Explanatory Note

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Novavax, Inc. (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 11, 2023 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K was filed to report the results of the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on July 11, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose, in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, the Company’s decision as to the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes regarding the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (i.e. “say on pay” votes). Except as set forth herein, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

 

Item 5.07.Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

Consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement with respect to the 2023 Annual Meeting, a majority of votes at the 2023 Annual Meeting were cast in favor of conducting “say on pay” votes on an annual basis. In light of this result and in accordance with the Board’s recommendation, the Board has determined that the Company will conduct “say on pay” votes on an annual basis until the next required shareholder advisory vote regarding the frequency of such votes. The next advisory vote regarding “say on pay” frequency is currently expected to be held at the Company’s 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
