venBio Select Advisor LLC (“venBio”), the beneficial owner of approximately 10.5 million shares, or 9.9%, of Immunomedics, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMMU) (“Immunomedics” or the “Company”) and its largest stockholder, today announced that based on the preliminary report provided by its proxy solicitor, Immunomedics stockholders have overwhelmingly elected all four of venBio’s independent, highly-qualified nominees – Scott Canute, Peter Barton Hutt, Dr. Khalid Islam, and Dr. Behzad Aghazadeh – to the Company’s Board at the twice-delayed 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held today.

Commenting on the preliminary results of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Dr. Behzad Aghazadeh, Managing Partner and portfolio manager at venBio, said:

“We are very pleased with the preliminary results of today’s vote, which clearly show that stockholders agree that real change is needed at Immunomedics. This groundswell of support, following the endorsements of the three leading proxy advisory firms – ISS, Glass Lewis, and Egan Jones – will pave the way for fresh, independent perspectives at the Board level, and will ensure that stockholders’ interests are strongly represented.

While it is unfortunate that the Company continues to desperately pursue legal avenues to counter the will of stockholders, we remain fully confident in the merits of our legal position. As the federal court in Delaware stated in its ruling in our favor yesterday, “[T]he Court first finds that [Immunomedics] has failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits.”1

We look forward to getting to work quickly and collaborating with the rest of the elected Board to right the course of Immunomedics and driving true long-term value creation for all stockholders.”
