On November 1, 2022, the AIM Stockholder Full Value Committee issued the press release that appears below.
Statement of the ASFV Committee on Ruling in Delaware Action
Jonathan Jorgl, an AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) (AIM) stockholder, together with his nominees, Robert L. Chioini and Michael Rice (collectively, the AIM Stockholder Full Value Committee or the ASFV Committee), today announced that on October 28, 2022, the Delaware Court of Chancery found that Mr. Jorgl did not meet his burden of proving entitlement to mandatory injunctive relief, stating that factual questions prevented grant of judgment for Mr. Jorgl as a matter of law, and as a result Mr. Jorgls motion for a preliminary injunction was denied. The ASFV Committee fundamentally disagrees with the ruling and the Courts conclusions as to matters of fact and law. However, given the late date of the ruling and the imminent annual meeting to be held on November 3, 2022, the ASFV Committee does not currently intend to proceed to trial or seek an appeal.
Consequently, and as disclosed in the ASFV Committees proxy statement, we will be unable to present Mr. Chioini and Mr. Rice to be considered for election to the board and proxies granted to us will not be voted at the annual meeting. Any stockholder that previously delivered a gold proxy card to the ASFV Committee, and wishes to be represented at the annual meeting, should consult the Companys proxy materials for information. Although stockholders will not be able to vote for Mr. Chioini and Mr. Rice at the annual meeting or by the Companys proxy materials, stockholders retain the ability to withhold their votes for the incumbent directors and to vote against the Companys say-on-pay proposal.
The ASFV Committee unequivocally reiterates our position that Mr. Jorgls nominations were not made pursuant to any undisclosed arrangement or understanding and that his notice complied with the Companys bylaws. Based on the ASFV Committees proxy statement, which in our view fully complied with all disclosure requirements and provided all material information with respect to the background of the solicitation and relationships with any third parties, AIM stockholders provided significant support to Mr. Chioini and Mr. Rice and we believe they would have been overwhelmingly elected had the board not denied the nominations. While it is terribly unfortunate that the board appears to have successfully avoided accountability to stockholders, the ASFV Committee has limited recourse at this time and thus will not continue with the Delaware action.
Important Information and Participants in the Solicitation
The ASFV Committee has filed a definitive proxy statement and associated GOLD proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to be used to solicit votes for the election of its slate of highly-qualified director nominees at the Annual Meeting.
