Following the additional closing, the total number of ordinary shares issued amounts to 8,395,000, including 6,540,000 in the form of ADSs, bringing the gross proceeds of the Global Offering to approximately $113.3 million (€93.5 million1) and the aggregate net proceeds to Nanobiotix, after deducting underwriting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by Nanobiotix, will be approximately $100.4 million(€82.8 million)2.
