Note 9 – Grants

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

In support of the Company's development of ResVax, in September 2015, the Company entered into the grant agreement with BMGF (the “Grant Agreement”), under which it was awarded a grant totaling up to $89.1 million (the “Grant”). The Grant supports development activities, including the Company's global Phase 3 clinical trial in pregnant women in their third trimester, product licensing efforts and efforts to obtain WHO prequalification of ResVax. Unless terminated earlier by BMGF, the Grant Agreement will continue in effect until the end of 2021. The Company concurrently entered into a Global Access Commitments Agreement (“GACA”) with BMGF as a part of the Grant Agreement. Under the terms of the GACA, among other things, the Company agreed to make a certain amount of ResVax available and accessible at affordable pricing to people in certain low- and middle-income countries. Unless terminated earlier by BMGF, the GACA will continue in effect until the later of 15 years from its effective date, or 10 years after the first sale of a product under defined circumstances. The term of the GACA may be extended in certain circumstances, by a period of up to five additional years.

Payments received in advance that are related to future performance are deferred and recognized as revenue when the research and development activities are performed. Cash payments received under the Grant Agreement are restricted as to their use until expenditures contemplated in the Grant Agreement are incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenue from the Grant of $0.3 million and has recognized approximately $82 million in revenue since the inception of the agreement.

Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations

In March 2020, the Company was awarded a grant of $3.9 million from the CEPI to facilitate its development of a COVID-19 vaccine in preparation for potential future clinical trials. The grant continues in effect until the activities contemplated under the funding agreement between CEPI and the Company are completed. Payments received in advance that are related to future performance are deferred and recognized as revenue when the research and development activities are performed. Cash payments received under this grant are restricted as to their use until expenditures contemplated in the funding agreement are incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenue under this grant of $2.3 million.

In May 2020, CEPI and the Company signed a restated funding agreement under which CEPI provides for funding of up to $384.5 million in addition to the $3.9 million of funding it provided in the original funding agreement. CEPI funding is to be used by the Company for the development of NVX-CoV2373.

At March 31, 2020, the Company's current restricted cash and deferred revenue balances on the consolidated balance sheet include its estimate of costs to be reimbursed and revenue to be recognized, respectively, in the next twelve months under the Grant Agreement and CEPI grant.
