PVG Asset Management, a significant shareholder of Anavex Life Sciences, has launched a proxy contest calling for complete board reconstitution, citing operational failures, governance issues, and failure to deliver shareholder value. PVG has nominated six biotechnology-experienced directors to replace the current board, criticizing the company's underperformance relative to peers, delayed clinical trials for its lead drug blarcamesine, significant executive departures, and recent stock decline amid broader biotech sector gains.
