PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors (also referred to as the “Board” herein) of Rezolute, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (which we refer to as the “Company,” “Rezolute,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for use at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”), to be held on Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time, via a virtual meeting, and at any postponement or adjournment thereof. You may virtually attend the Annual Meeting, vote, and submit a question during the Annual Meeting by visiting https://agm.issuerdirect.com/rzlt. If you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, please follow the voting and registration instructions as outlined in this Proxy Statement.

All stockholders of record at the close of business on October 7, 2024 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting. In accordance with the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each stockholder of record, we are furnishing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice of Internet Availability”) and providing Internet access to our proxy materials, including the notice, this proxy statement, our annual report to stockholders, including financial statements, and a proxy card for the Annual Meeting, which will save printing costs and benefit the environment. These materials will first be available on the Internet on or about October [•], 2024. If you are a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner as of the record date of October 7, 2024, we will mail a Notice of Internet Availability on or about October [•], 2024. This proxy statement and the Notice of Internet Availability contain instructions for accessing and reviewing our proxy materials on the Internet and for voting by proxy over the Internet. If you prefer to receive printed copies of our proxy materials, the Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions on how to request the materials by mail. You will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless you request them. If you elect to receive the materials by mail, you may also vote by proxy on the proxy card or voter instruction card that you will receive in response to your request.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

The following questions and answers are intended to briefly address potential questions that our stockholders may have regarding this Proxy Statement and the Annual Meeting. They are also intended to provide our stockholders with certain information that is required to be provided under the rules and regulations of the SEC. These questions and answers may not address all of the questions that are important to you as a stockholder. If you have additional questions about the Proxy Statement or the Annual Meeting, please reach out to Issuer Direct below.

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the matters described in this Proxy Statement and in the accompanying Notice, and any other matters that properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Why are you having two annual meetings this year?

Our board determined it to be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to hold two meetings this year in an effort to harmonize our meeting cadence to correspond with the timing of our annual report filings.

What is a proxy statement and what is a proxy?

A proxy statement is a document that we are required by law to give you when we ask you to sign a proxy designating individuals to vote on your behalf. A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Why did I receive these proxy materials?

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting, and at any postponement or adjournment thereof. This Proxy Statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the Annual Meeting. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting virtually to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting virtually to vote your shares. Instead, you may vote your shares using one of the other voting methods described in this Proxy Statement.

How may I virtually attend the meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be conducted completely as a virtual meeting via the internet. Stockholders may attend the meeting virtually, vote, and submit questions during the meeting by visiting https://agm.issuerdirect.com/rzlt. We believe that holding our meeting completely online will enable greater participation and improved communication. Stockholders will need the control number included on their proxy card to enter the meeting and vote their shares at the meeting.

Can I vote my shares at the meeting?

If you are a stockholder of record of our common stock, you may vote your shares at the meeting by going to https://agm.issuerdirect.com/rzlt and using your Control ID number and Request ID number included on your proxy card. Even if you currently plan to attend the meeting virtually, we recommend that you also submit your proxy as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting. If you are a “street name” holder, you must vote your shares in the manner prescribed by your broker, bank, trust or other nominee.

How can I submit questions for the Annual Meeting?

You may submit questions prior to the meeting or during the meeting at https://agm.issuerdirect.com/rzlt. Questions pertinent to matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting as well as appropriate questions regarding the business and operations of the Company will be answered during the Annual Meeting, subject to time constraints. In the interests of time and efficiency, we reserve the right to group questions of a similar nature together to facilitate the question and answer portion of the meeting. We may not be able to answer all questions submitted in the allotted time.

What am I being asked to vote upon at the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to:

•

Vote on the election of Nevan Charles Elam, Gil Labrucherie, Philippe Fauchet, Nerissa Kreher, Wladimir Hogenhuis, and Young-Jin Kim to the Board until the 2026 Annual Meeting (the “Board of Directors Proposal”);

•

Ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 (the “Accountant Proposal”);

•

Approve, by a non-binding advisory vote, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, or NEOs, as disclosed in the Executive Compensation section of this Proxy Statement (the “Say-On-Pay Proposal”);

•

To approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to an aggregate of 165,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Share Increase Proposal”);

To approve the amendment to the Company’s 2021 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2021 Plan”) to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder from 10,700,000 shares of common stock to an aggregate of 14,450,000 shares of common stock (the “2021 Plan Amendment Proposal”);

•

To authorize an adjournment of the meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of the Share Increase Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”); and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Act upon such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

Does the Board recommend voting in favor of the proposals?

Yes. The Board unanimously recommends that you vote your shares:

•

“FOR” each of the director nominees identified in the Board of Directors Proposal;

•

“FOR” the Accountant Proposal;

•

“FOR” the Say-On-Pay Proposal;

•

“FOR” the Share Increase Proposal;

•

“FOR” the 2021 Plan Amendment Proposal; and

“FOR” the Adjournment Proposal

Only our “stockholders of record” at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 55,927,913 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

What if you are a Beneficial Owner of shares held in “Street Name”?

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a bank, broker, dealer, or other nominee, then you are the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name” and this Proxy Statement is being forwarded to you by that bank, broker, dealer, or other nominee. Such nominee holding your account is considered the “stockholder of record” for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to virtually attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the “stockholder of record,” you may not vote your shares virtually at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your nominee. Please contact your nominee directly for additional information.

Brokers, banks or other nominees holding shares of record for their respective customers generally are not entitled to vote on the election of directors unless they receive voting instructions from their customers. As used herein, “uninstructed shares” means shares held by a nominee who has not received instructions from its customers on a particular matter. As used herein, “broker non-vote” means the votes that could have been cast on the matter by nominees with respect to uninstructed shares if the nominees had received instructions. The effect of proxies marked “withheld” as to any director nominee or “abstain” as to any other proposal, and the effect of broker non-votes on each of the proposals, is discussed in each proposal below.

How many votes do I get?

Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on each matter to be voted upon. Dissenters’ rights are not applicable to any of the matters being voted upon.

What are the voting requirements to approve the proposals?

Please see each proposal below for voting requirements applicable to each proposal.

How can I access the proxy materials over the Internet?

Your Notice of Internet Availability, proxy card or voting instruction card (as applicable) contains instructions on how to:

•

view our proxy materials online at at www.iproxydirect.com/RZLT; and https://agm.issuerdirect.com/rzlt; and

•

instruct us to send future proxy materials to you electronically by e-mail.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What happens if I do not vote?

Please see each proposal below for the effect of not voting as well as the effect of withholdings, abstentions and broker non-votes.

What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

The presence virtually via the Internet or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum.

For purposes of establishing a quorum, stockholders of record who are present at the Annual Meeting virtually via the Internet or by proxy and who abstain or withhold their vote, including brokers, dealers or other nominees holding shares of their respective customers of record who cause abstentions to be recorded at the Annual Meeting, are considered stockholders who are present and entitled to vote and count toward the quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

As of the date this Proxy Statement went to press, the Board did not know of any matters which will be brought before the Annual Meeting other than those specifically set forth in the Notice hereof. However, if any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the proxies, or their substitutes, will vote on such matters in accordance with the instructions given in such proxy.

How do I vote my shares?

Beneficial Owners Held In “Street Name”

If you are “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name”, you must vote your shares in the manner prescribed by your broker, bank, trust or other nominee.

Please contact your nominee directly for additional information.

Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote by

•

a description of any arrangements or understandings, that relate to the election of directors of the Company, between the nominating stockholder, or any person that (directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries) controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such stockholder and any other person or persons (naming such other person or persons);

What is the deadline to submit stockholder proposals for the 2026 Annual Meeting?

Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held following the closing of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 (the “2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders”) must be received at the Company’s principal office no less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of this year’s Annual Meeting. However, if the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is changed by more than 30 days from the one-year anniversary of this year’s Annual Meeting pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company will publicly announce such revised Annual Meeting date and applicable deadlines for stockholder proposals for action or nomination once finally determined. In such case, the recommendation must be received no earlier than the close of business on the date that is 120 days prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the date that is the later of (i) 90 days prior to such annual meeting or (ii) 10 days following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company.

Generally, under SEC Rule 14a-8, in order for a stockholder proposal to be included in our proxy solicitation materials for our annual meeting, it must be delivered to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting. Provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or after the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder must be delivered within a reasonable

TABLE OF CONTENTS

time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials. All submissions must comply with all of the requirements of our bylaws and Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

In addition, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies for the annual meeting in support of director nominees other than the nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act and our bylaws no later than 60 days prior to the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting. However, if the date of the annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days before or after the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the prior year, notice by the stockholder, to be timely, must be delivered by the date that is the later of (i) 60 days prior to the date of the annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the date on which the date of the annual meeting is first publicly announced or disclosed by us.

Where can I find voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results with respect to each proposal at the Annual Meeting. In accordance with SEC rules, final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days following the Annual Meeting, unless final results are not known at that time in which case preliminary voting results will be published within four business days of the Annual Meeting and final voting results will be published once they are known by the Company.

Where can I find information about the Annual Report of the Company?

We will furnish without charge to each person whose proxy is being solicited, upon request of any such person, a copy of the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (our “2024 Annual Report”), as such was filed with the SEC, including our audited financial statements. Such report was filed with the SEC on September 19, 2024 and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, as well as on our website at www.rezolutebio.com.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

We currently have six directors serving on the Board as set forth in the table below. The ages of the directors are shown as of October 7, 2024.

Name	Age	Position	Date Appointed
Nevan Charles Elam	57	Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Acting Chairman of the Board	January 31, 2013
Gil Labrucherie	53	Director	November 20, 2019
Nerissa Kreher, M.D.	52	Director	March 2, 2021
Philippe Fauchet	66	Director	September 10, 2020
Wladimir Hogenhuis, M.D.	60	Director	March 2, 2021
Young-Jin Kim	67	Director	February 10, 2019

Each of our current directors has been nominated by the Board for re-election at the Annual Meeting. If elected, each nominee has consented to serve as a director and to hold office until the next annual stockholders’ meeting, until his successor is elected and shall have qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation, removal or disqualification. Mr. Kim and Mr. Elam are not “independent” as that term is defined in Section 5605(a) of Nasdaq listing rules.

When considering whether director nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of our business and structure, the Board focuses primarily on the industry and transactional experience, and other background, in addition to any unique skills or attributes associated with a director.

Presented below is biographical information about each nominee as of the date of this Proxy Statement. The information presented includes the nominee’s principal occupation and business experience for the past

TABLE OF CONTENTS

five years, and the names of other publicly held companies of which he currently serves as a director or has served as a director during the past five years.

Nevan Charles Elam. Mr. Elam has served as our Chief Executive Officer since January 2013 and currently serves as our Principal Financial Officer. Mr. Elam is also serving as our Acting Chair of the Board since May 2022. Prior to Mr. Elam’s service with Rezolute, he has served various leadership roles throughout his career including as Chief Executive Officer of a European medical device company, co-founder and Chief Financial Officer of a software company, as well as a Senior Vice President at Nektar Therapeutics. Earlier in his career, Mr. Elam was a corporate partner in the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. He serves as Director of Peak Bio, Inc. and Savara, Inc. Mr. Elam received his Juris Doctorate from Harvard Law School and a Bachelor of Arts from Howard University. We believe that Mr. Elam’s experience advising pharmaceutical companies of their unique legal and regulatory obligations qualifies him to serve on the board.

Gil Labrucherie. Mr. Labrucherie serves as a member of our Board. He brings more than 25 years of senior leadership experience in finance, corporate development, and legal to the Board. Since August 2023, he has served as the Chief Financial Officer and Chef Business Officer (from May 2024) of Acelyrin, Inc., a public late-stage clinical stage biotechnology company focused on auto-immune conditions, and also is the sole trustee and executive in charge of the Bloom Trust, a closely held family office with commercial real estate assets and operations. From July 2022 to November 2022 he also served as Chief Financial Officer of Acelyrin, Inc. From June 2016 to June 2022, Mr. Labrucherie served as the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer (from November 2019) of Nektar Therapeutics, a publicly traded biotechnology company. Prior to that, Mr. Labrucherie served in numerous executive leadership roles in high growth biotechnology and technology companies and began his career as corporate counsel at the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. Mr. Labrucherie served as a director of Valinor Pharma LLC, a company focused on innovative commercialization of medicines until its acquisition by Grunenthal in July 2024. Mr. Labrucherie received his J.D. from University of California Berkeley Law School, where he was a member of the California Law Review and Order of the Coif, and received his B.A., summa cum laude from the University of California, Davis. Mr. Labrucherie is a member of the State Bar of California and is a CFA(R) charterholder, CFA Institute. We believe Mr. Labrucherie’s experience as the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of public biotechnology companies and his management background as an executive in different organizations qualify him to serve on the Board.

She is the CEO/Founder of Mountainview Clinical Development Consulting, LLC providing rare disease drug development strategic consulting to the biopharmaceutical industry.

We believe Dr. Kreher’s experience in the pharmaceutical industry and her service as an executive and Chief Medical Officer of a range of private and publicly held companies qualify her to serve on the Board.

Philippe Fauchet. Mr. Fauchet serves as a member of our Board. Mr. Fauchet has spent more than 35 years in the pharmaceutical industry, most recently as the Chairman of GlaxoSmithKline K.K. from April 2017 to February 2019.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

X University. He is an Honorary Officer of the Order of the British Empire (O.B.E.). We believe Mr. Fauchet’s experience in the pharmaceutical industry as a director, consultant, and advisor qualifies him to serve on the Board.

He previously served as a member of the Board of Directors of Vision 2020, a global initiative for the elimination of avoidable blindness, a joint program of the World Health Organization and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. Dr. Hogenhuis received his M.D. Cum Laude from the University of Leiden in the Netherlands and received an M.B.A. from the Wharton School of Business at The University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. We believe Dr. Hogenhuis’s experience in the pharmaceutical industry and his service on the board of directors of a range of private companies qualify him to serve on the Board.

Young-Jin Kim. Mr. Kim serves as a member of our Board and served as Chair of the Board until May 2022. Mr. Kim is Chairman & CEO of Handok Inc. (“Handok”), one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the Republic of Korea. Mr. Kim also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Genexine Inc. Mr. Kim joined Handok in 1984 and spent two years between 1984 and 1986 working at Hoechst AG in Frankfurt, Germany. Between 1991 and 2005, he served as CEO of Roussel Korea, Hoechst Marion Roussel Korea and Aventis Pharma Korea and also appointed as the Country Manager of Hoechst AG and Aventis in Korea between 1996 and 2005. In 1996, he was appointed as CEO of Handok. Mr. Kim has been serving as President of Handok Jeseok Foundation since 2014. He has also been serving as President of KDG (Korean-German Society) since 2010. Mr. Kim received an MBA at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University in 1984 and received the award of Distinguished Alumni Fellows from Indiana University. Mr. Kim completed Advanced Management Program at the Harvard Business School in 1996. We believe Mr. Kim’s experience working with pharmaceutical companies qualifies him to serve on the Board.

Information about the Board of Directors

Board Composition

Our Board currently consists of six members. Directors elected at this meeting and each subsequent annual meeting will be elected for one-year terms or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. We have two board observers, So-Hyun Kwon, a representative from Handok Inc. and Scott Morenstein, a representative the Hedge Fund Solutions Group of Blackstone.

Our Board does not currently have a policy on whether the same person should serve as both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board or, if the roles are separate, whether the Chairman should be selected from the non-employee directors or should be an employee. The Board believes that it should have the flexibility to make these determinations at any given point in time in the way that it believes best to provide appropriate leadership for us at that time. Currently, our Chief Executive Officer, Nevan Elam, serves as the Acting Chairman of the Board.

Selection of Nominees for our Board of Directors Experience, Qualifications, and Diversity

To be considered as a director nominee, an individual must have, among other attributes: high personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; commitment to our Company and stockholders; an inquisitive and objective perspective and mature judgment; availability to perform all Board and committee responsibilities; and, in the case of non-executive director, independence. In addition to these minimum requirements, our Board will evaluate whether the nominee’s skills are complementary to the existing directors’

TABLE OF CONTENTS

skills and our Board’s need for operational, managerial, financial, international, industry-specific or other expertise. We do not have a specific written policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. We focus on identifying nominees with experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to work with the other directors to serve the long-term interests of our stockholders. All those matters being equal, we do and will consider diversity as a positive additional characteristic in potential nominees.

The Board does not have a formal written policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. We focus on identifying nominees with experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to work with the other directors to serve the long-term interests of our stockholders. All those matters being equal, we do and will consider diversity a positive additional characteristic in potential nominees. Not only has this informal approach to the promotion of diversity resulted in a group of director nominees that we believe to be individuals of substantial accomplishment with demonstrated leadership capabilities, but, as indicated in the charts below, it has also resulted in a group of director nominees possessing diversity of thought, perspective, experience, and backgrounds.

In addition to candidates submitted by Board members, director nominees recommended by stockholders will be considered. Stockholder recommendations must be made in accordance with the procedures above and will receive the same consideration that other nominees receive. All nominees are evaluated by our Nominating and Governance Committee to determine whether they meet the minimum qualifications and whether they will satisfy our Board’s needs for specific expertise at that time.

No stockholder has nominated anyone for election as a director at this annual meeting.

All communications are compiled and forwarded to the Board or the individual director(s) accordingly.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Board understands that board structures vary greatly among United States public corporations, and the Board does not believe that any one leadership structure is more effective at creating long-term stockholder value. The Board believes that an effective leadership structure could be achieved either by combining or separating the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions, so long as the structure encourages the free and open dialogue of competing views and provides for strong checks and balances. Specifically, the Board believes that to be effective, the governance structure must balance the powers of the Chief Executive Officer and the independent directors and ensure that the independent directors are fully informed, able to discuss and debate the issues that they deem important, and able to provide effective oversight of management.

Currently, the Chairman of the Board of Directors is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Nevan C. Elam. The Board believes that combining the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions are currently the most effective leadership structure for the Company given Mr. Elam’s in-depth knowledge of the Company’s business, operations and industry, as well as his ability to formulate and implement strategic initiatives. Further, Mr. Elam is intimately involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company and is thus in a position to elevate the most critical business issues for consideration by the Board.

Nevertheless, the Board believes that “one-size” does not fit all, and the decision of whether to combine or separate the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will vary from company to company and depend upon a company’s particular circumstances at a given point in time. Accordingly, the Board will continue to consider from time to time whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be combined or separated based on what the Board believes is best for the Company and its stockholders.

Our Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of risk management. As part of this oversight, on a regular basis, our Board receives reports from various members of management and is actively involved in monitoring and approving key decisions relating to our operations and strategy. In setting the Company’s business strategy, the Board assesses the various risks being mitigated by management and determines what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for the Company. While the Board of Directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, various committees of the Board of Directors also have responsibility for risk management. For example, the Audit Committee oversees risks relating to accounting and financial reporting matters, as well as the enterprise risk management process; the Compensation Committee oversees risks relating to the compensation and incentives provided to our executive officers; and the Nominating and Governance Committee oversees risks and exposures associated with director and management succession planning, corporate governance and overall effectiveness of the Board. The Board is advised by these committees of significant risks and management’s response via periodic updates.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by (i) each director, (ii) each Named Executive Officer, (iii) all directors and executive officers as a group, and (iv) each person who we know beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock, in each case as of October 7, 2024 (the “Record Date”), unless otherwise indicated below. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to such securities. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes all shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power and investment power and includes all shares that an individual or entity has the right to acquire within 60 days after the Record Date through the exercise of pre-funded warrants, other warrants, stock options, or other rights.

Certain shareholders have voluntarily placed ownership blocker restrictions that prevent exercise of their pre-funded warrants and other warrants for a 60-day period. Accordingly, such pre-funded warrants and other warrants with ownership blocker restrictions are not considered to be beneficially owned by those shareholders because the underlying shares does not have voting and dispositive rights within 60 days after the Record Date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shares that are subject to beneficial ownership through the exercise of pre-funded warrants, other warrants and stock options are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned for the purpose of computing share and percentage ownership of that person or entity but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or entity.

Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, and as affected by applicable community property laws, all persons listed have sole voting and investment power for all shares shown beneficially owned by them. This information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.

The number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage of shares beneficially owned are based on 55,927,913shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of our directors and executive officers is c/o Rezolute, Inc., 275 Shoreline Drive, Suite 500, Redwood City, California 94065.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the SEC and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, all filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

We rely on our Audit Committee to review related party transactions on an ongoing basis to prevent conflicts of interest. Our Audit Committee reviews a transaction in light of the affiliations of the director, officer or employee and the affiliations of such person’s immediate family. Transactions are presented to our Board for approval before they are entered into or, if this is not possible, for ratification after the transaction has occurred. If our Board finds that a conflict of interest exists, then it will determine the appropriate remedial action, if any. Our Board approves or ratifies a transaction if it determines that the transaction is consistent with the best interests of the Company.

Director Independence

Because our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we have used the definition of “independence” as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market to determine whether our current directors or our new directors are independent. We have determined that as of June 30, 2024, Messrs. Fauchet and Labrucherie and Drs. Hogenhuis and Kreher were independent directors as defined by Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2), and for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

•

the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the Company;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

•

a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the Company;

•

the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);

•

the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the Company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

•

the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the Company’s audit.

Investors in Registered Direct Offerings

In connection with a 2022 Private Placement in July 2022, Handok and Young-Jin Kim purchased 3,157,895 and 78,947 shares, respectively, of common stock at $3.80 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds from these transactions amounted to $12.3 million.

In connection with the 2024 Private Placement in July 2024, Handok purchased 1,250,000 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds from Handok amounted to $5.0 million.

Vote Required

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting on the election of directors. The nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the six nominees named above. If you do not vote for a particular nominee, or if you withhold authority for one or all nominees, your vote will not count either “for” or “against” the nominee, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Generally, brokers do not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares with respect to this “non-routine” matter. However, broker non-votes are not votes cast; thus broker non-votes will not be counted “for” or “against” the nominee. If any director-nominee should withdraw or otherwise become unavailable for reasons not presently known, the proxies which would have otherwise been voted for that director nominee may be voted for a substitute director nominee selected by our Board.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE ABOVE-IDENTIFIED DIRECTOR-NOMINEES.

PROPOSAL 2
ACCOUNTANT PROPOSAL

Dismissal of Previous Accountant and Engagement of New Accountant

On March 8, 2024 we dismissed Plante & Moran, PLLC as our independent auditors (“Plante Moran”). Plante Moran performed audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Plante Moran’s reports did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the two years ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, and the subsequent interim period up to and including the date of Plante Moran’s dismissal, there were no (i) disagreements between the Company and Plante Moran on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to its satisfaction, would have caused Plante Moran

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or (ii) “reportable events,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except for the disclosure of the material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

On March 14, 2024, Plante Moran furnished a letter stating it read and agreed with the Company’s characterization of its reasons for dismissing Plante Moran.

On March 8, 2024 the Company appointed the firm Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”), to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. During the two years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim period up to and including the date of Plante Moran’s dismissal, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted Grant Thornton with respect to any accounting or auditing issues involving the Company. In particular, there was no discussion with the Company regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as described in Item 304 of Regulation S-K, with Plante Moran, or a “reportable event” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of the Regulation S-K.

While our Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm, our Board is requesting that the stockholders ratify this appointment. If the stockholders ratify this appointment, our Board, in its discretion, may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it believes that doing so would be in the best interests of our stockholders. If the stockholders do not ratify this appointment, our Board may reconsider, but might not change, its appointment. A representative of Grant Thornton is expected to attend virtually at the Annual Meeting and is available to respond to appropriate questions. Such representative does not intend to make a statement at the Annual Meeting.

These stock options will expire on September 23, 2034.

Options Exercised

As of June 30, 2024, there were no shares acquired upon the exercise of stock options for any of our Named Executive Officers.

Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the comparison assumes $100 was invested in our common stock on June 30, 2021, using the closing stock price on that date. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

Relationship Between Pay and Performance

CAP as calculated per Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, reflects cash compensation actually paid as well as changes to the fair values of equity awards during the indicated fiscal years in the table based on year-end or vesting date stock prices, and various accounting valuation assumptions. Due to how CAP is calculated, the CAP as reported for each fiscal year does not reflect the actual amounts earned by our NEOs from their equity awards. CAP generally fluctuates annually due to the change in our stock price from fiscal year to fiscal year as well as varying levels of actual achievement of performance goals.

Below are graphs showing the relationship of “Compensation Actually Paid” to our PEO and the Reported NEOs for fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024 to (1) the cumulative TSR of our common stock and (2) our net income.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors. The code is available on our website, www.rezolutebio.com, under the “Investors” tab, which was amended and restated on May 30, 2023. We intend to disclose future amendments to, or waivers from, certain provisions of our code of ethics, if any, either in (i) a Current Report on Form 8-K or (ii) on the above website within four business days following the date of such amendment or waiver.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our Compensation Committee is or has been an officer or employee of the Company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the Compensation Committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board) or as a director of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Board or the Compensation Committee.

Restrictions on Short Sales, Hedging, Pledging, and Similar Transactions

Our insider trading policy prohibits our employees (including executive officers) and directors from engaging in transactions involving short sales, options trading, and hedging or monetization arrangements with respect to our securities, as well as prohibits such individuals from holding the Company’s securities in a margin account. Additionally, our insider trading policy generally prohibits such individuals from entering into pledging arrangements with respect to our securities, except in limited circumstances with pre-approval from the Audit Committee.

Compensation Recovery Policy

The Compensation Committee has adopted a compensation recovery policy (the “Clawback Policy”) in compliance with applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards, that provides for the recovery of certain incentive-based compensation paid or granted to our executive officers in the event we are required to restate our financial statements. The Clawback Policy provides that, in the event of the restatement of any financial reporting required under the securities laws, our board of directors (or applicable committee thereof) will take such actions as necessary to recover the portion of any incentive-based compensation that was granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure that exceeds of the amount they would have received had their incentive-based compensation been calculated based on the financial restatement. The recovery period extends up to three years prior to the date that it is, or reasonably should have been, concluded that we are required to prepare a restatement. The Clawback Policy is enforced without consideration of responsibility or fault or lack thereof. The Clawback Policy is administered by our Compensation Committee. For more information, see the full text of our Clawback Policy, which is filed as an exhibit to our annual report on Form 10-K.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as described herein. Because the vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Company, our Board or the Compensation Committee. Nevertheless, the views expressed by our stockholders, whether through this vote or otherwise, are important to us and, accordingly, the Board and the Compensation Committee intend to consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

future regarding executive compensation arrangements. Abstentions will have no effect on this proposal. If you are a “street name” stockholder and you do not provide your brokerage firm with voting instructions, your brokerage firm may not cast votes with respect to the shares that you beneficially own. These broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL 4
SHARE INCREASE PROPOSAL

General

At this Annual Meeting, we are asking our stockholders to approve and amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 165,000,000 shares of common stock. The form of the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the Share Increase Proposal will be substantially as set forth on Appendix B to this proxy statement.

Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock

As of October 7, 2024, we had 100,400,000 authorized shares of capital stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares designated as Common Stock, $0.001 of which 55,927,913 shares were issued and outstanding.

Background and Purpose of Share Increase Proposal

The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to give the Company greater flexibility in considering and planning for future potential business needs. The Company has no definitive plan, arrangement, or understanding to issue the additional shares of common stock other than as required by its outstanding convertible securities. The additional shares of common stock will be available for issuance by the Board for various corporate purposes, including but not limited to, grants under employee stock plans, financings, potential strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, divestitures, business combinations, as well as other general corporate transactions. We will need to raise substantial additional funding to, among other things, fund our operations, conduct and/or complete clinical trials, make future milestone payments, and satisfy any of our other current or future obligations. Without an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock, the Company may be constrained in its ability to raise capital in a timely fashion or at all and may lose important business opportunities, which could adversely affect our financial performance and growth.

Effects of the Amendment

The increase will not have any effect on the authorized or outstanding shares of preferred stock, nor will the increase have any effect on any outstanding equity incentive awards or warrants to purchase our common stock.

The issuance in the future of additional authorized shares of common stock may have the effect of diluting the earnings or loss per share and book value per share, as well as the ownership and voting rights of the holders of our then-outstanding shares of common stock.

Possible Anti-Takeover Implications of the Authorized Share Increase

We have no intent or plan to employ the additional unissued authorized shares as an anti-takeover device. The increase in the authorized shares of common stock is not being recommended by our Board as part of an anti-takeover strategy. As indicated above, the purpose of the increase in our authorized shares of common stock is to ensure that we have sufficient authorized common stock to, among other things, provide flexibility to consummate future equity financings and other corporate opportunities, as well as for future equity awards.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

However, our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law and regulation) be issued in one or more transactions that could make a change of control more difficult and therefore more unlikely.

The purpose of Share Increase Proposal is not in response to any effort known to our Board to accumulate common stock or to obtain control of our Company by means of a merger, tender offer or solicitation in opposition to management. Further, our Board of Directors does not currently contemplate recommending the adoption of any other amendments or other arrangement that could be construed as limiting the ability of third parties to consummate a takeover or effect a change of control. Although this proposal to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any known or threatened hostile takeover attempt, stockholders should be aware that approval of this proposal could facilitate future efforts by our Company to oppose changes in control of our Company, including transactions in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices and perpetuate our Company’s management. The Company does not have any current plans to issue the additional shares of common stock if this Share Increase Proposal is approved.

An increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock may have a potential anti-takeover effect, as our ability to issue additional shares could be used to thwart persons, or otherwise dilute the stock ownership of stockholders, seeking to control our Company.

What vote is required to approve the Share Increase Proposal?

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding will be required to approve the Share Increase Proposal. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE SHARE INCREASE PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 5
AMENDMENT OF 2021 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

On May 26, 2021, our stockholders approved the Rezolute, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan effective May 31, 2021 (the “2021 Equity Plan”). The purpose of the 2021 Equity Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by aiding the Company in attracting and retaining employees, officers, directors, consultants and independent contractors capable of assuring the future success of the Company, by providing such persons with opportunities for stock ownership in the Company and to offer such persons incentives to put forth maximum effort for the success of the Company’s business.

On June 16, 2022 and May 16, 2024 our stockholders approved an amendments to the 2021 Equity Plan to increase the shares of commons stock covered by and reserved for issuance under the 2021 Equity plan to 10,700,000 and to reflect the adoption of the Company’s incentive compensation recovery policy.

Our Board has unanimously adopted and is submitting for stockholder approval an amendment to increase the number of shares covered by, and reserved for issuance under, the 2021 Equity Plan by 3,750,000 shares of common stock resulting (if such increase is authorized by the stockholders) in the aggregate of 14,450,000 shares authorized for issuance under the 2021 Equity Plan (the “2021 Equity Plan Amendment”). Such amendment will enable the Company to make grants under the Plan to directors, employees (including officers), independent contractors, and other persons who provide services to us.

The Compensation Committee (for purposes of this summary, the “Committee”) administers the 2021 Equity Plan. The following discussion and summary of the material terms of the 2021 Equity Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2021 Equity Plan, which is included in the 2024 Annual Report and the Amendment to the 2021 Equity Plan which is set forth in Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Description of 2021 Equity Plan

Administration. The Committee will administer the 2021 Equity Plan and will have full power and authority to determine when and to whom awards will be granted, and the type, amount and other terms and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

conditions of each award, consistent with the provisions of the 2021 Equity Plan. Subject to the provisions of the 2021 Equity Plan, the Committee may amend the terms of, or accelerate the exercisability of, an outstanding award. The Committee will have authority to interpret the 2021 Equity Plan and establish rules and regulations for the administration of the 2021 Equity Plan.

The Committee may delegate its powers under the 2021 Equity Plan to the Chief Executive Officer and/or one or more executive officers, subject to the requirements of applicable law and exchange requirements. However, such delegated officers will not be permitted to grant awards to any members of the Board or executive officers who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Eligibility. Any employee, officer, director, consultant or independent contractor providing services to Rezolute, Inc. or an affiliate, or any person to whom an offer of employment or engagement has been made, and who is selected by the Committee to participate, is eligible to receive an award under the 2021 Equity Plan. The number of persons eligible to participate as of May 5, 2022 (the record date for the meeting), had the 2021 Equity Plan been in effect, is estimated to be approximately 40 employees, officers and consultants as a class. Historically, the Committee has not granted awards to more than approximately 35 employees in any single fiscal year.

Shares Available for Awards. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued under all stock-based awards made under the 2021 Equity Plan will be 14,450,000 shares. If awards issued under the 2021 Equity Plan expire or otherwise terminate without being exercised or settled, the shares of Common Stock not acquired pursuant to such awards again become available for issuance under the 2021 Equity Plan. However, under the share counting provisions of the 2021 Equity Plan, the following classifications of shares will not again be available for issuance: (i) shares unissued due to a “net exercise” of a stock option, (ii) any shares withheld or shares tendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations under any award, (iii) shares covered by a SAR that is not settled in shares upon exercise and (iv) shares repurchased using stock option exercise proceeds.

The Committee can adjust the number of shares and share limits described above in the case of a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-off, repurchase or exchange of shares, or other similar corporate transaction where such an adjustment is necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits available under the 2021 Equity Plan. Any adjustment determination made by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Type of Awards and Terms and Conditions. The 2021 Equity Plan provides that the Committee may grant awards to eligible participants in any of the following forms, subject to such terms, conditions and provisions as the Committee may determine to be necessary or desirable:

•

stock options, including both incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified stock options (together with ISOs, “options”);

•

stock appreciation rights (“SARs”);

•

restricted stock;

•

restricted stock units;

•

dividend equivalent rights; and

•

other stock-based awards.

The Committee will have the right to make the timing of the grant and/or the issuance, ability to retain, vesting, exercise and/or settlement of awards subject to completion of a minimum period of service, achievement of one or more performance goals or both as deemed appropriate by the Committee; provided, that a maximum of five percent of the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Equity Plan may be issued with the terms providing for a right of exercise or a lapse on any vesting condition earlier than a date that is at least one year following the date of grant (or, in the case of vesting based upon performance-based objectives, exercise and vesting restrictions cannot lapse earlier than the one-year anniversary, measured from the commencement of the period over which performance is evaluated).

1. Options and SARs. The holder of an option is entitled to purchase a number of shares of our Common Stock at a specified exercise price during a specified time period, all as determined by the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Committee. The holder of a SAR is entitled to receive the excess of the fair market value (calculated as of the exercise date) of a specified number of shares of our Common Stock over the grant price of the SAR. Except for the exercise price of the option, we would receive no consideration for options or SARs granted under the 2021 Equity Plan, other than the services rendered by the holder in his or her capacity as an employee, officer, director, consultant or independent contractor of the Company.

Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of an option or SAR will in no event be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of our Common Stock underlying the award on the date of grant, unless such award is granted in substitution for an option or SAR previously granted by a merged or acquired entity. Without the approval of stockholders, we will not amend or replace previously granted options or SARs in a transaction that constitutes a “repricing” as defined in the 2021 Equity Plan.

Vesting. The Committee has the discretion to determine when and under what circumstances an option or SAR will vest, subject to minimum vesting provisions described above.

Exercise. The Committee has the discretion to determine the method or methods by which an option or SAR may be exercised, which methods may include a net exercise. The Committee is not authorized under the 2021 Equity Plan to accept a promissory note as consideration.

Expiration. Options and SARs will expire at such time as the Committee determines; provided, however, that no option or SAR may be exercised more than ten years from the date of grant. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an ISO granted to a 10% stockholder, the option may not be exercised more than five years from the date of grant.

2. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The holder of restricted stock will own shares of our Common Stock subject to restrictions imposed by the Committee for a specified time period determined by the Committee. The holder of restricted stock units will have the right, subject to restrictions imposed by the Committee, to receive shares of our Common Stock at some future date determined by the Committee. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of restricted stock and restricted stock units will occur at such times and in such installments as are determined by the Committee, subject to the minimum vesting provisions described above.

3. Dividend Equivalents. The holder of a dividend equivalent will be entitled to receive payments (in cash or shares of our Common Stock) equivalent to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company to stockholders with respect to the number of shares determined by the Committee. Dividend equivalents will be subject to other terms and conditions determined by the Committee, but the Committee may not (i) grant dividend equivalents in connection with options or SARs or (ii) pay a dividend equivalent with respect to a share underlying an award prior to the date on which all conditions or restrictions on such share have been satisfied or lapsed.

4. Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is also authorized to grant other types of awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to shares of our Common Stock, subject to terms and conditions determined by the Committee and the limitations in the 2021 Equity Plan. No such stock-based awards will contain a purchase right or an option-like exercise feature.

Termination and Amendment. Assuming stockholders approve this Proposal 4, the 2021 Equity Plan has a term of ten years expiring on May 31, 2031, unless terminated earlier by the Board. The Board may from time to time amend, suspend or terminate the 2021 Equity Plan. No amendment or modification of the 2021 Equity Plan may be made that would adversely affect any outstanding award without the consent of the participant or the current holder of the award (except in the case of a corporate transaction as described below). Amendments to the 2021 Equity Plan must be approved by the stockholders, if required under the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchange applicable to the Company, or if the amendment would (i) increase the number of shares authorized under the 2021 Equity Plan, (ii) permit a repricing of options or SARs, (iii) permit the award of options or SARs with an exercise price less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant, (iv) increase the maximum term of options or SARs, or (v) increase the annual per-person share limits under the 2021 Equity Plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Effect of Corporate Transaction. Awards under the 2021 Equity Plan are generally subject to special provisions upon the occurrence of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, plan of arrangement, take-over bid or tender offer, repurchase or exchange of shares, or any other similar corporate transaction or event involving the Company. In the event of such a corporate transaction, the Committee or the Board may provide for any of the following to be effective upon the occurrence of the event (or effective immediately prior to the consummation of such event, provided the event is consummated):

termination of any award, whether vested or not, in exchange for an amount of cash and/or other property equal to the amount that would have been attained upon exercise of the award or the realization of the participant’s rights under the award. Awards may be terminated without payment if the Committee or Board determines that no amount is realizable under the award as of the time of the transaction;

•

replacement of any award with other rights or property selected by the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion;

•

the assumption of any award by the successor or survivor entity (or its parent or subsidiary) or the arrangement for the substitution for similar awards covering the stock of such successor entity with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

•

require that any award shall become exercisable or payable or fully vested, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable award agreement; or

•

require that the award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable until after a future date, which may be the effective date of the corporate transaction.

Limited Transferability of Awards. Generally, no award or other right or interest of a participant under the 2021 Equity Plan (other than fully vested and unrestricted shares issued pursuant to an award) shall be transferable by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and no right or award may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any affiliates. However, the Committee may allow transfer of an award to family members for no value, and such transfer shall comply with the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Committee may establish procedures to allow a named beneficiary to exercise the rights of the participant and receive any property distributable with respect to any award upon the participant’s death.

Clawback or Recoupment. All Awards under this Plan shall be subject to recovery or other penalties pursuant to (i) any Company clawback policy, as may be adopted or amended from time to time, or (ii) any applicable law, rule or regulation or applicable stock exchange rule, including, without limitation, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any applicable stock exchange listing rule adopted pursuant thereto.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

Grant of Options and SARs. The grant of a stock option or SAR is not expected to result in any taxable income to the recipient.

Exercise of Options and SARs. Upon exercising a non-qualified stock option, the optionee must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and we generally will be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount. The holder of an ISO generally will have no taxable income upon exercising the option (except that an alternative minimum tax liability may arise), and we will not be entitled to an income tax deduction. Upon exercising a SAR, the amount of any cash received and the fair market value on the exercise date of any shares of our Common Stock received are taxable to the recipient as ordinary income and generally are deductible by us.

Disposition of Shares Acquired Upon Exercise of Options and SARs. The tax consequence upon a disposition of shares acquired through the exercise of an option or SAR will depend on how long the shares have been held and whether the shares were acquired by exercising an ISO or by exercising a non-qualified stock option or SAR. Generally, there will be no tax consequence to the Company in connection with the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

disposition of shares acquired under an option or SAR, except that the Company may be entitled to an income tax deduction in the case of the disposition of shares acquired under an ISO, if the disposition occurs before the applicable ISO holding periods set forth in the Internal Revenue Code have been satisfied.

Awards Other than Options and SARs. If an award is payable in shares of our Common Stock that are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, unless a special election is made by the holder of the award under the Internal Revenue Code, the holder must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of: (i) the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the first time the shares become transferable or not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever occurs earlier) over (ii) the amount (if any) paid for the shares by the holder of the award. We will generally be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount. As to other awards granted under the 2021 Equity Plan that are payable either in cash or shares of our Common Stock not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, the holder of the award must recognize ordinary income equal to: (a) the amount of cash received or, as applicable, (b) the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the date such shares are received) over (ii) the amount (if any) paid for the shares by the holder of the award.

Income Tax Deduction. Subject to the usual rules concerning reasonable compensation, including our obligation to withhold or otherwise collect certain income and payroll taxes, we generally will be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction at the time a participant recognizes ordinary income from awards made under the 2021 Equity Plan. However, Section 162(m) of the Code prohibits publicly held corporations from deducting more than $1 million per year in compensation paid to certain named executive officers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which was signed into law at the end of 2017, made significant changes to the deduction limit under Section 162(m), which are effective for taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2018. The Act eliminated the exception to the deduction limit for qualified performance-based compensation and broadens the application of the deduction limit to certain current and former executive officers who previously were exempt from such limit. Therefore, compensation paid to a covered executive under the 2021 Equity Plan in excess of $1 million generally will not be deductible.

Special Rules for Executive Officers Subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Special rules may apply to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In particular, unless a special election is made pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, shares received through the exercise or settlement of an award may be treated as restricted as to transferability and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for a period of up to six months after the date of exercise. Accordingly, the amount of any ordinary income recognized, and the amount of our income tax deduction will be determined as of the end of that period.

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee intends to administer and interpret the 2021 Equity Plan and all award agreements in a manner consistent to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to avoid any adverse tax results thereunder to a holder of an award.

Vote Required

The approval of the amendment of the 2021 Plan will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have no effect on this proposal. If you are a “street name” stockholder and you do not provide your brokerage firm with voting instructions, your brokerage firm may not cast votes with respect to the shares that you beneficially own. These broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE 2021 PLAN AMENDMENT.

PROPOSAL 6
ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

General

In order to ensure that approval of the Share Increase Proposal is obtained, the Board wishes to seek approval of a proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit more votes in favor of the Share Increase Proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Vote Required

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, are not treated as votes cast, and therefore will have no effect on this proposal. Unless marked otherwise, proxies received will be voted “for” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board is not aware of any matter to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting other than the proposals described above. Although the Board knows of no other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting, all proxies returned to us will be voted on any such matter in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holders.

COSTS OF PROXY SOLICITATION
