CEL-SCI Corporation (NYSE MKT: CVM) announced today that the warrants issued in connection with the public offering in October 2013 are approved for trading in the United States on the OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol “CSCIW”.

Investors who participated in the public offering will be sent information by mail from Computershare Trust Company (“the Warrant Agent”) with instructions on how to trade in the “old” warrants for “new” warrants certificates that can be deposited with a broker electronically.

Geert Kersten, CEO of CEL-SCI, said, “We believe that this is a good way to create shareholder value and continue to expand interest in our Company as we continue to make progress on our development of our investigational therapy Multikine*.”

About Multikine

CEL-SCI's lead investigational therapy Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), is being developed as a potential first-line treatment for advanced primary head and neck cancer. If it were to be approved by regulatory agencies (e.g., FDA) for use following completion of our clinical development program, Multikine would become an additional and different kind of therapy in the fight against cancer: one that aims to employ our body's immune system to fight tumors.

In October 2013, CEL-SCI announced it signed a CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) with the US Naval Medical Center, San Diego to develop Multikine as a potential treatment for HIV/HPV co-infected men and women with peri-anal warts. The Company has also recently entered into two co-development agreements with Ergomed to support the development of Multikine for peri-anal warts in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women and to further develop Multikine for cervical dysplasia/neoplasia in women who are co-infected with HIV and HPV.

About CEL-SCI

CEL-SCI is dedicated to research and development directed at improving the treatment of cancer and other diseases by utilizing the immune system, the body's natural defense system. The lead investigational therapy is Multikine, currently being studied in a pivotal global Phase III clinical trial. CEL-SCI is also investigating a different peptide-based immunotherapy (LEAPS-H1N1-DC) as a possible treatment for H1N1 hospitalized patients and as a vaccine (CEL-2000) for Rheumatoid Arthritis (currently in preclinical testing) using its LEAPS technology platform. The investigational immunotherapy LEAPS-H1N1-DC treatment involves non-changing regions of H1N1 Pandemic Flu (See Journal of Clinical Investigation – J Clin Invest. 2013; 123(7):2850-2861. doi: 10.1172/JCI67550), Avian Flu (H5N1), and the Spanish Flu, as CEL-SCI scientists are very concerned about the possible emergence of a new more virulent hybrid virus through the combination of H1N1 and Avian Flu, or maybe Spanish Flu. The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and in/near Baltimore, Maryland.
