, (together with its affiliates, “Deep Track” or “we”), one of the largest shareholders of Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: DVAX) (“Dynavax”, “DVAX” or the “Company”), with ownership of approximately 14.82% of the Company’s outstanding shares, today issued a letter to shareholders detailing the benefits of electing Deep Track’s four nominees – Brett Erkman, Jeffrey Farrow, Michael Mullette and Donald Santel – to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the upcoming 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on June 11, 2025. For more information, including details on how to vote Deep Track’s WHITE proxy card, please visit www.RefocusDVAX.com.

| Heplisav U.S. sales     |     | $275 million      |     | $268 million |     | Missed by $7 million |
| U.S. market share in 4Q |     | 47%               |     | 44%          |     | Missed by 3 p.p.     |

Management cautions that market share numbers should only be evaluated on a year-over-year basis and dismisses the slip to 43% market share in the first quarter of 2025. But even through that lens the numbers are troubling: fourth quarter market share in 2023 was 42% 2, which means there were only twopercentage points of growth in 2024 – a substantial
