(Nasdaq: CVAC, \u201cCureVac\u201d) and that the subsequent offering period (the \u201cSubsequent Offering Period\u201d) of the exchange offer (the \u201cOffer\u201d) for all outstanding shares of CureVac expired today at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. With the successful acquisition, BioNTech intends to further complement its capabilities and proprietary technologies in mRNA design, delivery formulations, and mRNA manufacturing. The acquisition builds on BioNTech\u2019s proven track record and established position in the global mRNA industry and supports the execution of the Company\u2019s oncology strategy which focuses on two pan-tumor programs: mRNA-based cancer immunotherapy candidates, and pumitamig (BNT327\/BMS986545), a bispecific antibody candidate targeting PD-L1 and VEGF-A, which is being jointly developed with Bristol Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY, \u201cBMS\u201d).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cI want to thank everyone who helped make this transaction a success. It deepens our mRNA technology platform and offers potential to expand the ways we can develop mRNA as a new therapeutic drug class,\u201d said <b>Prof. Ugur Sahin, M.D., <\/b><b>CEO and Co-Founder of BioNTech<\/b>. \u201cWith an approved mRNA product and multiple late-stage programs spanning distinct mechanisms of action, we are advancing a new generation of medicines aimed at delivering meaningful benefits for patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cWith this acquisition, the pioneering efforts of two of Germany\u2019s early mRNA firms are being brought together \u2013 a synergy of vision and technology. It is no coincidence that both originated in Germany, backed by dedicated long-term oriented family offices with an entrepreneurial spirit such as ATHOS KG and the dievini Hopp BioTech holding,\u201d said <b>Helmut Jeggle, Chairman of the BioNTech Supervisory Board<\/b>. \u201cThis transaction has significant potential to contribute to the country\u2019s innovation agenda to shape, not just follow, the next wave of innovation with global impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Following the closing of the acquisition, Prof. Ugur Sahin, M.D., Sierk Poetting, Ph.D., and Ram\u00f3n Zapata-Gomez will constitute the Management Board of CureVac SE as the former members of the CureVac SE Management Board voluntarily resigned from their positions. CureVac will maintain its existing organizational processes to ensure a seamless continuity of its business, while BioNTech will conclude the strategic, operational and scientific analyses required to define the future organizational and portfolio setup. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">BioNTech was informed by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the exchange agent for the Offer, that, as of the expiration time of the Subsequent Offering Period, a total of 195,341,219 CureVac shares, collectively representing approximately 86.75% of CureVac\u2019s issued and outstanding shares, were validly tendered in the Offer.
