New York – December 24, 2025 – Cooley advised Dynavax Technologies, a publicly traded vaccines company with a marketed adult hepatitis B vaccine (HEPLISAV-B), a shingles vaccine candidate and a differentiated clinical-stage pipeline, on its definitive agreement to be acquired by Sanofi for $15.50 per share in cash, representing an equity value of $2.2 billion.
