Effective January 21, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) amended the 2025 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Inducement Plan. Subject to the adjustment provisions of the Inducement Plan, the Board reserved an additional 1,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 2,800,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate, for issuance pursuant to equity awards granted under the Inducement Plan.

The Inducement Plan, originally approved by the Board in January 2025, and the increase in shares was adopted without stockholder approval pursuant to the applicable Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s (“Nasdaq”) Listing Rules. The Inducement Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares, and its terms are substantially similar to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, including with respect to treatment of equity awards in the event of a “merger” or “change in control” as defined under the Inducement Plan, but with such other terms and conditions intended to comply with the Nasdaq inducement award exception.

In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, awards under the Inducement Plan may only be made to individuals not previously employees or non-employee directors of the Company (or following such individuals’ bona fide period of non-employment with the Company), as an inducement material to the individuals’ entry into employment with the Company.

A copy of the Inducement Plan and related form agreements under the Inducement Plan are attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein. The above description of the Inducement Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
