HEPLISAV-B was approved by the <a name="_Hlk498068287"></a>U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on November 9, 2017. It is the first new hepatitis B vaccine in the United States in more than 25 years and the only two-dose hepatitis B vaccine for adults. </font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">&#8220;Dynavax is prepared and proud to launch our first product, HEPLISAV-B, in the United States,&#8221; said Eddie Gray, chief executive officer of Dynavax. &#8220;We believe the increase in the rate of infections and poor compliance with current three-shot regimens has the medical community eager for access to HEPLISAV-B for adults. Given its two-dose schedule and delivery of high rates of protection, HEPLISAV-B is an important tool for preventing hepatitis B in the United States.&#8221;</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">HEPLISAV-B can now be ordered through a network of distributors, which will broaden over the next few weeks. The Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) for HEPLISAV-B of $115 per dose, or $230 per regimen, reflects the value HEPLISAV-B brings to the healthcare system. Dynavax is currently working with<font style="color:#000000;"> an extensive network of</font> group purchasing organizations and government entities to ensure all patients have access to HEPLISAV-B. A list of the current distributors in the Dynavax network can be accessed by calling 1-84-HEPLISAV (1-844-375-4728).</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Dynavax has begun activities to support broad reimbursement of HEPLISAV-B by insurance plans. Importantly, the American Medical Association has published a new and active Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for a two-dose adult hepatitis B vaccine, which was created to accommodate HEPLISAV-B&#8217;s two-dose, one-month schedule. A majority of plans currently have this unique code loaded into their claims processing systems. Some plans will require recommendation from the CDC&#8217;s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) prior to covering HEPLISAV-B. The next ACIP meeting is scheduled for February 21-22, 2018. Proactive payer outreach is currently ongoing, and will include updated ACIP information specific to HEPLISAV-B as it becomes available. Dynavax has staged the deployment of its field sales team to coincide with the upcoming ACIP meeting. </p>
