| (1) | In January 2025, each of Ms. Eastland and Ms. Phillips notified the Company that she will be retiring and resigning from     
 the Board, respectively, effective immediately prior to the Annual Meeting.                                                  |

 the Compensation Committee of the Board, each to be effective as of the date of the Annual     Meeting.                      |

Each of the committees has authority to engage legal counsel or other experts or consultants as it deems
appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. Our Board has determined that each member of each committee meets the applicable
SEC and Nasdaq independence requirements.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

For 2024, our Audit Committee was composed of three independent directors: Mses. Eastland (Chairperson),
Phillips and Sun.

The Board determined that each of Mses. Eastland and Sun qualified as an “audit committee financial
expert,” as defined in applicable SEC rules, and that each member of the Audit Committee is financially sophisticated.

The Audit Committee operates under a written
charter that is available on the Company’s website at https://investors.dynavax.com
