Introduction

Our employees,

officers,

directors,

and

consultants

and

advisors

and

our

affiliates

were eligible

receive

awards

under our

2021

Stock Option

Plan.

In connection

with our

initial public

offering,

our

Board

and

our

stockholders

approved

the

2021

Omnibus

Plan,

pursuant

which

equity-based

and

cash

incentive

awards

may

granted

current, former

or prospective

directors, officers,

employees and

consultants.

Our 2021

Omnibus Plan

replaced

our

2021 Stock

Option Plan,

as our

Board has

determined not

to make

additional awards

under our

2021 Stock

Option

Plan following the effectiveness of our 2021

Omnibus Plan.

However, the terms of our 2021 Stock Option Plan continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder,

including the

Eligible

Employee

Options

granted

under the

2021

Stock Option

Plan. The

terms of

the 2021

Stock

Option

Plan

also

govern

certain

agreements

with

the

Founders

relating

options

purchase

Class

Common Stock, which options are Eligible Options. Under the terms of the 2021

Stock Option Plan, a repricing may

approved

by our

Board

(or

committee

our

Board

under

delegated

authority).

Accordingly,

stockholder

approval was required for the repricing of 1,938,544 Eligible Employee Options to purchase Class

A Common Stock

granted

employees,

including

certain

executive

officers,

and

consultants

under

the 2021

Stock Option

Plan

and

6,362,455 Eligible Options

to purchase Class B

Common Stock granted to

the Founders under agreements

governed

by the 2021 Stock Option Plan.

The

Company

has

granted

stock

options

under

the

Plans

consistent

with

the

view

that

stock-based

incentive

compensation

opportunities

play

key

role

the

Company’s

ability

recruit,

motivate

and

retain

qualified

individuals. The Company

believes that equity

compensation encourages employees

to work toward

the Company’s

success and aligns their interests with those of

the Company’s stockholders by providing them with a means by which

they can benefit from increasing the value of the Company’s

stock.

Over

the

past

two

years,

the

price

the

Class

Common

Stock

has

declined

significantly,

and

the

Repricing

Date,

nearly

all

the

stock

options

held

Company

employees,

officers

and

consultants

were

“underwater,”

with exercise prices well above the

current market price of the Company’s Class A common stock. The

Eligible Options previously had exercise prices ranging from $0.85 to $13.00 per share. As of the Repricing Date, the

closing price of our Class A Common Stock was $0.70

per share, whereas the weighted average exercise price

of the

Eligible Options was $7.64 per share. The weighted average exercise price of the Eligible Employee

Options granted

under the

2021 Omnibus

Plan

was $3.79

per share.

The weighted

average exercise

price of

the Eligible

Employee

Options to purchase Class A Common Stock under the 2021 Stock Plan was $3.21 per share and the exercise price of

the Eligible Options to

purchase Class B

Common Stock was

$10.07 per share.

Although the Company continues

believe

that

stock

options

are

important

component

the

Company’s

compensation

program,

prior

the

Repricing, the underwater stock options may have been perceived by their holders as having little or no incentive and

retention effect due to the difference between the former exercise

prices and the then-current stock price.

The Special Committee approved the Repricing after multiple meetings, careful consideration of various alternatives,

a review of other applicable factors and with the advice of the Company’s independent compensation consultant. The

Special

Committee

designed

the

Repricing,

with

the

original

exercise

price

applicable

the

Eligible

Employee

Options during the Retention Period, and the extended holding period and determination not to make annual grants to

the Founders

in 2024

and 2025,

in each

case as

described in

detail below,

to provide

added incentive

to retain

and

motivate the

Company’s

employees and

Founders to

continue to

work in

the best

interests of

the Company

and its

stockholders

without

incurring

the

stock

dilution

resulting

from

significant

additional

equity

grants

significant

additional cash expenditures resulting from additional cash compensation.

Summary of the Material Terms

of the Repricing

The Repricing generally applied to (a) the Eligible Employee Options and (b)

the Class B Options.

Pursuant

the Repricing,

of the

Repricing

Date,

the Eligible

Options

were immediately

repriced

such that

the

exercise price

per share

for such

options was

reduced to

$0.70, the

closing price

of Class

A Common

Stock on

the

Nasdaq Global Market on the most recent trading day preceding the Repricing Date, subject

to the retention and other

requirements outlined below and, in the case of Eligible Employee

Options issued under the 2021 Omnibus Plan, the

expiration of the 20-day period following the filing of this Information Statement.

Holders of

the Eligible

Employee Options

may not

exercise the

Eligible Employee

Options at

the reduced

exercise

price

until

the

end

“Retention

Period”

that

begins

the

Repricing

Date

and

ends

the

earlier

of:

(a)

December 31, 2024 and (b)

a Change of Control, as defined

in the 2021 Omnibus Plan. If

an employee or consultant

exercises an Eligible Employee

Option prior to the

end of the Retention Period,

such employee or consultant

will be

required

to pay

premium

exercise

price

equal to

the original

exercise

price

per share

of such

Eligible

Employee

Option.

Options subject to the Repricing held by the Founders will be exercisable in accordance with their terms and

Class

common

stock

acquired

upon

exercise

such

options

will

subject

lock-up

restriction

prohibiting sales for a

period of two years

from the Repricing Date.

In addition, the Founders

will not be eligible

receive annual equity grants in 2024 and 2025.

Participation in the Repricing was not voluntary or discretionary.

Accordingly, the exercise price of each outstanding

Eligible Option was automatically amended, without any action required by the holder

thereof.

As of March 10, 2024, an

aggregate of 5,113,654 stock options to

purchase shares of our Class

A Common Stock with

a weighted average exercise

price of $3.24 per

share were outstanding under

the 2021 Omnibus Plan

and held by 61

employees, consultants and

directors. Of these options,

1,938,544 (approximately 37.9

%) held by 46

employees and

consultants,

were Eligible

Employee Options

and were

eligible for

amendment pursuant

to the

2021 Omnibus

Plan

Repricing. These Eligible

Employee Options previously

had exercise prices

ranging from $0.85

to $13.00 per share,

with a weighted

average exercise price

of $3.79 per

share and a

weighted average remaining

term of 8.8

years as of

the Repricing Date. No additional stock options were granted by the Company in connection

with the Repricing.

Except

for

the

reduction

the

exercise

price

the

outstanding

Eligible

Employee

Options

described

above,

all

outstanding stock options under the 2021 Omnibus Plan will continue to remain outstanding in accordance with all of

the current terms and

conditions set forth in

the 2021 Omnibus

Plan and the applicable

award agreements including,

without limitation, the number of shares subject to such options, vesting schedule and expiration

date.

Accounting Treatment

of the Repricing

Under Financial Accounting

Standards Codification Topic

718, the Company

recognized

incremental compensation

cost of $1.8 million associated with the Repricing,

$0.3 million of which was associated with the 2021 Omnibus Plan

Repricing.

The incremental

compensation cost

was measured

as the

excess, if

any,

of the

fair value

of the

Eligible

Options

immediately

following

the

Repricing

over

the

fair

value

the

Eligible

Options

immediately

prior

the

Repricing.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax

Consequences

The following discussion is intended only as

a general summary of the material U.S.

federal income tax consequences

the

2021

Omnibus

Plan

Repricing,

based

upon

the

provisions

the

U.S.

Internal

Revenue

Code

1986,

amended (the “Code”), as

of the date of this

Information Statement. It

is not intended as

tax guidance to participants

in the

2021 Omnibus Plan.

This summary does

not take into

account certain circumstances

that may change

the income

tax treatment of awards for individual participants, and it does not describe

the consequences under any other federal

tax

law

(such

employment

taxes),

state

income

tax

consequences

any

award

the

taxation

awards

jurisdictions outside

of the United

States. All of

the outstanding

Eligible Employee

Options granted

under the 2021

Omnibus Plan are nonqualified stock options.

For income tax purposes, the repricing of an option is treated

as the grant of a new option on the effective date

of the

repricing. The grant of a stock

option generally has no income tax consequences

for a participant or the Company.

participant usually recognizes

ordinary income upon

the exercise

of a

nonqualified stock option

equal to

the fair

market

value of the shares

minus the exercise price,

if applicable. We

should generally be entitled

to a deduction for

federal

income tax purposes equal to

the amount of ordinary income

recognized by the participant

as a result of the exercise

of a

nonqualified stock

option. However,

the Code

denies publicly

held corporations

a deduction

for compensation

that is in

excess of $1,000,000 paid

to the corporation’s chief executive

officer, chief financial officer and certain

other

current and former executive officers in a year.

Any disposition of shares acquired

under a nonqualified stock option

will generally result only in capital gain or

loss

for the participant, which may be short- or long-term, depending upon the length of

time such shares are held.

Section 409A

of the Code

provides special tax

rules applicable to

programs that

provide for a

deferral of

compensation.

Failure to comply with

those requirements will

result in accelerated

recognition of U.S. federal

income tax purposes

along with

an additional

tax equal

to 20%

of the

amount included

in U.S.

federal income,

and interest

on deemed

underpayments

certain

circumstances.

While

certain

awards

under

the

2021

Omnibus

Plan

could

subject

Section 409A, the

2021 Omnibus Plan

and awards are

intended to comply

with or be

exempt from the

requirements

of Section 409A, where applicable.

Beneficial ownership is determined

according to the rules

of the SEC,

which generally provide that a

person has beneficial ownership

of a

security if he,

she or it

possesses sole

or shared voting

or investment power

over that security. Under

those rules, beneficial

ownership includes

securities that

the individual

or entity

has the

right to

acquire, such

as through

the exercise of

warrants or

stock options

or the

vesting of

restricted stock

units within

60 days.

Shares subject

to warrants

or options

that are

currently exercisable or

exercisable within

60 days

restricted stock units that

vest within 60 days

are considered outstanding and

beneficially owned by

the person holding such warrants,

options

or restricted stock

units for the

purpose of computing

the percentage

ownership of that

person but are

not treated as

outstanding for the

purpose

of computing the percentage ownership of any other

person.

Mr. Reese was granted

150,594 options in lieu of salary for

the fiscal year ended

December 31, 2023. The amounts reported here represent

the

grant

date

fair

value

stock

options,

calculated

accordance

with

Accounting

Standards

Update

718,

“Compensation—Stock

Compensation (Topic 718).” For additional information, see Notes 2 and 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual

Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). The assumptions used in

calculating the grant date fair

value of the

stock options reported

in this table

are set forth

in the section

of the Annual

Report titled “Management’s

Discussion and Analysis

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Critical Accounting

Policies and Estimates—Stock-Based Compensation.”

Ms. Ray joined the Company on October 1, 2023. For

2023, Ms. Ray’s salary reflects a partial year of employment.

Dr. Palm resigned from the Company effective September 30, 2023.

For 2023, his salary represents payment from January 1, 2023 through

that date.

Mr. Paula

resigned from the Company effective

November 3, 2023. For 2023, his

salary represents payment from January 1,

2023 through

that date.

(2)

The amount shown in this column for Ms. Ray reflects

the discretionary portion of her 2023 bonus, as described

under “—Bonuses” below.

Ms. Hu and Mr. Reese did not receive bonuses with respect

to services performed for the fiscal year

ended December 31, 2023 because prior

to the board of directors or compensation committee determining any

bonuses for that year they informed the compensation committee

that

they would decline any bonus the committee might otherwise

choose to award.

Ms. Hu was granted 73,928 options in

lieu of a cash bonus with respect to performance

during the fiscal year ended December

31, 2022. The

amounts reported here represent the grant date fair value of such stock options, calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Update

718,

“Compensation—Stock Compensation

(Topic

718).”

For additional

information,

see

Notes

and

our

consolidated

financial

statements included in the Annual Report. The assumptions used in calculating the

grant date fair value of the stock options reported in this

table are set forth in

the section of the Annual Report

titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of

Operations— Critical Accounting Policies and

Estimates—Stock-Based Compensation.”

The amount reported has

been amended to reflect

the correction of an error in the calculation of grant date fair value reported in the Company’s definitive proxy statement relating to its 2023

annual meeting of stockholders.

Dr. Palm’s and Mr. Paula’s discretionary bonuses for services performed in 2022

were paid in 2023. Dr. Palm elected

to defer payment of his

2022 bonus in return for the opportunity

to receive either (a) 1.25 times such amount

in the event certain corporate milestones were

achieved

in 2023 or (b) .75 times such amount in the event such

milestones were not achieved. Because Dr. Palm left the Company before the end

2023, he was

paid .75 times

the amount of

the discretionary bonus

he earned for 2022,

or $101,250, rather

than the full

$135,000 discretionary

bonus he earned for his services performed in 2022.

The amounts reported here represent the grant

date fair value of stock

options, calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Update

718,

“Compensation—Stock Compensation

For Ms. Hu and Mr. Reese the amounts shown represent the aggregate incremental cost of personal use

of our corporate airplane. Aggregate

incremental cost was

determined by taking

the variable costs

to the Company

of owning and

operating the corporate

airplane in 2023

and

2022, as applicable,

and multiplying

it by a

fraction which

represents the

portion of the

usage of the

airplane in

those years that

was determined

to be personal use by

Ms. Hu and Mr.

Reese.

Occasionally family members of Ms. Hu

and Mr. Reese have

accompanied them on business

travel on our corporate airplane, for which we incurred

de minimis

incremental costs.

For Ms. Ray, the amounts shown represent the

Company’s matching contributions to a 401(k) plan.

For Mr. Paula, the amounts

shown represent the Company’s matching contributions to

a retirement 401(k)

plan and fees paid

to Mr. Paula pursuant to

his consulting arrangement

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

The following describes

the material elements

of our compensation

program for the

fiscal year ended

December 31,

2023

as applicable to

our NEOs and

reflected in the

Summary Compensation

Table

above. We

continue to evaluate

our executive compensation program with the goal of aligning executive compensation with stockholder interests. As

result

this

evaluation,

expect

make

changes

further

enhance

our

compensation

practices,

and

future

changes may differ in several respects from our historical program as described

herein.

Base Salary

We use base salaries to

recognize the experience,

skills, knowledge and

responsibilities required for all

our employees,

including our NEOs. Base salaries are determined based on the individual’s responsibilities, performance, experience

and what we determine

is appropriate and

necessary to retain key talent,

taking into consideration

the other forms of

compensation we provide.

During 2023

and

2022,

Ms. Hu’s

base

salary

was $400,000.

Ms.

Hu waived

her base

salary beginning

October 1,

2023. Mr.

Reese elected to receive

a grant of options

in lieu of his

base salary for 2023.

Ms. Ray’s

base salary is set

forth in her offer letter, and was $430,000 in 2023, increasing to $450,000 on January 1, 2024. Dr. Palm

’s base salary

was $450,000 in

2023 and 2022.

Dr. Palm resigned from

the Company on

September 30, 2023. Mr. Paula’s base salary

is set forth

in his offer

letter, described

in more detail

below,

and was $375,000

in 2023 and

$370,000 in

2022.

Mr.

Paula resigned

from the

Company on

November 5, 2023

and has been

retained as

a consultant

through October 31,

2024. Mr. Paula’s

consulting agreement is described below.

Bonuses

None of our NEOs is contractually entitled to an annual bonus or other annual incentive compensation,

however, Ms.

Ray is, and Dr. Palm and Mr. Paula

were,

eligible for an annual cash bonus targeted at 40% of base salary under their

offer letters.

In connection

with their

departures, Dr.

Palm and

Mr.

Paula were

not, however,

eligible to

receive an

annual cash bonus for 2023.

Ms. Ray’s

2023 bonus

opportunity was

prorated for

the portion

of the

year she was

employed by

the Company

and

was subject to

the Company’s achievement of five

equally-weighted corporate goals consisting of

one regulatory goal,

two clinical goals, one

intellectual property development goal and one

corporate culture goal.

The regulatory goal was

not achieved; the two clinical goals were partially achieved; the intellectual property development goal was achieved;

and

the

corporate

culture

goal

was

achieved.

Based

the

foregoing

achievement,

the

Compensation

Committee

approved the funding

of the corporate

bonus pool at

65% of target.

The Compensation

Committee further

exercised

its discretion

to approve

funding at

an additional

10% of

target and

delegated authority

to the

Company’s

CEO to

allocate such additional funding to the bonus pool participants in her discretion. Ms. Ray received a payout of 75% of

her target bonus amount,

or $32,250 (65% of target

based on the Company’s

achievement of the corporate

goals and

additional

10%

allocated

Ms.

Ray

the

CEO’s

discretion).

The

portion

this

amount

attributable

the

achievement

the

corporate

goals

set

forth

the

“Non-Equity

Incentive

Plan

Compensation”

column

the

Summary Compensation Table

and the portion of this amount awarded to Ms. Ray in the discretion of the CEO is set

forth in the “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table

Prior to the

board of directors

or the compensation

committee awarding

them any cash

bonus for 2023,

Ms. Hu and

Mr. Reese informed the

compensation committee that they

would decline any

cash bonus the

compensation committee

might choose to award.

Employee Benefits and Perquisites

Our NEOs are eligible to participate

in our health and welfare plans

allowed

our CEO

and Executive

Chairman to have limited use of the corporate plane for personal travel, the costs of which were considered as part

their overall compensation package from the

Company and are disclosed in the Summary

Compensation Table above.

that provides eligible

U.S. employees with

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our board

of directors has

approved a

policy providing for

annual non-employee

director compensation.

Under this

policy, each non-employee director is eligible to receive cash and equity

compensation for their services on our Board

of Directors. Mei Mei Hu, our President and Chief

Executive Officer, and

Louis Reese, our Executive Chairman, are

also members of the board of directors, but they did not receive any additional compensation for service as a director.

Peter

Powchik, MD

was both

member of

the board

of directors

and

Executive Vice

President,

Global

Scientific

Director from

October 1, 2023

through December 31,

2023 but

he did

not receive

any additional

compensation for

service as

a director

during this

period. In

addition, in

connection with

his becoming

an employee

of the

Company

and receiving

equity awards

in his

capacity as

an employee,

Dr.

Powchik forfeited

a portion

of his

annual director

equity award

for 2023.

The compensation

earned by

or paid

to Dr.

Powchik in

his capacity

as an

employee of

the

Company is set forth

in the “All Other

Compensation” column of the

2023 Director Compensation

table below.

The

compensation earned by or paid to Ms. Hu and Mr. Reese as named executive officers of Vaxxinity for the fiscal year

ended December 31, 2023

is set forth in this

item above under

“Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation

Table.”

Each

non-employee

director

is entitled

receive

an annual

retainer

of $40,000,

payable

quarterly in

arrears.

Any

independent director who joins or vacates the board of directors mid-year will receive a prorated annual cash retainer

during the

director’s

year of

service. In

addition, the

lead independent

director of

the board

of directors,

committee

chairs and committee

members are entitled

to receive the

following additional annual

retainers, payable

quarterly in

arrears:

●

$25,000 for the lead independent director;

●

$20,000 for the chair of the audit committee;

●

$15,000 for the chair of the compensation committee;

●

$10,000 for the chair of the nominating and governance committee;

●

$10,000 for each other member of the audit committee;

●

$7,500 for each other member of the compensation committee; and

●

$5,000 for each other member of the nominating and governance committee.

Some of the

directors serving on the

board of directors in

2023 voluntarily agreed to

waive their rights

to cash retainers

for a portion of their service during 2023 (see “2023 Director Compensation” table below).

Each non-employee director continuing in service after each

of our annual stockholder meetings will automatically be

granted a number of stock options to purchase shares of our Class A common stock determined by dividing $270,000

by the 50-day moving average price of our Class

A common stock. Such annual grants will vest on the earliest

of (1)

the one-year anniversary of the

grant date (or applicable

service start date for any

director appointed between annual

stockholder meetings), (2) the following year’s annual stockholder meeting, and (3) a “change of control”

(as defined

in the 2021 Omnibus Plan),

in each case, subject to

such non-employee director’s

continued service in such capacity

through the vesting date.

intend to

periodically evaluate

the terms

of compensation

of our

non-employee directors

as part

of our

regular

review of our overall compensation strategy.

Stock options granted to our

non-employee directors under the program have

an exercise price equal to

the fair market

value of our common stock on the date of grant and expire not later than ten years after the date

of grant.

OTHER MATTERS

Other Business

The Board knows

of no other

matters other than

those described in

this Information Statement

that have been

approved

or considered by the Majority Stockholders.

Stockholders Sharing an Address

SEC rules permit

companies and intermediaries

such as brokers

to satisfy delivery

requirements for

proxy materials

with respect to two or more stockholders

sharing the same address by delivering a

single copy of the proxy materials

addressed to those

stockholders.

This process, which

is commonly referred

to as

“householding,” provides cost

savings

for companies and helps the

environment by conserving natural

resources. Some brokers household

proxy materials,

delivering a single proxy statement

or notice to multiple stockholders

sharing an address unless contrary

instructions

have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received

notice from your broker that they will be

householding materials to

your address, householding

will continue

until you

are notified otherwise

or until you

revoke

your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate

proxy statement or

notice, or if

your household is

receiving multiple copies

of these documents

and you wish
