Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 16, 2026, Altimmune, Inc. (the “Company”) announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Gaithersburg, Maryland to Morristown, New Jersey later this year. The new headquarters is in a geography with a strong presence of biopharmaceutical companies, which is expected to support the Company’s ability to attract top-tier talent in its hybrid business model, as the Company continues its growth as a late-stage development company.
The Company has entered into an office lease agreement for the New Jersey headquarters where the Company will make rent payments of approximately $300,000 annually for the 5-year lease term. The move of the headquarters is expected to help the company achieve cost efficiencies over the long term.
