NYMOX PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION SUES ASCELLAHEALTH FOR $250 MILLION
This week, Nymox Pharmaceutical Corp. was forced to file a lawsuit in California Superior Court, Orange county, to protect its
shareholders' interests, as Nymox alleges that a would-be black knight competitor that resorted to illegal
and unlawful corporate espionage because it could not garner the support of enough Nymox shareholders
by legitimate means. This company is defendant AscellaHealth LLC. Unlike even a
contentious hostile takeover bid, Ascella engaged in unlawful means in repeated attempts to gain control
of Nymox for its own advantage, at what would have been the expense of Nymox's shareholders.
The lawsuit contends the following.
Ascella's conduct included using connections with (now-former) Nymox corporate officers and
directors, including its general counsel, to pass off an investment proposal as a way to gain
access to highly confidential and proprietary company information and to take control of the
company's assets by a kick-back scheme.
After this scheme was uncovered and thwarted, Ascella has continued relentlessly in its attempts
to interfere with Nymox's relationship with its shareholders, including publishing confidential
Nymox information using a front organization called Committee to Restore Nymox Shareholder
Value, and undertaking a failed attempt to organize a sham shareholder meeting to take control
of Nymox.
Ascella presumably thought that Nymox would cave under these coordinated assaults on its business,
allowing Ascella to reap the years of Nymox's efforts to take its pipeline drugs, including Nymozarfex,
to market.
Ascella did not count on the resiliency of Nymox's management, the loyalty of its shareholders and other
stakeholders, and the strength of the justice system in both the United States and the Bahamas. Nymox
is confident that it will be vindicated in court. Nymox has not been deterred from its core business mission
of bringing life changing drugs to market and looks forward to continued success notwithstanding the bad
acts of Ascella. The company will be seeking $250-million in compensatory and punitive damages.
