of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
GenVec, Inc. (the “Company”) announced today that it
has effected a one-for-ten reverse split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s outstanding shares
of common stock, effective for holders of record at the close of business on November 30, 2016. To effectuate the Reverse Stock
Split, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the

The Company has retained American Stock Transfer & Trust Company
(“AST”) to act as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. AST will manage the exchange of old, pre-Reverse Stock
Split shares for new post-Reverse Stock Split shares. Stockholders will receive a letter of transmittal providing instructions

or brokers with any instructions. For further information, stockholders and securities brokers should contact AST at (877) 248-6417
