PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON OCTOBER 23, 2003
I. INTRODUCTION
The Board of Directors of Rexray Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the
"Company"), is soliciting the accompanying Proxy in connection with its Special
Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held at 4:00 p.m. Local Time on
October 23, 2003, at 16200 WCR 18E, Loveland, Colorado, and any adjournments
thereof. The Notice of Special Meeting and Proxy Card were mailed to
shareholders on or about October 13, 2003. The Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 2003 has been filed, and a copy will be
available to any shareholder requesting it in writing.
II. OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on
September 30, 2003, as the record date for the determination of those holders of
Common Stock of the Company entitled to receive notice of, and vote at, the
Special Meeting. Persons who were not shareholders on such date will not be
allowed to vote at the Special Meeting. At the close of business on the record
date, there were 1,780,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock issued and
outstanding.
The Common Stock is the only outstanding class of capital stock of the Company
entitled to vote at the Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one
vote on each matter to be voted on at the meeting. Holders of Common Stock are
not entitled to cumulative voting rights. A majority of the shares entitled to
vote present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, is
required for approval of each of the Company's proposals.
Shares of Common Stock that are represented by properly executed proxies, unless
such proxies have previously been revoked, will be voted in accordance with the
instructions indicated in such proxies. If no instructions are indicated, such
common shares will be voted "FOR" approval of each of the four proposals and in
the discretion of the proxy holders for any other matter that may properly come
before the Special Meeting. If a shareholder abstains from voting as to any
matter, then the shares held by such shareholder shall be deemed present at the
meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, and for purposes of calculating
the vote with respect to such matter, but shall not be deemed to have been voted
in favor of such matter. Abstentions, therefore, as to any proposal will have
the same effect as votes against such proposal. If a broker returns a "non-vote"
proxy, indicating a lack of voting instructions by the beneficial holder of the
shares and a lack of discretionary authority on the part of the broker to vote a
particular matter, then in such instance, the shares covered by such "non-vote"
proxy shall be deemed to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining a
quorum, but shall not be deemed to be represented at the meeting for purposes of
calculating the vote required for approval of such matter.
A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to its
exercise at the Special Meeting by filing with the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, Mr. James B. Wiegand, at the address set forth above, a written
revocation of such proxy, or by executing and delivering a duly-executed proxy
bearing a later date, or by simply voting the common shares covered thereby by
separate written ballot to be disseminated at the Special Meeting.
In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, officers, directors and employees of
the Company, without receiving additional compensation therefore, may solicit
proxies personally, or by telephone, telegram or other forms of communication,
including wire facsimile. The Company has not retained a proxy solicitation
firm, and instead, will use its own best efforts to solicit as many proxies as
practicable in the time available before the Special Meeting.
III. PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS; MANAGEMENT SHARE HOLDINGS
The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial
ownership of the Company's Common Stock as of September 30, 2000, by: (i) each

shareholder who owns more than five percent of the outstanding shares of the
Company's Common Stock. Except as otherwise indicated, the Company believes each
of the persons listed below possesses sole voting and investment power with
respect to the shares indicated.

stock, the trademarks and trademark symbol for CytoDyn and Cytolin, and a

Corporation will be converted to one share.

to effectuate the reverse split and increase in authorized shares, as follows:

converted to one shares of common stock. The shares of this class of
common stock shall have unlimited voting rights and shall constitute
the sole voting group or groups which may hereafter be established in
accordance with the Colorado Business Corporations Act.
VI. PROPOSAL NUMBER TWO CALLS FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS TO APPROAVE A CHANGE OF NAME
OF THE COMPANY TO CYTODYN INC.
In accordance with our agreement to acquire the patents and drug trade names,
and to commence a plan of operations as a pharmaceutical company, the board of
directors proposes to change the name of the company to CytoDyn Inc.

company, which can only be done by Board resolution ratified by the
shareholders. On October 10, 2003, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution
to effectuate a name change, as follows:
WHEREAS, the board of directors has resolved to change the name of the
