AIM ImmunoTech Provides Update Regarding Annual Meeting
AIM Will Convene Annual Meeting on December 1st and then Adjourn Until December 29th to Give Delaware Court Additional Time to Deliver Ruling in Activist Group Litigation
OCALA, Fla., November 28, 2023 — AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) (“AIM” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company will convene its upcoming 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) as planned on December 1, 2023, and will then adjourn proceedings, without conducting any other business, until December 29, 2023. The purpose of the adjournment is to provide the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Court”) with sufficient time to issue a ruling with respect to the litigation brought against the Company and its directors by a member of a group of individuals who are seeking to nominate three candidates for election to AIM’s four-person Board of Directors (the “Board”) (collectively, the “Activist Group”).
As a reminder, the AIM Board unanimously determined that the Activist Group’s nomination notice (the “Notice”) is invalid because it omits key information and includes misleading information, ignoring what the Company’s Bylaws require to be disclosed. Unless the litigation results in a finding that the Notice is valid, the Company will not recognize the Activist Group’s attempted nominations and any proxies submitted or votes cast for the election of the individuals on the Activist Group’s proxy card will be disregarded.
The record date for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting will remain the close of business on October 2, 2023.
