Generex Biotechnology Announces Update to Shareholder Stock Dividend

• FINRA Process Not Complete
• New Pay Date to be announced
  • Record Date will remain August 30, 2019
• Dividends will remain the same
  • Shareholders to receive 2 to 5 stock dividend of Generex Biotechnology shares plus an additional 2 to 5 stock dividend of NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology shares

MIRAMAR, Fla., Jan. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation () (OTCQB:GNBT) (“Generex”) today announced that the pay day for the two previously announced dividends in Generex Biotechnology and in NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology have been postponed due to  FINRA’s continuing review and approval process.  Since our last announcement, FINRA requested additional information, which Generex has supplied, but FINRA has not yet completed processing of this information.  We are delaying announcing a new payment date and ex-dividend date until we have a firm estimated of the FINRA approval date, which we believe we will have sometime next week.  Although unfortunate, the delay is temporary and Generex is committed to delivering the dividends to shareholders as soon as the approvals are obtained. Please remember if you sell your shares before the ex-date you will get a pay due bill and your dividend shares will go to the buyer. Conversely, if you buy shares up through the ex-date, you will receive the dividend through the “Pay Due” system and the seller will automatically pay you the dividends through broker to broker transfer.

Joe Moscato, President & CEO of Generex said, “We are working closely with FINRA to answer any and all questions they have about the dividends, and we will provide an update on timing just as soon as possible.”  Mr. Moscato continued, “Personally, I cannot wait to finally pay this dividend that shareholders deserve for believing in our plans that we started 3 years ago on January 17, 2017. Once the dividend is paid, we can concentrate on building the enterprise value of the acquisitions we have made in the orthopedic and wound care space, launching our end-to-end solution for diabetes care in Arizona, bringing NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology public, and closing the ALTuCELL deal to initiate the clinical development of their cutting-edge cell therapy for Type I diabetes. Again, thanks for your patience and we are looking towards positive results for Generex and our NuGenerex family of subsidiary companies in 2020.”
