Novavax And UK Health Security Agency End Disputes Over Vaccine Supply; Novavax To Refund $123.8M In Quarterly Installments Until 2027; First Payment Due November 30, 2024
On November 1, 2024, Novavax, Inc. (the "Company") and The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, acting as part of the Crown, through the UK Health Security Agency (the "Authority"), entered into a Termination and Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") and a Letter of Amendment to the Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement Amendment"), relating to the Amended and Restated SARS-COV-2 Vaccine Supply Agreement effective July 1, 2022 (the "Amended and Restated Supply Agreement") by and between the Company and the UK Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, acting on behalf of the Crown, settling the disputes regarding the Amended and Restated Supply Agreement and releasing both parties of all claims arising out of or connected with the Amended and Restated Supply Agreement.
2024年11月1日,生物-疫苗公司("公司")與負責健康和社會保障部等部門職責的英國衛生安全局("權威")簽訂了一份終止和和解協議("和解協議")以及一份和解協議的修正補充協議書("和解協議修正"),涉及自2022年7月1日生效的修改和重簽訂的SARS-COV-2疫苗供應協議("修改和重簽訂供應協議")。該協議是由公司與代表王室的英國工業、能源和產業策略部長之間達成的,解決了與修改和重簽訂供應協議有關的爭端,並解除了雙方就修改和重簽訂供應協議產生的或與此相關的所有索賠。
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Authority and the Company agreed to terminate the Amended and Restated Supply Agreement and to fully settle the outstanding amount under dispute related to upfront payments previously received by the Company from the Authority under the Amended and Restated Supply Agreement. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a refund of $123.8 million (the "Settlement Payment") to the Authority in equal quarterly installments of 10.3 million over a three year period, ending on June 30, 2027. The Settlement Payment amount includes a $11.3 million provision for interest over the period and may be avoided if the Company chooses to accelerate payments. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement Amendment, the Authority and the Company agreed to make the first quarterly installment payment due on November 30, 2024.
根據和解協議的條款,權威和公司同意終止修改和重簽訂的供應協議,並全額解決因公司此前根據修改和重簽訂供應協議從權威收到的預付款而存在爭議的未結金額。根據和解協議,公司同意向權威支付12380萬美元的退款("和解款項"),在爲期三年的時間內以1030萬美元的相等季度分期付款,到期日爲2027年6月30日。和解款項包括爲此期間提供的1130萬美元利息準備金,並且如果公司選擇加速支付則可以避免。根據和解協議修正的條款,權威和公司同意在2024年11月30日支付的第一個季度分期付款。
