You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting via live webcast by visiting http://www.viewproxy.com/kintara/2021/vm. To be sure your vote is counted and assure a quorum is present, it is important that you vote your shares regardless of the number of shares you own. The Board of Directors urges you to vote over the Internet by going to http://www.viewproxy.com/kintara/2021 or by telephone by calling (855) 600-2576 or to sign, date and mark the proxy card promptly and return it to Kintara. Voting over the Internet or by telephone or by returning the proxy card will not prevent you from voting at the virtual Annual Meeting. Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, we are providing access to our proxy materials both by sending you this full set of proxy materials, and by notifying you of the availability of our proxy materials on the Internet.

THE MEETING

General

Kintara Therapeutics, Inc., or Kintara, is a Nevada corporation. As used in this proxy statement, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Kintara. The term “Annual Meeting” as used in this proxy statement refers to the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and includes any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.

Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules, we are providing access to our proxy materials both by sending you this full set of proxy materials, and by notifying you of the availability of our proxy materials online at http://www.viewproxy.com/kintara/2021, where you can access our Proxy Statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting, our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and proxy card. In addition, our proxy materials provide instructions on how you may request to receive, at no charge, all future proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email. Your election to receive proxy materials by mail or email will remain in effect until you revoke it. Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to stockholders and will reduce the impact of our annual meetings on the environment.

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement summarizes the information you will need to know to cast an informed vote at the Annual Meeting. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. You may simply complete, sign and return the proxy card and your votes will be cast for you at the Annual Meeting or you may vote online at http://www.viewproxy.com/kintara/2021. This process is described below in the section entitled “Voting Rights.”

This proxy statement and the Notice of Annual Meeting are dated May 7, 2021. If you owned shares of common stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock of Kintara at the close of business on April 27, 2021, the “Record Date”, you are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, as set out below. On the Record Date, there were 32,379,260 shares of common stock, 601,488 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 20,192 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of Kintara outstanding.

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock was converted into 0.25 shares of common stock on April 29, 2021 and so is entitled to vote 0.25 shares with the common stock on an as-converted basis. As of the Record Date, we had outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock that were convertible into 150,392 shares of common stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock based on the respective conversion prices and is entitled to vote with the common stock on an as-converted basis. The conversion prices for the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series C-3 Preferred Stock are $1.16, $1.214 and $1.15, respectively. As of the Record Date, we had outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock that were convertible into an aggregate of 17,381,549 shares of common stock. The principal Series C holder (the “Series C Holder”) is subject to a 4.99% blocker which restricts the voting power of the Series C Holder to the blocker amount. As such, shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by the Series C Holder that were convertible into an aggregate of 1,831,067 shares of common stock are ineligible to vote and do not count as outstanding for purposes of the Annual Meeting. As a result, in the aggregate, as of the Record Date, there were 48,080,134 shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Due to the public health impact of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and to support the health and well-being of our stockholders, this year’s Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. The Annual Meeting will convene on June 25, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern time. In order to participate in the Annual Meeting live via the Internet, you must register at http://www.viewproxy.com/kintara/2021/vm by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time by June 23, 2021. If you are a registered holder, you must register using the virtual control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials). If you hold your shares beneficially through a bank or broker, you must provide a legal proxy from your bank or broker during registration and you will be assigned a virtual control number in order to vote your shares during the Annual Meeting. If you are unable to obtain a legal proxy to vote your shares, you will still be able to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting (but will not be able to vote your shares) so long as you demonstrate proof of stock ownership. Instructions on how to connect and participate via the Internet, including how to demonstrate proof of stock ownership, are posted at http://www.viewproxy.com/kintara/2021.

On the day of the Annual Meeting, if you have properly registered, you may enter the Annual Meeting by logging in using the event password you received via email in your registration confirmation at http://www.viewproxy.com/kintara/2021/vm.

The Annual Meeting can be accessed by visiting http://www.viewproxy.com/kintara/2021/vm, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live, submit questions and vote online. You will need the virtual control number. As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live question and answer session, during which we intend to answer questions submitted in writing during the meeting in accordance with the Annual Meeting procedures which are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, as time permits. Questions and answers will be grouped by topic and substantially similar questions will be grouped and answered once.

If you encounter any difficulties accessing the Annual Meeting live audio webcast during the meeting time, please email VirtualMeeting@viewproxy.com or call (866) 612-8937.

Even if you plan to attend the live webcast of the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote in advance by Internet, telephone or mail so that your vote will be counted even if you later decide not to attend the virtual Annual Meeting.

Purpose Of Annual Meeting

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to vote:

• to elect six directors to the Board of Directors to hold office for the following year until their successors are elected;

• to approve an amendment to Kintara’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 95,000,000 shares to 175,000,000 shares;

• to transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Quorum

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The holders of at least 33.3% of the outstanding voting power of the shares of common stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as of the Record Date, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Kintara will include proxies marked as abstentions and broker non-votes to determine the number of shares present at the Kintara special meeting.

Voting Rights

Holders of Kintara’s common stock are entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting for each share of the common stock that he or she owned as of the Record Date.

Holders of Kintara’s Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the common stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into 0.25 shares of common stock, and accordingly holders are entitled to 0.25 votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock owned as of the Record Date. The conversion prices for the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series C-3 Preferred Stock are $1.16, $1.214 and $1.15, respectively. Each share of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series C-3 Preferred Stock was convertible into 14,279,358 shares, 945,652 shares, and 2,156,539 shares, respectively, of common stock as of the Record Date, based on the $1,000 per share stated value and is entitled to the same number of votes per share. The Series C Holder is subject to a 4.99% blocker which restricts

the voting power of the Series C Holder to the blocker amount. As such, shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by the Series C Holder that were convertible into an aggregate of 1,831,067 shares of common stock are ineligible to vote and do not count as outstanding for purposes of the Annual Meeting.

You may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting via live webcast, over the Internet or by proxy. If you wish to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting, there will be a live link provided during the Annual Meeting (you will need the virtual control number assigned to you).

To vote over the Internet, you must go to http://www.viewproxy.com/kintara/2021. To vote by proxy, complete, sign and return the proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you properly complete your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote, your “proxy” (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares FOR the Board’s nominees for director; FOR the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares authorized hereunder; FOR the advisory vote on executive compensation; FOR the increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan; and FOR the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm and, in the discretion of the proxy holders, on any other matters that properly come before the meeting. If any other matter is presented, your proxy will vote your shares as a majority of the Board determines. As of the date of this proxy statement, we know of no other matters that may be presented at the Annual Meeting, other than those listed in the Notice of the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you should vote your shares in accordance with the steps required by such bank, brokerage firm or other nominee.

Vote Required

Assuming that a quorum is present, the following votes will be required to approve each proposal:

With respect to the first proposal (election of directors), directors are elected by a plurality of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. The director nominees who receive the greatest number of votes at the Annual Meeting (up to the total number of directors to be elected) will be elected. As a result, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (see below), if any, will not affect the outcome of the vote on Proposal 1. Consequently, only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward such nominee’s achievement of a plurality. You may not vote your shares cumulatively for the election of directors.

With respect to the second proposal to approve an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 95,000,000 to 175,000,000, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of our shares of common stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock that are entitled to vote, voting together as a single class is required to approve Proposal 2. Accordingly, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (see below), if any, will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 2.

With respect to the third proposal to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation; the fourth proposal to approve an amendment to our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 6,700,000 to 13,000,000; and the fifth proposal to ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as well as the approval of any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of all of the votes cast, is required to approve these proposals. As a result, abstentions, broker non-votes, if any, and any other failure to submit a proxy or vote in person at the meeting, will not affect the outcome of the vote of Proposals 3, 4 and 5.

You will not have any dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with any of the matters to be voted on at the meeting.

The Board has determined that a vote in favor of the foregoing proposals is in the best interests of Kintara and its stockholders and unanimously recommends a vote FOR the Board’s nominees for director, FOR the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder; FOR the advisory vote on executive compensation; FOR the increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan; and FOR the ratification of the

appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm and, in the discretion of the proxy holders, on any other matters that properly come before the meeting.

The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the meeting, but if other matters are properly brought before the meeting, shares represented by properly completed proxies received by mail, telephone or the Internet will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons named as proxies.

Broker Non-Votes

Banks and brokers acting as nominees are permitted to use discretionary voting authority to vote proxies for proposals that are deemed “routine” by the New York Stock Exchange (the exchange that makes such determinations), but are not permitted to use discretionary voting authority to vote proxies for proposals that are deemed “non-routine” by the New York Stock Exchange. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a proposal is deemed “non-routine” and a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not have discretionary voting authority with respect to the matter being considered and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. The determination of which proposals are deemed “routine” versus “non-routine” may not be made by the New York Stock Exchange until after the date on which this proxy statement has been mailed to you. As such, it is important that you provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, if you wish to determine the voting of your shares.

Changing Your Vote after Voting over the Internet or Revoking Your Proxy

You may change your vote by attending the Annual Meeting and voting online even if you previously voted over the Internet. Alternatively, you may change your vote by contacting Alliance Advisors by phone at (855) 600-2576, or re-voting over the Internet following the instructions provided.

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by:

• filing with our Secretary, a letter revoking the proxy;

• submitting another signed proxy with a later date; or

• attending the Annual Meeting and voting online, provided you file a written revocation with the Secretary of the Annual Meeting prior to the voting of such proxy.

If your shares are not registered in your own name, you will need appropriate documentation from your stockholder of record to vote at the Annual Meeting. Examples of such documentation include a broker’s statement, letter or other document that will confirm your ownership of shares of Kintara.

Solicitation of Proxies

Kintara will pay the costs of soliciting proxies from its stockholders, directors, officers or employees of Kintara may solicit proxies by mail, telephone or other forms of communication. We will also reimburse banks, brokers, nominees and other fiduciaries for the expenses they incur in forwarding the proxy materials to you.

Kintara has also retained Alliance Advisors LLC to assist it in the solicitation of proxies. Alliance Advisors LLC will solicit proxies on behalf of Kintara from individuals, brokers, bank nominees and other institutional holders in the same manner described above. The fees that will be paid to Alliance Advisors LLC are anticipated to be approximately $12,000, and we will reimburse their out-of-pocket expenses. Kintara has also agreed to indemnify Alliance Advisors against certain claims.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

_____________________

Our Board is currently composed of six directors. Vacancies on the Board may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors or by the sole remaining director. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy, including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors, shall serve for the remainder of the full term of that director for which the vacancy was created and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified.

Each of the six nominees listed below are incumbent directors. If elected at the Annual Meeting, each of these nominees would serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or, if sooner, until the director’s death, resignation or removal.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as a vote for or against any particular director nominee and will not affect the outcome of the election. Stockholders may not vote, or submit a proxy, for a greater number of nominees than the six nominees named below. The director nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the six director nominees named below. If any director nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, shares that would have been voted for that nominee will instead be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by our Board. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected. Our management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

Nominees for Election Until the Next Annual Meeting

The following table sets forth the name, age, position and tenure of each of the nominees at the 2021 Annual Meeting:

Name	Age	Position(s) Held With Kintara	Director Since

Robert J. Toth, Jr.	57	Director	2013
Laura Johnson	56	Director	2020
Keith Murphy	49	Director	2020
Tamara A. Seymour	62	Director	2021

Related Party Transactions

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we did not have any reportable related party transactions.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors Operations and Meetings

Our Board currently consists of six members. Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified or until the earlier of their resignation or removal.

We have no formal policy regarding board diversity. Our priority in selection of board members is identification of members who will further the interests of our stockholders through their established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among board members, knowledge of our business and understanding of the competitive landscape.

Our Board met 17 times in fiscal 2020. Each of the directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our Board (held during the period for which such directors served on the Board), and (ii) the total number of meetings of all committees of our Board on which the director served (during the periods for which the director served on such committee or committees).

The Board oversees our business and monitors the performance of our management. In accordance with our corporate governance procedures, the Board does not involve itself in the day-to-day operations of Kintara. Our executive officers and management oversee our day-to-day operations. Our directors fulfill their duties and responsibilities by attending meetings of the Board, which are usually held on at least a quarterly basis. Our directors also discuss business and other matters with other key executives and our principal external advisers (legal counsel, auditors, financial advisors and other consultants).

Independent Directors

Our Board has determined that Robert E. Hoffman, Robert J. Toth, Jr., Laura Johnson, Keith Murphy, and Tamara A. Seymour are qualified to serve as independent directors. The standards relied on by the Board in affirmatively determining whether a director is “independent,” in compliance with Nasdaq’s rules, are comprised of those objective standards set forth in the rules promulgated by Nasdaq. The Board is responsible for ensuring that independent directors do not have a relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Nasdaq’s rules, as well as SEC rules, impose additional independence requirements for all members of the Audit Committee. Specifically, in addition to the “independence” requirements discussed above, “independent” audit committee members must: (1) not accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fees from Kintara or any subsidiary of Kintara other than in the member’s capacity as a member of the Board and any Board committee; (2) not be an affiliated person of Kintara or any subsidiary of Kintara; and (3) not have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of Kintara or any current subsidiary of Kintara at any time during the past three years. In addition, Nasdaq’s rules require that all audit committee members be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including Kintara’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. The Board believes that the current members of the Audit Committee meet these additional standards.

Furthermore, at least one member of the Audit Committee must be financially sophisticated, in that he or she has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individual’s financial sophistication, including, but not limited to being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer, other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities. Additionally, the SEC requires that Kintara disclose whether the Audit Committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who is a “financial expert.” The Board has determined that each of Robert E. Hoffman and Tamara A. Seymour meet the SEC’s definition of an audit committee financial expert.

Audit Committee

The Board has formed an Audit Committee, which currently consists of Robert E. Hoffman, Chair, Robert J. Toth, Jr., Laura Johnson, and Tamara A. Seymour, all of whom are independent (as that term is defined under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules) and financially literate (as such qualification is interpreted by the Board in its business judgment). In addition, our Board has determined that each of Mr. Hoffman and Ms. Seymour qualify as audit committee financial experts within the meaning of SEC regulations and the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. The Audit Committee met 4 times in fiscal 2020.

The Audit Committee oversees and monitors our financial reporting process and internal control system, reviews and evaluates the audit performed by our registered independent public accountants and reports to our Board any substantive issues found during the audit. The Audit Committee will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our registered independent public accountants. The Audit Committee reviews and approves all transactions with affiliated parties. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee.

A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is posted under the “Investors” tab on our website, which is located at www.kintara.com.

Compensation Committee

The Board has formed a Compensation Committee which consists of Robert J. Toth, Jr., Chair, Keith Murphy, and Robert E. Hoffman, all of whom are independent (as that term is defined under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules). The Compensation Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to (i) corporate

governance practices and policies and (ii) compensation matters, including compensation of the directors and senior management of the Company and the administration of compensation plans of the Company. The Compensation Committee met 6 times in fiscal 2020.

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee. A copy of the Compensation Committee Charter is posted under the “Investors” tab on our website, which is located at www.kintara.com.

The Compensation Committee has engaged Anderson Pay Advisors as its independent compensation consultant. In 2020, Anderson Pay Advisors reviewed both executive and director compensation and did not provide us any other services. Anderson Pay Advisors reported directly to the Compensation Committee and provided guidance on trends in executive and non-employee director compensation, the development of specific executive compensation programs, the composition of our compensation peer group and other matters as directed by the Compensation Committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Board has formed a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which currently consists of Laura Johnson, Chair, Robert J. Toth, Jr. and Keith Murphy. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses potential candidates to fill perceived needs on the Board for required, skills, expertise, independence and other factors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met 5 times in fiscal 2020.

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. A copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter is posted under the “Investors” tab on our website, which is located at www.kintara.com.

Nomination of Directors

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors assesses potential candidates to fill perceived needs on the Board of Directors for required skills, expertise, independence and other factors. A director candidate recommended by our stockholders will be considered in the same manner as a nominee recommended by a Board member, management or other sources. Stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination should contact our Secretary in writing at the Secretary of Kintara at 12707 High Bluff Dr., Suite 200, San Diego, CA 92130. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are separated. Robert E. Hoffman serves as the Chairman of the Board and Saiid Zarrabian serves as our Chief Executive Officer. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on the day-to-day business, while allowing the Chairman to lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. The Board recognize the time, effort and energy that the Chief Executive Officer must devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman, particularly as the Board’s oversight responsibilities continue to grow. The Board also believes that this structure ensures a greater role for the independent directors in the oversight of Kintara and active participation of the independent directors in setting agendas and establishing priorities and procedures for the work of the Board.

Our Board is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding the Company’s assessment of risks. The Board focuses on the most significant risks facing the Company and the Company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by the Company are consistent with the Board’s risk strategy. While the Board oversees the Company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing the Company and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, financial and accounting officers, our directors, our financial managers and all of our employees. The Board is committed to a

high standard of corporate governance practices and, through its oversight role, encourages and promotes a culture of ethical business conduct. A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted under the “Investors” tab on our website, which is located at www.kintara.com.

Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors and Attendance at Annual Meetings

The Board maintains a process for stockholders to communicate with the Board and its committees. Stockholders of Kintara and other interested persons may communicate with the Board or the chair of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by writing to the Secretary of Kintara at 12707 High Bluff Dr., Suite 200, San Diego, CA 92130. All communications that relate to matters that are within the scope of the responsibilities of the Board will be presented to the Board no later than the next regularly scheduled meeting. Communications that relate to matters that are within the responsibility of one of the Board committees will be forwarded to the chair of the appropriate committee. Communications that relate to ordinary business matters that are not within the scope of the Board’s responsibilities will be forwarded to the appropriate officer. Solicitations, junk mail and obviously frivolous or inappropriate communications will not be forwarded, but will be made available to any director who wishes to review them.

On July 7, 2017, Mr. Zarrabian was elected to our Board. On November 3, 2017, he was appointed interim Chief Executive Officer and on January 1, 2018 he was also appointed interim President.

In the event we terminate the employment agreement without cause, we will be required to pay Mr. Zarrabian continued payment of his base salary for 12 months, a prorated bonus for the year of termination based on performance through the date of termination, an additional six months of vesting credit for any outstanding options, and continued health coverage during the severance period. In the event that an involuntary termination occurs during a period beginning sixty days before a definitive corporate transaction agreement is entered into that would result in a change in control (as defined therein), or within twelve months following a change in control, the severance period will increase to eighteen months’ severance, Mr. Zarrabian will receive 100% of his target bonus, and his options will be fully vested.

On June 26, 2020 at our annual meeting of stockholders, the proposal to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan was approved and the 241,438 stock options were issued.

We may also pay to Dr. Brown a bonus and incentive compensation as determined at the discretion of the Board.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE*

The undersigned members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. submit this report in connection with the committee’s review of the financial reports for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 as follows:

1. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements for the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

2. The Audit Committee has discussed with representatives of Marcum LLP, the independent public accounting firm, the matters which are required to be discussed with them under the provisions of Auditing Standard No. 61, as amended (Communications with Audit Committees).

3. The Audit Committee has discussed with Marcum LLP, the independent public accounting firm, the auditors’ independence from management and the Company has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

In addition, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Marcum LLP, is compatible with maintaining its independence. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board of Directors has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AUTHORIZED THEREUNDER FROM 95,000,000 TO 175,000,000

________________________________

Our Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. Upon consultation with our management, our Board unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends for stockholder approval, the proposal to adopt a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, or the Certificate of Amendment, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 95,000,000 shares to 175,000,000 shares, each share of common stock having a par value of $0.001. The form of the text of the amendment (which would be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on its then prescribed form of Certificate of Amendment) is set forth as Appendix A to this proxy statement (subject to any changes required by applicable law). As of the Record Date, there were (i) 32,379,260 shares of common stock outstanding, (ii) 150,392 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (iii) approximately 17,381,549 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, (iv) approximately 12,167,347 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance of dividends under the Series C Preferred Stock, (v) 7,020,577 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance upon exercise of warrants currently outstanding, (vi) 142,375 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance upon exercise of options currently outstanding under the Del Mar Pharmaceuticals (BC) Ltd. 2013 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, and (vii) assuming that Proposal 4 is approved, 6,478,291 shares of common stock reserved for future grants under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The additional shares of common stock to be authorized by adoption of the amendment would have rights identical to the currently outstanding shares of common stock. Adoption of the amendment would not affect the rights of the holders of currently outstanding common stock, except, to the extent the additional authorized shares are issued, for effects incidental to increasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding, such as dilution of earnings per share and voting rights of current holders of common stock. If the amendment is adopted, it will become effective upon the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

The description of the Certificate of Amendment should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the proposed Certificate of Amendment attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Reasons for Adopting this Amendment

The increase in the authorized shares of common stock by 80,000,000 shares is expected to create capital liquidity to permit and enhance opportunities for future growth. The Board believes that with the current level of authorized capital stock, the Company is constrained in its ability to pursue strategic growth opportunities and to enhance stockholder value. The Board believes that the availability of the additional shares for such purposes, without delay or the necessity for a special stockholders’ meeting, would be beneficial to the Company. The Board considers the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock desirable and in the best interests of the Company because it would give the Company the necessary flexibility to issue common stock in connection with stock dividends and splits, mergers or acquisitions, equity financings, in its recruitment of new employees and to motivate, retain and encourage current employees and directors to act in the interests of the stockholders and share in the Company’s success and for other general corporate purposes. The Company currently has no oral or written plans, arrangements or understandings for the issuance of the additional shares of common stock to be authorized pursuant to this Proposal.

The amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation will ensure that the Company will continue to have an adequate number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock available for future use. As is the case with the shares of common stock which are currently authorized but unissued, if this amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation is adopted by the stockholders, the Board will only have authority to issue the additional shares of

common stock from time to time without further action on the part of stockholders to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or by the rules of any stock exchange or market on which the Company’s securities may then be listed or authorized for quotation.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effect

The additional number of authorized shares could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to take over the Company in a transaction not approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors could use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of independent stockholders. For example, it could implement a rights plan or similar arrangement pursuant to which shares of common stock would be issued to the other stockholders on highly-dilutive terms if the party seeking to take the Company over has purchased a substantial amount of common stock. At present, the Company does not have any such rights plan or other anti-takeover arrangement in place, nor does the Company have plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences. Stockholders do not have any preemptive or other rights to subscribe for any shares of common stock which may in the future be issued by the Company.

Approval Required

The approval of this Proposal 2 will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of our shares of common stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock that are entitled to vote, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote AGAINST this Proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AUTHORIZED THEREUNDER FROM 95,000,000 TO 175,000,000.

________________________________

PROPOSAL 3

APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

________________________________

In accordance with applicable federal securities laws, we are asking stockholders to vote, on an advisory basis, on the approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.

The Board and the Compensation Committee believe that our Company’s compensation policies and practices are effective in achieving our goals of motivating and retaining our executives by motivating and rewarding excellence in individual and Company performance and aligning our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders.

Proposal 3 is advisory and non-binding on our Board. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the results of this vote when evaluating our executive compensation program.

Proposal 3 is as follows:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as such compensation is disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K is hereby APPROVED.”

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board. Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and, to the extent there is any significant vote against Named Executive Officers compensation as disclosed in the proxy statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

Approval Required

The approval of this Proposal 3 will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the votes cast. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not affect the outcome of the vote of this Proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT RELATING TO ITS 2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS PURSUANT TO THE SEC’S COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES.

PROPOSAL 4

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR 2017 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER FROM 6,700,000 TO 13,000,000

________________________________

General

The general purpose of our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the Plan, is to provide a means whereby eligible employees, officers, non-employee directors and other individual service providers may develop a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in our development and financial success, and to encourage them to devote their best efforts to us, thereby advancing our interests and the interests of stockholders.

Our Board believes that the granting of stock options, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards and similar kinds of equity-based compensation promotes continuity of management and increases incentive and personal interest in the welfare of our Company by those who are primarily responsible for shaping and carrying out our long range plans and securing our growth and financial success. On April 26, 2021, our Board approved an amendment increasing the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan from 6,700,000 to 13,000,000 (less the number of shares of 142,375 subject to outstanding options granted under the DelMar Pharmaceuticals (BC) Ltd. 2013 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (which we refer to as the Legacy Plan)), and directed that the amendment be submitted to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting. A copy of the amendment is attached as Appendix B.

If the Company’s stockholders do not approve the increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, the Company will continue to operate the Plan under its current provisions, but will be limited in its ability to make future grants and incentives under the Plan to our management, employees and board members.

Description of the Existing Plan

The following description of the material terms of the Plan is intended to be a summary only. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 10-Q filed February 14, 2018.

Administration. The Plan is administered by a committee of our Board. The committee recommends approval by the Board the persons to whom options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units, restricted or unrestricted shares of our common stock, performance shares, performance units, other cash-based awards and other stock-based awards may be granted. The committee may also recommend, for approval by the Board, rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan and amendments or modifications of outstanding awards (except that out-of-the-money options and SARs cannot be repriced without stockholder approval). The committee may delegate authority to the chief executive officer and/or other executive officers to grant options and other awards to employees (other than themselves), subject to applicable law and the Plan. No options, stock purchase rights or awards may be made under the Plan on or after July 7, 2027, but the Plan will continue thereafter while previously granted options, SARs or other awards remain outstanding.

Eligibility. Persons eligible to receive options, SARs or other awards under the Plan are all employees, officers, directors, consultants, advisors or other individual service providers of our Company and our subsidiaries, or any person who is determined by the Compensation Committee to be a prospective employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor or other individual service provider of the Company or any subsidiary. As of April 27, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries had a total of four employees, including no officers and one executive officer (who are not included in the number of officers), four non-employee directors, and approximately 20 consultants, other advisors, and individual service providers. As of April 27, 2021, no person is eligible to participate as a result of a determination by the committee that that person is a prospective employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor or other individual service provider of the Company or any subsidiary. As awards under the Plan are within the discretion of the

committee, the Company cannot determine how many individuals in each of the categories described above will receive awards.

Shares Subject to the Plan. Prior to the proposed increase, an aggregate of 6,700,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the Plan (excluding reduction for the number of shares of 142,375 subject to outstanding options granted under the Legacy Plan), of which approximately 178,291 shares remain available for issuance as of the date of this proxy statement.

“Incentive stock options”, or ISOs, that are intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code may be granted under the Plan with respect to all of the 6,700,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan. If this Proposal 4 is approved by stockholders, all of the 13,000,000 shares (excluding reduction for the number of shares of 142,375 subject to outstanding options granted under the Legacy Plan) of common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan may be granted as ISOs. If any option or SAR granted under the Plan terminates without having been exercised in full or if any award is forfeited, or if shares of common stock are withheld to cover withholding taxes on options or other awards or applied to the payment of the exercise price of an option or purchase price of an award, the number of shares of common stock as to which such option or award was forfeited, withheld or paid, will be available for future grants under the Plan. No person may receive awards in any calendar year relating to more than 8% of our fully diluted shares of common stock on the date of grant (excluding the number of shares of common stock issued under the Plan and/or the Legacy Plan or subject to outstanding awards granted under the Plan or Legacy Plan).

The number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan and the foregoing share limitations are subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.

Terms and Conditions of Options. Options granted under the Plan may be either ISOs or “nonstatutory stock options” that do not meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. The Board, upon recommendation of the committee, will determine the exercise price of options granted under the Plan. The exercise price of stock options may not be less than the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant (or 110% of fair market value in the case of ISOs granted to a ten-percent stockholder).

If on the date of grant the common stock is listed on a stock exchange or is quoted on the automated quotation system of Nasdaq, the fair market value will generally be the closing sale price on the date of grant (or the last trading day before the date of grant if no trades occurred on the date of grant). If no such prices are available, the fair market value will be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the committee based on the reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method. On April 27, 2021, the closing sale price of a share of our common stock on Nasdaq was $1.48.

No option may be exercisable for more than ten years (five years in the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent stockholder) from the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan will be exercisable at such time or times as the Board of Directors, based on recommendations of the committee, prescribes at the time of grant. No employee may receive ISOs that first become exercisable in any calendar year in an amount exceeding $100,000. The committee may, in its discretion, permit a holder of an option to exercise the option before it has otherwise become exercisable, in which case the shares of our common stock issued to the recipient will continue to be subject to the vesting requirements that applied to the option before exercise.

Generally, the option price may be paid (a) in cash or by certified check, bank draft or money order, (b) through delivery of shares of our common stock having a fair market value equal to the purchase price, or (c) a combination of these methods. The committee is also authorized to establish a cashless exercise program and to permit the exercise price (or tax withholding obligations) to be satisfied by reducing from the shares otherwise issuable upon exercise a number of shares having a fair market value equal to the exercise price.

No option may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during a recipient’s lifetime an option may be exercised only by the recipient. However, the committee may permit the holder of an option, SAR or other award to transfer the option, right or other award to immediate family members or a family trust for estate planning purposes. The committee will determine the extent to which a holder of a stock option may exercise the option following termination of service with us.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the committee, may grant SARs, independent of or in connection with an option. The Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the committee, will

determine the other terms applicable to SARs. The exercise price per share of a SAR will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the committee. The maximum term of any SAR granted under the Plan is ten years from the date of grant. Generally, each SAR will entitle a participant upon exercise to an amount equal to:

• the excess of the fair market value on the exercise date of one share of our common stock over the exercise price, multiplied by

• the number of shares of common stock covered by the SAR.

Payment may be made in shares of our common stock, in cash, or partly in common stock and partly in cash, all as determined by the committee.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the committee, may award restricted common stock and/or restricted stock units under the Plan. Restricted stock awards consist of shares of stock that are transferred to a participant subject to restrictions that may result in forfeiture if specified conditions are not satisfied. Restricted stock units confer the right to receive shares of our common stock, cash, or a combination of shares and cash, at a future date upon or following the attainment of certain conditions specified by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the committee. The restrictions and conditions applicable to each award of restricted stock or restricted stock units may include performance-based conditions. Dividends with respect to restricted stock may be paid to the holder of the shares as and when dividends are paid to stockholders or at the time that the restricted stock vests, as determined by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the committee. Dividend equivalent amounts may be paid with respect to restricted stock units either when cash dividends are paid to stockholders or when the units vest. Unless the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the committee, determines otherwise, holders of restricted stock will have the right to vote the shares.

Performance Shares and Performance Units. The Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the committee, may award performance shares and/or performance units under the Plan. Performance shares and performance units are awards, denominated in either shares or U.S. dollars, which are earned during a specified performance period subject to the attainment of performance criteria, as established by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the committee. The Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the committee, will determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each award of performance shares and performance units.

Other Stock-Based and Cash-Based Awards. The Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the committee, may award other types of equity-based or cash-based awards under the Plan, including the grant or offer for sale of shares of our common stock that do not have vesting requirements and the right to receive one or more cash payments subject to satisfaction of such conditions as the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the committee, may impose.

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions. The committee may, at the time of the grant of an award provide for the effect of a change in control (as defined in the Plan) on any award, including (i) accelerating or extending the time periods for exercising, vesting in, or realizing gain from any award, (ii) eliminating or modifying the performance or other conditions of an award, or (iii) providing for the cash settlement of an award for an equivalent cash value, as determined by the committee. The committee may, in its discretion and without the need for the consent of any recipient of an award, also take one or more of the following actions contingent upon the occurrence of a change in control: (a) cause any or all outstanding options and SARs to become immediately exercisable, in whole or in part; (b) cause any other awards to become non-forfeitable, in whole or in part; (c) cancel any option or SAR in exchange for a substitute option; (d) cancel any award of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or performance units in exchange for a similar award of the capital stock of any successor corporation; (e) redeem any restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance share or performance unit for cash and/or other substitute consideration with a value equal to the fair market value of an unrestricted share of our common stock on the date of the change in control; (f) cancel any option or SAR in exchange for cash and/or other substitute consideration based on the value of our common stock on the date of the change in control, and cancel any option or SAR without any payment if its exercise price exceeds the value of our common stock on the date of the change in control; or (g) make such other modifications, adjustments or amendments to outstanding awards as the committee deems necessary or appropriate.

Amendment, Termination. Our Board may at any time amend the Plan for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of the Code, or other applicable law or regulation or for any other legal purpose, provided that, without the consent of our stockholders, the Board may not (a) increase the number of shares of common stock available under the Plan, (b) change the group of individuals eligible to receive options, SARs and/or other awards, or (c) extend the term of the Plan.

New Plan Benefits

Grants of awards under the Plan are subject to the discretion of the plan administrator. No determination has been made as to which of the individuals eligible to participate in the Plan will receive awards under the Plan in the future and, therefore, the future benefits to be allocated to any individual or to various groups of eligible participants are not presently determinable. However, please refer to the section entitled “Executive Compensation”, which provides information on the grants made in the last fiscal year, and the section entitled “Executive Compensation—Director Compensation”, which provides a description of grants made to our non-employee directors in the last fiscal year.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the principal federal income tax consequences of option and other grants under the Plan. Optionees and recipients of other rights and awards granted under the Plan are advised to consult their personal tax advisors before exercising an option or SAR or disposing of any stock received pursuant to the exercise of an option or SAR or following vesting of a restricted stock award or restricted stock unit or upon grant of an unrestricted stock award. In addition, the following summary is based upon an analysis of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) as currently in effect, existing laws, judicial decisions, administrative rulings, regulations and proposed regulations, all of which are subject to change and does not address state, local or other tax laws.

Treatment of Options

The Code treats incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options differently. However, as to both types of options, no income will be recognized to the optionee at the time of the grant of the options under the Plan, nor will our Company be entitled to a tax deduction at that time.

Generally, upon exercise of a nonstatutory stock option (including an option intended to be an incentive stock option but which has not continued to so qualify at the time of exercise), an optionee will recognize ordinary income tax on the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the exercise date over the option price. Our Company will be entitled to a tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the optionee in the fiscal year which includes the end of the optionee’s taxable year. We will be required to satisfy applicable withholding requirements in order to be entitled to a tax deduction. In general, if an optionee, in exercising a nonstatutory stock option, tenders shares of our common stock in partial or full payment of the option price, no gain or loss will be recognized on the tender. However, if the tendered shares were previously acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option and the tender is within two years from the date of grant or one year after the date of exercise of the incentive stock option, the tender will be a disqualifying disposition of the shares acquired upon exercise of the incentive stock option.

For incentive stock options, there is no taxable income to an optionee at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price will be taken into account in determining whether the “alternative minimum tax” will apply for the year of exercise. If the shares acquired upon exercise are held until at least two years from the date of grant and more than one year from the date of exercise, any gain or loss upon the sale of such shares, if held as capital assets, will be long-term capital gain or loss (measured by the difference between the sales price of the stock and the exercise price). Under current federal income tax law, a long-term capital gain will be taxed at a rate which is less than the maximum rate of tax on ordinary income. If the two-year and one year holding period requirements are not met (a “disqualifying disposition”), an optionee will recognize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise minus the exercise price or (ii) the amount realized on disposition minus the exercise price. The remainder of the gain will be treated as long-term capital gain, depending upon whether the stock has been

held for more than a year. If an optionee makes a disqualifying disposition, our Company will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee.

In general, if an optionee, in exercising an incentive stock option, tenders shares of common stock in partial or full payment of the option price, no gain or loss will be recognized on the tender. However, if the tendered shares were previously acquired upon the exercise of another incentive stock option and the tender is within two years from the date of grant or one year after the date of exercise of the other option, the tender will be a disqualifying disposition of the shares acquired upon exercise of the other option.

As noted above, the exercise of an incentive stock option could subject an optionee to the alternative minimum tax. The application of the alternative minimum tax to any particular optionee depends upon the particular facts and circumstances which exist with respect to the optionee in the year of exercise. However, as a general rule, the amount by which the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise of an option exceeds the exercise price of the option will constitute an item of “adjustment” for purposes of determining the alternative minimum taxable income on which the alternative tax may be imposed. As such, this item will enter into the tax base on which the alternative minimum tax is computed, and may therefore cause the alternative minimum tax to become applicable in any given year.

Treatment of Stock Appreciation Rights

Generally, the recipient of a SAR will not recognize any income upon grant of the SAR, nor will our Company be entitled to a deduction at that time. Upon exercise of a SAR, the holder will recognize ordinary income, and our Company generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction equal to the fair market value of our common stock at that time.

Treatment of Stock Awards

Generally, absent an election to be taxed currently under Section 83(b) of the Code (a “Section 83(b) Election”), there will be no federal income tax consequences to either the recipient or our Company upon the grant of a restricted stock award. At the expiration of the restriction period and the satisfaction of any other restrictions applicable to the restricted shares, the recipient will recognize ordinary income and our Company generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction equal to the fair market value of the common stock at that time. If a Section 83(b) Election is made within 30 days after the date the restricted stock award is granted, the recipient will recognize an amount of ordinary income at the time of the receipt of the restricted shares, and our Company generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, equal to the fair market value (determined without regard to applicable restrictions) of the shares at such time, less any amount paid by the recipient for the shares. If a Section 83(b) Election is made, no additional income will be recognized by the recipient upon the lapse of restrictions on the shares (and prior to the sale of such shares), but, if the shares are subsequently forfeited, the recipient may not deduct the income that was recognized pursuant to the Section 83(b) Election at the time of the receipt of the shares.

The recipient of an unrestricted stock award will recognize ordinary income, and our Company generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, equal to the fair market value of our common stock that is the subject of the award when the award is made.

The recipient of a restricted stock unit will recognize ordinary income as and when the units vest and shares of our common stock are issued. The amount of the income will be equal to the fair market value of the shares of our common stock issued at that time, and our Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. The recipient of a restricted stock unit will not be permitted to make a Section 83(b) Election with respect to such award.

The federal income tax consequences of performance share awards, performance unit awards, other cash-based awards and other stock-based awards will depend on the terms and conditions of those awards but, in general, participants will be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the cash and the fair market value of any fully vested shares of our common stock paid, determined at the time of such payment, in connection with such awards.

Section 409A. If an award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, but does not comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the taxable events as described above could apply earlier than described, and could result

in the imposition of additional taxes and penalties. Participants are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the applicability of Section 409A of the Code to their awards.

Potential Limitation on Company Deductions

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million paid in a taxable year by a publicly held corporation to its chief executive officer and certain other “covered employees”. The Board and the committee intend to consider the potential impact of Section 162(m) on grants made under the Plan, but reserve the right to approve grants of options and other awards for an executive officer that exceeds the deduction limit of Section 162(m).

Tax Withholding

As and when appropriate, we shall have the right to require each optionee purchasing shares of common stock and each grantee receiving an award of shares of common stock under the Plan to pay any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

The following table sets forth the aggregate information of our equity compensation plans in effect as of June 30, 2020:

Totals		1,559,199	$	4.61		720,801

Under the Plan, as amended by an amendment approved by the board of directors on September 5, 2019, and our stockholders at its annual meeting of stockholders held on June 26, 2020, 2,280,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance, less the number of shares of our common stock issued under the Legacy Plan or that are subject to grants of stock options made, or that may be made, under the Legacy Plan. A total of 164,235 shares of our common stock, net of forfeitures, have been issued under the Legacy Plan and/or were subject to outstanding stock options granted under the Legacy Plan, and a total of 1,394,964 shares of our common stock have been issued under the Plan and/or were subject to outstanding stock options granted under the Plan leaving a potential 720,801 shares of our common stock available for issuance under the Plan if all such options under the Legacy Plan were exercised and no new grants are made under the Legacy Plan.

Approval Required

The approval of this Proposal 4 will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of all of the votes cast. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not affect the outcome of the vote of Proposal 4.

PROPOSAL 5

RATIFICATION OF ACCOUNTANTS

___________________________

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Marcum LLP, or Marcum, as our independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. We are not required to seek stockholder approval for the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, however, the Audit Committee and the full Board believe it is sound corporate practice to seek such approval. If the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee will investigate the reasons for stockholder rejection and will re-consider the appointment. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of us and our stockholders.

Attendance at Annual Meeting

Representatives of Marcum will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders submitted in writing in accordance with the Annual Meeting procedures.

Fees Billed to the Company in fiscal years 2020 and 2019

Upon approval of the Board and the Audit Committee of the Board, on September 30, 2019 Marcum was appointed to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), Chartered Professional Accountants, had served as our independent registered public accounting from October 7, 2016 until July 31, 2019.

The following is a summary of fees paid by us for professional services rendered by Marcum for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and by E&Y for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

	Year Ended June 30, 2020		Year Ended June 30, 2019
Audit fees	$	130,000	$	132,800
Audit related fees	$	30,950	$	182,000
Tax fees	$	—	$	—
All other fees	$	—	$	—
Total fees	$	160,950	$	315,600

Audit fees. Audit fees represent fees for professional services performed by Marcum or E&Y for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of our quarterly financial statements, as well as services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Audit-related fees. Audit-related fees represent fees for assurance and related services performed by Marcum or E&Y that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements.

Tax Fees. Neither Marcum nor E&Y have performed any tax compliance services for us during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

All other fees. Neither Marcum nor E&Y have received any other fees from us for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

In accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, our audit committee charter and pre-approval policies established by the audit committee require that the audit committee review in advance and pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit fees for services provided to us by our independent registered public accounting firm. The services performed by, and the fees to be paid to Marcum or E&Y, in 2020 and 2019 were approved by the audit committee.

Previous Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On July 31, 2019, we received notification from E&Y, our former independent registered public accounting firm, that, as a result of the relocation of our headquarters from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to San Diego, California, E&Y declined to stand for re-appointment as our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020. The decision not to stand for re-appointment was not the result of any disagreements between the Company and E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures. Accordingly, on September 30, 2019 E&Y resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Upon approval of our Board and the audit committee of our Board, Marcum was engaged, effective September 30, 2019, to serve as out independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

E&Y’s report on Kintara’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 contained a paragraph stating that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. E&Y’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and neither such report was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, and the subsequent period through September 30, 2019, (i) there were no disagreements with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused E&Y to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) there were no reportable events as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K, except as described below.

During the audit for the year ended June 30, 2019, a material weakness in the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting was identified relating to inadequate segregation of duties over authorization, review and recording of transactions, as well as the financial reporting of such transactions. During the audit for the year ended June 30, 2018, a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting was identified relating to inadequate segregation of duties over authorization, review and recording of transactions, as well as the financial reporting of such transactions.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2019, neither we nor any person on its behalf had consulted Marcum with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to us nor oral advice was provided that Marcum concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K), or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

We have provided E&Y with a copy of the above disclosures.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee, or a designated member of the Audit Committee, shall preapprove all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms) to be performed for Kintara by our registered independent public accountants, subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services that are approved by the Audit Committee prior to completion of the audit, provided that: (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by Kintara to its registered independent

public accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by Kintara at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the Board to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee. Of the services set forth in the table above, all were preapproved by the Audit Committee.

Approval Required

The approval of this Proposal 5 will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the votes cast. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not affect the outcome of the vote of this Proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MARCUM LLP AS THE COMPANY’S independent registered accounting firm FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2021.
