Item 8.01 Other Events.

The following is an update regarding the pending arbitration proceeding CEL-SCI Corporation v. inVentiv Health Clinical, LLC (f/k/a PharmaNet LLC and PharmaNet GmbH (f/k/a PharmaNet AG):

CEL-SCI initially retained inVentiv, a clinical research organization, to conduct the Phase III Clinical Trial of CEL-SCI's investigational drug Multikine(C) (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection). CEL-SCI terminated inVentiv in or about March 2013 and replaced it with two clinical research organizations, Aptiv Solutions, Inc. and Ergomed Clinical Research Ltd. CEL-SCI's arbitration claim is initiated under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association, pursuant to the parties' contract, and alleges (i) breach of contract, (ii) fraud in the inducement, and (iii) common law fraud. In an amended statement of claim, CEL-SCI has also alleged professional malpractice against inVentiv. CEL-SCI seeks at least $50 million in damages.

inVentiv, which previously asserted (i) a breach of contract counterclaim against CEL-SCI, seeking at least $2 million in damages for services allegedly performed by inVentiv, has alleged additional counterclaims against CEL-SCI, for
(ii) breach of contract, seeking at least $1 million in damages for allegedly using inVentiv's name in connection with publications and promotions, which inVentiv claims breached a provision in the parties' contract; (iii) opportunistic breach, restitution and unjust enrichment, seeking at least $20 million in disgorgement of alleged unjust profits allegedly made by CEL-SCI as a result of the purported breaches referenced in subsection (ii); and (iv) defamation, seeking at least $1 million in damages for allegedly defamatory statements made about inVentiv. CEL-SCI believes inVentiv's counterclaims are meritless and intends to vigorously defend against them.

As a result, the arbitration hearing (the arbitration equivalent of a trial), which was previously scheduled for May 4, 2015, has been tentatively rescheduled for October 27, 2015 through November 17, 2015. The arbitrator has instructed the parties to hold this time period free on their calendars.

Although the arbitrator has allowed both parties to supplement their claims, inVentiv has moved to dismiss CEL-SCI's additional claim for professional malpractice, which CEL-SCI will vigorously oppose.
