−Removed: Based on its assessment, our management has determined that, as of December 31, 2024, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective because of the following identified material weakness:
−Removed: • IT general controls deficiencies.
−Removed: These deficiencies specifically related to ineffective change management review and periodic access review controls, with respect to the Company’s human resources information system (“HRIS”), which was implemented in 2024.

−Removed: Management performed additional substantive procedures and concluded that there were no instances of inappropriate access, unauthorized or inappropriate changes to the system or material misstatements.
−Removed: While this material weakness did not result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, there is a reasonable possibility that business processes that depend on the HRIS or data from the HRIS could be adversely impacted and result in a material misstatement in the Company's annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be detected.
−Removed: Accordingly, we determined that the deficiencies when considered in aggregate constituted a material weakness.
−Removed: Management is in the process of implementing measures designed to remediate the control deficiencies that led to material weaknesses as of December 31, 2024, and have begun to implement the following steps:
−Removed: • Enhancing the assignment of control responsibilities and accountability to responsible operational and IT personnel;
−Removed: • Improving oversight by senior management;
−Removed: • Additional training for control performers of controls related to human resources and payroll processing;

−Removed: iv) A non-exclusive license to develop and commercialize other vaccine products selected by Sanofi that include the Company’s Matrix-M™ adjuvant (as described below, the “Adjuvant Products”).
−Removed: The Company is also responsible for performing services related to the technology transfer of its manufacturing process for the COVID-19 Vaccine Products and Matrix-M™ components to Sanofi.
−Removed: Until the successful completion of such transfer, the Company will supply Sanofi with both COVID-19 Vaccine Products and Matrix-M™ intermediary components for Sanofi’s use and is eligible for reimbursement of such costs from Sanofi.
−Removed: In addition, the Company is responsible for certain research and development and medical affairs services related to the COVID-19 Vaccine.
−Removed: Table o f Contents
−Removed: Under the Sanofi CLA, the Company will continue to commercialize its updated COVID-19 vaccine through the end of the 2024-2025 vaccination season.
−Removed: Beginning in 2025 and continuing during the term of the Sanofi CLA, Sanofi and the Company will commercialize the COVID-19 Vaccine Products worldwide in accordance with a commercialization plan agreed by the Company and Sanofi, under which the Company will continue to supply its existing APA customers and strategic partners, including Takeda and SII.
−Removed: Upon completion of the existing APAs, the Company and Sanofi will jointly agree on commercialization activities of each party in each jurisdiction.
−Removed: Pursuant to the Sanofi CLA, the Company received a non-refundable upfront payment of $ 500 million in the second quarter of 2024.
−Removed: In addition, the Company is eligible to receive development, technology transfer, launch, and sales milestone payments totaling up to $ 700 million in the aggregate with respect to the COVID-19 Vaccine Products and royalty payments on Sanofi’s sales of such licensed products.
−Removed: Milestone payments are comprised of a payment of $ 175 million upon the approval of the marketing authorization for a currently selected strain of the COVID-19 Vaccine in a pre-filled syringe from the U.S.
−Removed: Food and Drug Administration (“U.S.
−Removed: FDA”), $ 25 million upon the transfer of such approval to Sanofi, $ 25 million upon the transfer of European Medicines Agency approval of a COVID-19 Vaccine Product in a pre-filled syringe to Sanofi, $ 50 million upon database lock of an existing Phase 2/3 clinical trial (identifier 2019nCoV-503), $ 75 million upon the completion of the technology transfer of the Company’s manufacturing process for the COVID-19 Vaccine Products to Sanofi, $ 125 million upon achievement of certain CIC Product-related development milestones, and $ 225 million in CIC Product-related launch milestones.
−Removed: The Company achieved the $ 50 million milestone for database lock of an existing Phase 2/3 clinical trial in 2024 and the amount is included in accounts receivable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
−Removed: The Company is also eligible to receive development, launch, and sales milestone payments of up to $ 200 million for each of the first four Adjuvant Products and $ 210 million for each Adjuvant Product thereafter, and royalty payments on Sanofi’s sales of all such licensed products.
−Removed: In addition, a portion of the technology transfer costs and research and development costs incurred by the Company will be reimbursed by Sanofi in accordance with agreed upon plans and budgets.
−Removed: The Company assessed whether the Sanofi CLA fell within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”) based on whether the arrangement involved joint operating activities and whether both parties have active participation in the arrangement and are exposed to significant risks and rewards.
−Removed: The Company determined that the Sanofi CLA did not fall within the scope of ASC 808, as the Company does not share in the significant financial risks of Sanofi's development or commercialization activities.
−Removed: The Company then analyzed the arrangement pursuant to the provisions of ASC 606 and determined that the arrangement represents a contract with a customer and is therefore within the scope of ASC 606.
−Removed: The Company identified the following performance obligations in the Sanofi CLA and determined that they were within the scope of ASC 606:
−Removed: delivery of (i) the licenses described above (the COVID-19 Vaccine license, CIC Products license, Other Combination Product license, and Adjuvant Products license) (collectively the “Sanofi CLA Licenses’), (ii) research and development transition services that support further regulatory approval and development of the COVID-19 Vaccine, referred to as the “Sanofi Transition Services,” and (iii) technology transfer of the existing manufacturing process for the COVID-19 Vaccine Products and Matrix-M™ adjuvant, referred to as the “Sanofi Technology Transfer.”
−Removed: The Company also evaluated whether certain options outlined in the Sanofi Agreement represented material rights that would give rise to a performance obligation and concluded that none of the options convey a material right to Sanofi and therefore are not considered separate performance obligations within the Sanofi CLA.
−Removed: The Sanofi CLA Licenses performance obligations are considered functional intellectual property and distinct from other promises under the contract as Sanofi can benefit from the licenses on their own or together with other readily available resources.
−Removed: Also, the Sanofi Transition Services provide a distinct benefit to Sanofi within the context of the contract, separate from the licenses, as the services could be provided by Sanofi or another third party without the Company’s assistance.
−Removed: The Sanofi Technology Transfer obligation is distinct as Sanofi can benefit from the Sanofi CLA Licenses transferred by the Company at the inception of the agreement with other readily available resources.
−Removed: Therefore, each represents a separate performance obligation within the contract with a customer under the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception.
−Removed: The Company determined the initial transaction price at inception of the Sanofi CLA to be $ 620.2 million, consisting of (i) fixed consideration (the $ 500 million upfront nonrefundable fee), (ii) and $ 120.2 million of variable consideration attributed to a $ 50.0 million clinical milestone and $ 70.2 million of estimated cost reimbursement related to Sanofi Transition Services and Sanofi Technology Transfer.
−Removed: Since the clinical milestone allocated to Sanofi Transition Services is entirely within the Company’s control, and the cost reimbursement variable consideration allocated to Sanofi Transition Services and Sanofi Technology Transfer would be recognized as revenue only as the costs are incurred, the Company determined it is not probable
−Removed: Table o f Contents
−Removed: that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would occur.
−Removed: The Company utilized the expected value method to determine the amount of these payments.
−Removed: The Company excluded certain regulatory and technology transfer milestones from the transaction price that were determined to be inherently uncertain of achievement and are highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s control.
−Removed: Sales-based royalties and launch milestones are related to the license of the intellectual property rights and the Company will recognize revenue for these in the period when subsequent sales are made or sale-based milestones are achieved pursuant to the sales-based royalty exception under ASC 606.
−Removed: The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.
−Removed: The Company allocated the fixed consideration (i.e., the $ 500 million nonrefundable upfront fee) to the performance obligations in the Sanofi CLA based on each performance obligation’s relative SSP, as follows:
−Removed: • $ 389.6 million for the upfront transfer of the licenses;
−Removed: • $ 106.9 million for Sanofi Transition Services;
−Removed: • $ 3.5 million for Sanofi Technology Transfer.
−Removed: The SSP for the licenses were determined using an approach that considered discounted, probability-weighted cash flows related to the license transferred.
−Removed: In developing such estimates, the Company applied judgment in determining the forecasted revenue and the discount rate.
−Removed: The SSP for the ongoing Sanofi Transition Services and Sanofi Technology Transfer were based on estimates of the associated effort and cost of these services, adjusted for a reasonable gross profit margin that would be expected to be realized under similar contracts and the discount rate.
−Removed: The Company recognized revenue related to the licenses at a point in time upon transfer of the rights and control of the license to Sanofi during the second quarter of 2024.
−Removed: The Sanofi Transition Services and Sanofi Technology Transfer are recognized in revenue over time using an input method to measure progress by utilizing costs incurred to-date relative to total expected costs.
−Removed: Revenue recognized related to Sanofi Transition Services and Sanofi Technology Transfer for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $ 69.7 million.
−Removed: The Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 includes a deferred revenue balance of $ 87.6 million ($ 44.9 million included in Deferred revenue, current portion and $ 42.6 million included in Deferred revenue, non-current portion) related to Sanofi Transition Services and Sanofi Technology Transfer.
−Removed: The Company recognized an asset for $ 35.0 million of direct costs incurred to obtain the Sanofi CLA.
−Removed: These costs are amortized to expense over the expected period of the benefit in a manner that is consistent with the transfer of the related goods and services in the Sanofi CLA.
−Removed: The Company recognized $ 29.1 million of amortization expense related to the asset in Selling, general, and administrative expense for the year December 31, 2024, respectively.
−Removed: In May 2024, the Company also entered into a securities subscription agreement (the "Sanofi Subscription Agreement") with Sanofi, pursuant to which the Company sold and issued to Sanofi, in a private placement, 6.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $ 10.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $ 68.8 million.
−Removed: The opening price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the sale approximated $ 10.00 per share and therefore all gross proceeds were allocated to stockholders’ deficit.
−Removed: Bill & Melinda Gates Medical Research Institute
−Removed: In May 2023, the Company entered into a 3-year agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Medical Research Institute to provide the Company’s Matrix-M™ adjuvant for use in preclinical vaccine research.

−Removed: The closing of the Private Placement occurred on August 10, 2023.
−Removed: The fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of closing, based on the quoted market price, was $ 46.5 million, which results in a premium paid by SK of approximately $ 38 million.
−Removed: The Settlement Agreement and the SK Subscription Agreement were negotiated concurrently between the parties, and therefore were combined for accounting purposes and analyzed as a single arrangement.
−Removed: As a result, the Company recorded the $ 46.5 million fair value of common stock issued to SK, based on the quoted market price on the date of close, as an equity transaction.
−Removed: The remaining elements of the arrangement were deemed to relate to the settlement of the Company’s outstanding liabilities due to SK.
−Removed: These elements consist primarily of the cash payable to SK of $ 149.8 million, offset by the premium paid on the common stock purchase by SK of $ 38.0 million, which resulted in a net gain upon derecognition of the liabilities due to SK of $ 79.2 million in connection with the settlement.
−Removed: As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded this net gain of $ 79.2 million between research and development expense, for $ 57.7 million, and cost of sales, for $ 21.5 million, proportionally based on the where the underlying costs were originally recorded.

−Removed: Under the CSAR, the Company agreed to pay up to $ 185.0 million to Fujifilm in connection with the cancellation of manufacturing activity at FDBT.
−Removed: The final two quarterly installments due to Fujifilm in 2023 under the CSAR, totaling $ 68.6 million, were subject to Fujifilm’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate losses associated with the vacant manufacturing capacity caused by the termination of manufacturing activities at FDBT.
−Removed: In October 2023, the Company sent Fujifilm a notice of breach and refused to pay the final two installments based on its contention that Fujifilm had not used commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate losses and should have offset some portion of the final two payments.
−Removed: In October 2023, Fujifilm filed a demand for arbitration with Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) seeking payment of the full amount (the “Fujifilm Arbitration”).
−Removed: Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, in March 2024, the Company paid $ 42.0 million to Fujifilm, the parties agreed to a mutual release of claims arising from, under or otherwise in connection with the CSAR, and Fujifilm agreed to dismiss the Fujifilm Arbitration.
