The subscription price of €33.60 per Ordinary Share, corresponding to the offering price of $38.98 per ADS based on an exchange rate of €1.00 = $1.16 as published by the European Central Bank on May 20, 2026, is equal to the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris ("Euronext") over the last three trading sessions preceding the pricing of the Global Offering (i.e. May 18, May 19 and May 20, 2026), less a discount of 14.92% and has been determined by the Company pursuant to the 29th resolution of the Company’s combined shareholders’ meeting held on May 19, 2025 (the "Shareholders’ Meeting"). The subscription price of each PFW is equal to the subscription price per Ordinary Share issued in the International Offering minus €0.03.
The aggregate gross proceeds of the Global Offering are expected to be approximately $98.6 million, equivalent to approximately €85.0 million, of which approximately €73.4 million in respect of the U.S. Offering and the International Offering and €11.6 million in respect of the PFW, before deduction of underwriting commissions in respect of the Global Offering and estimated expenses related to the Global offering, assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) in respect of the Global Offering. If all of the PFW are exercised, the aggregate gross proceeds are expected to be approximately $12k, equivalent to approximately €10k.
Jefferies, TD Cowen and Stifel are acting as global coordinators and joint bookrunners for the Global Offering.
The Global Offering is subject to an underwriting agreement, which was entered into on May 21, 2026. The underwriting agreement does not constitute a performance guarantee (garantie de bonne fin) within the meaning of Article L. 225-145 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce).
Type of Offering
The issuance of 2,184,662 Ordinary Shares (including in the form of ADSs) and 345,099 PFW in the Global Offering has been decided on the date hereof by the Company’s Executive Board, without preferential subscription rights for existing shareholders, pursuant to the delegation granted to it by the Shareholders’ Meeting in its 29th resolution.
Main Terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants
The subscription price of each PFW is €33.57 (corresponding to $38.94), which equal to the subscription price per Ordinary Share issued in the Global Offering minus €0.03.
Each PFW will allow its holder to subscribe to one Ordinary Share at a price of €0.03.
The PFW are exercisable in cash from their date of issue until May 26, 2036.
The PFW are securities giving access to the capital within the meaning of Article L. 228-91 of the French Commercial Code. They will be issued in dematerialized form and held in pure registered form (au nominatif pur) in the securities account opened in the name of the holder thereof in the books of the Company’s account keeper.
No fractional shares shall be issuable upon the exercise of PFW, provided that the number of shares to be delivered in respect of any exercise of one or more PFW 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 PFW will be maintained in accordance with said articles.
The PFW will not be admitted to trading on Euronext or on any domestic or foreign securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. The shares issued upon the exercise of PFW (the "PFW Shares") will be held, at the option of the holder, in registered form (au nominatif) or in bearer form (au porteur). As soon as they are issued, the PFW Shares will be automatically assimilated to the Company’s ordinary shares and will be admitted to trading on Euronext under the same ISIN number.
The PFW holders will be grouped automatically for the defense of their common interests in a masse. The masse will act, in part, through a representative and, in part, through collective decisions of the holders.
Expected Closing
The Global Offering is expected to close on May 26, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Option to Purchase Additional Shares
In connection with the Global Offering, the Company has granted the underwriters for the Global Offering a 30-day option to purchase additional ADSs, in an amount of up to 15% of the total number of ADSs issued in the Global Offering, on the same terms and conditions as in the Global Offering, in accordance with the delegation granted by Shareholders’ Meeting in its 36th resolution (the "Over-Allotment Option"). The Company will announce the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and the number ADSs to be issued in connection therewith, if any, as soon as practicable thereafter in a subsequent press release.
Stabilization
In connection with the Global Offering, Jefferies LLC, acting as stabilization agent, may effect transactions with a view to supporting, stabilizing, or maintaining the market price of such securities at a level higher than which might otherwise prevail in the Company’s ADS market. However, there is no assurance that the stabilization agent will take any stabilization action and, if begun, such stabilization action may be ended at any time without prior notice. Any stabilization action or over-allotment shall be carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations and may be undertaken on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Estimated Proceeds from the Global Offering
The aggregate gross proceeds from the Global Offering are expected to be approximately $98.6 million, equivalent to approximately €85.0 million, of which approximately €73.4 million in respect of the U.S. Offering and the International Offering and €11.6 million in respect of the PFW, before deducting underwriting commissions in respect of the Global Offering and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in connection with the Global Offering. If all of the PFW are exercised, the estimated gross proceeds received by the Company from the Global Offering would be expected to be approximately $12k, equivalent to approximately €10k. If the Company issues additional ADSs pursuant to the exercise in full of the Over-Allotment Option in connection with the Global Offering, the estimated gross proceeds received by the Company from the Global Offering would be expected to be approximately $100 million, equivalent to approximately €87.8 million, before deducting underwriting commissions in respect of the Global Offering and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Global Offering as follows:
less than 10% to support the development and advancement of JNJ-1900 (NBTXR3);
between 50-60% to advance our Nanoprimer and other platforms; and
between 30-40% for general corporate purposes.
The expected use of proceeds represents the Company’s intentions based upon its current plans and business conditions. The Company cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of Global Offering or the amounts that the Company will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of the Company’s actual expenditures and the extent of clinical development may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the progress of the development efforts, the status of and results from preclinical studies and any ongoing clinical trials or clinical trials the Company may commence in the future, as well as any collaborations that the Company may enter into with third parties for its product candidates and any unforeseen cash needs. As a result, the Company’s management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds.
The Company believes that the net proceeds from the Global Offering, together with its cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for operations into 2029, consistent with the Company’s currently contemplated cash burn rate.
The Company’s estimates of the period of time through which its financial resources are expected to be adequate to meet its working capital requirements are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, as described under "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
Lock-up
In connection with the Global Offering, the Company’s executive board members and supervisory board members are subject to a contractual lock-up for a period of 90 days after the date hereof, subject to customary exceptions, including an exception for the purpose of financing the exercise price of stock options and/or satisfying any applicable taxes due in connection with such exercise. The Company has also agreed to be bound by a contractual lock-up for a period of 90 days after the date hereof, subject to customary exceptions.
