Item 8.01.    Other Events
 
On June 4, 2008, our Vice President, Clinical Development, inadvertently disclosed at a medical conference our belief that the clinical hold questions raised by the FDA with respect to HEPLISAV(TM) will be addressed in the not too distant future and that we will be able to resume clinical studies of HEPLISAV in 2009. As previously disclosed, Dynavax and Merck plan to provide a complete response to the FDA query in a timely manner. The FDA will then determine whether the data provided are satisfactory for the continuation of the clinical program.
