Jefferies, TD Cowen and Stifel are acting as global coordinators and joint bookrunners for the Global Offering. The Global Offering would be subject to an underwriting agreement. The underwriting agreement would 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).
In connection with the Global Offering, the Company intends to grant 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, in accordance with delegation granted by the Company’s combined shareholders’ meeting held on May 19, 2025 (the "Shareholders’ Meeting") in its 36th resolution.
The Ordinary Shares (including in the form of ADSs) and the PFW to be issued in the Global Offering will be issued without preferential subscription rights for existing shareholders by way of a capital increase pursuant to the delegation granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting in its 29th resolution.
All securities to be issued in the Global Offering will be offered by the Company. The Company’s ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "NBTX." The Company’s Ordinary Shares are listed on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris ("Euronext") under the symbol "NANO." The Company does not intend to list the PFW on any domestic or foreign securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
The final amount of the Global Offering, the offering price in the U.S. Offering in U.S. dollars and the offering price in the International Offering in euros, as well as the final number of ADSs, Ordinary Shares and PFW issued in the Global Offering will be determined following a book-building process commencing immediately. The Company will announce the results of the Global Offering as well as the number and subscription price of the Ordinary Shares, ADSs and PFW to be issued in the context of the Global Offering as soon as practicable after pricing thereof in a subsequent press release.
The number of securities issued in the Global Offering will be determined by the Company’s Executive Board in accordance with the delegations granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting, pursuant to its 29th and 39th resolutions.
The offering price of each Ordinary Share to be issued in the International Offering will be in euros and at least equal to the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares on Euronext over the last three trading sessions preceding the pricing of the Global Offering (i.e., May 18, May 19 and May 20, 2026), subject to a maximum 15% discount. The offering price of each ADS in the U.S. Offering will be the U.S. dollars equivalent of the offering price per Ordinary Share in euros in the International Offering.
The subscription price of each PFW to subscribe for one Ordinary Share will be in euros and equal to the subscription price per Ordinary Share to be paid on the date of issue of the PFW, minus €0.03 to be paid on the date of exercise of the PFW.
Each PFW will allow its holder to subscribe to one Ordinary Share at a price of €0.03.
The PFW are exercisable in cash during a ten-year period from their date of issue.
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.
Ordinary Shares (including those underlying ADS) issued in the Global Offering will be subject to an application for admission to trading on Euronext on the same trading line as the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company currently listed on Euronext, under the same ISIN code FR0011341205. The Global Offering will begin immediately following the publication of this press release and is expected to price before the U.S. markets open on May 21, 2026, subject to any early closing of the bookbuilding process. Following pricing of the offering in the United States, the trading of Nanobiotix’s Ordinary Shares on Euronext will be suspended on the immediately following trading day in Paris from the opening of Euronext until the opening of trading of Nanobiotix’s ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Select Market at approximately 3:30 pm (Paris time) / 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on such trading day, prior to which Nanobiotix will publish the allocation of share capital to be effective following settlement and delivery of the securities issued in the Global Offering.
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 the 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.
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 pricing of the Global Offering, 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 pricing of the Global Offering, subject to customary exceptions.

This transaction is not subject to the preparation of a prospectus requiring an approval by the AMF pursuant to the Prospectus Regulation, nor to the filing with the AMF of a document containing the information set out in Annex IX of the Prospectus Regulation.
