AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The following information supplements and revises the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (the “Company” or “AIM”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 3, 2022, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, at 2117 SW Highway 484, Ocala, Florida 34473 (including any adjournments, postponements or continuations thereof, the “Annual Meeting”).

Except as specifically supplemented and/or revised by the information contained herein, this amendment to the Proxy Statement (“Amendment No. 1”) does not modify, amend or otherwise affect any of the other information set forth in the Proxy Statement. This Amendment No. 1 should be read together with the Proxy Statement, and, from and after the date of this Amendment No. 1, any references to the “Proxy Statement” shall be deemed to include the Proxy Statement as supplemented and revised hereby. All page references are to pages in the Proxy Statement, and any defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to (i) provide updated biographical information on our Board’s proposed nominees—Thomas K. Equels, William M. Mitchell and Stewart L. Appelrouth—for election as directors at the Annual Meeting; and (ii) clarify the instructions on the attached form of proxy. The Company intends to mail this Amendment No. 1 and a revised WHITE proxy card to all stockholders.

IMPORTANT

As previously stated, your vote will be especially important this year. As you may be aware, Jonathan Thomas Jorgl (together, with the other participants in Mr. Jorgl’s solicitation, the “Dissident Group”) submitted documents to the Company purporting to provide notice (the “Purported Nomination Notice”) of Mr. Jorgl’s intent to nominate director candidates for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. The Company has informed the Dissident Group that the Purported Nomination Notice is invalid due to its failure to comply with the Company’s Restated and Amended Bylaws. Mr. Jorgl has sued the Company and its directors in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”), seeking, among other remedies, declaratory judgment that the Purported Nomination Notice was valid. This case is pending, and the Delaware Chancery Court has scheduled a hearing on Mr. Jorgl’s motion for a preliminary injunction for October 5, 2022.

Unless the result of the litigation is that the Purported Nomination Notice is valid, any director nominations made by Mr. Jorgl will be disregarded, and no proxies or votes in favor of his purported nominees will be recognized or tabulated at the Annual Meeting. As Mr. Jorgl’s nominations will not be recognized as valid nominations under Delaware law unless otherwise so determined by a Delaware court, the WHITE proxy card does not include the names of Mr. Jorgl’s purported nominees on a “universal proxy card.” However, if the result of the litigation is that the Purported Nomination Notice is valid, then the Company will amend the Proxy Statement and the WHITE proxy card to reflect those developments and to include the names of Mr. Jorgl’s nominees on a universal proxy card and mail the revised proxy statement and WHITE universal proxy card to stockholders. In addition, in this scenario, no proxies or votes received on the Company’s previously circulated proxy card will be recognized or tabulated at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, if you vote on the Company’s WHITE proxy card and the result of the litigation is that the Purported Nomination Notice is valid, your votes will not be recognized or tabulated, and you will have to vote again for your vote to be counted.

This Amendment No. 1 is being mailed to you with an updated WHITE proxy card. Because directors will be elected under Proposal 1 by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, there will be no option to vote “AGAINST” any director nominees at the Annual Meeting. We have revised the instructions to Proposal 1 to clarify that if you vote “FOR ALL EXCEPT” and write the name of a nominee on the line below Proposal 1, the proxies will withhold authority to vote your shares for each of the nominee(s) written on the line. If you have already voted “FOR ALL EXCEPT” using the WHITE proxy card sent to you with the Proxy Statement and you wrote the name(s) of any nominee(s) on the line below Proposal 1, your votes will be withheld with respect to such nominee(s) written on the line. If you vote, or have already voted, you can subsequently revoke that proxy by following the instructions on the enclosed WHITE proxy card to vote over the Internet or by telephone or by completing, signing and dating the WHITE proxy card and mailing it in the postage-paid envelope provided. Only your latest dated vote will count. Any proxy may be revoked prior to its exercise at the Annual Meeting as described in the Proxy Statement.

The first sentence in the response to the question “How do abstentions, against votes, broker non-votes, withhold votes and unmarked WHITE proxy cards affect the voting results?” on page 7 is amended and restated to read as follows:

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes. Abstentions and withhold votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1. Broker discretionary voting is not permitted on Proposal 1, and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of  Proposal 1.

The section of the Proxy Statement entitled “Nominees for Election as Director” on pages 28–29 is amended and restated in its entirety to reads as follow:
