DATED JULY [●], 2026
2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
OF
ANAVEX LIFE SCIENCES
CORP.
PROXY STATEMENT
OF
PVG ASSET MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
PATRICK S. ADAMS
PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTE VIA THE INTERNET OR BY TELEPHONE AS SET FORTH ON YOUR GOLD PROXY CARD, WHICH WILL BE AVAILABLE SHORTLY. ALTERNATIVELY, YOU MAY SIGN, DATE, AND RETURN THE GOLD PROXY CARD BY MAIL IMMEDIATELY UPON RECEIPT
This proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) and soon available GOLD proxy card are being furnished to stockholders of
Anavex Life Sciences Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Anavex” or the “Company”), by PVG Asset Management Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Record Stockholder” or “PVG
”), and Patrick S. Adams (collectively, the
“Participants”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies from the holders (the “Stockholders”) of common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at the 2026 annual meeting of Stockholders of
the Company (including any and all adjournments, postponements, continuations or reschedulings thereof, or any other meeting of Stockholders held in lieu thereof, the “2026 Annual Meeting”).
This Proxy Statement and soon to be provided GOLD proxy card are first being mailed to Stockholders on or about [●], 2026.
We believe that the current Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) needs to be completely replaced with six new independent directors
who will bring the expertise, owners’ mindset and skillset required to protect the interests of all Stockholders and maximize the long-term value of Anavex’s assets. Our nominees include one PVG senior executive and five
nominees who are unaffiliated with PVG. We are seeking your support at the 2026 Annual Meeting scheduled to be held on [●], 2026, at [●] for the following:
| |
|
To elect our six director nominees, Patrick S. Adams, Jason Kolbert, Ralf von Ziegesar, Rene Mora, John Boris and Curtis Hogue
(each, a “PVG Nominee” and, together, the “PVG Nominees”), to the Board as directors, to serve until the next annual meeting of Stockholders (the “2027 Annual
Meeting”) and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. |
Through this Proxy Statement and soon to be provided GOLD proxy card, we are soliciting proxies to elect the six
PVG Nominees to become Board directors. PVG and Anavex will each be using a universal proxy card for voting on the election of directors at the 2026 Annual Meeting, which will include the names of all nominees for
election to the Board. Stockholders will have the ability to vote for up to six nominees on the PVG Parties’ soon to be issued GOLD proxy card. There is no need to use the Company’s white proxy card or voting instruction form,
regardless of how you wish to vote.
Assuming one or more of the PVG Nominees receives sufficient votes to be elected to the Board,
your vote to elect such PVG Nominees will have the legal effect of replacing an equivalent number (up to six) incumbent directors of the Company. If elected, the PVG Nominees, subject to their fiduciary duties as directors, will seek
to work with the other members of the Board to maximize stockholder value. However, in case the PVG Nominees will constitute a minority on the Board and, therefore, they may be unable to implement any actions that may be necessary to enhance
stockholder value.
The names, background and qualifications of the Company’s nominees, and other information about them, can be
found in the Company’s proxy statement.
Stockholders are permitted to vote for less than six nominees or for any combination (up to
six total) of the PVG Nominees and the Company’s nominees on the GOLD proxy card. The PVG Parties urge Stockholders to use our GOLD proxy card to vote “FOR” all six of the PVG Nominees.
IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU MARK MORE THAN SIX “FOR” BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, ALL OF YOUR VOTES FOR THE ELECTION OF
DIRECTORS WILL BE DEEMED INVALID.
The Company has set the close of business on [●], 2026 as the record date for determining
Stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2026 Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share
of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the 2026 Annual Meeting. According to the Company, as of the Record Date, there were [●] shares of Common Stock outstanding. The mailing address of the principal
executive offices of the Company is 630 5th Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10111.
As of the date hereof, the PVG
Parties collectively own an aggregate of 327,344 shares of Common Stock (the “PVG Shares”). The Participants intend to vote the PVG Shares “FOR” the election of the PVG Nominees.
