Description of the Business Description of the Business
Moderna, Inc. (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, any of Moderna, we, us, our or the Company) is a biotechnology company pioneering a new class of medicines made of messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA medicines are designed to direct the body’s cells to produce intracellular, membrane or secreted proteins that have a therapeutic or preventive benefit with the potential to address a broad spectrum of diseases. Our platform builds on continuous advances in basic and applied mRNA science, delivery technology and manufacturing, providing us the capability to pursue in parallel a robust pipeline of new development candidates. We are developing therapeutics and vaccines for infectious diseases, immuno-oncology, rare diseases, autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular diseases, independently and with our strategic collaborators.

Our COVID-19 vaccines are marketed, where approved, under the name Spikevax. To date, we have developed three versions of our COVID-19 vaccine that have received regulatory authorizations or approvals in various jurisdictions: (1) our original vaccine targeting the SARS-CoV-2 ancestral strain (mRNA-1273), (2) our bivalent BA.1 Omicron-targeting vaccine (mRNA-1273.214) and (3) our bivalent BA.4/BA.5 Omicron-targeting vaccine (mRNA-1273.222). We currently sell mRNA-1273.214 and mRNA-1273.222 commercially.

We have a diverse and extensive development pipeline of 45 development candidates across our 47 development programs, of which 36 are in clinical studies currently.
