EXPLANATORY NOTE
On December 17, 2025, subject to stockholder approval, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Lite Strategy, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the Lite Strategy, Inc. 2026 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on February 12, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). The number of shares of common stock, $0.00000002 par value (the “Common Stock”), authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan is equal to (i) 2,000,000 newly authorized shares (the “Newly Authorized Shares”), plus (ii) any shares that remained available for issuance under the Amended and Restated MEI Pharma, Inc. 2008 Stock Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Prior Plan”) as of the Effective Date and shares underlying any outstanding awards granted under the Prior Plan that, following the Effective Date, expire, or are terminated, surrendered, cancelled, exchanged, or forfeited, for any reason without issuance of such shares (the “Prior Plan Shares”). The Company is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) to register the offer and sale of an aggregate of 2,542,050 shares of Common Stock, which consists of (i) the 2,000,000 Newly Authorized Shares and (ii) 542,050 Prior Plan Shares.

The documents containing the information concerning the Plan required by Part I of this Registration Statement will be sent or given to Plan participants as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Such documents are not filed as part of this Registration Statement in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) either as part of this Registration Statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. These documents, and the documents incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of this Registration Statement, taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The Company incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents which the Company previously filed with the Commission:
All documents subsequently filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered herein have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents.
Any statement contained herein or in a document, all or a portion of which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) authorizes a corporation’s board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors, and other corporate agents.
As permitted by Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, no director will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Pursuant to Delaware law such protection would be not available for liability:
|
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; |
|
any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
|
an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by an applicable statute, including unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or |
|
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Our certificate of incorporation also provides that if Delaware law is amended after the approval by our stockholders of the certificate of incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Our bylaws further provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our bylaws also authorize us to indemnify any of our employees or agents and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent for any liability arising out of his or her action in that capacity, whether or not Delaware law would otherwise permit indemnification.
In addition, our bylaws also provide that we are required to advance expenses to our directors and officers as incurred in connection with legal proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified and that the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers.
These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify each director and officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, for expenses such as, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, arising out of the person’s services as our director or executive officer or as the director or executive officer of any subsidiary of ours or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We also have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
The Commission has taken the position that personal liability of directors for violation of the federal securities laws cannot be limited and that indemnification by us for any such violation is unenforceable. The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
