Savara Announces Change of Date for 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Savara Inc. (Nasdaq: SVRA), an orphan lung disease company, today announced a change in the date, time, and format of its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders due to public health and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic and in the interest of the health and well-being of stockholders and other meeting participants. The Annual Meeting will now be held in a virtual-only format by means of a live audio webcast at 3:00 p.m. CDT on Friday, May 29, 2020, instead of the location, time, and date previously disclosed in the proxy materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2020. Stockholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

As described in the proxy materials, all stockholders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2020, and those who hold a legal proxy, are entitled to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders can attend the Annual Meeting by accessing www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SVRA2020 and entering the 16-digit control number on the proxy card or notice of availability of proxy materials previously furnished. Guests may attend the Annual Meeting without a control number but will not be able to vote or ask questions.

All stockholders are encouraged to submit their vote by proxy in advance by one of the methods described in the proxy materials, even if they plan to attend the Annual Meeting. The proxy card previously furnished will not be updated to reflect the change in date, time, and location and may continue to be used to vote in connection with the Annual Meeting.
