Dear Mr Goginashvili,
Thank you for your submission of the
Confirmation of Intent to Participate in the COVAX Facility (“Confirmation Letter”). We are pleased to report that to date eighty self-financing economies have confirmed their intention to participate in the Facility, and confirmations are still
coming in. By way of this email, I am pleased to share with you the final and individualised version of the
Commitment Agreement based on the preferences you indicated in your Confirmation Letter and the Terms and Conditions,
which have not changed since first shared on August 28.
This
Commitment Agreement will constitute the legally binding agreement between your Government and Gavi and will need to be signed before
September 18. Requisite financing and guarantee, must be provided no later than
October 9. We will follow up shortly with more information on the requirements for the guarantee.
Please note that compared to the draft
Commitment Agreement provided to you on 28 August,
the final version includes individualized information specific to your commitment and the Schedules to the
Commitment Agreement, which are the forms of the documents described in the body of the Commitment Agreement. In addition,
amendments were made in order to (i) clarify that participants may organise payments (expressed as “procure payments” in the Agreement) by a third party on their behalf of sums due under the agreement (to afford participants more flexibility in this
regard) and (ii) tidy up a few lines, but not substantive.
An
authorised signatory is invited to sign your individualised and final Commitment Agreement on the second to last page to the right of the bracket. Include the name and title of the
authorised signatory on the line below “Executed by”.
The signature must also be witnessed and signed by the witness in the space provided next to “Witness Signature”. Include
the name, occupation and address of the witness in the space provided.
Please do not sign the schedules as these are templates that are to be completed if and when necessary.
Please include, under Section 13 of the
Commitment Agreement (“Method of Communication”), the appropriate contact name for communications and the address and email of such person.
Please return an electronic copy of the signature page to Gavi and send a paper copy to Gavi by post at the address indicated
in Section 13.
When we receive the electronic copy of the signature page, we will send it back to you by electronic mail, signed by Dr. Seth
Berkley, Chief Executive Officer. We will follow up with a paper copy sent by post to the address indicated in Section 13 of the
Commitment Agreement.
We thank you for your ongoing engagement and collaboration in the co-creation of the COVAX Facility and look forward to receiving
your signed Commitment Agreement.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for any questions on the information we have provided.
Please accept the assurances of our highest consideration,
Ava Mojtahed on behalf of The Office of the COVAX Facility
