MEI PHARMA, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which was originally incorporated under the name, Marshall Edwards, Inc. (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify as follows:

FIRST. Upon the filing and effectiveness (the “Effective Time”) of this Certificate of Amendment pursuant to the Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, each twenty (20) shares of the Common Stock, issued and outstanding (or held in treasury) immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”) shall automatically without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Old Common Stock, be reclassified, combined, converted and changed into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value of $0.00000002 per share (the “New Common Stock”), subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The conversion of the Old Common Stock into New Common Stock will be deemed to occur at the Effective Time. No fractional shares will be issued, and, stockholders otherwise entitled to receive fractional shares shall have no further interest as a stockholder with respect to such fractional shares. Stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares in connection with such combination will instead be entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional shares, an amount in cash equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date on which the Effective Time occurs. Each stock certificate or book-entry position that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, representing shares of Old Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of shares of New Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Old Common Stock have been reclassified pursuant to this paragraph, until the same shall be surrendered to the Corporation. The Reverse Stock Split shall also apply to any outstanding securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Old Common Stock of the Corporation and all references to the Old Common Stock in agreements, arrangements, documents and plans relating thereto or any option or right to purchase or acquire shares of Old Common Stock shall be deemed to be references to the New Common Stock or options or rights to purchase or acquire shares of New Common Stock, as the case may be.”

SECOND: The stockholders of the Corporation have duly approved the foregoing amendment in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

(ii) In the event of any intervening changes in the authorized number of directors, the Board of Directors shall designate the class or classes to which the increases or decreases in directorships shall be apportioned and may designate one or more directorships as directorships of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality of number of directors among the classes; provided, however, that no such apportionment or redesignation shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(c) Vacancies. Subject to the limitations prescribed by law and this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, all vacancies in the office of director, including vacancies created by newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled only by a vote of a majority of the directors then holding office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director; and any director so elected shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor is duly elected and shall qualify or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal.

(d) Amendment to this Paragraph.
