 Exhibit 10.2 

PLACEMENT AGENT AGREEMENT 

January 11, 2017 
 This
Placement Agent Agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between CytoDyn Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Paulson Investment Company, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (the “Placement
Agent”), as of the date first above written. The Company hereby engages the Placement Agent to assist the Company as its exclusive placement agent in arranging an offering of its equity securities (the “Securities”) which
will be subject to a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 previously declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) , on terms to be determined by
the parites hereto (the “Offering”). The terms of the Offering will be more fully described in the definitive transaction documents pertaining to the Offering, to be prepared by the Company, with the assistance of the Placement
Agent. 
 NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto based on the foregoing and the mutual covenants set forth below and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, do hereby agree as follows: 
 1.
Services. 
 (a) The Placement Agent shall offer participation in the Offering to its clients and other persons with
whom the Placement Agent or the Company or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or affiliates has a pre-existing business relationship and that the Placement Agent reasonably believes are “accredited investors” as defined
in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Any such potential investor in the Offering, including entities controlled by or advised by the Placement Agent and their
respective affiliates, that is first introduced to the Company by the Placement Agent shall be considered a qualified investor (collectively, the “Qualified Investors”). A list of Qualified Investors will be provided to the Company
within five (5) days of the final closing of the Offering and it is expressly understood that this Offering excludes any and all institutions, with the exception of Baker Brothers and HIG. 

(b) The Company shall be responsible for (i) the Registration Statement, as well as the relevant subscription documents or securities
purchase agreement (the “Transaction Documents”), and related investment materials to be used in connection with the Offering; and the Placement Agent shall be responsible for (i) organizing, obtaining facilities for, and
conducting one or more investor presentations and (ii) providing other services reasonably related to serving as the Placement Agent for the Company in connection with the Offering. 

(c) The Company shall (1) make members of management and other employees available to the Placement Agent as the Placement Agent shall
reasonably request for purposes of satisfying the Placement Agent’s due diligence requirements and consummating the Offering; (2) make its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other key management members available to
attend a reasonable number of investor presentations, as recommended by the Placement Agent; and (3) commit such time and other resources as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to support the Placement Agent in its efforts to secure the
reasonable and timely success of the Offering. The Company shall cooperate with the Placement Agent in connection with, and shall make available to the Placement Agent such documents and other information as the Placement Agent shall reasonably
request in order to satisfy, its due diligence requirements, subject to any applicable confidentiality requirements. 







 (d) The Placement Agent acknowledges that (i) the Company may determine, in its sole
discretion, whether to accept an offer of subscription to the Offering by a Qualified Investor and (ii) the Company is not obligated to compensate the Placement Agent for such offered subscriptions to the Company that the Company does not
accept. 
 (e) The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agent may engage one or more sub-agents (each a “Sub-Agent”),
reasonably acceptable to the Company, to assist the Placement Agent in the placement of the Securities. Each Sub-Agent will be assigned a portion of the Cash Fee and Equity Compensation (as each is defined below) otherwise payable to the Placement
Agent, in the amounts, and on the terms set forth in an agreement between the Placement Agent and Sub-Agent and for which amounts shall be paid to the Sub-Agent by the Placement Agent. 

2. Compensation Payable to the Placement Agent. 

(a) The Company shall, at each closing of the Offering (each a “Closing”), as compensation for the services provided by the
Placement Agent hereunder, pay the Placement Agent a cash commission equal to 9% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from Qualified Investors from such closing (the “Cash Fee”). 

(b) At the final Closing of an Offering that includes the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock (including as part of units), the
Placement Agent shall be entitled to receive a warrant to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock (“PA Warrants”), equal to 8% of the shares into which the units sold in the Offering are convertible.
The PA Warrants shall have an exercise price of 110% of the price of the common stock in the Offering and will expire on the date that is five (5) years from the date of issuance of such PA Warrant. The PA Warrants will include a cashless
exercise provision. The Placement Agent may assign PA Warrants to Sub-Agents, or other designees, so long as such designees are accredited investors and execute such certificates reasonably requested by the Company to ensure compliance with
applicable securities laws. 
 3. Term. 

(a) Unless earlier terminated as set forth herein, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect for a term expiring on March 31,
2017, unless extended by the Company and the Placement Agent (the “Term”). Certain provisions of this Agreement survive the termination of this Agreement as expressly provided elsewhere herein. 

(b) Prior to the end of the Term, (i) the Company may terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice in the event of a material
breach of this Agreement by the Placement Agent, and (ii) either party may terminate this Agreement upon 5 (five) days prior written notice to the other party for any reason. In the event the Company terminates this Agreement, the Placement
Agent will be entitled to all applicable Cash Fees and Equity Compensation provided for in Section 2 hereof, earned prior to such termination, and, if the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii), the Placement Agent
will also be entitled to its non-accountable expenses up to $25,000 as contemplated by Section 9 hereof.

 (c) In the event that the Company consummates a sale of its securities (whether debt or equity)
to a Qualified Investor within the twelve (12) month period immediately following the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement (the “Tail Period”) pursuant to which the Placement Agent would have been entitled to the
compensation set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement had the sale occurred during the term of this Agreement, then at the closing of each such investment during the Tail Period, the Company shall pay the Placement Agent the compensation as set
forth in Section 2 hereof (including PA Warrants), in the amounts equal to the compensation that the Placement Agent would have earned from such investments had the Company closed on such investments prior to the termination of this Agreement.

laws, whether foreign or domestic, of each jurisdiction in which the Placement Agent proposes to carry on the business contemplated by this Agreement. The Placement Agent shall not take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
Company to violate any law or to jeopardize the availability of any applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Placement Agent is a
member firm in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and has all authority and approvals needed to engage in securities trading and brokerage activities, as well as providing investment banking
and financial advisory services. The Placement Agent represents, warrants and agrees that it shall at all times provide its services under this Agreement in compliance with applicable law.

furnished by the Company to the Placement Agent for delivery to or review by the Qualified Investors, or the omission or the alleged omission to state in such documents furnished to the Qualified Investors a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, to the extent such misstatements or omissions are made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Company for use in
the documents furnished to the Qualified Investors, including the Registration Statement (except to the extent such misrepresentations, untrue statements or omissions are based on information provided to the Company by the Placement Agent or its
affiliates). The Company agrees to reimburse the Placement Agent’s Indemnified Party for any reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred as a result of producing documents, presenting testimony or evidence,
or preparing to present testimony or evidence (based upon time expended by the Placement Agent’s Indemnified Party at its then current time charges or if such person shall have no established time charges, then based upon reasonable charges),
in connection with any court or administrative proceeding (including any investigation which may be preliminary thereto) arising out of or relating to the performance by the Placement Agent’s Indemnified Party of any obligation hereunder and
relating to a matter for which the Company must provide indemnity to or hold harmless such Placement Agent’s Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 6(a). In the event the Company shall be obligated to indemnify a
Placement Agent’s Indemnified Party in connection with any such proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by the Placement Agent’s Indemnified Party (which shall not be

 6 








 (b) The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its managers,
officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, legal counsel and its affiliates (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, and expenses (including all
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by a Company Indemnified Party) caused by or arising out of any misrepresentation or untrue statement or alleged misrepresentation or untrue statement of a material fact made by the Placement Agent or its
affiliates to the Qualified Investors, or the Placement Agent’s omission or the alleged omission to state to the Qualified Investors a material fact necessary in order to make statements made not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which they were made (except to the extent such misrepresentations, untrue statements or omissions are based on information provided to the Placement Agent by the Company, including the Registration Statement or any other document furnished by the
Company to the Placement Agent for delivery to or review by the Qualified Investors), in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the
Registration Statement or other document furnished to the Placement Agent for delivery to or review by the Qualified Investors, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent or its
affiliates expressly for use therein. The Placement Agent agrees to reimburse the Company Indemnified Party for any reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred as a result of producing documents, presenting

(c) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution under the Securities Act in any case in which (i) any person entitled to
indemnification under this Section 6 makes claim for indemnification pursuant hereto but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the
denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced notwithstanding the fact that this Section 6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the
part of any such person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6, then, and in each such case, the Company and the Placement Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
which they may be subject (after any contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Placement Agent is responsible for the proportion that the amount of commissions appearing in the Registration Statement bears to the price appearing
therein, and the Company is responsible for the remaining portion; provided, that, in any such case, no person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation or omission (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Sections 6(a) and (b) of this Agreement, and the representations and warranties of the parties set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of the Company or Placement Agent, as the case may be, or by or on behalf of any controlling person of the Placement Agent or the Company or any such manager, partner, officer or director or any controlling person of the Company or
the Placement Agent, as the case may be, and shall survive the delivery of the Securities, and any successor of the Company and of the Placement Agent, or of any controlling person of the Company or the Placement Agent, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to the benefit of the respective indemnity agreements. The representations and warranties in Section 5 of this Agreement (but not the indemnities contained in Section 6 hereof) shall terminate six (6) months after the final
Closing under this Agreement. 
 7. Covenants

securities commission of any proceeding against the Company. 
 (ii) The Company will give the Placement Agent notice of its intention to
amend or supplement the Registration Statement. 
 (iii) If any event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable
opinion of either or both of the Placement Agent and the Company, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement in order to make the Registration Statement not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to
a purchaser, the Company will forthwith amend or supplement the Registration Statement by preparing and furnishing to the Placement Agent a reasonable number of copies of an amendment or amendments of, or a supplement or supplements to, the
Registration Statement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Placement Agent), so that, as so amended or supplemented, the Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading. 

(iv) The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the Placement Agent, to qualify or perfect an exemption for the Securities for offering
and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as the Placement Agent and the Company agree to offer and sell the Securities, and will maintain such qualifications in effect for so long as
may be required for the distribution of the Securities. This will include, but not be limited to preparing and filing Forms D, and and notice filings with each State, as, if, and when appropriate. 

(v) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities sold by it hereunder substantially as contemplated by the
Registration Statement.

 (vi) All communications by the Company with the Placement Agent shall be with the Placement
Agent’s President, legal counsel and/or designated investment banker(s) with respect to the Offering. The Company shall not initiate communication directly with any of the Placement Agent’s brokers or the Qualified Investors (until such

 (b) The Placement
Agent covenants and agrees that: 
 (i) It will not give any information or make any representation in connection with the offering of
Securities which is not contained in the Registration Statement. 
 (ii) In making any offer of Securities, the Placement Agent agrees that
it will comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the securities laws of each state, and that it and its authorized agents will offer to sell, or solicit offers to subscribe for or buy, the Securities only in those
states and other jurisdictions in the United States in which such solicitations can be made in accordance with an applicable exemption from registration or qualification and in which the Placement Agent is qualified to so act. Nothing contained
herein shall limit the Placement Agent from offering to sell the Securities outside the United States in compliance with applicable laws. 

8. Confidentiality. Except in keeping with its obligations under this Agreement, the Placement Agent will maintain in
confidence and will use only for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations hereunder and will not use for its own benefit any inventions, confidential know-how, trade secrets, financial information and other non-public information and data disclosed
to it by the Company, and it will not divulge the same to any other persons until such time as the information becomes a matter of public knowledge. The Placement Agent will use its best efforts to prevent any unauthorized disclosure described above
by others. This Section 9 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement indefinitely. 
 9.

 (a) The Placement Agent shall receive an expense fee equal to $25,000 upon the execution of
this Agreement, which will offset by future expenses incurred by the Placement Agent during the Offering.

pertaining to the Offering. 
 10. Independent Contractor; Duty Owed.  

(a) The Placement Agent will perform its services hereunder as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement will in any way be

Company’s behalf or commit the Company in any manner or make any representations, warranties or promises on the Company’s behalf or hold itself (or allow itself to be held) as having any authority whatsoever to bind the Company without the
Company’s prior written consent, or attempt to do any of the foregoing. 

  
 9 








 (b) The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agent is being engaged hereunder solely to
provide the services described above to the Company, and that it is not acting as a fiduciary of, and shall have no duties or liabilities to, the equity holders of the Company or any other third party in connection with its engagement hereunder, all
of which are hereby expressly waived. 
 11. General. 

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to or concerning any interpretation,
construction, performance or breach of this Agreement, shall be subject to the laws of the State of Oregon without giving effect to its conflicts of laws provisions. Any disputes will be settled in binding arbitration in Portland, Oregon under the
auspices of FINRA dispute resolution. The decision of the arbitrator will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction. The Company and
the Placement Agent shall each pay one-half of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each shall separately pay its counsel fees and expenses. 

(b) Covenant against Assignment. This Agreement is personal to the parties hereto, and accordingly, except for the right to enforce the
obligations under Sections 6 and 7 hereunder (which right shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the aggrieved party), neither this Agreement nor any right hereunder or interest herein may be assigned or transferred or charged
by either party without the express written consent of the other. 
 (c) Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the attached
exhibits constitute the entire contract between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements between the parties. This Agreement may not be amended, nor may any obligation hereunder be waived, except by an
agreement in writing executed by, in the case of an amendment, each of the parties hereto, and, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving performance. 

(d) No Waiver. The failure or delay by a party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not in any way be construed as a waiver
of any such provision or prevent that party from thereafter enforcing any other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted the parties hereunder are cumulative and will not constitute a waiver of either party’s right to assert any other
legal remedy available to it. 
 (e) Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be found to be illegal or unenforceable, the
other provisions will nevertheless remain effective and will remain enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by law.
