On October 23, 2024, Pyxis Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) held its Special Meeting of Stockholders at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time in a virtual format via live audio webcast (the “Special Meeting”). The Company set September 9, 2024, as the record date for the Special Meeting and there were a total of 59,422,945 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. At the beginning of the Special Meeting, 36,189,305 shares of common stock were present virtually, in person or by proxy, and, therefore, a quorum was present.

At the Special Meeting, the stockholders' voted and approved the amendment to the 2021 Equity and Incentive Plan to increase the available shares by 5,500,000 shares and the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary, in the reasonable discretion of the Chairperson of the Board, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Plan Amendment.

The final results of the stockholders' votes at the Special Meeting are set forth below:
