Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a

On November 10, 2026, Onconetix, Inc. (the “Company”)
held its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The matters voted on at the Annual Meeting were:
(1) the
election of Josh Epstein to serve as a Class II director on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for
a three-year term that expires at the 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until his successor is elected and qualified (the “Director
Election Proposal”);
(2) the
approval, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of up to 154,856,150 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par
value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”) subject to adjustment, upon conversion of the Company’s Series F Preferred
Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, issued to an investor in a private placement transaction which closed on July 29, 2026 (the “Series
F PIPE Proposal”);
(3) the
grant of discretionary authority to the Board to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in order
to effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-15
(the “Reverse Stock Split”), with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, provided that
the Reverse Stock Split is completed no later than the one year anniversary date of the Annual Meeting (the “Reverse Stock Split
Proposal”);
(4) the
ratification of the appointment by the Board of MaloneBailey, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”); and
