<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Under the collaboration, Dynavax conducted a Phase 1 study of DV1179 to assess its safety and tolerability in healthy volunteers followed by a Phase 1b/2a study of safety and pharmacodynamics in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).&nbsp;&nbsp;In the SLE study, doses up to 60 mg/week for 8 weeks were well tolerated and the most common adverse events were injection site reactions, but DV1179 did not meet the pharmacodynamic endpoints related to reduction in interferon alpha-regulated genes. Following completion of the Phase 1b/2a study, GSK declined to exercise its option to license DV1179.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Nonclinical data suggest that DV1179 may have utility in a range of other indications and Dynavax is actively assessing opportunities for further development of this well&#8209;characterized therapeutic product candidate.&nbsp;&nbsp;In particular, promising data have been generated in animal models of sterile inflammation, suggesting potential use of TLR 7 and 9 inhibitors, such as DV1179, in treatment of conditions including autoimmune pancreatitis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).&nbsp;&nbsp;Dynavax is also assessing the potential of DV1179 in autoimmune diseases with localized rather than diffuse systemic manifestations such as scleroderma and dermatomyositis.</p>
