Immunovaccine Announces Leading Independent Proxy Advisory Firms Recommend Voting for Share Consolidation Related to Potential Nasdaq Listing

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, April 17, 2018 -- Immunovaccine Inc. (TSX:IMV) (OTCQX:IMMVF), a clinical stage immuno-oncology corporation, is pleased to announce that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass Lewis”), two leading independent proxy advisory firms, have recommended that shareholders vote FOR all items submitted for approbation by the shareholders, including the share consolidation for a potential Nasdaq listing and the Corporation’s name change, at the annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on May 1, 2018.

Although the approval of shareholders for the share consolidation is being sought at the meeting, the share consolidation would become effective at a date in the future to be determined by the board, if and when it is considered to be in the best interest of the company to implement the share consolidation. The board may determine not to implement the share consolidation at any time after the meeting without further action on the part of, or notice to, the shareholders, and there is no assurance whatsoever that the common shares of the company will be listed on the Nasdaq.

ISS and Glass Lewis Share Consolidation Recommendations

Among their positive recommendations FOR all items on the agenda, ISS and Glass Lewis were of the view that the share consolidation allows for enhanced long-term growth prospects of the company by broadening its financing alternatives without impacting shareholder value. Accordingly, shareholders are encouraged to vote in favour of the share consolidation.

Attention Shareholders

Shareholders are reminded to vote their proxy before 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time), on April 27, 2018. Immunovaccine’s Board of Directors unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote FOR all items submitted for approbation of the shareholders, including the share consolidation and the name change.
