Item 3.02 |
Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities. |
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by TuHURA Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2026, on April 21, 2026, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Parkview Holdings One LLC (“Parkview”), under which Parkview agreed to extend a $50 million revolving credit facility to the Company. In connection with the Loan Agreement, pursuant to a Fee Letter dated April 21, 2026 (the “Fee Letter”), the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 1,878,287 shares of Company common stock (the “Loan Fee Shares”) to Parkview, subject to stockholder approval. As disclosed under the heading “Proposal Two—Nasdaq Proposal” in Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of the Loan Fee Shares at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”). As a result of such stockholder approval, the Company will issue the Loan Fee Shares to Parkview.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the private placement of the Loan Fee Shares, as the Loan Fee Shares will be issued solely to an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in the Securities Act, and in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws.

Present at the 2026 Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, were holders of 43,034,024 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing at least one-third of the voting power of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting as of June 26, 2026, which constituted a quorum for the transaction of business.
