NYMOX REPORTS VICTORY IN BAHAMAS LITIGATION AGAINST TERMINATED EX-EMPLOYEES COURT AWARDS COSTS AND DAMAGES
The Bahamas Supreme Court has issued a formal order officially putting an end to
the Bahamas litigation brought by terminated ex-employees of Nymox Pharmaceutical Corp. The order also awards to Nymox its costs
incurred in defending the ill-conceived lawsuit, as well as damages Nymox has suffered as a result of the
litigation.
The court order states the following:
- The interim injunction order is set aside;
- The damages caused to the company shall be assessed by a registrar and paid by the
claimants (the persons who filed the lawsuit);
- The claimants shall pay the company's net costs for the entire action.
This is the first of more than one action by and between the company and Randall Lanham (former
general counsel for Nymox), Chris Riley (former short-term chief financial officer), Richard Cutler (former external
Counsel and member of board and their financial backers.
Dr. Paul Averback, the company chief executive officer, stated: "The malfeasances by these persons has been a costly
and time-consuming distraction for our hard-working, diligent management and board, and our great
supportive shareholders. We have much more important and more positive things to do. Our shareholders
were not fooled by the transparent mischief initiated with these attempts to take control of company
properties, which these individuals did not make, develop, own or even faintly or remotely understand on
any adequate technical or business level. We are delighted to continue to celebrate the departure of these
individuals after they were fired last year, and the court verdict is a positive further step forward. The
amounts of expenses plus damages is in process, and we will report further when we have that exact
information. A hands-down victory for Nymox and for our great shareholders."
Dr. Averback continued: "The company has two submissions under review for its Nymozarfex drug
treatment for prostate enlargement. The company also has the drug in development for prostate cancer.
We are very happy to report that the work of the company has proceeded methodically. We cannot
guarantee things that we do not control. One thing we do control, and we can guarantee, is that our
extended team gives 110 per cent and does the maximum -- we are working for our shareholders, and in their
best interests."
About Nymox Pharmaceutical Corp.
Nymox is in the process of submitting applications for the approval to market the company's first in class drug
Nymozarfex to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is one of the most common
conditions affecting middle aged and elderly men throughout the world. BPH can be devastating to men who suffer
from the condition. Current treatments are associated with numerous intolerable side effects, including sexual
problems, such as impotence and retrograde ejaculation. Medications for BPH have been associated with prostate
cancer, depression, gynecomastia and other adverse effects. The majority of men stop taking the available
medications due to these and other problems. Surgery is often needed for advanced BPH. Surgery is usually
effective but it is not without risks, including the discomforts of surgery in general and possible side effects of BPH
surgery specifically, such as permanent retrograde ejaculation for many patients.
