On October 2, 2012, the Company received notice from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) that the Ebola portion of the contract for Advanced Development of Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Therapeutics (the "ADHFVT contract") is being terminated, effective immediately, for the convenience of the government due to funding constraints. The Company previously received a stop-work order for the Ebola portion of the contract which was in effect from August 2, 2012 through the termination on October 2, 2012. The termination only applies to the Ebola portion of the contract and the Marburg portion remains in effect.

DoD conducted an evaluation of its Ebola medical countermeasure candidate development efforts and selected an alternative contractor's candidate for continued development. However, upon entry into a settlement agreement between the Company and DoD regarding costs associated with termination, the government may reserve the right under the settlement agreement to reinstate the terminated portion of the ADHFVT contract if the Company's Ebola therapeutic becomes the only alternative under which the government can fulfill its requirement due to development failure or default by the company that was selected provided that the Marburg portion of the contract is continuing at that time, or if DOD identifies additional funds to allow continued development of both Ebola medical countermeasures. On October 3, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the termination of the Ebola portion of the ADHFVT contract, a copy of which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Item 7.01 is furnished to, but not filed with, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
