Explanatory Note:

Mr. Reynolds previously filed a statement of beneficial ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of VolitionRx Limited (the “Company”), on Schedule 13D pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13d-1 thereunder. On November 9, 2018, Mr. Reynolds filed Amendment No. 1 to the original statement to report his beneficial ownership expressed as a percentage of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock had declined by more than one percent (1%) from the prior filing. On March 1, 2021, Mr. Reynolds filed Amendment No. 2 to the original statement as amended to report his beneficial ownership expressed as a percentage of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock had declined by more than one percent (1%) from the prior filing.

While Mr. Reynolds’s beneficial ownership has increased to 2,868,465 shares of Common Stock from 2,674,167 shares of Common Stock reported in the Schedule 13D/A filed on March 1, 2021, his beneficial ownership expressed as a percentage of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock has decreased (i) by more than one percent (1%) from the prior filing and (ii) below five percent (5%) of the Company’s outstanding shares, as a result, primarily, of dilution from additional issuances of Common Stock by the Company since such date (as opposed to dispositions of shares by Mr. Reynolds).

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Company

(a) and (b)

As of the date hereof, the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by Mr. Reynolds is as follows (based upon 81,891,304 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, which number is based on: (i) 78,685,873 issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock as of November 7, 2023, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 14, 2023, plus (ii) 3,205,431 shares of Company common stock sold pursuant to a Private Placement with Wallonie Entreprendre S.A., as reported on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 5, 2023):

Mr. Reynolds has (i) sole investment and voting power with respect to 1,826,671 shares of Common Stock and may be deemed to have (ii) shared investment or voting power with respect to 34,076 shares of Common Stock held by his spouse, Charlotte Reynolds, and 1,007,718 shares of Common Stock held by Concord, of which Mr. Reynolds is the majority shareholder. In aggregate, Mr. Reynolds may be deemed to beneficially own 2,868,465 shares of Common Stock, which reflects an approximate 3.5% beneficial ownership of the Company.

Excluded from Mr. Reynolds’ beneficial ownership are 109,483 shares of Common Stock underlying unvested RSUs subject solely to time-based vesting and 467,850 shares of Common Stock underlying unvested RSUs subject to both performance-based vesting and time-based vesting, each as granted to Mr. Reynolds under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock upon vesting.

	·	16,717 shares of Common Stock underlying RSUs will vest in full on September 28, 2024;

	·	16,716 shares of Common Stock underlying RSUs will vest in full on September 28, 2026.

The unvested RSUs subject solely to time-based vesting noted in the bullets above are reported as shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Reynolds in his Section 16 reports pursuant to applicable provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and positions taken by the SEC; however, such RSUs do not vest within 60 days of the date of this Amendment and are therefore not included as beneficially owned by Mr. Reynolds in this Amendment.

The unvested RSUs subject to both performance-based vesting and time-based vesting are as follows:

	·	67,850 shares of Common Stock underlying RSUs will vest in full upon the achievement of certain performance goals on or prior to June 30, 2024 as determined by the Compensation Committee followed by vesting in equal annual installments over a three-year period on each of September 28, 2024, 2025 and 2026;

	·	200,000 shares of Common Stock underlying RSUs will vest in full upon achievement of a closing stock price target above $5.00 per share of the Company's common stock for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days prior to October 4, 2025, followed by vesting in a single installment six months from the achievement date, if at all; and.

	·	200,000 shares of Common Stock underlying RSUs will vest in full upon the achievement of a closing stock price target above $5.00 per share of the Company's common stock for a minimum of thirty consecutive trading days prior to October 19, 2026, followed by vesting in a single installment six months from the achievement date, if at all.
