| • | | Directors have average tenure of more than 10 years, have violated fiduciary duty and pay themselves excessive compensation while stock price has lost all value |
| • | | Misled stockholders when said they would appoint two new independent directors and hire an independent compensation consultant to determine fair pay |
| • | | Instead no independent compensation consultant was engaged and only appointed 1 new director who had a prior relationship with Equels and then was appointed chair of the compensation committee |
| • | | AIM’s Board has had ~9 years to showcase their ability and advance the most promising indications of Ampligen but the facts show they have failed across all relevant metrics – clinical progress, financial condition, compensation, shareholder engagement and communication |
| • | | The Kellner Group is comprised of nominees with more relevant skills and experiences that AIM needs desperately – clinical trial success, fundraising success, institutional investor network, Scientific and KOL network, and proper governance skills |
| • | | With a clear framework, our nominees, if elected, can begin the turnaround of AIM to create short- and long-term value for all current and new shareholders |
In order to ensure change actually occurs at AIM, all four (4) of the Kellner Group’s qualified and independent nominees need to be elected to the board. Two nominees would only create a deadlocked board which would prevent the urgently needed change from having any chance of occurring. This is not an election that can afford a split board, and that has been proven by the points above. All of these points are discussed in more detail in our proxy statement and other solicitation materials, which can all be found at https://okapivote.com/AIM/.
