Vaxart, Inc. Publishes Positive Data for Its Oral Bivalent Norovirus Candidate in Lactating Women and Their Infants Vaxart, Inc. announced the publication in npj Vaccines of data from a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 trial evaluating a single-dose, oral bivalent vaccine candidate in post-partum, breast feeding women (NCT07254728). Topline safety and immunogenicity results in lactating women were initially reported in April 2024; the newly published study additionally shows vaccine-induced functional norovirus-specific antibodies in breastmilk and serum from vaccinated women, and norovirus-specific IgA in the stool of their breastfed infants. A positive correlation between levels of breast milk IgA and infant stool IgA was observed. There is no approved vaccine against norovirus, which sickens approximately 21 million people in the United States each year, including the 15% of children under age 5 who contract norovirus annually. As previously reported, the vaccine was safe and well tolerated, and reports of mild or moderate adverse events (AEs) were similar between the placebo group and each of the vaccine groups; no AEs beyond grade 2 were reported. Pending a partnership or other funding, Vaxart expects to initiate the next clinical trial of its norovirus oral vaccine candidate in 2026. Annuncio • Nov 07

Richard John Burgess Oppose Vaxart’s Latest Reverse Stock Split On August 21, 2025, Richard John Burgess, Daniel P. Houle, Michael Patrick Kelley, Marc Eustace Pereira, Patrice Raffy, Benjamin Sauv, Matthew M. Wallace, MD and David Whitney (collectively, the “Concerned Vaxart Stockholders”) announced that they have joined forces to demand accountability from Vaxart, Inc.’s board of directors and oppose the Company’s proposed reverse stock split at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held on September 5, 2025. The Concerned Vaxart Stockholders added that they are deeply concerned that the Board has repeatedly disregarded the will of stockholders and refused to respect the outcome of stockholder votes. For instance, at the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders 4 out of 6 directors failed to receive a majority of votes cast in favor of their re-election and stockholders overwhelmingly opposed the reverse stock split and “say on pay” proposals. Instead of taking remedial actions to address this widespread stockholder discontent, all 6 directors continue to serve on the Board, and the Board is yet again seeking approval for a reverse stock split, this time at the Special Meeting, which is being held less than three months after the conclusion of the 2025 Annual Meeting where stockholders emphatically voted down a reverse stock split proposal. The Concerned Vaxart Stockholders urged all stockholders to vote against the reverse stock split at the Special Meeting. Annuncio • Aug 07

Nasdaq Determines to Delist Vaxart Common Stock, Suspends Trading Effective July 08 As previously reported, on July 2, 2024, Vaxart, Inc. received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, it no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company was provided until December 30, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Also as previously reported, on December 31, 2024, the Company received an additional notification from the Staff that while the Company had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, it was eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, or until June 30, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On July 1, 2025, the Company received a written notification (the “Delisting Notice”) from the Staff of its determination to delist the Company’s common stock as a result of the Company’s ongoing failure to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Delisting Notice also stated that trading in the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the open of trading on July 8, 2025. If the Company fails to timely request a hearing by July 8, 2025, then the Hearings Department will take action to follow procedures to delist the Company’s common stock. The Company plans to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series and is considering all options with regard to its stock listing, including efforts to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B)(ii)(d), a timely request for a hearing will stay delisting but will not stay the trading suspension of the Company’s common stock and the Company's securities will remain suspended unless the Panel Decision issued after the hearing ultimately determines to reinstate trading of the securities on Nasdaq. The Company expects that its common stock will begin trading publicly on the over-the-counter market on July 8, 2025, under its existing symbol “VXRT.” The Company has applied to be traded on the OTCQX tier of the OTC Market.

Vaxart, Inc. Reports Positive Clinical Data Demonstrating that its Second-Generation Vaccine Technology Produces Much Stronger Antibody Responses than its First-Generation Technology Vaxart, Inc. reported positive topline results from the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating its second-generation oral pill norovirus vaccine constructs head-to-head against its first-generation constructs. The open-label, Phase 1 trial was conducted in 60 healthy volunteers who were randomized to receive the first-generation constructs, an equivalent dose of the second-generation GI.1 and GII.4 constructs, or a lower dose of the second-generation constructs (n=20 for each group). The primary immunological endpoint was norovirus blocking antibody assay (NBAA) titer at Day 0 and Day 28. In a Phase 2 challenge trial of the first-generation vaccine constructs, these functional NBAA titers correlated with protection against norovirus infection. Although the study was not powered to determine superiority by statistical methods, the increase in NBAA titers with the second-generation constructs was sufficiently large (141% for the GI.1 construct and 94% for the GII.4 construct) to demonstrate statistical significance at the higher dose. Key findings from the study show: Significantly increased GI.1 NBAA titers in the cohort receiving the high dose of the second-generation constructs compared with an equivalent dose of the first-generation constructs. A 141% increase in GI.1 NBAA titers was observed, which corresponds to a 3.2 increase in Geometric Fold Response (GMFR) from 2.2 to 5.4.Significantly increased GII.4 NBAA titers in the cohort receiving the high dose of the second-generation constructs compared with an equivalent dose of the first-generation constructs. A 94% increase in NBAA titers was observed, which corresponds to a 1.8 increase in GMFR from 1.9 to 3.7. The low dose of the second-generation constructs produced a numerical increase in NBAA titers compared with the first-generation constructs. 129% increase in NBAA titers for GI.1 was observed, which corresponds to a 2.9 increase in GMFR from 2.2 to 5.1.84% increase in NBAA titers for GII.4 was observed, which corresponds to a 1.6 increase in GMFR from 1.9 to 3.5.With respect to safety, all norovirus vaccine candidates evaluated in this study were well-tolerated, with no vaccine-related serious adverse events. Vaxart intends to publish the complete results of this study in a peer-reviewed journal. Assuming a partnership or other funding, Vaxart expects to conduct a Phase 2b safety and immunogenicity study that could potentially begin as early as the second half of 2025 followed by an End of Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A Phase 3 trial could then begin as early as 2026.Vaxart’s oral pill technology works by inducing expression of antigen proteins in the cells of humans’ intestines. Vaxart’s second-generation technology was developed in 2023 and 2024 to achieve two purposes: first, to increase expression levels of the antigen proteins, and thus to greatly increase antibody titers; and second, to improve manufacturability. In pre-clinical experiments, the second-generation constructs substantially improved antibody responses in animal models. The trial reported today, for the updated norovirus vaccine candidate, is the first test in humans of the new technology. Vaxart has also adopted the new technology in its latest COVID-19 vaccine candidate and implemented these improvements throughout its portfolio. There is no approved vaccine against norovirus, a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) worldwide that is responsible for outbreaks of infection and illness globally. Each year there are approximately 685 million norovirus infections globally, with 20 million infections occurring annually in the United States. Due to these high rates of infection, norovirus is believed to cause nearly 20% of diarrheal disease globally. Additionally, the economic burden associated with norovirus infection and AGE is estimated at $60 billion worldwide and $10 billion in the United States. New Risk • May 29
New major risk - Financial position The company has less than a year of cash runway based on its current free cash flow trend. Free cash flow: -US$34m This is considered a major risk. With less than a year's worth of cash, the company will need to raise capital or take on debt unless its cash flows improve. This would dilute existing shareholders or increase balance sheet risk. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$34m free cash flow). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$103m net loss in 3 years).

The Phase 2b trial is a double-blind, multi-center, randomized, comparator-controlled study. It is designed to evaluate the relative efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of Vaxart's oral COVID-19 vaccine candidate compared to an approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in adults who have previously been vaccinated against COVID-19. This portion of the trial follows a positive review of the 30-day safety data from the sentinel cohort of 400 participants by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). As announced previously, the DSMB recommended that the study proceed without modifications. Funding for this award was received under Project NextGen, an initiative by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to accelerate and streamline the development of the next generation of innovative COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and enablers.

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 17% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.5% per year for the foreseeable future.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.3% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.3% per year for the foreseeable future.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$96.0m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 50% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (50% increase in shares outstanding).

Vaxart Highlights Progress of Covid-19, Norovirus and Influenza Programs Vaxart, Inc. provided business updates as the Company continues to advance its oral pill vaccine platform. An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) recommended the continuation of the Phase 2b study. The DSMB reviewed 30-day safety data of the sentinel cohort of a Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating Vaxart’s oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate against an approved mRNA vaccine comparator. The FDA is reviewing the 30-day safety data from the sentinel cohort, and, upon favorable review, the study will progress following the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority’s (BARDA’s) approval to the second part of the trial by enrolling approximately 10,000 participants. The primary efficacy analysis will be performed when all participants have either discontinued or completed a study visit 12 months post-vaccination. Funding for this award was received under Project NextGen, a $5 billion initiative led by BARDA and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to accelerate and streamline the development of the next generation of innovative COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and enablers. Vaxart’s project award through the Rapid Response Partnership Vehicle (RRPV) is valued at up to $460.7 million. This project has been funded with federal funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR); BARDA, under Other Transaction (OT) number 75A50123D00005. Vaxart will proceed with a Phase 1, open label, dose ranging clinical trial evaluating its second-generation oral norovirus vaccine constructs head-to-head against its first-generation constructs. The study will measure safety and immune parameters that have correlated to protection in the completed norovirus challenge study. The Phase 1 trial is expected to initiate in the first half of 2025 with topline data expected as early as mid-2025. If the Phase 1 trial is successful, the next step, pending a partnership or other funding, would be to conduct a Phase 2 safety and immunogenicity study that could potentially begin as early as the second half of 2025 followed by an End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA. A Phase 3 trial could then begin as early as 2026. Vaxart continues to advance its avian influenza program. The Company previously published data demonstrating protection in a preclinical model against avian influenza after oral immunization (Clin Vaccine Immunol 2013). Vaxart recently created a new avian influenza vaccine candidate to cover the latest clade 2.3.4.4b. The Company is in the process of conducting several preclinical studies to evaluate the new construct and preparing to manufacture it for clinical use. Vaxart will publish the results of the preclinical studies when complete. Vaxart expected fees and reimbursements under its Project NextGen award of up to $460.7 million, combined with its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, provides the Company with cash runway into 2026, funding multiple key clinical and regulatory milestones. Vaxart will explore various strategies to extend its cash runway through business development partnerships and non-dilutive funding options with the goal of achieving its upcoming clinical and regulatory milestones and maximizing shareholder value.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.9% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.9% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$13m net loss in 3 years).

Vaxart Announces Publication in Vaccines of Preclinical Data Supporting the Potential of Its Mucosal Vaccine Technology Platform in Enabling Therapeutic Vaccination for Hpv-Related Cervical Dysplasia Vaxart, Inc. announced the publication of preclinical data demonstrating the potential of its mucosal vaccine technology platform in enabling therapeutic vaccination against HPV-related cervical dysplasia. The data show that Vaxart’s HPV vaccine constructs can stimulate a potent immune response against the HPV16 proteins E6 and E7 that are known to transform healthy cells into malignant cells. The data, reported in the current issue of Vaccines, also shows that administration of a mucosal vaccine against these proteins in mice with HPV-expressing tumors led to reductions in tumor size and increased survival. Persistent HPV infection plays a causative role in most cases of cervical dysplasia, which leads to cervical cancers if left untreated. While prophylactic HPV vaccines are highly effective if administered prior to infection; they have not demonstrated a therapeutic effect on established infections. In this study published in Vaccines, the therapeutic potential of this platform was assessed in mice bearing HPV-expressing tumors. Animals were treated with vaccine candidates expressing wildtype E6 and E7 antigens from HPV16, engineered E6 and E7 that disrupt their malignant transformation potential, and fragments of E6 and E7 predicted to stimulate an immune response. Key findings from the study include: All vaccines generated a specific T cell response to HPV16 E6 and E7 in mice. All vaccines caused significant reductions in tumor volume and increased survival compared to control groups. Concurrent administration of anti-PD-1 with vaccination further increased animal survival in small and large tumor models compared to vaccination alone. Vaccination led to significant increases in intra-tumoral T cells, including T cells that create a cytotoxic tumor environment, compared with an empty control vaccine. Vaccination led to the generation of antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells. These results suggest that rAd5 vaccines delivered to a mucosal surface may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of HPV-derived cervical dysplasia and might be used to stimulate immune responses against other cancer-related proteins. Vaxart is continuing to evaluate its HPV vaccine candidates. Major Estimate Revision • Aug 23

Vaxart, Inc. Announces Last Subject Dosed in Phase 1 Trial of Its Norovirus Vaccine Candidate in Lactating Mothers Vaxart, Inc. announced that it has completed enrollment and dosing in the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Vaxart’s oral pill bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate focused on lactating mothers. There is no approved vaccine against norovirus, which sickens approximately 21 million people in the United States each year, and 15% of children under age 5 contract norovirus annually. Approximately 3 million sets of parents are forced by this virus to miss work -- approximately 2.2 days on average -- to care for their children. The annual disease burden from norovirus is $10.6 billion in the U.S. alone. Globally, norovirus has become the leading cause of pediatric gastroenteritis in health care settings in countries that have adopted a rotavirus vaccine program. Pediatric deaths in the United States due to norovirus are rare, but they are much more common in the developing world. The Phase 1, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single dose, dose-ranging study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of orally administered bivalent GI.1/GII.4 norovirus vaccine in healthy lactating females of at least 18 years of age. The study enrolled 76 subjects at five sites in South Africa. Subjects are randomized into high- or low-dose vaccine (N=30 for each arm) or placebo (N=16). The primary endpoints are: Frequency, duration and severity of solicited symptoms of reactogenicity (local and systemic) for one week following study drug dose; Frequency, duration and severity of unsolicited treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious AEs (SAEs), adverse events of special interest (AESIs) and new onset of chronic illness (NOCIs) through the active period (four weeks post dose); Serum VP1-specific (GI.1 and GII.4) IgA on Day 1 (baseline), Day 8 and Day 29 (four weeks post last dose); Breastmilk VP1-specific (GI.1 and GII.4) IgA on Day 1 (baseline), Day 8 and Day 29 (four weeks post last dose).

This would translate into about 3 million sets of parents needing to take time from work (approximately 2.2 days on average) to care for their children. Globally, in countries that have adopted a rotavirus vaccine program, norovirus has become the leading cause of pediatric gastroenteritis in health care settings. Pediatric deaths in the United States due to norovirus are rare, but they are much more common in the developing world. About the VXA-NVV-108 Clinical Trial: The Phase 1, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single dose, dose-ranging study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of orally administered bivalent GI.1/GII.4 norovirus vaccine in healthy lactating females of at least 18 years of age and their breast-feeding infants (aged 30 days to 11 months). The study is expected to enroll approximately 76 subjects at seven sites in South Africa. Subjects will be randomized into high- or low-dose vaccine (N=30 for each arm) or placebo (N=16). The primary endpoints are: Frequency, duration and severity of solicited symptoms of reactogenicity (local and systemic) for one week following study drug dose; Frequency, duration and severity of unsolicited treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious AEs (SAEs), adverse events of special interest (AESIs) and new onset of chronic illness (NOCIs) through the active period (four weeks post dose); Serum VP1-specific (GI.1 and GII.4) IgA on Day 1 (baseline), Day 8 and Day 29 (four weeks post last dose); Breastmilk VP1-specific (GI.1 and GII.4) IgA on Day 1 (baseline), Day 8 and Day 29 (four weeks post last dose).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$99.1m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$93m free cash flow). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$99m net loss in 3 years). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (20% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$5m (US$2.1m revenue). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$99.1m market cap).

Vaxart Announces Topline Data from the Phase 2 Challenge Study of Its Monovalent Norovirus Vaccine Candidate Vaxart, Inc. announced top-line data from the Phase 2 challenge study of its oral tablet monovalent norovirus vaccine candidate (NCT05212168). The Phase 2 challenge study enrolled 165 healthy adults, who were randomized 1:1 to receive Vaxart’s monovalent oral tablet vaccine targeting the norovirus GI.1 genotype or placebo. Four weeks after vaccination, subjects were challenged with GI.1 norovirus. The study achieved its primary endpoints of a statistically significant 29% reduction in the rate of norovirus infection between the vaccinated and placebo arms through Day 8 post challenge, a strong induction of norovirus-specific immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, and other immune response endpoints. Vaccination also led to a reduction in norovirus AGE in the vaccine arm compared to placebo, but this was not statistically significant. In a prespecified analysis, the study also showed an 85% decrease in viral shedding in the vaccine arm compared with placebo. Norovirus is the leading cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in all age groups in the U.S. However, there are no approved vaccines for noroviruses. In the U.S. alone, the annual disease burden from norovirus is $10.6 billion, as on average norovirus causes 19 to 21 million cases of AGE, infects 15% of all children under the age of 5, and leads to 465,000 emergency department visits, 109,000 hospitalizations and 900 deaths. Vaxart believes the reduction in the rate of infection and increases in multiple immunologic endpoints in this challenge study support the potential for its norovirus vaccine program to provide significant public health benefit. The Company also believes that the numeric reduction in rate of AGE, while not statistically significant, is encouraging, especially given the high dose of challenge virus used in the study, compared with what would occur in a natural infection. Vaxart is currently conducting additional analyses of the data from this challenge study and its prior norovirus trials with the objectives of defining the timing of a larger phase 2b study, and identifying ways to reduce the size and duration of a subsequent Phase 3 registration study.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 44% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$93m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 44% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (20% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$5m (US$2.1m revenue). Annuncio • Jul 29

Vaxart Receives Written Notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Regarding Non-Compliance with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price Requirement On July 21, 2023, Vaxart, Inc. received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price requirement set in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business days for the period of June 7 through July 20, 2023, the Company no longer meets this requirement. The Notice indicated that the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until January 17, 2024, in which to regain compliance, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). If at any time during this 180 calendar day period the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq staff (the ‘Staff’) stated that it will provide the Company with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. However, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Staff may exercise its discretion to extend this ten day period as discussed in Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). Alternatively, if the Company fails to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, provided (i) it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (except for the Bid Price Requirement) and (ii) it provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure this deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period, and if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible, the Staff stated that it will provide the Company with written notification that its securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and is considering its options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. Annuncio • Jul 12
Vaxart, Inc. Announces Positive Preliminary Topline Data from Dose-Ranging Phase 2 Study of its Bivalent Norovirus Vaccine Candidate Vaxart, Inc. announced positive Topline data from the dose-ranging Phase 2 clinical trial of its oral pill bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate. Preliminary results of the trial (NCT05626803) showed robust serum immune responses across all doses at Day 29 relative to Day 1. Both doses showed a similar increase in serum antibody responses with no statistical difference between the medium and high dose arms. At Day 29, increases in serum IgA, IgG, and BT50, for both the GII.4 and GI.1 strains in the vaccine arms, were similar to those seen in previous norovirus studies conducted by Vaxart. Mucosal and cell-based assay data will be available at a later date. Results from this Phase 2 dose-ranging study also demonstrated that the bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate was well tolerated, with a favorable safety profile that included no vaccine-related serious adverse events (SAEs) and no dose limiting toxicity. Adverse event rates for both doses were similar to placebo. The study enrolled 135 healthy adults at three sites in the United States. The first 10 subjects received open label high-dose vaccine and the remaining subjects were randomized to high- or medium-dose vaccine (N=50 for each arm) or placebo (N=25). This is the seventh clinical trial completed in Vaxart’s norovirus program, and it supports previous findings of robust immunogenicity and benign tolerability. Collectively, the data from these completed trials have shown immune responses from Vaxart’s oral norovirus vaccine constructs to be strong, long-lasting, and comparable to natural infection. Final results could vary slightly from these preliminary data, and additional timepoint measures and mucosal data from this study are expected in the second half of 2023. Vaxart’s Norovirus Program Next Steps: The data reported support the continued development of Vaxart’s oral norovirus vaccine candidate in adult populations and add to the growing body of evidence supporting its clinical utility. These data, along with upcoming topline data from the ongoing Phase 2 G1.1 challenge study, will inform dosage amounts for a bivalent norovirus Phase 2b study, the next step in progressing the vaccine candidate. The Phase 2b study is expected to add safety data that, if successful, will then enable Vaxart to schedule an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), potentially in 2024. Data from the Phase 2 study announced on July 6, 2023, along with a future Phase 3 study, are required for a Biologics License Applications submission to the FDA as the Company pursues a commercial pathway for its bivalent norovirus candidate.

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 16% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$104m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m (US$697k revenue).
