Valneva: Valnvea, an Austrian/french specialty vaccine company focused on prevention of infectious diseases with significant unmet medical need, reported preliminary and unaudited cash and cash equivalents of Euro 204.4 mn at the end of December 2020, exceeding its guidance of between Euro180 mn and Euro 200 mn. Valneva’s cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2020 increased to Euro 204.4 mn compared to Euro 64.4 mn at December 31, 2019. The change was primarily driven by a USD 130.0 mn upfront payment related to the Lyme collaboration agreement with Pfizer, Euro 96.7 mn related to the UK COVID-19 vaccine partnership deal, and Euro 48.8 mn of net proceeds from the financing arrangement with Deerfield and OrbiMed, offset by Euro 20 mn repayments of borrowings to the European Investment Bank. Such amounts are preliminary and unaudited. Thomas Lingelbach, Chief Executive Officer of Valneva commented, “2020 has been a transformational year for Valneva, marked by the Pfizer and UK government partnerships. With over €200 million of cash, Valneva is in a strong position despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the travel industry and our commercial travel business. This solid cash position will allow us to focus on the execution of our key programs in 2021.”

Financial Market Authority (FMA): Almost a year ago to the day, anti-money laundering regulations were tightened for virtual asset service providers that provide their business activities in Austria or provide them in other countries from Austria. Since then, prior to the admittance of their business activities they have been required to register with the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) and are subject to the due diligence and reporting obligations for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing. Since the new rules entered into force, a total of 40 applications for registration have been submitted to the FMA, and in 18 cases the registration was granted. In addition to exchange platforms (for exchanging virtual currencies against fiat currencies or vice versa) and wallet providers (providers of electronic wallets), market participants that exchange one or more virtual currencies against one another, transfer virtual currencies or provide financial services for the issuance and selling of virtual currencies. In the case of the 18 registered entities, the majority are service providers that operate electronic wallets and exchange platforms.
