OCALA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / September 16, 2019 / AIM ImmunoTech Inc.

Ellen Lintal
Chief Financial Officer

The Board of Directors unanimously approved Lintal for the senior leadership position. She succeeds Adam Pascale, who stepped down after more than two decades with the company. Lintal joined the company – then named Hemispherx Biopharma Inc. – in 2018 as Vice President of Finance & Control, before being promoted to Chief Accounting Officer earlier this year.

“Ellen has proven herself to be an invaluable member of our Company and I’m grateful to have her join our senior leadership team,” said CEO Thomas K. Equels. “Her extensive experience in finance management and with public company accounting – especially in mergers and acquisitions – may be critical as we continue to move our drug Ampligen through multiple oncology clinical trials and, if those trials are successful, prepare for out-licensing or the acquisition of Ampligen in oncology.”

Before joining AIM ImmunoTech, Lintal spent a decade at an international non-profit organization, serving as Chief Financial Officer and SVP of Finance & Control. Her more than 25-year career also includes public company accounting experience at Corning Inc., Carlisle Companies and AGY, where she participated in executing key priorities specializing in financial management, strategic planning and mergers and acquisitions.

About AIM ImmunoTech

AIM ImmunoTech Inc. is an immuno-pharma company focused on the research and development of therapeutics to treat multiple types of cancers. AIM’s flagship products include the Argentina-approved drug rintatolimod (trade names Ampligen® or Rintamod®) and the FDA-approved drug Alferon N Injection®. Based on results of published, peer-reviewed pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, AIM believes that Ampligen® may have broad-spectrum anti-viral and anti-cancer properties. Clinical trials of Ampligen® include studies of cancer patients with renal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, colorectal cancer, advanced recurrent ovarian cancer and triple negative metastatic breast cancer. These and other potential uses will require additional clinical trials to confirm the safety and effectiveness data necessary to support regulatory approval and additional funding. Rintatolimod is a double-stranded RNA being developed for globally important debilitating diseases and disorders of the immune system.
