DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
          On January 4, 2001, Novavax, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-53194 (the “Registration Statement’) registering the offering for resale from time to time of up to an aggregate 3,387,501 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, by certain selling shareholders identified in the prospectus constituting part of the Registration Statement.
          In accordance with the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to remove from registration all Shares remaining unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof (the “Unsold Shares”). The Registrant is deregistering the Unsold Shares because its contractual obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to the Shares pursuant to certain agreements with the selling shareholders has terminated and/or expired.
