On August 21, 2022, NightHawk Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), executed a research and development license agreement with Lytic Solutions, LLC (“Lytic”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to fund a research program for development of a proprietary subunit monkeypox vaccine. The Company will own all monkeypox virus construct sequences conceived, developed or reduced to practice during and in the conduct of the research program. The proprietary Lytic platform that will be used to generate these monkeypox constructs has exhibited immunogenicity and vaccine success against other viral targets in non-human primates. These new constructs will be targeted against a series of proteins to formulate a polyclonal vaccine that best represents key viral proteins involved in the pathogenicity of monkeypox infection to address the potential monkeypox pandemic. The Company believes that this subunit approach offers advantages over attenuated viruses and other commercially approved options for pox virus which carry serious safety concerns.
