RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully read the following risk factors in addition to the remainder of this prospectus before purchasing any shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

WE HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE DEVELOPMENT OF MANY OF OUR PRODUCTS AND OUR ABILITY TO DO SO IS UNCERTAIN

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND OUR FUTURE PROFITABILITY IS UNCERTAIN

     Our expenses have exceeded our revenues since our formation in 1987, and our accumulated deficit at June 30, 2001 was $59.1 million. Our revenues for the last three years were $0.7 million in 1998, $1.2 million in 1999 and $2.5 million in 2000. The Fielding

acquisition has generated revenue from commercial sales of products but we cannot be certain that these revenues will be sufficient to offset our expenses in the future. We have received a very limited amount of product-related revenue from research contracts, licenses and agreements to provide vaccine products, services and adjuvant technologies. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in entering into strategic alliances or collaborative arrangements with other companies that will result in other significant revenues to offset our expenses. Our net losses for the last three years were $4.8 million in 1998, $4.5 million in 1999 and $12.2 million in 2000. Our losses have resulted from research and development expenses, protection of our patents and other intellectual property and other general operating expenses. We expect that our annual losses will increase in the near term as we conduct additional and larger clinical trials and seek regulatory approval for advanced stage product candidates. Therefore, we expect our cumulative operating loss to increase until such time, if ever, as product sales, licensing fees and royalty payments generate sufficient revenue to fund our continuing operations. We cannot predict when, if ever, we might achieve profitability and cannot be certain that we will be able to sustain profitability, if achieved.

OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE PROPRIETARY NATURE OF OUR TECHNOLOGY

     Our success will, in large part, depend on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology and other trade secrets. To do so, we must prosecute and maintain existing patents, obtain new patents and pursue trade secret protection. We also must operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties or letting third parties infringe our rights. We have 50 United States patents and 125 foreign patents covering our technologies, including our Novamix™ production equipment. However, patent issues relating to pharmaceuticals involve complex legal, scientific and factual questions. To date, no consistent policy has emerged regarding the breadth of biotechnology patent claims that are granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or enforced by the federal courts. Therefore, we do not know whether our applications will result in the issuance of patents, or that any patents issued to Novavax will provide us with any competitive advantage. We also cannot be sure that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable. Furthermore, there is a risk that others will independently develop or duplicate similar technology or products or circumvent the patents issued to Novavax.

     There is risk that third parties may challenge our existing patents or may claim that we are infringing their patents or proprietary rights. We could incur substantial costs in defending patent infringement suits or in filing suits against others to have their patents declared invalid or claim infringement. It is also possible that we may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing third-party patents or other proprietary rights. We cannot be sure that such third-party licenses would be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain required third-party licenses, we may be delayed in or prohibited from developing, manufacturing or selling products requiring such licenses.

     Some of our know-how and technology is not patentable. To protect our proprietary rights in unpatentable intellectual property and trade secrets, we require employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. These agreements may not

OTHER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE GREATER RESOURCES TO DEVELOP, MANUFACTURE AND MARKET COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS

     We compete with numerous other companies worldwide that have developed or are developing novel drug delivery and encapsulation technologies. These competitors include both large and small pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, universities and other research institutions. We may not succeed in developing technologies and products that are more effective than those being developed by our competitors.

     Our technologies and products may be rendered obsolete or noncompetitive as a result of products introduced by competitors. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial and technical resources, production and marketing capabilities and related experience than Novavax. The greater resources, capabilities and experience of our competitors may enable them to develop, manufacture and market their products more successfully and at a lower cost than Novavax. In addition, many of Novavax’s competitors have significantly greater experience than Novavax in conducting pre-clinical testing and clinical trials of human pharmaceuticals and obtaining regulatory approvals to market such products. Accordingly, Novavax’s competitors may succeed in obtaining FDA approval for products more rapidly than Novavax which may give them an advantage over Novavax in achieving market acceptance of their products.

WE NEED ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY TO COMMERCIALIZE OUR PRODUCTS

     When we manufacture our own products, we will need to acquire additional manufacturing facilities and to improve our manufacturing technology. Establishing additional manufacturing facilities will require us to spend substantial funds, hire and retain a significant number of additional personnel and comply with extensive regulations applicable to such facilities here and abroad, including the current good laboratory practices and good manufacturing practices required by the FDA. If we elect to or need to manufacture our own products, we risk the possibility that we may not be able to do so in a timely fashion at acceptable quality and prices or in compliance with good laboratory practices and good manufacturing practices. If we are not able to enter into commercial manufacturing agreements or successfully develop our own commercial manufacturing capacity, sales of our products will be delayed or reduced.

WE MAY NOT SUCCEED IN OBTAINING THE FDA APPROVAL NECESSARY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS

are in pre-clinical laboratory or animal studies. Before applying for FDA approval to market any particular product candidate other than ESTRASORB, we must conduct larger-scale Phase II and III human clinical trials that demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our products to the satisfaction of the FDA or other regulatory authorities. These processes are expensive and can take many years to complete. We may not be able to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our products to the satisfaction of the FDA or other regulatory authorities. We may also be required to demonstrate that our proposed product represents an improved form of treatment over existing therapies and we may be unable to do so without conducting further clinical studies.

     We may fail to obtain regulatory approval for our products on a timely basis. Delays in obtaining regulatory approval can be extremely costly in terms of lost sales opportunities and increased clinical trial costs. The speed with which we complete our clinical trials and our applications for marketing approval will depend on several factors, including the following:

     We have limited experience in conducting and managing the pre-clinical and clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory marketing approvals. We may not be able to obtain the approvals necessary to conduct clinical studies. Also, the results of our clinical trials may not be consistent with the results obtained in pre-clinical studies or the results obtained in later phases of clinical trials may not be consistent with those obtained in earlier phases. A number of companies in the biopharmaceutical industry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after experiencing promising results in early animal and human testing. If regulatory approval of a drug is granted, such approval is likely to limit the indicated uses for which it may be marketed. Furthermore, even if a product of ours gains regulatory approval, the product and the manufacturer of the product will be subject to continuing regulatory review. We may be restricted or prohibited from marketing or manufacturing a product, even after obtaining product approval, if previously unknown problems with the product or its manufacture are subsequently discovered.

7

WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO GROW AND OPERATE OUR BUSINESS AND WE ARE UNCERTAIN ABOUT OBTAINING FUTURE FINANCING

     We estimate that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to finance our operations at current and projected levels of development and general corporate activity for the next 18 to 24 months. Thereafter, we may require additional funds to continue our research and development, commence future pre-clinical and clinical trials, seek regulatory approvals, establish commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities and market our products. We may seek additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings, collaborative arrangements with pharmaceutical companies and other sources. We cannot be certain that adequate additional funding or bank financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If we cannot raise the additional funds we may need to continue our current and anticipated operations, we may be required to delay significantly, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our research or development programs. If that is the case we will seek other alternatives to avoid insolvency, including arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies, product candidates or products.

THE COMPANY

     Most of our product candidates are still in a relatively early stage of development and cannot be marketed until Phase I, Phase II and Phase III human clinical studies have been completed and new drug applications have been prepared, filed and approved by the FDA and other applicable regulatory agencies. We expect that this process will continue over several years and will require us to spend substantial amounts of money which we will have to raise from additional financings or licensing agreements. Therefore, we expect that our annual

8

operating losses and accumulated deficit will continue for the foreseeable future. We estimate that our current cash resources will be sufficient to finance company operations at presently planned levels for another 18 to 24 months.

     Fielding’s products include the following:

     On December 19, 2000, King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. signed an agreement to make a $25.0 million convertible note investment in Novavax in two stages. The first note, in the principal amount of $20.0 million, was issued on December 19, 2000 and is convertible into 2,000,000 shares of Novavax common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share. The second convertible note, in the principal amount of $5.0 million, was issued on September 7, 2001 and is convertible into 500,000 shares of Novavax common stock at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share. On September 7, 2001, King signed an additional agreement to make a $5.0 million convertible note investment in Novavax. This convertible note was issued on September 7, 2001 and is convertible into 360,490 shares of Novavax common stock at an initial conversion price of $13.87 per share. Each of the notes has a maturity date of December 19, 2007 and accrues interest at an annual rate of 4%. Novavax used a portion of the proceeds from the first

9

note to complete its acquisition of Fielding and will use the balance for general operating purposes. The proceeds from the notes of September 7, 2001 will be used for general operating purposes.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

     We are registering all 860,490 shares covered by this prospectus on behalf of the selling stockholder named in the table below. We have issued two $5.0 million convertible notes to King Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the first which is initially convertible into 500,000 of the shares registered hereby and the second which is initially convertible into 360,490 of the shares registered hereby. The registration of such shares does not necessarily mean that King will convert all or any portion of its convertible notes. We have registered the shares covered by this prospectus to permit the selling stockholder and its pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest that receive their shares from the selling stockholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this prospectus to resell the shares when they deem appropriate. We have registered these shares in accordance with registration rights we granted to the selling stockholder in connection with King’s investment in Novavax. See “The Company” for information about this transaction.

     The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the selling stockholder, including

The selling stockholder may offer and sell all, a portion or none of the common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus.

11

(1)  Amount shown assumes conversion of the entire principal amount of all of King’s convertible notes at the initial conversion price of each such convertible note. The conversion price of each convertible note is subject to adjustment based on dilutive issuances of common stock and rights to acquire common stock, as defined in our agreement with King. This prospectus also relates to such indeterminate number of shares of common stock which may become issuable under these antidilution provisions.

(2)  The remaining 2,000,000 shares not being offered pursuant to this prospectus were registered pursuant to a registration statement which became effective on January 12, 2001. This number presumes the completion of both offerings.

USE OF PROCEEDS

     We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholder named in this prospectus and, to the extent permitted by its registration rights agreement with Novavax, by its donees or transferees and its other successors in interest. The selling stockholder may sell its shares at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The selling stockholder reserves the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares, whether the purchase is to be made directly or through agents.

     The selling stockholder may offer its shares at various times in one or more of the following transactions:

12

     The selling stockholder also may sell its shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

     From time to time, the selling stockholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by it. If the selling stockholder defaults in performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares from time to time by this prospectus. The selling stockholder also may transfer and donate shares in other circumstances. The number of shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholder will decrease as and when the selling stockholder transfers or donates its shares or defaults in performing obligations secured by its shares. The plan of distribution for the shares offered and sold under this prospectus will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees, donees, pledgees, other secured parties or other successors in interest will be selling stockholders for purposes of this prospectus.

     The selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers. The selling stockholder also may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of shares to the broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer such shares. In addition, the selling stockholder may loan or pledge shares to a broker-dealer, which may sell the loaned shares or, upon a default by the selling stockholder of the secured obligation, may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged shares.

     The selling stockholder may use brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents to sell its shares. The persons acting as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions. This compensation may be paid by the selling stockholder or the purchasers of the shares of whom such persons may act as agent, or to whom they may sell as principal, or both. The compensation as to a particular person may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. The selling stockholder and any agents or broker-dealers that participate with the selling stockholder in the offer and sale of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any commissions they receive and any profit they realize on the resale of the shares by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Neither we nor the selling stockholder can presently estimate the amount of such compensation.

     If the selling stockholder sells shares in an underwritten offering, the underwriters may acquire the shares for their own account and resell the shares from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. In such event, we will set forth in a supplement to this prospectus the names of the underwriters and the terms of the transactions, including any underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions and other items constituting compensation of the underwriters and broker-dealers. The underwriters from time to time may change any public offering price and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. Unless otherwise set forth in a supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the shares specified in the supplement if they purchase any of the shares.

13

     We have informed the selling stockholder that during such time as it may be engaged in a distribution of the shares, it is required to comply with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act. With exceptions, Regulation M prohibits the selling stockholder, any affiliated purchasers and other persons who participate in such a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.

     Under our registration rights agreement with the selling stockholder, we are required to bear the expenses relating to this offering, excluding any underwriting discounts or commissions, stock transfer taxes and fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholder. We estimate these expenses will total approximately $15,000.

     We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder and its controlling persons against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholder of the shares offered by this document.

     This offering by the selling stockholder will terminate on the date specified in the selling stockholder’s registration rights agreement with us, or, if earlier, on the date on which the selling stockholder has sold all of the selling stockholder’s shares.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS — Form S-3

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

     The expenses to be borne by the company in connection with this offering are as follows:

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Article NINTH of Novavax’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director or officer of the registrant (a) shall be indemnified by the registrant against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the registrant) brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of the registrant if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and (b) shall be indemnified by the registrant against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in the right of the registrant brought against him by virtue of his position as a director or officer of the registrant if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the registrant, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the registrant, unless the Delaware Chancery Court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he is required to be indemnified by the registrant against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall be advanced to a director or officer at his request, provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.

     Indemnification is required to be made unless the registrant determines that the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification has not been met. In the event of a

determination by the registrant that the director or officer did not meet the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification, or if the registrant fails to make an indemnification payment within 60 days after such payment is claimed by such person, such person is permitted to petition the court to make an independent determination as to whether such person is entitled to indemnification. As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director or officer must give the registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and the registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume the defense thereof.

     Article NINTH of Novavax’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the event that the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to expand the indemnification permitted to directors or officers the registrant must indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law as so amended.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

     The registrant maintains insurance under which the insurers will reimburse the registrant for amounts that it has paid to its directors and officers as indemnification for claims against such persons in their official capacities. The insurance also covers such persons as to amounts paid by them as a result of claims against them in their official capacities that are not reimbursed by the registrant. The insurance is subject to certain limitations and exclusions.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 16. Exhibits.

     See Exhibit Index, incorporated herein by reference.

Item 17. Undertakings.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling person of the registrant pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of registrant, indemnification agreements entered into between registrant and its officers and directors, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
