Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 28, 2024, Renalytix plc (the “Company”) entered into a second amendment and restatement agreement (“Bond Agreement Amendment”) with CVI Investments, Inc. ("CVI"), which amended the terms of the Company’s existing bond agreement, dated March 31, 2022, with CVI (as amended by the amendment and restatement agreement, dated April 5, 2022, the “Original Bond Agreement”).

The Bond Agreement Amendment amends the Original Bond Agreement to, among other things:

•

implement a beneficial ownership limitation whereby each bondholder, together with its affiliates, must not at any time own or acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company;

•

adjust the bondholder’s’ maximum trading volume by removing a cap on the number of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) that can be sold each day and reduces the length of certain non-trading periods applicable to the bondholders;

•

reduce certain market price observation periods to 5 days and 3 days (rather than 10 days and 5 days);

•

grant the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the bonds issued thereunder and then-outstanding (the “Majority Bondholders”) the right to defer the amortization payment scheduled for 7 April 2024 (the “April 2024 Amortized Payment Amount”) in addition to the deferrals already permitted as well as the right to accelerate the April 2024 Amortized Payment Amount if previously deferred in addition to the accelerations already permitted; and

•

in addition to the existing right to accelerate the next scheduled amortization payment, provide the Majority Bondholders the ability to accelerate any other future scheduled amortization payment, subject to certain limitations.

The foregoing summary of the Bond Amendment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
