Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In late June, 2011, Allen D. Allen, who is 75, informed CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) that he was contemplating retiring from the Company as its Chief Technical Officer and also resigning from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and as the Chairman of the Board. Mr. Allen has been a long-time valuable member of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company believed it would benefit from Mr. Allen continuing in some capacity with the Company as set forth below. Mr. Allen resigned as an officer and director effective July 14, 2011. Ken Van Ness, President, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of the Company, expressed the thanks of the Company, saying, “We are grateful to Mr. Allen for his years of service to the Company and he is an important component of the Company’s history.”

In connection with Mr. Allen’s retirement and resignation, the Company and Mr. Allen entered into a consulting agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement has a two year term and will require the Company to pay Mr. Allen $150,000 in the first 12 month period of the Agreement and $125,000 in the second twelve month period of the Agreement in exchange for certain consulting services Mr. Allen will provide to the Company. The foregoing summary of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which has been attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
