This Amendment No. 7 (this "Amendment") to Schedule 14D-9 amends and supplements the Schedule 14D-9 previously filed by CureVac N.V., a public limited liability company (*naamloze vennootschap*) organized under the laws of the Netherlands having its registered office (*statutaire zetel*) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, registered with the Dutch trade register under number 77798031 (the "Company" or "CureVac") on October 21, 2025 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Schedule 14D-9"), with respect to the exchange offer (the "Offer") by BioNTech SE, a European stock corporation (*Societas Europaea*) organized under the laws of Germany and the European Union, registered with the commercial register at the district court of Mainz under HRB 48720 ("Buyer" or "BioNTech"), and the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, filed by Buyer with the SEC on October 21, 2025 (together with the exhibits thereto, as may be amended from time to time, the "Schedule TO"), pursuant to which Buyer offered to exchange each ordinary share, par value €0.12 per share, of the Company validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer for the right to receive (such consideration, the "Offer Consideration") a number of American Depositary Shares of BioNTech ("BioNTech ADSs"), each representing one BioNTech ordinary share. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not defined herein shall have the respective meaning given to such terms in the Schedule 14D-9.

The information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference, except that such information is hereby amended or supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.
