Notice to Bavarian Nordic shareholders in the United States of America
The Offer is being made in the U.S. in compliance with Section 14(e) of, and applicable provisions of Regulation 14E promulgated under, the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Danish law. The Offer is not subject to Section 14(d)(1) of, or Regulation 14D promulgated under, the Exchange Act. The Offer is subject to disclosure and procedural requirements that may be different than those applicable in relation to U.S. domestic tender offers, including with respect to withdrawal rights, the Offer timetable, notices of extensions, announcements of results, settlement procedures (including as regards to the time when payment of the consideration is rendered) and waivers of conditions. In addition, the financial information contained in the Offer Document has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and thus may not be comparable to financial information relating to U.S. companies. Shareholders whose place of residence, seat or habitual residence is in the U.S. (the "U.S. Shareholders") are encouraged to consult with their own advisors regarding the Offer.
Equal Treatment and Dissemination
The Offer is made to U.S. Shareholders on the same terms and conditions as those made to all other shareholders to whom the Offer is made. Any information documents, including the Offer Document, are being disseminated to U.S. Shareholders on a basis reasonably comparable to the method that such documents are provided to other shareholders.
Limitations on Enforcement and Jurisdiction
It may be difficult for U.S. Shareholders to enforce certain rights and claims they may have arising in connection with the Offer under U.S. securities laws, since the Offeror and Bavarian Nordic are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, and some or all of their respective officers and directors are residents of non-U.S. jurisdictions. U.S. Shareholders may not be able to sue the Offeror or Bavarian Nordic and/or their respective officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities Laws. Further, it may not be possible to compel the Offeror or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to subject themselves to the judgment of a U.S. court.
Tax Matters
The receipt of cash pursuant to the Offer by a U.S. Shareholder may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax Laws. Each U.S. Shareholder is urged to consult its independent professional advisor immediately regarding the tax consequences to such U.S. Shareholder of accepting the Offer.
Purchases Outside the Offer
In accordance with customary Danish practice and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, including Rule 14e-5(b) of the Exchange Act, the Offeror or any Offeror Affiliate or nominees or brokers of the foregoing (acting as agents or in a similar capacity), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Shares (or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such Shares) outside of the U.S., other than pursuant to the Offer, before or during the period in which the Offer remains open for acceptance. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. If, prior to completion of the Offer, the Offeror or any Offeror Affiliate or any nominee or broker of the foregoing acquires Shares at a higher price than the Offer Price, the Offeror will increase the Offer Price correspondingly as required by applicable Law. In addition, affiliates of the financial advisors to the Offeror may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of Bavarian Nordic, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities as long as such purchases or arrangements are in compliance with applicable Law and regulation. Any information about such purchases will be announced through Nasdaq Copenhagen and relevant electronic media if, and to the extent, such announcement is required under applicable Law, rules or regulations.
