SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Notifies Investors of Class Action Lawsuit And Encourages Those Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 From Investment In Dynavax Technologies Corporation To Contact Brower Piven Before The Lead Plaintiff Deadline – DVAX

STEVENSON, Md., Nov. 27, 2016 -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of Dynavax Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq:DVAX) (“Dynavax” or the “Company”) common shares during the period between March 10, 2014 and November 11, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until January 17, 2017 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Dynavax common shares during the Class Period.  Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that there were significant adverse events associated with Dynavax’s HEPLISAV-B product, including an imbalance in the number of cardiac events during use and a commercial product launch of HEPLISAV-B was less imminent than Dynavax had led investors to believe.

According to the complaint, following a November 14, 2016 announcement that the Company had received a complete response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requesting additional information on the Company’s HEPLISAV-B product, including clarification regarding specific adverse events of special interest, a numerical imbalance in a small number of cardiac events in a single study, new analyses of the integrated safety data base across different time periods, and post-marketing commitments, the value of Dynavax shares declined significantly.

If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Dynavax common shares purchased on or after March 10, 2014 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html.  You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.  Brower Piven also encourages anyone with information regarding the Company’s conduct during the period in question to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
