OCALA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) (“AIM” or the “Company”) today issued a presentation in connection with its upcoming 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders the (“Annual Meeting”), presently scheduled for December 17, 2024.

佛罗里达州奥卡拉市——(商业新闻短讯)——AIM ImmunoTech Inc.(纽约证券交易所美国代码:AIM)(“AIM”或“公司”)今天就即将举行的2024年股东年会(“年会”)发表了一份演讲,该年会目前定于2024年12月17日举行。

Highlights of the presentation include the following:

演讲的亮点包括:

AIM is executing on its strategy to create long-term value for patients and shareholders by driving clinical development programs in areas with critical unmet needs, especially in the high-value pancreatic cancer space.

AIM正在执行其战略,通过推动临床开发计划在关键需求未得到满足的领域,特别是在高价值胰腺癌领域,为患者和股东创造长期价值。

AIM’s clinical pipeline has significant momentum and is laying the groundwork for commercialization opportunities by delivering exciting data across clinical trials, including in two ongoing studies with AstraZeneca and Merck. These commercialization opportunities are what can drive substantial value creation..

AIM的临床渠道势头强劲,正在通过临床试验(包括阿斯利康和默克正在进行的两项研究)提供令人兴奋的数据,为商业化机会奠定基础。这些商业化机会可以推动实质性的价值创造。。

If elected, the Activist Group intends to seek over $5 million from AIM to pay for its previous takeover attempts and litigation against the Company that the Activist Group lost, in addition to any expenses incurred in connection with its solicitation for this year’s Annual Meeting. The Activist Group disclosed that it does not intend to put this personal reimbursement to a shareholder vote..

如果当选,维权组织打算向AIM寻求500多万美元,以支付之前的收购企图和维权组织对该公司的诉讼损失,以及与今年年会招标相关的任何费用。该维权组织透露,它不打算将这笔个人报销交给股东投票表决。。

Despite AIM’s best attempts at a constructive settlement that would put two of the Activist Group’s nominees on the Board, the Activist Group has continued to insist it receive upwards of $8 million to make all litigants whole in connection with certain litigation as part of any resolution – this represents more than 50% of AIM’s current market capitalization..

尽管AIM尽最大努力达成建设性解决方案,将维权组织的两名提名人列入董事会,但维权组织仍坚持收取800多万美元,以使所有与某些诉讼有关的诉讼当事人成为任何决议的一部分-这占AIM目前市值的50%以上。。

The Activist Group has indicated it would likely appoint Robert Chioini as interim CEO while the Board runs a succession process should its nominees gain control of the Board. Mr. Chioini was fired as CEO of Rockwell Medical in 2018 because of his “sustained mismanagement” of the company and “blatant disregard for shareholder concerns,” according to a Rockwell Medical spokesperson.1 Following his termination, Mr.

该激进组织表示,如果提名人获得董事会控制权,该组织可能会任命罗伯特·奇奥尼(RobertChioini)为临时首席执行官,同时董事会将进行继任程序。罗克韦尔医疗公司发言人表示,2018年,奇奥尼先生被罗克韦尔医疗公司解雇,原因是他对公司的“持续管理不善”以及“公然无视股东的担忧”。

Chioini “refuse[d] to accept the decision” and, without authorization, filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on the company’s behalf “making various assertions regarding the five independent directors who voted in favor of Mr. Chioini’s removal.”2 This behavior indicates, in our view, that Mr. Chioini is unfit to serve as a public company director – let alone CEO..

Chioini“拒绝接受这一决定”,并在未经授权的情况下,代表公司以表格8-K提交了一份最新报告,“对投票支持Chioini先生罢免的五名独立董事做出了各种断言。”2我们认为,这种行为表明,Chioini先生不适合担任上市公司董事,更不用说首席执行官了。。

AIM encourages shareholders to review its presentation and vote FOR the Board’s incumbent candidates – Stewart L. Appelrouth, Nancy K. Bryan, Thomas K. Equels and Dr. William M. Mitchell – on the WHITE universal proxy card.

AIM鼓励股东审查其陈述,并在白色环球代理卡上投票给董事会现任候选人斯图尔特·阿佩鲁思(StewartL.Appelrouth)、南希·K·布莱恩(NancyK.Bryan)、托马斯·K·埃奎尔斯(ThomasK.Equels)和威廉·米切尔(WilliamM.Mitchell)。
