**Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.**

On June 27, 2025, UNITY Biotechnology, Inc. ("UNITY" or the "Company") was notified by the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that, as a result of (i) the events disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 5, 2025, including the implementation of a substantial reduction in force and the board of director's approval of an operating plan to evaluate strategic alternatives while reducing operational cash burn, including the closing out of the Company's ASPIRE study, and (ii) the Staff's assessment of the Company's financial projections, limited operations, lack of revenue, and minimal continued investment in the development of a revenue-producing asset, it is the Staff's belief that the Company no longer has an operating business and is a "public shell" and that continued listing of its securities on Nasdaq is no longer warranted.

The Staff also cited its prior notification to the Company on March 14, 2025, as previously reported, that the Company was out of compliance with the minimum $10,000,000 stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A), as previously disclosed by the Company.

In addition, as previously reported, on June 18, 2025, the Company received a separate letter from Nasdaq stating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock was below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum required closing bid price for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market pursuant to Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

Accordingly, Nasdaq, pursuant to its discretionary authority under Listing Rules 5101 and IM-5101-1, notified the Company that, unless the Company requests an appeal of these matters, trading of the Company's common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on July 9, 2025, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which will remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company does not intend to appeal the delisting determination.

**Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

*Director Departures*

On June 27, 2025, in connection with the planned Dissolution (as defined below), each of Nathaniel E. David, Ph.D., Anirvan Ghosh, Ph.D., Yehia Hashad, M.D., Keith R. Leonard Jr., Gilmore O'Neill, M.B., Margo Roberts, Ph.D., Michael P. Samar, and Camille D. Samuels notified the Company of their resignation from the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company and all committees thereof, effective as of 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on June 27, 2025 (the "Effective Time"). In each case, the director's resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. In connection with the foregoing resignations, the Board reduced its size from eight directors to one director in Class I authorized to serve on the Board.

*Officer Departures*

On June 27, 2025, in connection with the planned wind down of the Company's operations and Dissolution, Anirvan Ghosh ceased serving as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and principal executive officer, Lynne Sullivan ceased serving as the Company's Chief Financial Officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, and Alexander Nguyen ceased serving as the Company's Chief Legal Officer and secretary, in each case, effective as of the Effective Time.

*Election of Sole Director and Officer*

On June 27, 2025, the Board appointed Craig R. Jalbert, age 63, as the Company's President and Corporate Secretary and as Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, in each case, effective as of the Effective Time. The Board also appointed Mr. Jalbert as a Class I director, effective as of the Effective Time, for a term that expires upon the election and qualification of his successor or until his earlier resignation or removal. Mr. Jalbert has not been appointed to any committee of the Board and, as of the date hereof, is not expected to be appointed to any committee of the Board.

Mr. Jalbert has served as a principal of the Foxborough, Massachusetts accounting firm of Verdolino & Lowey, P.C. since 1987. For over 30 years his practice has focused on distressed businesses, and he has served, and continues to serve, in the capacities of officer and director for numerous public and private companies in their wind down phases.

------

In connection with his appointment as an officer and director of the Company, Mr. Jalbert will be compensated in the amount of $10,000 per month until the date the Company obtains stockholder approval of the Dissolution and, following such time, $50,000 per year for a period of three years thereafter. Mr. Jalbert was appointed to the Board and as an officer of the Company pursuant to an engagement letter with the Company, executed on May 8, 2025, to assist the Company in developing a plan of wind down of the Company's business affairs. There are no family relationships between Mr. Jalbert and any director or executive officer of the Company, and Mr. Jalbert has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

*Plan of Dissolution*

On June 27, 2025, the Board: (i) determined that it is in the best interests of UNITY and its stockholders that the Company be dissolved in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware pursuant to a Plan of Dissolution (the "Dissolution"); (ii) approved the Dissolution; and (iii) approved seeking stockholder approval to proceed with the Dissolution pursuant to Delaware law (the "Dissolution Proposal") at a special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting of Stockholders") to be held as soon as reasonably practicable. If the Dissolution Proposal is approved, the Company intends to file a Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Delaware law to initiate the dissolution process. The exact timing of such filing will be subject to the discretion of the Board.

The Company intends to continue its efforts to identify strategic opportunities to help monetize the Company's assets and technologies to maximize the value thereof, though to date UNITY has not found a viable alternative to the Dissolution. The Board believes that the Dissolution presents the best approach for the Company's creditors and for UNITY's stockholders. There can be no assurance that these efforts will yield the desired outcome or result in a recovery, if any, for UNITY creditors or stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Dissolution and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Plan of Dissolution, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

**Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.**

## Exhibit 2.1

**Exhibit 2.1**

**PLAN OF COMPLETE LIQUIDATION** 

**AND DISSOLUTION OF** 

**UNITY BIOTECHNOLOGY, INC.**

This Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the "Plan") is intended to constitute a plan of distribution under Section 281(b) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") and accomplish the complete liquidation and dissolution of Unity Biotechnology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation or a successor entity, the "Company"), in accordance with the DGCL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **Approval of Plan**. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has adopted this Plan and presented the Plan to the Company's stockholders to take action on the Plan. If the Plan is adopted by the requisite vote of the Company's stockholders, the Plan shall constitute the adopted Plan of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Certificate of Dissolution**. Subject to Section 14 hereof, after the stockholders of the Company approve the dissolution of the Company, the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of dissolution (the "Certificate of Dissolution") in accordance with the DGCL at such time as determined by the Board in its sole discretion (the time of such filing, or such later time as stated therein, the "Effective Time").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Cessation of Business Activities**. After the Effective Time, the Company shall not engage in any business activities except to the extent necessary to preserve the value of its assets, wind up its business affairs, and distribute its assets in accordance with this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Continuing Employees and Consultants**. For the purpose of effecting the dissolution of the Company, the Company may hire or retain such employees, consultants and advisors as the Company deems necessary or desirable to supervise or facilitate the dissolution and winding up of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Dissolution Process**.

From and after the Effective Time, the Company (or any successor entity of the Company) shall complete the following corporate actions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) The Company (a) shall pay or make reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations, including all contingent, conditional or unmatured contractual claims known to the Company, (b) shall make such provision as will be reasonably likely to be sufficient to provide compensation for any claim against the Company which is the subject of a pending action, suit or proceeding to which the Company is a party, and (c) shall make such provision as will be reasonably likely to be sufficient to provide compensation for claims that have not been made known to the Company or that have not arisen but that, based on facts known to the Company, are likely to arise or to become known to the Company within 10 years after the date of dissolution. Such claims shall be paid or provided for in full if there are sufficient assets. All such claims shall be paid in full and any such provision for payment made shall be made in full if there are sufficient assets. If there are insufficient assets, such claims and obligations shall be paid or provided for according to their priority and, among claims of equal priority, ratably to the extent of assets legally available therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) After the payments are made pursuant to clause (i) above, if there are any assets remaining, the Company shall distribute to its stockholders, in accordance with the Amended and Restated Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,all remaining assets, including all available cash, including the cash proceeds of any sale, exchange or disposition, except such cash, property or assets as are required for paying or making reasonable provision for the claims and obligations of the Company. Such distribution may occur all at once or in a series of distributions and shall be in cash or assets, in such amounts, and at such time or times, as the Company may determine. If and to the extent deemed necessary, appropriate or desirable by the Board, the

------

Company may establish and set aside a reasonable amount of cash and/or property to satisfy claims against the Company, including, without limitation, tax obligations, all expenses related to the sale of the Company's property and assets, all expenses related to the collection and defense of the Company's property and assets, and the liquidation and dissolution provided for in this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Cancellation of Stock**. The distributions to the Company's stockholders pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall be deemed to be in complete cancellation of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company as of the date that the continuation of the Company's legal existence terminates in accordance with Section 278 of the DGCL. From and after the Effective Time, and subject to applicable law, each holder of shares of capital stock of the Company shall cease to have any rights in respect thereof, except the right to receive distributions pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5(ii) hereof. As a condition to receipt of any distribution to the Company's stockholders, the Company may require the Company's stockholders to (i) surrender their certificates evidencing their shares of stock to the Company, or (ii) furnish the Company with evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft or destruction of such certificates, together with such surety bond or other security or indemnity as may be required by and satisfactory to the Company. The Company will close its stock transfer books and discontinue recording transfers of shares of stock of the Company at the Effective Time, and thereafter certificates representing shares of stock of the Company will not be assignable or transferable on the books of the Company except by will, intestate succession, operation of law or upon the dissolution of any stockholder or its successors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Conduct of the Company Following Approval of the Plan**. Under Delaware law, dissolution is effective upon the filing of a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or upon such future effective date as may be set forth in the certificate of dissolution. Section 278 of the DGCL provides that a dissolved corporation shall be continued for the term of 3 years from such dissolution or for such longer period as the Court of Chancery shall in its discretion direct, bodies corporate for the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits, whether civil, criminal or administrative, by or against it, and of enabling it gradually to settle and close its business, to dispose of and convey its property, to discharge its liabilities and to distribute to its stockholders any remaining assets, but not for the purpose of continuing the business for which the corporation was organized. With respect to any action, suit or proceeding begun by or against the corporation either prior to or within 3 years after the date of its expiration or dissolution, the action shall not abate by reason of the dissolution of the corporation; the corporation shall, solely for the purpose of such action, suit or proceeding, be continued as a body corporate beyond the 3-year period and until any judgments, orders or decrees therein shall be fully executed, without the necessity for any special direction to that effect by the Court of Chancery. The powers of the officers and directors of the Company shall continue during this time period in order to allow them to take the necessary steps to wind-up the affairs of the corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Absence of Appraisal Rights**. Under Delaware law, the Company's stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights for their shares of capital stock in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **Abandoned Property**. If any distribution to a stockholder cannot be made, whether because the stockholder cannot be located, has not surrendered certificates evidencing the capital stock as required hereunder or for any other reason, the distribution to which such stockholder is entitled shall be transferred, at such time as the final liquidating distribution is made by the Company, to the official of such state or other jurisdiction authorized by applicable law to receive the proceeds of such distribution. The proceeds of such distribution shall thereafter be held solely for the benefit of and for ultimate distribution to such stockholder as the sole equitable owner thereof and shall be treated as abandoned property and escheat to the applicable state or other jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. In no event shall the proceeds of any such distribution revert to or become the property of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Stockholder Consent to Sale of Assets**. Adoption of this Plan by the requisite vote of the outstanding capital stock shall constitute the approval of the stockholders of the sale, exchange or other disposition in liquidation of all of the property and assets of the Company, whether such sale, exchange or other disposition

------

occurs in one transaction or a series of transactions, and shall constitute ratification of all contracts for sale, exchange or other disposition that are conditioned on adoption of this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Expenses of Dissolution**. In connection with and for the purposes of implementing and assuring completion of this Plan, the Company may pay any brokerage, agency, professional and other fees and expenses of persons rendering services to the Company in connection with the collection, sale, exchange or other disposition of the Company's property and assets and the implementation of this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Compensation.** In connection with and for the purpose of implementing and assuring completion of this Plan, the Company may pay the Company's officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, or any of them, compensation or additional compensation above their regular compensation, including pursuant to severance and retention agreements, in money or other property, in recognition of the extraordinary efforts they, or any of them, will be required to undertake, or actually undertake, in connection with the implementation of this Plan. Adoption of this Plan by the stockholders shall constitute the approval of the Company's stockholders of the payment of any such compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. **Indemnification.** The Company shall continue to indemnify its officers, directors, employees, agents and trustee in accordance with its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended), Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended), and contractual arrangements as therein or elsewhere provided, any applicable existing directors' and officers' liability insurance policies and applicable law, and such indemnification shall apply to acts or omissions of such persons in connection with the implementation of this Plan and the winding up of the affairs of the Company. The Company is authorized to obtain and maintain insurance as may be necessary to cover the Company's indemnification obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. **Modification or Abandonment of the Plan**. Notwithstanding authorization of or consent to this Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby by the stockholders of the Company, the Board may modify, amend or abandon this Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby without further action by the stockholders to the extent permitted by the DGCL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. **Authorization**. The Board is hereby authorized, without further action by the stockholders, to do and perform or cause the officers of the Company to do and perform, any and all acts, and to make, execute, deliver or adopt any and all agreements, resolutions, conveyances, certificates and other documents of every kind that are deemed necessary, appropriate or desirable to implement this Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limiting the foregoing, all filings or acts required by any state or federal law or regulation to wind up its affairs.
