(Nasdaq: NVAX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, employs its cuttingedge technology to create next-generation vaccines to prevent serious infectious diseases, such as pandemic and seasonal flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The company’s proprietary virus-like particle (VLP) technology and single-use bioprocessing system enable rapid vaccine development and production where and when needed, worldwide. For more information about Novavax, please visit www.novavax.com. Proprietary Technology VLPs mimic the external structure of viruses but lack the live genetic material that causes viral replication and infection. VLPs can be designed quickly to match individual viral strains and be produced efficiently using portable cell-culture technology. Novavax VLP-based vaccine candidates are produced more rapidly than eggbased vaccines using proprietary, portable, recombinant cell-culture technology.

Courbron, M.S., PMP Executive Director, Global Program Management John Herrmann III, J.D. Executive Director, Legal Affairs and Corporate Secretary Recombinant cell verses traditional egg-based manufacturing Novavax’s single-use bioprocessing system has significant advantages over the traditional egg-based method. Less space is needed; it takes one 1,000 liter stir tank compared to one million eggs to produce one million doses of vaccine. The use of disposables makes it efficient and highly cost effective. Furthermore, Novavax can produce reliable and effective flu vaccine in about half the time it takes for the traditional egg-based method. Novavax stands ready to partner with governments to quickly respond when the next influenza pandemic strikes.
