“I’m pleased that we have an opportunity to get the Viaskin peanut patch to patients earlier than planned. VITESSE is the largest study ever conducted for peanut allergy in this age range. We had tremendous interest in this study; our original plan to randomize 600 subjects increased to a final count of 654 due to a surge at the end of recruitment,” said Dr. Pharis Mohideen, Chief Medical Officer, DBV Technologies. “This over-enrollment increases the study’s statistical power to greater than 90% and therefore DBV’s probability of success for VITESSE. Further, we targeted a younger and more sensitive patient population by limiting the age to 4 – 7-year-olds and the entry eliciting dose for the food challenge to 100 mg—these are the patients with a very high unmet medical need and who have historically seen robust treatment effects with Viaskin peanut. We ended up enrolling more younger subjects (i.e., 57% 4 – 5-year-olds) than expected and the overall study median peanut-specific IgE (39.2 kU/L) was also lower than expected, both of which have been associated with more robust treatment response¹. We are looking forward to results in the fourth quarter of this year.”

“DBV looks forward to the continued advancement of the Viaskin peanut patch programs, highlighting the importance of the Company’s strong cash position with this newly secured capital,” said Virginie Boucinha, Chief Finance Officer, DBV Technologies. “We will continue to exercise diligent use of our resources. This infusion of capital from leading healthcare investors—both existing and new—reflects a strong confidence in the importance of the Viaskin peanut patch, and its potential impact on food allergy families. We are pleased to have such high caliber investors supportive of DBV as we progress towards potential commercialization of the Viaskin peanut patch, if approved.”

The financing consists of:

• a share capital increase without preferential subscription rights reserved to categories of persons satisfying determined characteristics² pursuant to the 24^th resolution of the general meeting of shareholders of May 16, 2024 (the "2024 General Meeting") for an amount of approximately €38 million, consisting of the issuance of (i) 34,090,004 new shares at a par value of €0.10 (the "New Shares") each with warrants of the Company attached (the "ABSA Warrants", and together with the New Shares, the "ABSA") at a subscription price of €1.1136 per ABSA and (ii) up to 59,657,507 additional new shares, if all the ABSA Warrants attached to the New Shares are exercised (the "ABSA Warrant Shares"); and
  
  

• the issue through an offering reserved to categories of persons satisfying determined characteristics of 71,005,656 units (the “PFW-BS-PFW”) for an amount of approximately €79 million at a subscription price of €1.1136 per PFW-BS-PFW (of which €1.1036 will have been prefunded on the issue date), each PFW-BS-PFW consisting of one pre-funded warrant to subscribe for one share of the Company (the "First Pre-Funded Warrants") and one warrant (the "BS Warrants") to subscribe to one pre-funded warrants (the "Second Pre-Funded Warrants"), allowing to issue up to 71,005,656 additional new shares if all the First Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised (the "First PFW Shares") and up to 124,259,898 additional new shares if all the Second Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised (the "Second PFW Shares", together with the ABSA Warrant Shares and the First Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the "Warrant Shares", and together with the New Shares, the "Offered Shares"),
  
  

(together, the "Offering").

Reasons for the Issuance and Use of Proceeds of the Offering

The net proceeds from the issue of the ABSA and the PFW-BS-PFW, together with existing cash and cash equivalents, will be mainly used in the following order of priority (i) for working capital and general corporate purposes, (ii) to finance the continued development of the Viaskin Peanut program, (iii) to finance the preparation and submission of a potential BLA and, (iv) to finance the readiness of a launch of Viaskin peanut in the US, if approved.

As an indication, the aggregate net proceeds from the issue of the ABSA and the PFW-BS-PFW (including the First Pre-Funded Price (as defined below) but excluding the exercise price of the First Pre-Funded Warrants, the ABSA Warrants, the BS Warrants and the Second Pre-Funded Warrants) is expected to be approximately €106.3 million.

If all of the First Pre-Funded Warrants, the BS Warrants, the Second Pre-Funded Warrants and the ABSA Warrants are exercised, the aggregate gross proceeds are estimated to be approximately €284.5 million (estimate aggregate maximum net proceeds of approximately €264.5 million).

Working Capital Statement

The Company's current cash position (without giving effect to any potential proceeds from the Offering) is not sufficient to cover its operating needs for at least the next 12 months. As a result, there are significant uncertainties surrounding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

On the basis of its current operations, plans and assumptions and prior to the Offering, the Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents of €16.2 million at February 28, 2025 will be sufficient to fund its operations only into April 2025.

The Company estimates that (i) its net cash requirement for the next twelve months is approximately €102.4 million, and (ii) it will need an additional €86.2 million (excluding any potential proceeds from the Offering) to supplement its working capital requirements and finance its operating expenses.

Taking into account the expected net proceeds from the issuance of the ABSA and the PFW-BS-PFW and based on its current operations, plans and assumptions, the Company will have sufficient net working capital to meet its obligations over the next 12 months, and will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund its operations until June 2026.

The Company estimates that, following the issuance of all the Warrant Shares, representing an aggregate gross proceed of up to €284.5 million, the Company could extend its financial visibility into 2028 and through potential commercialization of Viaskin Peanut in the U.S, if approved.

These estimates are based on the Company’s current business plan and excludes any additional expenditures related to other programs than the Viaskin Peanut and Viaskin Milk programs or resulting from the potential in licensing or acquisition of additional product candidates or technologies, or any associated development the Company may pursue. The Company may have based these estimates on assumptions that are incorrect, and the Company may end up using its resources sooner than anticipated.

If the Company is unable to meet its financing targets, it may have to scale back its activities, notably by delaying or reducing the scope of its research and development efforts, or obtain financing through collaboration or other agreements, which could require the Company to relinquish rights to its product candidates, which the Company might otherwise seek to develop or market independently or discontinue all or part of its activities.

Main Characteristics of the Offering

Subscription and Exercise Price

The ABSA and PFW-BS-PFW were issued by decision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer dated March 27, 2025, under and within the scope of the sub-delegations of authority granted by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 27, 2025 and in accordance with the 24^th resolution of the 2024 General Meeting. The representative appointed by Baker Bros. Advisors LP and the representative of Bpifrance Participations SA to the Company’s Board of Directors did not take part in the vote on the decisions at the meeting of the Board of Directors held on March 27, 2025.

The subscription price of the ABSA (the "ABSA Price") is €1.1136 per ABSA (€0.10 par value and €1.0136 issue premium). This ABSA Price includes the fixed price per ABSA Warrant (i.e. the euro equivalent of $0.21875) required by the Nasdaq rules for each ABSA Warrant and shows a premium of 1.37% (excluding the ABSA fixed price and 23.89% including the ABSA fixed price) compared with the volume-weighted average of the ordinary share price on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris ("Euronext Paris") over five consecutive trading sessions out of the last 30 trading sessions preceding the setting of the price (i.e. the sessions of March 13, 14, 17, 18 and 19 2025) (i.e. €0.8989) (the "Reference Share Price"), and a 1.70% discount to this price including the theoretical value of 100% of an ABSA Warrant. The theoretical value of an ABSA Warrant obtained using the Black-Scholes method is €0.23, with a volatility of 59.1%.

The exercise price per ABSA Warrant is equal to €1.5939, i.e. an amount corresponding to (i) the ABSA Price less the fixed price per warrant of €0.2028 multiplied by (ii) one point seventy-five (1.75) (the "ABSA Warrants Exercise Price").

Given the specific characteristics of the PFW-BS-PFW, the price of a PFW-BS-PFW is equal to the ABSA Price and corresponds to the First Pre-Funded Price (as defined below) to be paid up on the date of issue of the PFW-BS-PFW and to the balance of the exercise price of the First Pre-Funded Warrants equal to €0.01 to be paid up on the date of exercise of the First Pre-Funded Warrants.

The exercise price per BS Warrant is equal to €1.5764, i.e. the ABSA Warrants Exercise Price less €0.0175, and corresponds to the Second Pre-Funded Price to be paid up on the date of issue of the Second Pre-Funded Warrants.

The exercise price per Second Pre-Funded Warrant is equal to €0.0175 to be paid up on the date of exercise of the Second Pre-Funded Warrants.

Main Characteristics of the First Pre-Funded Warrants and the Second Pre-Funded Warrants

The main feature of the First Pre-Funded Warrants and the Second Pre-Funded Warrants is that their aggregate price, i.e. €1.1136 and €1.5939 respectively, is prefunded in the amount of €1.1036 (the "First Pre-Funded Price") and €1.5764 (the "Second Pre-Funded Price" and each of the First Pre-Funded Price and Second Pre-Funded Price, a "Pre-Funded Price") respectively (i.e. the relevant exercise price less (i) €0.01 for each First Pre-Funded Warrant or (ii) €0.0175 for each Second Pre-Funded Warrant) on their date of issue (at the time of subscription) and not on their date of exercise. Payment of a Pre-Funded Price is final and irrevocable.

The First Pre-Funded Warrants and Second Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable in cash from their date of issue until April 7, 2035 (the "Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Period").

The exercise of (i) one (1) First Pre-Funded Warrant will give the right to subscribe to one (1) First PFW Share (the “First Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Ratio”) and (ii) one (1) Second Pre-Funded Warrant will give the right to subscribe to one point seventy five (1.75) Second PFW Shares (the “Second Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Ratio”), in each case at an aggregate price of €1.1136 and €1.5939 per warrant respectively, it being specified that (i) as the exercise prices have been prefunded on the respective dates of issue of the First Pre-Funded Warrants and the Second Pre-Funded Warrants up to the relevant Pre-Funded Price, only the balance (corresponding to an amount equal to (i) €0.01 per First Pre-Funded Warrant and (ii) €0.0175 per Second Pre-Funded Warrant) will have to be paid up on the date on which the First Pre-Funded Warrants and the Second Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised, and (ii) the First Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Ratio and the Second Pre-Funded Warrant Exercise Ratio may be adjusted following any transactions carried out by the Company involving its share capital or reserves in order to maintain the rights of the holders of the First Pre-Funded Warrants and the Second Pre-Funded Warrants, in accordance with applicable regulations.

No fractional shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of First Pre-Funded Warrant and Second Pre-Funded Warrants, provided that the number of shares to be delivered in respect of any exercise of one or more First Pre-Funded Warrants or Second Pre-Funded Warrants pursuant to any exercise notice shall be rounded down to the nearest whole multiple of one share.

If the Company carries out any of the transactions referred to in Articles L. 228-99 and L. 228-101 of the French Commercial Code, the rights of holders of the First Pre-Funded Warrants and Second Pre-Funded Warrants will be maintained in accordance with said articles.

Main Characteristics of the ABSA Warrants

The ABSA Warrants will be detached from the New Shares as soon as they are issued.

The ABSA Warrants will entitle their holders, at their discretion, to subscribe for new shares of the Company. The ABSA Warrants will be exercisable from their respective date of issue until the earlier of (i) April 7, 2027 and (ii) 30 days following the publication by the Company of a press release announcing that the ongoing VITESSE trial of Viaskin peanut in 4-7 years old met the primary endpoint defined in the VITESSE study protocol, it being specified that (i) the primary measure of treatment effect will be the difference in response rates at Month 12 between active and placebo treatment groups, (ii) the primary analysis will be based on a 2-sided confidence interval ("CI") for the difference in response rates and (iii) the primary analysis must be positive according to the success criterion (lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI of the difference in response rates ≥ 15%) (the "ABSA Warrant Exercise Period"). The exercise of one (1) ABSA Warrant will give the right to subscribe to one point seventy-five (1.75) ABSA Warrant Shares at a price of €1.5939 per ABSA Warrant.

No fractional shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of ABSA Warrants, provided that the number of shares to be delivered in respect of any exercise of one or more ABSA Warrants pursuant to any exercise notice shall be rounded down to the nearest whole multiple of one share.

If the Company carries out any of the transactions referred to in Articles L. 228-99 and L. 228-101 of the French Commercial Code, the rights of the holders of the ABSA Warrants will be maintained in accordance with said articles.

Main Characteristics of the BS Warrants

The BS Warrants will be detached from the First Pre-Funded Warrants as soon as they are issued.

The BS Warrants will entitle their holders, at their discretion, to subscribe for Second Pre-Funded Warrants. The BS Warrants will have the same exercise period as the ABSA Warrants. The exercise of a BS Warrant will entitle their holders to subscribe to one (1) Second Pre-Funded Warrants allowing to subscribe to one point seventy five (1.75) Second PFW Shares. The exercise price per BS Warrant is equal to €1.5764 and corresponds to the Second Pre-Funded Price to be paid up on the date of issue of the Second Pre-Funded Warrants.

Representation of Holders

Holders of ABSA Warrants, BS Warrants, First Pre-Funded Warrants and Second Pre-Funded Warrants will each be grouped automatically for the defense of their common interests in a masse. The masses will act, in part, through a representative and, in part, through collective decisions of the relevant holders.
