As disclosed previously in a Form 8-K filed by Dynavax Technologies Corporation (“we” or “us”) on August 31, 2006, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Azimuth Opportunity Ltd. (“Azimuth”), pursuant to which we may, from time to time and subject to the terms and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, sell Azimuth shares of our common stock. On December 5, 2006, we expect to settle with Azimuth on the purchase of 1,663,456 shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement at an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000. We will receive an estimated net proceeds from the sale of these shares of approximately $14.8 million after deducting our estimated offering expenses. In connection with this sale, we are filing, as Exhibit 5.1 hereto, an opinion of our counsel, Cooley Godward Kronishllp.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, dated August 31, 2006, by and between Azimuth and us, which was filed as an exhibit to the August 31, 2006 Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
