Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.

Palatin Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) has established December 12, 2024 as the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (the “Annual Meeting”), and October 28, 2024 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. The time, place, and detailed information regarding the proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting will be set forth in a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Because the date of the Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 held on June 27, 2024, the deadline for submission of proposals by stockholders for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), will be October 21, 2024, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting.

In addition, in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, any stockholder who intends to nominate a person for election as a director or submit a proposal for inclusion at the Company’s Annual Meeting must provide notice on or before the close of business on September 13, 2024. Such notice must comply with the specific requirements set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws in order to be considered at the Annual Meeting. Any such proposal shall be marked for the attention of the Secretary and mailed to our executive offices, 4B Cedar Brook Drive, Cranbury, NJ 08512.
