Bavarian Nordic Announces Sale of Priority Review Voucher for USD 160 Million

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June 18, 2025 – Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA) announced today that it has entered into an agreement to sell its Priority Review Voucher (PRV) for a total cash consideration of USD 160 million.

Bavarian Nordic was awarded the PRV in February 2025, following the approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of the chikungunya vaccine, VIMKUNYA™ for prevention of disease caused by chikungunya virus in people 12 years of age and older.

Pursuant to a license agreement assumed upon acquisition of the chikungunya vaccine in 2023, National Institutes of Health (NIH) will receive 20% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the PRV.

The proceeds will be recognized as other operating income and thus will not impact the guided revenue expectations for 2025. However, EBITDA will be positively impacted and any impact on the guided EBITDA margin of 26-30% for 2025 will be updated upon closing of the transaction.

The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including anti-trust review, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2025.

Jefferies LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to Bavarian Nordic on this transaction.
