We can only guess by the next steps.

The EU can equally wave flags I'm not sure why you've interpreted it as a criticism one side and not the other.

I doubt the CEO or company are interested in flag waving they need to defend their positon. As I've said I believe that cold, hard, capitalism and what's actually in the contracts that's important not the headlines in the British press (or EU press for that matter).
If there are penalities in the EU contract, that makes the EU approach even worse. They are getting it at COST, all courtesy of the UK.
Hypocrisy from the EU.

One point the contract does make clear: If any EU country made a deal with CureVac outside the Commission's contract, these orders would only be supplied after the Commission's order was fully completed.
This has become an issue after Berlin said it made additional deals for 20 million CureVac and 30 million BioNTech vaccine doses outside the EU deal — an apparent violation of the Commission's unified strategy. Still, the head of the Commission's health department and Germany have both said any such deals would be supplied only after the Commission.
“The quantities for Europe come first," Sandra Gallina, the head of DG SANTE, told MEPs Tuesday morning.
