 Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Record Stockholder” or “Deep Track Fund”), Deep Track Capital, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Deep Track Capital,” and together with the Record Stockholder, the “Deep Track Entities”), David Kroin (Mr. Kroin, collectively with the Deep Track Entities, the “Deep Track Parties” or “we,” “our” or “us”) and Brett A. Erkman, Jeffrey S. Farrow, Michael Mullette and Donald J. Santel (collectively, with the Deep Track Parties, 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 2025 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 “2025 Annual Meeting”). This Proxy Statement and the enclosed WHITEproxy card are first being mailed to Stockholders on or about April [●], 2025. We believe that the current Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) requires the addition of four 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 Dynavax’s assets. Our nominees include one Deep Track Capital senior executive and three nominees who are unaffiliated with the Deep Track Parties. We are seeking your support at the 2025 Annual Meeting scheduled to be held on June 11, 2025, at 7:00 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time in a virtual format only, for the following:

 (each, a “Deep Track Nominee” and, together, the “Deep Track Nominees”), to the Board as Class I directors for a term of three years, to serve until the 2028 annual meeting of Stockholders (the “2028 Annual
