Group of Cytodyn Stockholders Nominates Five Highly Qualified Director Candidates to Replace Board Responsible for Mismanagement and Value Destruction

Change Desperately Needed to Reverse Operational Failures, Underperformance, and Realize Significant Value Potential of Company’s Leronlimab Drug

Sends Letter to Stockholders Urging Support of Nominees With Deeply Relevant Experience and Critical Independent Perspectives

A group of long-time stockholders (the “Nominating Stockholders”) of CytoDyn Inc. (“CYDY or the “Company) (OTC: CYDY) today announced that it has sent a notice to CYDY nominating five highly experienced director candidates – Thomas Errico, MD, Bruce Patterson, MD, Paul Rosenbaum, Peter Staats, MD and Melissa Yaeger – to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.

In the letter to stockholders, the Committee highlights the numerous ill-advised actions taken by CYDY’s current leadership, which has overseen many value-destructive failures involving the Company’s Leronlimab drug, while manipulating its corporate machinery to further entrench the Board and disenfranchise investors. The letter emphasizes that if elected, the nominees would recruit a new management team to replace the current one that is responsible for these failures, and take the steps necessary to earn FDA approval for Leronlimab and enhance long-term value for all stockholders.

The full text of the Nominating Stockholders’ letter to CYDY stockholders can be accessed at: www.advancingll.com/letter.

The Nominating Stockholders have launched a website at www.advancingll.com that includes information about the nominees and the group’s platform. It will be continuously updated with additional information.
