Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP and Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP Announce a Class Action for All Vaxart Shareholders that May Include You, Even if You Participated in the Previous Partial Settlement with Vaxart
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP & Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP: UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA THIS NOTICE PROVIDES ONLY LIMITED INFORMATION ABOUT THE CASE The Court has certified this lawsuit as a class action for Vaxart shareholders that may include you, even if you participated in the previous partial settlement with Vaxart. This notice summarizes your rights and options, but please visit for more detailed information. If you're included in the Class or Subclass (defined below) and do nothing, you will be bound by whatever results are reached in this class action. However, if you want to be free to bring your own separate suit (at your expense) against the Armistice Defendants (defined below) on the claims at issue, you must submit a 'request for exclusion' by July 25, 2025. There is no money available now, and there may never be any. Wasn't there a previous settlement? Yes. In 2023, the Court previously approved a partial settlement with Vaxart and certain of its current or former officers and directors. The deadline to collect from or opt out of that settlement has passed. Meanwhile, Plaintiffs continued to litigate claims against the non-settling defendants Armistice Capital, LLC, Armistice Capital Master Fund, Armistice's owner and founder Steven Boyd, and Armistice's managing director Keith Maher (collectively, 'Armistice Defendants'). If Plaintiffs obtain a trial verdict or settlement, you may get a share of the recovery from the Armistice Defendants even if you participated in the previous partial settlement. What is this case against the Armistice Defendants about? Plaintiffs claim the Armistice Defendants violated Sections 10(b) & 20A of the Securities Exchange Act. The Armistice Defendants deny they did anything wrong. The Court has not decided whether Plaintiffs or the Armistice Defendants are right. Plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and the Class, will have to prove their claims at a trial beginning on October 27, 2025. Are you affected? All persons or entities who (i) purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded Vaxart common stock, or (ii) purchased call options or sold put options thereon, between June 25 and July 24, 2020 inclusive (the 'Class Period'), and were damaged thereby, are members of the Class. Any members of the Class who purchased contemporaneously with the Armistice Defendants' June 26 and 29, 2020 sales of Vaxart common stock and were damaged thereby are also members of the Subclass. Who represents you? The Court appointed the law firms of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP and Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP as 'Class Counsel' to represent you and all Class and Subclass members. You do not have to pay Class Counsel (or anyone else) to have your interests represented in this Action. If a recovery is obtained in this Action, the Court will direct that any attorneys' fees and costs will be paid from any such recovery. However, if instead you submit a 'request for exclusion' (see below), you may hire your own lawyer (at your expense) to bring your own claims against the Armistice Defendants separately. What are your options? (1) You can either stay in the class action OR (2) you can ask to be excluded. If you stay in the Class, you will be bound by all Court decisions reached in it, and you won't be able to sue the Armistice Defendants for the same legal claims that are the subject of this lawsuit. To stay in the Class, you don't have to do anything now, and you will be notified later, on how to collect a share of the Class's recovery, if any, that may be obtained. If you want to be excluded, then you must submit a 'request for exclusion' by July 25, 2025 (see instructions below). If you do, the Court will exclude you from the Class (including the Subclass, if applicable). If you exclude yourself, you cannot get a share of the recovery, if any, obtained in this Action, but you will be free to sue the Armistice Defendants on the same claims (at your own expense) and will not be bound by any orders or judgments entered in this class action. To exclude yourself, you must send a written request stating that you 'request to be excluded from the Class in In re Vaxart Securities Litigation.' To be valid, your request must also include your name, address, telephone number, your signature, and copies of documents (do not send originals) sufficient to show how many shares of Vaxart common stock (and how many put or call options, if any) you purchased and/or sold between June 25 and July 24, 2020, inclusive. You must submit your exclusion request so that it is received no later than July 25, 2025. There are three ways to submit your exclusion request: (i) mail it to Vaxart Securities Litigation, EXCLUSIONS, c/o A.B. Data, Ltd., P.O. Box 173001, Milwaukee, WI 53217; (ii) submit it on the web portal accessible at or (iii) email it to exclusion@ Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, your exclusion request must comply with the above requirements to be valid. Please note that you cannot exclude yourself on the phone. How can you get more information? If you have questions or seek additional information about this action (including the operative Complaint, the Armistice Defendants' Answer, and selected Orders of the Court to date), visit write to Vaxart Securities Litigation, c/o A.B. Data, Ltd., P.O. Box 173133, Milwaukee, WI 53217; or call 877-388-1723.

The Board of Directors of Vaxart believes that the approval of Proposal No. 2 regarding the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the stockholders of Vaxart for the following reasons: regains compliance of Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement and helps ensure that the Company's common stock can remain listed on Nasdaq; brokerage firms may be more reluctant to recommend lower priced securities to their clients and investors may also be dissuaded from purchasing lower priced stocks because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction, tend to be higher for such stocks; analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower priced stocks and that most investment funds are reluctant to invest in lower priced stocks; and a higher stock price may help generate investor interest in the Company and help the Company attract and retain employees. Vaxart encourages all stockholders of record on March 26, 2025 who have not yet voted to do so by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 1, 2025.

Vaxart Addresses Frequently Asked Questions on Reverse Stock Split Proposal in Definitive Proxy Statement
Company Urges Stockholders to Vote FOR Reverse Stock Split Proposal at Upcoming Annual Meeting to Avoid Nasdaq Delisting SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vaxart, Inc. (Nasdaq: VXRT) today addresses frequently asked stockholder questions regarding a reverse stock split proposal at the Company's Annual Meeting taking place on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, to regain Nasdaq compliance. 1) Why is Vaxart proposing a reverse stock split? a. Vaxart is at risk of being delisted from Nasdaq since the Company's share price is not in compliance with their minimum $1.00 bid price requirement. A reverse split of the Company's common stock enables Vaxart to regain compliance and helps to ensure that the Company's common stock can remain listed on Nasdaq. 2) Will the Reverse Stock Split change the value of my investment? a. No. The reverse stock split does not impact the aggregate value of a stockholder's investment or percentage ownership interest in the Company, except with respect to the treatment of fractional shares. Stockholders will own fewer shares at an anticipated higher price per share. 3) Will the Reverse Stock Split cause dilution in Vaxart's stock? a. No. The reverse split only causes a change for all issued shares of Vaxart's common stock uniformly. 4) Why is the proposed Reverse Stock Split ratio of not less than 1-for-5 and not more than 1-for-50 so wide? a. Since the closing per share stock price was $0.42 as of Friday, May 9, 2025, the Company has no present intention of effecting a reverse stock split as high as 1:50. The board of directors intends to select a ratio for the reverse stock split only high enough as it deems necessary to resolve the Nasdaq deficiency. Of course, Vaxart prefers the requirement to be satisfied through appreciation of Vaxart's stock price and, if our stock closes above $1.00 in the timeframe required and continues trading above $1.00, the board of directors may decide not to effect the reverse stock split even if it has been approved. 5) Can Vaxart institute a share repurchase program instead? a. Since we are not currently a profitable company, we believe that instituting a share repurchase program would not be a prudent use of capital at this time. Funds from the Project NextGen award are directly used only for costs related to our Phase 2b COVID-19 clinical trial. 6) Can the Company continue trading on Nasdaq without executing a reverse stock split? a. It is unlikely that the Company will continue trading on Nasdaq without a reverse stock split unless there is a sudden change in the stock price above $1.00 to regain compliance. 7) What are the anticipated benefits of the reverse stock split for Vaxart and its stockholders? a. There are many benefits of the reverse stock split: 1) It is anticipated to maintain our Nasdaq listing, which is the primary driver behind the proposed reverse stock split; 2) It potentially increases our market visibility that may broaden our investor appeal; and 3) It potentially enhances our long-term value since the result will likely increase trading volume and facilitate future financing opportunities, which are critical to advancing our important work. 8) Have any independent proxy advisory firms weighed in on the reverse stock split proposal? a. Yes. In addition to Vaxart's board of directors unanimously recommending stockholders vote 'FOR' the reverse stock split proposal, both of the leading independent proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis, recommend Vaxart's stockholders support this important proposal. In making their recommendations, ISS and Glass Lewis cite the current risk of Vaxart being delisted from Nasdaq. 9) Are there other options to increase the share price? a. Yes. We continue to pursue numerous options to enhance stockholder value, but currently a reverse stock split is often the most direct and immediate way to address low share price issues and meet listing requirements. Organic price appreciation depends on, among other things, positive clinical trial results, regulatory progress, and market sentiment, which can be less predictable and take more time. A reverse stock split provides us with a necessary foundation to attract a wider investor base and potentially benefit from future positive developments. 10) Will the reverse stock split change the fundamental value of Vaxart? a. No. A reverse stock split is a numerical adjustment to the number of outstanding shares and, consequently, the price per share. It does not inherently change the underlying business operations, assets, or potential of Vaxart. For example, if you own 100 shares at $1.00 each (total value $100) and there is a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, you would own 10 shares at an anticipated $10.00 each (still a total value of $100), excluding any potential market reactions. The goal is to create a share price that maintains our Nasdaq listing, makes us more attractive to a broader range of investors, and positions us for future growth. 11) Would Vaxart be better off trading on the OTC? a. No. If our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, this could adversely affect the value of the securities that you hold and our trading volume, making it more difficult to buy and sell our securities. Trading on the OTC means significantly lower visibility, limiting our access to the larger pool of capital available on major exchanges. Crucially, many institutional investors have mandates that restrict or outright prohibit them from investing in OTC-listed companies due to the perceived higher risk, lower liquidity, and less stringent regulatory requirements. Furthermore, we anticipate that a delisting could lead to a cessation of research coverage by financial analysts. This lack of research coverage would reduce market visibility and potentially negatively impact investor sentiment and understanding of our value proposition. 12) How does the reverse stock split fit into the Company's overall strategy? a. A reverse stock split is not an option that Vaxart prefers; however, we believe it is in the best interest of the Company and stockholders to maintain our Nasdaq listing. Maintaining our listing on Nasdaq listing is essential in supporting the Company's overall strategy of progressing its clinical stage programs for COVID-19 and norovirus while continuing to advance its promising preclinical pipeline. 13) Does management stand to benefit from stockholders approving the reverse stock split? a. No. Management equity is adjusted accordingly. In fact, management has also suffered losses related to the Company's share price decline. 14) Will Vaxart pursue non-dilutive funding or partnership options? a. Vaxart has already obtained significant non-dilutive funding in the form of its BARDA award as well as a smaller award from the Gates Foundation. Vaxart will continue to explore both business development partnerships and non-dilutive funding options. While the Company has held many productive meetings to date, more time and/or more data is needed to advance these discussions further. 15) Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy? a. Stockholders may change their vote at any time prior to the meeting. Your latest proxy card or other proxy is the one that is counted. If your shares are held by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or bank. Refer to the proxy statement for the annual meeting for additional details.
