IMMUNOCELLULAR THERAPEUTICS, LTD. (NYSEMKT:IMUC) Files An 8-K Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 1, 2017, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Arthur Kaye IRA FCC as Custodian DTD 6-8-00 v. ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. et al (Case No. 2:17-cv-03250) against ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. (the “Company”), certain of its current and former officers and directors and others. The complaint asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, related to allegedly materially false or misleading statements made between May 1, 2012 and December 11, 2013. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company failed to disclose that it purportedly paid for articles to be published about ICT-107. The plaintiff seeks an award of unspecified damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest, as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees, and other costs. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

It is possible that similar lawsuits may yet be filed in the same or other courts that name the same or additional defendants. The Company does not intend to file further Current Reports on Form 8-K describing the additional lawsuits, or provide updates, except as required by law.
