Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Schedule 14A filed on September 15, 2011 (the “Original Proxy”) is being filed to revise the return instructions for the stockholder consent form contained therein and to make minor corrections to, and expand upon, certain disclosures.

First, the Original Proxy indicated on the notice of solicitation, the first page of the proxy statement and on the form of stockholder consent attached thereto, that each stockholder could return its signed consent by facsimile to Neurologix, Inc. (the “Corporation”).  This instruction has been updated to comply with consent tabulation procedures such that only the holders of the Corporation’s preferred stock may return signed consents by facsimile.

Next, this Amendment corrects typographical errors in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Board and Management”.  Marc L. Panoff beneficially owns 608,333 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, rather than the 603,333 shares disclosed in the Original Proxy.  Christine V. Sapan, Ph.D. beneficially owns 643,333 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, rather than the 633,333 shares disclosed in the Original Proxy.

Finally, this Amendment describes the Corporation’s recent issuances of common stock options, on September 19, 2011, to newly appointed management in order to expand the disclosure in the Original Proxy relating to increasing the Corporation’s authorized common stock to permit the Corporation to issue additional shares to new management.

The Corporation does not believe that any of the foregoing are material revisions to the Original Proxy.

PROPOSAL: ACTION TO CHANGE OUR AUTHORIZED CAPITALIZATION
 
The Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) currently provides that the authorized number of shares of stock that the Corporation may issue is one hundred and five million (105,000,000), one hundred million (100,000,000) of which are shares of Common Stock and five million (5,000,000) of which are shares of preferred stock, par value $0.10. On September 13, 2011, the Board by unanimous written consent approved, subject to receiving the approval of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Voting Securities, an amendment to the Charter to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock the Corporation may issue from one hundred million (100,000,000) to seven hundred and fifty million (750,000,000) (the “Charter Amendment”).
 
The Corporation is soliciting written consents from the holders of the Voting Securities to approve the Charter Amendment. The Charter Amendment will be approved if the Corporation has received, on or before the Expiration Date, written consents from our stockholders representing a majority of the voting power of the Voting Securities. In such event, the Corporation will file the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on or promptly after the Expiration Date. The Charter Amendment will become effective upon such filing.  A copy of the proposed amendment to the Charter is attached hereto as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.
 
The Board believes that it is in the Corporation’s best interests and the best interests of the Corporation’s stockholders to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. As previously disclosed, the Corporation needs additional funds by October 31, 2011 to continue as a going concern in order to carry out its planned business activities and operations, including repayment of its outstanding promissory notes due October 31, 2011.  The Corporation has been attempting to raise such funds, principally through corporate collaboration or licensing arrangements and through private equity offerings.  To date, there are no agreements or commitments with respect to any such arrangements or offerings, but the Board wants to be assured that there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock available for issuance to potential investors in such arrangement or offering, after taking into account the current outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of its outstanding preferred stock and exercise of its outstanding warrants and options.  The Corporation cannot currently predict the number of shares of Common Stock that might be required in such an arrangement or offering, but wants to make sure that sufficient shares of Common Stock would be available for such purpose.
 
In determining the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to be increased pursuant to the Charter Amendment, the Board has taken into account not only the issuance of such shares needed for an equity raise prior to October 31, 2011, but additional shares for future equity raises needed to carry out the planned operations and objectives of the Corporation.  
 
The Board has also taken into account the need for the availability of additional shares of Common Stock for issuance to new management and other key employees (whether as options, restricted stock or other awards) that may be retained by the Corporation in connection with its continuing operations. In this regard, the Corporation, on September 19, 2011, hired Adrian Adams, as its new CEO and Chairman of its Board of Directors, and Andrew Koven, as its new President and Chief Administrative Officer.  In connection therewith, the Board granted inducement options outside of the Corporation’s stock option plan to purchase Common Stock to Messrs. Adams and Koven of 13,660,063 and 9,106,709, respectively, and authorized an increase in shares of Common Stock available for grant under the Corporation’s stock option plan by 10,732,896 shares in order to provide for future additional grants to Messrs. Adams and Koven and other officers, management and consultants of the Corporation.  Of the options granted to Messrs. Adams and Koven, approximately 46% will vest only upon the Corporation’s achievement of certain capital raising transactions and the satisfaction of certain service requirements.   The grants of these options and increase in the authorized shares under the plan were approved by written consent of the Corporation’s stockholders holding the requisite number of voting securities to approve such matters.   In this regard,  the Corporation intends to furnish all of its stockholders with an Information Statement concerning this action so taken by written consent.   The Corporation filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 20, 2011 reporting and describing these events.
 
Under the Charter, stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to the Common Stock.  Existing stockholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase any shares in the event that the Corporation issues additional shares of Common Stock.

PROPOSALS BY STOCKHOLDERS
 
Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation, which is currently scheduled to be held on May 8, 2012, must be received by the Corporation at the Corporation’s principal executive offices by December 10, 2011 if they are to be considered for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement and proxy relating to such meeting.  Stockholder proposals submitted outside the process set forth in Rule 14a-8 will be considered untimely if submitted after February 23, 2012.
 
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
 
The cost of preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy Statement, the Notice and the enclosed consent form will be borne by the Corporation. In addition to the solicitation of written consents by use of the mails, the Corporation may solicit written consents personally and by telephone and telegraph.
 
DGCL 228(e) NOTICE TO NON-CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
 
If the Charter Amendment is approved by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Voting Securities by the Expiration Date, the Corporation will, on or promptly after the Expiration Date, give written notice of such approval to all stockholders, including those who did not provide their written consent.
 
You should rely only on the information contained in this Proxy Statement or other documents to which we refer to give your written consent. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different from what is contained in this Proxy Statement.
