Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
|
On September 5, 2025, Vaxart, Inc. (the “Company”) convened the Company’s special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). Proxies had been submitted by stockholders representing approximately 64.25% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, which constituted a quorum.
The proposal listed in the proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 6, 2025, for the Special Meeting was not voted on at the Special Meeting because the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) believes that it is important to provide stockholders additional time within which to vote, and therefore the Company adjourned the Special Meeting.
The reconvened Special Meeting will be held on Friday, September 19, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time through live webcast of the meeting, as described on the Proxy Statement and proxy card or in the instructions that accompanied the proxy materials to the Company’s stockholders.
During the period of the adjournment, the Company will continue to solicit votes from its stockholders with respect to the proposal for the Special Meeting. Stockholders who have already voted do not need to recast their votes. Proxies previously submitted in respect of the Special Meeting will be voted at the adjourned Special Meeting unless properly revoked in accordance with the procedures described in the Proxy Statement.
The close of business on July 29, 2025 will continue to be the record date for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) which relate to other than strictly historical facts, such as statements about the Company’s plans and strategies are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date of this Form 8-K. Investors are cautioned that such statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical or anticipated results due to many factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s continuing operating losses, uncertainty of market acceptance, reliance on third party manufacturers, accumulated deficit, future capital needs, uncertainty of capital funding, dependence on limited product line and distribution channels, competition, limited marketing and manufacturing experience, and other risks detailed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the Special Meeting of stockholders, the Company filed with the SEC a definitive Proxy Statement which was mailed to the Company’s stockholders as of the record date for the Special Meeting of stockholders. STOCKHOLDERS AND OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT, AS WELL AS ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO, BECAUSE IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE MATTERS BEFORE THE STOCKHOLDERS AT THE SPECIAL MEETING. The Company’s stockholders may also obtain copies of the Proxy Statement and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Special Meeting, without charge, at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Vaxart, Inc., 170 Harbor Way, Suite 300, South San Francisco, California.
Participants in the Solicitation
The Company and certain of its respective directors, executive officers, and other members of management and employees may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Special Meeting. STOCKHOLDERS AND OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS MAY OBTAIN, WITHOUT CHARGE, MORE DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING THE DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY IN ITS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, WHICH WAS FILED WITH THE SEC ON MARCH 20, 2025.
