Explanatory

Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed by Oncocyte Corporation (the “Company”) as an amendment of and supplement to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed the Company on July 21, 2022 (the “Original Report”). The Original Report was filed, among other things, to report voting results with respect to Proposal No. 5 (as defined below) at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”) held on July 15, 2022. This Amendment amends the Original Report to update the disclosure regarding the previously reported results with respect to Proposal No. 5.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As reported in the Original Report, at the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company voted on a proposal (“Proposal No. 5”) to approve an amendment (the “Plan Amendment”) to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) to eliminate “fungible share counting” in order to provide that any shares of common stock granted in connection with any awards will be counted against the number of shares available for the grant of awards under the Incentive Plan as one share for every award at the Meeting, as more fully described in the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to the Meeting, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 8, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”). Approval of Proposal No. 5 required the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Meeting, provided that a quorum is present. However, the Proxy Statement erroneously stated that approval of Proposal No. 5 required the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and voting on Proposal No. 5 at the Meeting.

As disclosed in the Original Report, the voting results for Proposal No. 5 were as follows:

Accordingly, because the 42,563,690 votes cast in favor of Proposal No. 5 at the Meeting did not constitute a majority of the shares represented at the Meeting, Proposal No. 5 to approve the Plan Amendment was not approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Meeting, and the statements in the Original Report to the contrary were made in error and are updated as set forth in this Amendment.

Item9.01 - Financial Statements and Exhibits.
