Item 11.
Executive Compensation.
Executive Compensation Program for 2021 Fiscal Year
The following is a discussion of fiscal year 2021 compensation arrangements for our named executive officers. As a smaller reporting company under the SEC’s rules, we are not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and have elected to comply with certain of the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies.
This section provides a discussion of the compensation paid or awarded to our President and Chief Executive Officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers serving as of May 31, 2021, the end of fiscal year 2021. We refer to these individuals as our “named executive officers.” All other executive officers who served during fiscal year 2021 received total compensation less than the amounts paid or awarded to our named executive officers. For fiscal year 2021, our named executive officers were:
 
   
Nader Z. Pourhassan, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer;
 
   
Scott A. Kelly, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Head of Business Development; and

Table of Contents
   
Nitya G. Ray, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer.
The Compensation Committee structured our compensation program for fiscal year 2021 to include the elements described below.
Base Salaries
The Compensation Committee determined base salaries for the named executive officers based on a variety of factors, including individual performance, job responsibilities, and tenure with the Company, as well as prior experience, economic conditions facing the Company, retention, and salary levels in the competitive labor market and for similar positions at companies in the Company’s peer group.
In determining the base salaries for the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee also solicited input from the CEO with respect to the compensation of the other named executive officers and took into consideration the CEO’s recommendations.
The Compensation Committee approved increases in the base salaries of Dr. Pourhassan and Dr. Ray for fiscal year 2021 by approximately 16% and 31%, respectively, in recognition of their unique individual contributions, as well as their collective efforts in advancing the Company’s operating and strategic priorities, with the goal of increasing long-term stockholder value.
Annual Cash Incentive Plan and Other Bonus Payments
For fiscal year 2021, the Compensation Committee established performance goals for each of our named executive officers under our bonus plan for executive officers. The target level of annual cash incentives for each named executive officer, expressed as a percentage of base salary, is fixed in the executive’s employment agreement, as described under “Employment Agreements” below. The goals for the 2021 fiscal year, as well as the allocation of target amounts among the goals, were established after discussions by the Compensation Committee with the CEO regarding the performance needed to drive execution of the Company’s strategic plan. The Compensation Committee determined the amounts to be paid to the named executive officers in August 2021 based on the extent to which their goals were achieved. The performance goals tied to obtaining FDA approval for our drug product and target annual revenues, which together comprised 30% to 40% of the named executive officers’ total target amounts, were not achieved. The Compensation Committee determined that the goals related to recruiting additional partners to further the development of markets for our drug product and strengthening the capabilities of our management team or scientific advisory board (for all three named executive officers), obtaining additional financing to support the Company’s operations (for Dr. Pourhassan and Dr. Kelly), and managing production of our drug product on a cost-effective basis (for Dr. Ray), were partially achieved, resulting in payouts of the following percentages of the respective target amounts: Dr. Pourhassan, 20%; Dr. Kelly, 30.7%; and Dr. Ray, 35%. The resulting dollar amounts are shown in the “Summary Compensation Table” below in the Nonequity Incentive Plan Compensation column. See the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below for additional information.
In July 2020, the Compensation Committee also approved discretionary bonuses to our named executive officers as shown in the Bonus column of the “Summary Compensation Table” below. The Compensation Committee approved the bonuses in light of the executive team’s unanticipated achievements in creating stockholder value during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as well as its expeditious efforts in seeking regulatory approval of the Company’s drug product to treat
COVID-19
patients despite the operating difficulties created by the pandemic.

Long-Term Equity Incentives
We also provide long-term incentives to our named executive officers under our Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2012 Plan”). Before fiscal year 2021, these incentives typically took the form of incentive or
non-qualified
stock options. Stock options provide our executives with opportunities for financial gain derived from the potential appreciation in stock price from the date the option is granted until the date the option is exercised. Stock options are granted to executives with an exercise price equal to or above the closing sale price of our common stock on the OTCQB on the grant date. The vesting provisions of the stock options granted in the past have varied but have typically vested in three equal annual installments beginning one year after the date of grant. Our long-term performance ultimately determines the value of stock options, because gains from stock option exercises are entirely dependent on the long-term appreciation in the price of our common stock. As a result, we believe stock options encourage our executives and other employees to focus on creating shareholder value. In fiscal year 2021, Drs. Pourhassan, Kelly and Ray received stock options to purchase 2,000,000, 500,000 and 500,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, which vest in three equal annual installments on each of June 15, 2021, 2022 and 2023, subject to the named executive officer’s continued employment through each applicable vesting date. See the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below for additional information about stock options granted in fiscal year 2021.
For fiscal year 2021, the Compensation Committee restructured the equity award program for our named executive officers to also include grants of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”). The RSUs awarded to our named executive officers were intended to provide more stable incentives than stock options, enabling us to better attract and retain top talent in a marketplace where such incentives are prevalent. In fiscal year 2021, Drs. Pourhassan, Kelly and Ray received RSUs with respect to 500,000, 250,000 and 200,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, which vest in three equal annual installments on each of June 15, 2021, 2022 and 2023, subject to the named executive officer’s continued employment through each applicable vesting date. The PSUs awarded in fiscal year 2021 to our named executive officers were intended to further align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders. PSU awards of 1,000,000 shares for Dr. Pourhassan, 500,000 shares for Dr. Kelly, and 150,000 shares for Dr. Ray were granted and tied to the achievement of the strategic performance goals established for the fiscal 2021 annual cash incentives. In August 2021, as discussed under “Annual Cash Incentive Plan and Other Bonus Payments” above, the Compensation Committee determined that the levels of achievement of the target goals were as follows: Dr. Pourhassan, 20%; Dr. Kelly, 30.7%; and Dr. Ray, 35%, resulting in the vesting of 200,000, 153,500, and 52,500 shares, respectively. The RSUs and PSUs require our executives to remain continuously employed with us until the applicable vesting date in order to receive shares, with certain exceptions in the event of a change in control of the Company or the executive’s death or disability, as described in “Payments upon Termination of Employment, Death or Disability, or Change of Control” below. The Compensation Committee also approved two special PSU awards to Dr. Pourhassan relating to a total of 2,000,000 shares and to Dr. Kelly relating to a total of 500,000 shares. The vesting of one set of awards, relating to 50% of the total shares, was tied to achieving FDA approval of our drug product for use in HIV patients during fiscal year 2021, which did not occur. The other awards, relating to an equal number of shares, were tied to achieving FDA approval of our drug product for use in
COVID-19
patients during fiscal year 2021, which also did not occur. See the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table below for additional information about RSUs and PSUs granted in fiscal year 2021.
In addition, Dr. Pourhassan was granted 323,157 fully vested shares of common stock under the 2012 Plan in July 2020 to replace stock options to purchase 554,545 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $2.07 per share that were rescinded in connection with settlement of a lawsuit in October 2018.

Compensation Information
Employee Pension, Profit Sharing or Other Retirement Plans
Effective January 1, 2010, we adopted an employee savings plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”) and covering substantially all employees. We make “safe harbor” qualified
non-elective
contributions, which vest immediately, equal to 3% of each participant’s salary, up to the maximum limit permitted under Section 401(k). In addition, participants in the 401(k) Plan may contribute a percentage of their compensation, up to the maximum limit under the Internal Revenue Code. We do not have any other defined benefit pension plan, profit sharing or retirement plan.
Employment Agreements
On April 10, 2020, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Kelly and, on June 15, 2020, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Dr. Pourhassan and Dr. Ray (together, the “Employment Agreements”). The Employment Agreements provide for indefinite terms of employment until terminated by either party as provided in the Employment Agreements. Each employment agreement provides for payment of a base salary (as adjusted by the Compensation Committee from time to time), equity awards under the 2012 Plan (or any successor plan) as determined by the Compensation Committee, and benefits generally made available to the Company’s senior leadership. Each named executive officer is also entitled to receive annual cash incentive performance awards, with target dollar amounts specified in the Employment Agreements as follows: Dr. Pourhassan, 100% of base salary; Dr. Kelly, 50% of base salary; and Dr. Ray, 50% of base salary. The actual amounts of target awards to be paid are based on the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of the level of achievement of the related performance goals, and are payable, as determined by the Compensation Committee, either in cash in full, or 50% in cash and 50% in unrestricted shares under (and as defined in) the 2012 Plan or any successor equity compensation plan as may be in place from time to time. Dr. Pourhassan is also eligible to receive a supplemental bonus for each fiscal year, as determined by the Compensation Committee, which may consider any unanticipated achievement of corporate objectives for such fiscal year. Such supplemental bonus may be paid in cash and/or unrestricted shares of our common stock. Under the Employment Agreements, the executive must remain actively employed by the Company through the date of a cash incentive payment to be entitled to the payment.
Payments upon Termination of Employment, Death or Disability, or Change of Control
In the event we terminate the employment of any of our named executive officers without cause, and subject to the named executive officer’s execution and
non-revocation
of a release of claims and continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants, the Employment Agreements provide for (i) a lump sum payment equal to the sum of 12 months of base salary for Dr. Pourhassan, six months for Dr. Kelly, and three months for Dr. Ray, (ii) payments equal to six months of base salary for Dr. Pourhassan and Dr. Kelly and nine months for Dr. Ray, to be paid in regular installments corresponding with the Company’s regular payroll schedule; provided, that the payments described in clause (ii) may not exceed two times the lesser of (A) the sum of the named executive officer’s annualized compensation based upon the named executive officer’s annual salary in the year preceding the year in which the named executive officer’s employment is terminated (adjusted for any increase during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely if the named executive officer’s employment had not terminated) or (B) the applicable dollar limit under Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code for the calendar year in which the named executive officer’s employment is terminated (such limit, the “Severance Limit”), and (iii) all outstanding stock options and other equity awards granted as of June 15, 2020 (April 10, 2020 in the case of Dr. Kelly) will vest and (if applicable) become immediately exercisable, except as otherwise provided in an award agreement. The payments described in clauses (i) and (ii) may, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, be made in whole or in part through the issuance of shares of common stock.
Upon an executive’s death or disability, the Company will satisfy its accrued obligations to pay salary and benefits through the date of the event. In the event of an executive’s death or disability during the performance period(s) applicable to outstanding PSUs, the executive or the executive’s estate will be entitled to receive the number of shares of common stock determined by the Compensation Committee to have been earned, based on the achievement of applicable performance goals, and prorated based on the executive’s completed months of employment during the performance period.
In the event we terminate the employment of any of our named executive officers without cause, or one of our named executive officers resigns for good reason, in each case, within 12 months following a change in control, and subject to the named executive officer’s execution and
non-revocation
of a release of claims, the Employment Agreements provide for (i) a lump sum payment equal to the sum of eight months of base salary for Dr. Pourhassan and Dr. Kelly and 18 months for Dr. Ray (in lieu of, and not in addition to, the severance that may be payable upon a termination without cause not within 12 months following a change in control); provided, that the payments described in this clause (i) with respect to Dr. Ray may not exceed the Severance Limit, and (ii) with respect to Dr. Pourhassan and Dr. Kelly, payments equal to ten months of base salary, to be paid on the first regular payroll date following the date that is 270 days following the termination date; provided, that the payments described in this clause (ii) may not exceed the Severance Limit. Also, all then outstanding and unvested stock options and other equity awards, if any, granted to a named executive officer as of the date of the executive’s Employment Agreement will vest as of the change in control date and (if applicable) become immediately exercisable, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement.
In the event a change in control occurs prior to the completion of the performance period(s) applicable to outstanding PSUs, a prorated portion of such PSUs based on target performance will convert to time-based RSUs which will vest on the one year anniversary of the grant date. The vesting of such time-based RSUs will accelerate in full in the event the holder’s employment is terminated by us without cause or by the holder for good reason.
The definitions of certain terms used in the Employment Agreements are summarized below:
“Cause” includes fraudulent or similar acts intended to enrich the executive personally to the detriment or at the expense of the Company; willful and continued failure to perform the duties or obligations reasonably assigned to the executive; a material breach of the confidentiality or
non-competition
provisions of the Employment Agreement; and conviction of a felony.
“Good reason” generally means a material reduction in the executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities; a material decrease in the executive’s base salary (with certain exceptions); a relocation of the executive’s principal place of employment by a distance of more than 50 miles; or a material breach of the Employment Agreement by the Company.
“Change in control” includes the acquisition by a person or group of more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of our outstanding stock; the replacement of a majority of the members of the Board during any
12-month
period (unless endorsed by a majority of the existing directors); or the acquisition by a person or group of assets representing at least 40% of the total gross fair market value of our assets.

Item 13.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.
Related Person Transactions
We describe below each transaction or series of similar transactions, since June 1, 2019, to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:
 
   
the amounts involved exceeded or may exceed $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at
year-end
for the last two completed fiscal years; and
 
   
any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
The Audit Committee of the Board reviews and approves all related party transactions in accordance with the Company’s Related Party Transactions Policy, which is available on our website, www.cytodyn.com/investors. Generally, it is the Company’s policy to enter into or ratify related party transactions only when the Board, acting through the Audit Committee, determines that the transaction in question is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Specifically, when reviewing a related party transaction, the Audit Committee considers all relevant factors, including but not limited to (if and to the extent possible): the benefits to the

Company; the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related party is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, stockholder or executive officer; the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; the terms of the transaction; and the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally. We believe the terms of the related party transactions described below or elsewhere in this Proxy Statement were comparable to terms we could have obtained in arm’s length dealings with unrelated third parties.
On November 16, 2018, the Company closed its acquisition of ProstaGene assets. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, the Company hired Richard Pestell, M.D., as its Chief Medical Officer. Prior to the acquisition Dr. Pestell was the holder of approximately 77.2% of the outstanding equity interests in ProstaGene and consequently held an indirect interest in (i) approximately 8.6 million of approximately 13.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) approximately 4.2 million of 5.4 million shares of common stock, in each case held in escrow for the benefit of ProstaGene and its members, which were subject to being released ratably every six months over the eighteen-month period following the closing date and forfeiture to satisfy certain indemnity obligations of ProstaGene. In addition, as specified in a Stock Restriction Agreement between Dr. Pestell and the Company, approximately 8.3 million restricted shares of common stock previously distributed to Dr. Pestell in the ProstaGene acquisition are currently the subject of litigation.
As specified in a Confidential Information, Inventions and Noncompetition Agreement between the Company and Dr. Pestell, which was entered into on the closing date of the ProstaGene acquisition, the Company obtained the right to participate in the development and license of certain intellectual property created by Dr. Pestell, in connection with Dr. Pestell’s then ongoing research obligations to outside academic institutions. The Company also obtained the right to work with Dr. Pestell to manage any potential conflict between the Company’s clinical development activities and such ongoing research obligations.
On July 15, 2019, the Company entered into consulting agreements with two of its directors, one with Dr. Kelly, then the Company’s
non-executive
Chief Science Officer, and the other with David F. Welch, Ph.D., then the Company’s
non-executive
interim Strategy Advisor. Dr. Kelly was paid cash compensation totaling $170,000 pursuant to the agreement, which was terminated on April 10, 2020 when he became the Company’s Chief Medical Officer in a full-time employee capacity. On September 12, 2019, the Company and Dr. Welch agreed to amend his consulting agreement to eliminate any cash compensation (including previously earned amounts) thereunder and in October 2019, the consulting agreement between Dr. Welch and the Company was terminated. The Company also issued stock options with a
10-year
term as compensation pursuant to the agreements as follows: on September 12, 2019, to Dr. Kelly for 750,000 shares and Dr. Welch for 250,000 shares, at an exercise price of $0.385 per share; and on October 7, 2019, to both Dr. Kelly and Dr. Welch for 187,500 shares at an exercise price of $0.39 per share. The options granted on September 12, 2019 vested immediately upon issuance; the options granted on October 7, 2019 became exercisable in four equal quarterly installments beginning on the grant date.
On June 12, 2019, the Company completed a warrant tender offer (the “June 2019 Warrant Tender Offer”) for certain outstanding eligible warrants, in which the holders of such warrants were offered the opportunity to amend and exercise their warrants at a reduced exercise price equal to the lower of (i) their respective existing exercise price or (ii) $0.40 per share of common stock. As an inducement to holders to participate in the June 2019 Warrant Tender Offer, the Company offered to issue to participating holders shares of common stock equal to an additional 50% of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the eligible warrants (collectively, the “Additional Shares”). Dr. Kelly tendered warrants covering an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock, and received 25,000 Additional Shares in exchange for the $20,000 total exercise price. Dr. Kelly participated on terms identical to those applicable to other holders in the June 2019 Warrant Tender Offer.

On July 31, 2019, the Company completed an additional warrant tender offer on terms identical to the June 2019 Warrant Tender Offer (the “July 2019 Warrant Tender Offer”). Dr. Welch tendered warrants covering an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, and received 500,000 Additional Shares in exchange for the $400,000 total exercise price. Dr. Welch participated on terms identical to those applicable to other holders in the July 2019 Warrant Tender Offer.
On September 30, 2019, an entity controlled by Dr. Welch extended the term of a nine-month unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 plus accrued but unpaid interest of $75,343, for an additional six months. The note had a conversion price of $0.50 per share and an interest rate of 10% per annum. In connection with the extension, the entity also received a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The entity controlled by Dr. Welch participated on similar terms to the other holders in the exchange. On April 1, 2020, the entity converted the note for 2,259,102 shares, which included unpaid accrued interest.
On October 8, 2019, an entity controlled by then director, Michael Klump, extended the term of a nine-month unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $500,000 and accrued but unpaid interest of $37,397 for an additional six months. The note had a conversion price of $0.50 per share and an interest rate of 10% per annum. In connection with the extension, the entity also received a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The entity controlled by Mr. Klump participated on similar terms to the other holders in the exchange.
On December 13, 2019, Jordan Naydenov, a director of the Company, participated in a registered direct equity offering. Mr. Naydenov purchased 833,333 shares of common stock and warrants with a conversion price of $0.45 per share covering 625,000 shares.
On December 23, 2019, an entity controlled by Dr. Welch participated in the offering, purchasing 1,639,344 shares of common stock and warrants covering 819,672 shares. The terms and conditions of the $250,000 investment by Mr. Naydenov and the $500,000 investment made by the entity controlled by Dr. Welch were identical to those offered to other investors in this offering.
On January 31, 2020, an entity controlled by Dr. Welch participated in the private securities offering by purchasing 1,000 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $1,000.00 per share, a dividend rate of 10% per year and a conversion price of $0.80 per share of common stock, together with warrants covering 500,000 shares of common stock. The terms and conditions of the $1,000,000 investment made by the entity controlled by Dr. Welch were identical to those offered to other investors in this offering.
On February 26, 2020, an entity controlled by Dr. Welch entered into a private warrant exchange in which the entity exercised warrants to purchase common stock at $0.18 per share in lieu of the stated exercise price on the original warrants of $0.30 per share. The entity controlled by Dr. Welch purchased 1,819,672 shares of common stock, as well as 181,967 additional shares as an inducement to exercise their warrants, for a total of 2,001,639 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The terms and conditions of the investment totaling approximately $330,000 made by the entity controlled by Dr. Welch were identical to those offered to other investors in this offering.
On November 17, 2020, the Company conducted a private equity offering, in which Christopher Recknor, M.D., who was a
non-executive
employee at the time of the offering, purchased unregistered shares of common stock for $1.50 per share. Pursuant to the offering, the Company sold approximately 666,666 shares to Dr. Recknor for aggregate proceeds of $999,999. The transaction was approved by the Board.
On March 11, 2021, the Company appointed Dr. Recknor, as its Chief Operating Officer (“COO”). The Center for Advanced Research & Education, LLC (“CARE”), owned by Julie Recknor, Ph.D., Dr. Recknor’s, is one of several clinical locations for the Company’s ongoing NASH and
COVID-19
long-hauler clinical trials, and was a clinical location for the Company’s completed Phase 2b/3
mild-to-moderate
and
severe-to-critical
COVID-19
clinical trials. Dr. Julie Recknor serves as the Site Director of CARE and manages its
day-to-day
operations. The Company entered into a Clinical Trial Agreement (“CTA”) with CARE for each of these clinical trials. Each CTA was negotiated in the ordinary course of business by Amarex, the Company’s Clinical Research Organization, prior to Dr. Recknor’s appointment as COO, and the operational and financial terms of the CTA with CARE are comparable to the terms available to unrelated clinical locations. Dr. Recknor was not involved in the Company’s decision to choose CARE as a

clinical location for its ongoing trials, and he is not involved in patient recruitment at the CARE site. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, the Company made no payments to CARE as it had not yet received any services under the CTA in effect prior to May 31, 2020. As of May 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $0.9 million in accounts payable due to CARE and made payments of approximately $0.9 million to CARE during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021. The Company anticipates making payments during the fiscal year ending May 31, 2022, to total approximately $400,000.
On September 23, 2021, Jordan G. Naydenov entered into a private warrant exchange in which he exercised warrants to purchase common stock at $0.90 and $1.50 per share in lieu of the stated exercise price on the original warrants of $0.45 and $0.75 per share, respectively. Mr. Naydenov purchased a total of 644,444 shares of common stock, as well as 644,444 additional shares as an inducement to exercise his warrants, for a total of 1,288,888 shares of common stock. The terms and conditions of the investment totaling approximately $700,000 made by Mr. Naydenov were identical to those offered to other investors.
Director Independence
We are not a “listed issuer” as that term is used in Regulation
S-K
Item 407 adopted by the SEC. However, in determining director independence, we use the definition of independence in Rule 5605(a)(2) and Rule 5605(c)(2) of the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Rules”).
The Board has determined that current directors Gardiner, Naydenov, Timmins and Patel are independent as defined in the Nasdaq Rules and none of them otherwise have a relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with his exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Transactions that the Board considered in making its determinations regarding director independence are described under “Related Person Transactions” above, although they did not require disclosure under Regulation
S-K
Item 404(a) adopted by the SEC.
