Explanatory Note


On July 24, 2019, Heat Biologics, Inc. (the Company) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to report under Items 5.02, 5.07 and 8.01 thereof (the Original Form 8-K) the voting results for the proposals submitted to stockholders at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), held on July 23, 2019. The Annual Meeting was adjourned until August 22, 2019 with respect to two of the proposals set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, dated June 4, 2019, for the Annual Meeting (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”): (i) to approve (in the event it is deemed advisable by the Company’s Board of Directors) an amendment to the Company’s third amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.0002 par value per share, at a ratio to be determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors within a range of one (1) share of common stock for every two (2) to ten (10) shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”); which was Proposal 4 in the Definitive Proxy Statement, and (ii) to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, from 100,000,000 to 250,000,000 shares (the “Increase”), which was Proposal 5 in the Definitive Proxy Statement. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements the Original Form 8-K to disclose the voting results with respect to Proposal 4 and Proposal 5 voted on at the reconvened portion of the Annual Meeting held on August 22, 2019. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.
