COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 30, 2020 – Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA, OTC: BVNRY) today publishes a revised financial calendar for 2020 due to postponement of the annual general meeting, which was scheduled, but not yet convened, for April 21, 2020. The dates for announcement of the financial reports for the remainder of 2020 remain unchanged.

In light of the current COVID-19 situation, and the Danish Government’s decision to ban public gatherings of more than 10 people, Bavarian Nordic does not find it appropriate to conduct the annual general meeting under these conditions. Moreover, as the Company’s Articles of Association do not allow for conducting the general meeting electronically, the Board of Directors has decided to postpone the general meeting.

The postponement is being made in accordance with the executive order no. 223 of March 17, 2020 from the Danish Ministry of Health, under which the deadline for shareholder’s approval and the subsequent submission of annual reports for listed companies has been extended by eight weeks after the ban of public gatherings has been lifted.

Bavarian Nordic will convene for the annual general meeting once circumstances allow.

Financial calendar for 2020

* Pursuant to Article 12 of the Articles of Association, shareholders who wish to submit a request for proposals for consideration at the annual general meeting must lodge this with the Company no later than six weeks before the general meeting. Are requests made later than six weeks before the general meeting, the Board of Directors decides whether the proposals can be admitted to the agenda. As the date for the annual general meeting has not been set due to the COVID-19 situation, shareholders should submit request for proposals for consideration at the annual general meeting as soon as possible.
