeds of approximately $4.9$27.8 million from the sale of convertible notes, an increase of approximately $1.2 million in warrant exercise proceeds over the prior comparable period, offset by lower net proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrantswarrants.

Inventory

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. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Inventory, and Note 3, Inventories, for further discussion of the capitalization of pre-launch inventories.

The Company’s inventory position as of November 30, 2021 was approximately $88.6 million, net of an approximate $2.5 million reserve, decreased approximately $4.9 million when compared to a balance of approximately $3.7$93.5 million as of May 31, 2021, net of an approximate $0.7 million reserve. During the six months ended November 30, 2021, the decrease in inventory was primarily related to $2.5 million of raw materials returned, approximately $1.8 million reserved for current and future estimated obsolescence of raw materials, and approximately $1.5 million related to the write-off of expired raw materials not previously reserved for and untested vialed drug product used for clinical purposes, offset by inventory purchases of approximately $1.3 million. As of November 30,

Legal Proceedings

UnderThe Company is a party to various legal proceedings. As of November 30, 2021, we were not party to any material pending legal proceedings, other than those described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), dated July 25, 2012, betweenConsolidated 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 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 Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Progenics”),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 has not been made, could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of November 30, 2021, the Company acquired from Progenics its proprietaryhad not recorded any accruals related to the outcome of the matters described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings.

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 dateBLA resubmission to be completed in the first calendar quarter of this filing,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, thussuch that the future milestone payments payable to Progenics and itssub-licensors are have been deemed contingent consideration and, therefore, are not currently accruable.

On January 31, 2018, approximately $6.0 million in aggregate principal of convertible notes issued between May 31, 2017 and July 28, 2017 will become due and payable. Unless the holders elect to convert the principal amount of such notes plus accrued interest at an annual rate of 7.0%, or an aggregate of approximately $6.3 million, into common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share, or agree to amend or extend such notes,In December 2019, the Company entered into a Commercialization and License Agreement and a Supply Agreement with Vyera (together the “License Agreements”), under which 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. The License Agreements gave Vyera the right to assign its rights and obligations under the agreements to an affiliate of Vyera. In October 2020, Vyera assigned the License agreements to SevenScore Pharmaceuticals, which in turn assigned them to Regnum Corp. in December 2021. Vyera, SevenScore and Regnum are each controlled by their parent Phoenixus AG.

The License Agreements, as assigned, provide that, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Regnum will, at its cost, use commercially reasonable efforts to commercialize leronlimab for treatment of HIV in the United States. CytoDyn retains the right to license leronlimab for uses in the United States for purposes other than the treatment of HIV and for any purposes outside the United States.

The License Agreements obligate Regnum to pay the Company up to approximately $87.0 million upon the achievement of certain sales and regulatory milestones. Certain milestones are subject to reduction if not achieved within an agreed-upon timeframe. Regnum 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 Agreements, but, in any event, a period of not less than 10 years following the first commercial sale under the License Agreements, Regnum is obligated to pay the Company a royalty equal to 50% of Regnum’s gross profit margin from product sales (defined in the License Agreements as “Net Sales”). The royalty is subject to reduction during the Royalty Term after patent expiry and expiry of regulatory exclusivity. Following expiration of the Royalty Term, Regnum has non-exclusive rights to commercialize the product. Regnum has the right to terminate the License Agreements (i) upon written notice to CytoDyn on or after December 19, 2021 and prior to the Company’s receipt of approval from the FDA of the BLA for the manufacture and sale of leronlimab for HIV, (ii) if Regnum fails to achieve certain aggregate Net Sales (as defined in the License Agreements) of leronlimab during the period beginning on the date of first commercial sale and ending on the date that is two years from the date of

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 repay such amountbe resubmitted, and the Company would need to its investorscorrect 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 cash, which will require not less than an equal amountorder to resubmit the BLA. The Company began to resubmit the BLA in July 2021. In November 2021 it resubmitted the non-clinical and manufacturing sections of new capital. Moreover, such required capital, if available, may not be on termsthe BLA, and conditions consistentcurrently expects to complete the resubmission process with the Company’s recent financing activities, or on favorable terms toresubmission of the Company.

Going Concern

As reported in the accompanying financial statements, forduring the six months ended November 30, 20172021 and November 30, 2016,2020, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $22.6$68.1 million and $10.8$66.3 million, respectively.

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 its operations or liquidate its assets.

Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of public and private sale of 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 November 30, 2021, we had $8.9 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 limited tointerest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the market pricegeneral level of U.S. interest rates.

All derivative instruments are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair values. Each quarter, management determinesinputs 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 and compensatory warrants accounted for as derivative instruments using a binomial lattice valuation mode. The key inputsduring 2022 will continue to reflect increased expected volatility in determiningthe estimation of grant date fair value of such derivative liabilities includestock options that would result in a higher value and related stock-based compensation expense for these awards when compared to prior years.

Similarly, a 10% increase or decrease in stock price volatility would increase or decrease the value of the warrant derivative liability by approximately $0.4 million, resulting in anon-cash loss (for an increase) or gain (for a decrease) of the same amount. Finally, a 10% increase or decrease in the risk free interest rate would increase or decrease the value of the warrant derivative liability by approximately $0.4 million, resulting in anon-cash loss (for an increase) or gain (for a decrease) of the same amount. Management’s discretion is required to estimate certain other factors described in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements, which also contribute to the fair value estimates of such derivative liability.

During the six months ended November 30, 2017, the Company recorded anon-cash benefit, or unrealizednon-cash gain, from a reduction in the fair value of the derivative liability associated with certain warrants of approximately $0.8 million, due primarily to a decrease in the Company’sour common stock 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 increases in stock price volatility and risk free interest rate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company may face certain exposure to fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, due primarily to a license agreement with a third-party licensor under which the Company is required to pay annual license fees and/extinguishment gains or royalties denominated in British pounds sterling. For more information about this license agreement, see Note 8 (License Agreements) to the accompanying financial statements. Nevertheless, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have not previously had, nor does management believe that they will have, any material impact on earnings, cash flows or other financial results of the Company.losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

UnderWe maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the supervisionreports 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 management, including theour Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the Company, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of itsour disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of November 30, 2017. Based on2021 (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our management recognizes that evaluation,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 the Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based upon the evaluation described above, that, the Company’sas of November 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective asdue to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weakness

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the three and six months ended November 30, 2017.

2021, we identified an error that resulted in revisions to additional paid-in capital and non-cash inducement interest expense beginning in fiscal year 2018 through the three months ended August 31, 2021. The error relates to a pre-existing model used to calculate non-cash inducement interest expense designed to calculate inducement interest expense specific to modification of a warrant term (e.g., extension of the term or modification of exercise price) without settling the instrument. However, starting in fiscal year 2018 and to date, inducements have been primarily structured to be a settlement of the warrant, not a modification. We believe the failure to identify these errors on a timely basis resulted from a material weakness related to the evaluation of complex accounting issues due to staffing constraints and lack of technical expertise.

In connection with the identification of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we continue to evaluate, design and implement controls and procedures to address this weakness. In recent periods, we have entered into consulting arrangements for external resources and have hired additional personnel with accounting skills to strengthen internal control over financial reporting, specifically in the areas of technical accounting and financial reporting. To date, resources have been added in each of these specific areas, and we intend to continue these arrangements and to further supplement internal personnel. We also are enhancing risk assessment and monitoring controls to ensure that control activities are appropriately designed, implemented and operating effectively and have

engaged an external accounting firm to assist with this process. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a matter that may require some period of time to correct. We will continue to evaluate, design and implement policies and procedures to address the material weakness, including enhancing accounting personnel to adequately execute our accounting processes and address our internal control over financial reporting as a public company.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

ChangesOther than the changes to date described above, there have been no changes in Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes occurred duringour internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the quarter ended November 30, 2017,Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.For a description of pending material legal proceedings, please see Note 10, 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.

There have been no material changes in theWe are subject to various risks, including those set forth below, and those risk factors applicable to us from those identified in theour Annual Report onForm 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.

Our cash reserves are extremely low, requiring that we raise substantial additional financing to satisfy our current payment obligations and to fund our operations.

We must raise substantial additional funds in the near term to meet our payment obligations and fund our operations. This funding may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we fail to raise additional funds on a timely basis, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our clinical trials or postpone our regulatory submissions and commercialization initiatives, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and stock price. If we deplete our cash reserves, we may have no choice but to discontinue our operations and liquidate our assets.

We are required to post a $6.5 million bond in the dispute with our former contract research organization, which requires us to provide cash collateral to secure the full amount of the bond.

As discussed in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, the court issued an injunction requiring Amarex to provide the Company with access to the databases and other information Amarex acquired in the course of providing services to the Company with regard to its clinical trials. As a condition to the injunction, the court ordered the Company to post a $6.5 million bond to cover a portion of disputed invoices for services in the related arbitration. To obtain the bond, the Company must tender $6.5 million in cash as collateral to the surety issuing the bond. If the Company is unable to provide the collateral in a timely fashion, its ability to review the databases and related information that Amarex holds may be delayed, potentially for several months or longer, resulting in additional delays in completion of the BLA resubmission process.

We have received notice of a material breach of our payment obligations to Samsung, which could result in termination of our agreements for manufacturing of our drug product and related services by Samsung.

On January 6, 2022, Samsung, one of our contract manufacturing organizations, sent written notice to the Company that it had materially breached its agreements with Samsung by failing to pay approximately $13.5 million due on December 31, 2021. An additional $22.8 million is due under the agreements on January 31, 2022. These amounts are included in accounts payable at November 30, 2021. Under the agreements, the Company has 45 days to make commercially reasonable efforts to commence curing the breach. If such steps have not been taken during the cure period, Samsung may terminate the agreements upon 45 days’ notice. Management intends to and has communicated to Samsung its intent to commence curing the breach prior to the expiration of the cure period. See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 and “Commitments and Contingencies” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

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.

In September 2021, we 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 what we believe to be performance failures by our former contract research organization, coupled with the additional time for a new team to address the deficiencies. We currently expect to complete our BLA resubmission process during the first calendar quarter of 2022. This timing will further delay receipt of FDA approval, if any, of the use of our drug product in HIV patients, and the related achievement of our strategic goals with regard to the marketing and sale of our drug product in the U.S., including 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 Commercialization and License Agreement with Vyera was assigned in December 2021 to Regnum Corp., which has no operations and virtually no assets.

Our Commercialization and License Agreement with Vyera (the “License Agreement”), under which it had exclusive rights to commercialize leronlimab for use with HIV patients in the U.S., gave Vyera the right to assign its rights and obligations under the agreement to an affiliate of Vyera. In October 2020, Vyera assigned the agreement to SevenScore Pharmaceuticals, which in turn assigned the agreement to Regnum Corp. in December 2021. Vyera, SevenScore and Regnum are each affiliates controlled by their parent Phoenixus AG. Phoenixus acquired Regnum in April 2021; at September 30, 2021, Regnum had $4,000 in assets and had no operations or revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Regnum likely will require a significant infusion of capital to fund its obligations under the License Agreement following approval by the FDA, if any, of the use of leronlimab in the treatment of HIV patients. See “Licensing” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the License Agreement.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2021, which could, if not remediated, result in material misstatements in or untimely reporting of our financial results which could lead to substantial additional costs and an adverse impact on our stock price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations require us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for each fiscal year. Management determined that, as of November 30, 2021, we had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and that, accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, in connection the preparation of our financial statements for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, we identified an error that resulted in revisions to additional paid-in capital and non-cash inducement interest expense beginning in fiscal year 2018 through the three months ended August 31, 2021. We continue to evaluate, design and work through the process of implementing controls and procedures under a remediation plan designed to address the material weakness. If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weakness, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, our financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate our financial results, potentially resulting in substantial additional costs for accounting and legal fees, shareholder litigation and a decline in our stock price. See Part I, Item 4 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

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

On October 20, 2017.2021, the Delaware Court of Chancery denied a motion by a group of investors (the “Activist Group”) that had purported to nominate five nominees for election to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). As a result, the Activist Group was unable to

50

Table of Contents

nominate their slate and the Board’s six nominees for election as directors were elected at the Annual Meeting. Although the Activist Group was unsuccessful in its proxy contest, similar actions may occur in the future.While the Company welcomes the opinions of all stockholders, responding to demands, litigation, proxy contests or other initiatives by activist investors may divert the attention of our Board, management team, and employees from their regular duties and the pursuit of business opportunities to enhance stockholder value. Such actions may also cause our existing or potential customers, employees, strategic partners and stockholders to have questions or doubts about the future direction of the Company and may provide our competitors with an opportunity to exploit these concerns. Such circumstances 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 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

None.

As described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, on January 7, 2022, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an order that declared that a portion of Article VI, Section 5, of the Company’s certificate of incorporation was null and void and of no legal effect under Delaware law. The order was entered pursuant to a stipulation submitted by the Company and the plaintiffs in a putative class-action lawsuit filed on September 22, 2021, to resolve the matter. As a result of the court order, the language in brackets below was stricken:

“5. Removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of any series of Preferred Stock to elect Directors and to remove any Director whom the holders of any such stock have the right to elect, any Director (including persons elected by Directors to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors) may be removed from office [(i) only with cause and (ii)] only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of Directors.”.

The Company intends to file a certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law to cause the amendment of Article VI, Section 5, to reflect removal of the bracketed language.
