OCALA, Fla., Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE American: AIM) – AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (“AIM” or the “Company”), an immuno-pharma company focused on the research and development of therapeutics to treat multiple types of cancers, immune disorders and viral diseases, announced today changes to the previously announced key dates relating to its proposed rights offering (the “Rights Offering”). Except as expressly amended herein, the terms of the Rights Offering remain unchanged. Assuming that the Rights Offering is fully subscribed, the Company will receive gross proceeds of $12 million, less expenses related to the Rights Offering.

The Subscription Rights will be non-transferable and may only be exercised during the amended subscription period of Wednesday, February 11, 2026 through 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, February 27, 2026, unless extended by AIM.

The amended calendar for the Rights Offering is now as follows:

  • February 9, 2026: Ownership Day – in order to be considered a stockholder of record on February 10, 2026, shares should be acquired by this date (open market purchases of Common Stock should be completed by February 9, 2026 to be considered a stockholder of record on the Record Date).
  • February 10, 2026: Record Date (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time)
  • February 11, 2026: Distribution Date; Subscription Period Begins
  • February 27, 2026: Subscription Period Ends 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time

The Rights Offering will include an over-subscription privilege which permits each holder of Subscription Rights that exercises such holder’s basic Subscription Right in full to purchase additional subscriptions (if any) that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the Rights Offering. The availability of the over-subscription privilege will be subject to certain terms and restrictions set forth in the prospectus. If the aggregate subscriptions (basic subscriptions plus over-subscriptions) exceed the number of subscriptions offered in the Rights Offering, then the aggregate over-subscription amount will be pro-rated among the holders exercising their respective over-subscription privileges (in proportion to the number of subscriptions held after giving effect to all basic subscriptions).

Certain of AIM’s leadership have indicated to the Company on a non-binding basis that they intend to participate in the Rights Offering, including Board member and Chief Executive Officer Thomas K. Equels.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the exercise of subscriptions for general corporate purposes – including clinical trial expenses and manufacturing expenses associated with prospective Phase 2/3 pancreatic cancer trials – and allocate a portion of the net proceeds to repay, according to their terms, certain existing debt obligations.

The Rights Offering will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Friday, February 27, 2026, unless it is extended or earlier terminated by the Company, If the Company elects to extend the Rights Offering, it will issue a press release announcing the extension no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the next business day after the most recently announced expiration date of the Rights Offering. The Company may extend the Rights Offering for additional periods in its sole discretion for any reason up to an additional 45 days. Once made, all exercises of subscriptions are irrevocable.

The Company expects that Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC, the information agent for the Rights Offering, will mail rights certificates and a copy of the prospectus for the Rights Offering to holders of record of Common Stock and Participating Securities as of the Record Date beginning on or about February 11, 2026. Holders of securities held in “street name” through a brokerage account, bank or other nominee will not receive physical rights certificates and must instruct their broker, bank or other nominee whether to exercise Subscription Rights on their behalf.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements included in this press release may be forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among other things, for those statements, the Company claims the protection of safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any forward-looking statements set forth in the press release speak only as of the date of the press release. The Company does not undertake to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof. The Company is in various stages of seeking to determine whether Ampligen® will be effective in the treatment of multiple types of viral diseases, cancers, and immune-deficiency disorders and disclosures in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on our website and in our press releases set forth our current and anticipated future activities. These activities are subject to change for a number of reasons. Significant additional testing and trials will be required to determine whether Ampligen® will be effective in the treatment of these conditions. Results obtained in animal models do not necessarily predict results in humans. Human clinical trials will be necessary to prove whether or not Ampligen® will be efficacious in humans. No assurance can be given as to whether current or planned clinical trials will be successful or yield favorable data and the trials are subject to many factors including lack of regulatory approval(s), lack of study drug, or a change in priorities at the institutions sponsoring other trials. Even if these clinical trials are initiated, we cannot assure that the clinical studies will be successful or yield any useful data or require additional funding. Among the studies are clinical trials that provide only preliminary data with a small number of subjects, and no assurance can be given that the findings in these studies will prove true or that the study or studies will yield favorable results. No assurance can be given that future studies will not result in findings that are different from those reported in the studies referenced in our reports filed with the SEC, on the Company’s website and in its press releases. Operating in foreign countries carries with it a number of risks, including potential difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights. The Company cannot assure that its potential foreign operations will not be adversely affected by these risks.
