Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 31, 2021, Dr. Briggs Morrison, M.D. notified the board of directors (the “Board”) of Oncorus, Inc. (the “Company”) of his resignation as a director of the Company, including his position as Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), effective immediately. Dr. Morrison’s resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Dr. Morrison joined the Board in March 2016 and the Board thanks Dr. Morrison for his dedicated service to the Company.

On April 5, 2021, the Board reclassified the members of the Board following the resignation of Dr. Morrison and the decisions, as previously announced, by Dr. Cameron Wheeler, Ph.D. and Dr. Robert Kirkman, M.D. not to stand for re-election at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). To effect this change, Scott Canute resigned as a director in the class of directors whose term was scheduled to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023 and was immediately reappointed as a director in the class whose term will expire at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Canute will stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting, and if re-elected, his term would expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024.

In connection with Dr. Morrison’s resignation, upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, the Board also appointed Mr. Canute as a member and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee.
