EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On June 18, 2021, Rezolute, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Predecessor Registrant”), merged with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, Rezolute Nevada Merger Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 18, 2021 (the “Reincorporation Merger Agreement”), between the Predecessor Registrant and the Registrant, with the Registrant as the surviving corporation (the “Reincorporation Merger”). At the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Registrant was renamed “Rezolute, Inc.” and succeeded to the assets, continued the business and assumed the rights and obligations of the Predecessor Registrant immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger all by operation of law. The Reincorporation Merger Agreement was adopted by the holders of Predecessor Common Stock (as defined below) at the 2021 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Predecessor Registrant held on May 26, 2021. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “the Company” refers to the Predecessor Registrant and its subsidiaries with respect to the period prior to the Effective Time and to the Registrant and its subsidiaries with respect to the period on and after the Effective Time.

 

At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Predecessor Registrant automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Registrant.

 

In accordance with Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act, the shares of common stock of the Registrant were deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act as the successor to the Predecessor Registrant. The Registrant, as successor to the Predecessor Registrant hereby expressly adopts this Form 8-A/A as its own for all purposes of the Exchange Act. The shares of common stock of the Registrant continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RZLT”.
