Item 8.01

Other Events.

On January 19, 2024, a purported shareholder class action complaint, captioned Eric Olmstead v. BioVie Inc. et al., No. 3:24-cv-00035, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, naming BioVie Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its officers and/or directors as defendants. The lawsuit alleges that the Company made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact relating to the Company’s business, operations, compliance, and prospects, including information related to the study and trial of NE3107, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The class action is on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities during the period from August 5, 2021 through November 29, 2023 and seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees.

The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend the case vigorously. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Company is unable to make any prediction regarding the outcome of the litigation. The Company does not intend to file further Current Reports on Form 8-K describing any additional lawsuits that may be filed that are based on allegations substantially similar to those described above.
