The following constitutes Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned. This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein:
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
On October 29, 2019, Alpha Holdings filed two lawsuits in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, against the Issuer and its board ofdDirectors. The first is a class action lawsuit filed by Alpha Holdings on behalf of all OncoSec stockholders, alleging that the OncoSec board members have breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to the proposed transaction (the “Takeover Proposal”) with Grand Decade Developments Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited company and a wholly owned subsidiary of China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Holdings Limited (“CGP”), and Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc. (“Sirtex”), an affiliate of CGP, and breached their duty of candor by failing to fully and fairly disclose all material information regarding the Takeover Proposal. The lawsuit seeks to enjoin the as-yet unscheduled meeting at which stockholders will vote on the Takeover Proposal, void the license agreement with CGP that was agreed as part of the Takeover Proposal and order OncoSec to run a true and thorough sale process to maximize value for all stockholders. The second lawsuit asks the Court to enforce Alpha Holdings’ demand to inspect OncoSec’s books and records, which OncoSec has refused to honor even though it is legally required to do so.
On October 30, 2019, Alpha Holdings issued a press release announcing the commencement of the above-mentioned lawsuits, reiterating their opposition to the Takeover Proposal and announcing the filing of their preliminary proxy statement.

Exhibit 99.1
Alpha Holdings Files Class Action and Books and Records Lawsuits Against OncoSec
Alleges OncoSec Board Breached Fiduciary Duty by Agreeing to China Grand Takeover Proposal at Depressed Price with No Effort to Explore Alternative Transactions or Financing Sources
Also Sues to Enforce Right to Inspect OncoSec’s Books and Records
Files Preliminary Proxy with SEC and Will Vote AGAINST China Grand Transaction
October 30, 2019 12:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time
SEONGNAM, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alpha Holdings, Inc. (KOSDAQ: 117670) (“Alpha Holdings”), the largest stockholder of OncoSec Medical Incorporated (NASDAQ: ONCS) (“OncoSec” or the “Company”), with an approximate 15.15% ownership stake, today announced that it has filed two lawsuits in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, against OncoSec and its Board of Directors.
The first is a class action lawsuit filed by Alpha Holdings on behalf of all OncoSec stockholders, alleging that the OncoSec board members have breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to a takeover proposal (the “Takeover Proposal”) with a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Grand Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Holdings (“CGP”) and Sirtex Medical US Holdings, Inc. (“Sirtex”), an affiliate of CGP, and breached their duty of candor by failing to fully and fairly disclose all material information regarding the Takeover Proposal. The lawsuit seeks to enjoin the as-yet unscheduled meeting at which stockholders will vote on the Takeover Proposal, void the license agreement with China Grand that was agreed as part of the Takeover Proposal and order OncoSec to run a true and thorough sale process to maximize value for all stockholders. The second lawsuit asks the Court to enforce Alpha Holdings’ demand to inspect OncoSec’s books and records, which OncoSec has refused to honor even though it is legally required to do so.
Commenting on the lawsuits, Alpha Holdings stated: “The OncoSec board has agreed to a change of control transaction that we believe undervalues the Company and its future prospects, as evidenced by OncoSec’s own statements and the analysis of its financial advisor. The OncoSec Board has limited the Company’s ability to realize future upside and even agreed to a “no-talk” provision preventing OncoSec from engaging with alternative bidders prior to the closing of the transaction with CGP. We firmly believe that the China Grand takeover should be prevented and OncoSec should consider other financing arrangements that will preserve value for OncoSec’s current stockholders.”
As detailed in the Class Action Complaint, Alpha Holdings opposes the proposed transaction because it:
● | Gives CGP and its affiliate, Sirtex, 53% share ownership of OncoSec at a significantly depressed stock price; |
● | Allows CGP and Sirtex to appoint 3 of 9 directors plus up to 2 additional directors if any OncoSec’s current directors cease to serve, potentially giving CGP and Sirtex a majority of board seats; |
● | Limits OncoSec’s ability to consider acquisition proposals for OncoSec from third parties, thereby lowering the potential upside for current stockholders; |
● | Creates preemption rights on future equity sales by OncoSec that may further dilute OncoSec’s current stockholders and hinder the ability to attract new capital in the future; |
● | Fails to require that CGP actually develop or sell the products it seeks to license, thereby reducing their potential value to current OncoSec stockholders; |
● | Establishes a 70% board approval requirement for certain business decisions that would significantly restrict the board’s ability to run OncoSec’s business for the benefit of all stockholders; and |
● | Is supported by a so-called “fairness” opinion from a bank that will receive the majority of its fee, $1.2 million, only if the deal goes through. |
The Books and Records Complaint alleges, among other things, that OncoSec has refused to provide Alpha Holdings with books and records that it is entitled to inspect, including a copy of the Company’s stock ledger and a list of OncoSec stockholders. In the complaint, Alpha Holdings states its belief that OncoSec refused its request in order to obtain an unfair advantage in the upcoming proxy contest over the China Grand Takeover Proposal by hiding from Alpha Holdings the identities of its fellow stockholders and other valuable information. Alpha Holdings is seeking an order mandating that OncoSec immediately provide the books and records that Alpha Holdings has requested and an order enjoining the Special Meeting until Alpha Holdings has had an opportunity to inspect the records and communicate with its fellow stockholders about the China Grand Takeover Proposal.

Alpha Holdings also announced that it has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which details its reasons for opposing the transaction. Stockholders need take no action at this time.
