| Item 2.03. | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
On July 2, 2021, an arbitration panel issued its decision following a five-day arbitration hearing held in March 2021 concerning a previously disclosed claim by ProstaGene, LLC (“ProstaGene”), against CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”), as well as counterclaims by the Company, relating to approximately 3.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) held in escrow for certain indemnification claims asserted by the Company in connection with the acquisition of certain intangible assets from ProstaGene in November 2018. ProstaGene also sought monetary damages related to the delay in the release of the Shares. The Company, as of February 28, 2021, as disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Company’s 2021 third fiscal quarter, recognized a full impairment charge against the net carrying value of certain of the acquired intangible assets. Nonetheless, the arbitration panel determined that ProstaGene is entitled to release of the Shares, as well as a cash monetary award in the amount of approximately $6.2 million, plus interest, fees and costs estimated to total approximately $1.4 million. The Company expects to satisfy the arbitration award obligations within 30 days following the date of the award.
