Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 16, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) effective as of June 17, 2023. The Bylaws were amended and restated to, among other things:

•

enhance procedural mechanics and disclosure requirements in connection with stockholder nominations of directors and submissions of proposals regarding other business at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders (except for proposals properly made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), including to reflect new “universal proxy rules” in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, to:

require that stockholders making proposals or nominations are stockholders of record from the date of notice through the date of the Company’s annual meeting;

require a stockholder submitting a proposal or nomination to make a representation that the stockholder intends to deliver a proxy statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the voting power of Company’s then-outstanding stock required to approve or adopt the proposal;

require nominating stockholders to submit a questionnaire signed by the nominee with respect to, among other things, the background and qualification of the nominee and to make certain representations to the Company;

require the nominating stockholder to provide reasonable evidence no later than five business days before the Company’s annual meeting that the stockholder has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19; and

provide that if the stockholder provides notice with respect to a proposed nominee and subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19, the director nominee proposed by such stockholder shall be ineligible for election at the annual meeting.

•

revise certain additional procedures related to stockholder meetings to conform to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as recently amended (the “DGCL”), including but not limited to, provisions relating to delivery of notices of stockholder meetings, quorum, communications regarding adjourned stockholder meetings, conduct of business at meetings, and the preparation of the stockholder list in connection with stockholder meetings;

•

update various provisions regarding directors, Board committees, and officers, including but not limited to requirements for action by written consent of the Board; and

•

make various updates throughout to conform to current Delaware law (including the recent amendments to the DGCL) and to make ministerial changes, clarifications, and other conforming revisions.

The foregoing description of the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
