Advaxis announces AMENDMENT OF proxy statement supplement
further reduction in share capital proposal

 

Princeton, NJ – June 4, 2013 – Advaxis, Inc., (OTCBB: ADXS), a leader in developing the next generation of immunotherapies for cancer and infectious diseases, announced that it has filed a Form DEFR14A with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to amend its Proxy Statement Supplement dated May 22, 2013.

 

Specifically, Advaxis has further revised Proposal No. 3 to now decrease the proposed total number of authorized shares of common stock post-reverse stock split to 25,000,000 shares (in the earlier proxy supplement, we proposed a total number of 50,000,000 shares of common stock post-reverse stock split).

 

Advaxis has concluded that stockholder approval of the proposals relating to its certificate of incorporation (Proposal No. 2, the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, and Proposal No. 3, the Authorized Share Decrease Amendment) is more likely to be achieved if Advaxis further decreases the total number of authorized shares of common stock on a post-reverse stock split to 25,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

“We have revised Proposal 3 in consideration of feedback received from our stockholders. Votes previously cast "in favor" do not need to be re-voted. Votes previously cast "against" can be reversed,” commented Thomas A. Moore, Chairman and CEO of Advaxis. “The Board of Directors and management of the company strongly urge stockholders to vote in favor of this revised proposal. Doing so will position the Company to raise sufficient capital to execute its business plans.”

 

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Advaxis, Inc. will be held on June 14, 2013, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, at the Princeton Marriott, 100 College Road East, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.

 

Amendment No. 1 to the Proxy Statement Supplement is being mailed to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 15, 2013.
