AIM ImmunoTech Reminds Shareholders to Vote “FOR” All Four Incumbent Board Members on the WHITE Universal Proxy Card

Urges Shareholders to Ensure Their Voices Are Heard and to Protect Their Investment by Supporting Current Board

Believes Incumbent Board is Best Positioned to Continue Overseeing the Clinical Development of Ampligen and Deliver Long-Term Value for All Shareholders

Warns Shareholders that the Activist Group’s Self-Interested Agenda Could Put AIM’s Progress at Risk

Highlights the Activist Group’s Lack of a Plan and Persistent Attempts to Mislead Shareholders

AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) (“AIM” or the “Company”) today issued the following statement in connection with the upcoming 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), presently scheduled for December 17, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. ET:

AIM urges shareholders to protect their investment and the Company's future by voting on the WHITE universal proxy card “FOR” all four current members of our Board of Directors (the “Board”).

AIM is confident that its incumbent directors have the right backgrounds and relevant expertise to continue driving forward our strategy to realize long-term value for all shareholders. We have significant momentum in our clinical development programs – especially in areas of critical unmet need – that is laying the groundwork for commercialization opportunities. The partnerships we have forged with large biopharmaceutical companies and world-class research organizations are a testament to the potential of our lead drug candidate, Ampligen.

Allowing the group of activist investors (the “Activist Group”) to take control of the Board could jeopardize this progress, give them access to AIM’s capital to reimburse themselves more than $5 million dollars and destroy the chances of near-term value creation for shareholders. The Activist Group lacks a clear plan for AIM – as leading proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC both concluded – and shareholders should not be taken in by their desperate eleventh hour attempts to make it seem otherwise.

Shareholders can Safeguard AIM by voting “FOR” all four of 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.

It is extremely important that shareholders vote as soon as possible – no matter how many shares they own.

Given that the Annual Meeting is quickly approaching, shareholders are encouraged to vote by internet according to the instructions on their WHITE universal proxy card.
