Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, which have been designed to permit us to effectively identify and timely disclose important information. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024, to ensure that material information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, is appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we made no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Please see Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Part II. Item 1: Legal Proceedings in our quarterly report on Form 10Q for the Quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Since the filing of the March 31, 2024, Form 10-Q:
AIM ImmunoTech, Inc. v. Tudor, et al., in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Ocala Division, Case No. 5:2022cv00323. On April 22, 2024, the District Court issued an order granting-in-part Lautz and Jorgl’s Rule 59(e) and Rule 11 motions, respectively. According to the District Court, when we filed our Amended Complaint, there was “no reasonable factual basis for [our] 13b claim against Lautz,” in light of his deposition testimony disclaiming ongoing participation in the group’s proxy fight. Furthermore, the District Court sanctioned us and our counsel, concluding that our argument regarding Jorgl’s voluntary cessation, and potential ongoing ownership, “was objectively frivolous and advanced for an improper argument” in light of Jorgl’s affidavit and redacted stock transfer form. The District Court limited Rule 11 sanctions to Jorgl’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred after March 28, 2023 and ordered further briefing on fee applications and an appropriate PSLRA sanction, with Jorgl and Lautz’s initial briefs due on May 7, 2024. On April 29, 2024, Jorgl filed an unopposed motion to extend his filing deadline to May 17, 2024. We dispute the Court’s order and we are considering whether to appeal. On April 22, 2024,the court entered an order finding Jorgl and Lautz were entitled to recover attorney’s fees and costs and entered judgment on behalf of Jorgl for $216,936, and on behalf of Lautz for $76,473. AIM filed a motion to stay enforcement of the judgment pending the 11th Circuit Appeal, and the Court granted a stay on June 21, 2024. The appeal does not seek damages. AIM filed a notice of appeal of the order of dismissal and the order denying its motion for reconsideration that were entered in AIM ImmunoTech, Inc. v. Tudor, et al., Case 5:22-cv-00323 (M.D. Fla. 2022) (above). The initial brief by AIM is due on September 4, 2024.
On June 18, 2024, The Carlyle Appelate Law firm was engaged for the above referenced appeal. It is anticipated that a Notice of appearance by Carlyle will be filed in that matter. AIM is exposed in this matter for the amount of those Judgments (which have been bonded by AIM), interest on those judgements, as well as potentially paying attorney’s fees in the event the appeal is unsuccessful.
Kellner v. AIM ImmunoTech Inc. et al., in the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware, Case No. 3, 2024. On January 16, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court granted-in-part Kellner’s motion to expedite and scheduled oral argument before the en banc Delaware Supreme Court for April 10, 2024. On April 10, 2024, the en banc Delaware Supreme Court heard oral argument from AIM and Kellner in this matter and took the matter under consideration. On July 11, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court issued a decision affirming in part and reversing in part the Court of Chancery’s December 28, 2023 opinion, and not remanding the matter to the Court of Chancery. The Supreme Court held that certain of the bylaws adopted by the board were legally invalid and inequitable. The board has subsequently revised the bylaws to address and correct said deficiencies. The Delaware Supreme Court also held that no further action was required with respect to Kellner’s rejected nominations because Kellner and his nominees engaged in deceptive conduct during the nomination process, including by submitting false and misleading information in connection with their nominations. Prior to this appeal, the magistrate noted in her December 28, 2023 decision, that “[t]he context in which the Board received [the Kellner Notice] “cannot be ignored.” “The Kellner Notice followed a proxy contest where Jorgl became an AIM stockholder solely to front a nomination and shield undisclosed persons behind the scenes. Those persons included two white collar criminals—one of whom had become increasingly hostile to AIM and had misrepresented himself as an AIM representative to third parties. It would have been obvious to the Board that the new nomination behind Kellner carried over from the prior year. Chioini was a constant, Deutsch remained involved (now as a nominee), and Baker Hostetler continued to advise the effort. The threat to return ‘guns blazing’ in 2023 came to fruition.”
On July 26, 2024, Kellner filed a Motion for Reargument, requesting the Supreme Court to reconsider certain aspects of its ruling and requesting clarification that the trial court retains jurisdiction for any fee applications. By order dated July 29, 2024, the Supreme Court denied Kellner’s Motion for Reargument, directed that the case be closed, and specifically ruled that “The case is not remanded for an award of attorneys’ fees and costs” and deemed that the “this Case is Closed.”
BioLife

No estimate can be made at this time regarding the scheduling or ultimate determination of the matters set forth in the Petition and the underlying issues presented in the appeal. No judgement can be made at this time of the likelihood of the Company prevailing on its claims.
