GAITHERSBURG, Md., May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- GenVec, Inc. (NasdaqCM: GNVC) ("GenVec" or "the Company"), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with institutional investors for an offering of shares of common stock with gross proceeds of approximately $5 million in an at-the-market registered direct offering.

In connection with the offering, the Company will issue approximately 5.5 million registered shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.91375 per share.
