SUMMARY OF PROPOSALS AND VOTING STANDARDS
| Proposal | Board Recommendation | Vote Required | Effect of Abstentions | Effect of Broker Non-Votes |
| Proposal 1 Reverse Stock Split Proposal |
FOR | The affirmative votes cast FOR Proposal 1 must exceed the votes cast AGAINST Proposal 1, as contemplated by Section 242(d)(2) of the DGCL, provided the conditions of that section are satisfied at the effective time of the amendment. | No effect. | Because Proposal 1 is expected to be classified as a routine matter under NYSE Rule 452, brokers holding shares in street name are expected to have discretionary authority to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal; however, the determination is made by the NYSE, and brokers may choose not to exercise discretionary voting authority. Accordingly, broker non-votes are not expected to occur on Proposal 1. |
| Proposal 2 Adjournment Proposal |
FOR | The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on Proposal 2. | Abstentions will have the same effect as votes AGAINST Proposal 2. | No effect. |

Questions and Answers About the Special Meeting and Voting
Q: What is the purpose of the Special Meeting?
A: At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal and to transact such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
Q: Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
A: You are receiving these proxy materials because you owned shares of our Common Stock as of the Record Date and are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. This proxy statement describes the matters on which you are being asked to vote and provides information to assist you in making an informed decision.
Q: Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?
A: Only holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on April 10, 2026 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote on each matter properly presented at the Special Meeting.
Q: How many shares of Common Stock were outstanding on the Record Date?
A: As of the Record Date, there were 36,271,119 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Q: How do I attend the Special Meeting?
A: The Special Meeting will be held exclusively online by live webcast. To attend the Special Meeting, visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LNAI2026SM and enter the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or voting instruction form. You should allow ample time to log in before the Special Meeting begins.
Q: What constitutes a quorum?
A: Under our Amended and Restated Bylaws, the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.
Q: How do I vote?
A: If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by Internet, telephone, mail or during the virtual Special Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner holding shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank, broker or other nominee. Even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting virtually, we encourage you to vote in advance.
7
Q: May my broker vote my shares without instructions?
A: Under NYSE Rule 452, which governs the ability of member organizations of the New York Stock Exchange to vote shares held in street name, brokers may exercise discretionary voting authority over uninstructed shares only on matters classified as “routine.” The Company believes that the Reverse Stock Split Proposal (Proposal 1) and the Adjournment Proposal (Proposal 2) are likely to be classified as routine matters under NYSE Rule 452, because charter amendments for reverse stock splits are generally treated as routine and adjournment proposals are generally treated as routine when the underlying proposal is routine. Accordingly, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your broker is expected to have discretionary authority to vote your shares on both proposals. However, the routine or non-routine classification is determined by the NYSE, not by the Company, and beneficial owners are encouraged to provide voting instructions in all events to ensure that their shares are voted in accordance with their wishes. If either proposal is determined by the NYSE to be non-routine, brokers will not be permitted to vote uninstructed shares on that proposal, and any resulting broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome because they will not be counted as votes cast.
Q: How can I change or revoke my proxy?
A: If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by submitting a later-dated proxy, by delivering a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary or by voting during the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.
Q: Who will count the votes?
A: An inspector of election appointed for the Special Meeting will tabulate the votes cast by proxy and during the Special Meeting and will determine whether a quorum is present.
Q: Who is soliciting the proxies and who pays the related expenses?
A: The Board is soliciting proxies for use at the Special Meeting. We will bear the costs of solicitation, including the cost of preparing, printing and mailing the proxy materials. We may reimburse banks, brokers and other nominees for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.
Q: How will the voting results be announced?
A: We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Special Meeting and to report final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days after the Special Meeting.
PROPOSAL 1 - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL
General
On April 2, 2026, the Board adopted resolutions approving and declaring advisable, and directing that there be submitted to the stockholders for approval, an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, in substantially the form attached as Annex A to this proxy statement (the “Certificate of Amendment”), to effect a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-3 to 1-for-30, inclusive (the “Reverse Stock Split”), with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion and publicly announced prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split.
If Proposal 1 is approved, the Board will have the authority, but not the obligation, to effect the Reverse Stock Split at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of the Special Meeting by filing the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Board also may elect to abandon the Reverse Stock Split at any time before the Certificate of Amendment becomes effective, notwithstanding stockholder approval of Proposal 1.
8
The Board believes that obtaining stockholder approval of a range of ratios, rather than a single fixed ratio, provides the Board with flexibility to implement the Reverse Stock Split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits of the Reverse Stock Split in light of then-current market conditions, the trading price of our Common Stock and Nasdaq listing considerations.
Background and Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split
Our primary reason for proposing the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the per-share trading price of our Common Stock and thereby improve our ability to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”).
On September 30, 2025, we effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our Common Stock (the “Prior Reverse Stock Split”) when the Company was known as Renovaro Inc. Following the Prior Reverse Stock Split, the per-share trading price of our Common Stock declined below $1.00. On February 6, 2026, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq notifying us that Nasdaq had determined to delist our securities because we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and we were not eligible for an additional compliance period under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) because we had effected the Prior Reverse Stock Split within the preceding one-year period. On February 17, 2026, Nasdaq granted our request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which was scheduled for, and held on, March 26, 2026. The delisting action has been stayed pending the Panel’s final written decision.
The Board believes that effecting the Reverse Stock Split may also improve the marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock, make our Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors, and enhance our ability to access the capital markets and to attract and retain employees, directors and service providers who receive equity-based compensation.
Although the Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split could help us maintain our Nasdaq listing, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if effected, will increase the market price of our Common Stock in proportion to the reduction in the number of outstanding shares or that the market price of our Common Stock will remain at or above the level necessary to satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.
Board Discretion; Ratio Selection
If Proposal 1 is approved and the Board determines to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, the Board will select the exact ratio within the approved range and file the Certificate of Amendment at such time as the Board deems appropriate. In determining whether to implement the Reverse Stock Split and which ratio to select, the Board expects to consider, among other things, the then-prevailing market price and trading volume of our Common Stock, our ability to satisfy Nasdaq listing standards after the Reverse Stock Split, general market and economic conditions, the number of holders of our Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split, and the anticipated impact of the selected ratio on stockholder value and marketability.
Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
Reduction in outstanding shares. If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock will be reduced in accordance with the selected ratio. Except for the rounding up of fractional shares described below, the Reverse Stock Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company or proportionate voting power.
Authorized shares. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged at 350,000,000 shares. As a result, the Reverse Stock Split will effectively increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for future issuance.
9
Par value; listing symbol; CUSIP. The par value of our Common Stock will remain $0.0001 per share after the Reverse Stock Split. We expect our Common Stock to continue trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “LNAI,” although a new CUSIP number would be assigned to the Common Stock following the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split.
Equity awards, warrants and other convertible securities. Proportionate adjustments will be made, as appropriate and in accordance with the terms of the applicable instruments, to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, vesting, conversion or exchange of our outstanding options, warrants, restricted stock units and other convertible or exercisable securities, as well as to the exercise or conversion prices thereof and to share reserves under our equity compensation plans.
Anti-takeover and dilution considerations. Because the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will not be reduced, the Reverse Stock Split will increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for issuance. Those additional shares could be used by us in future financings, strategic transactions, equity compensation arrangements or other corporate purposes. The availability of additional authorized shares also could, under certain circumstances, make a change in control of the Company more difficult or discourage attempts by third parties to acquire control of the Company.
Current plans for authorized but unissued shares. Other than as described in this proxy statement, the Board has no current plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any of the additional authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that would become available as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. However, the Board reserves the right, consistent with its fiduciary duties, to use such shares in the future for any proper corporate purpose, including but not limited to future financings, strategic transactions, equity compensation arrangements or other purposes, without additional stockholder approval except as may be required by applicable law or Nasdaq rules.
No going-private transaction. The Board has no present intent to effect a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Reverse Stock Split is not being proposed as the first step in any such transaction.
Illustrative Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
The following table shows, for illustrative purposes only, the approximate effect of the Reverse Stock Split on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock based on 36,271,119 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date and a closing price of $0.37. The actual number of post-split shares outstanding will depend on the closing price prior to the reverse split, ratio selected by the Board and the treatment of fractional shares.
| Reverse Stock Split Ratio | Approximate Shares Outstanding After Split (1) | Illustrative Per-Share Price based on April 10, 2026 Closing Price of $0.37 | ||||||
| Current | 36,271,119 | $ | 0.37 | |||||
| 1-for-3 | 12,090,373 | $ | 1.11 | |||||
| 1-for-30 | 1,209,037 | $ | 11.10 | |||||
(1) Excludes the effect of rounding up fractional shares.
Treatment of Fractional Shares
No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise result from the Reverse Stock Split will be automatically rounded up to the next whole share of Common Stock. Accordingly, no stockholder will receive a fractional share, and no cash payment will be made in respect of any fractional share interest.
Registered stockholders holding shares in book-entry form will receive information from our transfer agent regarding their post-split holdings. Beneficial owners holding shares through a bank, broker or other nominee will have their positions adjusted in accordance with the nominee’s procedures. The rounding up of fractional shares will result in a slight increase in the number of outstanding shares beyond the number that would result from a strict mathematical application of the Reverse Stock Split ratio. The Company believes that rounding up fractional shares simplifies administration and avoids cash payments, and any resulting dilution is expected to be immaterial.
10
Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split
● The Reverse Stock Split may not increase the price of our Common Stock in proportion to the reduction in the number of outstanding shares, or at all.
● Even if the Reverse Stock Split initially increases the market price of our Common Stock, the market price may decline thereafter, and we may remain unable to satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.
● The Reverse Stock Split may reduce the liquidity of our Common Stock because fewer shares will be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the market price does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
● The effective increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock could be dilutive to existing stockholders if those shares are issued in the future.
Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to U.S. holders that hold their shares of Common Stock as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not address all holders or all tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular holder, nor does it address any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences.
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to qualify as a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a U.S. holder generally should not recognize gain or loss upon the Reverse Stock Split. Because fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole share rather than cashed out, no taxable event is expected to arise from the treatment of fractional shares. A U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split generally should equal the aggregate tax basis of the shares of Common Stock surrendered, and the holding period for the post-split shares generally should include the holding period for the pre-split shares surrendered. The tax basis of any additional fractional share received as a result of rounding up will be zero.
Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split in light of their particular circumstances.
Vote Required
Under Section 242(d)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), Proposal 1 will be approved if, at a meeting duly called and held, the votes cast FOR Proposal 1 exceed the votes cast AGAINST Proposal 1, provided that two conditions are satisfied at the time the Certificate of Amendment becomes effective: (i) the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange immediately before the amendment becomes effective, and (ii) the Company meets the applicable listing standard of such national securities exchange relating to the minimum number of holders immediately after the amendment becomes effective. For purposes of Section 242(d)(2), the Company expects that the applicable Nasdaq requirement relates to the minimum number of public holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company will determine the applicable voting standard prior to filing the Certificate of Amendment and will not proceed with the Reverse Stock Split unless the applicable stockholder approval standard has been satisfied. The Company does not intend to rely on this voting standard and file the Certificate of Amendment unless it reasonably believes that the conditions of Section 242(d)(2) of the DGCL are satisfied at the time of effectiveness.
11
Important Note Regarding Voting Standard: As described under “Risk Factors” and “Background and Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split,” the Company is currently subject to a Nasdaq delisting determination, and the Nasdaq Hearings Panel hearing was held on March 26, 2026. If the Company’s Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq before the Certificate of Amendment becomes effective, the conditions of Section 242(d)(2) of the DGCL will not be satisfied, and the voting standard will default to Section 242(b)(1) of the DGCL, which requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote. Under that higher standard, abstentions and shares not voted (including broker non-votes, if any) would have the same effect as votes AGAINST Proposal 1. Stockholders should be aware that the applicable voting standard may depend on the Company’s listing status at the time the Board files the Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State.
Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on Proposal 1 because they are not treated as votes cast for purposes of the applicable vote standard.
Board Recommendation
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 1.
PROPOSAL 2 - ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
General
The Company is asking its stockholders to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve Proposal 1. If Proposal 2 is approved, the persons named as proxies may adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of Proposal 1.
If sufficient votes have been received to approve Proposal 1 at the time of the Special Meeting, the Company does not currently intend to seek approval to adjourn the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies.
Vote Required
Under Delaware law, Proposal 2 will be approved if the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal is obtained at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes AGAINST Proposal 2.
Board Recommendation
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2.
MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION
Our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “LNAI.” On April 10, 2026, the closing sale price of our Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq was $0.37 per share. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors the Board deems relevant.
12
In deciding how to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement, you should carefully consider the risks described in this proxy statement, including the risks discussed under “Proposal 1 - Reverse Stock Split Proposal.” You also should consider the risks described in our reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025.
The Reverse Stock Split may not achieve its intended objectives, including maintaining our Nasdaq listing, increasing the market price of our Common Stock or improving liquidity and marketability. In addition, because the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged, the Reverse Stock Split will increase the number of authorized but unissued shares available for future issuance, which could be dilutive to existing stockholders. Even if the Reverse Stock Split results in compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the Company may remain subject to delisting if it fails to satisfy other continued listing requirements, including stockholder distribution requirements, market value thresholds or Nasdaq’s discretionary authority under its qualitative listing standards. If the Company is delisted from Nasdaq, its Common Stock may trade on the over-the-counter market, which could adversely affect liquidity, market price and investor interest. Nasdaq also has broad discretionary authority to delist securities even if quantitative standards are met.
This proxy statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements generally may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding the proposed Reverse Stock Split, the anticipated effects of the Reverse Stock Split, our ability to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, the timing of the Reverse Stock Split, and our future plans and objectives.
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this proxy statement.
