We have entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement, or Sales Agreement, with Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC, or Titan, dated July 22, 2025, relating to shares of our common stock, par value $0.00000002 per share, or common stock, offered by this prospectus supplement. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000 from time to time through Titan, acting as our sales agent.

Sales of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement may be made by any method permitted that is deemed an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Titan is not required to sell any specific amount but will act as our sales agent and use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between Titan and us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

Titan will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate equal to 3.5% of the gross sales price per share of common stock sold through it as sales agent pursuant to the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sale of shares of our common stock on our behalf, Titan will be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of Titan will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Titan with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. See "Plan of Distribution" beginning on page S-[12](#sPOD) regarding the compensation to be paid to Titan.

#### ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus are part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") utilizing a "shelf" registration process. Each time we conduct an offering to sell securities under the accompanying base prospectus we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering, including the price, the amount of securities being offered and the plan of distribution. This prospectus supplement describes the specific details regarding this offering and may add, update or change information contained in the accompanying base prospectus. The base prospectus, dated February 28, 2024, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, provides general information about us and our securities, some of which, such as the section entitled "Plan of Distribution," may not apply to this offering. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus are an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby, but only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. We are not, and Titan is not, making offers to sell or solicitations to buy our common stock in any jurisdiction in which an offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making that offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make an offer or solicitation.

See "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference" and "Where You Can Find More Information" in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying base prospectus**.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus contain summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information.

#### PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This prospectus summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus carefully, including the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-[5](#sRF) and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the other information incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, before making an investment decision.

#### Our Company
MEI Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: MEIP) is a pharmaceutical company with a portfolio of several drug candidates that may offer novel and differentiated therapies. The drug candidate pipeline includes voruciclib, an oral cyclin-dependent kinase 9 inhibitor.

*Litecoin Treasury Strategy* 

On July 17, 2025, we entered into securities purchase agreements with certain investors (the "PIPE Purchasers") pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue to the PIPE Purchasers in a private placement offering (the "PIPE Offering"): (i) 23,216,898 shares of Common Stock, at an offering price of $3.42 per share, and (ii) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 6,022,869 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $3.4199 per Pre-Funded Warrant.

We intend to use the funds, pending identification of working capital needs and other general corporate purposes, to acquire Litecoin, a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant, near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world. Litecoin is an open source, global payment network that is fully decentralized without any central authorities. Mathematics secures the network and empowers individuals to control their own finances. Litecoin features faster transaction confirmation times and improved storage efficiency than the leading math-based currency. Litecoin will serve as our primary treasury reserve asset. We believe this strategy will allow us to diversify reserves, enhance capital efficiency, and align with emerging financial technologies.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "MEIP."

Our principal executive offices are located at 9920 Pacific Heights Blvd., Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92121, and our phone number is (858) 350-4255.

Our website is www.meipharma.com. Information contained in, or accessible through, our website does not constitute part of this prospectus supplement and inclusions of our website address in this prospectus supplement are inactive textual references only.

#### RISK FACTORS
*Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before purchasing our common stock, you should read and consider carefully the following risk factors and the risk factors included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as well as all other information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes. Each of these risk factors, either alone or taken together, could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our common stock. There may be additional risks that we do not presently know of or that we currently believe are immaterial, which could also impair our business and financial position. If any of the events described below were to occur, our financial condition, our ability to access capital resources, our results of operations and/or our future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected and the market price of our common stock could decline. As a result, you could lose some or all of any investment you may make in our common stock.* 

#### Risks Related to This Offering

#### The market price of our shares may be subject to fluctuation and volatility. You could lose all or part of your investment.
The market price of our common stock is subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Since January 1, 2022, the reported high and low sales prices of our common stock have ranged from $1.86 to $54.80 through July 21, 2025. The market price of our shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actual or anticipated variations in our and our competitors' results of operations and financial condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market acceptance of our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if our shares are covered by analysts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• development of technological innovations or new competitive products by others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• announcements of technological innovations or new products by us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• publication of the results of preclinical or clinical trials for our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure by us to achieve a publicly announced milestone;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delays between our expenditures to develop and market new or enhanced products and the generation of sales from those products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developments concerning intellectual property rights, including our involvement in litigation brought by or against us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory developments and the decisions of regulatory authorities as to the approval or rejection of new or modified products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the amounts that we spend to develop, acquire or license new products, technologies or businesses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in our expenditures to promote our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our sale or proposed sale, or the sale by our significant stockholders, of our shares or other securities in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• success or failure of our research and development projects or those of our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the trading volume of our shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general economic and market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance.

S-5<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
These factors and any corresponding price fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our shares and result in substantial losses being incurred by our investors. In the past, following periods of market volatility, public company stockholders have often instituted securities class action litigation. If we were involved in securities litigation, it could impose a substantial cost upon us and divert the resources and attention of our management from our business.

***Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the possibility that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.***

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future issuances or sales of our securities including sales of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement or the availability of our securities for future issuance or sale, will have on the market price of our common stock. Issuances or sales of substantial amounts of our securities, including sales of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement, or the perception that such issuances or sales might occur, could negatively impact the market price of our common stock and the terms upon which we may obtain additional equity financing in the future.

***It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares of our common stock we will sell under the Sales Agreement, or the gross proceeds resulting from those sales.***

Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to the sales agent at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares of our common stock that are sold through the sales agent after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with the sales agent in any applicable placement notice, and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during the sales period, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales.

***The common stock offered hereby will be sold in "at the market offerings," and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.***

Investors who purchase common stock in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold in this offering. In addition, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

***Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and you may not agree with how we use the proceeds and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.***

Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby. We currently expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including to progress the development programs of our drug candidates. See the section entitled "Use of Proceeds" below for a more detailed discussion. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds will be used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for the Company and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

#### Risks Related to Investing in Litecoin
***We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to purchase Litecoin, the price of which has been, and will likely continue to be, highly volatile.***

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to purchase Litecoin. Litecoin is a highly volatile asset that has traded between $59.26 and $146.61 per Litecoin on Coinbase in the 12 months ended July 3, 2025. More recently, during the second calendar quarter of 2025, Litecoin has traded between

S-6<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
$72.35 and $106.15 per Litecoin through June 30, 2025. In addition, Litecoin does not pay interest. The ability to generate a return on investment from the net proceeds of this offering will depend on whether there is appreciation in the value of Litecoin following our purchases. Future fluctuations in Litecoin's trading prices may result in our converting Litecoin purchased with the net proceeds from this offering into cash with a value substantially below such net proceeds.

***Our Litecoin holdings will be less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.***

Historically, the crypto markets have been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our Litecoin at favorable prices or at all. Further, any Litecoin we hold with our custodians and transact with our trade execution partners does not enjoy the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Additionally, we may be unable to enter into term loans or other capital raising transactions collateralized by our unencumbered Litecoin or otherwise generate funds using our Litecoin holdings, including in particular during times of market instability or when the price of Litecoin has declined significantly. If we are unable to sell our Litecoin, enter into additional capital raising transactions using Litecoin as collateral, or otherwise generate funds using our Litecoin holdings, or if we are forced to sell our Litecoin at a significant loss, in order to meet our working capital requirements, our business and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

#### The launch of central bank digital currencies ("CBDCs") may adversely impact our business.
The introduction of a government-issued digital currency could eliminate or reduce the need or demand for private-sector issued crypto currencies, or significantly limit their utility. National governments around the world could introduce CBDCs, which could in turn limit the size of the market opportunity for cryptocurrencies, including Litecoin.

***We may be subject to regulatory developments related to crypto assets and crypto asset markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.***

As Litecoin and other digital assets are relatively novel and the application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of Litecoin. The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of Litecoin or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer Litecoin.

If Litecoin is determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, the additional regulatory restrictions imposed by such a determination could adversely affect the market price of Litecoin and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Moreover, the risks of us engaging in a Litecoin treasury strategy could create complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.

***Regulatory change reclassifying Litecoin as a security could lead to our falling within the definition of "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, and could adversely affect the market price of Litecoin and the market price of our common stock.***

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the 1940 Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an "investment company" for purposes of the 1940 Act if (1) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities or (2) it is engaged, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

S-7<br>

------

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
While the SEC has not stated a view as to whether Litecoin is or is not a "security" for purposes of the federal securities laws, a determination by the SEC or a court of competent jurisdiction that Litecoin is a security could lead to our meeting the definition of "investment company" under the 1940 Act, if the portion of our assets that consists of investments in Litecoin exceeds the 40% limit prescribed in the 1940 Act, which would subject us to significant additional regulatory requirements that could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and may also require us to change the manner in which we conduct our business.

We intend to monitor our assets and income in order to conduct our business activities in a manner such that we do not fall within the definition of "investment company" under the 1940 Act or would qualify under one of the exemptions or exclusions provided by the 1940 Act and corresponding SEC rules. If Litecoin is determined to be a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, we would take steps to reduce our holdings of Litecoin as a percentage of our total assets. These steps may include, among others, selling Litecoin that we might otherwise hold for the long term and deploying our cash in assets that are not considered to be investment securities under the 1940 Act, in which case we may be forced to sell our Litecoin at unattractive prices. We may also seek to acquire additional assets that are not considered to be investment securities under the 1940 Act, and we may need to incur debt, issue additional equity or enter into other financing arrangements that are not otherwise attractive to our business. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, we can make no assurance that we would successfully be able to take the necessary steps to avoid meeting the definition of "investment company" under the 1940 Act and becoming subject to its requirements. If Litecoin is determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, and if we are not able to come within an available exemption or exclusion under the 1940 Act, then we would have to register as an investment company and require us to change the manner in which we conduct our business. In addition, such a determination could adversely affect the market price of Litecoin and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

***We are not subject to legal and regulatory obligations that apply to investment companies such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or to obligations applicable to investment advisers.***

Mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and their directors and management are subject to extensive regulation as "investment companies" and "investment advisers" under U.S. federal and state law; this regulation is intended for the benefit and protection of investors. We do not currently comply with and do not intend to voluntarily comply with these laws and regulations. This means, among other things, that the execution of or changes to our Litecoin strategy, our use of leverage, the manner in which our Litecoin is custodied, our ability to engage in transactions with affiliated parties and our operating and investment activities generally are not subject to the extensive legal and regulatory requirements and prohibitions that apply to investment companies and investment advisers. Consequently, our board of directors has broad discretion over the investment, leverage and cash management policies it authorizes, whether in respect of our Litecoin holdings or other activities we may pursue, and has the power to change our current policies, including our strategy of acquiring and holding Litecoin. See "Use of Proceeds."

***If we or our third-party service providers experience a security breach or cyberattack and unauthorized parties obtain access to our Litecoin, or if our private keys are lost or destroyed, or other similar circumstances or events occur, we may lose some or all of our Litecoin and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.***

We expect that substantially all of the Litecoin we acquire will be held in custody accounts at U.S.-based institutional-grade digital asset custodians. Security breaches and cyberattacks are of particular concern with respect to digital assets, including Litecoin. Litecoin and other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies and the entities that provide services to participants in the Litecoin ecosystem have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities. For example, in October 2021 it was reported that hackers exploited a flaw in the account recovery process and stole from the accounts of at least 6,000 customers of the Coinbase exchange, although the flaw was subsequently fixed and Coinbase reimbursed affected customers. Similarly, in November 2022, hackers exploited weaknesses in the security architecture of the FTX Trading digital asset exchange and reportedly stole over $400 million in digital assets from customers. A successful security breach or cyberattack could result in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a partial or total loss of our Litecoin in a manner that may not be covered by insurance or the liability provisions of the custody agreements with the custodians who hold our Litecoin;

S-8<br>

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• harm to our reputation and brand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• improper disclosure of data and violations of applicable data privacy and other laws; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, penalties, and other legal, regulatory,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• contractual and financial exposure.

Further, any actual or perceived data security breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other companies with digital assets or companies that operate digital asset networks, regardless of whether we are directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of confidence in the broader Litecoin ecosystem or in the use of the Litecoin network to conduct financial transactions, which could negatively impact us.

Attacks upon systems across a variety of industries, including industries related to Litecoin, are increasing in frequency, persistence, and sophistication, and, in many cases, are being conducted by sophisticated, well-funded and organized groups and individuals, including state actors. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper or illegal access to systems and information (including personal data and digital assets), disable or degrade services, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target. These attacks may occur on our systems or those of our third-party service providers or partners. We may experience breaches of our security measures due to human error, malfeasance, insider threats, system errors or vulnerabilities or other irregularities. In particular, we expect that unauthorized parties will attempt to gain access to our systems and facilities, as well as those of our partners and third-party service providers, through various means, such as hacking, social engineering, phishing and fraud. Threats can come from a variety of sources, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, and insiders. In addition, certain types of attacks could harm us even if our systems are left undisturbed. For example, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable, sometimes for extended periods of time, or until launched against a target and we may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures. Further, there has been an increase in such activities due to the increase in work-from-home arrangements. The risk of cyberattacks could also be increased by cyberwarfare in connection with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts, or other future conflicts, including potential proliferation of malware into systems unrelated to such conflicts. Any future breach of our operations or those of others in the Litecoin industry, including third-party services on which we rely, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

#### USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock offered under this prospectus supplement for working capital and general corporate purposes including to acquire the native cryptocurrency of the Litecoin blockchain commonly referred to as "LTC", which will serve as the Company's primary treasury reserve asset. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. As a result, management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of net proceeds. Pending the uses described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade interest-bearing securities such as money market accounts, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**

#### PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement with Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC, or Titan, under which we may offer and sell up to $100,000,000 of our shares of common stock from time to time through Titan acting as agent.

Sales of our shares of common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be made by any method that is deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act.

Each time we wish to issue and sell shares of common stock under the sales agreement, we will notify Titan of the number of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Once we have so instructed Titan, unless Titan declines to accept the terms of such notice, Titan has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations of Titan under the sales agreement to sell our shares of common stock are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet.

The settlement of sales of shares between us and Titan is generally anticipated to occur on the second trading day following the date on which the sale was made. Sales of our shares of common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Titan may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

We will pay Titan a commission equal to 3.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of our shares of common stock. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse Titan for the fees and disbursements of its counsel, payable upon execution of the sales agreement, in an amount not to exceed $75,000, in addition to certain ongoing disbursements of its legal counsel. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding any commissions or expense reimbursement payable to Titan under the terms of the sales agreement, will be approximately $0.4 million. The remaining sale proceeds, after deducting any other transaction fees, will equal our net proceeds from the sale of such shares.

In July 2025, Titan acted as the sole placement agent in the PIPE Offering for total approximate gross proceeds of $100 million. Titan received a cash fee equal to seven percent (7%) of the gross proceeds and warrant compensation of four percent (4%) of the securities sold in the offering. We also reimbursed Titan for out-of-pocket expenses up to $150,000, including legal fees.

Titan will provide written confirmation to us before the open on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the day following each day on which our shares of common stock are sold under the sales agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on that day, the aggregate gross proceeds of such sales and the proceeds to us.

In connection with the sale of our shares of common stock on our behalf, Titan will be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of Titan will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify Titan against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have also agreed to contribute to payments Titan may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

The offering of our shares of common stock pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares of common stock subject to the sales agreement and (ii) the termination of the sales agreement as permitted therein. We and Titan may each terminate the sales agreement at any time upon ten days' prior notice.

This summary of the material provisions of the sales agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions.

#### SUMMARY

#### The Company
We are a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company committed to developing novel and differentiated cancer therapies. We build our pipeline by acquiring promising cancer agents and creating value in programs through clinical development, strategic partnerships, and out-licensing or commercialization, as appropriate. Our approach to oncology drug development is to evaluate our drug candidates in combinations with standard-of-care therapies to overcome known resistance mechanisms and address clear medical needs to provide improved patient benefit. The drug candidate pipeline includes voruciclib, an oral cyclin-dependent kinase 9 ("CDK9") inhibitor, and ME-344, an intravenous small molecule mitochondrial inhibitor targeting the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "MEIP."

We believe our cash is sufficient to fund operations for at least 12 months and through the reporting of clinical data readouts from the ongoing and planned voruciclib and ME-344 Phase 1 and Phase 1b clinical programs, respectively.

#### Corporate Information
Our principal executive offices are located at 11455 El Camino Real Suite 250, San Diego, CA 92130, and our phone number is (858) 369-7100.

#### CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including statements regarding the future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "should," "plan," "expect," and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, without limitation, those described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential, safety, efficacy, and regulatory and clinical progress of our product candidates, including the anticipated timing for initiation of clinical trials and release of clinical trial data and our expectations surrounding potential regulatory submissions, approvals and timing thereof, our business strategy and plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to fund our operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to fund future capital returns;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our failure to successfully commercialize our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the availability or appropriateness of utilizing the FDA's accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• final data from our pre-clinical studies and completed clinical trials may differ materially from reported interim data from ongoing studies and trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs and delays in the development and/ or FDA approval, or the failure to obtain such approval, of our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• uncertainties or differences in interpretation in clinical trial results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• uncertainty regarding the impact of rising inflation and the increase in interest rates as a result;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential economic downturn;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• activist investors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to maintain or enter into, and the risks resulting from, our dependence upon collaboration or contractual arrangements necessary for the development, manufacture, commercialization, marketing, sales and distribution of any products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to protect our patents or proprietary rights and obtain necessary rights to third party patents and intellectual property to operate our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to operate our business without infringing the patents and proprietary rights of others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competition and competitive factors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our exposure to potential product liability claims and other claims may exceed our insurance limits;

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• government regulation generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in industry practice; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• one-time events.

These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report and our other filings with the SEC include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward looking statements will be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

#### USE OF PROCEEDS
Although we expect to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, including to progress the development programs of our drug candidates, we have not allocated these net proceeds for specific purposes. If, as of the date of any prospectus supplement, we have identified any additional use for the net proceeds, we will describe them in the prospectus supplement. The amount of securities offered from time to time pursuant to this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, and the precise amount of the net proceeds we will receive from the sale of such securities, as well as the timing of receipt of those proceeds, will depend upon our funding requirements. If we elect at the time of an issuance of securities to make different or more specific uses of the proceeds than as set forth herein, we will describe those uses in the applicable prospectus supplement.

#### PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities included in this prospectus (i) through agents, (ii) through underwriters, (iii) through dealers, (iv) directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser, or (v) through a combination of any such methods of sale.

The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including block transactions and transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other organized market where the securities may be traded:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at a fixed price or at final prices, which may be changed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at negotiated prices.

Offers to purchase securities may be solicited directly by us, or by agents designated by us, from time to time. Any such agent, which may be deemed to be an underwriter as that term is defined in the Securities Act, as amended, involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth, in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If an underwriter is, or underwriters are, utilized in the offer and sale of securities in respect of which this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement are delivered, we will execute an underwriting agreement with such underwriter(s) for the sale to it or them and the name(s) of the underwriter(s) and the terms of the transaction, including any underwriting discounts and other items constituting compensation of the underwriters and dealers, if any, will be set forth in such prospectus supplement, which will be used by the underwriter(s) to make resales of the securities in respect of which this prospectus and such prospectus supplement are delivered to the public. The securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale. The name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If an agent is used in an offering of securities being offered by this prospectus, the agent will be named, and the terms of the agency will be described, in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, an agent will act on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or their other agents to solicit offers by certain institutional investors to purchase securities from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery at a future date. Institutional investors with which these contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others. In all cases, these purchasers must be approved by us. The obligations of any purchaser under any of these contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that (a) the purchase of the securities must not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction to which that purchaser is subject, and (b) if the securities are also being sold to underwriters, we must have sold to these underwriters the securities not subject to delayed delivery. Underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of these contracts.

Certain of the underwriters, dealers or agents utilized by us in any offering hereby may be customers of, including borrowers from, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us or one or more of our affiliates in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled, under agreements which may be entered into with us, to indemnification against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

#### **TABLE OF CONTENTS**
Until the distribution of the securities is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of the underwriters and certain selling group members, if any, to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, the representatives of the underwriters, if any, are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. Such transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities.

If underwriters create a short position in the securities in connection with the offering thereof (in other words, if they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement), the representatives of such underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing securities in the open market. Any such representatives also may elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of any over-allotment option described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Any such representatives also may impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters and selling group members. This means that if the representatives purchase securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters' short position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members who sold those shares as part of the offering thereof.

In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a syndicate short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might otherwise be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it was to discourage resales of the security by purchasers in the offering.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters, if any, makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the securities. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters, if any, makes any representation that the representatives of the underwriters, if any, will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering. The securities offered by this prospectus may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange or a foreign securities exchange. We cannot give any assurances that there will be a market for any of the securities offered by this prospectus and any prospectus supplement.

We will bear costs relating to all of the securities being registered under this prospectus, other than underwriters' discounts and commissions.

#### DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

#### Securities We May Offer Under this Prospectus

#### Common Stock
For a description of our common stock, please see the Description of MEI Common Stock filed as Exhibit 4.4 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on September 26, 2023, and any future description of capital stock filed thereafter for the purpose of updating such description.

#### Preferred Stock
The material terms of any series of preferred stock that we offer through a prospectus supplement will be described in that prospectus supplement. Our board of directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of blank check preferred stock in one or more series with designations as may be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such preferred shares. At the time that any series of our preferred stock is authorized, our board of directors will fix the dividend rights, any conversion rights, any voting rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences and any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of that series, as well as the number of shares constituting that series and their designation. Our board of directors could, without stockholder approval, cause us to issue preferred stock which has voting, conversion and other rights that could adversely affect the holders of our common stock or make it more difficult to effect a change in control. Our preferred stock could be used to dilute the share ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of us and thereby hinder a possible takeover attempt which, if our stockholders were offered a premium over the market value of their shares, might be viewed as being beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, our preferred stock could be issued with voting, conversion and other rights and preferences which would adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of our common stock.

#### Warrants
We may issue warrants to purchase our common stock or preferred stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not have any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. A copy of the forms of the warrant agreement and the warrant certificate relating to any particular issue of warrants will be filed with the SEC each time we issue warrants, and you should read those documents for provisions that may be important to you. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the forms of the warrant agreement and the related warrant certificate, if applicable, see "Where You Can Find More Information." The terms of any warrants to be issued and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

#### Rights to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock, or Units
We may issue rights to purchase our common stock, preferred stock, or units. Rights may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. In connection with any rights offering to our stockholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting, backstop or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. In connection with a rights offering to our stockholders, we would distribute certificates evidencing the rights and a prospectus supplement to our stockholders on or about the record date that we set for receiving rights in such rights offering. The terms of any rights to be issued and a description of the material provisions of the applicable underwriting, backstop or other arrangement will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect on the rights of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the terms of any rights to redeem or call the rights;

We may issue units comprising one or more securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit also is the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. Units will be issued pursuant to the terms of a unit agreement. A copy of the forms of the unit agreement and the unit certificate relating to any particular issue of units will be filed with the SEC each time we issue units, and you should read those documents for provisions that may be important to you. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the forms of the unit agreement and the related unit certificate, see "Where You Can Find More Information." The terms of the units and the extent, if any, to which the general terms and provisions may apply to the units so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
