Item 5.07.
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Renalytix
plc (the “Company”) held an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “AGM”) on December 19, 2024. Each of
the proposals set forth below were voted on and duly passed on a poll at the AGM, as set forth below. Detailed descriptions of these
proposals and of the voting procedures applied at the AGM are contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule
14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 25, 2024. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning set forth in the definitive proxy statement.

There were
215,988,363 ordinary shares of the Company represented
in person or by proxy at the AGM, constituting approximately 65% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.
Proxy appointments which gave the Chairman of the meeting discretion have been included in the “For” total. In accordance
with the terms of the deposit agreement by and among the Company, Citibank, N.A. as depositary and holders and beneficial owners of ADSs
dated July 21, 2020 and as amended to date, holders of ADSs who did not provide the depositary bank with voting instructions on or before
the specified deadline were deemed to have instructed the depositary bank to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the
Company to vote the underlying ordinary shares at the AGM and the voting results below reflect that. A vote withheld/abstain is not a
vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of votes for or against a resolution.

Proposal
1 – To receive and adopt the accounts for the year ended June 30, 2024 together with the reports of the Directors and the
auditors thereon (the “2024 U.K. Annual Report”).

Proposal
6 – That, in respect of the Renalytix Plc 2020 Equity Incentive Plan with Non-Employee Sub-Plan (“2020 EIP”)
adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on 22 June 2020, as approved by the Company at a general
meeting held on 13 July 2020, up to a maximum of 50,000,000 ordinary shares of £0.0025 each in the capital of the Company (“Ordinary
Shares”) are hereby authorized for issuance thereunder (the “2025 EIP Share Reserve”). The 2025 EIP Share Reserve will
automatically increase on 1 January of each year (commencing on 1 January 2026), in an amount equal to 4% of the Company’s total
issued share capital on 31 December of the preceding calendar year, Incentive Options (as defined therein) may be granted thereunder
up to a maximum of 100,000,000 with the directors authorized to do all acts and things as are or may be necessary or expedient to carry
the same into effect, notwithstanding that the directors may be interested in the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may,
prior to January 1st of a given year, elect to increase the 2025 EIP Share Reserve by lower than 4% for such year and as a result the
2025 EIP Share Reserve will increase by a lesser number of Ordinary Shares than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence.
The Administrator (as defined in the 2020 EIP) is hereby authorized to cancel certain existing options and grant replacement options
under the 2020 EIP, and grant enterprise management incentive options to eligible employees who are resident in the UK for tax purposes.
