CEL-SCI Announces Combination of Common Stock
When the combination of stock becomes effective, every 30 shares of common stock will be converted into 1 share of common stock. The combination of common stock will not eliminate any shareholders of record since any fractional share resulting from the combination of common stock will be rounded to the nearest whole share. The exercise price of all outstanding warrants and options, as well as the shares issuable upon the exercise of the outstanding warrants and options, will also be proportionately adjusted.
'We believe that the next few months may present us with a number of major catalysts. Hopefully this will lead to more interest from investors. The combination of common stock is needed for two reasons: 1) our low stock price prohibits many funds from investing in CEL-SCI and 2) the major US stock exchanges have made it clear that they want listed companies to have a higher share price. Therefore we believe that this is an appropriate time to implement a combination that will bring our share price to levels where more investors, as well as funds, can buy and trade our stock. We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders as we advance our investigational drug and drug candidates through our clinical development program with a goal towards delivering better treatment alternatives for cancer, autoimmune and infectious diseases,' stated CEL-SCI CEO Geert Kersten.
It is not necessary for stockholders to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates in connection with the combination of common stock although stockholders may do so if they wish. Please direct any questions you might have concerning the combination of common stock to your broker or our transfer agent Computershare Trust Company by calling (800) 962-4284.
About CEL-SCI Corporation
CEL-SCI believes that boosting a patient's immune system before surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have damaged it, should provide the greatest possible impact on survival. Multikine is designed to help the immune system "target" the tumor at a time when the immune system is still relatively intact and thereby thought to be better able to mount an attack on the tumor.
Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), given right after diagnosis and before surgery, has been dosed in over 740 patients and received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for neoadjuvant therapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the head and neck. Based on the data from the completed randomized controlled Phase 3 study, the FDA concurred with CEL-SCI's target patient selection criteria and gave the go-ahead to conduct a confirmatory Registration Study. The study will enroll 212 newly diagnosed locally advanced primary treatment naïve resectable head and neck cancer patients with no lymph node involvement (determined via PET scan) and with low PD-L1 tumor expression (determined via biopsy), representing about 100,000 patients annually.
The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and near/in Baltimore, Maryland.

FDA Reveals Which Kinds of Eggs May Be Contaminated with Salmonella
In a June news release, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revealed that "brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs" from the August Egg Company have "the potential" to be contaminated with salmonella. The outlet added that the eggs were "sold under multiple different brand names at restaurants and retailers" and should "no longer be available for sale." Those brands are Clover, First Street, Nuaid, O Organics, Marketside, Raleys, Simple Truth, Sun Harvest, and Sunnyside. According to People, over 1.7 million eggs have been recalled in nine states: California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana, and Illinois. On June 6, 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed they were investigating the "multi-state outbreak of salmonella infections." Mayo Clinic states that while some people with salmonella may have no symptoms, most experience a range of symptoms, like abdominal cramps, within 8 to 72 hours. "In some cases, diarrhea can cause severe dehydration and requires prompt medical attention. Life-threatening complications also may develop if the infection spreads beyond the intestines. The risk of getting salmonella infection is higher with travel to countries without clean drinking water and proper sewage disposal." At this time, 21 people have been hospitalized due to infection, according to the FDA. In a statement, the August Egg Company shared, "We believe it is appropriate out of an abundance of caution to conduct this voluntary recall, as consumers may still have these eggs in their homes. It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens." The company concluded, "We are committed to addressing this matter fully and to implementing all necessary corrective actions to ensure this does not happen again."FDA Reveals Which Kinds of Eggs May Be Contaminated with Salmonella first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 7, 2025

Food recall: Brown eggs sold at grocery stores across California have salmonella risk
A California company is recalling 1.7 million cartons of brown eggs — sold at stores including Walmart in nine states including California — because the eggs may be contaminated with salmonella bacteria. August Egg Company of Hilmar is recalling 1,700,000 dozen brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs for potential salmonella risk. The eggs were distributed over the last four months, some with sell by dates as late as June 19, according to the recall notice from the Food and Drug Administration. The eggs are linked to an ongoing Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak in seven states, in which 79 people have been sickened and at least 21 hospitalized, but no deaths have been reported, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of the people sickened (63) live in California, according to the CDC. Nevada and Washington reported four illnesses each, with additional cases in Arizona (3), New Jersey (2), Nebraska (2), Kentucky (1). Ill people in Kentucky, New Jersey, and Washington reported traveling to California and Nevada before they got sick. Most of those sickened (90%) reported eating eggs, the CDC said. Some samples taken by the FDA during an inspection at August Egg Company's processing facility tested positive for the strain of salmonella similar to those related to the persons sickened in the outbreak, the CDC said. August Egg Co. said its internal food safety team is conducting its own investigation to "identify what measures can be established to prevent this situation from recurring," the company said in a statement accompanying the recall. 'It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens."

August Egg Co. said consumers can identify the recalled eggs by the plant code on one side of the egg carton. They can return the eggs to the place of purchase for a refund. Consumers with questions can call the company at 1-800-710-2554, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT. Here's the products recalled with plant code and UPC.

Symptoms of salmonella infection – including diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps – typically arise six hours to six days after exposure and may last 4 to 7 days. Severe infections can also include aches, headaches, elevated fever, lethargy, rashes, and blood in the urine or stool. Salmonella poisoning, also known as salmonellosis, is a common gastrointestinal infection in California, with about 5,000 confirmed cases annually, according to the California Department of Public Health. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that around 3,000 people die from a foodborne illness, and of those about 420 people die from Salmonella infections.
