**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report also contains market data related to our business and industry. These market data include projections that are based on a number of assumptions. If these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. As a result, our markets may not grow at the rates projected by these data, or at all. The failure of these markets to grow at these projected rates may harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and the market price of our common stock.

**VAXART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

**NOTE *1.* Organization and Nature of Business**

**General** 

Vaxart Biosciences, Inc. was originally incorporated in California in *March 2004,* under the name West Coast Biologicals, Inc. The Company changed its name to Vaxart, Inc. ("Private Vaxart") in *July 2007,* and reincorporated in the state of Delaware. In *February 2018,* Private Vaxart completed a business combination with Aviragen Therapeutics, Inc. ("Aviragen"), pursuant to which Aviragen merged with Private Vaxart, with Private Vaxart surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aviragen (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, Aviragen changed its name to Vaxart, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "Vaxart") and Private Vaxart changed its name to Vaxart Biosciences, Inc.

In *March 2025,* the Company entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement (the *"March 2025* ATM") with Citizens JMP Securities, LLC ("Citizens") and B. Riley Securities, Inc. ("B. Riley" and, together with Citizens, the "Managers"), pursuant to which the Company *may* offer and sell, from time to time through the Managers, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. The shares were sold pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-*3* (Registration Statement *No. 333*-*270671*) (the *"2023* Shelf Registration Statement"), as previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and a prospectus supplement, dated *March 21, 2025,* with the SEC in connection with the offer and sale of the shares under the *March 2025* ATM. The *2023* Shelf Registration Statement has since expired and on *April 30, 2026,* the Company's registration statement on Form S-*3* (Registration Statement *No. 333*-*295086*) (the *"2026* Shelf Registration Statement") was declared effective. Pursuant to the *2026* Shelf Registration Statement and prospectus supplement dated *May 4, 2026,* the Company *may* continue to make sales under the *March 2025* ATM. The Company will pay the Managers a placement fee of up to 3% of the gross sale price from each sale of shares under the *March 2025* ATM.

Effective *July 8, 2025,* Nasdaq suspended trading in our common stock and the Company was formally delisted from Nasdaq. Our common stock has been quoted on the OTCQX under the ticker symbol "VXRT" since the stock was suspended from trading on Nasdaq on *July 8, 2025.* The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of *1996* prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." As Nasdaq has officially delisted our securities, our securities are *not* covered securities since OTCQX-traded securities are *not* considered covered securities, and we will need to follow each state's blue sky laws for offers and sales of our securities made to residents of that state. This state-level regulation introduces additional compliance requirements for brokers to consider when trading in our securities and complicates the use of our ATM facility.

In *April 2026,* the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the *"April 2026* ELOC") and a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("LPC"), pursuant to which LPC committed to purchase up to $25.0 million (the "Commitment Amount") of the Company's common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Company has the right, but *not* the obligation, to sell shares to LPC, and LPC is obligated to make purchases as directed by the Company, subject to the conditions set forth in the agreement. See Note *13* for further details.

The Company's principal operations are based in South San Francisco, California, and it operates in one reportable segment, which is the discovery and development of oral recombinant protein vaccines, based on its proprietary oral vaccine platform.

**NOTE *2.* Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Basis of Presentation, Liquidity and Going Concern** – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

The Company is a clinical-stage biotechnology company with *no* product sales. The Company's primary source of financing is from the sale and issuance of common stock as well as funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("HHS BARDA"), a division of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response ("ASPR") within the United States ("U.S.") Department of Health and Human Services. In the past, the Company has also financed its operations through the issuance of secured debt securities and preferred stock, proceeds from the exercise of warrants, and payments under collaboration and license agreements. As of *March 31, 2026*, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $61.0 million. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and investments are sufficient to fund the Company's planned operations for at least the period of *12* months from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

**Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

The Company will be dependent upon raising additional capital through placement of its common stock, notes or other securities, borrowings, or entering into a partnership with a strategic party in order to implement its business plan. There can be *no* assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital.

Based on management's current plan, the Company expects to have enough cash runway into the *second* quarter of *2027.* The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of *December 31, 2025*, included in this document, was derived from audited financial statements, but does *not* include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and footnotes related thereto for the year ended *December 31, 2025*, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form *10*-K filed with the SEC on *March 13, 2026 (*the "Annual Report"). Unless noted below, there have been *no* material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in [Note *2*](#Note_2) to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows. The results of operations for such interim periods are *not* necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future periods.

**Basis of Consolidation** – The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Vaxart, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant transactions and balances between Vaxart, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Use of Estimates** – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results and outcomes could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

**Concentration of Credit Risk** – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments at financial institutions that the Company believes are of high credit quality. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions holding the cash and cash equivalents to the extent such amounts are in excess of the federally insured limits. Losses incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The primary focus of the Company's investment strategy is to preserve capital and meet liquidity requirements. The Company's investment policy addresses the level of credit exposure by limiting the concentration in any *one* corporate issuer or sector and establishing a minimum allowable credit rating.

**Revenue Recognition**

<u>*Revenue from Government Contracts*</u>

Under firm fixed-price milestone contracts, the Company recognizes the firm fixed-price revenue as the milestones are substantially complete and the firm fixed-price for the milestone is earned ("firm fixed-price milestone"). Cash received in advance of the completion of a firm fixed-price milestone will be recorded as deferred revenue until the milestone has been substantially completed and earned.

Under cost reimbursable contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as allowable costs are incurred and the fixed fee is earned ("cost-plus-fixed-fee"). Reimbursable costs under the contract primarily include direct labor, subcontract costs, materials, equipment, travel, and approved overhead and indirect costs. Fixed fees under cost reimbursable contracts are earned in proportion to the allowable costs incurred in performance of the work relative to total estimated contract costs, with such costs incurred representing a reasonable measurement of the proportional performance of the work completed, as detailed in [Note *5*](#Note5).

Payments to the Company under cost reimbursable contracts are provisional payments subject to adjustment upon annual audit by the government. The Company believes that revenue for periods *not* yet audited has been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final audit and settlement. When the final determination of the allowable costs for any year has been made, revenue and billings *may* be adjusted accordingly in the period that the adjustment is known.

<u>*Revenue from the *2025* License and Collaboration Agreement*</u>

The Company enters into license and collaboration agreements that *may* include the grant of licenses to intellectual property, research and development services, participation on joint governance committees, and manufacturing technology transfer. The terms of such arrangements *may* include non-refundable upfront payments, development and regulatory milestone payments, sales-based milestone payments, royalties on future product sales, and other contingent payments.

The Company accounts for its license and collaboration agreements in accordance with ASC *606,* Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC *606,* the Company identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the identified performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices, and recognizes revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.

Performance obligations under these arrangements *may* include licenses to intellectual property and research and development services. The Company evaluates whether licenses are distinct from other promised services and whether they represent functional intellectual property that provides a right to use intellectual property as it exists at a point in time or symbolic intellectual property that provides a right to access intellectual property over time. Licenses determined to be functional intellectual property are recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer. Research and development services are generally recognized over time as the services are performed.

The transaction price *may* include fixed consideration, such as upfront payments, and variable consideration, such as milestone payments and royalties. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will *not* occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Milestone payments that are *not* subject to the sales-based royalty exception are evaluated under the variable consideration constraint and recognized when the associated uncertainty is resolved. Sales-based milestone payments and royalties are recognized as revenue when the underlying sales occur.

For performance obligations satisfied over time, the Company measures progress using an input method based on costs incurred relative to total estimated costs to complete the performance obligation. Estimates of total costs are reassessed at each reporting period, and adjustments to revenue are recorded as a cumulative catch-up if estimates change.

**Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements**

In *July 2025,* the FASB issued ASU *2025*-*05,* Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which introduces a practical expedient and an accounting policy election for certain entities in estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions within the scope of ASC *606,* Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted ASU *2025*-*05* effective *January 1, 2026* on a prospective basis and elected the practical expedient. The adoption did *not* have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements *Not* Yet Adopted**

In *November 2024,* the FASB issued ASU *2024*-*03, Income Statement*–*Reporting Comprehensive Income*–*Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic *220*-*40*): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*, which requires new disclosures to disaggregate prescribed natural expenses underlying any income statement caption. ASU *2024*-*03* is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after *December 15, 2026,* and interim reporting periods beginning after *December 15, 2027,* with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU *2024*-*03* will have on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In *December 2025,* the FASB issued ASU *2025*-*10,* Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which adds guidance to ASC *832* on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. ASU *2025*-*10* is effective for the Company in annual periods beginning after *December 15, 2028,* including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied on a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or full retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU *2025*-*10* on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In *December 2025,* the FASB issued ASU *2025*-*11, Interim Reporting (Topic *270*): Narrow-Scope Improvements,* which clarifies the guidance in Topic *270* to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU *2025*-*11* is effective for fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2027,* including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU *2025*-*11* will have on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In *December 2025,* the FASB issued ASU *2025*-*12, Codification Improvements*, which updates the Codification for a broad range of topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after *December 15, 2026,* and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted on an issue-by-issue basis. ASU *2025*-*12* is *not* expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**NOTE *3*. Fair Value of Financial Instruments** 

Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities that approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with inputs used to measure their fair values. The accounting guidance for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about how fair value is determined. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance also establishes a *three*-level valuation hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based upon whether such inputs are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions made by the reporting entity.

**Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

The *three*-level hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques is briefly summarized as follows:

Level *1* – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level *2* – Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are *not* active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level *3* – Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or *no* market data.

The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company's financial assets that are measured on a recurring basis as of *March 31, 2026* and *December 31, 2025* (in thousands):

At each reporting date, the Company performs an evaluation of impairment to determine if any unrealized losses are due to credit-related factors. The Company records an allowance for credit losses when unrealized losses are due to credit-related factors. Factors considered when evaluating available-for-sale investments for impairment include the severity of the impairment, changes in underlying credit ratings, the financial condition of the issuer, the probability that the scheduled cash payments will continue to be made and the Company's intent and ability to hold the investment until recovery of the amortized cost basis. The Company has the ability, if necessary, to liquidate any of its cash equivalents and marketable securities to meet its liquidity needs.

**NOTE *5*. Revenue**

*Royalty Revenue Related to Sale of Future Royalties*

The Company generates royalty revenue from the sale of Inavir in Japan, pursuant to a collaboration and license agreement that Aviragen entered into with Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited ("Daiichi Sankyo") in *2009.* In *September 2010,* laninamivir octanoate was approved for sale by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare for the treatment of influenza in adults and children, which Daiichi Sankyo markets as Inavir. Under the agreement, the Company currently receives a 4% royalty on net sales of Inavir in Japan. Based on information provided by Daiichi Sankyo, the Company's royalty revenue will cease with the expiration of the last patent related to Inavir in *August 2036.* The Company's royalty revenue is seasonal, in line with the flu season, so the majority of the Company's royalty revenue and non-cash royalty revenue related to the sale of future royalties are earned in the *first* and *fourth* fiscal quarters. The royalty revenue related to Inavir recognized for the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* and *2025* was zero. The non-cash royalty revenue related to the sale of future royalties was $42,000 and $1.6 million for the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* and *2025*, respectively. Both royalty revenue and the non-cash royalty revenue related to the sale of future royalties are subject to a 5% withholding tax in Japan, for which $2,000 and $79,000 was included in income tax expense for the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* and *2025*, respectively, further detailed in [Note *6*](#Note6).

The Company recognized revenue from government contracts with HHS BARDA of $36.4 million and $19.3 million for the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* and *2025*, respectively, consisting of revenue from the *2024* ASPR-BARDA Contract (as defined below) and the *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract (as defined below) described in more detail below. Unbilled receivable from government contracts consists of government revenue from HHS BARDA, which was earned and *not* yet billed. As of *March 31, 2026* and *December 31, 2025*, the amount of unbilled receivable was $50.4 million and $36.8 million, respectively, and deferred revenue was $23,000 and $68,000, respectively.

<u>*2024* ATI-RRPV Contract</u>

In *June 2024,* the Company entered into an agreement (as modified or amended from time to time the *"2024* ATI-RRPV Contract") with Advanced Technology International ("ATI"), the Rapid Response Partnership Vehicle's Consortium Management Firm funded by HHS BARDA, which was modified in the *second* half of *2024* to increase funding and provide for the manufacturing of a vaccine candidate targeting the *KP.2* strain and acquire an approved mRNA vaccine targeting the *KP.2* strain. Pursuant to the *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract, the Company was authorized to receive overall funding of up to $460.7 million to conduct a Phase *2b* comparative study evaluating the Company's oral pill COVID-*19* vaccine candidate against an mRNA vaccine comparator approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Funding has been released pursuant to authorized milestones delineated in a series of contract modifications. Pursuant to Modification *No. 6* to the *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract, dated *March 10, 2026 (*the most recent contract modification), the total amount of funding available for payment under the *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract is approximately $316.0 million, including $67.9 million of firm fixed price amounts and the remaining amount for reimbursement of costs incurred in trial preparation and execution activities. The Company anticipates a further modification to the *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract that will reflect the reduced scope of work and corresponding reduction in funding that resulted from previously issued stop work orders that halted enrollment and therefore reduced the size of the study.

The Company accounts for the *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract under Accounting Standards Codification *958*-*605* ("ASC *958*-*605"*) and recognizes revenue as the firm fixed-price milestone is earned and allowable cost-plus-fixed-fees are incurred. Reimbursable costs under the *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract primarily include direct labor, subcontract costs, materials, travel, and approved overhead and indirect costs. The *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract contains terms and conditions that are customary for contracts with HHS BARDA of this nature, including the U.S. government having the right to terminate the contract for convenience or to terminate for default if the Company fails to meet its obligations as set forth in the statement of work. Revenue from government contracts recognized on the *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract was $36.4 million, comprised entirely of the cost-plus-fixed-fee, for the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026*, and $19.3 million, comprising cost-plus-fixed-fee of $18.5 million and firm fixed-price milestone of $0.8 million for the *three* months ended *March 31, 2025,* based on costs incurred and the achievement of firm fixed-price milestones under the *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract. Deferred government revenue represents amounts that have been received from HHS BARDA and the earnings process is *not* yet complete. Deferred government revenue in current liabilities was $23,000 and $68,000 as of *March 31, 2026* and *December 31, 2025*, respectively. The remaining deferred government revenue as of *March 31, 2026*, will be recognized as revenue once the earnings process is complete.

**Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

The Company believes that if the *2024* ATI-RRPV Contract were to be terminated prior to completion of the Phase *2b* comparative study, the costs incurred through the effective date of such termination and any settlement costs resulting from such termination would be allowable costs. Cost reimbursement payments to the Company are provisional payments subject to adjustment upon annual audit by the government. The Company believes that revenue for periods *not* yet audited will be recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final audit and settlement. When the final determination of the allowable costs for any year has been made, revenue and billings *may* be adjusted accordingly in the period that the adjustment becomes known.

<u>*2024* ASPR-BARDA Contract</u>

In *January 2024,* the Company was awarded a contract (as modified or amended, the *"2024* ASPR-BARDA Contract") by HHS BARDA with a base and all options value of $9.3 million. Under the *2024* ASPR-BARDA Contract, the Company received an award to support clinical trial planning activities for a Phase *2b* clinical trial that would compare the Company's XBB vaccine candidate to an mRNA comparator to evaluate efficacy for symptomatic and asymptomatic disease, systemic and mucosal immune induction, and adverse events. The *2024* ASPR-BARDA Contract originally had a period of performance term that was set to expire in *July 2024,* but the Company entered into an amendment in *July 2024* that extended the period of performance expiration date into *October 2024.* The Company accounts for the *2024* ASPR-BARDA Contract under ASC *958*-*605* and recognizes revenue as donor-imposed conditions are met. Revenue from government contracts recognized on the *2024* ASPR-BARDA Contract was zero for each of the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* and *2025*. Deferred government revenue represents amounts that have been received from HHS BARDA and the earnings process is *not* yet complete. Deferred government revenue in current liabilities was zero as of *March 31, 2026* and *December 31, 2025*.

*Revenue from License and Collaboration* 

On *November 4, 2025,* the Company entered into the *2025* License and Collaboration Agreement with Dynavax relating to the Company's investigational oral vaccine candidate for COVID-*19* based on its proprietary oral delivery platform (the "Vaccine Candidate"). Pursuant to the *2025* License and Collaboration Agreement, the Company granted Dynavax an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Company's oral pill Vaccine Candidate for SARS-CoV-*2,* SARS coronavirus, or MERS coronavirus, including COVID-*19* and all variants thereof. Under the terms of the *2025* License and Collaboration Agreement, Dynavax paid the Company an upfront license fee of $25.0 million and purchased $5.0 million of the Company's common stock pursuant to the *2025* Securities Purchase Agreement. The *2025* License and Collaboration Agreement provides that the Company continue to develop the Vaccine Candidate by conducting and completing its ongoing Phase *2b* clinical trial and delivering the end-of-Phase *2* data package, performing its obligations under the *2024* ATI-RRPV agreement and conducting additional development and manufacturing activities related to the Vaccine Candidate.

On *February 10, 2026,* Sanofi completed its acquisition of Dynavax. As a result of the consummation of the merger, Dynavax became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sanofi.

Following the completion of the Company's ongoing Phase *2b* clinical trial and a planned end-of-Phase *2* meeting with the FDA, per the *2025* License and Collaboration Agreement, Dynavax has the right to elect, in its sole discretion, to assume responsibility for the continued development of the Vaccine Candidate. If Dynavax elects to assume responsibility for such continued development of the Vaccine Candidate, then Dynavax has agreed to pay the Company an additional fee of $50.0 million. If Dynavax does *not* elect to assume responsibility for such continued development of the Vaccine Candidate, then the *2025* License and Collaboration Agreement will terminate pursuant to its terms.

The Company determined that the *2025* License and Collaboration Agreement represented a contract with a customer and should be accounted for in accordance with ASC *606.* The Company identified *two* performance obligations, (i) the exclusive license, together with the related transfer and manufacturing technology transfer (the "License Performance Obligation"), and (ii) the development program activities through delivery of the *EOP2* Data Package, including participation in joint governance committees (the "Development Performance Obligation").

The Company identified $25.8 million of total transaction price at inception, consisting of a non-refundable upfront payment of $25.0 million and the premium of approximately $0.8 million associated with Dynavax's concurrent $5.0 million equity investment in the Company, which represented consideration in excess of the fair value of the common stock issued. The fixed consideration of $25.8 million was allocated to the *two* performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Revenue allocated to the License Performance Obligation was recognized at a point in time in the *fourth* quarter of *2025* upon completion of the technology transfer, when Dynavax obtained the right to use and benefit from the licensed intellectual property. Revenue allocated to the Development Performance Obligation is recognized over time using an input method based on costs incurred relative to total estimated costs to complete the development program.

The *2025* License and Collaboration Agreement also includes potential additional consideration in the form of evaluation fees, a $50.0 million election payment, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, and royalties on future product sales. Such amounts represent variable consideration and are included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will *not* occur. Sales-based milestones and royalties will be recognized as revenue when the underlying sales occur in accordance with the sales- or usage-based royalty exception in ASC *606.*

For the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* and *2025*, the Company recognized collaboration revenue of $2.8 million and zero, respectively, from the *2025* License and Collaboration Agreement. As of *March 31, 2026*, the amount of deferred collaboration revenue was $12.2 million, of which $11.7 million was classified as current and $0.4 million as non-current. The remaining deferred collaboration revenue will be recognized as revenue once the earnings process is complete.

**NOTE *6*. Liabilities Related to Sale of Future Royalties**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In *April 2016,* Aviragen entered into a Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement (the "RIAA") with HealthCare Royalty Partners III, L.P. ("HCRP"). Under the RIAA, HCRP made a $20.0 million cash payment to Aviragen in consideration for acquiring certain royalty rights ("Royalty Rights") related to the approved product Inavir in the Japanese market. The Royalty Rights were obtained pursuant to the collaboration and license agreements (the "License Agreement") and a commercialization agreement that the Company entered into with Daiichi Sankyo. Per the terms of the RIAA, during the *first* royalty interest period of *April 1, 2016* through *March 31, 2025,* HCRP is entitled to the *first* $3.0 million and any cumulative remaining shortfall amount plus 15% of the next $1.0 million in royalties earned in each year commencing on *April 1,* with any excess revenue being retained by the Company. Further, during the *second* royalty interest period beginning *April 1, 2025* and ending on *December 24, 2029,* HCRP is entitled to the *first* $2.7 million and any cumulative remaining shortfall amount, plus 15% of the next $1.0 million in royalties, with any excess revenue being retained by the Company. A shortfall occurs when, during an annual period ending on *March 31,* for the *first* royalty interest period of *April 1, 2016* through *March 31, 2025,* the Company's royalty payments fall below $3.0 million; and $2.7 million for the *second* royalty interest period of *April 1, 2025* and ending on *December 24, 2029,* excluding the period of *April 1, 2028* through *December 24, 2029.* In the event there shall remain any cumulative remaining shortfall amount as of *December 24, 2029,* any royalties received from Daiichi Sankyo subsequently by the Company would be payable to HCRP until the cumulative remaining shortfall amount has been paid.

For avoidance of doubt, the RIAA states, in the event there is a remaining cumulative remaining shortfall amount as of *December 24, 2029,* the Company shall *not* be obligated to pay HCRP any royalty payment beyond what the Company is paid from Daiichi Sankyo. The cumulative remaining shortfall amount is the aggregate amount of the remaining shortfall for each annual period, which was $6.7 million and $4.4 million as of *March 31, 2026* and *December 31, 2025*, respectively.

**VAXART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

Under the relevant accounting guidance, due to a limit on the amount of royalties that HCRP can earn under the RIAA, this transaction was accounted for as a liability that is being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the arrangement. The Company has *no* obligation to pay any amounts to HCRP other than to pass through to HCRP its share of royalties as they are received from Daiichi Sankyo. To record the amortization of the liability, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future royalty payments to be received under the License Agreement and the payments that will be passed through to HCRP over the life of this agreement. Consequently, the Company imputes interest on the unamortized portion of the liability and records non-cash interest expense using an estimated effective interest rate. The royalties earned in each period that will be passed through to HCRP are recorded as non-cash royalty revenue related to sale of future royalties, with any excess *not* subject to pass-through being recorded as royalty revenue. When the pass-through royalties are paid to HCRP in the following quarter, the imputed liability related to sale of future royalties is commensurately reduced. The Company periodically assesses the expected royalty payments, and to the extent such payments are greater or less than the initial estimate, the Company adjusts the amortization of the liability and interest rate. As a result of this accounting, even though the Company does *not* retain HCRP's share of the royalties, it will continue to record non-cash revenue related to those royalties until the amount of the associated liability, including the related interest, is fully amortized.

The following table shows the activity within the liability account during the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* (in thousands):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Total liability related to sale of future royalties, start of period | $4060 |
| Non-cash royalty revenue paid to HCRP | (331) |
| Non-cash interest expense recognized | 505 |
| Total liability related to sale of future royalties, end of period | 4234 |
| Current portion | (1862) |
| Long-term portion | $2372 |

**NOTE *7*. Leases**

The Company has obtained the right of use for office and manufacturing facilities under five operating lease agreements with initial terms exceeding *one* year. The lease term at the commencement date is determined by considering whether renewal options and termination options are reasonably assured of exercise.

As of *March 31, 2026*, the weighted average discount rate for operating leases with initial terms of more than *one* year was 10.1% and the weighted average remaining term of these leases was 2.9 years. Discount rates were determined using the Company's marginal rate of borrowing at the time each lease was executed or extended.

The following table summarizes the Company's undiscounted cash payment obligations for its operating lease liabilities with initial terms of more than *12* months as of *March 31, 2026* (in thousands):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Year Ending December 31, |  |
| 2026 (nine months remaining) | $2425 |
| 2027 | 2947 |
| 2028 | 3050 |
| 2029 | 760 |
| Undiscounted total | 9182 |
| Less: imputed interest | (1214) |
| Present value of future minimum payments | 7968 |
| Current portion of operating lease liability | (2530) |
| Operating lease liability, net of current portion | $5438 |

The Company is also required to pay for operating expenses related to the leased space, including common area maintenance, taxes and insurance. The operating expenses are incurred separately and were *not* included in the present value of lease payments. Operating lease expenses for the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* and *2025* are summarized as follows (in thousands):

**NOTE *8*. Commitments and Contingencies**

***(a)*** ***Purchase Commitments***

As of *March 31, 2026*, the Company had approximately $19.3 million of non-cancelable purchase commitments, principally for clinical services which are expected to be paid within the next year. Approximately $18.2 million of non-cancelable purchase commitments are attributable to a *third*-party vendor that provides clinical services, that is reimbursable at approximately $19.6 million under a cost-plus-fixed-fees arrangement in the ATI-RRPV Contract.

***(b)*** ***Indemnifications***

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that *may* include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company *may* indemnify, hold harmless and defend indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from *third*-party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is *not* determinable. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with certain officers and directors which provide, among other things, that the Company will indemnify and advance expenses incurred in connection with certain actions, suits or proceedings to such officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she *may* be required to pay in actions or proceedings which he or she is or *may* be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, officer or other agent of the Company, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and the Company's Bylaws. The Company currently has directors' and officers' insurance.

***(c)*** ***Litigation***

From time to time the Company *may* be involved in legal proceedings arising in connection with its business. Based on information currently available, the Company believes that the amount, or range, of reasonably possible losses in connection with any pending actions against it in excess of established reserves, in the aggregate, is *not* material to its consolidated financial condition or cash flows. However, any current or future dispute resolution or legal proceeding, regardless of the merits of any such proceeding, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources that are needed to run the Company successfully, and could have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

In *August* and *September 2020, two* substantially similar securities class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The *first* action, titled *<u>Himmelberg v. Vaxart, Inc. et al.</u>* was filed on *August 24, 2020.* The *second* action, titled *<u>Hovhannisyan v. Vaxart, Inc. et al.</u>* was filed on *September 1, 2020 (*together, the "Putative Class Action"). By Order dated *September 17, 2020,* the *two* actions were deemed related. On *December 9, 2020,* the court appointed lead plaintiffs and lead plaintiffs' counsel.

On *January 29, 2021,* lead plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint. On *May 14, 2021,* the court granted lead plaintiffs' request to amend the consolidated amended complaint and denied defendants' motions to dismiss as moot. On *June 10, 2021,* lead plaintiffs filed a *first* amended consolidated complaint, and on *August 9, 2021,* lead plaintiffs filed a corrected *first* amended consolidated complaint. The *first* amended consolidated complaint, as corrected, named certain of Vaxart's current and former executive officers and directors, as well as Armistice Capital, LLC ("Armistice"), as defendants. It claimed *three* violations of federal civil securities laws; violation of Section *10*(b) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule *10b*-*5,* as against the Company and all individual defendants; violation of Section *20*(a) of the Exchange Act, as against Armistice and all individual defendants; and violation of Section *20A* of the Exchange Act against Armistice. The *first* amended consolidated complaint, as corrected, alleged that the defendants violated securities laws by misstating and/or omitting information regarding the Company's development of a norovirus vaccine, the vaccine manufacturing capabilities of a business counterparty, and the Company's involvement with Operation Warp Speed ("OWS"); and by engaging in a scheme to inflate Vaxart's stock price. The *first* amended consolidated complaint sought certification as a class action for similarly situated shareholders and sought, among other things, an unspecified amount of damages and attorneys' fees and costs. On *July 8, 2021,* all defendants moved to dismiss the *first* amended consolidated complaint. By Order dated *December 22, 2021,* the court granted the motion to dismiss by Armistice with leave to amend and otherwise denied the motions to dismiss. On *July 27, 2022,* lead plaintiffs filed a notice announcing that they had reached a partial settlement (the "Partial Settlement") to resolve all claims against the Company and its current or former officers and/or directors in their capacity as officers and/or directors of the Company (the "Settling Defendants"). Pursuant to the Partial Settlement, the Company agreed to a settlement amount of $12.0 million with *$2.0* million to be paid by the Company and the remainder to be paid by the Company's insurers. On *November 2, 2022,* the Company paid the $2.0 million settlement amount with respect to the Putative Class Action pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement reached in that case. On *November 14, 2022,* lead plaintiffs filed a *second* amended consolidated class action complaint that purported to include new allegations to support claims against Armistice. By Orders dated *January 25, 2023,* the court approved the Partial Settlement and entered judgment dismissing with prejudice all claims asserted in the Putative Class Action against the Settling Defendants. A jury trial on the claims asserted against Armistice commenced on *April 14, 2026* and concluded on *April 28, 2026* with a verdict entered in favor of Armistice and concluding that Armistice had *not* engaged in either a scheme to inflate the price of Vaxart's stock or insider trading in connection with its sales of Vaxart's stock in *June 2020;* post-verdict proceedings before the District Court are ongoing and the time for lead plaintiffs to lodge an appeal has *not* yet expired.

On *October 23, 2020,* a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled *<u>Roth v. Armistice Capital LLC, et al.</u>* The complaint names Armistice and certain Armistice-related parties as defendants, asserting a violation of Exchange Act Section *16*(b) and seeking the disgorgement of short-swing profits. The complaint purports to bring the lawsuit on behalf of and for the benefit of the Company and names the Company as a "nominal defendant" for whose benefit damages are sought. Following discovery, a motion for summary judgment was filed by Armistice and the Armistice-related party defendants to dismiss the complaint. On *March 27, 2024,* the court granted the motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims in the complaint in their entirety. On *April 11, 2024,* the Plaintiff timely filed a notice of appeal of the court's decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, commencing appellate proceedings. In *June 2024,* Plaintiff filed a motion to the court of appeals to stay the appeal pending efforts to re-instate the complaint in the district court, which was granted by the court of appeals. In *July 2024,* Plaintiff filed a motion with the district court seeking to set aside the judgment and to re-instate the complaint. On *August 15, 2024,* the district court denied Plaintiff's motion to set aside the judgment. On *August 19, 2024,* the court of appeals lifted the stay and, on *August 28, 2025,* the court of appeals entered a judgment affirming the judgment of the district court. The time for Plaintiffs to file any appeal of that decision has since lapsed.

**VAXART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)**

On *January 8, 2021,* a purported shareholder, Phillip Chan, commenced a *pro se* lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California titled *<u>Chan v. Vaxart, Inc. et al.</u>* (the "Opt-Out Action"), opting out of the consolidated Himmelberg v. Vaxart, Inc. et al. and Hovhannisyan v. Vaxart, Inc. et al. class actions, (together, the "Putative Class Action"). Because this complaint is nearly identical to an earlier version of a complaint filed in the Putative Class Action, the Opt-Out Action has been stayed while the Putative Class Action is pending.

 **NOTE *9.* Stockholders' Equity**

***(a)*** ***Preferred Stock***

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The Company's board of directors *may,* without further action by the stockholders, fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of up to an aggregate of *5,000,000* shares of preferred stock in *one* or more series and authorize their issuance. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which *may* be greater than the rights of the Company's common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control or other corporate action. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding, and the Company has *no* present plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

***(b)*** ***Common Stock***

As of *March 31, 2026*, the Company was authorized to issue 350,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of common stock possess all voting power for the election of the Company's directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders of common stock are entitled to *one* vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as *may* be declared from time to time by the Company's board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. In *no* event will any stock dividends or stock splits or combinations of stock be declared or made on common stock unless the shares of common stock at the time outstanding are treated equally and identically. As of *March 31, 2026*, no dividends had been declared by the board of directors.

In *March 2025,* the Company entered into the *March 2025* ATM with Citizens and B. Riley, pursuant to which the Company *may* offer and sell, from time to time through the Managers, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million. The shares will be sold pursuant to the *2026* Shelf Registration Statement. The Company filed a prospectus supplement, dated *March 21, 2025,* with the SEC in connection with the offer and sale of the shares under the *March 2025* ATM. The Company will pay the Managers a placement fee of up to 3% of the gross sale price from each sale of the shares under the *March 2025* ATM. *No* shares have been issued or sold under the *March 2025* ATM since the Company was suspended from trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market in *July 2025.*

In the event of the Company's voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, the holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all the Company's assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied. There are *no* sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.

**Note *13.* Subsequent Events**

*Equity Line of Credit*

In *April 2026,* the Company entered into the *April 2026* ELOC and a registration rights agreement with LPC, pursuant to which LPC committed to purchase up to the Commitment Amount, $25.0 million, of the Company's common stock ("Purchase Shares"), subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Company has the right, but *not* the obligation, to sell shares of common stock to LPC, and LPC is obligated to make purchases as directed by the Company, subject to the conditions set forth in the agreement. Sales *may* occur from time to time, at the Company's sole discretion, over a *24*-month period commencing upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of shares of common stock by LPC. The purchase price per share of common stock for regular purchases will be equal to 97% of the lower of (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date or (ii) the arithmetic average of the *three* lowest closing sale prices during the *ten* consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date. The Company *may* also direct accelerated purchases at prices based on market prices on the applicable purchase date. The *April 2026* ELOC prohibits sales if such shares of common stock, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by LPC, would result in LPC owning more than 4.99% of the Company's then outstanding common stock. The Company has the right to terminate the agreement at any time after the Company has satisfied all the conditions for sales to be made pursuant to the *April 2026* ELOC, with *one* business day notice, at *no* cost or penalty. The Company issued 447,067 shares of common stock to LPC as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the *April 2026* ELOC.

The shares will be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement. The Company intends to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale by LPC of the Purchase Shares *may* be issued to LPC under the *April 2026* ELOC, as well as the 447,067 shares of common stock issued to LPC as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of common stock under the *April 2026* ELOC.

*Amendment to Lease Agreement*

In *April 2026,* the Company entered into an amendment (the "Utah Avenue Lease Amendment") to its lease agreement (the "Utah Avenue Lease") with a landlord (the "Utah Avenue Landlord") relating to certain properties currently leased to the Company that are located on Utah Avenue in South San Francisco, California. Pursuant to the Utah Avenue Lease Amendment, the Company agreed to lease from the Utah Avenue Landlord *two* additional suites in an additional building on Utah Avenue with a total of approximately 3,531 rentable square feet of space (the "Additional Leased Space"), effective as of *May 14, 2026 (*the "Expansion Commencement Date"). The term of the lease of the Additional Leased Space is *36* months from the Expansion Commencement Date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Utah Avenue Lease Amendment and the Utah Avenue Lease.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

**Company Overview and Background**

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company primarily focused on the development of oral recombinant vaccines based on our Vector-Adjuvant-Antigen Standardized Technology ("VAAST") proprietary oral vaccine platform. We are developing prophylactic vaccine candidates that target a range of infectious diseases, including norovirus (a widespread cause of acute gastroenteritis), coronavirus including SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19")), and influenza. In addition, we have generated preclinical data for our first therapeutic vaccine candidate targeting cervical cancer and dysplasia caused by human papillomavirus ("HPV"). Our oral vaccines are designed to generate broad and durable immune responses that may protect against a wide range of infectious diseases and may be useful for the treatment of chronic viral infections and cancer. Our investigational vaccines are administered using a room temperature-stable tablet, rather than by injection.

Vaxart Biosciences, Inc. was originally incorporated in California under the name West Coast Biologicals, Inc. in March 2004 and changed its name to Vaxart, Inc. ("Private Vaxart") in July 2007, when it reincorporated in the state of Delaware. On February 13, 2018, Private Vaxart completed a reverse merger (the "Merger") with Aviragen Therapeutics, Inc. ("Aviragen"), pursuant to which Private Vaxart survived as a wholly owned subsidiary of Aviragen. Under the terms of the Merger, Aviragen changed its name to Vaxart, Inc. and Private Vaxart changed its name to Vaxart Biosciences, Inc.

**Our Product Pipeline**

We are developing the following tablet vaccine candidates, which are all based on our proprietary platform:

● ***Norovirus Vaccine*.*** Norovirus is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis symptoms, such as vomiting and diarrhea, among people of all ages in the United States. Each year, on average in the United States, norovirus causes 19 to 21 million cases of acute gastroenteritis and contributes to 109,000 hospitalizations and 900 deaths, mostly among young children and older adults. Virtually all norovirus disease is caused by norovirus GI and GII genotypes, and we are developing a bivalent vaccine candidate designed to protect against both.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 23

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

***Adult and Elderly.*** In September 2023, we announced that our Phase 2 GI.1 norovirus challenge study evaluating the safety, immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy of the GI.1 component of our first-generation bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate met five of six primary endpoints based on preliminary topline data. The study achieved its primary endpoints of a statistically significant 30% relative reduction in the rate of norovirus infection between the vaccinated and placebo arms, a strong induction of norovirus-specific immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, and other immune response endpoints.

Vaccination also led to a 21% relative reduction in norovirus acute gastroenteritis in the vaccine arm compared to placebo, but this finding did not reach statistical significance. In other prespecified analyses, the study showed an 85% relative decrease in viral shedding in the vaccine arm compared with placebo and no statistically significant difference in disease severity in the vaccinated cohort compared with placebo. The vaccine candidate was safe and well tolerated with no vaccine-related serious adverse events.

Based on our norovirus clinical data findings to date, our norovirus oral vaccination induces mucosal and systemic immune responses. Norovirus oral vaccination reduced infection and viral shedding in a rigorous human challenge model. Based on our machine learning models and evaluation of more than 13 different immune parameters, norovirus vaccination protection most tightly associates with making a functional antibody response to norovirus in the serum ("NBAA") and norovirus specific fecal IgA antibodies. Because of the strong induction of mucosal IgA due to the oral vaccination and potential read through into the serum, we believe that this likely means that a functional fecal IgA response is probably critical for protection against norovirus infection.

In the second half of 2024, we received constructive feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") on our data for potential correlates of protection and next steps for our norovirus program. While we believe we have identified a functional antibody response that may be associated with protection for norovirus, the FDA requested new clinical data before proceeding with further review of our potential correlate.

In 2024, we also created new, second-generation norovirus GI.1 and GII.4 constructs. Based on preclinical data, the second-generation norovirus GI.1 and GII.4 constructs are more potent than the first-generation norovirus constructs we previously evaluated in clinical trials.

In June 2025, we reported positive topline results from a Phase 1 clinical trial (Study VXA-109) evaluating our second-generation bivalent norovirus vaccine constructs head-to-head against our first-generation bivalent norovirus vaccine constructs. The open-label, Phase 1 trial was conducted in 60 healthy volunteers who were randomized to receive the first-generation vaccine constructs, an equivalent dose of the second-generation GI.1 and GII.4 vaccine constructs, or a lower dose of the second-generation vaccine 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 study of the first-generation vaccine constructs, these functional NBAA titers were identified as correlates of 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 vaccine candidates was sufficiently large (141% for the GI.1 vaccine candidate and 94% for the GII.4 vaccine candidate) to demonstrate statistical significance at the equivalent dose. Further support for the second-generation bivalent norovirus vaccine was provided by the fecal IgA data from the VXA-109 Study. The data showed a 25-fold increase in the GII.4 fecal IgA response and a 10-fold increase in the GI.1 fecal IgA response over baseline with the high dose of the second-generation vaccine candidates after a single tablet administration for each strain. The data also showed an 8-fold increase in the GII.4 fecal IgA response and a 7-fold increase in the GI.1 fecal IgA response over baseline with the low dose of the second-generation vaccine candidates after a single tablet administration for each strain. While the Phase 1 study was not powered to determine superiority by statistical methods, the fecal IgA increases observed with the second-generation constructs compared favorably to the increases observed with the first-generation constructs at the same high dose level and in the same study (13-fold GII.4 and 6-fold GI.1 over baseline).

Following the successful outcome of the VXA-109 trial, the next step, pending a partnership or other funding, would be to advance the program to the next stage of clinical development in 2026.

***Breastfeeding Mothers.*** In December 2024, we completed a Phase 1 norovirus bivalent vaccine candidate study in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The study enrolled 76 healthy, lactating post-partum, women volunteers, to determine the impact of our norovirus vaccine on breast milk norovirus-specific IgA and its potential presence, post-breastfeeding, within infant fecal samples. The study was a randomized, double-blinded, and placebo controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the placebo cohorts and two vaccine cohorts: medium dose (1×10<sup>11</sup> IU) and high dose (2×10<sup>11</sup> IU). Passive transfer of antibodies from mother to infant that are induced in milk may protect breastfeeding infants from infectious pathogens. We initiated this study in the fourth quarter of 2023 and announced positive top line results in April 2024. Top line results showed antibodies rose in lactating mothers who received the high dose of our bivalent vaccine candidate. Specifically, serum antibodies to norovirus rose on average 5.6 fold in response to the GI.1 virus strain and 4.4 fold in response to the GII.4 virus strain and breast milk antibodies to norovirus rose on average 4.0 fold in response to the GI.1 virus strain and 6.0 fold in response to the GII.4 virus strain. The vaccine was well tolerated with no vaccine-related serious adverse events and no dose-limiting pharmacotoxicity. Infant stool samples contained antibodies to norovirus that correlated with levels in the paired mother's breast milk, suggesting efficient passive transfer occurred. As a grant recipient from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Vaxart has agreed to a global access commitment for use of its bivalent norovirus vaccine candidate, if proven effective and approved, in breastfeeding mothers from low- and middle-income countries.

● ***Coronavirus Vaccine.*** COVID-19, a severe respiratory tract infection caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, is a major cause of hospitalization and death in the U.S. and worldwide. According to the CDC, an outbreak of COVID-19 began in Wuhan, China, in late 2019 and rapidly spread worldwide. While most COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, COVID-19 continues to spread and remains a public health threat, not least due to the continuing emergence of new variants.

In January 2024, we were awarded a contract by the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("HHS BARDA"), a division of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response ("ASPR") within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"), for $9.3 million to fund preparation for a Phase 2b clinical study involving 10,000 participants. Vaxart executed on the deliverables and received all $9.3 million of cash payments related to this contract in 2024.

In June 2024, we entered into an agreement (as modified or amended from time to time, the "2024 ATI-RRPV Contract") with Advanced Technology International ("ATI"), the Rapid Response Partnership Vehicle's Consortium Management Firm funded by HHS BARDA for a Phase 2b clinical study. This Phase 2b clinical study is designed as a double-blind, multi-center, randomized, comparator-controlled study to determine the relative efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of Vaxart's oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate against an approved mRNA COVID-19 injectable vaccine in adults previously immunized against COVID-19 infection. The 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract initially provided for funding of up to $460.7 million to conduct this Phase 2b study, manufacture a COVID-19 vaccine candidate, and acquire an approved mRNA vaccine targeting a homologous strain.

In the second half of 2024, we initiated and completed enrollment of the 400-participant sentinel cohort of our Phase 2b study comparing our XBB COVID-19 vaccine candidate to an approved mRNA XBB comparator, and in January 2025 the independent data safety monitoring board recommended the study proceed without modifications based on 30-day sentinel cohort data, with 12-month follow-up data expected in the first half of 2026. Following a February 2025 ATI stop work order on the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract (lifted in April 2025), we received HHS BARDA approval in May 2025 to initiate dosing in the 10,000-participant main cohort of the Phase 2b study; however, in August 2025 ATI issued a second stop work order halting further screening and enrollment after approximately half of the targeted participants had been enrolled, and on October 8, 2025, ATI issued a Follow-Up Notice confirming BARDA's intent to stop all ongoing enrollment under the contract while permitting continued follow-up and planned analyses of the sentinel and enrolled main study populations, with contract funding currently under review and likely to be reduced commensurate with the reduced enrollment.

In connection with these contract developments, the Company has received funding through a series of contract modifications tied to authorized milestones. Pursuant to Modification No. 6 to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, dated March 10, 2026 (the most recent contract modification), the total amount of funding available for payment under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract is approximately $316.0 million, including $67.9 million of firm fixed price amounts and the remaining amount for reimbursement of costs incurred in trial preparation and execution activities. The Company anticipates a further modification to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract reflecting the reduced scope of work and corresponding reduction in funding resulting from the previously issued stop work orders that halted enrollment and reduced the size of the study. Notwithstanding these adjustments, the parties have reached agreement on the continuing scope of work.

Based on our understanding of the currently agreed scope, we anticipate that the Phase 2b study, which enrolled healthy adults 18 years and older in the U.S. with 400 participants from the sentinel cohort and approximately 5,000 participants enrolled from the main cohort as of our receipt of the August stop work order, will continue to collect participant data over a 12 month period post-vaccination and will continue to be funded under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. Out of the approximately 5,400 total participants, we expect approximately 2,700 to have received our COVID-19 vaccine candidate and approximately 2,700 to have received an approved strain-matched mRNA comparator. The study has been conducted to enroll participants in line with U.S. demographics, as well as to include at least 25% over the age of 65.

The Phase 2b study will measure efficacy for symptomatic and asymptomatic disease, systemic and mucosal immune induction, and the incidence of adverse events. The primary endpoint is relative efficacy of Vaxart's COVID-19 vaccine candidate compared to an approved mRNA comparator for the prevention of symptomatic disease. Primary efficacy analysis will be performed when all participants have either discontinued or completed a study visit 12 months post-vaccination.

● ***Influenza Vaccine.*** Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. An estimated one billion cases of seasonal influenza occur annually worldwide, of which three to five million cases are considered severe, causing 290,000 to 650,000 deaths per year. In the United States, between 9,000,000 to 41,000,000 people catch influenza annually, between 140,000 and 710,000 people are hospitalized with complications of influenza, and between 12,000 and 52,000 people die from influenza and its complications each year.

***Monovalent influenza vaccine.*** In 2018, we completed a Phase 2 challenge study of our H1N1 flu vaccine candidate, which was funded through a $15.7 million contract with HHS BARDA. We announced that, in healthy volunteers immunized and then experimentally infected with H1 influenza, our H1 influenza oral tablet vaccine candidate reduced clinical disease by 39% relative to placebo. Fluzone, the market-leading injectable quadrivalent influenza vaccine, reduced clinical disease by 27%. Our tablet vaccine candidate also showed a favorable safety profile, indistinguishable from placebo.

We also presented data from the study demonstrating that our vaccine candidate elicited a significant expansion of mucosal homing receptor plasmablasts to approximately 60% of all activated B cells. We believe these mucosal plasmablasts are a key indicator of a protective mucosal immune response and a unique feature of our vaccine candidates.

***Avian influenza vaccine.*** We continue to advance our avian influenza program. We previously published data demonstrating protection in a preclinical model against avian influenza after oral immunization (Clin Vaccine Immunol 2013). We recently created a new avian influenza vaccine candidate to cover the latest clade 2.3.4.4b. The new avian influenza vaccine was 100% protective against death in a robust ferret clade 2.3.4.4b challenge model compared to 0% survival in placebo treated animals. Additional details will be presented in upcoming scientific conferences and published in a scientific paper.

***Next Steps***

The Company intends to work with governments around the world to create pandemic monovalent influenza vaccines for emergency use or stockpiling, if requested. We are also continuing development of our preclinical tri-valent seasonal influenza vaccine candidate.

● ***HPV Therapeutic Vaccine*.** Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide and in the United States with about 13,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the United States according to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition. Our first therapeutic oral vaccine candidate targets HPV 16 and HPV 18, the two strains responsible for 70% of cervical cancers and precancerous cervical dysplasia.

We are in the early stages of developing a bivalent HPV vaccine against HPV-16 and HPV-18, the strains responsible for approximately 70% of cases of cervical cancer. We plan to target the E6 and E7 gene products of each strain, which are the primary oncogenic proteins responsible for progression through the stages of CIN to invasive cervical cancer. In pre-clinical studies, we have demonstrated immunogenicity for both our HPV-16 and our HPV-18 vaccine candidates. Specifically, mice given our HPV-16 or HPV-18 vaccines induced T cell responses to HPV as measured by IFN gamma ELISPOT. In addition, our HPV-16 vaccine has demonstrated tumor growth suppression as well as increased survival in a robust HPV tumor model in mice.

***Next Steps***

We will need to make a regulatory filing to proceed with clinical trials for an HPV vaccine candidate. One of our clinical plans is to test the vaccine candidate in subjects with cervical dysplasia related to HPV-16 or HPV-18, and to evaluate the ability of the vaccine candidate to clear HPV infection, reduce the cervical dysplasia score, and induce T cells known to be important in the clearance of HPV. The primary endpoint will be safety and the secondary endpoint will be immunogenicity by examining T cell responses.

**Antivirals**

● Through the Merger, we acquired two royalty earning products, Relenza and Inavir. We also acquired three Phase 2 clinical stage antiviral compounds, of which we have discontinued independent clinical development. However, for one of these, Vapendavir, we have entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Altesa Biosciences, Inc. ("Altesa") in July 2021, permitting Altesa to develop and commercialize this capsid-binding broad-spectrum antiviral. In May 2025, Altesa announced positive topline results from its Phase 2 placebo-controlled study examining the effects of Vapendavir in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD") patients challenged with rhinovirus. Altesa subsequently communicated their intention to run a randomized placebo-controlled Phase 2b trial that will enroll 900 COPD patients to examine the safety and efficacy of Vapendavir to treat rhinovirus infections in patients with COPD. In February 2026, Altesa announced a $75 million Series B funding round to support the Phase 2b study.

● Relenza and Inavir are antivirals for the treatment of influenza, marketed by GlaxoSmithKline, plc ("GSK") and Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited ("Daiichi Sankyo"), respectively. We have earned royalties on the net sales of Relenza and Inavir in Japan. The last patent for Relenza expired in July 2019 based on information provided by Daiichi Sankyo, and the last patent for Inavir expires in August 2036. Sales of these antivirals vary significantly by quarter, because influenza virus activity displays strong seasonal cycles, and by year depending on the intensity and duration of the flu season, the impact COVID-19 has had, and may continue to have, on seasonal influenza, and competition from other antivirals such as Tamiflu and Xofluza.

**Financial Operations Overview**

***Revenue***

*Non-Cash Royalty Revenue Related to Sale of Future Royalties*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In April 2016, Aviragen sold certain royalty rights related to Inavir in the Japanese market for $20.0 million to HealthCare Royalty Partners III, L.P. ("HCRP"). Under the terms of our agreement with HCRP, during the first royalty interest period of April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2025, HCRP was entitled to the first $3.0 million and any cumulative remaining shortfall amount plus 15% of the next $1.0 million in royalties earned in each year commencing on April 1, with any excess revenue being retained by us. Further, during the second royalty interest period beginning April 1, 2025 and ending on December 24, 2029, HCRP is entitled to the first $2.7 million and any cumulative remaining shortfall amount plus 15% of the next $1.0 million in royalties, with any excess revenue being retained by us. A shortfall occurs when, during an annual period ending on March 31, for the first royalty interest period of April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2025, royalty payments fall below $3.0 million; and $2.7 million for the second royalty interest period of April 1, 2025 and ending on December 24, 2029, excluding the period of April 1, 2028 through December 24, 2029. In the event there is a remaining cumulative remaining shortfall amount as of December 24, 2029, then, for so long as the Company continues to receive royalties from Daiichi Sankyo Company Limited ("Daiichi Sankyo"), the sum of those royalties will be paid to HCRP until the cumulative remaining shortfall amount has been paid in full.

We are not obligated to pay HCRP any royalty payment beyond what we are paid by Daiichi Sankyo. The cumulative remaining shortfall amount is the aggregate amount of the shortfall for each annual period, which was $6.7 million as of March 31, 2026.

Even though we do not currently retain the related royalties under the transaction, as the amounts are remitted to HCRP, we will continue to record revenue related to these royalties until the amount of the associated liability and related interest is fully amortized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 27

*Revenue from Government Contracts*

In January 2024, we were awarded the 2024 ASPR-BARDA Contract by HHS BARDA, with a base and all options value of $9.3 million. Under the 2024 ASPR-BARDA Contract, we received an award to support clinical trial planning activities for a Phase 2b clinical trial that would compare our XBB vaccine candidate to an mRNA comparator to evaluate efficacy for symptomatic and asymptomatic disease, systemic and mucosal immune induction, and adverse events. No revenue from government contracts was recognized on the 2024 ASPR-BARDA Contract for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, based on the achievement of certain milestones under the 2024 ASPR-BARDA Contract.

In June 2024, we entered into the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. In the second half of 2024, the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract was modified to increase funding and expand the scope to include the manufacture of a vaccine candidate targeting the KP.2 strain and acquire an approved mRNA vaccine targeting the KP.2 strain. Pursuant to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract (as modified or amended from time to time), we were to receive overall funding of up to $460.7 million to conduct a Phase 2b comparative study evaluating our oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate against an mRNA vaccine comparator approved by the FDA. Funding has been release pursuant to authorized milestones delineated in a series of contract modifications. Pursuant to Modification No. 6 to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, dated March 10, 2026 (the most recent contract modification), the total amount of funding available for payment under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract is approximately $316.0 million, including $67.9 million of firm fixed price amounts and the remaining amount for reimbursement of costs incurred in trial preparation and execution activities. The Company anticipates a further modification to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract that will reflect the reduced scope of work and corresponding reduction in funding that resulted from previously issued stop work order that halted enrollment and therefore reduced the size of the study. Revenue from government contracts recognized on the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract was $36.4 million and $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, based on costs incurred and the achievement of firm fixed-price milestones under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. For further information about the August 5, 2025 stop work order relating to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, see the section above titled "—Our Product Pipeline" in the "Coronavirus Vaccine" discussion.

***Research and Development Expenses***

Research and development expenses represent costs incurred on conducting research, such as developing our tablet vaccine platform, and supporting preclinical and clinical development activities of our tablet vaccine candidates. We recognize all research and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of the following:

● employee-related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation;

● expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations ("CROs"), that conduct clinical trials on our behalf;

● expenses incurred under agreements with contract manufacturing organizations ("CMOs"), that manufacture product used in the clinical trials;

● expenses incurred in procuring materials and for analytical and release testing services required to produce vaccine candidates used in clinical trials;

● process development expenses incurred internally and externally to improve the efficiency and yield of the bulk vaccine and tablet manufacturing activities;

● laboratory supplies and vendor expenses related to preclinical research activities;

● consultant expenses for services supporting our clinical, regulatory and manufacturing activities; and

● facilities, depreciation and allocated overhead expenses.

We do not allocate our internal expenses to specific programs. Our employees and other internal resources are not directly tied to any one research program and are typically deployed across multiple projects. Internal research and development expenses are presented as one total.

We have incurred significant external costs for CROs that conduct clinical trials on our behalf. We have captured these external costs for each vaccine program. We do not allocate external costs incurred on preclinical research or process development to specific programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 28

------

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

The following table shows our period-over-period research and development expenses, identifying external costs that were incurred in each of our vaccine programs and, separately, on preclinical research and process development for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** |
| External program costs: |  |  |
| Norovirus program | $48 | $1556 |
| COVID-19 program | 20393 | 15718 |
| Other programs |  | 306 |
| Preclinical research | 81 | 399 |
| Process development |  | 46 |
| Total external costs | 20522 | 18025 |
| Internal costs | 8891 | 12719 |
| Total research and development | $29413 | $30744 |

---

We expect to incur significant research and development expenses in the remainder of 2026 and beyond as we advance our tablet vaccine candidates into and through clinical trials, pursue regulatory approval of our tablet vaccine candidates and prepare for a possible commercial launch, all of which will also require a significant investment in manufacturing and inventory related costs. To the extent that we enter into licensing, partnering or collaboration agreements, a significant portion of such costs may be borne by third parties.

The process of conducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. We may never succeed in achieving marketing approval for our tablet vaccine candidates. The probability of successful commercialization of our tablet vaccine candidates may be affected by numerous factors, including clinical data obtained in future trials, competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. As a result, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when and to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of any of our tablet vaccine candidates.

***General and Administrative Expense***

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs, insurance, allocated expenses and expenses for outside professional services, including legal, audit, accounting, public relations, market research and other consulting services. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation. Allocated expenses consist of rent, depreciation and other facilities-related expenses.

**Results of Operations**

As we continue to explore commercial opportunities, and plan to work with business partners, in both U.S. and international markets, we remain attentive to evolving global economic conditions, including uncertainties related to international trade policies, tariffs, and supply chain dynamics. Although these factors have not had a material impact on our operations to date, future changes in trade regulations, tariff structures, or logistical constraints could influence the cost, availability, or timing of materials, services and other components associated with the development of our tablet vaccines and manufacturing capabilities. We continue to monitor these developments closely to maintain operational efficiency and help mitigate potential future impacts.

*Non-cash Royalty Revenue Related to Sale of Future Royalties*

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, non-cash royalty revenue related to sale of future royalties from Daiichi Sankyo was $42,000 and $1.6 million, respectively. We continue to have non-cash royalty revenue as all royalties received for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were required to be paid to HCRP.

*Revenue from Government Contracts*

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, revenue from government contracts was $36.4 million and $19.3 million, respectively. The revenue from government contracts consists of the 2024 ASPR-BARDA Contract awarded to us in January 2024 and the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract awarded to us in June 2024. No revenue was recognized under the 2024 ASPR-BARDA Contract for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenue from the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract was $36.4 million and $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

*License and Collaboration Revenue*

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, collaboration revenue was $2.8 million, compared to zero for both license and collaboration revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The license and collaboration revenue derives from the 2025 License and Collaboration Agreement signed in November 2025. Revenue recognized in 2026 primarily relates to the portion of the upfront consideration allocated to development activities performed during the period.

**Total Operating Expenses**

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except percentages):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |

| General and administrative | 4641 | 5067 | (8)% |
| Total operating expenses | $34054 | $35811 | (5)% |

---

*Research and Development*

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, research and development expenses decreased by $1.3 million, or 4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The net decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel, preclinical and manufacturing costs, partially offset by an increase in clinical trial expenses related to our COVID-19 vaccine candidate.

*General and Administrative*

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 8%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The net decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel, facilities and recruiting costs, partially offset by an increase in professional and legal fees.

**Non-Operating Income (Expense)**

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our non-operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except percentages):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** | **% Change** |
| Interest income | $551 | $437 | 26% |
| Non-cash interest expense related to sale of future royalties | (505) | (997) | (49)% |
| Other income (expense), net | (11) | (1) | (1000)% |
| Net non-operating income (expense) | $35 | $(561) | 106% |

---

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded interest income of $0.6 million, a 26% increase from the $0.4 million interest income recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily due to the increase in our cash, cash equivalents and investments balance.

Non-cash interest expense related to sale of future royalties representing imputed interest on the unamortized portion of the sale of future royalties liability, was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, with $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to a decrease in non-cash royalty revenue payable to HCRP.

**Provision for Income Taxes**

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except percentages):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** | **% Change** |
| Foreign withholding tax on royalty revenue | $2 | $79 | (97)% |
| Foreign taxes payable on intercompany interest | 27 | 16 | 69% |
| Provision for income taxes | $29 | $95 | (69)% |

---

The provision for income taxes was $29,000 and $95,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The tax charge relates to foreign tax expense attributable to interest on an intercompany loan from a foreign subsidiary, and a 5% withholding tax on royalty revenue earned on sales of Inavir in Japan, which is potentially recoverable as a foreign tax credit but expensed because we record a 100% valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. The amount of foreign withholding tax expense recorded is directly proportional to Inavir royalties, including the portion that we pass through to HCRP.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company with no product sales. Our primary source of financing is from the sale and issuance of common stock as well as funding from HHS BARDA. In the past, we have also obtained funds from the issuance of common stock warrants, secured debt and preferred stock and from collaboration agreements.

In June 2024, we entered into the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. Pursuant to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, we were authorized to receive overall funding of up to $460.7 million to conduct a Phase 2b comparative study evaluating our oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate against an mRNA vaccine comparator approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, manufacture a COVID-19 vaccine candidate targeting the KP.2 strain, and acquire an approved mRNA vaccine targeting the KP.2 strain. As of March 31, 2026, we have received $218.9 million of cash payments under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have received $19.8 million under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. On August 5, 2025, the Company received written notification from ATI in the form of a stop work order directing the Company to stop work on screening and enrollment for the COVID-19 Phase 2b trial under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract as of the notification date. On October 8, 2025, the Company received a follow-up notice from ATI, which indicated that BARDA intends to conclusively exclude work subject to the foregoing stop work order from the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. The Company was, however, authorized to continue efforts associated with the per protocol follow-up of all participants dosed as of the notification date in the study under the terms of the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. When the Company received the August notification, we had enrolled approximately half of the targeted number of participants for the study. On March 10, 2026, we entered into Modification No. 6 to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, which increased the total amount of funding available for payment to approximately $316.0 million. The Company anticipates a further modification to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract that will reflect the reduced scope of work and corresponding reduction in funding that resulted from previously issued stop work orders that halted enrollment and therefore reduced the size of the study.

In March 2025, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement (the "March 2025 ATM") with Citizens JMP Securities, LLC ("Citizens") and B. Riley Securities, Inc. ("B. Riley" and, together with Citizens, the "Managers"), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through the Managers, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50 million. The shares will be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-270671), as previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company filed a prospectus supplement, dated March 21, 2025, with the SEC in connection with the offer and sale of the shares under the March 2025 ATM. The Company will pay the Managers a placement fee of up to 3% of the gross sale price from each sale of the shares under the March 2025 ATM. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no shares were issued and sold under the March 2025 ATM. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $48.4 million of our common stock remained available for issuance and sale pursuant to the March 2025 ATM. However, we are unable to leverage the ATM at this time because our common stock has been delisted from trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Effective July 8, 2025, Nasdaq suspended trading in our common stock and the Company was formally delisted from Nasdaq following a final determination by the Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Department on November 3, 2025. Our common stock has been quoted on the OTCQX under the ticker symbol "VXRT" since the stock was suspended from trading on Nasdaq on July 8, 2025. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." As Nasdaq has officially delisted our securities, our securities are not covered securities since OTCQX-traded securities are not considered covered securities, and we will need to follow each state's blue sky laws for offers and sales of our securities made to residents of that state. This state-level regulation introduces additional compliance requirements for brokers to consider when trading in our securities and will further negatively impact any trading liquidity in our securities.

On November 4, 2025, the Company entered into (i) an Exclusive License and Collaboration Agreement (the "License and Collaboration Agreement") with Dynavax Technologies Corporation ("Dynavax") relating to the Company's investigational oral vaccine candidate for COVID-19 based on its proprietary oral delivery platform and (ii) a Securities Purchase Agreement with Dynavax for the sale of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the License and Collaboration Agreement, the Company granted Dynavax an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Company's oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate for SARS-CoV-2, SARS coronavirus, or MERS coronavirus, including COVID-19 and all variants thereof. Under the terms of the License and Collaboration Agreement, Dynavax paid the Company an upfront license fee of $25.0 million and purchased $5.0 million of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The License and Collaboration Agreement includes a collaboration component designed to facilitate the efficient development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of products within the defined field of use, as described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on November 5, 2025. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold and issued 11,111,111 shares of common stock at a per share purchase price of $0.45 under the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3, including the prospectus dated May 5, 2025 contained therein, and the prospectus supplement dated November 4, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 32

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $61.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our cash, cash equivalents and investments are sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least the period of 12 months from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report. To continue operations, we expect that we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional securities or otherwise; however, adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, particularly in light of current economic uncertainty, high interest rates, rising inflation, tariffs, and the potential for local and/or global economic recession. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, most notably our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services.

In April 2026, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "April 2026 ELOC") with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("LPC"), pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million (the "Commitment Amount"), subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Company intends to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale by LPC of the Purchase Shares that have been and may be issued to LPC under the April 2026 ELOC.

We may fund a significant portion of our ongoing operations through partnering and collaboration agreements which, while reducing our risks and extending our cash runway, will also reduce our share of eventual revenues, if any, from our vaccine candidates. We may be able to fund certain activities with assistance from government programs. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We may also fund our operations through debt financing, which would result in debt service obligations, and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market vaccine candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. Any of these actions could harm our business, results of operations and prospects.

Based on management's current plan, which reflects updated assumptions based on events occurring after March 31, 2026, we expect to have cash runway into the second quarter of 2027. See [<u>Note 13</u>](#Note_13) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 for further details. Accordingly, management concluded that the conditions and events that previously raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern have been alleviated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:

● the timing and costs of our planned preclinical studies for our product candidates;

● the timing and costs of our planned clinical trials of our product candidates;

● our manufacturing capabilities, including the availability of contract manufacturing organizations to supply our product candidates at reasonable cost;

● the amount and timing of royalties received on sales of Inavir;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 33

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

● the number and characteristics of product candidates that we pursue;

● the outcome, timing and costs of seeking regulatory approvals;

● revenue received from commercial sales of our future products, which will be subject to receipt of regulatory approval;

● the terms and timing of any future collaborations, licensing, consulting or other arrangements that we may enter into;

● the amount and timing of any payments that may be required in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of any patents or patent applications or other intellectual property rights;

● the current economic uncertainty, high interest rates, rising inflation, tariffs, and the potential for local and/or global economic recession;

● our ability to maintain an active trading market for our common stock that would provide adequate liquidity to investors; and

● the extent to which we in-license or acquire other products and technologies.

*Net Cash Used in Operating Activities*

We experienced negative cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, in the amounts of $2.1 million and $9.6 million, respectively. The cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2026, was driven by net income of $5.2 million, partially offset by an increase in working capital of $10.0 million (consisting of an increase in receivables from government contracts and accounts payable and partially offset by a decrease in accrued labilities, accounts receivable, and prepaid expenses), and adjustments for net non-cash expenses related to depreciation and amortization, accretion of discount on investments, net, stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense related to sale of future royalties and non-cash revenue related to sale of future royalties totaling $2.7 million. The cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025, was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $15.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in working capital of $3.4 million, and adjustments for net non-cash expenses related to depreciation and amortization, accretion of discount on investments, net, stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense related to sale of future royalties and non-cash revenue related to sale of future royalties totaling $2.6 million.

*Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities*

In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we purchased $0.2 million of investments, net of maturities, and used $0.2 million to purchase property and equipment, net of proceeds. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received $13.4 million from maturities of investments, net of purchases, and used $0.1 million of cash to purchase property and equipment.

*Net Cash Used in Financing Activities*

In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we used $0.3 million to acquire common stock to settle employee tax withholding liabilities. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used $0.2 million to acquire common stock to settle employee tax withholding liabilities.

**Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments**

We have the following contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of March 31, 2026 (in thousands):

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Contractual Obligation** | Total | < 1 Year | 1 - 3 Years | 3 - 5 Years | > 5 Years |
| Long Term Debt, HCRP | $16323 | $1861 | $5520 | $5520 | $3422 |
| Operating Leases | 9182 | 3144 | 6038 |  |  |
| Purchase Obligations | 19388 | 19388 |  |  |  |
| Total | $44893 | $24393 | $11558 | $5520 | $3422 |

---

*Long Term Debt, HCRP.* Under an agreement executed in 2016, during the first royalty interest period of April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2025, we were obligated to pay HCRP the first $3.0 million and any cumulative remaining shortfall amount plus 15% of the next $1.0 million in royalties earned in each year commencing on April 1, with any excess revenue being retained by us. Further, during the second royalty interest period beginning April 1, 2025 and ending on December 24, 2029, HCRP is entitled to the first $2.7 million and any cumulative remaining shortfall amount plus 15% of the next $1.0 million in royalties, with any excess revenue being retained by us. See [Note 6](#Note6) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 for further details.

*Operating leases.* Operating lease amounts include future minimum lease payments under all our non-cancelable operating leases with an initial term in excess of one year. On April 20, 2026, Vaxart, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its lease agreement (the "Utah Avenue Lease") with a landlord (the "Utah Avenue Landlord") relating to certain properties currently leased to the Company that are located on Utah Avenue in South San Francisco, California. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company agreed to lease from the Utah Avenue Landlord two additional suites in an additional building on Utah Avenue with a total of approximately 3,531 rentable square feet of space (the "Additional Leased Space"), effective as of May 14, 2026 (the "Expansion Commencement Date"). The term of the lease of the Additional Leased Space is 36 months from the Expansion Commencement Date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Amendment and the Utah Avenue Lease.

As previously disclosed, in December 2025, the Company entered into a termination agreement (the "Termination Agreement") with another landlord (the "Harbor Way Landlord") in connection with the termination of that certain lease agreement (the "Harbor Way Lease") for certain premises located at 170 Harbor Way, South San Francisco, California 94080 that served as the Company's headquarters. The Harbor Way Lease consists of approximately 24,606 square feet of rentable space. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company and the Harbor Way Landlord agreed to terminate the Harbor Way Lease effective as of May 15, 2026.

*Purchase obligations.* As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $19.3 million of non-cancelable purchase commitments, principally for clinical services which are expected to be paid within the next year. Approximately $18.2 million of non-cancelable purchase commitments are attributable to a third-party vendor that provides clinical services, that is reimbursable at approximately $19.6 million under a cost-plus-fixed-fees arrangement in the ATI-RRPV Contract.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates.

***Accrued Research and Development Expenses***

We record accrued expenses for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, which include the conduct of preclinical studies and clinical trials, and contract manufacturing activities. We record the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided and include the costs incurred but not yet invoiced within other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and within research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. These costs can be a significant component of our research and development expenses.

We estimate the amount of work completed through discussions with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services. We make significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, we adjust our accrued estimates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 35

***Intangible Assets***

Intangible assets comprise developed technology and intellectual property. Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over useful life of 11.75 years for developed technology and 20 years for intellectual property. The fair value as of March 31, 2026 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of 3.6 years and 1.8 years for developed technology and intellectual property, respectively.

***Revenue from Government Contracts***

Under firm fixed-price milestone contracts, we recognize the firm fixed-price revenue as the milestones are substantially complete and the firm fixed-price for the milestone is earned ("firm fixed-price milestone"). Cash received in advance of the completion of a firm fixed-price milestone will be recorded as deferred revenue until the milestone has been substantially completed and earned. Under cost reimbursable contracts, we recognize revenue as allowable costs are incurred and the fixed fee is earned ("cost-plus-fixed-fee"). Reimbursable costs under the contract primarily include direct labor, subcontract costs, materials, equipment, travel, and approved overhead and indirect costs. Fixed fees under cost reimbursable contracts are earned in proportion to the allowable costs incurred in performance of the work relative to total estimated contract costs, with such costs incurred representing a reasonable measurement of the proportional performance of the work completed.

Payments to us under cost reimbursable contracts are provisional payments subject to adjustment upon annual audit by the government. Management believes that revenue for periods not yet audited has been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final audit and settlement. When the final determination of the allowable costs for any year has been made, revenue and billings may be adjusted accordingly in the period that the adjustment is known.

***Stock-Based Compensation***

We measure the fair value of all stock option awards to employees, non-executive directors and consultants on the grant date, and record the fair value of these awards, net of estimated forfeitures, as compensation expense over the service period. The fair value of options is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the expense recorded is affected by subjective assumptions regarding a number of variables, as follows:

<u>Expected term</u> – This represents the period that our stock-based awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method (the arithmetic average of its original contractual term and its average vesting term). We have very limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for our stock-based awards. Based on the weighted average applied to options awarded in the three months ended March 31, 2026, a notional 10% decrease in expected term would have reduced the fair value and the related compensation expense by approximately 2.4%.

<u>Expected volatility</u> – This is a measure of the amount by which our common stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. Since the beginning of 2020, we have measured volatility based on the historical volatility of our own stock over the retrospective period corresponding to the expected term of the options on the measurement date. Based on the weighted average applied to options awarded in the three months ended March 31, 2026, a notional 10% decrease in expected volatility (from 118.4% to 106.5%) would have reduced the fair value and the related compensation expense by approximately 4.6%.

<u>Risk-free interest rate</u> – This is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve on the measurement date corresponding with the expected term of the stock-based awards.

<u>Expected dividend</u> – We have not made any dividend payments and do not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, we use an expected dividend yield of zero.

<u>Forfeiture rate</u> – This is a measure of the number of awards that are expected to not vest and is reassessed quarterly. An increase in the estimated forfeiture rate will cause a small decrease to the related compensation expense early in the service period, but since the final expense recorded for each award is the number of options vested times their grant date fair value, it has no impact on the total expense recorded.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

See the "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in [Note 2](#Note_2) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 for information related to the issuance of new accounting standards to date. We are currently assessing the impact those new standards will have on the consolidated financial statements.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

**Interest Rate Sensitivity**

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investments in marketable debt securities. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, maintain liquidity that is sufficient to meet cash needs and maximize total return without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this goal, we maintain our excess cash and cash equivalents in money market funds and marketable debt securities. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and we hold no equity securities. We presently have no borrowings or lines of credit.

Specifically, as of March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $61.0 million, which consist of primarily bank deposits, money market funds and U.S. government securities. All of our investments must satisfy high credit rating requirements at the time of purchase. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk, however, because our investments are rated highly and mostly short-term, we believe that our exposure to risk of loss due to interest rate changes is not significant.

**Exchange Rate Sensitivity**

Our royalty revenue, which is calculated in U.S. dollars, is based on sales in Japanese yen, so a 1% increase in the strength of the U.S. dollar against the yen would lead to a 1% reduction in royalty revenue and related accounts receivable. All our other revenue and substantially all of our expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars and, as a result, we have not experienced significant foreign exchange gains or losses recently and do not anticipate that foreign exchange gains or losses will be significant in the near future.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal accounting and financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2026.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There was no material change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls** 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting and financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Vaxart have been detected.

**PART II** — **OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

The information included in "[Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies—(c)](#Note_8)[Litigation](#N9Litigation)" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 is incorporated by reference into this Item.

We may also from time to time be involved in legal proceedings arising in connection with our business. Based on information currently available, we believe that the amount, or range, of reasonably possible losses in connection with any pending actions against us in excess of established reserves, in the aggregate, is not material to our condensed consolidated financial condition or cash flows. However, any current or future dispute resolution or legal proceeding, regardless of the merits of any such proceeding, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources that are needed to run our business successfully, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

You should consider the risks and uncertainties described under Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2026, together with all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, when evaluating our business and our prospects. There are no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, except as described below.

***Currently, a significant portion of the funds to study our COVID vaccine candidate is expected to come from HHS BARDA. If HHS BARDA were to further reduce, eliminate, delay, or object to funding available to us under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, this could have a significant, negative impact on our revenues and cash flows, and we may be forced to suspend or terminate the continued development of the product candidate or obtain alternative sources of funding.***

In June 2024, we entered into the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract with ATI, the Rapid Response Partnership Vehicle's Consortium Management Firm funded by HHS BARDA. The 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, as modified and amended to date, provides for a funding ceiling of approximately $460.7 million. Funding has been released pursuant to authorized milestones delineated in a series of contract modifications. Pursuant to Modification No. 6 to the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, dated March 10, 2026 (the most recent contract modification), the total amount of funding available for payment under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract is approximately $316.0 million.

We anticipate that a significant portion of the funding to further develop our COVID-19 vaccine candidate will come from the remaining amounts to be received under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. The 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract provides that the government has the right to determine whether to fund the continued performance of the study after the initial funding. In the second half of 2024, the Company initiated and completed enrollment of the 400-participant sentinel cohort of its Phase 2b study comparing the Company's XBB COVID-19 vaccine candidate to an approved mRNA XBB comparator. In January 2025, the independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB) reviewed 30-day sentinel cohort data and recommended the study proceed without modifications. Twelve-month follow-up data from the sentinel cohort is expected in the first half of 2026. In February 2025, ATI issued a stop work order on the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. Subsequently, in April 2025, the Company received written notification from ATI lifting the stop work order, permitting the Company to resume incurring costs, participating in meetings, and communicating with the Government and ATI concerning the project award. In May 2025, HHS BARDA approved initiation of dosing in the 10,000-participant main cohort of the Phase 2b study, and the Company announced the first participant dosed later that month.

In August 2025, ATI issued a second stop work order directing the Company to halt further screening and enrollment for the COVID-19 Phase 2b trial under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract. As of the August notification date, the Company had enrolled approximately half of the targeted number of participants for the main cohort of the study. On October 8, 2025, ATI issued a Follow-Up Notice confirming BARDA's intent to stop all ongoing enrollment under the contract while permitting continued follow-up and planned analyses of both the sentinel cohort and the enrolled main study population. Contract funding is currently under review and is likely to be reduced commensurate with the reduced enrollment of approximately 5,000 participants versus the original planned enrollment of 10,000 participants in the main cohort of the Phase 2b study.

Even as we continue to receive funds under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, the terms of the grant may unfavorably change, or the amount of funding may further decrease. If there is any government decision to discontinue funding under the 2024 ATI-RRPV Contract, our revenues and cash flows would be significantly and negatively impacted and we may be forced to seek alternative sources of funding, which may not be available on non-dilutive terms, terms favorable to us, or at all.

***There can be no assurance that Dynavax Technologies Corporation, a Sanofi company ("Dynavax") will continue to perform the obligations under the 2025 License and Collaboration Agreement or that Dynavax will not exercise its right to terminate the agreement.***

On February 10, 2026, Sanofi completed its acquisition of Dynavax. As a result of the consummation of the merger, Dynavax became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sanofi. Sanofi's vaccine portfolio includes multiple influenza vaccines (Fluzone High-Dose, Flublok, Fluzone) and a co-commercialized protein-based COVID-19 vaccine, Nuvaxovid. Sanofi is also developing a combination, single-shot COVID-19/flu vaccine for adults 50+ using Novavax technology, targeting a non-mRNA approach. Sanofi can be expected to make their decision for further investments in our Dynavax partnered COVID-19 vaccine and potentially other Vaxart assets in the context of this larger vaccine portfolio.

***Changes in the regulatory environment for vaccines could adversely impact our product development and commercialization efforts.***

Recent developments in U.S. vaccine oversight, including increased involvement by the FDA Commissioner's office in approval decisions and changes to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), may create additional uncertainty in the regulatory process. These changes could result in new or heightened requirements for clinical data, slower review timelines, or altered recommendations for use, any of which could adversely affect the timing, likelihood of approval, and market acceptance of our vaccine candidates.

***Our common stock has been delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market. There can therefore be no assurance that it will trade on a national exchange again.***

Effective July 8, 2025, Nasdaq suspended trading in our common stock and subsequently informed the Company on September 19, 2025, that the Company's common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market due to the Company's ongoing failure to comply with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Vaxart, Inc. was formally delisted from Nasdaq following a final determination by the Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Department on November 3, 2025. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQX under the ticker symbol "VXRT." We can provide no assurance that our common stock will continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes for our common stock, and whether the trading volume of our common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market in the future. Stocks trading in the OTC Markets generally have substantially less liquidity, hence, decreasing our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." If we are no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not qualify as covered securities under the statute and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

***We may not be able to retain coverage by securities or industry analysts because our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.***

The trading in our common stock is influenced by independent research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business from time to time. Because our common stock trades on the OTCQX Best Market rather than a national securities exchange, our exposure to media and coverage by securities and industry analysts may be limited. Further, if one or more of the analysts who cover us should downgrade our shares or change their opinion of our business prospects, our share price may be adversely impacted.

***We may be unable to realize the potential benefits of our collaboration with Dynavax.***

On November 4, 2025, we entered into the License Agreement with Dynavax, pursuant to which we have granted Dynavax an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize our investigational oral vaccine candidate for COVID-19 based on our oral delivery platform for COVID Indications. On February 10, 2026, Sanofi completed its acquisition of Dynavax. As a result of the consummation of the merger, Dynavax became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sanofi.

Under the License Agreement, we have agreed to, among other things, continue to develop our oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate through completion of the ongoing Phase 2b clinical trial of such vaccine candidate. Following a planned for end-of-Phase 2 meeting ("EOP2 Meeting") with the FDA, Dynavax will have the choice, in its sole discretion, to assume responsibility for the continued development of the vaccine candidate. If Dynavax elects to undertake the continued development of our oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate, then we will be entitled to receive from Dynavax a fee of $50 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement. The License Agreement further contemplates specific milestone payments payable by Dynavax to us, subject to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement. If Dynavax does not elect to assume responsibility for such continued development of the vaccine candidate, then the License Agreement will terminate pursuant to its terms.

There can be no guarantee that the collaboration with Dynavax will be successful, and we may be unable to realize in full or in part the potential benefits of such collaboration if the results of the Phase 2b clinical trial and EOP2 Meeting are unfavorable or Dynavax does not elect to assume responsibility for the continued development of our oral pill COVID-19 vaccine candidate. Even if Dynavax elects to assume responsibility for such continued development, our collaboration with Dynavax may not result in the successful development or commercialization of products or product candidates in light of the following risks:

● collaborators often have significant discretion in determining the efforts and resources that they will apply to the collaboration, and may not commit sufficient resources to the development, marketing or commercialization of the product or products that are subject to the collaboration;

● collaborators may not perform their obligations as expected;

● any such collaboration may significantly limit our share of potential future profits from the associated program, and may require us to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our current product candidates, potential products or proprietary technologies or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us;

● collaborators may cease to devote resources to the development or commercialization of product candidates being jointly developed if the collaborators view such product candidates as competitive with their own products or product candidates;

● disagreements with collaborators, including disagreements over proprietary rights, contract interpretation or the course of development, might cause delays or termination of the development or commercialization of product candidates, and might result in legal proceedings, which would be time consuming, distracting and expensive;

● collaborators may be impacted by changes in their strategic focus or available funding, or business combinations involving them, which could cause them to divert resources away from the collaboration;

● collaborators may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, which may expose us to litigation and potential liability;

● the collaborations may not result in us achieving revenues to justify such transactions; and

● collaborations may be terminated and, if terminated, may result in a need for us to raise additional capital to pursue further development or commercialization of the applicable product candidate.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**

None.

**Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities**

Not applicable.

**Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures**

Not applicable.

**Item *5*. Other Information**

During the quarter ended *March 31, 2026*, no director or officer, as defined in Rule *16a*-*1*(f), adopted or terminated a "Rule *10b5*-*1* trading arrangement" or a "non-Rule *10b5*-*1* trading arrangement," each as defined in Item *408* of Regulation S-K.

## Exhibit 10.1

**Exhibit 10.1**

**VAXART, INC.**<br> **NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION PROGRAM**

Non-employee members of the board of directors (the "<u>Board</u>") of Vaxart, Inc. (the "<u>Company</u>") shall receive cash and equity compensation as set forth in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (this "<u>Program</u>"). This Program has been adopted under the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan or its successor (the "<u>Equity Plan</u>") and shall be effective as of March 10, 2026 (the "<u>Effective Date</u>"). Except as provided in Section 3(b) below, the cash and equity compensation described in this Program shall be paid or be granted, as applicable, automatically and without further action of the Board, to each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company and (each, a "<u>Non-Employee Director</u>"), unless such Non-Employee Director declines the receipt of such cash or equity compensation by written notice to the Company. This Program shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board. This Program may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time in its sole discretion.

**1. Compensation Philosophy**. The Program is designed to enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain highly qualified Non-Employee Directors. The Program includes a cash component, which is designed to compensate Non-Employee Directors for their service on the Board and an equity component, which is designed to align the interests of Non-Employee Directors and stockholders. To enhance the alignment with stockholders, the Board generally attempts to structure the cash compensation for Non-Employee Directors at approximately the 25th to 50th percentile of the market data of the Company's compensation peer group and equity awards at approximately the 50th to 75th percentile of the market data. The Board, however, retains discretion to adjust specific compensation elements and levels above or below these guidelines to respond to market conditions, change in time commitments or other circumstances.

**2. Cash Compensation**.

(a) <u>Annual Retainers</u>. Each Non-Employee Director shall receive an annual cash retainer of $40,000 for service on the Board.

(b) <u>Additional Annual Retainers</u>. In addition, each Non-Employee Director shall receive the following additional annual cash retainers, as applicable:

(i) *Chairperson of the Board*. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Board shall receive an additional annual retainer of $30,000 for such service.

(ii) *Audit Committee*. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Audit Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $20,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Audit Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000 for such service.

(iii) *Compensation Committee*. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Compensation Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $12,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Compensation Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer of $6,000 for such service.

(iv) *Science and Technology Committee*. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Science and Technology Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $15,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Science and Technology Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer of $7,500 for such service.

(v) *Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee*. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer of $5,000 for such service.

(c) <u>Payment of Retainers</u>. The annual retainers described in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) shall be earned on a quarterly basis based on a calendar quarter and shall be paid by the Company in arrears not later than the fifteenth day following the end of each calendar quarter. In the event a Non-Employee Director does not serve as a Non-Employee Director, or in the applicable positions described in Section 2(b), for an entire calendar quarter, the retainer paid to such Non-Employee Director shall be prorated for the portion of such calendar quarter during which he or she actually served as a Non-Employee Director, or in such position, as applicable.

**3. Equity Compensation**. Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the equity awards described below. The equity awards described below shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Equity Plan and shall be granted subject to the execution and delivery of award agreements in substantially the forms previously approved by the Board. All applicable terms of the Equity Plan apply to this Program as if fully set forth herein, and all grants of equity awards hereby are subject in all respects to the terms of the Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement.

(a) <u>Initial Awards</u>. Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board after the Effective Date shall automatically be granted on the day of such first election or appointment, without further action of the Board: (i) a stock option to purchase 157,400 shares of the Company's common stock, and (ii) a restricted stock unit award covering 78,800 shares of the Company's common stock. The awards described in this Section 3(a) shall be referred to as "<u>Initial Awards</u>". No Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award.

(b) <u>Annual Awards</u>. Except as provided below, a Non-Employee Director who is serving on the Board as of the date of any annual meeting of the Company's stockholders after the Effective Date, and who will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following such meeting, shall automatically be granted on the date of such annual meeting, without further action of the Board: (i) a stock option to purchase 78,700 shares of the Company's common stock, and (ii) a restricted stock unit award covering 39,400 shares of the Company's common stock. The awards described in this Section 3(b) shall be referred to as "<u>Annual Awards</u>". For the avoidance of doubt, a Non-Employee Director who is elected for the first time to the Board at an annual meeting of the Company's stockholders shall only receive an Initial Award in connection with such election and shall not receive any Annual Award on the date of such meeting as well. In addition, in the event of an adjournment or postponement of any annual meeting following the time such meeting commences, the date of the annual meeting for purposes of this clause (b) shall be the date on which all the business to be conducted at the annual meeting is concluded. If a Non-Employee Director is initially elected or appointed to the Board other than at an annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, then the Annual Award for his or her initial term and partial Service Period (as defined below) shall be reduced proportionately, such that the fixed share numbers set forth in Sections 3(b)(i) and (ii) above will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the period commencing on (and including) the date of the initial election or appointment and ending on (and including) the last day of the applicable Service Period, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Service Period (with any resulting fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share). For this purpose, the term "<u>Service Period</u>" means the period commencing on (and including) the date of the annual meeting of the Company's stockholders that occurred immediately prior to the date that the Non-Employee Director was initially elected or appointed to the Board and ending on (and including) the date immediately prior to the date of the next occurring annual meeting of the Company's stockholders.

------

(c) <u>Termination of Employment of Employee Directors</u>. Members of the Board who are employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company who subsequently terminate their employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company and remain on the Board will not receive an Initial Award pursuant to Section 3(a) above, but to the extent that they are otherwise entitled, will receive, after termination from employment with the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company, Annual Awards as described in Section 3(b) above, determined as if they were initially elected or appointed to the Board as of the date of termination of employment.

(d) <u>Terms of Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors</u>

(i) *Exercise Price*. The per share exercise price of each stock option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall equal the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Equity Plan) of a share of common stock on the date the option is granted.

(ii) *Vesting*. Each Initial Award shall vest and become exercisable in substantially equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through each such vesting date. Each Annual Award shall vest and become exercisable on the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of the date of grant, or (B) the date immediately prior to the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders following the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing in service on the Board through such vesting date. Unless the Board otherwise determines, no portion of an Initial Award or Annual Award which is unvested at the time of a Non-Employee Director's termination of service on the Board shall become vested thereafter. Upon a Change in Control, all outstanding equity awards granted under the Equity Plan that are held by a Non-Employee Director shall become fully vested and exercisable, irrespective of any other provisions of the Plan or any award agreement.

(iii) *Term*. The term of each stock option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall be ten years from the date the option is granted.

**4. Compensation Limits**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Program, all compensation payable under this Program will be subject to any limits on the maximum amount of Non-Employee Director compensation set forth in the Equity Plan, as in effect from time to time.

**5. Insider Trading Policy**. Each Non-Employee Director will be subject to the Insider Trading and Securities Law Compliance Policy of Vaxart, Inc. ("<u>Insider Trading Policy</u>"), and any transactions involving Company securities will be subject to the Insider Trading Policy and applicable securities laws and regulations.
