As described under Proposal 2 of Item 5.07 of this Current Report, on June 30, 2023, the stockholders of Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) voted at the Company’s reconvened 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which was adjourned on May 8, 2023, May 25, 2023 and June 15, 2023, to approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) from 5,500,000 to 75,000,000 shares. The Articles of Incorporation were amended by deleting Article 2 thereof in its entirety and inserting the following:
NUMBER OF SHARES WITH PAR VALUE:
75,000,000 COMMON - $0.001 PAR VALUE
