Anavex urges vote for its six director nominees as PVG Group seeks board seats ahead of annual meeting

The contest follows the April 30, 2026 firing of CEO Christopher Missling for cause, with Missling refusing to resign as a director.

Missling has filed arbitration seeking severance and other compensation, while also suing four independent directors in New York state court for alleged fiduciary breaches.

Anavex faces a proxy fight at its 2026 annual meeting, with PVG Asset Management and Patrick S. Adams nominating six rival director candidates.

The board’s executive committee urged investors to vote its white universal proxy card for its six nominees, rejecting PVG’s slate.
