Item 8.01 Other Events.

Altimmune, Inc. (the "Company") has established Thursday, April 16, 2026 as the date of the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2026 Annual Meeting") to align with the standard second quarter annual meeting calendar for companies operating on a 12/31 fiscal year-end. The record date for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting shall be the close of business on Friday, March 13, 2026. The exact time and location of the 2026 Annual Meeting will be specified in the Company's proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting, and it is expected to be a virtual meeting consistent with prior years.

Because the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting differs by more than thirty (30) days from the anniversary date of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2025 Annual Meeting"), which was held on September 25, 2025, the Company is setting a deadline for receipt of stockholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that is a reasonable time before the Company expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials for the 2026 Annual Meeting. In order to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and proxy card for the 2026 Annual Meeting, any proposal submitted by a stockholder must be delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Company's Secretary at the Company's principal executive offices at 910 Clopper Road, Suite 201S, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20878 on or before February 13, 2026. Such proposals must comply with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (including the other requirements of Rule 14a-8), and may be omitted if not in compliance with applicable requirements.

In addition, under the Company’s bylaws, any director nominee or proposal for consideration at the 2026 Annual Meeting submitted by a stockholder other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 will be considered timely if such proposal or director nomination is received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company at its principal executive offices no later than February 13, 2026, which is 10 days after the day on which the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting is first disclosed by the Company. Any such proposal or nomination must meet the requirements set forth in the Company’s bylaws.

Additionally, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by the Company’s bylaws and Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 no later than February 15, 2026.
