Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective September 10, 2025, MEI Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) changed its name to Lite Strategy, Inc. pursuant to an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Name Change”).
