Immune Therapeutics, Inc. Focusing to Drive Shareholder Value

Winter Park, Florida–(Newsfile Corp. – May 6, 2020) – Immune Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC Pink: IMUN) (“Immune” “IMUN” or the “Company”) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of T-cell activation immunotherapy to treat life-threatening or chronic diseases announced it has initiated a corporate plan to drive shareholder value.

Recent economic events require that Immune revisit its business model and explore new opportunities to drive shareholder value. The Board of Directors is evaluating its technology portfolio, looking to focus on near-term opportunities, and strengthening its balance sheet by liquidating idle assets and initiating a new round of capital.

A critical success factor is “focus”, noted Director and Interim CEO Kevin Phelps. To that end, Michael K. Handley, formerly CEO and Director, resigned from Immune to take an executive role at Cytocom Inc., a drug development company focused on oncology. Immune will look to align its oncology assets with Cytocom in which it currently holds a significant equity interest.

Furthermore, Immune intends to enter into a license agreement with Forte Biotechnology Intl. Corp. for veterinary applications of its technology. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, Forte will provide Immune an equity stake in the Company and assume certain of Immune’s financial obligations.

And finally, it is with mixed emotions that the Company announces that Dr. Cliff Selsky, a long term Director, has resigned from the Immune Board of Directors to focus on his medical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company and its shareholders want to express the strongest gratitude to Cliff for his years of dedicated service.
