Stockholders will NOT be able to attend the Annual Meeting in-person. The accompanying Proxy Statement includes instruction on how to access the virtual Annual Meeting and how to listen, vote, and submit questions from home or any remote location with Internet connectivity.

To elect eight (8) Directors to hold office until the next annual meeting and until their respective successors are elected and qualified (the “Board Election Proposal”);

To ratify the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP as BioVie’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2023 fiscal year (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”); and

To transact any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial owner; Shares held in account at brokerage, bank or other organization.

If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you are the “beneficial owner” of those shares and those shares are considered as held in “street name.” If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than directly from us. Simply complete and mail the proxy card as instructed by your broker, bank or other agent to ensure that your vote is counted. You may be eligible to vote your shares electronically over the Internet or by telephone depending on your broker, bank or other agent. A large number of banks and brokerage firms offer Internet and telephone voting. If your bank or brokerage firm does not offer Internet or telephone voting information, please complete and return your proxy card in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided. To vote in person at the virtual Annual Meeting, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent and then register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a legal proxy form.

After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to attend the Annual Meeting, you must submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of your shares along with your name and email address to West Coast Stock Transfer. Inc. Requests for registration should be directed to fbrickell@wcsti.com or to facsimile number (760)-452-4423. Written requests can be mailed to:

Who can help answer any other questions I might have?

If you have any questions concerning the virtual Annual Meeting (including accessing the meeting by virtual means) or would like additional copies of the Proxy Statement or need help voting your shares of the Company’s common stock, please contact our transfer agent:

West Coast Stock Transfer, Inc.

The Notice of Annual Meeting, 2022 Annual Report, Proxy Statement and form of Proxy Card are available at:

https://www.westcoaststocktransfer.com/proxy-bivi/

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on October 3, 2022 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were shares of BioVie’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

If on October 3, 2022 your shares were registered directly in your name with BioVie’s transfer agent,West Coast Stock Transfer, Inc., then you are the “stockholder of record.” Whether or not you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card or vote via the Internet or by telephone to ensure your vote is counted.

If on October 3, 2022 your shares were held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other similar organization, then you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares. These proxy materials have been forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other agent how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to participate in the Annual Meeting. However, because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares online at the virtual Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent.

What am I voting on?

There are two matters scheduled for a vote:

To elect eight (8) Directors to hold office until the next annual meeting and until their respective successors are elected and qualified (the “Board Election Proposal”);

To ratify the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP as BioVie’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2023 fiscal year (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”); and

To transact any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.

What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?

If your card does not indicate your voting preferences, the persons named in the proxy card will vote the shares represented by your proxy card as recommended by the Board of Directors, unless your shares are held in street name and you fail to provide your broker, bank or other agent, as applicable, with voting instructions on proposal 1, in which case your shares will be voted as “broker non-votes” on such proposal as described below. BioVie does not expect that any matters other than the election of Directors and the other proposals described herein will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using their best judgment.

What can I do if I change my mind after I vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, you can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting by:

●

giving written notice that you are revoking your proxy to the Secretary, BioVie Inc., 680 W Nye Lane, Suite 201, Carson City, NV 89703;

●

delivering a properly completed proxy card with a later date, or vote by telephone or on the Internet at a later date (we will vote your shares as directed in the last instructions properly received from you prior to the Annual Meeting); or

●

attending and voting online at the virtual Annual Meeting (note, simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy).

If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or other agent that is the holder of record and following its instructions.

Please note that to be effective, your new proxy card, internet or telephonic voting instructions or written notice of revocation must be received by the Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting and, in the case of internet or telephonic voting instructions, must be received before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 8, 2022.

What shares are included on the proxy card?

If you are a stockholder of record, you will receive only one proxy card for all the shares you hold of record in certificate and book-entry form. If you are a beneficial owner, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other agent that is the holder of record.

Is there a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The names of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available ten days prior to the Annual Meeting for any purpose relevant to the Annual Meeting, by contacting the Secretary of BioVie Inc.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count “For” and “Against” votes, and broker non-votes.

What is a broker non-vote?

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, you must instruct the broker how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is called a “broker non-vote.” In these cases, the broker can register your shares as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be able to vote on those matters for which specific authorization is required.

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, your broker has discretionary voting authority to vote your shares on Proposal No. 2, the Auditor Ratification Proposal, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. However, your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on Proposal No. 1, the Board Election Proposal. Accordingly, it is important that beneficial owners instruct their brokers how they wish to vote their shares.

What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid Annual Meeting. A quorum will be present if the holders of majority of the outstanding shares are represented by proxy or by stockholders present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 30,165,319 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, 15,082,660 shares must be represented by proxy or by stockholders present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

If there is no quorum, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or date.

How many votes are required to approve each proposal?

Proposal

Vote Required

Broker Discretionary

Voting Allowed?

Proposal No. 1 -- Board Election Proposal

Plurality of votes cast

Proposal No. 2 – Auditor Ratification Proposal

Majority of votes cast

Yes

If you abstain from voting or there is a broker non-vote on any matter, your abstention or broker non-vote will not affect the outcome of such vote, because abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast under our Amended and Restated Bylaws or under the laws of Nevada (our state of incorporation).

Proposal No. 1 - Board Election Proposal; plurality vote

Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast. This means that Directors who receive the most “For” votes are elected. There is no “Against” option and votes that are “withheld” or not cast, including broker non-votes, are not counted as votes “For” or “Against.” If a Director nominee receives a plurality of votes but does not, however, receive a majority of votes, that fact will be considered by the Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board in any future decision on Director Nominations.

Proposal No. 2 - Auditor Ratification Proposal; majority vote

The votes cast “For” must exceed the votes cast “Against” to approve the Auditor Ratification Proposal. Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and accordingly, will not have an effect on this Proposal No. 2.

How will my shares be voted at the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will vote your shares as you instruct. If you sign your proxy card and return it without indicating how you would like to vote your shares, your proxy will be voted as the Board of Directors recommends, unless your votes constitute broker non-votes, which is:

●

FOR the election of each of the Director nominees named in this Proxy Statement;

●

FOR the ratification of the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2023 fiscal year;

Do I have cumulative voting rights?

No, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.

Am I entitled to dissenter rights or appraisal rights?

No, our stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights under the Nevada General Corporation Law for the matters being submitted to stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

At the date of this Proxy Statement, we did not know of any matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than the items described in this Proxy Statement. If any other business is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy card grants authority to the proxy holders to vote on such matters in their discretion.

Can I access the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and the 2022 Annual Report via the Internet?

Yes, this Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement and the 2022 Annual Report are available on our website at www.bioviepharma.com. Instead of receiving future proxy statements and accompanying materials by mail, most stockholders can elect to receive an e-mail that will provide electronic links to them. Opting to receive your proxy materials online will save us the cost of producing documents and mailing them to your home or business, and also gives you an electronic link to the proxy voting site.

Stockholders of Record: You may enroll in the electronic proxy delivery service at any time by accessing your stockholder account at www.amstock.com and following the enrollment instructions.

Beneficial Owners: You also may be able to receive copies of these documents electronically. Please check the information provided in the proxy materials sent to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record regarding the availability of this service.

Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

BioVie will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by directors, officers or employees in person or by telephone, electronic transmission and facsimile transmission or by other means of communication. Directors, officers or employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Nominees

We currently have a Board consisting of eight directors. There are eight (8) nominees for director to be voted on at the 2022 Annual Meeting. All of the nominees are current Directors and have consented to serve as Directors. Each Director to be elected will hold office until the next annual meeting and until his or her respective successor is elected and qualified. If any of the nominees declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a vacancy occurs before the election (although we know of no reason to anticipate that this will occur), the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominees as we may designate. Should a nominee become unable to serve or should a vacancy on the Board occur before the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Board may either reduce its size or designate a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is named, your shares will be voted for the election of the substitute nominee designated by the Board, unless your shares are treated as a broker non-vote. In the vote on the election of the Director nominees, stockholders may vote “FOR” nominees or “WITHHOLD” votes from nominees. The eight (8) Director nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected as Directors. Votes that are withheld, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

The persons appointed by the Board as proxies intend to vote for the election of each of the below director nominees, unless you indicate otherwise on the proxy or voting instruction card or if your vote is treated as a broker non-vote. Set forth below is biographical and other information about the Director nominees. Following each nominee’s biographical information, we have provided information concerning the particular experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills that led the Nominations and Governance Committee and the Board to determine that each nominee should serve as a Director.

Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the nominees named below.

Plurality Voting

Under Nevada law and BioVie’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, a vote by a plurality of the shares voting is required for the election of Directors. Under plurality voting, nominees who receive the most “For” votes are elected; there is no “Against” option and votes that are “withheld” or not cast are disregarded in the count. If a nominee receives a plurality of votes but does not, however, receive a majority of votes, that fact will be considered by the Compensation and Nominating Committee in any future decision on nominations.

YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”

THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THESE NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS.

Role and Composition of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors, which is elected by the stockholders, is the ultimate decision-making body of the Company, except with respect to those matters reserved to the stockholders. It selects the President and Chief Executive Officer, or person or persons performing similar functions, and other members of the senior management team, and provides an oversight function for the President and Chief Executive Officer’s execution of overall business strategy and objectives. The Board acts as an advisor and counselor to senior management and validates business strategy and direction. The Board’s primary function is to monitor the performance of senior management and facilitate growth and success by providing mentoring and actionable business advice honed by substantial substantive knowledge of the Company’s business and history tempered with significant outside business experience.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws state that the number of Directors shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders and each director shall be elected to serve until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify. In all elections for Directors, every stockholder shall have the right to vote the number of shares owned by such stockholders for each director to be elected. A director or the entire Board, may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at the election of directors. Vacancies in the Board may be filled by a majority of the Directors or by an election either at an annual meeting or at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose. Any directors elected by the stockholders to fill the vacancy shall hold office for the balance of the term for which he or she was elected. A director appointed by the Board to fill the vacancy shall serve until the next meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected.

A director need not be a stockholder. Directors shall not receive any stated salary for their services as directors or as members of committees, but by resolution of the Board of Directors a fixed fee and expenses of attendance may be allowed for attendance at each meeting. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws shall not be construed to preclude any director from serving the Company in any other capacity as an officer, agent or otherwise, and receiving compensation therefor.

There are no familial relationships among any of our directors or officers. Except as described under “The Nominees” above or “Executive Officers” below, none of our other directors or officers is or has been a director or has held any form of directorship in any other U.S. reporting companies. None of our directors or officers has been affiliated with any Company that has filed for bankruptcy within the last five years. We are not aware of any proceedings to which any of our officers or directors, or any associate of any such officer or director, is a party that are adverse to the Company. We are also not aware of any material interest of any of our officers or directors that is adverse to our own interests.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics meeting the requirements of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We believe our code of conduct and ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the provisions of the code of ethic.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Board of Directors has determined that six of the members of the Board of Directors qualify as “independent,” as defined by the listing standards of the Nasdaq. Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions and relationships between each director, or any of the director’s family members, and the Company, its senior management and its independent auditors, the Board has determined further that Messrs. Lang, Sherman, Berman, Gorlin, Hariri and Rogich are independent under the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making this determination, the Board of Directors considered that there were no new transactions or relationships between its current independent directors and the Company, its senior management and its independent auditors since last making this determination.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The following includes a summary of transactions since June 30, 2021, to which we have been a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of (i) $120,000 and (ii) one percent (1%) of the average of our total assets at year-end for the prior two fiscal years, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial owners of more than 5% of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

On July 15, 2022, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Acuitas, pursuant to which Acuitas agreed to purchase from the Company, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), (i) an aggregate of 3,636,364 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share at a price of $1.65 per share, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 7,272,728 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.82, with a term of exercise of five years; (collectively, the “Securities”). The aggregate purchase price for the Securities sold in the Private Placement was $6 million. The Private Placement closed on August 15, 2022.

Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons

Either the audit committee or the Board of Directors approves all related party transactions. The procedure for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions involves discussing the proposed transaction with management, discussing the proposed transaction with the external auditors, reviewing financial statements and related disclosures, and reviewing the details of major deals and transactions to ensure that they do not involve related party transactions. Members of management have been informed and understand that they are to bring related party transactions to the audit committee or the Board of Directors for pre-approval. These policies and procedures are evidenced in the audit committee charter and our code of ethics.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

As more fully described in its Charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of BioVie’s corporate accounting and financial reporting process and interacts directly with and evaluates the performance of BioVie’s independent registered public accounting firm.

In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has reviewed BioVie’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022 and has met with both management and BioVie’s independent registered public accounting firm, EisnerAmper LLP (“EisnerAmper”), to discuss those consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee has discussed with EisnerAmper those matters related to the conduct of the audit that are required to be communicated by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Audit Committee under Auditing Standard 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), including EisnerAmper’s judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of BioVie’s accounting principles. In addition, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the assessment of the effectiveness of BioVie’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee discussed with BioVie’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for its audit. The Audit Committee met separately with the independent registered public accounting firm, without management present, to discuss the results of its audit, BioVie’s internal controls and the overall quality of BioVie’s financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has received from EisnerAmper the required written disclosures and letter regarding its independence from BioVie as required by the PCAOB Rule 3526, and has discussed with EisnerAmper its independence.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors approved, that the audited financial statements of BioVie for the year ended June 30, 2022 be included in BioVie’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2022.

It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct audits, to independently verify management’s representations or to determine that BioVie’s financial statements are complete and accurate, prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles or fairly present the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of BioVie. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm retained by the Audit Committee is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements, and for reporting the results of their audit to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews and monitors these processes. In giving its recommendation to the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee has expressly relied on (i) management’s representation that such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and (ii) the report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, with respect to such financial statements.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-audit Services of Independent Public Accountant

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Prior to engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm for the next year’s audit, management will submit an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services to the Audit Committee for approval.

Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only an independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by an independent registered public accounting firm, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

Tax services include all services performed by an independent registered public accounting firm’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories. The Company generally does not request such services from our independent registered public accounting firm.

Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires our independent registered public accounting firm and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage our independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging our independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”

THE RATIFICATION OF EISNERAMPER LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS OR NOMINATIONS TO BE PRESENTED AT

NEXT ANNUAL MEETING

Stockholders may submit proposals on matters appropriate for stockholder action at the 2023 annual meeting of our stockholders (“2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders”) consistent with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). To be considered for inclusion in proxy materials for our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a stockholder proposal must be submitted in writing no later than June 12, 2023 (120 days prior to the anniversary of this year’s mailing date), to our Corporate Secretary, c/o BioVie Inc., 680 W Nye Lane, Suite 201, Carson City, NV 89703. If you wish to submit a proposal that is not to be included in the proxy materials for our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, your proposal generally must be submitted in writing to the same address no earlier than June 12, 2023, but no later than July 12, 2023. However, if the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is convened more than 30 days before, or delayed by more than 30 days after November 9, 2023, to be considered for inclusion in proxy materials for our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a stockholder proposal must be submitted in writing to our Corporate Secretary, c/o BioVie Inc., 680 W Nye Lane, Suite 201, Carson City, NV 89703 in a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. You may view our Amended and Restated Bylaws by visiting the SEC’s internet website at www.sec.gov.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are BioVie stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single annual report and proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, or, if you share an address with another Company stockholder and are receiving multiple copies of annual reports and proxy statements but only wish to receive a single copy of such materials, you may:

●

if you are a stockholder of record, direct your written request to our transfer agent, West Coast Stock Transfer, Inc. (in writing: Attn: Frank Brickell, 721 N. Vulcan Ave. 1st FL, Encinitas, CA 92024.; or by telephone: in the United States, (619)-664-4780); or

●

if you are not a stockholder of record, notify your broker.

BioVie will promptly deliver, upon request, a separate copy of the annual report and proxy statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered. If you currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at your address and would like to request “householding” of these communications, please contact your broker if you are not a stockholder of record; or contact our transfer agent if you are a stockholder of record, using the contact information provided above.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment, pursuant to the discretionary authority granted by the proxy.
