TABLE OF CONTENTS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

Why am I receiving these materials?

We have sent you these proxy materials because the Board of Directors (sometimes referred to as the “Board”) of Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), including at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting in person to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card, or follow the instructions below to submit your proxy through the internet.

We intend to mail these proxy materials on October 17, 2022 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, October 28, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) at the Sheraton Grand Seattle located at 1400 6^th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101. Information on how to vote in person at the Annual Meeting is discussed below. Please call us at (704) 605-1325 if you need assistance with directions to the Annual Meeting.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on September 28, 2022 (the “record date”) will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 25,633,217 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If on September 28, 2022 your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card or vote by proxy through the internet to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Nominee

If on September 28, 2022 your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy issued in your name from that record holder.

What am I voting on?

There are two matters scheduled for a vote:

What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting?

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

How do I vote?

You may either vote “For” all the nominees to the Board of Directors or you may “Withhold” your vote for any nominee you specify. For each of the other matters to be voted on, you may vote “For” or “Against” or abstain from voting.

The procedures for voting are fairly simple:

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote at the Annual Meeting, vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card or vote by proxy through the internet. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote at the Annual Meeting even if you have already voted by proxy.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Nominee

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you should have received a voting instruction form with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. To vote prior to the Annual Meeting, simply complete and mail the voting instruction form to ensure that your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may vote over the internet as instructed by your broker, bank or other nominee. To vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy issued in your name from your broker, bank or other nominee. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee included with these proxy materials, or contact that organization to request a proxy form.

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of September 28, 2022.

If I am a stockholder of record and I do not vote, or if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote without giving specific voting instructions, what happens?

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing your proxy card, through the internet or in person at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted.

If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable, “For” the election of Board of Directors’ nominees, Nat Calloway, Areta Kupchyk and Kenneth Lin, to the Board of Directors to hold office until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as Class II directors and “For” the ratification of the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of EisnerAmper LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his best judgment.

If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and I do not provide my broker, bank or other nominee with voting instructions, what happens?

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee may still be able to vote your shares in its discretion. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), brokers, banks and other nominees that are subject to the NYSE rules may use their discretion to vote your “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters considered to be “routine” under NYSE rules, but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. In this regard, Proposal 1 is considered to be “non-routine” under NYSE rules meaning that your broker, bank or other nominee may not vote your shares on Proposal 1 in the absence of your voting instructions. However, Proposal 2 is considered to be a “routine” matter under the NYSE rules meaning that if you do not return voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee by its deadline, your shares may be voted by your broker, bank or other nominee in its discretion on Proposal 2.

If you a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and you do not plan to attend the Annual Meeting, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would prefer, you must provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We will, upon request, also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other nominees for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?

If you receive more than one set of proxy materials, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on the proxy cards in the proxy materials to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

Your most current proxy card or internet proxy is the one that is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Nominee

If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee.

When are stockholder proposals and director nominations due for next year’s annual meeting?

To be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy materials, your proposal must be submitted in writing by June 19, 2023 to our Secretary at 1415 Ranch Road 620 South, Suite 201, Lakeway, Texas 78734.

If you wish to submit a proposal (including a director nomination) at the meeting that is not to be included in next year’s proxy materials, you must deliver your notice to our Secretary at the address above not later than the close of business on July 30, 2023, nor earlier than the close of business on June 30, 2023; provided, however, that in the event the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days prior to the one year anniversary date of this Annual Meeting, notice must be delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90^th day prior to such annual meeting and the 10^th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by us. Your notice to our Secretary must set forth the information specified in our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”), including your name and address and the class, series and number of shares of our stock that you beneficially own. You are advised to review our Bylaws, which contain additional requirements related to advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our Board of Director’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth any additional information required by Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If a stockholder’s written notice is not received between the dates specified in the immediately preceding paragraph and does not satisfy these additional informational requirements, the notice will not be considered properly submitted and will not be acted upon at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count, for Proposal 1, votes “For,” “Withhold” and broker non-votes; and, for Proposal 2, votes “For” and “Against,” and abstentions. Abstentions will be counted towards the vote total for Proposal 2 and will have the same effect as “Against” votes. Broker non-votes will have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total.

What are “broker non-votes”?

As discussed above, when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give voting instructions to such beneficial owner’s broker, bank or other nominee holding such beneficial owner’s shares as to how to vote on matters deemed to be “non-routine” under NYSE rules, the broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote the shares. These un-voted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.” Proposal 1 is considered to be “non-routine” under NYSE rules and we therefore expect broker non-votes to exist in connection with Proposal 1.

As a reminder, if you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would prefer, you must provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

For Proposal 1, the election of Board of Directors’ nominees, Nat Calloway, Areta Kupchyk and Kenneth Lin, to the Board of Directors to hold office until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as Class II directors, the two nominees receiving the most “For” votes from the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors will be elected. Only votes “For” will affect the outcome.

To be approved, Proposal 2, ratification of the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of EisnerAmper LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, must receive “For” votes from the holders of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. If you “Abstain” from voting, it will have the same effect as an “Against” vote.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are present at the Annual Meeting in person or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were 25,633,217 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, the holders of 12,816,609 shares must be present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting to have a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, either the chair of the meeting or the holders of a majority of shares present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy may adjourn the Annual Meeting to another date.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K that we expect to file within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

What proxy materials are available on the internet?

The proxy statement and annual report to stockholders are available at https://ir.anebulo.com.

Proposal 1

Election Of Directors

Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes and each class has a three-year term. Vacancies on the Board may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy in a class, including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors, shall serve for the remainder of the full term of that class and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified.

The Board of Directors presently has seven members. The nominees for election at the Annual Meeting are Areta Kupchyk and Kenneth Lin, who are the two current Class II directors with a term of office that expires at the Annual Meeting, and Nat Calloway, Ph.D, a director nominee.. If elected at the Annual Meeting, each of these nominees would serve until the 2025 annual meeting and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or, if sooner, until the director’s death, resignation or removal. It is the Company’s policy to encourage, but not require, directors and nominees for director to attend the Annual Meeting. All of the directors attended the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in person or by video conference.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Accordingly, the three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of the three nominees named below. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, shares that would have been voted for that nominee will instead be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by us. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected. The Company’s management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

The following is a brief biography of each nominee and each director whose term will continue after the Annual Meeting.

information regarding the board of directors and corporate governance

Independence of The Board of Directors

As required under the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. The Board consults with the Company’s counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent Nasdaq listing standards as in effect from time to time.

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant identified transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, its senior management and its independent auditors, the Board has affirmatively determined that all of our current directors, other than Dr. Lawler and Mr. Allen, are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards, and that Dr. Calloway would be an independent director within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards if he were currently a director of the Company. In making this determination, the Board found that none of these directors or nominees for director had a material or other disqualifying relationship with the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board of Directors of the Company has a Chairperson, Dr. Lawler, who has authority, among other things, to call and preside over Board meetings, to set meeting agendas and to determine materials to be distributed to the Board. Accordingly, the Chairperson has substantial ability to shape the work of the Board. The Company believes that separation of the positions of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer reinforces the independence of the Board in its oversight of the business and affairs of the Company. In addition, the Company believes that having a non-employee Chairperson creates an environment that is more conducive to objective evaluation and oversight of management’s performance, increasing management accountability and improving the ability of the Board to monitor whether management’s actions are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board has also appointed Dr. Lin as lead independent director to help reinforce the independence of the Board as a whole. The lead independent director duties and responsibilities include, among other things, to preside over Board meetings in the absence of the Chairperson, preside over and establish the agendas for meetings of the independent directors, act as liaison between the non-independent directors, including the Chairperson, and the independent directors. In addition, it is the responsibility of the lead independent director to coordinate between the Board and management with regard to the determination and implementation of responses to any problematic risk management issues. The Company believes that the combination of having a non-employee Chairperson and lead independent director helps ensure the effective independent functioning of the Board in its oversight responsibilities and enhances the effectiveness of the Board as a whole.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

We have a risk management program that is overseen by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Material risks are identified and prioritized by management and each prioritized risk is referred to the Board or a committee thereof. One of the Board’s key functions is informed oversight of our risk management process. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various Board standing committees that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including a determination of the nature and level of risk appropriate for the Company. While each committee is responsible for specific risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through committee reports about such risks. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. Our Audit Committee’s responsibilities also include oversight of cybersecurity risk management. Our Nominating and Governance Committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance practices, including whether they are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

Meetings of The Board of Directors

The Board of Directors met four times during the last fiscal year. Each Board member attended all of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he or she served, held during the portion of the last fiscal year for which he or she was a director or committee member.

Information Regarding Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board has three committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The following table provides membership and meeting information for fiscal 2022 for each of the Board committees:

Below is a description of each committee of the Board of Directors.

Each of the committees has authority to engage legal counsel or other experts or consultants, as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of each committee, including those who served on such committee in the last fiscal year, meets the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations regarding “independence” and each member is free of any relationship that would impair his or her individual exercise of independent judgment with regard to the Company.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee was established by the Board in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to oversee the Company’s corporate accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements. For this purpose, the Audit Committee performs several functions. The Audit Committee evaluates the performance of and assesses the qualifications of the independent auditors; determines and approves the engagement of the independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors or to appoint and engage new independent auditors; reviews and approves the retention of the independent auditors to perform any proposed permissible non-audit services; monitors the rotation of partners of the independent auditors on the Company’s audit engagement team as required by law; reviews and approves or rejects transactions between the company and any related persons; confers with management and the independent auditors regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; establishes procedures, as required under applicable law, for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; and meets to review the Company’s annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor, including a review of the Company’s disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The Audit Committee is composed of three directors: Mr. Aryeh (Chair), Dr. Lin and Ms. Parschauer. The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year. The Board has adopted a written Audit Committee charter that is available to stockholders on the Company’s website at https://ir.anebulo.com/corporate-governance.

The Board of Directors reviews the Nasdaq listing standards definition of independence for Audit Committee members on an annual basis and has determined that all members of the Company’s Audit Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(i) and (ii) of the Nasdaq listing standards).

The Board of Directors has also determined that Mr. Aryeh qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in applicable SEC rules. The Board made a qualitative assessment of Mr. Aryeh’s level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including his formal education and experience as a founder and managing general partner of a hedge fund.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors^*

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 with management of the Company. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountants’ communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the accounting firm’s independence. Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

*The material in this report is not “soliciting material,” is not deemed “filed” with the SEC and is not to be incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is composed of three directors: Ms. Kupchyk (Chair), Dr. Lin and Ms. Parschauer. All members of the Compensation Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(d)(2) of the Nasdaq listing standards. The Compensation Committee did not meet during the fiscal year but acted by written consent five times. The Board has adopted a written Compensation Committee charter that is available to stockholders on the Company’s website at https://ir.anebulo.com/corporate-governance.

The Compensation Committee acts on behalf of the Board to review, adopt or recommend for adoption and oversee the Company’s compensation strategy, policies, plans and programs, including:

Compensation Committee Processes and Procedures

Because the Company’s initial public offering was completed in May 2021 and no executive officers were eligible for bonuses or salary increases, the Compensation Committee has acted by written consent to approve executive officer employment agreements and the issuance of options rather than holding formal meetings. In the future, the Compensation Committee expects to meet at least once annually and with greater frequency if necessary. For future meetings, we expect that the agenda for each meeting will be developed by the Chair of the Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee expects to meet regularly in executive session during the fiscal year 2023. However, from time to time, various members of management and other employees as well as outside advisors or consultants may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, to provide financial or other background information or advice or to otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. The Chief Executive Officer may not participate in, or be present during, any deliberations or determinations of the Compensation Committee regarding his compensation or individual performance. The charter of the Compensation Committee grants the Compensation Committee full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company. In addition, under the charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to obtain, at the expense of the Company, advice and assistance from compensation consultants and internal and external legal, accounting or other advisors and other external resources that the Compensation Committee considers necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties. The Compensation Committee has direct responsibility for the oversight of the work of any consultants or advisers engaged for the purpose of advising the Committee. In particular, the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, in its sole discretion, compensation consultants to assist in its evaluation of executive and director compensation, including the authority to approve the consultant’s reasonable fees and other retention terms. Under the charter, the Compensation Committee may select, or receive advice from, a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to the compensation committee, other than in-house legal counsel and certain other types of advisers, only after taking into consideration six factors, prescribed by the SEC and Nasdaq, that bear upon the adviser’s independence; however, there is no requirement that any adviser be independent. During the past fiscal year, the Compensation Committee did not engage any compensation consultant.

Historically, annual compensation, bonus and equity awards have been set forth in an executive officer’s employment agreement which are approved by the full Board. In addition, our Chief Executive Officer has historically determined the personal and/or Company performance criteria for performance-based bonuses for eligible executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, but the decision to award such bonus is at the discretion of the full Board. Starting in calendar year 2023, the Compensation Committee expects to determine the personal and/or Company performance criteria for performance-based bonuses for our eligible executive officers in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and review and consider matters related to individual executive compensation.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for identifying, reviewing and evaluating candidates to serve as directors of the Company (consistent with criteria approved by the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee), reviewing and evaluating incumbent directors, selecting, or recommending to the Board for selection, candidates for election to the Board of Directors, making recommendations to the Board regarding the membership of the committees of the Board, assessing the performance of the Board, and, if determined to be appropriate, developing a set of corporate governance principles for the Company.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of three directors: Mr. Aryeh (Chair), Dr. Lin and Ms. Kupchyk. All members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent (as independence is currently defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq listing standards). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not meet during the fiscal year. The Board has adopted a written Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter that is available to stockholders on the Company’s website at https://ir.anebulo.com/corporate-governance.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications, including the ability to read and understand basic financial statements, being over 21 years of age, being in a position to properly exercise duties of loyalty and care and having the highest personal integrity and ethics. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also intends to consider such factors as possessing relevant expertise upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, proven leadership capabilities, having sufficient time to devote to the affairs of the Company, demonstrated excellence and experience with a high level of responsibility in his or her field, having the ability to exercise sound business judgment, having the ability to quickly understand complex principles of business and finance and having the commitment to rigorously represent the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee retains the right to modify these qualifications from time to time. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board, the operating requirements of the Company and the long-term interests of stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity (including gender, racial and ethnic diversity, as well as other self-identified diversity characteristics), age, skills and such other factors as it deems appropriate, given the current needs of the Board and the Company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee appreciates the value of thoughtful Board refreshment, and regularly identifies and considers qualities, skills and other director attributes that would enhance the composition of the Board. In the case of incumbent directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Committee reviews these directors’ overall service to the Company during their terms, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any other relationships and transactions that might impair the directors’ independence. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also take into account the results of the Board’s self-evaluation which we expect to conduct annually on a group and individual basis starting in 2023. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee is independent for Nasdaq purposes, which determination is based upon applicable Nasdaq listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations and the advice of counsel, if necessary. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider the candidates’ qualifications and then selects a nominee for recommendation to the Board by majority vote.

Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Equity-Based Incentive Awards

Our equity-based incentive awards are designed to align our named executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders and to retain and incentivize our named executive officers over the long-term. Generally, our Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, approves equity grants. Vesting of equity awards is generally tied to continuous service with us and serves as an additional retention measure. Our named executive officers generally are awarded an initial new hire grant upon commencement of employment. Additional grants may occur periodically in order to specifically incentivize our named executive officers with respect to achieving certain corporate goals or to reward our named executive officers for exceptional performance. We have granted all equity awards under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. All options are granted with a per share exercise price equal to no less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant of such award.

In February 2022, in connection with his appointment as our Chief Executive Officer, we granted Mr. Allen an option to purchase 625,000 shares of our common stock with a per share exercise price of $7.02. The option vests ratably in 16 quarterly installments over a four-year period from April 1, 2022 through January 1, 2026, subject to Mr. Allen’s continuous service with us. In addition, the option fully vests upon the closing of a Board approved sale of the Company, subject to Mr. Allen’s continuous service on the date of such Board approval.

The Time-Based Option fully vests upon the closing of a Board approved Reorganization Event (as defined in our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan), subject to Dr. Cundy’s continuous service on the date of such Board approval.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Transactions With Related Persons and indemnification

Related Person Transactions Policy and Procedures

In September 2021, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee adopted a written Related Person Transactions Policy, which was amended in October 2022, that sets forth the Company’s policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of “related party transactions.” For purposes of the Company’s policy only, a “related party transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company and any “related party” are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000 or, if less, 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end for the prior two completed fiscal years. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to the Company as an employee, director, consultant or similar capacity by a related party are not covered by this policy. A related party is any executive officer, director, nominee for director, or more than 5% stockholder of the Company, including any of their immediate family members, and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, where a transaction has been identified as a related person transaction, management must present information regarding the proposed related person transaction to the Audit Committee (or, where Audit Committee approval would be inappropriate, to another independent body of the Board) for consideration and approval or ratification. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related persons, the benefits to the Company of the transaction and whether any alternative transactions were available. To identify related person transactions in advance, the Company relies on information supplied by its executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, the Audit Committee takes into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to (a) the risks, costs and benefits to the Company, (b) the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated, (c) the terms of the transaction, (d) the availability of other sources for comparable services or products and (e) the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally. In the event a director has an interest in the proposed transaction, the director must recuse himself or herself form the deliberations and approval. The policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related person transaction, the Audit Committee consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, as the Audit Committee determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

Related Party Transactions

The following includes a summary of transactions since July 1, 2020 to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded $120,000 or, if less, 1% of the average of our total assets as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and in which any of our directors, nominees for director, executive officers or, to our knowledge, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other arrangements, which are described under “Executive and Director Compensation” above.

June 2020 Private Placement

On June 18, 2020, we received gross proceeds of $3,000,000 from a private placement of our series A preferred stock (the “Private Placement”), convertible into 2,047,500 shares of our Common Stock, pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with 22NW Fund, LP, an institutional accredited investor affiliated with Aron R. English, who became a director of our company at such time. The series A preferred stock converted into shares of our common stock, on a one-to-one basis, automatically upon the closing of our initial public offering.

As part of the Private Placement, 22NW Fund, LP and Mr. English, individually, further agreed under the Securities Purchase Agreement to purchase, upon the achievement of certain corporate events, milestone warrants for $2,250,000 in the aggregate. The milestone warrants were exercisable for cash for up to 6,896,406 shares of series A preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.69 per share or on a “net-exercise” basis into such lesser number of shares of series A preferred stock by surrendering a portion of the underlying warrant shares, based on the positive difference between the stated milestone warrant exercise price and the initial public offering price per share, to pay the exercise price. The Securities Purchase Agreement provided that the milestone warrants must be purchased upon our achievement of (i) a filing with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of an investigational new drug application or the making of an analogous regulatory filing in any foreign jurisdiction, whichever occurred earlier, and (ii) an arrangement by us to produce the active pharmaceutical ingredient of ANEB-001, the Company’s lead product candidate, in amounts sufficient to facilitate the consummation of a trial pursuant to such regulatory filing, or otherwise forfeited. On March 8, 2021, 22NW Fund, LP and Mr. English purchased the milestone warrants for $2,250,000 in cash following acceptance of an open European clinical trial application in the Netherlands, permitting us to utilize ANEB-001 on human subjects in a Phase 2 clinical trial, and exercised the milestone warrants on a net-exercise basis into 5,236,343 shares of common stock in connection with the closing of our initial public offering.

As part of the Private Placement, we entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement with 22NW Fund, LP. Upon the closing of our initial public offering, all rights under the Investors’ Rights Agreement terminated, except for the registration rights set forth therein. Pursuant to the terms of the Investors’ Rights Agreement, if we register any of our securities either for our own account or for the account of other security holders, 22NW Fund, LP is entitled to certain “piggyback” registration rights allowing it to include its registrable securities in such registration, subject to specified conditions and limitations. The registration rights granted under the Investors’ Rights Agreement will terminate with respect to the registrable securities upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a “Deemed Liquidation Event” (as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, (ii) such time after the closing of our initial public offering as Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of 22NW Fund, LP’s shares without limitation during a three-month period without registration or (ii) the third anniversary of our initial public offering. All fees, costs and expenses of registrations under the Investors’ Rights Agreement will be borne by us and all selling expenses, including underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any, will be borne by 22NW Fund, LP.

Initial Public Offering

22NW Fund, LP purchased shares of our common stock in our initial public offering in May 2021 in an aggregate amount of $5.0 million. The shares sold to 22NW Fund, LP were at the same price and on the same terms as the other investors in the initial public offering.

September 2022 Private Placement

In September 2022, we completed a private placement of 2,264,650 units (collectively, the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.6 million (or $2.935 per Unit). Each Common Warrant has an exercise price of $4.215 per share, which is subject to customary adjustments in the event of any combination or split of the Common Stock, and has a five-year term. The Common Warrants contain beneficial ownership limitations which prevent the holder from exercising the Common Warrants if immediately following such exercise the holder would beneficially own shares of Common Stock in excess of the stated beneficial ownership limitation. 22NW Fund, LP, a fund affiliated with Mr. English, a director of the Company and the second largest beneficial owner of Common Stock, participated in the private placement and purchased 1,703,577 Units at the per Unit purchase price, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.0 million.

We lease our office space in Lakeway, Texas from JFL Capital Management LLC, a company controlled by Dr. Lawler, the founder and the Chairman of the Board of our Company. Our office lease is month-to-month, and currently we pay rent of approximately $1,300 per month.

Indemnification

We provide indemnification for our directors and executive officers so that they will be free from undue concern about personal liability in connection with their service to us. Under our Bylaws, we are required to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. We have also entered into indemnity agreements with certain officers and directors. These agreements provide, among other things, that the Company will indemnify the officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for in the agreement, for all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, which he or she was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of his or her position as a director, officer, employee, agent or other fiduciary of the Company, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Householding of Proxy Materials

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Annual Meeting materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of Annual Meeting materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” the Company’s proxy materials. A single set of Annual Meeting materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of Annual Meeting materials, please notify your broker or us. Direct your written request to Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Attn: Secretary, at 1415 Ranch Road 620 South, Suite 201, Lakeway, Texas 78734, or contact Rex Merchant at (512) 598-0931. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Annual Meeting materials at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.

Other Matters

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
