Appointment of Director
On August 6, 2026, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Elena Ridloff as a member of the Board, effective immediately. As a Class I director, Ms. Ridloff’s term lasts until the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, and until her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until her earlier death, resignation or removal.
Elena Ridloff, CFA, age 46, has served as a member of the board of directors of Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. since March 2021. Ms. Ridloff has served as the Chief Financial Officer of Sionna Therapeutics, Inc., a publicly traded life sciences company, since September 2021. Ms. Ridloff previously served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc., or ACADIA, a publicly traded pharmaceutical company. Ms. Ridloff joined ACADIA in April 2018 as Senior Vice President, Investor Relations, where she led investor and financial communications activities, and served as ACADIA’s Chief Financial Officer from October 2018 to September 2021. Before ACADIA, Ms. Ridloff held various roles at Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Alexion, including Executive Director, Investor Relations from April 2014 to January 2016, and Vice President, Investor Relations from January 2016 to March 2018. Prior to joining Alexion, Ms. Ridloff served as the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Member of BIOVISIO, an independent consulting firm providing strategic, financial and investor relations counsel to the life sciences industry, from January 2012 to April 2014. Ms. Ridloff also spent over a decade as an institutional investor and from July 2005 to January 2012 served as Managing Director at Maverick Capital, a hedge fund, where she was responsible for investments in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device and life science sectors. From September 2020 until its acquisition by Concentra Biosciences, LLC in June 2025, Ms. Ridloff served on the board of directors of Kronos Bio, Inc. Ms. Ridloff earned her B.A. in history and sociology of science from the University of Pennsylvania and is a Chartered Financial Analyst. We believe Ms. Ridloff is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to her financial and accounting expertise and her experience in the finance and life sciences industries.
In connection with her appointment as a director, Ms. Ridloff received an inaugural grant of options to purchase up to a total of 50,740 shares of the Company’s common stock, effective August 6, 2026, which vest on a monthly basis over a three year period. The foregoing options have an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market on August 6, 2026 (the “Award”). Ms. Ridloff will also receive cash compensation for her service on the Board in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy, as described in the Company’s most recent proxy statement, as may be adjusted from time to time as set forth in the Company’s filings and reports made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There is no relationship or agreement between Ms. Ridloff and any other person pursuant to which she was appointed as a director of the Company and there is no family relationship between Ms. Ridloff and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. The Company is not aware of any transaction involving Ms. Ridloff which would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, other than as set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Ms. Ridloff and the Company will enter into a customary indemnity agreement, substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 10.7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Commission on February 26, 2026.
Resignation of Dr. Daniel Vitt
On August 6, 2026, Daniel Vitt, resigned as a member of the Board. The resignation of Dr. Vitt was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.

As previously disclosed, on May 22, 2026, Daniel Vitt, resigned as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective June 1, 2026.

(12) months (the “Consulting Period”), in addition to serving as Chair of the SAB, providing consulting services on an as-needed basis for up to fifteen (15) hours per month, in exchange for a monthly retainer of €15,000. Dr. Vitt also agreed to non-competition and non- solicitation covenants through the Consulting Period and for six (6) months following the date he ceases to be a member of the SAB. In addition, the Company and the Company Subsidiary agreed to provide Dr. Vitt with severance benefits, subject to his timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company, including (i) a salary payment consisting of his base salary and the monthly installment of his fixed annual salary under the Service Agreement, in each case for a period of sixteen and one-half (16.5) months following the Separation Date, of which the first twelve (12) installments (equal to $670,000 in the aggregate) will be paid in a lump sum on the first regular payroll payday following the Release Effective Date (as defined in the Separation Agreement) and the remaining four and one-half (4.5) months will be paid in five (5) monthly installments (the last at half pay) beginning on the first regular payroll payday following the one-year anniversary of the Release Effective Date, (ii) an aggregate bonus payment of $276,375 (or the Euro equivalent), equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of his target bonus for fiscal year 2026, payable in a lump sum on or before the Company’s first regular payroll payday following the Release Effective Date, and (iii) reimbursement from the Company Subsidiary for the monthly cost of obtaining healthcare in Germany, in an amount not to exceed €1,500 per month, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Release Effective Date.

Re: Separation Agreement
Dear Daniel:
This letter sets forth the terms of the separation agreement (the “Agreement”) which you, Immunic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Immunic AG, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Company Subsidiary”), have agreed in the context of your employment transition.
1. Separation Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, your employment with the Company will continue through August 7, 2026, which will become your employment termination date (the “Separation Date”).
2. Title. Your title will be changed on the date of this Agreement to Founder and Chair of the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board (the “SAB”). As of the date of this Agreement, you will report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”).
3. Service Agreement with the Company Subsidiary. On or prior to the Separation Date, you will enter into an agreement (the “AG Termination Agreement”) with the Company Subsidiary pursuant to which you will cease to be a member of the Executive Board of the Company Subsidiary as of the Separation Date, and your Service Agreement, dated December 18, 2023, with the Company Subsidiary (the “Service Agreement”), will terminate without any ongoing obligations.
4. Final Pay. For the remainder of the employment, (a) the Company will pay you all accrued salary earned through the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings, and (b) the Company Subsidiary will pay you for all accrued salary earned under the Service Agreement through the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. On the Company’s first regular payroll payday following the Separation Date, the Company and the Company Subsidiary will pay you for all accrued and unused vacation days, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings.
5. Expense Reimbursements. You agree that, within thirty (30) days after the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement. The Company or the Company Subsidiary will reimburse you for these expenses pursuant to their regular business practices.
6. Consulting Relationship.
(a) You and the Company Subsidiary will enter into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) which will provide that from and after the Separation Date, and for an initial period of twelve (12) months beginning on the Separation Date (the “Consulting Period”), you will provide consulting services to the Company Subsidiary in addition to serving as the Chair of the SAB. Upon the mutual agreement of you and the CEO, your service on the SAB will continue after the Consulting Period on terms and conditions to be agreed upon by you and the CEO.
(b) As a consultant, you will be responsible for assisting the Company Subsidiary in any area of your expertise, as reasonably requested by the CEO (the “Consulting Services”), and you will work exclusively with (i) the CEO, (ii) any employee of the Company Subsidiary specifically authorized by the CEO, (iii) members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and (iv) the other members of the SAB. You agree to exercise the highest degree of professionalism and utilize your expertise and creative talents in performing these services. You agree to make yourself available to perform such Consulting Services throughout the Consulting Period, on an as-needed basis, up to fifteen (15) hours per month. When providing the Consulting Services, you shall abide by the Company Subsidiary’s policies and procedures. The Consulting Services will constitute a permanent reduction in your services to the Company to not more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services you provided to the Company and the Company Subsidiary during the 36-month period immediately preceding the Separation Date, such that any such Consulting Services shall be deemed a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect.
(c) You may terminate the Consulting Agreement, at any time and for any reason, upon fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice to the Company Subsidiary. The Company Subsidiary may terminate the Consulting Agreement immediately upon written notice to you in the event of your material breach or violation of the Consulting Agreement, this Agreement, any other legal or contractual obligation to the Company or the Company Subsidiary, or any written policy applicable to consultants that has been disclosed to you.
(d) As compensation for providing the Consulting Services to the Company Subsidiary, the Company Subsidiary will pay you a monthly retainer of €15,000 per month during the Consulting Period.
(e) You agree that during the Consulting Period, (i) you will be an independent contractor to the Company Subsidiary and not an employee of the Company Subsidiary, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or should be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship after the Separation Date, and (ii) the Company will not make payments for state or federal income tax, FICA (social security and Medicare), make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain workers’ compensation insurance on your behalf, and you acknowledge and agree that your relationship with the Company during the Consulting Period will not be subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act or other laws or regulations governing employment relationships.
(f) The Consulting Services require use of compatible and approved equipment. On the Separation Date, you will be allowed to retain your computer, laptop, and phone provided by the Company to you during employment. Upon request, you will provide the Company’s information technology employees with prompt access to all such equipment to allow them to remove all Company information from such equipment.
(g) You acknowledge and reaffirm your continuing obligations under your Confidential Information, Assignment of Rights, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement with the Company, as well as any other similar agreement or policy with the Company, which shall apply during the Consulting Period. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that during the Consulting Period and thereafter, you will not use or disclose any confidential or proprietary information or materials of the Company Subsidiary that you obtain or develop in the course of performing Consulting Services for the Company Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1833(b), you shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Any and all work product you create in the course of performing Consulting Services for the Company Subsidiary will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company Subsidiary. You hereby assign to the Company Subsidiary all right, title, and interest in all inventions, techniques, processes, materials, and other intellectual property developed in the course of performing Consulting Services for the Company Subsidiary.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Competing Business” means any business engaged in developing or marketing of (i) therapies for multiple sclerosis and/or (ii) therapies that activate the neuroprotective transcription factor known as Nurr1.

You further agree that you will not publicly disclose any intention to enter into any such transaction during such period. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit you from engaging in any such transaction, provided that the transaction complies with applicable securities laws and the Company’s insider trading policy, is conducted on a confidential basis, and any disclosure is limited to that required by applicable law, regulation, the rules of any applicable securities exchange, or as reasonably necessary to your legal, tax or financial advisers or other representatives who are subject to customary confidentiality obligations.
(d) The covenants contained in this Section 7 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, you agree that if any of the provisions of this Section 7 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, said provision shall be construed (only with respect to the operation thereof in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made) by limiting and reducing it so as to be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of said provision in any other jurisdiction.
3
(e) Breach by you of any provision of this Section 7 will cause the Company and the Company Subsidiary irreparable injury and damage for which money damages may not be adequate. In addition to all other remedies that are available to it, the Company and the Company Subsidiary shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive and equitable relief to prevent or remedy a breach of this Section 7 by me.

About Immunic, Inc.
Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX) is a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic diseases. The company’s lead development program, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), is currently being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, with top-line data expected to be available by the end of 2026. Initiation of an additional Phase 3 clinical trial in progressive MS is expected later in 2026. Vidofludimus calcium has already shown therapeutic potential and a favorable safety and tolerability profile in Phase 2 clinical trials in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, progressive multiple sclerosis and other diseases. Vidofludimus calcium combines neuroprotective effects, through its mechanism as a first-in-class nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) activator, with additional anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects, by selectively inhibiting the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). The company’s development pipeline also includes earlier-stage programs, including IMU-381 and IMU-856, aimed at building a broader therapeutics platform addressing neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases.

Immunic, Inc. Reports Second
Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
– Leadership Team Expanded with Key Executive Appointments, Including Chief Executive Officer, Chief Medical Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors, to Support Clinical Development, as well as NDA and Commercial Readiness –
– Pivotal Phase 3 ENSURE Trials of Vidofludimus Calcium in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis on Track, with Top-Line Data Expected by End of 2026 –
– Continued Preparations for Phase 3 Trial of Vidofludimus Calcium in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, with Initiation Planned Later This Year –
NEW YORK, August 11, 2026 – Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX), a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic diseases, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided a corporate update.
“During the second quarter, we continued to execute across our late-stage development priorities as we advance toward what we believe will be a transformational period for Immunic,” said Erik Lundgren, Chief Executive Officer of Immunic. “As we prepare for the next stage of Immunic’s growth, we have continued to strengthen our board and team with world-class multiple sclerosis (MS) experts whose extensive development, medical, regulatory and commercialization expertise will be instrumental as we execute on our clinical strategy and prepare for the potential regulatory filings and commercialization of vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838). Following the successful closing of our oversubscribed private placement financing earlier this year, we are well capitalized to execute on our key strategic priorities. We believe the milestones ahead position Immunic for a significant near-term value inflection for vidofludimus calcium in relapsing MS, while continuing to unlock the substantial long-term opportunity across the broader progressive MS patient population.”
Jason Tardio, President and Chief Operating Officer of Immunic, commented, “We remain highly encouraged by the consistent and differentiated profile of vidofludimus calcium, supported by additional data from our Phase 2 CALLIPER trial in progressive MS presented at this year's CMSC Annual Meeting, including favorable safety, tolerability, patient-reported, and exploratory efficacy data. Taken together, these findings reinforce our confidence in the potential of vidofludimus calcium to offer a differentiated benefit/risk profile through its novel dual mechanism of action, combining Nurr1 activation with selective DHODH inhibition. We believe this approach has the potential to deliver meaningful efficacy while maintaining the favorable safety and tolerability profile observed to date, positioning vidofludimus calcium as a potentially important new oral treatment option for people living with MS.”
“Our Phase 3 ENSURE trials of vidofludimus calcium in relapsing MS remain on track to report top-line data by the end of 2026,” added Michael A. Panzara, M.D., M.P.H., Chief Medical Officer of Immunic. “With regulatory alignment and precedent surrounding the time to first relapse primary endpoint, the path to regulatory submission upon positive trial results is clear. In parallel, we are preparing to initiate our Phase 3 progressive MS trial later this year, reinforcing our commitment to evaluating the potential of vidofludimus calcium for anyone living with MS.”
