ALTIMMUNE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

Altimmune, Inc., headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Altimmune”) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Company is focused on developing treatments for obesity and liver diseases. The Company’s lead product candidate, pemvidutide (formerly known as ALT-801), is a novel, investigational, peptide-based GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist in development for the treatment of obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”), previously termed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, and raising capital, and has financed its operations through the issuance of common and preferred stock, long-term debt, and proceeds from research grants and government contracts. The Company has not generated any revenues from the sale of any products to date, and there is no assurance of any future revenues from product sales.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024. In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and these consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year 2024 or any future years or periods.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s summary of significant accounting policies contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to,

6

Table of Contents

the valuation of share-based awards, income taxes, and accruals for research and development activities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. However, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Due to a full valuation allowance, the Company did not record an income tax expense (benefit) for either of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023. The Company calculates its quarterly income tax provision based on estimated, annual effective tax rates applied to ordinary income (or loss) and other known items computed and recognized as they occur. The Company’s total provision is based on the United States statutory rate, increased by state and foreign taxes and reduced by a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 consisted of the following (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of the unrealized losses on the Company’s short-term investments are a result of credit loss; therefore, any unrealized losses were recognized in OCI.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, accrued interest on short-term investments included in “Accounts and other receivables” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Separate disclosure is required for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis from those measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as property and equipment and intangible assets are recognized at fair value when they are impaired. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had no significant assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

4. Operating Leases

The Company’s operating lease for office and laboratory space in the United States was set to expire on April 30, 2025. On May 20, 2024, the Company exercised its one-time 60-month renewal option to renew its lease for an additional 60 months. As of May 1, 2024, the Company remeasured its lease liability and recorded $1.4 million additional lease liability and right-of-use asset using an updated incremental borrowing rate of 9.5%. The renewed lease has a term of 72 months and expires on April 30, 2030. The Company reassessed that the renewed lease remains an operating lease under Topic 842.

Rent expense under the Company’s operating leases was $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, rent expense under the Company’s operating leases was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Rent expense includes short-term leases and variable lease costs that are not included in the lease obligation.

Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related lease asset or liability for such leases.

The cash paid for operating lease liabilities for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $0.3 million.

9

Table of Contents

Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Common stockholders are not entitled to receive dividends, unless declared by the board of directors.

The Charter also authorizes the Company to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

At-the-Market Offerings

On February 28, 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2023 Agreement”) with Evercore Group L.L.C., JMP Securities LLC and B. Riley Securities, Inc., serving as sales agents (the “Sales Agents”), with respect to an at-the-market offerings program under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $150.0 million (the “Shares”) through the Sales Agents (the “2023 Offering”). All Shares offered and sold in the 2023 Offering will be issued pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023, which was declared effective immediately, the prospectus supplement relating to the 2023 Offering filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023, and any applicable additional prospectus supplements related to the 2023 Offering that form a part of the Registration Statement. The Company capitalized approximately $0.2 million of other offering costs which will offset the proceeds received from the shares sold under the 2023 Agreement. Since inception through June 30, 2024, the Company has sold 20,454,516 shares of common stock under the 2023 Agreement, resulting in approximately $86.6 million in proceeds, net of $2.8 million commission and other offering costs. No shares were sold under the 2023 Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and as of June 30, 2024, $60.6 million remained available to be sold under the 2023 Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, there was $0.1 million deferred offering costs included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Warrants

On March 5, 2024, warrant holders exercised 50,000 warrants with an exercise price of $3.21, resulting in the issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding warrants.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Omnibus Plan)

The Company’s Omnibus Plan provides for an annual increase on January 1 of each year, commencing in 2019 and ending on and including January 1, 2027, up to an amount equal to the lowest of (i) 4% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (ii) such number of shares of common stock, if any, determined by the Company’s board of directors. Accordingly, on January 1, 2024, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan increased by 3,055,006 shares of common stock.

Stock Options

The Company’s stock option awards generally vest over four years and typically have a contractual life of ten years. As of June 30, 2024, there was $19.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 1,566,575 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $9.32 and per share weighted average grant date fair value of $7.55.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 484,600 shares of RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $9.32 which vest over four years. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had unvested RSUs of 786,102 shares with total unrecognized compensation expense of $6.3 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 2.9 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 190,575 shares of unrestricted common stock as a result of the vesting of 286,165 RSUs net of 95,590 shares of common stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

Under the ESPP, employees purchased 62,609 shares for $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $1.0 million incremental stock-based compensation expense as a result of the modifications of stock awards upon termination of the former Chief Financial Officer. The modification changed the vesting conditions of the awards by accelerating the vesting of certain unvested awards that would have otherwise been forfeited upon termination. The incremental costs are included in the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss under general and administrative expense.

Stock-based compensation expense is classified in the unaudited consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 as follows (in thousands):

9. Net Loss Per Share

Because the Company has reported net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in each period are the same.

11

Table of Contents

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average numbers of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.

Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. As such, all unvested restricted stock, RSUs, common stock and stock options have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because such securities would have an anti-dilutive impact for all periods presented.

Potential common shares, issuable upon conversion, vesting, or exercise of unvested RSUs, common stock warrants, and stock options, that are excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, as they are anti-dilutive, are as follows:

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Spitfire Acquisition

In July 2019, the Company entered into the Spitfire merger agreement to acquire all of the equity interests of Spitfire Pharma, Inc. (“Spitfire”). Spitfire was a privately held, preclinical pharmaceutical company developing novel peptide products for pharmaceutical indications, including pemvidutide for the treatment of MASH. As part of the agreement, the Company is obligated to make payments of up to $80.0 million upon the achievement of specified worldwide net sales of all products developed using the technology acquired from Spitfire Pharma, Inc. (the “Sales Milestone”) within ten years following the approval of a new drug application filed with the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”).

Litigation

On May 6, 2024, a class action complaint was filed in federal district court in the District of Maryland, Southern Division, naming as defendants the Company and three of the Company’s executive officers, captioned Mogan v. Altimmune, Inc., et al., No. 24-cv-01315 (D. Md.) (the “Class Action”). The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, by making false and misleading statements and omissions of material fact to the investing public including the plaintiff and class members, who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock between December 1, 2023 and April 26, 2024. The plaintiff and class members seek to have the action maintained as a class action under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and for the defendants to pay damages, interest, and an award of costs, including attorneys’ fees. On June 14, 2024, the Court entered an order stating that defendants were not required to answer, move to dismiss, or otherwise respond to the initial complaint filed on May 6, 2024, and that within 14 days of the Court’s entry of an order appointing a lead plaintiff the parties are to confer and submit a proposed schedule to the court for the filing of an amended complaint (if any) and the filing of a motion to dismiss or other response to the amended complaint. A substantially similar complaint, captioned Campanile v. Altimmune, Inc., et al., No. 8:24-cv-01918 (D. Md.), was also filed in the same court by another plaintiff on July 1, 2024 against the Company and three of its executive officers, based upon the same general set of allegations and class period. On July 5, 2024, two movants moved to consolidate the two actions and to be appointed lead plaintiff. On July 12, 2024, these movants filed a stipulation and proposed order to consolidate the related actions, and to be appointed co-lead plaintiffs. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this class action litigation.

On June 4, 2024, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in federal district court in the District of Delaware, purportedly on behalf of the Company, naming as defendants three of the Company’s executive officers and eight of the Company’s board members, captioned Stourbridge Investments LLC v. Garg, et al., No. 1:24-cv-669-GBW (D. Del.). The complaint is based upon allegations that are similar to those alleged in the Class Action and alleges claims for contribution,

breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets based on the defendants purportedly making or causing to be made false and misleading statements and omissions of material fact between December 1, 2023 and April 26, 2024. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary relief, exemplary damages, restitution, contribution, and costs, as well as equitable relief. A similar shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the same court by another plaintiff on July 1, 2024, based upon substantially similar allegations, and alleges claims for contribution, breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. The complaint, captioned Alaraidah v. Garg, et al., No. 1:24-cv-00772-GBW (D. Del.), seeks unspecified monetary relief, restitution, costs, and equitable relief. These actions were consolidated on July 18, 2024 into case no. 1:24-cv-669-GBW (the “Derivative Action”). The Company intends to vigorously defend against the Derivative Action.

The Company is a party in various contracts and subject to disputes, litigation, and potential claims arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently reasonably possible or probable of material loss.

Overview

Altimmune, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing treatments for obesity and liver diseases. Our lead product candidate, pemvidutide (formerly known as ALT-801), is a novel, investigational, peptide-based GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist in development for the treatment of obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”), previously termed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). Except where the context indicates otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Altimmune”, or the “Company” refer to the company and its subsidiaries.

Recent Business Update

Pemvidutide

On June 23, 2024, we presented the full results of the body composition analysis from our 48-week MOMENTUM Phase 2 obesity trial of pemvidutide at the American Diabetes Association’s 84th Annual Scientific Sessions. The body composition analysis showed that 78.1% of weight loss was derived from adipose tissue and only 21.9% from lean mass. Historically, lean mass loss has been shown to be approximately 25% from diet and exercise programs.

As announced on November 30, 2023, the trial enrolled 391 subjects with obesity or overweight with at least one co-morbidity and without diabetes. Subjects were randomized 1:1:1:1 to 1.2 mg, 1.8 mg, 2.4 mg pemvidutide or placebo administered weekly for 48 weeks in conjunction with diet and exercise. The 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg doses were administered without dose titration, while a short 4-week titration period was employed for the 2.4 mg dose. At baseline, subjects had a mean age of approximately 50 years, mean body mass index (BMI) of approximately 37 kg/m2, and mean body weight of approximately 104 kg. Approximately 75% of subjects were female.

HepTcell

On March 27, 2024, we announced that the overall response in the Phase 2 trial was deemed to be insufficient to warrant further advancement in clinical trials. As a result, any further development related to HepTcell has been stopped.

Revenue

We have not generated any revenues from the sale of any products to date. Our revenues in previous years consisted primarily of government and foundation grants and contracts that supported our efforts on specific research projects. We recently closed out one of the remaining such contracts, and any revenues reported during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were for the final indirect rate adjustments.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses consisted primarily of expenses related to product candidate development. Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are summarized as follows:

The increase in research and development expenses for pemvidutide was primarily due to an $8.7 million increase related to the ramp up of the IMPACT Phase 2b trial in MASH, a $0.2 million increase for other clinical analysis and a $1.5 million increase in net manufacturing expenses for production of Good Manufacturing Practice drug substance materials. These increases were partially offset by a $1.9 million reduction in expense associated with the MOMENTUM Phase 2 trial in obesity, which was ongoing during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and wound down in the year ended December 31, 2023, and a $0.3 million reduction in expenses associated with Phase 1 safety trial which was substantially completed in 2023.

15

Table of Contents

The decrease in research and development expenses for HepTcell was primarily due to the winddown and completion of the in-life portion of the Phase 2 trial in 2023. The research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were due to program winddown activities. In the coming months, we expect to have some additional wrap up costs as we finalize these activities.

The increase in other non-project specific research and development expenses was primarily due to a $0.5 million initial cost for a new research and discovery project.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 18%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in stock compensation and other labor related expense, including the $1.0 million incremental stock-based compensation expense because of modifications of stock awards (see Note 8).

Total other income (expense), net

Total other income (expense), net increased by $0.2 million, or 8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The net increase is primarily due to a $0.3 million increase in interest income earned on our cash equivalents and short-term investments.

The increase in research and development expenses for pemvidutide was primarily due to a $16.3 million increase related to the ramp up of the IMPACT Phase 2b trial in MASH, a $0.7 million increase for other clinical analysis, a $2.3 million increase in net manufacturing expenses for production of Good Manufacturing Practice drug substance materials, and a $1.1 million increase in nonclinical studies. These increases were partially offset by a $5.7 million reduction in expense associated with the MOMENTUM Phase 2 trial in obesity, which was ongoing during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and wound down in the year ended December 31, 2023, and a $1.7 million reduction in expenses associated with the metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (“MASLD”) trials and a $0.7 million reduction in expenses associated with Phase 1 safety trials, both of which were substantially completed in 2023.

The decrease in research and development expenses for HepTcell was primarily due to the winddown and completion of the in-life portion of the Phase 2 trial in 2023. The research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were due to program winddown activities.

The increase in other non-project specific research and development expenses was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in stock compensation expense and a $0.5 million initial cost for a new research and discovery project.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.6 million, or 17%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in stock compensation and other labor related expense, including the $1.0 million incremental stock-based compensation expense because of modifications of stock awards (see Note 8).

Total other income (expense), net

Total other income (expense), net increased by $0.9 million, or 24%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net increase is primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in interest income earned on our cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2024 were from equity transactions, interest and dividends from our money market funds and short-term investments, and proceeds from maturities of our short-term investments. Our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments were $164.9 million as of June 30, 2024. We believe, based on the operating cash requirements and capital expenditures expected for 2024 and 2025, our cash on hand as of June 30, 2024, together with expected cash receipts from our R&D incentives, is sufficient to fund operations for at least a twelve-month period from the issuance date of our June 30, 2024 consolidated financial statements.

17

Table of Contents

We have not generated any revenues from the sale of any products to date, and there is no assurance of any future revenues from product sales. We have incurred significant losses since we commenced operations. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $515.4 million. In addition, we have not generated positive cash flows from operations. We have had to rely on a variety of financing sources, including the issuance of debt and equity securities. As capital resources are consumed to fund our research and development activities, we may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts. In order to address our capital needs, including our planned clinical trials, we must continue to actively pursue additional equity or debt financing, government funding, and monetization of our existing programs through partnership arrangements or sales to third parties.

Sources of Liquidity

Shelf Registrations

On February 28, 2023, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR, which was declared effective immediately. This shelf registration allows us to offer and sell any amount of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and units (the “2023 Shelf”) for a period of 3 years from effectiveness.

At-the-Market Offerings

On February 28, 2023, we entered into the 2023 Agreement with Sales Agents with respect to an at-the-market offerings program under which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, the Shares through the Sales Agents from the 2023 Shelf. Since inception through June 30, 2024, we have sold 20,454,516 shares of common stock under the 2023 Agreement, resulting in approximately $86.6 million in net proceeds. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we did not sell any shares of common stock under the 2023 Agreement, and as of June 30, 2024, $60.6 million remained available to be sold under the 2023 Shelf.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $38.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The primary uses of cash from our operating activities include payments for labor and labor-related costs, professional fees, research and development costs associated with our clinical trials, and other general corporate expenditures. The decrease in cash used in operations of $4.3 million year over year is due to changes in working capital accounts of $15.5 million, partially offset by an increase in net loss as adjusted for non-cash items of $11.2 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $17.3 million net cash provided by during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to purchases of $76.7 million of short-term investments, partially offset by $33.5 million proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investments. The net cash provided by investing

Table of Contents

activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to $60.6 million proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investments, partially offset by $43.2 million purchases of short-term investments.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.3 million compared to $12.8 million cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to $0.8 million net payments for tax withholding obligations related to share-based compensation, partially offset by $0.2 million in proceeds from the employee stock purchase plan, $0.2 million proceeds from exercises of stock options, and $0.2 million proceeds from exercises of stock warrants. The net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily the result of the receipt of $13.2 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock from our at-the-market offerings program, partially offset by $0.5 million net payments for tax withholding obligations related to share-based compensation.

Current Resources

We have financed our operations to date principally through our equity offerings and proceeds from issuances of our preferred stock, common stock, and warrants. As of June 30, 2024, we had $57.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, and $107.8 million of short-term investments. Accordingly, management believes that we have sufficient capital to fund our plan of operations for at least a twelve-month period from the issuance date of our June 30, 2024 financial statements. However, in order to address our capital needs in the long-term, including our planned clinical trials, we must continue to actively pursue additional equity or debt financing, government funding, and monetization of our existing programs through partnership arrangements or sales to third parties.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and expectations of what could occur in the future given available information.

There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and significant judgment and estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

19

Table of Contents

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 identified in connection with the evaluation thereof by our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On May 6, 2024, a class action complaint was filed in federal district court in the District of Maryland, Southern Division, naming as defendants us and three of our executive officers, captioned Mogan v. Altimmune, Inc., et al., No. 24-cv-01315 (D. Md.) (the “Class Action”). The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, by making false and misleading statements and omissions of material fact to the investing public including the plaintiff and class members, who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock between December 1, 2023 and April 26, 2024. The plaintiff and class members seek to have the action maintained as a class action under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and for the defendants to pay damages, interest, and an award of costs, including attorneys’ fees. On June 14, 2024, the Court entered an order stating that defendants were not required to answer, move to dismiss, or otherwise respond to the initial complaint filed on May 6, 2024, and that within 14 days of the Court’s entry of an order appointing a lead plaintiff the parties are to confer and submit a proposed schedule to the court for the filing of an amended complaint (if any) and the filing of a motion to dismiss or other response to the amended complaint. A substantially similar complaint, captioned Campanile v. Altimmune, Inc., et al., No. 8:24-cv-01918 (D. Md.), was also filed in the same court by another plaintiff on July 1, 2024 against the Company and three of its executive officers, based upon the same general set of allegations and class period. On July 5, 2024, two movants moved to consolidate the two actions and to be appointed lead plaintiff. On July 12, 2024, these movants filed a stipulation and proposed order to consolidate the related actions, and to be appointed co-lead plaintiffs. We intend to vigorously defend against this class action litigation.

On June 4, 2024, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in federal district court in the District of Delaware, purportedly on behalf of us, naming as defendants three of our executive officers and eight of our board members, captioned Stourbridge Investments LLC v. Garg, et al., No. 1:24-cv-669-GBW (D. Del.). The complaint is based upon allegations that are similar to those alleged in the Class Action and alleges claims for contribution, breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets based on the defendants purportedly making or causing to be made false and misleading statements and omissions of material fact between December 1, 2023 and April 26, 2024. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary relief, exemplary damages, restitution, contribution, and costs, as well as equitable relief. A similar shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the same court by another plaintiff on July 1, 2024, based upon substantially similar allegations, and alleges claims for contribution, breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. The complaint, captioned Alaraidah v. Garg, et al., No. 1:24-cv-00772-GBW (D. Del.), seeks unspecified monetary relief, restitution, costs, and equitable relief. These actions were consolidated on July 18, 2024 into case no. 1:24-cv-669-GBW (the “Derivative Action”). We intend to vigorously defend against the Derivative Action.

From time to time, we may be involved in various legal proceedings or investigations, which could be costly and impose a significant burden on management and employees. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
