*** SUPPORT VAXART’S
PROGRESS – YOUR VOTE COUNTS ***
Dear Fellow Vaxart, Inc. Stockholder:
The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Vaxart, Inc. (Nasdaq: VXRT),
was adjourned again until August 4, 2022 in order to allow more
time for stockholders to vote on Proposal 2, which is the Proposal
to adopt an amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation
to increase the authorized number of shares of our common
stock.
The Proposal is close to passing and we are encouraging the holders
that have not voted yet, to please vote your shares today and
support Proposal 2. For those that have initially voted against, we
would like you to review the information in this letter and the
Q&A session and FAQ page noted below and consider changing your
vote to support the Proposal, as holders of over 5 million shares
have already done.
Proposal 2 would enable Vaxart to continue to work to unlock and
create value by investing in the business so we can progress our
programs, allow the Company to maintain a strong balance sheet and
remain in a strong competitive position, and enable Vaxart to
continue to attract and retain key talent. Both leading proxy
advisory firms, ISS and Glass Lewis recommended voting in favor of
Proposal 2.
Importantly, the additional authorized shares will not
automatically become part of Vaxart’s outstanding shares, nor will
they be issued all at once. Rather, our plan is to issue shares
from this pool gradually, over time, in a thoughtful manner as has
been our past practice.
Because of the higher required vote for Proposal 2, every
stockholder’s vote is important no matter how many shares you may
own. Please submit your proxy as soon as possible. Stockholders of
record on April 11, 2022 who have not yet voted should do so by
11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 3, 2022.
As described in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, each of
Proposal 3 (amendment and restatement of the 2019 Equity Incentive
Plan) and Proposal 4 (approval of the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan) are contingent upon the approval of Proposal 2. Accordingly,
the meeting was also adjourned with respect to those two Proposals
in order to allow additional time for the stockholders to vote on
those Proposals and to solicit additional votes in favor of such
Proposals. On June 22, 2022, the Company held a live
question-and-answer webcast that provided an overview of the
Company’s oral vaccine programs and answered stockholder questions.
A replay of the webcast is available on the Investors page of the
Company’s website at www.vaxart.com. We hope that you will
watch the webcast to learn more about the Company and Proposal
2.
Stockholders of Vaxart are also urged to read the definitive proxy
statement on Schedule 14A filed by Vaxart with the SEC on April 28,
2022, and all other relevant documents filed with the SEC for
important information about Proposal 2 and the other Proposals to
be voted on at the Annual Meeting.
The fastest and easiest way to vote or change your vote is by
telephone or over the Internet. Instructions on how to vote your
shares over the telephone or Internet are enclosed with this
letter.
PLEASE VOTE TODAY AND HELP
VAXART GROW
Thank you for your investment in Vaxart, Inc. and taking the time
to vote your shares.
Sincerely,
Andrei
