Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 1, 2026, Vaxart, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into

a Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Daniel P. Houle, Mark Silverberg, DDS, MD, Matthew M. Wallace,

MD, Patrice Raffy, Q3 Nominees Pty Ltd. and Marc Eustace Pereira (collectively, the “Stockholder Group”).

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Stockholder Group withdrew

its notice nominating three director candidates for election at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026

Annual Meeting”) and withdrew its demand to inspect certain books and records of the Company. The Stockholder Group also agreed

to cooperate with the Company during the 60- to 90-day period following the 2026 Annual Meeting to identify and mutually agree upon an

independent director candidate (the “New Director”) who will be appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

The New Director will be appointed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “NCG Committee”) and will be

considered for appointment to other committees as any other independent director with similar expertise and qualifications. If the New

Director is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director, is removed as a director, or ceases to be a director for

any other reason prior to the termination date of the Cooperation Agreement, the Company and the Stockholder Group will cooperate in good

faith to identify and mutually agree upon another person to be appointed as a replacement for the New Director.

Further, the Cooperation Agreement provides that, following the conclusion

of the 2026 Annual Meeting, the Board will (i) adopt a resignation policy applicable to incumbent director candidates in uncontested elections

who receive less than a majority of the votes cast in favor of their election, (ii) adopt stock ownership guidelines for directors, (iii)

form a Clinical and Regulatory Affairs Committee, for the purpose of overseeing the advancement of the Company’s clinical and regulatory

objectives, to be chaired by director James B. Breitmeyer, (iv) form a Stockholder Engagement Committee, for the purpose of overseeing

the advancement of the Company’s relations with stockholders, to be chaired by the New Director, and (v) determine and confirm the

composition of the NCG Committee and the Compensation Committee and select new committee chairs for each such committee.

The Company’s management has agreed to meet with the Stockholder

Group for the duration of the Cooperation Agreement at least one time per fiscal quarter following the Company’s reporting of earnings

for such quarter to discuss financial and strategic matters based on public information and for the Company to hear and consider the perspectives

of the Stockholder Group. The Stockholder Group may request the additional presence of up to two directors, in addition to the Chief Executive

Officer at any such meeting.

The Cooperation Agreement also contains customary voting commitment,

standstill and non-disparagement provisions. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Stockholder Group for reasonable and documented

out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Stockholder Group in connection with its engagement and solicitation efforts for the 2026

Annual Meeting, subject to a cap of $650,000.

The Cooperation Agreement will terminate on the date (the “Termination

Date”) that is the earlier of (x) 30 days prior to the nomination deadline under the Bylaws for the nomination of director candidates

for election to the Board at the Company’s 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”) and (y) 75

days prior to the first anniversary of the 2026 Annual Meeting; provided, however, that the Termination Date will be automatically delayed

until the date that is the earlier of (x) 30 days prior to the nomination deadline under the Bylaws for the nomination of director candidates

for election to the Board at the 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company and (y) 75 days prior to the first anniversary of

the 2027 Annual Meeting if the Company notifies the Stockholder Group and the New Director in writing at least 30 days prior to the initial

Termination Date that the Board has irrevocably offered to renominate the New Director for election at the 2027 Annual Meeting.

The foregoing description of the Cooperation Agreement does not purport

to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is attached

hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

10.1

COOPERATION AGREEMENT

This COOPERATION AGREEMENT

(this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 1, 2026, by and among Vaxart, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the

“Company”), on the one hand, and Daniel P. Houle, a citizen of the United States, Mark Silverberg, DDS, MD, a citizen

of the United States, Matthew M. Wallace, MD, a citizen of the United States, Patrice Raffy, a citizen of Switzerland, Q3 Nominees Pty

Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Australia, and Marc Eustace Pereira, a citizen of Australia (collectively the “Stockholder

Group”), on the other hand. The Company and the Stockholder Group are each herein referred to as a “party”

and collectively, the “parties.” Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set

forth in Section 15 of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Stockholder

Group currently beneficially owns an aggregate of 1,515,343 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common

Stock”), representing approximately 0.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock;

WHEREAS, on February

20, 2026, the Stockholder Group submitted to the Company notice of its nomination of three candidates (as supplemented by a supplement

to the notice dated June 3, 2026, the “Nomination Notice”) for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the

“Board”) at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”);

WHEREAS, on June 2,

2026, the Stockholder Group sent a letter to the Company demanding to inspect certain books, records and documents of the Company and

to make copies and/or receive copies or extracts therefrom (the “Books and Records Demand”); and

WHEREAS, the Company

and the Stockholder Group have determined to come to an agreement with respect to the composition of the Board and certain other matters,

as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in

consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,

the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties (including each individual member of the Stockholder Group),

intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Withdrawal

of Nomination Notice and Books and Records Demand. Effective automatically upon the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder

Group irrevocably withdraws, with this Agreement constituting sufficient and conclusive evidence of such withdrawals, the Nomination Notice,

including the three director nominations therein and any rights claimed therein to submit replacement or additional nominations, and the

Books and Records Demand. The Stockholder Group agrees that it shall cease all solicitation activities in respect of the 2026 Annual Meeting

and not take any further action in connection with soliciting proxies for the 2026 Annual Meeting, including by ceasing all social media

activity and commentary related to such proxy solicitation and the 2026 Annual Meeting.

2. Board

Composition and Related Matters.

(a) The

Company and the Stockholder Group shall, within sixty (60) to ninety (90) days from the conclusion of the 2026 Annual Meeting, cooperate

in good faith to identify and agree upon a director candidate to be appointed to the Board (such person, upon his or her appointment,

the “New Director”). The Stockholder Group may provide the Company with up to three (3) proposed candidates to become

the New Director, and the Company may provide the Stockholder Group with up to three (3) proposed candidates to become the New Director.

The Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee (the “NGC”) shall have the ability to interview the candidates

identified by the Stockholder Group and shall use reasonable best efforts to conduct any such interviews within a reasonable period after

the submission of such candidates. Except as otherwise agreed to between the Company and the Stockholder Group, Drs. Silverberg and Wallace

shall have the ability to interview together the candidates identified by the Company, subject to reasonable availability of the candidates.

Such interviews may be conducted by means of remote communication. The New Director will be selected from these respective lists based

on the mutual agreement of the Company and the Stockholder Group, which discussions shall be conducted reasonably and in good faith. Following

mutual agreement of the Company and the Stockholder Group upon a candidate to become the New Director, the Company shall take all necessary

actions to increase the size of the Board, if needed, to accommodate the new appointment, and to appoint such New Director to the Board.

To the extent the Company and the Stockholder Group cannot agree on the New Director, the Company and the Stockholder Group shall continue

to follow the procedures of this Section 2(a) until a candidate mutually agreed upon between the Company and the Stockholder

Group to be the New Director is appointed to the Board.

1

(b) Any

candidate to become the New Director must (i) qualify as an “independent director” pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the

“Nasdaq”) listing rules, (ii) have the relevant financial and business experience to serve as a director of the Company,

(iii) satisfy the publicly disclosed guidelines and policies of the Company with respect to service on the Board, including the Company’s

Certificate of Incorporation (as amended and restated and as may be further amended and restated from time to time, the “Charter”),

Amended and Restated Bylaws (as may be amended and restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”), Board committee charters,

and any similar documents applicable to directors (such guidelines, policies, and other documents as referenced in this clause (iii),

collectively, the “Governance Documents”), (iv) not be a member of the Stockholder Group or a current or former principal,

employee, agent, Affiliate, or Associate of any member of the Stockholder Group, and (v) submit to the Company (A) a fully completed copy

of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ questionnaire and (B) consent to a customary background check in advance of

any interviews with the Board and the NGC.

(c) As

a condition to the New Director’s appointment to the Board, the New Director must (i) complete and submit all customary director

onboarding documentation applicable to directors of the Company and (ii) have taken all necessary action to not be “overboarded”

under the applicable policies of Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) or Glass Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass

Lewis”) as a result of his or her election to the Board.

(d) Concurrently

with the appointment of the New Director to the Board, the New Director shall also be appointed to the NGC and shall be entitled to serve

on the NGC at least until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”). Additional committee

appointments for the New Director shall be determined by the Board in good faith, in accordance with the Board’s customary governance

processes, and the Board shall give the New Director the same due consideration for committee membership as any other independent director

with similar expertise and qualifications.

(e) If

the New Director is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director, is removed as a director, or ceases to be a director

for any other reason prior to the Termination Date, the Company and the Stockholder Group shall cooperate in good faith to identify and

mutually agree (in the manner contemplated by (and subject to) Section 2(a)) upon another person (such individual, a “Replacement

Director”), and the Board shall take such actions as are necessary to promptly appoint such Replacement Director to serve as

a director of the Company for the remainder of the New Director’s term. Effective upon the appointment of the Replacement Director

to the Board, such Replacement Director will be considered the New Director for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) During

the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company shall adopt (i) a policy providing that any incumbent director candidate for reelection

to the Board in an uncontested election of directors who receives less than a majority of the votes cast in favor of his or her election

shall tender to the Board a letter of resignation from his or her position as director, which resignation shall be contingent upon acceptance

of such resignation by the Board, and which policy shall include and be subject to other terms and conditions customary in such policies,

and (ii) stock ownership guidelines for directors providing that directors shall hold specified amounts of Company stock, subject to other

terms and conditions customary in such policies.

2

(g) For

the duration of this Agreement, the Company’s management agrees to meet with the Stockholder Group at least one time per fiscal

quarter following the Company’s reporting of earnings for such quarter, subject to reasonable availability of the Stockholder Group

and the Company’s management, to discuss financial and strategic matters based on public information and for the Company to hear

and reasonably consider the perspectives of the Stockholder Group. The Stockholder Group may request the additional presence of up to

two (2) directors (in addition to the Chief Executive Officer) at any such meeting, and up to two (2) directors will attend such meetings

subject to reasonable availability.

(h) As

soon as reasonably practicable following the conclusion of the 2026 Annual Meeting, the Board shall (i) determine and confirm the composition

of the NGC and the Compensation Committee and select new committee chairs for each such committee (provided that the Company has not previously

taken such actions prior to the 2026 Annual Meeting), (ii) form a Clinical and Regulatory Affairs Committee, for the purpose of overseeing

the advancement of the Company’s clinical and regulatory objectives, which committee shall be chaired by director James B. Breitmeyer,

and (iii) form a Stockholder Engagement Committee, for the purpose of overseeing the advancement of the Company’s relations with

stockholders, which committee shall be chaired by the New Director until the Termination Date.

(i) Notwithstanding

any other terms of this Section 2, the Company’s obligations pursuant to Sections 2(e) and 2(g) shall cease

if the Stockholder Group’s Net Long Position falls below the lesser of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock and 0.5% of outstanding

shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and recapitalizations) (the “Requisite

Threshold”). Upon the Company’s written request, the Stockholder Group shall provide the Company with written confirmation

of its continued holding of a Net Long Position equal to or greater than the Requisite Threshold.

3. Voting

Commitment. Until the Termination Date, the members of the Stockholder Group shall appear in person or by proxy at each Stockholder

Meeting (including the 2026 Annual Meeting) and vote, or deliver consents or consent revocations with respect to, all of the shares of

Common Stock, beneficially owned by each of them and over which each of them has voting power as of the applicable record date, in accordance

with the Board’s recommendations with respect to all proposals submitted to stockholders at each such Stockholder Meeting, in each

case as the Board’s recommendation is set forth in the applicable definitive proxy statement, consent solicitation statement or

revocation solicitation statement filed with the SEC by the Company in respect of such Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(i) in the event that ISS or Glass Lewis issues voting recommendations that differ from the voting recommendation of the Board with respect

to any proposal submitted to the stockholders at any Stockholder Meeting (other than proposals to elect or remove directors), each member

of the Stockholder Group shall be permitted to vote, or deliver consents or consent revocations with respect to, all or a portion of the

Common Stock it beneficially owns and over which such member has voting power as of the applicable record date, respectively, at such

Stockholder Meeting in accordance with the ISS or Glass Lewis recommendation for such proposal; and (ii) each member of the Stockholder

Group shall be permitted to vote in its sole discretion on any Extraordinary Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if ISS and Glass

Lewis are silent regarding any Company proposal, the members of the Stockholder Group shall vote in accordance with the Board’s

recommendation.

3

4. Standstill

Provisions. Prior to the Termination Date, without the prior written consent of the Board, the members of the Stockholder Group

shall not, and shall cause each of their respective Representatives not to, in each case, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part,

person, by joining a group, through swap or hedging transactions or otherwise, any voting securities of the Company (other than through

a broad-based market basket or index fund) or any voting rights decoupled from the underlying voting securities which would result in

Meeting, whether or not such a meeting is permitted by the Company’s Charter or Bylaws, or any town hall meeting or similar meeting,

participate in any “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to any proposal for consideration at, or other business

or other business brought before any Stockholder Meeting, other than solely with members of the Stockholder Group;

(d) deposit

any voting securities of the Company in any voting trust or subject any Company voting securities to any arrangement or agreement with

respect to the voting thereof, other than (i) such voting trust, arrangement or agreement solely among members of the Stockholder Group,

4

(h)

or consent revocations, as applicable, by members of the Stockholder Group against the voting recommendations of the Board in connection

with a Stockholder Meeting (other than in connection with an Extraordinary Transaction, if any);

(i) initiate,

make, offer, propose to effect or in any way participate, directly or indirectly, any Extraordinary Transaction or make, directly or indirectly,

any proposal, either alone or in concert with others, to the Company or the Board that would reasonably be expected to require a public

announcement or disclosure regarding any such matter;

(j) effect

or seek to effect, offer or propose to effect, cause or participate in, or in any way assist or facilitate any other person to effect

(l) publicly

make or in any way publicly advance any request or proposal that the Company or the Board amend, modify or waive any provision of this

Agreement; or

(m) take

any action challenging the validity or enforceability of this Section 4 or this Agreement unless the Company is challenging the

of the Stockholder Group or any of their respective Representatives, from (A) making any factual statement or public disclosure to the

extent required by applicable legal process, subpoena or legal requirement to any governmental authority with competent jurisdiction over

the party from whom information is sought (so long as such request did not arise as a result of voluntary action by the Stockholder Group

or its Representatives), (B) making any private or confidential communication to or with the Board, any officer or director of the Company,

or legal counsel, public relations advisor, or proxy solicitor of the Company that is not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected

for shares or otherwise participating in any transaction approved by the Board on the same basis as the other stockholders of the Company,

subject to the other terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit

the exercise in good faith by the New Director of his or her fiduciary duties in his or her capacity as a director of the Company.

5. Mutual

Non-Disparagement. Prior to the Termination Date, each party (including, for purposes of this Section 5, each member of

the Stockholder Group) hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its respective Representatives not to, without the

prior written consent of the other party, make any public statement or comment, in any forum, in a manner that criticizes, undermines,

disparages, attempts to discredit, calls into disrepute or otherwise reflects detrimentally on the other party or its Affiliates, the

other party’s or its Affiliates’ current or former directors in their capacity as such, the other party’s or its Affiliates’

officers or employees in their capacity as such (including any current officer of a party or a party’s Affiliates or subsidiaries

who no longer serves in such capacity following the execution of this Agreement), or any of their businesses, products or services. Each

party covenants and agrees that it shall inform any current Representative who ceases to be a Representative prior to the Termination

Date of their obligations under this Section 5, and instruct such person to comply with such obligations. A statement in breach

of this Section 5 shall only be deemed to be made by the Company if made by a member of the Board or senior management team, in

each case authorized to make such statement. The restrictions in this Section 5 shall not (a) apply (i) to any compelled testimony

or production of information, whether by legal process, subpoena or as part of a response to a request for information from any governmental

or regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the party from whom information is sought, in each case, to the extent required or (ii)

to any disclosure that such party reasonably believes, after consultation with counsel, to be legally required by applicable law, rules

or regulations, in each case of clause (i) or (ii), solely to the extent that such restrictions would require a violation of the applicable

requirement; or (b) prohibit any party from reporting what it reasonably believes, after consultation with outside counsel, to be violations

of federal law or regulation to any governmental authority pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act or Rule 21F promulgated thereunder.

The limitations set forth in this Section 5 shall not prevent any party from responding to any public statement made by the other

party of the nature described in this Section 5 if such statement by the other party was made in breach of this Agreement.

5

6. No

Litigation. Each party (including, for purposes of this Section 6, each member of the Stockholder Group) hereby covenants

and agrees that, prior to the Termination Date, it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly,

alone or in concert with others, encourage, threaten, initiate or pursue, or assist any other person to encourage, threaten, initiate

or pursue, any lawsuit, claim or proceeding before any court (each, a “Legal Proceeding”) against the other party or

any of its Representatives, except for (a) any Legal Proceeding initiated primarily to remedy a breach of or to enforce this Agreement

and (b) in response to a Legal Proceeding permitted by the foregoing clause (a), counterclaims to remedy a breach of or to enforce this

Agreement. Each party represents and warrants that neither it nor any Representative or assignee has filed any lawsuit against the other

party.

parties under this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction or otherwise and specific performance

of the provisions hereof upon satisfying the requirements to obtain such relief without the necessity of posting a bond or other security,
