Proxy Statement For Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Approximate Date of Mailing: September 3, 2021

The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Champions Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in connection with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on October 20, 2021, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the meeting. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on August 27, 2021 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting. On that date, there were outstanding 13,415,066 shares of the Company’s common stock par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”). The Board of Directors has designated its headquarters at One University Plaza, Suite 307, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601 as the place of the Meeting. The Meeting will be called to order at 9:00 AM, Eastern time.

The Board of Directors solicits this proxy and urges you to vote immediately. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references to “Champions,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “the Company” means Champions Oncology, Inc.

Pursuant to the e-proxy rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. On or about September 3, 2021, we will mail to our stockholders a notice (the “E-Proxy Notice”) containing instructions on how to access online our 2021 Proxy Statement, and Annual Report on Form 10-K. If you would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting proxy materials included in the E-Proxy Notice. These materials will be available free of charge and will be sent to you within three business days of your request. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K does not constitute a part of the proxy solicitation material, but provides you with additional information about the Company.

Each record holder of Shares on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each Share held on all matters to come before the Meeting, including the election of directors. Because most of our stockholders cannot attend the Meeting in person, it is necessary for a large number to be represented by proxy. Stockholders may vote by going online and casting their votes electronically or by requesting a proxy card and mailing it to us to the attention of Ronnie Morris, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Please check the information forwarded by your bank, broker or other holder of record to see what options are available to you. A proxy may be revoked at any time before its exercise by delivering a later dated proxy, or written notice of revocation, to us to the attention of Ronnie Morris, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or by voting by ballot at the Meeting. Mere attendance at the Meeting will not revoke a proxy. If you are a beneficial owner of Shares not registered in your own name, you will need additional documentation to vote personally at the Meeting, as set forth in the instruction form you receive from your bank, broker or its nominee.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR ANNUAL MEETING

Q: Who is asking for my vote and why am I receiving this document?

A:

The Board of Directors asks that you vote on the matters listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting of stockholders that are more fully described in this Proxy Statement.

We are providing this Proxy Statement and related proxy card to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Meeting. A proxy, if duly executed and not revoked, will be voted in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the proxy and, if it does not contain specific instructions, will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors set forth in this Proxy Statement.

Q: Who is entitled to vote?

A: You may vote if you owned Shares on August 27, 2021, the date established by the Board of Directors under Delaware law and our by-laws for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. On the record date, there were 13,415,066 Shares outstanding. Each Share outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote.

Q: What is a proxy?

A: A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote your stock. If you designate someone in writing as your proxy or proxy holder, that document is also called a proxy or a proxy card. Dr. Ronnie Morris and Mr. David Miller have been designated as proxies or proxy holders for the Meeting. Proxies properly executed and received by our Secretary prior to the Meeting and not revoked will be voted in accordance with the terms thereof.

Q: What is a voting instruction?

A: A voting instruction is the instruction form you receive from your bank, broker or its nominee if you hold your Shares in street name. The form instructs you on how to direct your bank, broker or its nominee, as record holder, to vote your Shares.

Q: What am I voting on at the Meeting?

A: You will be voting on the following matters at the Meeting:

•Election of the seven named nominees to the Board of Directors;

•Approval of a non-binding advisory resolution relating to the compensation of our named executive officers;

5

Q: How many votes must be present to hold the Meeting?

A: In order for the Meeting to be conducted, a majority of the outstanding Shares as of the Record Date must be represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting. This is referred to as a quorum. Abstentions, withheld votes and Shares held of record by a bank, broker or its nominee (“Broker Shares”) that are voted on any matter (including an abstention or withheld vote by Broker Shares) are included in determining the number of votes present. Broker Shares that are not voted on any matter will not be included in determining whether a quorum is present.

Q: What vote is needed to elect directors?

A: The election of each nominee for director requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the Shares voted in the election of directors.

Q: What vote is needed to ratify the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP?

A: The ratification of the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

Q: What vote is needed to approve the non-binding advisory resolution relating to the compensation of our named executive officers?

A: The approval of the non-binding advisory resolution relating to the compensation of our named executive officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting that voted. Because your vote is advisory in nature, it will not be binding on the Company or the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors will review the results of the voting on this resolution and consider them when making future decisions on executive compensation.

Q: What vote is needed to approve the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan?

A: The approval of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting that voted.

Q: How do I vote?

A:	Stockholders may vote by going online and casting their votes electronically or by requesting a proxy card and mailing it to us to the attention of Ronnie Morris, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
	Stockholders who hold Shares through banks, brokers or other nominees who wish to vote at the Meeting should be provided voting instructions on the instruction form provided to them from the institution that holds their Shares. If this has not occurred, please contact the institution that holds your Shares.
	The deadline for votes received by mail is 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on October 19, 2021.

Q: Can I attend the Meeting?

A: The Meeting is open to all holders of our Shares as of the Record Date, August 27, 2021. However, in light of the ongoing developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to protect the health of our stockholders and the community, space will be limited and seating at the Meeting will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. You may vote by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, however, we encourage you to vote your Shares by proxy. We will not permit cameras, recording devices or other electronic devices at the Meeting.

Q: Can I change or revoke my vote?

A:	Any stockholder giving a proxy may change or revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Meeting. A proxy can be changed or revoked by:
	¬ delivering a later dated proxy, or written notice of revocation, to us to the attention of Ronnie Morris, Chief Executive Officer of the Company; or ¬ appearing at the Meeting and voting in person.
	If you decide to vote by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card, you should retain a copy of the proxy card in the event that you decide later to change or revoke your proxy at the Meeting. Your attendance at the Meeting will not itself revoke a proxy.
	If you are a stockholder whose Shares are held in street name with a bank, broker or other nominee, you must follow the instructions found on the voting instruction form provided by the bank, broker or other nominee, or contact your bank, broker or other nominee in order to change or revoke your previously given proxy.

Q: How will my Shares be voted if I sign, date and return my proxy card or voting instruction form, but do not provide complete voting instructions with respect to each proposal?

A: Stockholders should specify their choice for each matter on the enclosed proxy. If no specific instructions are given, it is intended that all proxies that are signed and returned will be voted “FOR” the election of all nominees for director, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP ,“FOR” the non-binding resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers and “FOR” the approval of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. As to any other business that may properly come before the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction will vote the Shares represented by the proxy in the proxy holders’ discretion. The Board of Directors does not presently know of any other such business.

7

Q: How will my Shares be voted if I do not return my proxy card or my voting instruction form?

A:

It will depend on how your ownership of Shares is registered. If you own your Shares as a registered holder, which means that your Shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, your Shares will only be voted if our transfer agent receives specific voting instructions from you. Otherwise, your unvoted Shares will not be represented at the Meeting and will not count toward the quorum requirement, which is explained under “Questions and Answers — How many votes must be present to hold the Meeting?” above, unless you attend the Meeting to vote them in person.

If you are a stockholder whose Shares are held in street name, meaning that your Shares are registered in the name of your bank, broker or other nominee, your bank, broker or other nominee may not vote your Shares in its discretion (with certain limited exceptions) unless you have provided voting instructions to the bank, broker or its nominee. Generally, your broker may vote your Shares in its discretion on “routine matters.” We believe that the ratification of the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is a routine matter for which brokerage firms may vote in their discretion on behalf of their clients if no voting instructions are provided. Therefore, if you are a stockholder whose Shares are held in street name with a bank, broker or other nominee and you do not return your voting instruction form, your bank, broker or other nominee may vote your Shares on the ratification of the appointment by the Audit Committee of EisnerAmper LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Q: Where can I find the results of the Meeting?

A: We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Meeting and publish final results through a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days of the Meeting.

Q: Who pays for the solicitation of proxies?

A: We will pay for the cost of the solicitation of proxies.

Q: Could other matters be decided at the Meeting?

A: As of the date of the mailing of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors did not know of any other business that might be brought before the Meeting. However, if any other matters should properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on such matters as they, in their discretion, may determine.

Q: Where can I find the corporate governance materials?

A: The charters of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, are available on our Internet website at http://www.championsoncology.com under the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations tab and are available in print to any stockholder upon request by contacting our investor relations department as described below.

Q: How do I communicate with the Board of Directors?

8

A: Stockholders and other interested persons may communicate with the full Board of Directors, a specified committee of the Board of Directors or a specified individual member of the Board of Directors in writing by mail addressed to Champions Oncology, Inc., One University Plaza, Suite 307, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601, Attention: Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The current members of the Audit Committee are: (i) Scott Tobin, who is serving as Chairperson, (ii) Joel Ackerman, and (iii) Daniel Mendelson, each of whom is independent under the Nasdaq Rules. The Company's Board has reviewed whether our Audit Committee members meet the heightened independence standards of Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Nasdaq Rules, and concluded that each member meets such requirements. The Company's Board has also examined the SEC’s definition of “audit committee financial expert” and determined that Mr. Tobin satisfies this definition. Accordingly, Mr. Tobin has been designated by the Company's Board as the Company’s audit committee financial expert. The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing and implementing policies and procedures that are intended to assure that the Board of Directors will be appropriately constituted and organized to meet its fiduciary obligations to the Company and the stockholders on an ongoing basis.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one time during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021. The policy of the Company's Board is to encourage the selection of directors who will contribute to our company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers recommendations from stockholders, as well as other people, as it deems appropriate. Stockholders wishing to nominate a director candidate must comply with certain procedures. We explain the procedures for nominating a director candidate at next year’s annual meeting in “Other Matters.”

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is charged with reviewing and determining the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee, among other things, reviews all forms of compensation for senior management of the Company, including the form and amount of current salary, deferred salary, cash and non-cash benefits and all compensation plans of the Company; approves base salary amounts, incentive and bonus compensation amounts and individual stock and/or option grants and awards for all corporate officers at or above the Vice President level (including the Chief Executive Officer) and all other reporting officers of the Company; has administered the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and will administer the Company's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, if approved; prepares and approves reports to stockholders on compensation matters required by the SEC and other government bodies; performs an annual performance appraisal for the Chief Executive Officer and other senior managers designated by the Board; and establishes levels of director compensation.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is designed to promote the highest standards of ethical conduct by the Company’s directors, executive officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.

Communications with the Board

Any stockholder desiring to contact the Company's Board, or any specific director(s), may send written communications to: Board of Directors (Attention: (Name(s) of director(s), as applicable)), c/o the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, One University Plaza, Suite 307, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601. Any proper communication so received will be processed. If it is unclear from the communication received whether it was intended or appropriate for the Company's Board, the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will (subject to any applicable regulatory requirements) use his judgment to determine whether such communication should be conveyed to the Company's Board or, as appropriate, to the member(s) of the Company's Board named in the communication.

Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

While the Company's Board believes that there are various structures which can provide successful leadership to the Company, we currently have separate individuals serving in the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in recognition of the differences between the two roles. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Company and the day-to-day leadership of the Company, while the Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer and presides over meetings of the full Board. This structure is appropriate at this time to the Company’s business because it reflects the industry experience, vision and energy brought to the Company's Board of Directors by the Chairman, Mr. Ackerman, and the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Morris.

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the Company faces, while the Company's Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Company's Board has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. To do this, the Chairman of the Board meets regularly with management to discuss strategy and the risks facing the Company. Senior management attends the Company's Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Company's Board on risk management and any other matters. The Chairman of the Board and independent members of the Board work together to provide strong, independent oversight of the Company’s management and affairs through its standing committees and, when necessary, special meetings of independent directors.

Proposal No. 2

Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has appointed EisnerAmper LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2022. EisnerAmper LLP has served as the Company’s independent public accountants since fiscal 2015. A representative of EisnerAmper LLP is expected to be present at the Meeting with an opportunity to make a statement and to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

EisnerAmper LLP’s principal function is to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and, in connection with that audit, to review certain related filings with the SEC and to conduct limited views of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports.

THE BOARD OF DIRCTORS AND THE AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF EISNERAMPER LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING APRIL 30, 2022.

Appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company for ratification by our by-laws or otherwise. However, the Board of Directors is submitting the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain the firm. In such event, the Audit Committee may retain EisnerAmper LLP, notwithstanding the fact that the stockholders did not ratify the appointment or may select another nationally recognized accounting firm without resubmitting the matter to stockholders. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee reserves the right, in its discretion, to select a different nationally recognized accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Audit Committee is solely responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Proposal No. 3

Non-Binding Proposal to Approve the Compensation of Our Executive Officers

SEC rules adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, enable our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

18

For the reasons stated below, we are requesting your approval of the following non-binding resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

The compensation of our named executive officers is comprehensively described in the Executive Compensation section, and the accompanying tables (including all footnotes) and narrative, of this Proxy Statement.

The Compensation Committee designs our compensation policies for our named executive officers to create executive compensation arrangements that are linked both to the creation of long-term growth, stockholder value and company-wide performance, and are competitive with peer companies of similar complexity and encourage stock ownership by our senior management. Based on its review of the total compensation of our named executive officers for fiscal year 2021, the Compensation Committee believes that the total compensation for each of the named executive officers is reasonable and effectively achieves the designed objectives of driving superior business and financial performance, attracting, retaining and motivating our people, aligning our executives with stockholders’ long-term interests, focusing on the long-term and creating balanced program elements that encourage aligned, systemic, sustainable performance.

Neither the approval nor the disapproval of this resolution will be binding on us or the Company's Board or will be construed as overruling a decision by us or the Company's Board. Neither the approval nor the disapproval of this resolution will create or imply any change to our fiduciary duties or create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for us or the Company's Board. However, the Compensation Committee values the opinions that our stockholders express in their votes and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future executive compensation decisions, as it deems appropriate.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE NON-BINDING ADVISORY RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

Proposal No. 4

The 2021 Equity Incentive Plan

General

The Board of Directors approved and adopted, subject to the shareholder approval, the Equity Incentive Plan ("the Plan") on August 30, 2021. If the Equity Incentive Plan is approved by the shareholders, the Company will be authorized to grant equity awards to eligible service providers following the effective date of the Equity Incentive Plan. The form of the Equity Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement as Annex 1. The shareholders are being asked to approve the Equity Incentive Plan as presented.

Purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal

The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of shareholder value by encouraging service providers to focus on critical long-range corporate objectives and linking service providers directly to shareholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Company believes that the Equity Incentive Plan will be important in helping to attract and retain service providers of the Company with exceptional qualifications. The Company and its subsidiaries currently have a total of approximately 200 employees, consultants, officers and directors that may be issued incentives under this plan.

Reasons for the Approval of the EquityIncentive Plan Proposal

Shareholder approval of the Equity Incentive Plan is necessary in order for the Company to (a) meet the shareholder approval requirements of the NASDAQ and (b) grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”).

Consequences if the EquityIncentive Plan Proposal is Not Approved

If the Equity Incentive Plan is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Equity Incentive Plan will not become effective and the Company will not be able to grant equity awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. We believe that our ability to recruit, retain and incentivize top talent will be adversely affected if the Equity Incentive Plan is not approved.

Material Terms of the EquityIncentive Plan

The material terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, as currently contemplated by the Company’s Board, are summarized below. This summary, however, is not intended to be a complete description of the Equity Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Equity Incentive Plan, the form of which is attached to this joint proxy statement as Annex 1. The Company’s shareholders are being asked to approve the Equity Incentive Plan as presented.

Administration. The Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by the Company’s Board or by one or more committees to which the board of directors delegates such administration (as applicable, the “Equity Incentive Plan Administrator”). Subject to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator will have the authority to (a) determine the eligible individuals who are to receive awards under the Equity Incentive Plan, (b) determine the terms and conditions of awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, (c) determine performance criteria and the achievement of such criteria, (d) accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, awards and (e) make all other decisions related to the Equity Incentive Plan and awards granted thereunder. The Equity Incentive Plan Administrator may also delegate to one or more senior officers of the Company the authority to grant awards, subject to terms and conditions determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator and within the limitations of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Types of Awards. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, which may be ISOs or non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other cash-based, equity-based or equity-related awards that the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator determines are consistent with the purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan and the interests of the Company, or collectively, awards.

Number of Shares Covered by the Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Benefits, including ISOs, granted under this Plan shall be 2,000,000shares.Shares issued under the Equity Incentive Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. As of the date hereof, approximately 85,000 awards have been granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, subject to shareholder approval of the Plan.

23

Eligibility. Employees (including officers), non-employee directors and consultants who render services to the Company or a parent, subsidiary or affiliate thereof (whether now existing or subsequently established) are eligible to receive awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Company or a parent or subsidiary thereof (whether now existing or subsequently established). As of and assuming the effective of the Equity Incentive Plan, approximately persons (including executive officers and non-employee directors) would be eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan.

International Participation. The Equity Incentive Plan Administrator has the authority to implement sub-plans (or otherwise modify applicable grant terms) for purposes of satisfying applicable foreign laws, conforming to applicable market practices or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws, and the terms and conditions applicable to awards granted under any such sub-plan or modified award may differ from the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan. Any shares issued in satisfaction of awards granted under a sub-plan will come from the Equity Incentive Plan share reserve.

Stock Options. A stock option is the right to purchase a certain number of shares of stock at a fixed exercise price which, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Subject to limited exceptions, an option may have a term of up to 10 years and will generally expire sooner if the optionee’s service terminates. Options will vest at the rate determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator. An optionee may pay the exercise price of an option in cash, or, with the administrator’s consent, with shares of stock the optionee already owns, with proceeds from an immediate sale of the option shares through a broker approved by us, through a net exercise procedure or by any other method permitted by applicable law.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right provides the recipient with the right to the appreciation in a specified number of shares of stock. The Equity Incentive Plan Administrator determines the exercise price of stock appreciation rights granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Subject to limited exceptions, a stock appreciation right may have a term of up to 10 years and will generally expire sooner if the recipient’s service terminates. SARs will vest at the rate determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator. Upon exercise of a SAR, the recipient will receive an amount in cash, stock, or a combination of stock and cash determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares being exercised over their exercise price.

Tax Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of the Company’s Common Stock with respect to ISOs that are exercisable for the first time by an option holder during any calendar year under all of the Company’s stock plans may not exceed $100,000. Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit will generally be treated as NSOs. No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the Company’s total combined voting power or that of any of the Company’s affiliates unless (a) the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant and (b) the term of the ISO does not exceed five years from the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Awards. Shares of restricted stock may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan for such consideration as the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator may determine, including cash, services rendered or to be rendered to the Company, promissory notes or such other forms of consideration permitted under applicable law. Restricted shares may be subject to vesting, as determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator. Recipients of restricted shares generally have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to those shares, including voting rights, however any dividends and other distributions on restricted shares will generally be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the underlying shares.

Restricted Stock Units. A restricted stock unit is a right to receive a share, at no cost to the recipient, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including vesting conditions, established by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator. RSUs vest at the rate determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator and any unvested RSUs will generally be forfeited upon termination of the recipient’s service. Settlement of restricted stock units may be made in the form of cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock, as determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator. Recipients of restricted stock units generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time the vesting conditions are satisfied and the award is settled. At the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator’s discretion and as set forth in the applicable restricted stock unit agreement, restricted stock units may provide for the right to dividend equivalents which will generally be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the restricted stock units to which they pertain.

Other Awards. The Equity Incentive Plan Administrator may grant other awards based in whole or in part by reference to the Company’s Common Stock and may grant awards under other plans and programs that will be settled with shares issued under the Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of any such awards.

24

Changes to Capital Structure. In the event of certain changes in capitalization, including a stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend, proportionate adjustments will be made in the number and kind of shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan, the limit on the number of shares that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan as ISOs, the number and kind of shares subject to each outstanding award and/or the exercise price of each outstanding award.

Change of Control. The Equity Incentive Plan Administrator may provide, in an individual award agreement or in any other written agreement with a participant, that the award will be subject to acceleration of vesting and exercisability or termination in the event of a change of control or in connection with a termination of employment in connection with or following a change in control.

Transferability of Awards. Unless the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator determines otherwise, an award generally will not be transferable other than by beneficiary designation, a will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Equity Incentive Plan Administrator may permit transfer of an award in a manner consistent with applicable law.

Amendment and Termination. The Equity Incentive Plan Administrator may amend or terminate the Equity Incentive Plan at any time. Any such amendment or termination will not affect outstanding awards. If not sooner terminated, the Equity Incentive Plan will terminate automatically 10 years after its adoption by the Board. Shareholder approval is not required for any amendment of the Equity Incentive Plan, unless required by applicable law, government regulation or exchange listing standards.

Certain Federal Income Tax Aspects of Awards Under the EquityIncentive Plan

This is a brief summary of the U.S. federal income tax aspects of awards that may be made under the Equity Incentive Plan based on existing U.S. federal income tax laws as of the date of this proxy statement. This summary covers only the basic tax rules. It does not describe a number of special tax rules, including the alternative minimum tax and various elections that may be applicable under certain circumstances. It also does not reflect provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which a holder may reside, nor does it reflect the tax consequences of a holder’s death. Therefore, no one should rely on this summary for individual tax compliance, planning or decisions. Participants in the Equity Incentive Plan should consult their own professional tax advisors concerning tax aspects of awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. The discussion below concerning tax deductions that may become available to the Company under U.S. federal tax law is not intended to imply that the Company will necessarily obtain a tax benefit or asset from those deductions. The tax consequences of awards under the Equity Incentive Plan depend upon the type of award. Changes to tax laws following the date of this proxy statement could alter the tax consequences described below.

Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is recognized by an optionee upon the grant or vesting of an ISO, and no taxable income is recognized at the time an ISO is exercised unless the optionee is subject to the alternative minimum tax. The excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over the exercise price paid for the shares is required for inclusion in alternative minimum taxable income.

If the optionee holds the purchased shares for more than one year after the date the ISO was exercised and more than two years after the ISO was granted (the “required ISO holding periods”), then the optionee will generally recognize long-term capital gain or loss upon disposition of such shares. The gain or loss will equal the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition of the shares and the exercise price paid for such shares. If the optionee disposes of the purchased shares before satisfying either of the required ISO holding periods, then the optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the ISO was exercised over the exercise price paid for the shares (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares). Any additional gain will be a capital gain and will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain depending on how long the shares were held by the optionee.

Nonstatutory Stock Options. No taxable income is recognized by an optionee upon the grant or vesting of an NSO, provided the NSO does not have a readily ascertainable fair market value. If the NSO does not have a readily ascertainable fair market value, the optionee will generally recognize ordinary income in the year in which the option is exercised equal to the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over the exercise price paid for the shares. If the optionee is an employee or former employee, the optionee will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income. Upon resale of the purchased shares, any subsequent appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the shares were held by the optionee.

Restricted Stock. A participant who receives an award of restricted stock generally does not recognize taxable income at the time of the award. Instead, the participant recognizes ordinary income when the shares vest, subject to withholding if the participant is an employee or former employee. The amount of taxable income is equal to the fair market value of the shares on the vesting date(s) less the amount, if any, paid for the shares. Alternatively, a participant may make a one-time election to

25

recognize income at the time the participant receives restricted stock in an amount equal to the fair market value of the restricted stock (less any amount paid for the shares) on the date of the award by making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards. In general, no taxable income results upon the grant of an RSU. The recipient will generally recognize ordinary income, subject to withholding if the recipient is an employee or former employee, equal to the fair market value of the shares that are delivered to the recipient upon settlement of the RSU. Upon resale of the shares acquired pursuant to an RSU, any subsequent appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the shares were held by the recipient.

Stock Appreciation Rights. In general, no taxable income results upon the grant of a SAR.A participant will generally recognize ordinary income in the year of exercise equal to the value of the shares or other consideration received. In the case of a current or former employee, this amount is subject to withholding.

Section 409A. The foregoing description assumes that Section 409A of the Code does not apply to an award. In general, options and stock appreciation rights are exempt from Section 409A if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the fair market value per share of the underlying stock at the time the option or stock appreciation right was granted. RSUs are subject to Section 409A unless they are settled within two and one half months after the end of the later of (a) the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which vesting occurs or (b) the end of the calendar year in which vesting occurs. Restricted stock awards are not generally subject to Section 409A. If an award is subject to Section 409A and the provisions for the exercise or settlement of that award do not comply with Section 409A, then the participant would be required to recognize ordinary income whenever a portion of the award vested (regardless of whether it had been exercised or settled). This amount would also be subject to a 20% U.S. federal tax in addition to the U.S. federal income tax at the participant’s usual marginal rate for ordinary income.

Registration with the SEC

If the Equity Incentive Plan is approved by the Champions’s shareholders and becomes effective, the Company intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Resolution to be Voted on

The full text of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal resolution is as follows:

“RESOLVED, that the Champions Oncology, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, the form of which is appended to the proxy statement as Annex 1, be APPROVED and adopted in all respects.”

Required Vote for Approval

The approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, vote at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the Proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE 2021 EQUITY INCENTIVEPLAN.

Other Matters

The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matter which may be presented for action at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, but should any other matter requiring a vote of the stockholders arise at the 2021 Annual Meeting, it is intended that the proxies will be voted with respect thereto in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting the proxies, discretionary authority to do so being included in the proxy.

The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company.

Officers and directors may also solicit proxies.

26

As a matter of policy, the Company will accord confidentiality to the votes of individual stockholders, whether submitted by proxy or ballot, except in limited circumstances, including any contested election, or as may be necessary to meet legal requirements. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by the Company and will determine whether or not a quorum is present. Abstentions will be treated as Shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but as unvoted for purposes of determining the approval of any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote.

Any stockholder desiring to present a proposal at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and wishing to have that proposal included in the Proxy Statement for that meeting must submit the same in writing to the Secretary of the Company at One University Plaza, Suite 307, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601, in time to be received by no earlier than April 1, 2022 and no later than May 1, 2022.

ANNEX 1

CHAMPIONS ONCOLOGY, INC.

2021 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

1.Purpose. The Champions Oncology, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to provide incentives which will attract, retain and motivate highly competent persons as officers, employees and non-employee directors (“Director Participants”), of, and consultants to, Champions Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries by providing them opportunities to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), or to receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares pursuant to the Benefits (as defined below) described herein. Additionally, the Plan is intended to assist in further aligning the interests of the Company’s officers, employees and consultants to those of its other stockholders.

2.Administration.

a.The Plan will be administered by a committee (the “Committee”) appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company from among its members (which may be the Compensation Committee) and shall be comprised, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, solely of not less than two members who shall be “Non-Employee Directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) (or any successor rule) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish such rules and regulations as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations and interpretations and to take such action in connection with the Plan and any Benefits granted hereunder as it deems necessary or advisable. All determinations and interpretations made by the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on all participants and their legal representatives. No member of the Committee and no employee of the Company shall be liable for any act or failure to act hereunder, except in circumstances involving bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for any act or failure to act hereunder by any other member or employee or by any agent to whom duties in connection with the administration of this Plan have been delegated. The Company shall indemnify members of the Committee and any agent of the Committee who is an employee of the Company or a subsidiary against any and all liabilities or expenses to which they may be subjected by reason of any act or failure to act with respect to their duties on behalf of the Plan, except in circumstances involving such person’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

b.The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members, or to one or more agents, such administrative duties as it may deem advisable, and the Committee, or any person to whom it has delegated duties as aforesaid, may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. The Committee may employ such legal or other counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any opinion or computation received from any such counsel, consultant or agent. Expenses incurred by the Committee in the engagement of such counsel, consultant or agent shall be paid by the Company or the subsidiary whose employees have benefited from the Plan, as determined by the Committee.

3.Participants. Participants will consist of such officers, employees and Director Participants of, and such consultants to, the Company and its subsidiaries as the Committee in its sole discretion determines to be significantly responsible for the success and future growth and profitability of the Company and whom the Committee may designate from time to time to receive Benefits under the Plan. Designation of a participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such person to receive a Benefit in any other year or, once designated, to receive the same type or amount of Benefit as granted to the participant in any other year. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting participants and in determining the type and amount of their respective Benefits.

4.Type of Benefits. Benefits under the Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of (a) Stock Options, (b) Stock Appreciation Rights, (c) Stock Awards, (d) Performance Awards and (e) Stock Units (each as described below, and collectively, the “Benefits”). Benefits shall be evidenced by agreements (which need not be identical) in such forms as the Committee may from time to time approve; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and any such agreements, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail.

5.Common Stock Available Under the Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Benefits, including Incentive Stock Options, granted under this Plan shall be 2,000,000 shares, which may be authorized and unissued or treasury shares, subject to any adjustments in accordance with Section 13 hereof. Any shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right which for any reason is cancelled or terminated without having been exercised, any shares subject to Stock Awards, Performance Awards or Stock Units which are forfeited, any shares subject to Performance Awards settled in cash, any shares delivered to the Company as

30

part or full payment for the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or any shares delivered to the Company in satisfaction of any tax withholding arising in connection with any Benefit consisting of shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, shall again be available for Benefits under the Plan.

6.Stock Options. Stock Options will consist of awards from the Company that will enable the holder to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock, at set terms. Stock Options may be “incentive stock options”, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”, which awards shall be “Incentive Stock Options”), or Stock Options which do not constitute Incentive Stock Options (“Nonqualified Stock Options”); provided, however, that grants of Incentive Stock Options may only be made to employees of the Company, a subsidiary corporation or parent corporation and that Incentive Stock Option grants made prior to approval of the grant of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan by stockholders of the Company shall be subject to such approval and provided, further, that if stockholder approval of the grant of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan is not obtained within twelve months of adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors, any Stock Option granted during the twelve month period after adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors that is designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall be treated thereafter as Nonqualified Stock Option. The Committee will have the authority to grant to any participant, including officers, employees, Director Participants, and consultants, Nonqualified Stock Options, or, for those participants who are employees of the Company, a subsidiary corporation or parent corporation both types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights). Each Stock Option shall be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the Plan as the Committee may impose from time to time, subject to the following limitations:

a.Exercise Price. Each Stock Option granted hereunder shall have such per-share exercise price as the Committee may determine at the date of grant provided that such per share exercise price shall be at least equal to the Fair Market Value; subject to subsection (d), below.

b.Payment of Exercise Price. The option exercise price may be paid by

i.cash;

ii.check;

iii.surrender of other shares of Common Stock which (A) shall be valued at its fair market value on the date of exercise, and (B) must be owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, if accepting such shares, in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company;

iv.if approved by the Committee, as determined in its sole discretion, by a broker-assisted cashless exercise in accordance with procedures approved by the Committee, whereby payment of the exercise price or tax withholding obligations may be satisfied, in whole or in part, with shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to sell shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate exercise price and, if applicable, the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations; or

v.by any other means approved by the Committee, as determined in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, by delivery of a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, pursuant to which the participant shall receive the number of shares underlying the Stock Option so exercised reduced by the number of shares equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Stock Option divided by the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

c.Exercise Period. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no Stock Option shall be exercisable later than ten years after the date it is granted. All Stock Options shall terminate at such earlier times and upon such conditions or circumstances as the Committee shall in its discretion set forth in such Stock Option agreement at the date of grant; provided, however, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, later waive any such condition.

d.Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to participants who are employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code) at the date of grant. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Stock Option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a participant during any calendar year (under all option plans of the Company and of any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation (as defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively)) shall not exceed $100,000. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they are granted. The per-share exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, and no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised later than ten years after the date it is granted; provided, however, Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to any participant who, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing (after the application of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company, unless the exercise price is fixed at not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the exercise of such option is prohibited by its terms after the expiration of five years from the date

31

of grant of such option. If shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of within two (2) years following the grant date or one (1) year following the transfer of such shares to the participant upon exercise, the participant shall, promptly following such disposition, notify the Committee in writing of the date and terms of such disposition and provide such other information regarding the disposition as the Committee may reasonably require.

e.Post-Severance Exercises. Upon termination of employment of any employee, termination of service on the Board of Directors of a Director Participant or of the continuing services of any consultant with the Company and all subsidiary corporations and parent corporations of the Company, any Stock Option previously granted to the employee, Director Participant or consultant, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the Stock Option agreement, shall, to the extent not theretofore exercised, terminate and become null and void; provided, however, that:

i.if the employee, Director Participant or consultant shall die while in the employ or service of such corporation at a time when such employee, Director Participant or consultant was entitled to exercise a Stock Option as herein provided, the legal representative of such employee, Director Participant or consultant, or such person who acquired such Stock Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the employee, Director Participant or consultant, may, not later than eighteen (18) months from the date of death, exercise such Stock Option, to the extent not theretofore exercised, in respect of any or all of such number of shares of Common Stock as specified by the Committee in such Stock Option agreement; and

ii.if the employment of any employee or the continuing services of any Director Participant or consultant to whom such Stock Option shall have been granted shall terminate by reason of the employee’s, Director Participant’s or consultant’s retirement (at such age or upon such conditions as shall be specified by the Committee), disability (as described in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), voluntary resignation by the participant or dismissal by the employer other than for cause (as defined below), and while such employee, Director Participant or consultant is entitled to exercise such Stock Option as herein provided, such employee, Director Participant or consultant shall have the right to exercise such Stock Option so granted in respect of any or all of such number of shares as specified by the Committee in such Stock Option agreement, at any time up to and including ninety (90) days after the date of such termination.

In no event, however, shall any person be entitled to exercise any Stock Option after the expiration of the period of exercisability of such Stock Option or right, as specified in such Stock Option agreement at the date of grant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an employee, Director Participant or consultant is discharged “for cause,” any Stock Option granted hereunder shall, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the Stock Option agreement, forthwith terminate with respect to any unexercised portion thereof.

If a Stock Option granted hereunder shall be exercised by the legal representative of a deceased participant or by a person who acquired a Stock Option granted hereunder by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of any employee, Director Participant or consultant or former employee, former Director Participant or former consultant, written notice of such exercise shall be accompanied by a certified copy of letters testamentary or equivalent proof of the right of such legal representative or other person to exercise such Stock Option.

For the purposes of the Plan, the term “for cause” shall mean (a) with respect to an employee, Director Participant or consultant who is a party to a written service agreement with, or, alternatively, participates in a compensation or benefit plan of the Company or a subsidiary corporation or parent corporation of the Company, which agreement or plan contains a definition of “for cause” or “cause” (or words of like import) for purposes of termination of employment or services thereunder by the Company or such subsidiary corporation or parent corporation of the Company, “for cause” or “cause” as defined therein; or (b) in all other cases, as determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, (i) the willful commission by an employee, Director Participant or consultant of an act that causes or may cause substantial damage to the Company or a subsidiary corporation or parent corporation of the Company; (ii) the commission by an employee, Director Participant or consultant of any felony or any crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (iii) intentional, material violation of any contract or agreement between the participant and the Company or any statutory duty owed by the participant to the Company or (iv) gross insubordination or the continuing failure of an employee, Director Participant or consultant to perform the duties of such employee, Director Participant or consultant to the Company or a subsidiary corporation or parent corporation of the Company after written notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity to be heard and cure such failure are given to the employee, Director Participant or consultant by the Committee.

For the purposes of the Plan, an employment relationship shall be deemed to exist between an individual and a corporation if, at the time of the determination, the individual was an “employee” of such corporation for purposes of Section 422(a) of the Code. If an individual is on leave of absence taken with the consent of the corporation by which such individual was employed, or is on active military service, and is determined to be an “employee” for purposes of the exercise of a Stock Option, such individual shall not be entitled to exercise such Stock Option during such period unless such individual shall have obtained the

32

prior written consent of such corporation, which consent shall be signed by the chairman of the board of directors, the president, a senior vice-president or other duly authorized officer of such corporation.

A termination of employment or services shall not be deemed to occur by reason of (i) the transfer of an employee or consultant from employment or retention by the Company to employment or retention by a subsidiary corporation or a parent corporation of the Company or (ii) the transfer of an employee or consultant from employment or retention by a subsidiary corporation or a parent corporation of the Company to employment or retention by the Company or by another subsidiary corporation or parent corporation of the Company. Termination of a consultant’s services shall be considered to occur when the consultant ceases to perform services on a regular basis; provided, however, termination of a consultant’s services shall not be deemed to occur where the termination of services is due to such consultant becoming an employee of the Company or a subsidiary corporation or a parent corporation.

In the event an employee changes status to a consultant, all Stock Option grants shall continue for the remainder of the exercise period, provided, however, any Incentive Stock Options shall, three (3) months after termination of employment, be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for the remainder of the exercise period.

In the event of the complete liquidation or dissolution of a subsidiary corporation, or if such corporation ceases to be a subsidiary corporation, any unexercised Stock Options theretofore granted to any person employed by or rendering consulting services to such subsidiary corporation will be deemed cancelled unless such person is employed by or renders continuing services to the Company or by any parent corporation or another subsidiary corporation after the occurrence of such event. If a Stock Option is to be cancelled pursuant to the provisions of the previous sentence, notice of such cancellation will be given to each employee or consultant holding unexercised Stock Options, and such holder will have the right to exercise such Stock Options in full during the thirty (30) day period following notice of such cancellation.

a.Each Stock Option issued under this Section 6 shall be fully vested and exercisable, unless otherwise specified in the Stock Option agreement.

b.Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, and except for the adjustments provided for in Section 13, neither the Committee nor any other person may (i) amend the terms of outstanding Stock Options to reduce the exercise or grant price of such outstanding Stock Options; (ii) cancel outstanding Stock Options in exchange for Stock Options with an exercise or grant price that is less than the exercise or grant price of the original Stock Options; or (iii) cancel outstanding Stock Options with an exercise or grant price above the current Fair Market Value of a share in exchange for cash or other securities. In addition, the Committee may not make a grant of a Stock Option with a grant date that is effective prior to the date the Committee takes action to approve such Stock Option.

7.Stock Appreciation Rights.

a.The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Appreciation Rights to the holders of any Stock Options granted hereunder. In addition, Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted independently of, and without relation to, Stock Options. A Stock Appreciation Right means a right to receive a payment in cash, Common Stock or a combination thereof, in an amount equal to the excess of (x) the Fair Market Value, or other specified valuation, of a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the date the right is exercised over (y) the Fair Market Value, or other specified valuation (which shall be no less than the Fair Market Value) of such shares of Common Stock on the date the right is granted, all as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that if a Stock Appreciation Right is granted in substitution for a Stock Option, the designated Fair Market Value in the award agreement may be the Fair Market Value on the date such Stock Option was granted. Each Stock Appreciation Right shall be fully vested unless otherwise specified in the award agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall impose from time to time.

b.Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable later than ten years after the date it is granted. All Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate at such earlier times and upon such conditions or circumstances as the Committee shall in its discretion set forth in such award agreement at the date of grant.

c.The exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right after termination of employment of any employee, termination of service on the Board of Directors of a Director Participant or of the continuing services of any consultant with the Company and all subsidiary corporations and parent corporations of the Company, shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth in Section 6(e) above.

8.Stock Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Awards (which may include mandatory payment of bonus incentive compensation in stock) consisting of Common Stock issued or transferred to participants with or without other payments therefor. Stock Awards may be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, restrictions on the sale or other disposition of such shares and the right of the Company to reacquire such shares for no consideration upon termination of the participant’s employment. Each Stock Award shall be fully vested unless otherwise specified in the award agreement. The Committee may

33

require the participant to deliver a duly signed stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such Stock Award. The Committee may also require that the stock certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody or bear restrictive legends until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed. The Stock Award shall specify whether the participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award, all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company, including the right to receive dividends and to vote the shares. If the Stock Award includes the right to receive dividends or distributions: (a) any dividends or distributions paid in shares shall be subject to the same restrictions (and shall therefore be forfeitable to the same extent) as the Stock Award with respect to which they were paid, and (b) any dividends or distributions paid in cash shall be subject to the same restrictions as the related Stock Award, in which case they shall be accumulated (without interest) until vested and paid or forfeited when the related shares of Common Stock become non-forfeitable or are forfeited, as the case may be. In no event shall any cash dividend or distribution be paid later than 2½ months after the tax year in which the dividend or distribution becomes non-forfeitable.

9.Performance Awards.

a.Performance Awards may be granted to participants at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number, amount and timing of awards granted to each participant. Such Performance Awards may be in the form of shares of Common Stock or Stock Units. Performance Awards may be awarded as short-term or long-term incentives. Performance targets may be based upon, without limitation, Company-wide, divisional and/or individual performance.

b.The Committee shall have the authority at any time to make adjustments to performance targets for any outstanding Performance Awards which the Committee deems necessary or desirable unless at the time of establishment of such targets the Committee shall have precluded its authority to make such adjustments.

c.Payment of earned Performance Awards shall be made in accordance with terms and conditions prescribed or authorized by the Committee. The participant may elect to defer, or the Committee may require or permit the deferral of, the receipt of Performance Awards upon such terms as the Committee deems appropriate.

10.Stock Units.

a.The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Units to participants hereunder. The Committee shall determine the criteria for the vesting of Stock Units. A Stock Unit granted by the Committee shall provide payment at such time as the award agreement shall specify. Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 10 may be issued with or without other payments therefor as may be required by applicable law or such other consideration as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall determine whether a participant granted a Stock Unit shall be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Right (as defined below), although any Dividend Equivalent Right shall be subject to the same restrictions as the related Stock Units, in which case they shall be accumulated (without interest) during the period of restriction and paid or forfeited when the related Stock Units are paid or forfeited, as the case may be.

b.Upon vesting of a Stock Unit, unless the participant has elected to defer payment under subsection (c) below, shares of Common Stock representing the Stock Units shall be distributed to the participant unless the Committee provides for the payment of the Stock Units in cash or partly in cash and partly in shares of Common Stock equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be distributed to the participant.

c.A participant may elect not to receive a distribution upon the vesting of such Stock Unit and for the Company to continue to maintain the Stock Unit on its books of account. Any such election shall be in conformity with Section 409A of the Code and in such event, the value of a Stock Unit shall be payable in shares of Common Stock pursuant to the agreement of deferral.

d.A “Stock Unit” means a notional account representing one share of Common Stock. A “Dividend Equivalent Right” means the right to receive the amount of any dividend paid on the share of Common Stock underlying a Stock Unit, which shall be payable in cash or in the form of additional Stock Units.

11.Securities Laws. The Committee shall have the power to make each grant under the Plan subject to such conditions as it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the then-existing requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, including Rule 16b-3 (or any similar rule) of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or a Stock Option agreement to the contrary, if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option should be delayed pending registration or qualification under federal or state securities laws or the receipt of a legal opinion that an appropriate exemption from the application of federal or state securities laws is available, the Committee may defer exercise of any Stock Option until such shares are appropriately registered or qualified or an appropriate legal opinion has been received, as applicable.

12.Foreign Laws. The Committee may grant Benefits to individual participants who are subject to the tax laws of nations other than the United States, which Benefits may have terms and conditions as determined by the Committee as necessary to comply with applicable foreign laws. The Committee may take any action which it deems advisable to

34

obtain approval of such Benefits by the appropriate foreign governmental entity; provided, however, that no such Benefits may be granted pursuant to this Section 12 and no action may be taken which would result in a violation of the Exchange Act, the Code or any other applicable law.

13.Adjustment Provisions; Change in Control.

a.If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company or the capitalization of the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like change in capital structure or distribution to stockholders of the Company (other than normal cash dividends), in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights under the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall adjust, in an equitable manner, as applicable, the number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Benefits, the exercise price applicable to outstanding Benefits, and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock and other value determinations applicable to outstanding Benefits. Appropriate adjustments may also be made by the Committee in the terms of any Benefits under the Plan to reflect such changes or distributions and to modify any other terms of outstanding Benefits on an equitable basis, including modifications of performance targets and changes in the length of performance periods. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Benefits in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each such adjustment with respect to an Incentive Stock Option shall comply with the rules of Section 424(a) of the Code, and (ii) in no event shall any adjustment be made which would render any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder other than an incentive stock option for purposes of Section 422 of the Code. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be conclusive and binding on participants under the Plan.

b.In the event of a Change in Control, each Benefit (vested or unvested) will be treated as the Committee determines, which determination may be made without the consent of any participant and need not treat all outstanding Benefits (or portion thereof) in an identical manner. Such determination, without the consent of any participant, may provide (without limitation) for one or more of the following in the event of a Change in Control:

i.continuation or assumption of such outstanding Benefits under the Plan by the Company (if it is the surviving company or corporation) or by the surviving company or corporation or its parent;

ii.substitution by the surviving company or corporation or its parent of equity, equity-based and/or cash awards with substantially the same terms for outstanding Benefits (excluding the consideration payable upon settlement of the Benefits);

iii.accelerated exercisability, vesting and/or lapse of restrictions under outstanding Benefits immediately prior to the occurrence of such event;

iv.upon written notice, provide that any outstanding Benefits must be exercised, to the extent then exercisable, during a reasonable period of time immediately prior to the scheduled consummation of the event or such other period as determined by the Committee (contingent upon the consummation of the event), and at the end of such period, such Benefits shall terminate to the extent not so exercised within the relevant period;

v.cancellation of all or any portion of outstanding Benefits for fair value (in the form of cash, shares, other property or any combination thereof) as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and which value may be zero; provided, that in the case of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or similar awards, the fair value may equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control transaction to holders of the same number of shares subject to such Benefits (or, if no such consideration is paid, Fair Market Value of the shares subject to such outstanding Benefits or portion thereof being cancelled) over the aggregate exercise price or grant price, as applicable, with respect to such Benefits or portion thereof being cancelled, or if no such excess, zero; provided, further, that if any payments or other consideration are deferred and/or contingent as a result of escrows, earn outs, holdbacks or any other contingencies, payments under this provision may be made on substantially the same terms and conditions applicable to, and only to the extent actually paid to, the holders of shares in connection with the Change in Control; and

vi.cancellation of all or any portion of outstanding unvested and/or unexercisable Benefits for no consideration.

c.For purposes of Section 13(b), a “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred upon the earliest of the following events:

i.Change in Ownership: A change in ownership of the Company occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, excluding the acquisition of additional stock by a person or more than one person acting as a group who is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company.

35

ii.Change in Effective Control: A change in effective control of the Company occurs on the date that either:

a.Any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the Company possessing 30% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; or

b.A majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the board of directors before the date of the appointment or election; provided, that this paragraph (B) will apply only to the Company if no other corporation is a majority stockholder.

iii.Change in Ownership of Substantial Assets: A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of the assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, “gross fair market value” means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

It is the intent that this definition be construed consistent with the definition of “Change in Control” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the applicable treasury regulations, as amended from time to time.

1.Nontransferability. Each Benefit granted under the Plan to a participant shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable, during the participant’s lifetime, only by the participant. In the event of the death of a participant, each Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right theretofore granted to the participant shall be exercisable during such period after the participant’s death as the Committee shall in its discretion set forth in the award agreement at the date of grant and then only by the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased participant or the person or persons to whom the deceased participant’s rights under the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the discretion of the Committee, an award of a Benefit, other than an Incentive Stock Option, to any director, officer or employee of the Company may permit the transferability of a Benefit by such participant solely to the participant’s spouse, siblings, parents, children and grandchildren or trusts for the benefit of such persons or partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies or other entities owned solely by such persons, including trusts for such persons, subject to any restriction included in the award of the Benefit.

2.Other Provisions. The award of any Benefit under the Plan may also be subject to such other provisions (whether or not applicable to the Benefit awarded to any other participant) as the Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, for the installment purchase of Common Stock under Stock Options, for the installment exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights, to assist the participant in financing the acquisition of Common Stock, for the forfeiture of, or restrictions on resale or other disposition of, Common Stock acquired under any form of Benefit, for the acceleration of exercisability or vesting of Benefits in the event of a change in control of the Company, for the payment of the value of Benefits to participants in the event of a change in control of the Company, or understandings or conditions as to the participant’s employment in addition to those specifically provided for under the Plan. In addition, the Committee shall have the right to accelerate, in whole or in part, from time to time, conditionally or unconditionally, rights to exercise any Stock Option granted hereunder.

3.Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Plan and any Benefits awarded hereunder, Fair Market Value shall be (a) the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of calculation (or on the last preceding trading date if Common Stock was not traded on such date) if the Company’s Common Stock is readily tradeable on a national securities exchange or other market system, (b) if the Company’s Common Stock is not readily tradeable, Fair Market Value shall mean the amount determined in good faith by the Committee as the fair market value of the Common Stock of the Company and (c) in connection with a Change in Control or an event specified in Section 13(a), the value of the consideration paid to stockholders in connection with such Change in Control or event or if no consideration is paid in respect thereof, the amount determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b), above.

4.Withholding. All payments or distributions of Benefits made pursuant to the Plan shall be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. If the Company proposes or is required to distribute Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, it may require the recipient to remit to it or to the corporation that employs such recipient an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery of any certificates for such Common Stock. In lieu thereof, the Company or the employing corporation shall have the right to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due from such corporation to the recipient as the Committee shall prescribe. The Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt (including any as may be required to satisfy applicable tax and/or non-tax regulatory requirements), permit a participant to pay all or a portion of the federal, state and local withholding taxes arising in connection with any Benefit consisting of shares of Common Stock by electing to have the Company withhold shares

36

of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld, such tax calculated at rates required by statute or regulation.

5.Tenure. A participant’s right, if any, to continue to serve the Company or any of its subsidiaries as an officer, employee, or otherwise, shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by designation as a participant under the Plan.

6.Code Section 280G. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any agreement between a participant and the Company or an affiliate, if the receipt of any payment by a participant under the circumstances described above would result in the payment by the participant of any excise tax provided for in Section 280G and Section 4999 of the Code, then the amount of such payment shall be reduced to the extent required to prevent the imposition of such excise tax.

7.Code Section 409A.

a.General.The Company intends that the Plan and all Benefits be construed to avoid the imposition of additional taxes, interest and penalties pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, although in no event shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a participant under Section 409A of the Code or for any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

b.Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or award agreement, any payments of nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a "specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A) as a result of a separation from service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A) shall be delayed for the first six months following such separation from service (or, if earlier, until the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the award agreement) on the day that immediately follows the end of such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. Any remaining payments of nonqualified deferred compensation shall be paid without delay and at the time or times such payments are otherwise scheduled to be made.

c.Separation from Service. A termination of service shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of the Plan or any award agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A upon or following a termination of service unless such termination is also a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A and the payment thereof prior to a "separation from service" would violate Section 409A.

8.Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any participant, beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

9.No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Benefit. The Committee shall determine whether cash, or Benefits, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

10.Duration, Amendment and Termination. No Benefit shall be granted more than ten years after the Effective Date. The Committee may amend the Plan from time to time or suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Nevertheless, if the Plan has been previously approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Committee may not, without obtaining approval within twelve months before or after such action by such vote of the Company’s stockholders as may be required, amend the Plan if such amendment would: (a) disqualify any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan; (b) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered through Stock Options under the Plan; (c) increase either of the maximum amounts which can be paid to an individual participant under the Plan as set forth in Section 5 hereof; or (d) modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan. The Committee may amend the terms of any Benefit theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of any participant without the participant’s consent.

11.Governing Law. This Plan, Benefits granted hereunder and actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable New York principles of conflict of laws).

12.Effective Date.

a.The Plan shall be effective as of August 30, 2021, the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Effective Date”).

b.This Plan shall terminate on August 29, 2031 (unless sooner terminated by the Committee).
