Immunovative Inc. Issues Press Release Notifying Shareholders of License Agreement Dispute

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - January 09, 2013) -

Immunovative, Inc. (“IMUN” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: IMUN) has today announced that on January 8, 2013, it received from Immunovative Therapies, Ltd. (“ITL”) a notice that purports to terminate effective immediately the license agreement dated as of December 9, 2011, between the Company and ITL. The notice alleges numerous purported breaches of the license agreement, mainly with respect to the administration and timing of payments from the Company to ITL. It also demands immediate payment of approximately $4.15 million from the Company to ITL for what it claims to be damages suffered by ITL.

The Company believes that it is in compliance with the material terms of the license agreement and intends to contest strongly the purported termination of the license from ITL.

“We believe we are in compliance with the terms of the license agreement. We believe that prudent management requires that ITL provide us with information regarding the more than $3.5 million already disbursed from IMUN to ITL as well its plans for future disbursements,” said Seth Shaw, chief executive officer of the Company. “ITL’s purported attempt to terminate the license agreement will be vigorously contested. We will not be dissuaded in our efforts to create and preserve value for IMUN stockholders by disputes arising from ITL’s unwillingness to provide financial information and accountability to us.”

Immunovative Inc. or The Company has retained the international law firm of Winston & Strawn LLP to advise it with respect to this dispute.
