Dear Fellow Stockholder,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the Savara Inc. 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on June 5, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time via live webcast atwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SVRA2025. The attached Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement contain important information about the meeting and matters for your consideration. Your vote is important, and regardless of whether you plan to attend the meeting, I encourage you to review the material carefully and submit your proxy.
The events of the past year have been paramount to Savara as we work to bring our investigational therapy, molgramostim inhalation solution (MOLBREEVI*), to market to address the significant unmet need in autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP), a rare and debilitating lung disease. In 2024, we were pleased to report positive results from IMPALA-2, a pivotal, Phase 3 clinical trial of MOLBREEVI for the potential treatment of aPAP followed by the publishing of a real-world case series in ERJ Open Research that suggested MOLBREEVI addresses the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. We also completed a $100 million equity financing and strengthened our management team with key hires in Global Technical Operations, Commercial, Medical Affairs, and Quality Assurance. In March 2025, we completed the submission of the Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for MOLBREEVI as a treatment for aPAP and entered into anon-dilutive debt financing for up to $200 million that will provide access tolow-cost capital options to further finance the company.
Over the years, we have been guided by the unwavering purpose of dramatically improving the standard of care for people living with aPAP while creating long-term value for our stockholders. This purpose has not, and will not, change as we get closer to a potential approval in the U.S. and transition to a commercial company.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Matthew Pauls
Matthew Pauls
Chair of the Board of Directors & Chief Executive Officer
