Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
A special meeting of the stockholders of SCYNEXIS, Inc. (the “Company”) was held on May 19, 2026 (the “Special Meeting”). Proxies for the Special Meeting were solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and there was no solicitation in opposition to the Board of Directors’ solicitation. There were 79,442,633 shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and each share of common stock was entitled to one vote. A total of 51,638,303 shares of common stock were present at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy. Set forth below are the results of the matter submitted for a vote of stockholders of the Company at the Special Meeting.
Proposal 1: Approval of an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio ranging from any whole number between 1-for-5 and 1-for-10, with such ratio to be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, and decrease the number of authorized shares. The votes were cast as follows:

Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 19, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”), to effect a one-for-eight (1:8) reverse stock split of its common stock, effective as of May 29, 2026 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). A series of alternate amendments to effect the Reverse Stock Split and a reduction in the total number of authorized shares of the Company was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting, and the specific one-for-eight (1:8) ratio was subsequently approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 19, 2026.
The Amendment provides that at the effective time of the Amendment, every 8 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, and the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock will be reduced from 150,000,000 to 18,750,000, without any change in par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will effect a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted stock units and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment with a corresponding increase in the exercise price per share applicable to such stock options and warrants.
No fractional shares will be issued because of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all stockholders proportionately and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership of the Company’s common stock (except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any stockholder owning only a fractional share).
The Company’s common stock is scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on June 1, 2026 under the existing ticker symbol “SCYX”. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 811292 309. The par value per share of the common stock will remain unchanged at $0.001.
