To the Stockholders of MEI Pharma, Inc.:

Since the beginning of this year, Anson Advisors Inc. (“Anson”) and Cable Car Capital LLC (“Cable Car”) have engaged in a series of tactics and maneuvers that we at MEI Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) believe consistently demonstrate one theme – that Anson and Cable Car have a single-minded agenda to obtain the Company’s cash as quickly as possible regardless of the opportunity cost to the Company’s potential value-creating clinical development program.

Specifically, in June of this year, Anson and Cable Car submitted an opportunistic bid to acquire your shares of the Company’s stock for a value that was substantially below the Company’s cash balance. The opportunistic nature of their proposal was confirmed not just by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, but by independent and respected proxy advisory firm ISS. In furtherance of that opportunistic proposal, in July of this year, Anson and Cable Car sought to remove the entire Board without cause, which is not valid under Delaware law.

When informed that such a removal without cause is invalid under applicable law, Anson and Cable Car, and the other participants described herein (collectively, the “Anson and Cable Car Group”), changed their approach. They then took the position that their previously stated reasons for removing the Board without cause actually provided a basis to remove the entire Board for cause. In furtherance of their single-minded goal of removing the duly-elected Board, they commenced a consent solicitation to seek the consents of other stockholders. In conjunction with this consent solicitation, Anson and Cable Car asked the Board in early August to establish a record date for determining the stockholders entitled to act on their consent solicitation, and, despite disagreeing with their specific proposals under their consent solicitation, the Board did so, establishing August 11, 2023 as record date. But even though the Board had acceded to their request, in late September, Anson and Cable Car purported to withdraw their consent solicitation, only to turn around and immediately commence a new consent solicitation, demanding a new record date.

Neither the blatant about-face of moving from a “for cause” to a “without cause” approach to removing the entire Board, nor the manipulative tactics of withdrawing and then immediately recommencing a consent solicitation, changes the fact that the Anson and Cable Car Group’s consent solicitation is nothing more than an invalid tactic to wrest control of the Company from all stockholders and your duly elected Board. They are attempting to take this action just months before the Company anticipates delivery of significant data readouts on two promising clinical-stage pipeline programs, voruciclib and ME-344, which it expects to provide during the first half of 2024 and, importantly, just before the Company’s regularly scheduled annual stockholders meeting at which all stockholders will be able to exercise their vote to fill the three Board seats in the expiring class of directors.

Even more alarmingly, the Anson and Cable Car Group fails to identify how new directors will be appointed to replace all of the directors so removed and does not identify any proposed director replacements. If the Anson and Cable Car Group’s director removal proposal was valid (which, as discussed later in this paragraph, we do not concede is the case) and they obtained the required written consents to remove the members of the Board, it would create significant uncertainty as to the composition of the Company’s leadership group, as it is unclear under Delaware law who the directors of the Company would be in such a situation and how their replacements would be named, regardless of the fact that the Anson and Cable Car Group has suggested it should have a role in naming the replacements through consultation with the removed and/or remaining directors. However, should the consent solicitation receive sufficient votes for passage, we would expect that the Company would challenge the validity of the director removal proposal, as we do not believe that the purported grounds for removal put forth by the Anson and Cable Car Group constitute valid cause for removal under the applicable principles of Delaware law. Resolving that issue would likely require significant time and expense, leading to significant disruption in the governance function of the Company.

Beyond the misguided director removal efforts, the Anson and Cable Car Group has added to their consent solicitation a proposal recommending that the Company distribute a minimum of $40 million in capital to stockholders, which would substantially diminish, if not extinguish, the Company’s ability to appropriately continue its currently ongoing development efforts to establish baseline safety and activity of these potentially valuable assets by obtaining clinical data needed to properly evaluate the programs and to pursue appropriate value realization opportunities.

Anson and Cable Car Group’s own public statements regarding their reasons for seeking to remove the current Board members stress their desire for the Company to prioritize a return of capital to stockholders rather than the Company’s currently ongoing clinical trials. We believe these Anson and Cable Car proposals are designed in furtherance of their single-minded agenda to obtain the Company’s cash as quickly as possible regardless of the opportunity cost to the Company and all of the Company’s stockholders in realizing near-term data read outs in the Company’s potentially value-creating clinical development programs.

The Board firmly believes that the Anson and Cable Car Group’s actions are NOT in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders. We continue to implore the Anson and Cable Car Group not to pursue this clearly invalid and unnecessarily disruptive consent solicitation that will result in unnecessary and ill-advised expenditure of corporate time and resources. The Board further believe that your current Board and management should be permitted to continue to pursue the Company’s current business plan, which has been thoughtfully developed and refined, to execute the currently ongoing and well advanced clinical trials for its two promising oncology drug development candidates that each have relatively near-term important inflection points in the first half of CY 2024.

Accordingly, we strongly urge you to reject the Anson and Cable Car Group’s opportunistic efforts to remove your Board.

You can reject the Anson and Cable Car Group’s efforts to take control of the Company by taking the following steps:

1.	Do not sign the Anson and Cable Car Group’s WHITE Consent Card;

2.	If you have signed the Anson and Cable Car Group’s WHITE Consent Card, you may revoke that consent by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed GOLD Consent Revocation Card immediately; and

3.	Even if you have not signed the Anson and Cable Car Group’s WHITE Consent Card, you can show your support for your Board and the best interests of fellow stockholders by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed GOLD Consent Revocation Card.

Regardless of the number of shares of common stock of the Company that you own, your revocation of consent is important. Please act today. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

/s/ Charles V. Baltic III

This Consent Revocation Statement is dated October 17, 2023, and is first being mailed or made available to stockholders of MEI Pharma, Inc. on or about October 17, 2023.

CONSENT REVOCATION STATEMENT

BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MEI PHARMA, INC.

October 17, 2023

This Consent Revocation Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of MEI Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MEI Pharma,” “MEI,” or the “Company”), to the holders of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00000002 per share (the “Common Stock”), in connection with your Board’s opposition to the solicitation of written stockholder consents (the “Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Solicitation”) by Cable Car Capital LLC (together with its affiliates, “Cable Car”), Funicular Funds, LP, Jacob Ma-Weaver, Anson Funds Management LP (“Anson Management”), Anson Management GP LLC (“Anson GP”), Anson Advisors Inc. (together with Anson Management, Anson GP, and its other affiliates, “Anson”), Bruce R. Winson, Amin Nathoo, and Moez Kassam (collectively, the “Anson and Cable Car Group”). This Consent Revocation Statement and the enclosed GOLD Consent Revocation Card are first being mailed to stockholders on or about October 17, 2023.

Pursuant to Delaware law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting (the “Record Date”) is the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company, unless a record date has otherwise been duly established by the Company’s Board of Directors. Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date are eligible to execute, withhold and revoke written consents with respect to the corporate action referred to therein. In order for a written consent to be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein, consents signed by a sufficient number of holders must be delivered to the corporation within 60 days of the first date on which a consent is so delivered to the corporation.

At the initial request of the Anson and Cable Car Group, the Board established a Record Date of August 11, 2023, for the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Solicitation. On September 29, 2023, the Anson and Cable Car Group purported to withdraw their consent solicitation, and to submit a new one requesting that the Board declare a new record date by October 9, 2023, stating that if the Board did not so act, then under Delaware law, the record date would be September 29, 2023. The Board determined not to so act, and thus the Record Date is September 29, 2023. On September 29, 2023, there were 6,662,857 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

INTRODUCTION

Continuing a pattern of opportunistic behavior, the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Solicitation is an invalid attempt to wrest control of the Company from you and your duly elected Board to effect a return of the Company’s capital rather than ensure that the Company can continue to pursue its development initiatives, all without even knowing who would oversee the Company in the removed directors’ stead. The Consent Solicitation does a disservice to all stockholders by ignoring best principles of corporate governance by bypassing processes well-established in law and well-considered in practice to oversee the business strategy and business affairs of the Company. The Company has an Annual General Meeting upcoming at which the Anson and Cable Car Group has already indicated it will solicit proxies in favor of three of its own candidates for director, in opposition to the Company’s candidates. This process will provide stockholders with the opportunity to elect as many as three representatives to the Board who can express their views on the Company’s strategies and operations.

Specifically, the Anson and Cable Car Group is asking you to: (i) repeal any provision of the Fifth Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) that was not included in the Bylaws in effect as of February 22, 2023 (the “Bylaw Restoration Proposal”), (ii) remove, purportedly for cause, all members of the Board including Charles V. Baltic III, Frederick W. Driscoll, Nicholas R. Glover, Daniel P. Gold, Tamar D. Howson, Sujay R. Kango, Thomas C. Reynolds and David M. Urso (the “Removal Proposal”), and (iii) recommend, on an advisory basis, that the Board take all actions necessary to authorize and implement the return of a minimum of $40 million in capital to stockholders (the “Capital Return Proposal”).

Your directors were selected by the stockholders of our Company through processes designed by the Board to foster good corporate governance and representation of all stockholders. These processes are described in detail in the Company’s annual proxy statement. Each member of the Board other than Mr. Urso, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Gold, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, is independent under the criteria established by the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) for director independence. Our Board of Directors comprises highly-qualified directors that bring deep domain drug development experience and expertise needed to guide the business forward as MEI executes on its upcoming key milestones. Our directors bring strong track records in the life sciences industry, including leadership at pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and expertise across medicine and science, and pharmaceutical marketing, as well as governance, finance, law and FDA matters.

With respect to the Capital Return Proposal, this Board is executing a well-established and long-range business plan for the Company that has been thoughtfully developed and refined, and MEI is nearing important inflection points in its clinical development programs pursuant to that plan by building on our expertise in developing groundbreaking cancer therapies that can potentially deliver improved outcomes for cancer patients and thereby create value for stockholders. The Company’s two promising clinical-stage pipeline programs, voruciclib and ME-344, are both expected to deliver important, near-term, data readouts during the first half of 2024 from substantially-executed ongoing clinical trials. If positive, these data points may represent important inflection points for both programs and could support potential value realization opportunities for all stockholders. The Board is firmly committed to taking actions that are in the best interest of all stockholders. In that regard, the Board regularly evaluates the Company’s capital allocation to ensure that MEI is best positioned to optimize stockholder returns. Simply put, returning a minimum of $40 million in capital to stockholders, as the Capital Return Proposal suggests, would substantially diminish, if not extinguish, the Company’s ability to appropriately continue its currently ongoing development efforts, to establish baseline safety and activity of these potentially valuable assets by obtaining clinical data needed to properly evaluate the programs and to pursue appropriate value realization opportunities.

A consent in favor of the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Solicitation would be a consent, at the behest of a small and self-selected subset of investors, to remove all members of your duly elected Board, a request of investors who just this year submitted a proposal to acquire your shares of common stock that was described by leading and independent proxy advisory firm ISS as “opportunistic” without identifying replacement directors and without appropriate provision for all stockholders to have a voice in the governance of the Company.

THE BOARD HAS UNANIMOUSLY DETERMINED THAT THE ANSON AND CABLE CAR GROUP CONSENT SOLICITATION IS CONTRARY TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY AND

ITS STOCKHOLDERS, AND VIGOROUSLY OPPOSES THE SOLICITATION OF CONSENT CARDS BY THE ANSON AND CABLE CAR GROUP.

THE BOARD FURTHER BELIEVES THAT THE ANSON AND CABLE CAR GROUP CONSENT SOLICITATION DOES NOT STATE A VALID BASIS FOR “CAUSE” UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF DELAWARE LAW AND IS THUS INVALID UNDER DELAWARE LAW AND, ACCORDINGLY, SHOULD IT BE ADOPTED, INTENDS IMMEDIATELY TO COMMENCE LITIGATION IN THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY TO ENJOIN SUCH A CHANGE IN DIRECTORS.

NONETHELESS THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU NOT SIGN ANY WHITE REQUEST CARD SENT TO YOU BY THE ANSON AND CABLE CAR GROUP. WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY EXECUTED A WHITE CONSENT CARD, THE BOARD URGES YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND DELIVER THE ENCLOSED GOLD REVOCATION CARD USING THE ENCLOSED PRE-PAID ENVELOPE.

If you have any questions about giving your consent revocation or require assistance, please contact Alliance Advisors, MEI’s proxy solicitor:

DESCRIPTION OF THE ANSON AND CABLE CAR GROUP CONSENT SOLICITATION

As set forth in the Anson and Cable Car Group Preliminary Consent Solicitation and related materials filed with the SEC on October 10, 2023, the Anson and Cable Car Group is soliciting your consents to the following proposals (collectively, the “Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Proposals”):

Repeal any provision of the Fifth Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), including any amendments thereto, in effect at the time this Proposal becomes effective, which was not included in the Bylaws that were in effect as of February 22, 2023 and were filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023 (the “Bylaw Restoration Proposal”) to restore the Bylaws to their current form if the Board attempts to amend them in any manner prior to the completion of the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Solicitation;

Remove, purportedly for cause, all members of the Board: Charles V. Baltic III, Frederick W. Driscoll, Nicholas R. Glover, Daniel P. Gold, Tamar D. Howson, Sujay R. Kango, Thomas C. Reynolds and David M. Urso (the “Removal Proposal”); and

Recommend, on an advisory basis, that the Board take all actions necessary to authorize and implement the return of a minimum of $40 million in capital to stockholders (the “Capital Return Proposal”).

A consent in favor of the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Proposals would be a consent to remove, purportedly for cause, all members of your duly elected Board. The Bylaw Restoration Proposal is designed to nullify unspecified provisions of the Bylaws that the proponents appear to believe may be adopted by the Board. As of the date of this Consent Revocation Statement, the Company has not amended the Bylaws since February 23, 2023. The Capital Return Proposal would recommend to the Board that it engage in a capital return program that would substantially diminish, if not extinguish, the Company’s ability to appropriately continue its currently ongoing development efforts, to establish baseline safety and activity of these potentially valuable assets by obtaining clinical data needed to properly evaluate the programs and to pursue appropriate value realization opportunities.

BACKGROUND OF THE ANSON AND CABLE CAR GROUP SOLICITATION

•

On February 14, 2023, Anson filed an initial Schedule 13G, disclosing beneficial ownership of approximately 8.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

•

On February 23, 2023, MEI and Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Infinity”) announced that MEI, Infinity and Meadow Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of MEI (“Merger Sub”), had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) on February 22, 2023. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was to have merged with and into Infinity, with Infinity being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of MEI (the “Merger”).

•

In February and March 2023, Anson spoke with members of MEI’s management shortly after the announcement of the Merger to learn more about the role of the Merger in the Company’s business strategy.

•

On March 2, 2023, Anson communicated to the Company’s management that it was unlikely Anson would be able to vote in favor of the Merger in its current form.

•

In April 2023, at Anson’s request, Anson again spoke to MEI’s management. Anson reiterated its position that it would be unable to support the Merger in its current form.

•

On May 19, 2023, Cable Car and Anson entered into a Group Agreement (the “Group Agreement”), pursuant to which they agreed, among other things, to form a group for the purpose of working together to enhance stockholder value of the Company.

•

On May 23, 2023, Anson and Cable Car delivered a letter to the Chair of the Board conveying their unsolicited and non-binding proposal (the “Acquisition Proposal”) to acquire all outstanding shares of Common Stock not already held by their respective funds for cash consideration of not less than $8.00 per share, plus a contingent value right representing the right to receive 80% of the net proceeds from any license or disposition of MEI’s clinical assets. The Acquisition Proposal would, by its terms, expire on July 13, 2023 and be considered withdrawn, within the meaning of the Merger Agreement, if not accepted prior to the special meeting called in connection with the Merger (the “Merger Special Meeting”), then-scheduled to occur on July 14, 2023.

•

On May 30, 2023, Anson and Cable Car filed an initial Schedule 13D, disclosing a combined beneficial ownership of approximately 14.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

•

On June 1, 2023, MEI Pharma issued a press release announcing that the Board rejected the Acquisition Proposal, concluding that the unsolicited proposal significantly undervalued the Company, was not superior to the proposed Merger with Infinity and did not provide a basis for discussions regarding an alternative transaction.

•

Also on June 1, 2023, Anson and Cable Car issued a statement regarding MEI Pharma’s rejection of the Acquisition Proposal.

•

On June 27, 2023, Anson and Cable Car issued a statement regarding the proposed Merger between Infinity and MEI, emphasizing their opposition to a provision in an employment agreement the Company adopted that compensates Chief Executive Officer David Urso if “rights to the Infinity compound eganelisib are acquired by MEI in 2023 or 2024 in a transaction that is not the Merger.” They also expressed their belief that the Board’s determination that the Acquisition Proposal was not superior to the proposed Merger with Infinity and did not provide a basis for discussions regarding an alternative transaction was incorrect.

•

On July 3, 2023, proxy advisory firm ISS released their recommendations with respect to the Merger Agreement. ISS concluded that the board “ran a reasonably thorough review of alternatives before entering into” the Merger Agreement and that the strategic rationale of the Merger was “compelling”. In addition, ISS concluded that “the competing offer from Anson Advisors and Cable Car appears opportunistic.”

•

On July 13, 2023, the Company announced that it had postponed the Merger Special Meeting, originally scheduled to occur on July 14, 2023, to July 23, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

•

On July 17, 2023, Anson and Cable Car delivered to the Secretary of the Company written notice to request that the Board fix a record date in accordance with the Bylaws for determining stockholders entitled to give their written consent to the Bylaw Restoration Proposal and their initial proposal to remove directors without cause (the “Removal Without Cause Proposal”).

•

Also on July 17, 2023, Anson and Cable Car filed their preliminary consent statement with the SEC and issued a press release announcing such filing.

•

Also on July 17, 2023, the Company sent a letter to Anson and Cable Car explaining that the Removal Without Cause Proposal was invalid under Delaware law and that, as such, the Company did not intend to set a record date for determining stockholders entitled to give their written consent to it. The letter urged Anson and Cable Car not to pursue their solicitation for their clearly invalid and unnecessary proposals that, if pursued, would result in the unnecessary expenditure of corporate time and resources.

•

On July 18, 2023, the Company issued a press release stating that it had found the Removal Without Cause Proposal invalid under Delaware law, that it had not made or proposed any modification of the Bylaws to date, and that it did not currently intend to do so.

•

On July 19, 2023, Anson and Cable Car issued a press release in response to the Company’s determination that the Removal Without Cause Proposal was invalid. In the press release, Anson and Cable Car claimed that stockholders were misled about their rights to remove a director without cause.

•

On July 23, 2023, the Company convened the Merger Special Meeting. At the Merger Special Meeting, although the proposal to approve the issuances of shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement was supported by stockholders holding 1,903,448 shares, or nearly 48% of the shares present at the Merger Special Meeting, such vote was not sufficient to adopt the proposal. Accordingly, the Company sent Infinity a notice terminating the Merger Agreement due to lack of stockholder approval.

•

On August 4, 2023, Anson and Cable Car delivered to the Secretary of the Company written notice to request that the Board fix a record date in accordance with the Bylaws for determining stockholders entitled to give their written consent to the Anson and Cable Car Group Proposals.

•

Also on August 4, 2023, Anson and Cable Car filed Amendment No. 1 to their preliminary consent statement with the SEC, in which they shifted their opportunistic strategy to an attempt to remove all members of the Board for reasons that they claim to constitute cause.

•

On August 8, 2023, Anson and Cable Car filed Amendment No. 2 to their Schedule 13D disclosing the delivery of the record date request letter and the filing of the Amendment No. 1 to the preliminary consent statement.

•

On August 11, 2023, in compliance with Anson’s and Cable Car’s record date request, the Company’s Board acted to establish August 11, 2023 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to give their written consent to the Anson and Cable Car Group Proposals.

•

On several occasions between August 11, 2023 and September 13, 2023, members of the Company’s management team and Board of Directors engaged in discussions with the Anson and Cable Car Group in an attempt to resolve the parties’ differing views. While the Company hoped to reach agreement with the Anson and Cable Car Group on a mutually acceptable path forward, the Anson and Cable Car Group ultimately refused to enter into an agreement that did not accede to their desire for the Company to engage in a return of capital rather than a focus on the Company’s development initiatives.

•

On September 15, 2023, the Company finalized this Consent Revocation Statement and filed it with the SEC.

•

Also on September 15, 2023, Anson and Cable Car filed Amendment No. 3 to their Schedule 13D disclosing the nomination of three candidates for election as director at the Company’s upcoming annual meeting of stockholders.

•

On September 18, 2023, the Company issued a press release, filed with the SEC as proxy soliciting material, acknowledging and responding to the Anson and Cable Car Group’s nomination of three candidates for election as director.

•

On September 22, 2023, Anson and Cable Car filed Amendment No. 4 to their Schedule 13D disclosing the purchase of additional shares of the Company’s stock.

•

Also on September 22, 2023, Anson and Cable Car filed proxy materials in which they indicated their intention to request a new record date for purposes of determining stockholders entitled to give their written consent to the Anson and Cable Car Group Proposals.

•

On September 26, 2023, Anson and Cable Car submitted to the Company a request for a new record date, and delivered an initial signed consent, representing 3,700 shares of the Company’s common stock, in favor of the Anson and Cable Car Group Proposals.

•

On September 28, 2023, the Company notified Anson and Cable Car that it would not be establishing a new record date, noting that the existing record date has been established pursuant to the Anson and Cable Car Group’s own request, and filed with the SEC proxy materials so indicating. The Company also filed with the SEC on such date this revised Consent Revocation Statement.

•

On September 29, 2023, Anson and Cable Car filed definitive additional soliciting material with the SEC purporting to withdraw their consent solicitation, and notified the Company of their purported withdrawal.

•

Also on September 29, 2023, Anson and Cable Car delivered written consents to the Company and a written request for the Board to fix a record date in accordance with the Bylaws for determining stockholders entitled to give their written consent to the proposals, which now included a proposal to recommend, on an advisory basis, that the Board take all actions necessary to authorize and implement the return of a minimum of $40 million in capital to stockholders (the “Capital Return Proposal”). On the same date, Anson and Cable Car filed their preliminary consent statement with the SEC.

•

On October 1, 2023, the Company adopted a limited duration stockholder rights agreement (the “Rights Plan”), with the purpose of promoting the fair and equal treatment of all our stockholders and ensure that no person or group can gain control of the Company through open market accumulation or other tactics potentially disadvantaging the interest of all stockholders. The Rights Plan applies equally to all current and future stockholders and is not intended to deter offers that are fair and otherwise in the best interest of all or our stockholders.

•

On October 9, 2023, our Board determined not to set a record date for our consent solicitation.

•

On October 10, 2023, Anson and Cable Car filed a definitive consent statement with the SEC.

•

On October 11, 2023, members of the Company’s management team and Board of Directors engaged in discussions with the Anson and Cable Car Group in a continuing attempt to resolve the parties’ differing views, but no agreement was reached.

•

On October 12, 2023, we filed this revised Consent Revocation Statement with the SEC.

•

On October 13, 2023 and October 16, 2023, we engaged in further discussions with the Anson and Cable Car Group in an effort to resolve the parties’ differing views, but still no agreement was reached.

•

On October 17, 2023, we filed this definitive Consent Revocation Statement with the SEC.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS

AND REASONS FOR THE RECOMMENDATION

For the following reasons, the Board unanimously opposes the Anson and Cable Car Consent Proposals and recommends that you NOT sign any WHITE written consent card and disregard any consent solicitation materials sent to you by Anson and Cable Car. Whether or not you have previously executed a WHITE written consent card, the Board encourages you to sign, date and return the enclosed GOLD Consent Revocation Card as soon as possible.

Your directors were selected through processes designed by the Board to foster good corporate governance and representation of all stockholders. These processes are described in detail in the Company’s annual proxy statement and this Consent Revocation Statement. Each member of the Board other than Mr. Urso, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Gold, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, is independent under the criteria established by the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) for director independence.

Our Board of Directors comprises highly-qualified directors that bring the breadth of experience and expertise needed to guide the business forward as MEI reaches its upcoming clinical development program data events. Our Directors bring strong track records in the life sciences industry, including leadership at pharmaceutical companies and expertise across medical and scientific and marketing, as well as legal and regulatory matters. This majority independent Board is pursuing the Company’s business plan, which has been thoughtfully developed and refined.

•

The Anson and Cable Car Group is opportunistically trying to wrest control of the Company from you and your duly elected Board without even knowing who would replace the Board to manage the Company in pursuit of its goals. Earlier this year, Anson and Cable Car submitted an opportunistic bid to acquire your shares of Common Stock for a value that was below the Company’s expected cash balance. The opportunistic nature of their proposal was confirmed not just by the Board, but by independent and respected proxy advisory firm ISS.

•

In furtherance of that opportunistic proposal, in July of this year, Anson and Cable Car sought to remove the entire Board of Directors without cause. When informed that such a removal without cause is invalid under applicable law, the Anson and Cable Car Group changed their position. They now say that their previously stated reasons for removing the Board without cause provide a basis to remove the entire Board for cause. But simply saying “cause” exists does not make it so. Like their solicitation to remove directors without cause, much of the Anson and Cable Car Consent Solicitation is dedicated to reasons why those opportunistic stockholders disagreed with the Board’s strategy of pursuing the Merger. However, a disagreement over a business judgment – particularly a business judgment supported by the holders of nearly 48% of the shares present at the Merger Special Meeting – does not constitute cause. The remainder of the Anson and Cable Car Consent Solicitation focuses on an incorrect disclosure in certain public filings of the Company regarding the ability of stockholders to remove directors without cause. But the initial instance of the identified disclosure predates all current directors’ terms on the Board and the Anson and Cable Car Group point to no evidence (because none exists) that the current directors were aware of that incorrect disclosure or intentionally utilized that disclosure in any inequitable way. Moreover, the nature of the Company’s classified board – the existence of which results in the inability to remove directors without cause under Delaware law – was publicly disclosed. Under Delaware law, directors are entitled to rely in good faith on the Company’s officers and outside advisors, and that is exactly what the directors did here. Such good-faith reliance does not constitute cause to remove directors. Although the Board hopes to avoid the expense of litigation by having the stockholders simply reject the Anson and Cable Car Group solicitation, the Board reserves all rights to contest the validity of such removal if the Removal Proposal is approved.

•

The Anson and Cable Car Group is seeking to cause the removal of the entire Board to occur without even suggesting who would oversee the Company in their stead. Instead, they simply state that “should we successfully remove a majority or more of the current directors, we intend to explore all potential

pathways to exercise our rights as stockholders to appoint or elect new directors, including under Section 223 of the DGCL.” In short, the Anson and Cable Car Group is asking you to turn over control of the Company without providing a clear and concrete path to build value for your investment in the Company.

•

The Anson and Cable Car Group is pursuing this invalid substantial change that would effectively leave the Company a rudderless ship even though the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, at which director elections will be held and as to which the Anson and Cable Car Group has nominated three director candidates, is coming up in just a few months.

•

In addition, the Anson and Cable Car Group is now pursuing a recommendation, on an advisory basis, that the Board take the actions necessary to authorize and implement the return of a minimum of $40 million in capital to stockholders, a plan which, if executed, would substantially diminish, if not extinguish, the Company’s ability to appropriately continue its currently ongoing development efforts, to establish baseline safety and activity of these potentially valuable assets by obtaining clinical data needed to properly evaluate the programs and to pursue appropriate value realization opportunities.

•

The Anson and Cable Car Group disclose that they are soliciting your consent in favor of the adoption of the Bylaw Restoration Proposal “to ensure the incumbent Board does not limit the effect of your consent to the removal of the incumbent members of the Board through changes to the Bylaws not filed with the SEC on or before February 23, 2023.” Because the Board does not intend to adopt such amendments, and believes that the Removal Proposal is invalid under Delaware and not in the best interests of stockholders, the Bylaw Restoration Proposal is unnecessary and unwarranted.

Stockholders should carefully consider whether the Anson and Cable Car Consent Proposals are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. We strongly believe that such proposals do not substitute for an open and productive dialogue between us and the stockholders.

Your prompt delivery of the enclosed GOLD Consent Revocation Card will allow the Board to focus on growing the Company and maximizing value for its stockholders. DO NOT sign any WHITE written consent card sent to you by the Anson and Cable Car Group.

We urge you to act to protect your investment in MEI and the potential realization of the value of our promising programs by signing and returning MEI’s GOLD Consent Revocation Card using the postage-paid envelope provided and disregarding any consent solicitation materials you receive from Anson and Cable Car.

YOUR CONSENT OR REVOCATION IS IMPORTANT, NO MATTER HOW MANY OR HOW FEW SHARES YOU OWN.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT THE WHITE WRITTEN CONSENT CARD AND WISH TO REVOKE SAID WHITE CARD, PLEASE SEND THE SIGNED GOLD CONSENT REVOCATION CARD.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS CONSENT REVOCATION SOLICITATION

Who is making this consent revocation solicitation?

Your Board of Directors.

What are we asking you to do?

We are asking you to fill out and return the GOLD Consent Revocation Card, which will record your action in opposition to the two proposals described in the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Solicitation and revoke any consent that you may previously have delivered in favor of the proposals, and, by doing so, preserve your current Board, which will continue to act in your best interests.

What is a consent solicitation?

If I haven’t previously delivered a consent, do I have to do anything?

No. If you support the position of your Board in opposition to the proposals put forward by the Anson and Cable Car Group, doing nothing—in other words, not returning either the WHITE Consent Card or the GOLD Consent Revocation Card—has the same effect as returning the GOLD card. This is because in order for any of the proposals to be approved, a certain number of shares must be affirmatively consented in favor of the proposal. There are, however, two good reasons to return the GOLD card even in this scenario. You will assist the Company in tracking the consent process, and you will revoke any consent you may previously have submitted.

If I have already delivered a consent, is it too late for me to change my mind?

No. If you have already sent the WHITE written consent card from Anson and Cable Car and wish to revoke said WHITE card, please send the signed GOLD consent revocation card.

Until the requisite number of duly executed, unrevoked consents are delivered to the Company in accordance with Delaware law and the Company’s organizational documents, the consents will not be effective. At any time prior to the consents becoming effective, you have the right to revoke your consent by delivering a GOLD Consent Revocation Card, as discussed in the following question.

When will the consents become effective?

Under Section 228 of the DGCL, a corporate action will become effective if valid, unrevoked consents signed by the holders of the requisite number of shares are delivered to the company within 60 days of the first date on which a consent is so delivered to the company. Under applicable provisions of the DGCL, September 29, 2023 is the record date for purposes of the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Solicitation. On September 29, 2023, there were there were 6,662,857 shares of Common Stock outstanding. In order for any of the Removal Proposal, the Bylaw Restoration Proposal or the Capital Return Proposal to be adopted the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of September 29, 2023, or at least 3,331,429 shares of Common Stock, would be required for the Anson and Cable Car Group to validly deliver such written consent.

What is the effect of delivering a Consent Revocation Card?

By marking the “REVOKE MY CONSENT” boxes on the enclosed GOLD Consent Revocation Card and signing, dating and mailing the card in the postage-paid envelope provided, you will revoke any earlier dated consent that you may have delivered to the Anson and Cable Car Group. Even if you have not submitted a consent card, you may submit a consent revocation as described above. Even if you have not submitted a WHITE Consent Card, we urge you to submit a GOLD Consent Revocation Card, as it will help us keep track of the progress of the consent process.

What does the Board of Directors recommend?

Your Board of Directors strongly believes that the solicitation being undertaken by the Anson and Cable Car Group is not in the best interests of all of the Company’s stockholders for the reasons described above. Your Board of Directors unanimously opposes the solicitation by the Anson and Cable Car Group and urges stockholders to reject the solicitation and revoke any consent previously submitted.

THE CONSENT PROCEDURE

Voting Securities and Record Date

In accordance with Delaware law and the Company’s organizational documents, on August 4, 2023, the Anson and Cable Car Group delivered a written request to the Secretary of the Company for the Board to fix a record date in accordance with the Bylaws for determining stockholders entitled to give their written consent to the Anson and Cable Car Group Proposals. Despite disagreeing with their proposals, the Board did so, establishing August 11, 2023 as record date. But even though the Board acceded to the request of the Anson and Cable Car Group, in late September, the Anson and Cable Car Group purported to withdraw their consent solicitation, only to turn around and immediately commence a new consent solicitation, demanding a new record date. The Company has not challenged this demand, and thus the Record Date for the determination of the Company’s stockholders who are entitled to execute, withhold or revoke consents relating to the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Proposals is September 29, 2023. As of the Record Date, there were 6,662,857 shares of the Common Stock outstanding. Each share of the Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date will be entitled to one vote per share.

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date are eligible to execute, withhold and revoke consents in connection with the Anson and Cable Car Group Proposals. Persons beneficially owning shares of the Common Stock (but not holders of record), such as persons whose ownership of the Common Stock is through a broker, bank or other financial institution, should contact such broker, bank or financial institution and instruct such person to execute the GOLD Consent Revocation Card on their behalf. You may execute, withhold or revoke consents at any time, provided that any such consent or revocation will be valid only if you were a stockholder of record of the Company as of the close of business on the Record Date and the consent or revocation was otherwise valid.

Effectiveness of Consents

Under Delaware law, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, stockholders may act without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and are delivered to the corporation in the manner required by Delaware law. The Company’s certificate of incorporation does not prohibit stockholder action by written consent. Under Section 228 of the DGCL, a corporate action will become effective if valid, unrevoked consents signed by the holders of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date are delivered to the Company within 60 days of the first date on which a consent is so delivered to the Company. The Anson and Cable Car Group delivered to the Company a signed written consent on September 29, 2023, which means that valid, unrevoked consents signed by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date must be delivered no later than November 28, 2023, which is the date that is 60 days following the first date on which a consent was delivered to the Company.

Effect of GOLD Consent Revocation Card

The effect of a Consent Revocation Card is to revoke any consent that a stockholder may have previously given in response to the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Solicitation. If you have not previously returned a WHITE Consent Card voting in favor of the proposals contained in the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Solicitation, it is not strictly necessary to return a GOLD Consent Revocation Card because only shares affirmatively consenting in favor of a proposal may be counted. The Company strongly urges you to return the GOLD card in any event, however, since doing so will assist the Company in tracking the consent process.

If you have previously submitted a consent in favor of any of the proposals and wish to revoke that consent, you may do so by signing, dating and returning to the Company a GOLD Consent Revocation Card. We urge you to do so promptly, because the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Proposals could become effective even before

the expiration of the 60-day period if a sufficient number of unrevoked consents has been received. A consent may also be revoked by delivery of a written revocation of your consent to the Anson and Cable Car Group. Stockholders are urged, however, to return all consent revocations in the envelope provided or to Corporate Secretary at MEI Pharma, Inc., 11455 El Camino Real, Suite 250, San Diego, California 92130 Attention: Justin J. File. The Company requests that if a revocation is instead delivered to the Anson and Cable Car Group, a copy of the revocation also be returned in the envelope provided so that the Company will be aware of all revocations.

Unless you specify otherwise, by signing and delivering the GOLD Consent Revocation Card, you will be deemed to have revoked consent to all of the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Proposals.

Any consent revocation may itself be revoked by marking, signing, dating and delivering a written revocation of your GOLD Consent Revocation Card to the Company or to the Anson and Cable Car Group or by delivering to the Anson and Cable Car Group a subsequently dated WHITE Consent Card that the Anson and Cable Car Group sent to you.

The Company has retained Alliance Advisors, LLC (“Alliance”) to assist in communicating with stockholders in connection with the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Solicitation and to assist in our efforts to obtain consent revocations. If you have any questions about how to complete or submit your GOLD Consent Revocation Card or any other questions, Alliance will be pleased to assist you. Please call Alliance toll free at +1 (888) 511-2635 or contact them by email at: MEIP@allianceadvisors.com.

If any shares of Common Stock that you owned on the Record Date were held for you in an account with a stock brokerage firm, bank nominee or other similar “street name” holder, you are not entitled to take action with respect to such shares directly, but rather must give instructions to the stock brokerage firm, bank nominee or other “street name” holder to grant or revoke consent for the shares of Common Stock held in your name. Please contact the person responsible for your account and direct him or her to execute the enclosed GOLD Consent Revocation Card on your behalf. You are urged to confirm in writing your instructions to the person responsible for your account and provide a copy of those instructions to the Company, c/o MEI Pharma, Inc., 11455 El Camino Real, Suite 250, San Diego, California 92130 Attention: Justin J. File, at the address or facsimile number set forth above so that the Company will be aware of your instructions and can attempt to ensure each instruction is followed.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REVOKE ANY CONSENT YOU MAY HAVE PREVIOUSLY GIVEN TO THE ANSON AND CABLE CAR GROUP. TO DO SO, YOU NEED ONLY SIGN, DATE AND RETURN IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE THE GOLD CONSENT REVOCATION CARD ACCOMPANYING THIS CONSENT REVOCATION STATEMENT. IF YOU SIGN BUT DO NOT INDICATE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ON THE GOLD CONSENT REVOCATION CARD WITH RESPECT TO THE ANSON AND CABLE CAR GROUP PROPOSALS, THE CONSENT REVOCATION CARD WILL BE USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BOARD’S RECOMMENDATION TO REVOKE ANY CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO ALL SUCH PROPOSALS.

You should carefully review this Consent Revocation Statement. YOUR TIMELY RESPONSE IS IMPORTANT. You are urged not to sign any WHITE Consent Cards. Instead, reject the solicitation efforts of the Anson and Cable Car Group by promptly completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed GOLD Consent Revocation Card in the envelope provided. Please be aware that if you sign a WHITE card but do not check any of the boxes on the card, you will be deemed to have consented to all of the Anson and Cable Car Group Consent Proposals.

Results of Consent Revocation Statement

The Company intends to notify stockholders of the results of the consent solicitation by filing the results with the SEC.

SOLICITATION OF REVOCATION

Cost and Method

The cost of the solicitation of revocations of consent will be borne by the Company. The Company estimates that the total expenditures relating to the Company’s consent revocation solicitation (other than salaries and wages of officers and employees, but including costs of any litigation related to the solicitation) will be approximately $1,110,000, of which approximately $508,000 has been incurred as of the date hereof. In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and other employees of the Company may, without additional compensation, solicit revocations in person or by telephone or other forms of telecommunication, including facsimile and email.

The Company has retained Alliance as proxy solicitors, at an estimated fee of $75,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, to assist in the solicitation of revocations. Alliance will also assist the Company’s communications with its stockholders with respect to the consent revocation solicitation and such other advisory services as may be requested from time to time by the Company. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses, banks, custodians and other nominees and fiduciaries for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding the Company’s consent revocation materials to, and obtaining instructions relating to such materials from, beneficial owners of the Common Stock. The Company has agreed to pay Alliance compensation for its services and reimbursement of out of-pocket expenses in connection with its services. In addition, Alliance and certain related persons will be indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with the engagement.

Participants in the Company’s Solicitation

Under applicable SEC regulations, the directors and certain executive officers of the Company are deemed to be “participants” in the Company’s solicitation of consent revocations. Please refer to the sections entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” and “Certain Information Regarding Participants in this Consent Revocation Solicitation” for information about our directors and officers who might be deemed to be participants in the solicitation.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

There were no related party transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of the Regulation S-K during the three years ended June 30, 2023.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock to file initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such person.

We reviewed copies of reports filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and written representations from reporting persons that all reportable transactions were reported. Based solely on that review, we believe that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, all required filings were timely made in accordance with the Exchange Act’s requirements, with the exception of late filings of Form 3 reports by Anson Funds Management LP and Funicular Funds, LP, each made on May 30, 2023.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED

Stockholders who intend to present proposals at the Company’s fiscal 2024 annual meeting of stockholders under SEC Rule 14a-8 were required to have delivered such proposals to the Secretary of the Company no later than June 30, 2023. Such proposals must meet the requirements of the SEC to be eligible for inclusion in the Company’s fiscal 2024 proxy materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the date of annual meeting for fiscal 2024 is changed by more than 30 days from the date of the fiscal 2023 annual meeting, all stockholder proposals must be submitted a reasonable time before a solicitation is made.

In accordance with our Bylaws, stockholder proposals, including stockholder nominations for candidates for election as directors, that are intended to be presented by stockholders at the fiscal 2024 annual meeting of stockholders but not submitted for inclusion in the proxy statement for our fiscal 2024 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8, must have been received by us no earlier than August 8, 2023 and no later than September 7, 2023, unless we change the date of our fiscal 2024 annual meeting more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the date of our fiscal 2023 annual meeting, in which case stockholder proposals must be received by us no earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the 90^th day prior to such annual meeting.
