Bavarian Nordic Secures Significant European Smallpox/Monkeypox Vaccine Order for 2023

• Bavarian Nordic to supply an additional 1.5 million doses of IMVANEX^® vaccine to an undisclosed European country
• Deliveries starting in the fourth quarter of 2022, but with the vast majority of doses to be delivered in 2023

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July 19, 2022 – Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA) announced today that a non-disclosed country has ordered an additional 1.5 million doses of IMVANEX^®, a non-replicating smallpox vaccine. While deliveries under this contract will start in 2022, the majority of the doses will be delivered during 2023 and as such this order has no impact on the financial guidance for this year.

Paul Chaplin, President and CEO of Bavarian Nordic said: “While governments and health authorities around the world are busy fighting the current monkeypox outbreak we applaud those governments thinking beyond the current situation and building stockpiles to secure future preparedness and we are proud to assist our customers in both efforts.”

With this order, together with previously announced orders from the US and Canada, Bavarian Nordic now has significant orders of smallpox/monkeypox vaccines, providing a robust basis for 2023.

About the smallpox/monkeypox vaccine
MVA-BN or Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (marketed as IMVANEX^® in Europe, JYNNEOS^® in the U.S. and IMVAMUNE^® in Canada) is a non-replicating smallpox vaccine developed in collaboration with the U.S. government to ensure supply of a smallpox vaccine for the entire population, including immunocompromised individuals who are not recommended vaccination with traditional replicating smallpox vaccines. The vaccine was approved by the European Commission in 2013 for immunization against smallpox in adults aged 18 years and older and has subsequently gained regulatory approvals in Canada and the U.S. where the approval has been extended to include the monkeypox indication as the only vaccine having obtained this to-date.

Bavarian Nordic has ongoing supply contracts with USA and Canada and has delivered the vaccine to a number of undisclosed countries globally as part of their national biological preparedness. In recent years, smaller quantities of the vaccine have been supplied in response to sporadic cases of monkeypox. During the ongoing 2022 outbreak of monkeypox, Bavarian Nordic has worked with several governments to fulfil the immediate demand for the vaccine through a number of supply agreements and is working to secure manufacturing of vaccines to fulfil the demand in the medium- to long term.
