SHAREHOLDER ALERT: WeissLaw LLP Investigates Akers Biosciences, Inc. NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2020

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors of Akers Biosciences, Inc. ("Akers" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AKER) in connection with the Company's proposed merger with privately-held MyMD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("MyMD"). Under the terms of the merger agreement, Akers and MyMD will combine resulting in current MyMD stockholders owning 80% of the newly-combined post-close company, leaving Akers stockholders with a mere 20% of the new entity. Additionally, the merger agreement also provides for cash and stock payments to MyMD stockholders under certain circumstances. The combined company will continue to trade on the NASDAQ under the new ticker symbol "MYMD."
