Explanatory Note:

 

Mr. Reynolds previously filed a statement of beneficial ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of VolitionRx Limited (the “Company”), on Schedule 13D pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-1 thereunder. On November 9, 2018, Mr. Reynolds filed Amendment No. 1 to the original statement to report his beneficial ownership expressed as a percentage of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock had declined by more than one percent (1%) from the prior filing.

 

While Mr. Reynolds’s beneficial ownership has increased to 2,674,167 shares of Common Stock from 2,562,967 shares of Common Stock reported in the Schedule 13D/A filed on November 9, 2018, his beneficial ownership expressed as a percentage of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock has decreased by more than one percent (1%) from the prior filing as a result of dilution from additional issuances of Common Stock by the Company since such date (as opposed to dispositions of shares by Mr. Reynolds).
