On November 10, 2022, Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Change to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Certificate of Change”), which effected, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 11, 2022, a one-for-fifty (1:50) reverse stock

split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of both the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and authorized shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock will continue to be quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market, under the existing ticker symbol “KTRA". In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the CUSIP number for the Common Stock changed to 49720K200. The Common Stock will begin trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market when the market opens on November 14, 2022.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every fifty (50) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding was converted into one (1) share of Common Stock, with a proportionate 1:50 reduction in the Company’s authorized Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split would have resulted in some stockholders owning a fractional share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole post-Reverse Stock Split share and no stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the Common Stock. All outstanding securities entitling their holders to purchase shares of Common Stock or acquire shares of Common Stock, including preferred stock, stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants, were adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, as required by the terms of those securities.

No stockholder approval of the Reverse Stock Split was required under Nevada law, and on October 28, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and authorized the Reverse Stock Split, including the filing of the Certificate of Change.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Change is a summary of the material terms thereof, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Change, which is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
