NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 2021AUGUST 31, 2022

(UNAUDITED)(Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

CytoDyn Inc. (the(together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of Colorado on May 2, 2002, under the name RexRay Corporation and, effective August 27, 2015, reincorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company is a late-stageclinical-stage biotechnology company developingfocused on the clinical development of innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on its product candidate, leronlimab (PRO 140), 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 theThe Company is focused on developing treatmentsstudying leronlimab in the areas of human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”), cancer, immunology,oncology, and novel coronavirus diseasenon-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“COVID-19”NASH”).

Leronlimab belongsis being investigated as a viral entry inhibitor for HIV, believed to a classcompetitively bind to the N-terminus and second extracellular loop of HIV therapies known as entry inhibitors which block HIV from entering and infecting specific cells.the CCR5 receptor. For cancer and immunology, the CCR5 receptor also appearsis believed to be implicated in human metastasis and in immune-mediated illnesses such as triple-negative breast cancer,NASH. Leronlimab is being studied in NASH, oncology, and other metastatic solid tumor cancers, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). For COVID-19, the Company believes leronlimab may be showntherapeutic indications where CCR5 is believed 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.play an integral role.

The Company has pursued the regulatory approval of leronlimab in hopes that commercial sales will be obtained based on positive data from its Phase 2b/3 clinical trial for leronlimab as a combination therapy with highly active antiretroviral therapy (“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. 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 that the BLA did not contain certain information and data needed to complete a substantive review and therefore, the FDA would not file the BLA. The deficiencies cited by the FDA included administrative deficiencies, omissions, corrections to data presentation and related analyses, and clarifications regarding the manufacturing processes. In November 2021, the Company resubmitted the non-clinical and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (“CMC”) sections of the BLA. As of March 2022, the FDA had commenced its review of the CMC section.

As described in Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies - Legal Proceedings, the Company is in dispute with its former contract research organization (“CRO”). In the context of the litigation, the Company obtained an order requiring the CRO to release the Company’s clinical data related to the BLA and other clinical trials, which the CRO had been withholding. Further, the order granted the Company the right to perform an audit of the CRO’s services.

Additionally, in March of 2022, the FDA placed the HIV program on a partial clinical hold, which may affect our ability to resubmit the BLA. The Company is in the process of evaluating the data, results of the audit, and implications of the partial clinical hold. The Company will update the feasibility of the resubmission of the clinical section of the BLA once it completes its evaluation.

TheseSuch reclassifications did not have anymaterial effect on the Company’s previously reported financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity,deficit, or net cash flowsprovided by operating activities.

During the quarter ended August 31, 2022, the Company reclassified amounts recorded as previously reported.accumulated dividends for Series C and D preferred stockholders from accumulated deficit to additional paid-in capital. These reclassifications were made to reflect the proper presentation for accrued dividends when an entity has accumulated deficit.

Revision and Restatement of 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 error resulted in an understatement of non-cash inducement interest expense and additional paid-in capital. For details, refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Revision of Financial Statements in the 2022 Form 10-K. Also during the preparation and audit of the annual financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, the Company concluded that a material error was identified in how the Company was accounting for common stock issued to settle certain convertible note obligations dating back to fiscal year 2021. For details, refer to Note 14, Restatement in the 2022 Form 10-K. Neither of the errors had 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, 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, and are reflected in the accompanying statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and statement of cash flows.

Going Concern

The accompanying 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 shownpresented in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements,consolidated financial statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company

incurred a net loss of approximately $68.1$21.0 million for the sixthree months ended November 30, 2021August 31, 2022, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $603.4$782.9 million as of November 30, 2021.August 31, 2022. 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 the development of its product candidate, leronlimab, obtain approval to commercialize leronlimab from regulatory agencies, continue to outsource manufacturing of leronlimab, and ultimately achieve substantial revenues and attain profitability. The Company continuesplans to continue to engage in significant research and development activities related to leronlimab for multiple indications and expects to incur significant research and development expenses in the future primarily related to its regulatory compliance and approval, and 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 largelyprimarily from the sale of equity and debt securities, combined with additional funding from other traditional sources. ThereHowever, 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. GAAPaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of Consolidated Financial Statements,consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information, such as the economic considerations related tostatus of our analysis of the impact thatresults of our clinical trials and/or discussions with the recent coronavirus diseaseFDA which could have an impact on ourthe Company’s 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, reservewrite-off 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 and warrant modifications and useful lives for property and equipment and related depreciation calculations.modifications. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

CorrectionPre-launch Inventories

Pre-launch inventories are comprised of Immaterial Misstatementsraw materials required to commercially produce leronlimab and substantially completed commercially produced leronlimab in Prior Period Financial Statements

During the preparationanticipation 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

Cash

Cash is maintained at federally insured financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Balances in excess of federally insured limits as of November 30, 2021 and May 31, 2021 approximated $8.6 million and $33.7 million, respectively.

Identified Intangible Assets

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets such as intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group is less than its carrying value, the asset is considered impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 and 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 Note 8.

Revenue Recognition

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

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

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

The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon rates per vial in the purchase order or master supply agreement applied to the quantity of leronlimab vials that was requested by the customer in the purchase order. As the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation, the deliverysales 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 consideredpotential regulatory approval as 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 pricecombination therapy 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. Contingent milestone payments that are due to third parties under research and development collaboration arrangements or other contractual agreements are expensed when the milestone conditions are probable and the amount of payment is reasonably estimable. See Notes 9 and 10.

Inventory

Previously Expensed Inventory

To date, the Company has recorded revenue related to sales of vials for emergency purposes only, solely to treat critically ill COVID-19HIV 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 development expense, as they were manufactured prior to theUnited States. The Company’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 (1) raw materials purchased for commercial production, (2) work-in-progress materials which consist of bulk drug substance, which is the manufactured drug stored in bulk storage, and (3) drug product, which is the manufactured drug in unlabeled vials to be used for commercialization of the Company’s biologic, leronlimab, which is in the regulatory approval process.vials. The consumption of raw materials during production is classified as work-in-progress until saleable. Once it is determined to be in saleable condition, following regulatory approval, inventory is classified as finished goods. Inventory is evaluated for recoverability by considering the likelihood that revenue will be obtained from the future sale of the related inventory, in light of the status of the product within the regulatory approval process.

The Company evaluates its inventory levels on a quarterly basis and writes down inventory that has become obsolete or has a cost in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory quantities in excess of expected requirements. In assessing the lower of cost or net realizable value for pre-launch inventory, the Company relies on

independent analyses provided by third parties knowledgeable about the range of likely commercial prices comparable to current comparable commercial product.

The Company capitalizes inventories procured or produced in preparation for product launches sufficient to support estimated initial market demand.launches. 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 isbecomes 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, it may make a determination that the related inventory no longer qualifies for capitalization.

The Company determines whether raw materials purchased for commercial production are usable for production based on the manufacturer’s assigned expiration date. In evaluating whether raw materials included in the pre-launch inventories will be usable for production, the Company takes into account the shelf-life of raw materials at the time they are expected to be used in manufacturing. Any raw materials past expiration date at the time of the next manufacturing run are removed from inventory.

As one stage of the manufacturing process, the Company produces work-in-progress materials which consist of bulk drug substance, which is the manufactured drug stored in bulk storage. The initial shelf-life of bulk drug substance is established based on prior experience and periodically performed stability studies and is set at four years from the date of manufacturing. Bulk drug substance is subject to deep freeze storage, and stability studies are performed on a periodic basis in accordance with the established stability protocols. If drug substance meets suitability criteria beyond the initial shelf-life, its shelf-life may be extended based on prior experience and stability trend analysis, and during the extension period periodic stability testing is performed on the drug substance. Regardless of the number of stability studies performed, if drug substance continues to meet prespecified suitability parameters it may be used in manufacturing; if drug substance fails to meet suitability criteria beyond its assigned shelf-life at that time, it may no longer qualifybe used and is considered to be expired.

The Company utilizes resins, a reusable raw material, in its bulk drug manufacturing process. Shelf-life of a resin used in commercial manufacturing of biologics is determined by the number of cycles for capitalization.which it has been validated to be used in a manufacturing process before it is considered unusable. Unpacked and unused resins have a manufacturer’s expiration date by which resins are expected to start being used in the manufacturing process without loss of their properties. Prior to a new manufacturing campaign, and between manufacturing campaigns, the resins are removed from storage, and are treated and tested for suitability. Once resins are used in the manufacturing process, their shelf-life is measured by a validated predetermined number of manufacturing cycles they are usable for, conditional on appropriate storage solution under controlled environment between production campaigns, as well as by performing pre-production usability testing. Before a manufacturing campaign, each resin is tested for suitability. Regardless of the number of cycles, if a resin fails to meet prespecified suitability parameters it may not be used in manufacturing; likewise, even if the resin meets suitability criteria beyond the lifetime cycles, it may no longer be used. The cost of the resins used in a manufacturing campaign is allocated to the cost of the drug product in vials.

The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. Inventory is evaluated for recoverability by considering the likelihood that revenue will be obtained from the future sale of the related inventory considering the status of the product within the regulatory approval process. The Company evaluates its inventory levels on a quarterly basis and writes down inventory that became obsolete, has a cost in excess of its expected net realizable value, or is in 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. Quarterly, the Company also evaluates whether certain raw materials held in its inventory are expected to reach the end of their estimated shelf-lives based on passage of time, the number of manufacturing cycles they are used in and results of pre-production testing prior to the expected production date, or when resins used in the manufacturing process fail suitability tests. If any of such events occur, the Company may make a determination to record a charge if it is expected that such inventories will become obsolete prior to the expected production date.

Anticipated future sales, shelf lives, and expected approval date are considered when evaluating realizability of capitalized inventory. The shelf-life of a product is determined as part of the regulatory approval process; however, in assessing whether to capitalize pre-launch inventory,inventories, the Company considers the product stability data offor all of the pre-approval inventory procured or produced to date to determine whether there is adequate shelf life. Asshelf-life. 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.shelf-life and revaluation of the need for and the amount of the previously recorded reserves. Further, in addition to performing additional stability testing, certain raw materials inventory may be sold in its then current condition prior to reaching expiration.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term and long-term lease liabilities, and short-term and long-term debt. As of November 30, 2021, If the carrying value ofCompany determines that it is not likely that shelf-life may be extended or the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value dueinventory cannot be sold prior 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,expiration, the Company may have derivative financial instruments which are recorded at fair value, as required by U.S. GAAP. Derivative financial instruments consistrecord a charge to bring inventory to its net realizable value.

For additional information about the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2, Summary of financial instruments that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g., interest rate, security price, variable conversion rate or other variables), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging,Significant Accounting Policies, as its instruments are typically recorded as derivative liabilities, at fair value, and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, as it relates to warrant liabilities, with changes in fair value reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.2022 Form 10-K.

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

Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology which are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. These Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that cannot be corroborated with observable market data.

Table of Contents

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using the fair value hierarchy as of November 30, 2021 and May 31, 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

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

The Company also 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 used to measure the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of issuance. The Company recognizes the compensation expense associated with the equity instruments over the requisite service or vesting period.

Debt

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

Offering Costs

The Company periodically incurs direct incremental costs associated with the sale of equity securities as fully described in Note 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 common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share would include the weighted average common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share.

The table below shows the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise, vesting or conversion of outstanding options, warrants, unvested restricted stock units (including those subject to performance conditions), convertible notes, and convertible preferred stock (including undeclared dividends) that were not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020:

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, 2021 and May 31, 2021, as management does not consider it more likely than not that the benefits from the net deferred taxes will be realized.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes certain accounting models that separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06 onas of June 1, 2021 and it was effective for2022, using the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2021.modified retrospective method.

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 July 2020, the Company received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA regarding its BLA submission requesting additional information.

Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 addresses the accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants). Entities should treat a modification of the terms or conditions, or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity-classified after modification or exchange, as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. Guidance should be applied prospectively after the date of initial application. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.

The Company adopted the new guidance prospectively as of June 1, 2022 and used the framework to record a modification to the exercise price of equity classified warrants during the three months ended August 31, 2022. The incremental value of modification to equity instruments as a result of a trigger of a down round provision was recorded as a deemed dividend in accordance with this guidance, resulting in an approximate $4.2 million charge to additional paid-in capital. The deemed dividend was included in the loss per share calculation; refer to Note 7, Loss per Common Share. Refer to Note 6, Equity Awards and Warrants for further information.

The Company determines whether raw materials purchased for commercial production are usable for production based on the manufacturer’s assigned expiration date. In evaluating whether raw materials included in the pre-launch inventories will be usable for production, the Company takes into the account the shelf-life of raw materials at the time they are expected to be used in manufacturing. Any raw materials past expiration date at the time of the next manufacturing run are removed from inventory. Also, as one of the stages of the manufacturing process, the Company produces work-in-progress materials which consist of bulk drug substance, which is workingthe manufactured drug stored in bulk storage. The initial shelf-life of bulk drug substance is established based on prior experience and periodically performed stability studies and is set at four years from the date of manufacturing. Bulk drug substance is subject to deep freeze storage, and stability studies performed on a periodic basis in accordance with the established stability protocols. If drug substance meets suitability criteria beyond the initial shelf-life, its shelf-life may be extended based on prior experience and stability trend analysis, and during the extension period periodic stability testing is performed on the drug substance. Regardless of the number of stability studies performed, if drug substance continues to meet prespecified suitability parameters it may be used in manufacturing; if drug substance fails to meet suitability criteria beyond its assigned shelf-life at that time, it may no longer be used and is considered to be expired. Further, the Company utilizes resins, a reusable raw material, in its bulk drug manufacturing process. Shelf-life of a resin used in commercial

manufacturing of biologics is determined by the number of cycles for which it has been validated to be used in a manufacturing process before it is considered unusable. Unpacked and unused resins have a manufacturer’s expiration date by which resins are expected to start being used in the manufacturing process without loss of their properties. Prior to a new consultantsmanufacturing campaign, and between manufacturing campaigns, the resins are removed from storage, treated and tested for suitability. Once resins are used in the manufacturing process, their shelf-life is measured by a validated predetermined number of manufacturing cycles they are usable for, conditional on appropriate storage solution under controlled environment between production campaigns, as well as by performing pre-production usability testing. Before a manufacturing campaign, each resin is tested for suitability. Regardless of the number of cycles, if a resin fails to curemeet prespecified suitability parameters it may not be used in manufacturing; likewise, even if the resin meets suitability criteria beyond the lifetime cycles, it may no longer be used. The cost of the resins used in a manufacturing campaign is allocated to the cost of the drug product in vials.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company concluded that a significant portion of inventories no longer qualify for capitalization as pre-launch inventories due to expiration of shelf-life prior to expected commercial sales and the ability to obtain additional commercial product stability data until after shelf-life expiration. This is due to delays experienced from the originally anticipated BLA deficienciesapproval by the FDA. Although these inventories are no longer being capitalized as pre-launch inventories for US GAAP accounting purposes, the inventories written-off for accounting purposes continue to be physically maintained, can be used for clinical trials, and resubmitcan be commercially sold if the BLA in order to enableshelf-lives are extended as the FDA to perform their substantive review.result of the performance of on-going stability testing of drug product. In the event the shelf-lives of these written-off inventories are extended, and the inventories are sold commercially, the Company will not recognize any costs of goods sold on the previously expensed inventories. The Company commencedalso concluded that, due to delays of future production, certain raw materials would expire prior to production and as such no longer qualify for capitalization. Specifically, the Company evaluated its resubmissionraw materials, which consist of specialized raw materials, resins, and other, against the BLA in July 2021. In November 2021 it resubmittedanticipated production date and determined that while the non-clinicalnext production date was indeterminable as of May 31, 2022, specialized raw materials have remaining shelf-lives ranging from 2023 to 2026. Therefore, a reserve of $10.2 million for the entire remaining value of specialized and manufacturing sectionsother raw materials was recorded as 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 ofMay 31, 2022. The Company also concluded that approximately $29.1 million, composed of five batches of drug product, out of a total of nine manufactured, is likely to expire prior to the anticipated date the product may be approved for commercialization. Additionally, the Company anticipates that whenapproximately $34.2 million of the FDA completes their review, leronlimab will be approved and market acceptancedrug product comprising the remaining four manufactured batches, with shelf-lives lasting into 2026, may expire prior to receiving approval for commercialization. The Company wrote-off the entire remaining balance of leronlimab as a treatment for HIV will be forthcoming, enabling us to realizethe drug product, in the amount of pre-launch inventory on-hand prior to shelf-life expiration. Accordingly, management believes$63.3 million, as of May 31, 2022.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company will realize future economic benefitreviewed purchase commitments made by its manufacturing partner, Samsung BioLogics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”), under the master agreement between the Company and Samsung, and its vendors for specialized raw materials for which the Company made a prepayment in excessthe amount of $2.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, which were recorded as other assets in the consolidated financial statements as of May 31, 2022. The Company and its manufacturing partner have been in discussions, among other things, about cancelling the commitments to the suppliers, which have been unsuccessful to date. These additional specialized raw materials are estimated to have shelf-lives ranging from 2023 to 2026. The entire amount was reserved for as of August 31, 2022.

Whencycles they have been used for, and the remaining shelf-lifenumber 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 inventorymanufacturing cycles they 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 year ended May 31, 2021 and subsequent to the issuance of the November 2020 Note, the Company and the institutional investor entered into separately negotiated agreements whereby portions of the November 2020 Note were partitioned into new notes, and the November 2020 Note was reduced by the balance of the new notes. The new notes were exchanged concurrently with issuance for shares of the Company’s common stock. Please refer to Note 5, Convertible Instruments, in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K for additional discussion.

On June 11, 2021, June 21, 2021 and June 30, 2021, in partial satisfaction of the June 2021 debt redemption amount on the November 2020 Note, the Company and the investor entered into separately negotiated exchange

Given that the Company did not have a sufficient number of authorized shares for the two instruments at the time they were issued, the Company evaluated, and accounted for such warrants between June and August, as liability classified warrants consistent with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

In accordance with the prescribed accounting guidance, the Company measured fair value of liability classified warrants using fair value hierarchy which include:

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 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 the Company was unable to corroborate with observable market data.

As consideration for the Indemnitors’ agreement to indemnify the Surety, the Company agreed (i) to issue to 4-Good Ventures LLC, an affiliate of the Indemnitors (“4-Good”), a warrant for the purchase of 15,000,000 shares of common stock as a backstop fee (the “Initial Warrant”), (ii) to issue to 4-Good a warrant for the purchase of an additional 15,000,000 shares, to be exercisable only if the Indemnitors were required to make any payment to the Surety (the “Make-Whole Warrant” and, together with the Initial Warrant, the “4-Good Warrants”), and (iii) if the Indemnitors are required to make a payment to the Surety, (A) within 90 days of such payment, to reimburse the Indemnitors for any amount paid to the Surety and (B) to pay to the Indemnitors an indemnification fee in an amount equal to 1.5 times the amount paid by the Indemnitors to the Surety. The payment obligations of the Company to the Indemnitors will bear interest at 10% per annum and are secured by substantially all of the patents held by the Company. The Company recognized a finance charge of approximately $6.6 million related to the warrant issuance for the year ended May 31, 2022.

Pursuant to an amendment to the Backstop Agreement executed on July 18, 2022 (the “Backstop Amendment”), among other matters: (i) the obligation of the Indemnitors to indemnify the Surety was extended from August 13, 2022 to November 15, 2022; (ii) each of the 4-Good Warrants has a five-year term from the date of issuance and an exercise price of $0.20 per share (reduced from $0.30 per share); (iii) the Make-Whole Warrant was amended to be fully exercisable immediately; (iv) the Indemnitors and 4-Good agreed to waive the requirement to reserve for issuance the shares subject to the Make-Whole Warrant pending stockholder approval of an increase in the authorized shares of common stock; and (v) upon the exercise in full of the 4-Good Warrants, the Company agreed to take reasonable steps to cause the Indemnitors to be released from their indemnity obligations by an amount equal to the exercise proceeds.

Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants through Placement Agent

In April 2022, the Company initiated a private placement of common stock and warrants, completed in June 2022, to accredited investors through a placement agent. Between April and June 2022, the Company sold a total of approximately 85.4 million shares of common stock for a total of approximately $18.9 million of proceeds, net of issuance costs. Of these, approximately $7.7 million of proceeds, net of issuance costs, relating to approximately 34.6 million shares were remitted to the Company by May 31, 2022. Each unit sold included a fixed combination of one share of common stock and three-quarters of one warrant to purchase one share of common stock for a purchase price of $0.255 per unit. The Company issued approximately 64.0 million warrants to investors with each such warrant having a five-year term and an exercise price of 120% of the final unit price, or $0.306 per share, and are immediately exercisable. The Company paid the placement agent a total cash fee of approximately $2.8 million, equal to 13% of the gross proceeds of the offering, as well as a one-time fee for expenses of $50,000, and issued a total of approximately

19.4 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.255 per share and a ten-year term, representing 13% of the total number of shares, including shares subject to warrants sold in the offering, to the placement agent and its designees. The issuance of the warrants to the placement agent was subject to the approval by the Company’s stockholders of an increase in authorized shares of common stock, which was approved on August 31, 2022.

Down Round Provision Issuance and Modification to Previous Private Offerings

During the three months ended August 31, 2022, common stock and warrants previously issued between February and April 2022 to accredited investors directly by the Company in a private placement became subject to a down round provision under the original purchase agreements requiring the Company to reduce the purchase price of common stock from the original price of $0.40 to $0.255 per share, to increase the percentage of the warrant coverage from 50% to 75% based on the revised amount of total shares issued, and to reduce the exercise price of the warrants from the original price of $0.40 to $0.255, the terms in the latest round of financing conducted by the Company through the placement agent as discussed above. As a result, an approximate additional 4.6 million shares of common stock and 5.5 million warrants were issued. The incremental fair value of the warrants were measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model, resulting in an approximately $4.2 million charge to additional paid-in capital which was accounted for as a deemed dividend.

Warrant Exercises

During the three months ended August 31, 2022, the Company issued approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of an equal number of warrants. The stated exercise prices ranged from $0.45 to $0.75 per share, which resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $0.3 million. Additionally, during the three months ended August 31, 2022, the Company issued approximately 0.2 million shares of common stock in connection with the cashless exercise of approximately 0.3 million warrants with stated exercise prices ranging from $0.40 to $0.50 per share.

sharesNote 7. Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted for preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of common stock. The Company recognized $0.3 million of expense for these shares in lieu of cash bonusoutstanding during the fourth quarterperiod. Diluted loss per share includes the weighted average common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Because of fiscal year 2021.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 loss per share. The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations are as follows:

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company calculates its quarterly taxes under the effective tax rate method based on applying an anticipated annual effective rate to its year-to-date income, except for discrete items. Income taxes for discrete items are computed and recorded in the period that the specific transaction occurs. The Company’s net tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021 was zero. The Company does not consider it more likely than not that the benefits from the net deferred taxes will be realized; therefore the Company maintains a full valuation allowance as of August 31, 2022 and May 31, 2022 thus creating a difference between the effective tax rate of 0% and the statutory rate of 21%.

Note 9. License Agreements

The Company has 2 license agreements with a third-party licensor covering the licensor’s “system know-how” technology with respect to the Company’s use of proprietary cell lines to manufacture new leronlimab material. The Company accrues annual license fees of £0.6 million (approximately $0.8 million utilizing current exchange rates), which fees are payable annually in December. Future annual license fees and royalty rate will vary depending on whether the Company manufactures leronlimab, utilizes the third-party licensor as a contract manufacturer, or utilizes an independent party as a contract manufacturer. The licensor does not charge an annual license fee when it serves as the manufacturer. In addition, the Company will incur royalties of up to 0.75% to 2.0% of net sales, depending on who serves as the manufacturer, when the Company commences its first commercial sale; such royalties will continue for the duration of the license agreement. As of November 30, 2021, the Company accrued expense of approximately $0.4 million related to this arrangement and as of May 31, 2021 the Company recorded a prepaid asset of approximately $0.1 million related to this agreement.

Pestell Employment Dispute

On July 25, 2019, the Company’s Board terminated the employment of Dr. Pestell, the Company’s former Chief Medical Officer, for cause pursuant to the terms of Dr. Pestell’s employment agreement. On August 22, 2019, Dr. Pestell filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Pestell v. CytoDyn Inc., et al.), against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board, alleging breach of the employment agreement, a failure to pay wages and defamation, among other claims, and seeking damages related to severance entitlements for a non-cause termination under the employment agreement and a stock restriction agreement, among other relief. The treatment of those entitlements, including severance and, together with approximately 0.4 million unvested stock options and 8.3 million shares of unvested restricted common stock, in each case granted or issued on November 16, 2018 and which vest ratably over three years or upon a non-cause termination, are expected to be determined by the outcome of this litigation. Dr. Pestell also seeks damages in connection with his alleged inability to liquidate the equity at issue since his termination, and as a result of the alleged defamation. On November 2, 2020, the Court dismissed Dr. Pestell’s wage claims with prejudice and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board were dismissed from the proceeding. The Company filed its answer and counterclaims thereafter. A bench trial is currently set for April 2022. The Company disputes all of Dr. Pestell’s claims and intends to vigorously defend the action. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any, that the Company may incur.

Securities Class Action Lawsuit

On March 17, 2021, a stockholder filed a putative class-action lawsuit (the “March 17, 2021 lawsuit”) in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against the Company and certain current and former officers. The complaint generally alleges the defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the viability of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19. On April 9, 2021, a second stockholder filed a similar putative class action lawsuit in the same court, which the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on July 23, 2021. On August 9, 2021, the court appointed lead plaintiffs for the March 17, 2021 lawsuit. On December 21, 2021, lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which is brought on behalf of an alleged class of those who purchased the Company’s common stock between March 27, 2020 and May 17, 2021. The amended complaint generally alleges that the Company and certain current and former officers violated Sections 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making purportedly false or misleading statements concerning, among other things, the safety and efficacy of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19, the Company’s CD10 and CD12 clinical trials, and its HIV BLA. The amended complaint also alleges that the individual defendants violated Section 20A of the Exchange Act by selling shares of the Company’s common stock purportedly while in possession of material nonpublic information. The amended complaint seeks, among other relief, a ruling that the case may proceed as a class action and unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On February 25, 2022, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On June 24, 2022, lead plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. The second amended complaint is brought on behalf of an alleged class of those who purchased the Company’s common stock between March 27, 2020 and March 30, 2022, makes similar allegations, names the same defendants, and asserts the same claims as the prior complaint, adds a claim for alleged violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5(a) and (c) promulgated thereunder, and seeks the same relief as the prior complaint. The Company and the individual defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing in the complaint and intend to vigorously defend the matter. Since this case is in an early stage where the number of plaintiffs is not known, and the claims do not specify an amount of damages, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss the Company may incur.

2021 Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits

On June 4, 2021, a stockholder filed a purported derivative lawsuit against certain of the Company’s current and former officers, certain boardcurrent and former Board members, and the Company as a nominal defendant, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of WashingtonWashington. Two additional shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed against the same defendants in the same court on June 25, 2021 and August 18, 2021, respectively. The court has consolidated these three lawsuits for all purposes (“FirstConsolidated Derivative Suit”). On January 20, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint. The consolidated complaint generally alleges that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to the Company by allowing the Company to make false and misleading statements regarding, among other things, the viabilitysafety and efficacy of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19, the Company’s CD10 and CD12 clinical trials, and its HIV BLA, and by failing to maintain an adequate system of oversight and internal controls. The consolidated complaint also asserts claims against one or more individual defendants for waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, contribution for alleged violations of the federal securities laws, and for breach of fiduciary duty waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment, and seeks to recover on behalf of the Company for any liability the Company incurs as a result of the individual defendants’arising from alleged misconduct.insider trading. The complaint also seeks contribution on behalf of the Company from certain individual defendants for their alleged violations of federal securities laws. Theconsolidated complaint seeks declaratory and equitable relief, an unspecified amount of damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On June 25, 2021, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against the same defendants in the same court (“Second Derivative Suit”), which includes allegations and claims similar to those made in the First

Derivative Suit, adding claims against certain individual defendants based on allegedly false and misleading proxy statement disclosures and for breach of fiduciary duty arising from alleged insider trading, and seeking similar relief as the First Derivative Suit. On August 18, 2021, a third shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against the same defendants in the same court, which includes allegations and claims similar to those made in the First Derivative Suit and Second Derivative Suit. The court has consolidated these 3 lawsuits for all purposes (“Consolidated Derivative Suit”). The plaintiffs’ deadline to file a consolidated complaint is January 20, 2022. The Company and the individual defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing in the complaints and intend to vigorously defend the litigation. In light of the fact that the Consolidated Derivative Suit is in an early stage and the claims do not specify an amount of damages, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the Consolidated Derivative Suit and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss the Company may incur.

Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice Investigations

The Company has received subpoenas from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) requesting documents and information concerning, among other matters, leronlimab, the Company’s public statements regarding the use of leronlimab as a potential treatment for COVID-19, HIV, and triple-negative breast cancer, related communications with the FDA, investors, and others, litigation involving former employees, the Company’s retention of investor relations consultants, and trading in the

Company’s securities. Certain Company executives have received subpoenas concerning similar issues and may be interviewed by the DOJ or SEC in the future. The SEC informed the Company that its inquiry should not be construed as an indication that any violations of law have occurred or that the SEC has any negative opinion of any person, entity or security.

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

September 2021 Delaware Court of Chancery Lawsuit

On September 22, 2021, a putative class-action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its board members in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “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”), violates 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 a 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”).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 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.

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

Proxy Contest and Lawsuits

On July 1, 2021, the Company received a notice of nomination dated June 30, 2021, from a group of activist stockholders, Paul A. Rosenbaum, Jeffrey P. Beaty and Arthur L. Wilmes (the “Activists”), purporting to nominate five individuals for election to the Company’s Board of Directors at its 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. On July 30, 2021, the Company informed the Activists that their notice of nomination was invalid due to its failure to comply with the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws. On August 5, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against the Activists, seeking to enjoin the defendants from misleading stockholders and continuing to wage an illegal proxy contest in light of their faulty nomination notice and violation of various federal securities laws. On September 16, 2021, the Company and the Activists agreed to dismiss the litigation in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware without prejudice if certain additional disclosures about the Activists’ conflicts of interest, sources of funding and agenda were made, for which the Activists filed an amendment to their Schedule 13D. On September 20, 2021, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware ordered the dismissal without prejudice.

On August 26, 2021, the Activists sued the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery, seeking a declaratory judgment that the nomination notice was valid. On October 13, 2021, the Delaware Court of Chancery ruled that the Company’s Board of Directors properly rejected the nomination notice presented by the Activists and rejected all of their claims, disallowing proxies or votes in favor of their nominees to be recognized at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting. The annual meeting was held on November 24, 2021, at which the Company’s nominees for election as directors were elected.

Overview of Our Business

The Company is a late-stage biotechnology company focused on the clinical development and potential commercialization of its product candidate, leronlimab, (PRO 140), a CCR5 antagonist to treatwhich is being studied for the treatment of HIV infection, NASH, and multiple other potential therapeutic indications.solid tumors in oncology. Our current business strategy is to resubmit our Biologics License Application (“BLA”)seek the removal of the partial and full clinical holds imposed by the US FDA in March 2022, evaluate the feasibility of the resubmission of the clinical section of the BLA for leronlimab as a

combination therapy for highly treatment-experienced HIV patients, and to seek to further develop for leronlimab in NASH, NASH-HIV, and solid tumors in oncology.

As further discussed in Part I, Item 1, Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Inventories, Note 3, Inventories, net, and Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, the Company capitalized procured or produced pre-launch inventories in preparation for product launches. The Company considers anticipated future sales, shelf-lives, and expected approval date when evaluating realizability of prelaunch inventories. The shelf-life of a product is determined as soonpart of the regulatory approval process; however, in assessing whether to capitalize pre-launch inventory, the Company considers the stability data of all inventories. As inventories approach their shelf-life expiration, the Company may perform additional stability testing to determine if the inventory is still viable, which may 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. In determining whether pre-approval inventory remains salable, the Company considers a number of factors, including potential delays in obtaining regulatory approval, the introduction of competing products that may negatively impact the demand for our product, the likelihood that physicians would be willing to prescribe leronlimab to their patients, and whether the target patient population would be willing to try leronlimab as possible,a new therapy.

First Quarter Overview

HIV BLA and Clinical Developments

The remaining BLA section to be completed and submitted remains in the clinical section as wellof the date of this report. The Company is in a dispute with its former contract research organization (“CRO”); the Company obtained an order requiring the CRO to release the Company’s clinical data related to the BLA and other clinical trials, which the CRO had been withholding, thereby preventing the Company from completing necessary clinical data submissions to the FDA. The order granted the Company access to the data and the right to perform an audit of the CRO’s services. In March 2022, the FDA notified the Company that it had placed a partial clinical hold on the Company’s HIV program; the Company was not enrolling any new patients in the trials placed on hold. The partial clinical hold on the HIV program impacted patients enrolled in HIV extension trials. The affected patients have been transitioned to other available therapeutics. No clinical studies can be initiated or resumed until the partial clinical hold is resolved, which may affect our ability to resubmit the BLA. The Company’s efforts are focused on activities that will allow us to resolve the partial clinical hold and potentially resume the BLA resubmission process. The Company will update the feasibility of the resubmission of the clinical section of the BLA once it completes its evaluation of the clinical data, results of the CRO audit, and the timelines of the clinical holds.

NASH Clinical Developments

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a chronic liver disease characterized by the presence of hepatic inflammation and cell. Patients with advanced fibrosis due to NASH are at significantly higher risk of liverrelated mortality. There is currently no approved drug for NASH. Liver disease is one of the leading causes of non-AIDS-related death in HIV patients. The Company is identifying the next steps in clinical development to continue the investigation of leronlimab in the NASH indication and HIV patients with NASH.

In NASH, liver homeostasis is impaired due to an accumulation of toxic lipids which can activate both Kupffer cells (KCs) and tissue-resident macrophages resulting in the production of fibrogenic cytokines and chemoattractant chemokines such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Not only do these cytokines/chemokines promote transdifferentiation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) into myofibroblasts (the primary source for fibrillary collagens), but they also amplify the immune response by recruiting additional cells into the damaged area. Recruitment of extra-hepatic inflammatory cells to the site of hepatic injury is typically mediated by interactions between cytokines/chemokines and their receptors. It has also been shown that patients with NASH also have high levels of C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and the associated ligand, CCL5, thus demonstrating a potential role of CCR5 and its ligands in liver fibrosis.

The potential for leronlimab in the treatment of NASH was demonstrated in a pre-clinical model of fatty liver disease. Immunodeficient, NOD-SCID Gamma (NSG) mice were fed a high fat, NASH-inducing diet, transplanted with

seek approval for other HIV-related indications. We will seek approval forhuman stem cells to repopulate the deficient immune system, and treated with leronlimab. Sixteen (16) male NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ, commonly known as the NOD scid IL-2 receptor gamma knockout mice (NSG) were first humanized by intravenous inoculation with normal human umbilical cord blood cells (105). After 5 weeks on normal mouse chow, mice were successfully humanized, demonstrating >25% human CD45 cells in peripheral blood. Mice were switched to high fat (52%) high cholesterol (1.25%) diet (FPC diet: fructose, palmitate, cholesterol, trans-fat; Envigo-Teklad TD.160785). Leronlimab and control antibody (normal human IgG, Sigma) were administered i.p. at a dose of 2mg i.p. twice weekly, n=8 mice/group. The results showed that leronlimab inhibited fatty liver development, a key characteristic of early-stage NASH, such that treatment of humanized NSG mice with leronlimab caused a three fold reduction in hepatic steatosis compared to control in an animal model of high fructose, high palmitate, high cholesterol diet.

The Company has reported clinical data from patients with NASH from the CDI-NASH-01 trial which was designed as a potential therapeutic benefit for severe-to-critical COVID-19 patientsmulti-center Phase 2a study and COVID-19 long-hauler’s indications inwas subsequently converted into an exploratory study to evaluate the U.S.dose, efficacy, and Brazil. We plansafety of leronlimab at 350 mg and 700 mg, versus placebo. The study also included an expansive biomarker program designed to advance ourinform future 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 tomore fully understand leronlimab’s mechanism of action (“MOA”)within the NASH setting. CDI-NASH-01 was run in two parts, Part 1 of the study was to assess the efficacy of leronlimab 700 mg (n=22) in improving NAFLD/NASH measures in adult patients diagnosed with NASH compared to placebo (n=28). Part 2 was subsequently added to assess leronlimab 350 mg in improving NAFLD/NASH measures in adult patients diagnosed with NASH (n=22). In Part 1 of the study, eligible subjects were randomized 1:1 to one of the two study arms to receive either leronlimab 700mg (Group A), or placebo (Group B), given once per week (±1day) at the study site for up to 13 weeks during the treatment period (with up to 60 participants). In Part 2 of the study, eligible subjects enrolled to receive leronlimab 350 mg open-label given once per week (±1day) at the study site for up to 13 weeks during the treatment period (with up to 28 participants). The primary efficacy objective was percent change from baseline in hepatic fat fraction, as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging-derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) at week 14. The secondary efficacy objective was absolute change from baseline in fibro-inflammatory activity in the liver as assessed by MRI-corrected T1 imaging (MRI-cT1) at week 14. MRI-cT1 is obtained by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging of the liver and is a quantitative metric for assessing a composite of liver inflammation and fibrosis, expressed in milliseconds (msec). MRI-PDFF is being studied as an imaging surrogate endpoint for the fat density in the liver. MRI-cT1 is being studied as an imaging surrogate endpoint for hepatic fibro-inflammation. This is a critical unmet need in the NASH space, as many agents have been unable to show reductions in fibro-inflammation despite reductions in hepatic steatosis.

All analyses performed were exploratory. Treatment with leronlimab was well tolerated in both Part 1 and Part 2 compared to placebo. In Part 1 of the study, leronlimab 700 mg did not reduce mean change in PDFF and cT1 from baseline to week 14 vs. placebo. In Part 2, leronlimab 350 mg reduced mean change in PDFF and cT1 from baseline to week 14 vs. the placebo group from Part 1, despite increased degree of baseline fibro-inflammation. In the combined group of patients with moderate (≥ 875 msec) and severe (≥ 950 msec) cT1 values at baseline, leronlimab 350 mg reduced cT1 from baseline to week 14 vs. placebo. Based on post hoc CCR5 haplotype analysis of a small subgroup (n=5), we believeare considering further investigation of the 700mg dose of leronlimab may have significant advantagesfor specific haplotypes.

Cancer Clinical Developments

The Company is identifying the next steps in reducing side effects over other CCR5 antagonists. Prior studies have demonstrated thatclinical development and is exploring potential business opportunities to continue the investigation of leronlimab does not cause direct activationfor solid tumors in oncology based on data generated to date by the Company.

Summary of T-cells.TNBC Data

We continue to evaluate strategic licensing opportunitiesTo assess the impact of leronlimab treatment on mTNBC patients, we pooled the data from 3 studies: CD07_TNBC Phase 1b/2, CD07_TNBC_Compassionate Use, and supplyCD-09 Basket. The study population for pooled efficacy analysis was a total of 28 subjects (10 subjects from the Phase 1b/2 study, 16 subjects from the Compassionate Use Study, and distribution partnerships and conduct exploratory discussions with third parties for other potential strategies to monetize our assets. As recently completed license and supply and distribution agreements demonstrate, such agreements are country or region-specific and generally are limited to a specific clinical indication for leronlimab.

To explore the impact of leronlimab in the mTNBC patients’ disease progression, investigator assessed Progression Free Survival (PFS) was analyzed in the 28 subjects. There was a total of 19 subjects dosed between 525 mg and 700 mg (4 subjects increased dose from 350 mg to 525 mg and were included in the higher dose cohort). The median PFS

There were 9 subjects dosed at 350 mg, mPFS was 2.2 months (95% CI 0.7 months - 12+ months). There was a meaningful PFS advantage at the higher doses when compared with the lower, 350 mg dose cohort.

Furthermore, the preliminary results of the leronlimab studies also showed similarity in the PFS outcomes of mTNBC patients treated with leronlimab + carboplatin compared to overall leronlimab treated population. Of the 28 subjects enrolled, 13 subjects received leronlimab + carboplatin treatment. The mPFS for leronlimab + carboplatin population was 3.9 months (95% CI 2.3 months - 6.0 months).

The subgroup analysis of PFS based on the individual subjects in each study were also reviewed. The mPFS for Phase 1b/2 study was 3.9 months (95% CI 2.3 months – 6.2 months), mPFS for the Compassionate Use study was 3.3 months (95% CI 1.3 months – 7.5 months), and mPFS for the Basket Study was 2.8 months (95% CI N/A).

Combined, the overall mPFS for all 28 patients treated with leronlimab in the population of mTNBC patients regardless of dosage, conjunction therapy type, brain or bone metastases that have failed more than one line of previous therapy was 4.1 months (95% CI 2.5 months – 7.0 months). The mean PFS was 3.7 ± 2.93 standard deviation (SD).

To explore the impact of leronlimab in the mTNBC patients’ disease progression, Overall Survival (OS) was analyzed in the same 28 subjects. The median OS (mOS) for leronlimab + carboplatin population was 12+ months (95% CI 5.4 months - 12+ months).

The mOS for the 350 mg cohort was 4.6 months (95% CI 1.1 months -12+ months). The mOS for the 525-700 mg cohort was 12+ months (95% CI 5.5 months – 12+ months).

The overall median OS for leronlimab treated population of mTNBC patients regardless of brain or bone metastases that have failed more than one line of previous therapy was 6.5 months (95% CI 5.0 months – 12+ months). The mean value for OS was 5.5 ±4.31 standard deviation (SD).

Product revenue

Revenue recognized was approximately $225.0 thousand and $266.0 thousand for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, respectively,August 31, 2022 as compared to noneapproximately $41.0 thousand in the same periodscomparable period of 2020.the previous year. Revenue was related to the fulfillment of orders under a CSPCompassionate Special Permit (“CSP”) in the Philippines for the treatment of COVID-19 patients, pursuant to anpatients. Sales were made under the 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 At the time 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.sales, FDA approval hashad not yet been received for

leronlimab and the inventoryproduct sold was previously expensed as research and development expense due to its being manufactured prior to the commencement of the manufacturing of commercial grade pre-launch inventories, which are capitalized.inventories. 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 outcomes of clinical trials and their related effect on research and development expenses, generalGeneral and administrative expenses professional fees, legal proceedings, and the manufacturing of new commercial leronlimab. We require a significant amount of additional capital and our ability to continue to fund operations will continue to depend on our ability to raise such capital. See, in particular, “Capital Requirements” and “Going Concern” below and Item 1A in our 2021 Form 10-K and Part II Item 1A in this Form 10-Q.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses

For the three months ended August 31, 2022, research and development expenses decreased approximately $11.4 million, or 95%, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to lower clinical trial expenses as a result of clinical trials related to US COVID-19, oncology, and NASH having been completed that were active in the terminationsame period last year; the pausing of employeesthe Brazilian COVID-19 trials; and salariesthe closing of HIV extension studies in March 2022 due to clinical holds placed on the Company by the FDA. The future trend of such expenses is dependent on the timing of FDA clearance from the clinical holds, the future clinical development of leronlimab in the treatment of HIV, NASH, NASH-HIV and benefits.oncology, the outcome of pre-clinical studies for additional cancer indications, the outcome or cessation of the Brazilian COVID-19 trials, and the feasibility of the resubmission of the clinical section of the BLA. The decrease in stock-based compensation includesCMC-related expenses from the same period last year was the result of the Company having concluded the majority of its CMC manufacturing and HIV BLA related activities in the prior year.

For the six months ended November 30, 2021, 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-offresulting in decreased amortization expense of and reserving for the write-down of inventory.

For the three months ended November 30, 2021, R&D expenses decreased approximately $7.4 million, or 45%, compared to the same period from 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreased CMC related activities 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, 2021, R&D expenses decreased approximately $8.9 million, or 28%, compared to the 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 leronlimab. The decrease in clinical 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 clinical trial costs related to NASH and costs 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 $0.3 million, or 50%, and $0.5 million, or 48%, for the three and six month periods, respectively, was attributable to an impairment charge related to an intangible asset recorded in the 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 $3.3 million and $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 price less than the closing price for the date of the

respective transactions. The original underlying convertible notes were entered into on November 10, 2020 and April 2, 2021. The November 10, 2020 note was fully retired during the six months ended November 30, 2021.

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.

Interest expense

Interest expense includes finance charges, non-cash amortization of the discount on convertible notes, non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs, non-cash inducement interest expense, and interest on convertible notes payable.

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 decrease in non-cash amortization of discount on convertible notes.

For the six months ended November 30, 2021, interest expense decreased by $0.7 million, or 6%, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in non-cash inducement interest expense related to a private warrant exchange and amortization of discount on convertible notes. These decreases were 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 number of factors, such as the timing of product manufacturing activities and inventory related shelf lives, patient enrollment or completion rates in various trials, potential amendments to clinical trial protocols, and legal proceedings and related outcomes. We 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.

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

For the three months ended August 31, 2022, interest and other expenses decreased approximately $12.4 million, or 52%, compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in loss on induced conversion and legal settlement offset by an increase in loss on derivatives. The decrease in non-cash loss on induced conversions resulted from the Company not issuing any common stock to settle any outstanding convertible debt during the current period as compared to the same period last year (refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 14, Restatement in the 2022 Form 10-K). The decrease in legal settlement expense was the result of the Company having no legal settlements during the three months ended August 31, 2022. The increase in loss on derivatives was attributable to the change in the fair value of liability classified warrants related to the Surety Bond Backstop Agreement and placement agent warrants issued in connection with a recent offering. These warrants became equity classified upon the stockholders’ approval of an increase in authorized shares on August 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 31, 2022, we had a total of approximately $4.7 million in cash and approximately $122.3 million in short-term liabilities. We expect to continue to incur operating losses and require a significant amount of capital in the future as we continue to develop and seek approval to commercialize leronlimab. Despite the Company’s negative working capital position, vendor relations remain relatively accommodative, and we do not currently anticipate significant delays in our business initiatives schedule due to liquidity constraints. We cannot be certain, however, that future funding will be available to us when needed on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. We sell securities and incur debt when the terms of such agreements are deemed favorable to both parties under then current circumstances and as necessary to fund our current and projected cash needs.

Cash

The Company’s cash position of approximately $8.9$4.7 million as of November 30, 2021 decreasedAugust 31, 2022, increased by $25.1approximately $0.5 million, when compared to the balance of approximately $33.9$4.2 million atas of May 31, 2021.2022. This decreaseincrease was primarily caused by $60.6 million in cash used in operating activities, partially offset by $35.6the result of approximately $11.5 million in cash provided by financing activities. See Going Concern below for discussion around the Company’s ability to continue to fund operations and satisfy its payment obligations and commitments.

The decrease in net cash provided from financing activities was primarily attributableAugust 31, 2022. Refer 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 $27.8 million from the sale of common stock and warrants.

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.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $11.1 million during the three months ended August 31, 2022, representing an improvement of approximately $20.7 million compared to the three months ended August 31, 2021. The decrease in the net amount of cash used was due primarily to a decrease in our net loss, attributable to decreased G&A expense, R&D expense, and non-cash interest and other expense, and working capital fluctuations, all of which are highly variable. Refer to General and Administrative, Research and Development, and Interest and Other Expense sections for the discussion.

Cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended August 31, 2022 when compared to the same period in the prior year did not change significantly.

Cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $11.5 million, an increase of approximately $7.2 million compared to the three months ended August 31, 2021. The increase in net amount of cash provided was the result of receiving approximately $11.3 million through the private placement of common stock and warrants through a placement agent and approximately $0.2 million through the exercise of warrants (Refer to Note 6, Equity Awards and Stock-Based Compensation).

Pre-launch inventories

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, the Company concluded that a significant portion of inventories no longer qualify for capitalization as pre-launch inventories due to expiration of shelf-life prior to expected commercial sales and the ability to obtain additional commercial product stability data until after shelf-life expiration. This is due to delays experienced from the originally anticipated BLA approval date from the FDA. Although these inventories are no longer being capitalized as pre-launch inventories for US GAAP accounting purposes, the inventories written-off for accounting purposes continue to be physically maintained, can be used for clinical trials, and can be commercially sold if the shelf-lives are extended as the result of the performance of on-going continued stability testing of drug product. In the event the shelf-lives of these written-off inventories are extended, and the inventories are sold commercially, the Company will not recognize any costs of goods sold on the previously expensed inventories. The Company also concluded that, due to delays of future production, certain raw materials would expire prior to production and as such no longer qualify for capitalization. Specifically, the Company evaluated its raw materials, which consist of specialized raw materials, resins, and other, against the anticipated production date and determined that while the next production date is indeterminable as of May 31, 2022, specialized raw materials have remaining shelf-lives ranging from 2023 to 2026. Therefore, a reserve of $10.2 million for the entire remaining value of specialized and other raw materials was recorded as of May 31, 2022. The Company also concluded that approximately $29.1 million, composed of five batches of drug product, out of total of nine manufactured, is likely to expire prior to the anticipated date the product may be approved for commercialization. Additionally, the Company anticipates that approximately $34.2 million of the drug product comprising the remaining four manufactured batches, with shelf-lives lasting into 2026, may expire prior to receiving approval for commercialization. The Company wrote-off the entire remaining balance of the drug product, in the amount of $63.3 million, as of May 31, 2022.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company reviewed purchase commitments made by its manufacturing partner, Samsung BioLogics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”), under the master agreement between the Company and Samsung, and its vendors for specialized raw materials for which the Company made a prepayment in the amount of $2.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, which were recorded as other assets in the consolidated financial statements as of May 31, 2022. The Company and its manufacturing partner have been in discussions, among other things, about cancelling the commitments to the suppliers, which have been unsuccessful to date. These additional specialized raw materials are estimated to have shelf-lives ranging from 2023 to 2026. The entire amount was approximately $22.5 million, netreserved for as of an approximate $2.5 million reserve,August 31, 2022.

During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, the Company completed its validation of the resins’ properties based on the number of cycles they have been used for, and the total work-in-progress was approximately $66.0 million. Work-in-progress consistsremaining number of bulk drug substance, whichmanufacturing cycles they may be used for; the

Commitments with Contract Research Organization (“CRO”)

The Company has entered into project work orders, as amended, for each of our clinical trials with our CRO and related laboratory vendors. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company incurs execution fees for direct services costs, which are recorded as a current asset. In the event the Company were to terminate any trial, it may incur certain financial penalties that would become payable to the CRO. Conditioned upon the form of termination of any one trial, the financial penalties may range up to approximately $0.2 million. In the remote circumstance that the Company would terminate all clinical trials, the collective financial penalties may range from a low of approximately $20 thousand to an approximate high of approximately $0.6 million.

Legal Proceedings

The 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 Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Proceedings of this Form 10-Q. We are unable to predict 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. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a recognized accrual, if any, could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of August 31, 2022, the Company did not record any legal accruals related to the outcomes of the matters discussed in this Form 10-Q.

Regulatory Matters

FDA Refusal to File Letter re 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 and data needed to complete a substantive review and therefore, the FDA would not file the BLA. The deficiencies cited by FDA included administrative deficiencies, omissions, corrections to data presentation and related analyses, and clarifications regarding the manufacturing processes. In November 2021, the Company resubmitted the non-clinical and CMC sections of the BLA and is currently reevaluating the clinical section. As of March 2022, the FDA had commenced its review of the CMC section. Additionally, in March 2022 the FDA placed the HIV program on a partial clinical hold, which may affect our ability to resubmit the BLA. The Company is in dispute with its former contract research organization (“CRO”), as described in Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Proceedings in this Form 10-Q. The Company previously obtained a court order requiring the CRO to release the Company’s clinical data related to the BLA and other clinical trials, which the CRO had been withholding. Further, the order granted the Company the right to perform an audit of the CRO’s services. The Company is in the process of evaluating the data, results of the audit, and implications of the partial clinical hold. The Company will update the feasibility of the resubmission of the clinical section of the BLA once it completes its evaluation.

FDA Warning Letter re COVID-19 Misbranding of Investigational Drug

In January 2022, the Company received a Warning Letter from the United States FDA alleging that its former CEO had made references in a video interview to COVID-19 and leronlimab in a promotional context to the effect that leronlimab, an investigational new drug, is safe and effective for the purpose for which it is being investigated or otherwise promoted the drug. The FDA warned the Company that leronlimab has not been approved or authorized by the FDA, its safety and effectiveness has not yet been established, and that the related clinical trial data was mischaracterized in the video. The FDA further alleged the video misbranded leronlimab under section 502(f)(1) of the FD&C Act and in violation of section 301(a) of the FD&C Act, as the claims in the video made representations in a promotional context regarding the safety and efficacy of an investigational new drug that has not been approved or authorized by the FDA. This matter was resolved with the FDA on September 26, 2022.

FDA HIV Partial Clinical Hold and COVID-19 Full Clinical Hold Letters

In March 2022, the United States FDA placed a partial clinical hold on the Company’s HIV program and a full clinical hold on its COVID-19 program in the United States. The Company was not enrolling any new patients in the trials placed on hold in the United States. Under the full clinical hold on the COVID-19 program, no new clinical studies may be initiated until the clinical hold is resolved. As discussed above, the Company has made a business decision not to

36

Table of Contents

currently pursue the use of leronlimab in COVID-19 patients and has no plans for further trials under the COVID-19 indication. CytoDyn is working closely with the FDA to resolve the partial clinical hold as soon as possible. As of the date of this filing, the Company has submitted the updated Investigator Brochure to the FDA in connection with the lifting of the clinical hold. The Company is in the process of completing additionally requested materials and will submit them as soon as possible.

Under the full clinical hold on the COVID-19 program, no new clinical studies may be initiated until the clinical hold is resolved. The Company is not currently conducting any COVID-19 trials in the United States, and the Company has made the business decision to discontinue its investigation of leronlimab for COVID-19.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had losses for all periods presented. The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $21.0 million in the three months ended August 31, 2022 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $782.9 million as of August 31, 2022. These factors, among several others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company has operated at a loss since inception. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain a significant amount of additional operating capital, to continue to fund operations and pay its liabilities and commitments, its research into multiple indications for and development of its product candidate, to obtain FDA approval of its product candidate for use in treating one or more indications, to outsource manufacturing of its product, and ultimately to attain profitability. We intend to seek additional funding through equity or debt offerings, licensing agreements, supply and distribution agreements, and strategic alliances to implement our business plan. There are no assurances, however, that we will be successful in these endeavors. If we are not able to raise capital on a timely basis on favorable terms, if at all, we may need to significantly change or scale back operations, including our efforts related to the BLA and other development and commercialization initiatives or to adequately fund legal proceedings, all of which individually or in combination could materially impede our ability to achieve profitability. The Company’s failure to raise additional capital could also affect our relationships with key vendors, including Samsung, disrupting our ability to timely execute our business plan. In extreme cases, the Company could be forced to file for bankruptcy protection, discontinue operations or liquidate assets.

Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the public and private sale of equity securities as well as with proceeds from issuance of convertible notes 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. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities to raise additional capital is likely to result in dilution to stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of common shares. If the Company raises funds through the issuance of additional preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt or equity financing, the related transaction documents could contain covenants restricting its operations.

During fiscal 2021, the Company entered into long-term convertible notes that are secured by all of our assets (excluding our intellectual property), and include certain restrictive provisions, including limitations on incurring additional indebtedness and future dilutive issuances of securities, any of which could impair our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms. During fiscal 2022, in exchange for warrants, the Company entered into a backstop arrangement, as amended, with an accredited investor whereby the Company pledged its patents and the investor agreed to indemnify the issuer of the surety bond in the Amarex dispute with respect to the Company’s obligations under the surety bond. Future third-party funding arrangements may also require the Company to relinquish valuable rights. Additional capital, if available, may not be available on reasonable or non-dilutive terms.

.Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Pre-launch inventories

We capitalize 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 we have determined that it is probable that these capitalized costs will provide some 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 the compilation of the regulatory application. We closely monitor the status of the product within the regulatory review and approval process, including all relevant communication with regulatory authorities. If we are 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.

We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method. Inventories currently 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. Inventory purchased in preparation for product launches is evaluated for recoverability by considering the likelihood that revenue will be obtained from the future sale of the related inventory, in light of the status of the product within the regulatory approval process. The Company recognizesevaluates 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 to pre-launch inventory, the Company relies on independent analysis provided by third parties knowledgeable of the range of likely commercial prices comparable to current comparable commercial product.

For inventories capitalized prior to FDA marketing approval in preparation of product launch, anticipated future sales, shelf-lives, and expected approval date are considered when evaluating realizability of pre-launch inventories. The shelf-life of a product is determined as part of the regulatory approval process; however, in assessing whether to capitalize pre-launch inventory the Company considers the stability data of all inventories. 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. We also consider potential delays associated with regulatory approval in determining whether preapproval inventory remains salable. In determining whether pre-approval inventory remains salable, the Company considers a number of factors ranging from potential delays associated with regulatory approval, whether the introduction of a competing product could negatively impact the demand for our product and affect the realizability of our inventories, whether physicians would be willing to prescribe leronlimab to their patients, or if the target patient population would be willing to try leronlimab as a new therapy.

Although the Company may conclude that certain inventories no longer qualify for capitalization as pre-launch inventories due to expiration of shelf-life prior to expected commercial sales and the ability to obtain additional commercial product stability data until after shelf-life expiration, and are therefore written-off for accounting purposes, we may continue to physically maintain them and may use them for clinical trials, or may sell them if the shelf-lives can be extended as a result of the performance of on-going continued stability testing of drug product. In the event the shelf-lives of these written-off inventories are extended, and the inventories are sold commercially, the Company will not recognize any costs of goods sold on the previously expensed inventories.

Stock-based compensation

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options on the date of grant utilizing certain assumptions that require judgments and estimates. These assumptions include estimates for stock price volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates in determining the fair value of the stock options. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the equity award. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock at monthly intervals. The computation of the expected option term is based on the “simplified method,” as the options issued by the Company are considered “plain vanilla” options. In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation -Stock Compensation, the Company has elected to recognize the effect of forfeitures as they are incurred, and as such does not estimate future unvested forfeitures for all periods presented. Quarterly expense is reduced during the period when grants are forfeited, such that the full expense is recorded at the time of grant and only reduced when the grant is forfeited.

We at times issue restricted common stock and/or restricted stock units to executives or third parties as compensation for services rendered. Such awards are valued at fair market value on the effective date of the Company’s obligation. From time to time, we also issue stock options and warrants to consultants as compensation for services. Costs for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more readily measurable.

Contingent liabilities

We have significant license and contingent milestone and royalty liabilities. We estimate the likelihood of paying these contingent liabilities periodically based on the progress of our clinical trials, BLA approval status, and status of commercialization. We are also party to various legal proceedings. We recognize 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 it is disclosed and if the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the possible loss is also disclosed. It is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, including the defense and other litigation-related costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Company, as the outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and the outcomes could differ significantly from recognized accruals. Therefore, it is possible that the ultimate outcome of any proceeding, if in excess of a recognized accrual, or if an accrual has not been made,any, could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of November 30, 2021,We periodically reassess these matters when additional information becomes available and adjust our estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances indicate the Company had not recorded any accruals related to the outcome of the matters described in Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings.

Distribution

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

Indian pharmaceutical company, granting the exclusive right to distribute and sell up to 200,000 vials of leronlimab in calendar year 2021 in India to treat COVID-19 patients under a CSP or EUA from the India Central Drugs Standard Control Organization.

Licensing

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

In December 2019, the Company entered into a Commercialization and License Agreement and a Supply Agreement with Vyera (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 andneed for any purposes outside the United States.

The License Agreements obligate Regnumchanges. Refer 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

the first commercial sale, and (iii) with 180 days’ prior written notice, at Regnum’s convenience following the second anniversary of the first commercial sale of leronlimab.

Regulatory Matters

FDA Refusal to File Letter on HIV BLA Submission

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

Going Concern

As reported in the accompanying financial statements, during the six months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $68.1 million and $66.3 million, respectively. The Company has had limited to no activities that produced revenue in the periods presented and has sustained operating losses since inception.

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

Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the 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 the date of this filing, the Company has approximately 176.4 million shares of common stock authorized and unreserved and available for issuance under its certificate of incorporation, as amended.

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

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses for all periods presented and has a substantial accumulated deficit. As of November 30, 2021, these factors, among several others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting estimates are those estimates that require the most significant judgments and estimates in presenting the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates its estimates, judgments, and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of our critical accounting policies is presented in Part II, Item 7, of our 2021 Form 10-K and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies require management to make judgmentsNote 9, Commitments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments. Different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risks inThere have been no material changes from the ordinary course of business. These risks primarily include interest rate sensitivities. 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 interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Due to the short-term maturities of our cash and the low risk profile of its investment, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash.

Common Stock Price Volatility

The Compensation Committeeinformation previously reported under Part II, Item 7A of the Board of Directors has historically granted stock incentive awards to management and employees in the form of stock options. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for stock options over the requisite service period using the fair value of these grants as estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing

model and the market value of our publicly traded common stock on the date of grant. This expense is reflected in the “General and administrative” expense line item in our consolidated statements of operations. In addition to the market value of our common stock, one of the inputs into this model that significantly impacts the fair value of the options is the expected volatility of our common stock over the estimated life of the option. We estimate expected volatility by using the most recent historical experience.

Since November 2019, our common stock has experienced periods of elevated volatility in trading. Grants of stock options and compensatory warrants during 2022 will continue to reflect increased expected volatility in the estimation of grant date fair value of stock options that would result in a higher value and related stock-based compensation expense for these awards when compared to prior years.

Additionally, we periodically negotiate the settlement of debt payment obligations in exchange for equity securities of the Company, which can create a non-cash loss or gain upon extinguishment of debt as the price of our 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 extinguishment gains or losses.Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2021 (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based upon the evaluation described above, that, as of November 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due 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, 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 monthsquarter 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

Other than the changes to date described above,2022, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of August 31, 2022 due to the unremediated material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("the Exchange Act"), is accurately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,

including our President and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As previously disclosed in Item 9A of the 2022 Form 10-K, during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, the Company 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. Additionally, the Company also identified a material error in how the Company accounted for common stock issued to settle certain convertible note obligations dating back to fiscal year 2021. The error resulted in an understatement of the previously reported non-cash loss on induced conversion and additional paid-in capital. Therefore, management reached the following conclusions as of May 31, 2022.

Management concluded that the failure to identify errors related to evaluation of complex accounting issues for which alternative accounting treatments exist constitutes a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness is deemed to be caused by lack of review of equity transactions to allow for consideration of alternative accounting treatments, and an insufficient number of finance reporting and accounting personnel with the knowledge, experience, or training appropriate in light of the Company’s financial reporting requirements.
The Company failed to perform an adequate risk assessment, did not adequately design, and did not fully document information technology (IT) general controls in the areas of user access, program change management, operations over certain IT systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes, including controls to respond to the Complementary User Entity Controls assumed in the design and implementation of third-party service organizations controls. We concluded that in the aggregate, these failures constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statement will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP, who audited the consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Form 10-K, issued an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In connection with the identification of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we continue to evaluate, design and implement controls and procedures to address this weakness. 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. We also plan to perform a risk assessment of our internal controls related to information technology systems, and plan to design and place in operation controls tailored to address risks that we deem to be relevant to our Company. Further, we plan to document all of our control activities in this area, including controls to respond to the Complementary User Entity Controls assumed in the design and implementation of third-party service organizations. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a matter that may require some period of time to correct.

PART II – Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.Proceedings

For a description of pendingThere have been no material legal proceedings, please see Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies, ofchanges from the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements includedinformation previously reported in Part I, Item 1 of thisthe 2022 Form 10-Q.10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.Factors

We are subject to various risks, including those set forth below, and those risk factors identified in our Annual Report on2022 Form 10-K, for the year ended May 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on July 30, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021, and our subsequent filings with the SEC, that could have a negative effect on our financial condition and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained in this report or other reports filed with the SEC.10-K. You should carefully consider these risk factors in addition to the risk factor below and 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.operations, which continues to be difficult in light of the low trading price of our common stock.

We must continue to raise substantial additional funds in the near term to meet our payment obligations and fund our operations. ThisAdditional funding may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, as of September 30, 2022, despite the approval by our stockholders of an additional 350.0 million authorized shares of common stock on August 31, 2022, we had only approximately 273.9 million shares of common stock available for issuance in new financing transactions. We may also need to use some of the additional authorized shares (or funds raised through the sale of such shares) to satisfy our outstanding accounts payable and accrued liabilities. If we failare not able 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 planned operating activities, including seeking removal of clinical holds placed on us by the FDA, the potential resubmission of our BLA application, analysis of clinical trial data for purposes of responding to FDA requirements and preparing additional regulatory submissions, additional clinical trials for indications we plan to pursue, regulatory and compliance activities, and legal defense activities. Any such delay or postponeinability to pursue our regulatory submissions and commercialization initiatives, which wouldplanned activities likely will adversely affect our business, financial condition, and stock price. The continued low trading price of our common stock (with a closing price of $0.40 per share on October 6, 2022) presents a significant challenge to our ability to raise additional funds.  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, 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 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.Proceeds

None.During September and October 2022, the Company issued a total of 80,816 shares of common stock in satisfaction of a total of $40,205 in severance payments due in September 2022 to our former CEO. The numbers of shares issued were based on the closing price of the common stock on the applicable dates. The Company relied on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in connection with the issuance of the shares.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

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.
