TuHURA Biosciences, Inc. (HURA) Earnings Call Transcript & Summary

Hello, and welcome to the 2026 TuHURA Biosciences, Inc. Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Please note that this meeting is being recorded. [Operator Instructions] Your meeting is now going to begin.

Good morning, I am Dr. Jim Bianco, I'm the President and CEO of TuHURA Biosciences. I'd like to welcome each of you to our 2026 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders being held this year virtually by remote communication. I will serve as Chairman and Secretary of this annual meeting. It is now 9:01 a.m. Eastern Time, and the polls are open. Please note that the polls will close in several minutes. So we urge you to vote your shares now if you have not already submitted a proxy or otherwise voted. If you have already submitted your proxy, then you do not need to vote again. As secretary of the meeting, I will include with the minutes of this meeting a copy of the affidavit of distribution, certified list of stockholders, a notice of meeting and the proxy statement, which we refer to as the proxy materials. The notice of meeting and proxy statement were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 2026, and mailed to stockholders on or about July 9, 2026. The proxy statement describes the record date for this meeting and the number of eligible votes of common stock outstanding on that date. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at this annual meeting has been available at TuHURA's headquarters since July 29, 2026, and will remain available throughout this meeting for examination by any stockholder desiring to do so. Prior to the meeting, I appointed [Maritza Merced] as the Inspector of Election, and she has taken the appropriate oath. At this moment, I will call the formal portion of our meeting to order. Will the Inspector of Elections please report on the existence of a quorum.

The Board of Directors selected June 26, 2026, as the record date for the annual meeting. On the record date, there were 63,682,528 shares of common stock of TuHURA outstanding. Proxies representing at least 1/3 of the voting power of TuHURA's issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting have been received. Accordingly, a quorum is present.

Since a quorum is present, we may now proceed to do the business of the meeting. Following the presentation of the proposals and a brief question-and-answer session, if our stockholders have any questions specifically regarding the proposals, we will declare the polls closed and ask the Inspector of Election to provide a preliminary voting tally. The final results will be reported by TuHURA in a current report on a Form 8-K within 4 business days. So the first proposal before the stockholders of TuHURA is the election of 6 directors to serve until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2027 and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. The Board has nominated and recommends the election of the following persons as directors of the company: James Bianco, James Manuso, Alan List, George Ng, Robert Hoffman and Craig Tendler. I'll refer to this proposal as the director nomination proposal. The second proposal relates to the vote to approve in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), the issuance of 1,878,287 shares of common stock issuable to Parkview Holdings One LLC, an affiliate of our largest shareholder, Mr. Vijay Patel, pursuant to the terms of our revolving credit facility with Parkview entered into in April 2026. I will refer to this proposal as the NASDAQ proposal. The third proposal relates to a vote to approve, on an advisory nonbinding basis, the compensation of TuHURA's named executive officers. I will refer to this proposal as the executive compensation proposal. Fourth proposal relates to a vote to approve, on an advisory nonbinding basis, the frequency of future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. I refer to this proposal as the say-on-frequency proposal. Fifth proposal relates to ratifying the appointment of Cherry Bekaert LLP as TuHURA's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. I'll refer to this proposal as the auditor ratification proposal. The sixth proposal relates to a vote to adjourn this annual meeting to a later date or time, if necessary, and I'll refer to this proposal as the adjournment proposal. I will now entertain and review any questions that stockholders have submitted through our online portal, relating specifically to the proposals, if any.

Jim, there are no questions.
