Dear Fellow DBV Shareholders,
Each year, I begin my letter to you with the reminder that DBV was founded upon the belief that children living with food allergies, their families, and the clinicians who treat them need, and deserve, treatment options. That belief remains the core tenet of DBV today – it guides our corporate strategy as the Company progresses to commercialization with disciplined execution.
***
In recapping what has been a defining year for DBV, I must begin with the positive topline results from our Phase 3 VITESSE trial evaluating the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch in children aged 4 to 7 years. This result represents a milestone that the Company has worked towards over several years with passion. The VITESSE trial was designed with rigor and powered appropriately to support a successful outcome, reflecting the discipline of our development strategy and the careful execution of all those involved. The achievement of this milestone has provided the foundation required to advance the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch toward potential commercialization. We are on track to submit the Biologics License Application in the United States in the first half of this year.
In parallel, the Company made significant progress in the toddler population with the advancement of the COMFORT Toddlers supplemental safety trial of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch in children aged 1 to 3 years. Through extensive and constructive dialogue with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Company secured alignment on a path forward for this program and was able to have the first patient screened less than 4 months later. Notably, the eagerness of investigators and clinical sites to participate has been encouraging, and the interest we’ve seen from caregivers reinforces the unmet need for proactive treatment options in this patient population. The execution of the study, including the efficient management of rolling site activations, further demonstrates the Company’s operational capabilities and the discipline of its teams in advancing complex clinical programs.
Specifically, I’d like to highlight THRIVE. This first-of-its-kind study in infants aged 6 through 12 months, is designed to evaluate the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch to achieve adlib consumption or the ability to eat peanut freely. This first-of-its-kind study is an example of the Company’s continued commitment to the food allergy community and its pursuit to provide treatment options that have the potential to meaningfully change the trajectory and reduce the life-long burden of food allergy.
***
This commitment to advancing care is not only the right thing to do, it is increasingly aligned with the broader public health and regulatory environment. In February 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration convened an expert panel on food allergies, bringing together scientific, clinical, and patient advocacy voices for a robust academic discussion on the current and future state of the field. The outcome highlighted the need for continued innovation and a greater emphasis on earlier intervention. It’s encouraging to hear these conversations further validate VIASKIN as a platform technology and the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch’s potential as a blockbuster product, once approved.
At the same time, the Company has continued to benefit from close and constructive engagement with the leading scientific, medical, and patient advocacy communities dedicated to advancing the understanding and management of food allergy. Through longstanding relationships with professional societies and advocacy organizations, DBV Technologies has remained an active participant in the ever-evolving dialogue shaping clinical practice and patient experience. The team has started to feature the robust results from VITESSE at recent medical conferences. Physicians and patient advocacy groups have received these results well and remain enthusiastic about the potential for our science to transform into an approved treatment option for patients.

DBV is still a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company and as such may need additional funding to support its growth. Execution of the Company’s financing strategy is an important highlight of the past year. Through disciplined planning, strong investor engagement, and the ability of the leadership team to operate effectively under pressure, the Company raised $386.2 million in capital between March 2025 and January 2026. As disclosed in the Company’s Q1 2026 press release, this has provided the necessary funding to support its operations into the second quarter of 2027, including the potential US launch of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch. The alignment between the Company and its investors, both new and old, on the near-term path to potential commercialization and the broader vision for the VIASKIN platform cannot be understated.
***
Looking ahead, DBV Technologies is poised to become a commercial company: it enters this period of growth and change supported by a strengthened financial position, expanded organizational capabilities, and a clear focus on disciplined execution. With conviction, DBV remains a champion of clinical science and to addressing the urgent unmet medical need that exists for food allergic patients and their families. The work we do matters and has impact. DBV is committed to bringing the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch to potential approval in the United States. As I have stated before, I state again: our confidence in the significant therapeutic and commercial potential of the VIASKIN® Peanut Patch, and in the broader VIASKIN technology platform, is unwavering.
Sincerely,
| /s/ Michel de Rosen |

Why is the Company soliciting my proxy?
Our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2026 Annual General Meeting to be held at the Company’s headquarters located at 107 avenue de la République, 92320 Châtillon, France, on June 3, 2026, at 10:00 AM Paris time. This proxy statement, along with the accompanying notice of the 2026 Annual General Meeting, summarizes the purposes of the meeting and the information you need to know to vote at the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
We have sent you this proxy statement, the notice of the 2026 Annual General Meeting, the proxy card and a copy of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, because you owned our Ordinary Shares or ADSs on April 23, 2026. Our Depositary, Citibank, N.A., intends to commence mailing the proxy materials to holders of our ADSs on May 12, 2026. Our registrar, Société Générale Securities Services, intends to commence distribution of the proxy materials to shareholders of Ordinary Shares on May 13, 2026.
Who may vote?
Ordinary shareholders of record and bearer shareholders
If you are a holder of Ordinary Shares at zero hour Paris time on May 27, 2026, you will be eligible to vote at the 2026 Annual General Meeting. In deciding all matters at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, each shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each Ordinary Share held by them on the Ordinary Share Record Date (as defined hereunder).
In accordance with article R. 22-10-28 of the French Commercial Code, only those holders of Ordinary Shares who can prove their status by having their shares registered in their name, or in the name of an intermediary duly registered on their behalf, on the fifth business day prior to the meeting, i.e. May 27, 2026 at zero hour Paris time (the “Ordinary Share Record Date”), either in the registered share accounts or in the bearer share accounts held by their authorized intermediary, will be eligible to vote.
For registered shareholders, this registration in the registered share accounts on the Ordinary Share Record Date is sufficient to enable them to vote their Ordinary Shares.
For bearer shareholders, it is the authorized intermediaries who maintain the bearer share accounts who directly prove their clients’ status as shareholders to Société Générale Securities Services (the centralizing institution for the Annual General Meeting mandated by the Company) by producing a certificate of participation which they attach to the single postal voting or proxy form drawn up in the name of the shareholder or on behalf of the shareholder represented by the registered intermediary, or show in person on the day of the Annual General Meeting.
Holders of American Depositary Shares
If you are a registered holder of ADSs on the books of the Depositary on April 23, 2026 (the “ADS Record Date”), then at or prior to 10:00 AM (New York City time) on May 27, 2026, you may provide instructions to the Depositary as to how to vote the Ordinary Shares underlying your ADSs on the issues set forth in this proxy statement. The Depositary will mail you a voting instruction card if you hold ADSs in your own name on the Depositary’s share register (“Registered Holders”). If, however, on the ADS Record Date you held your ADSs through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee/agent (“Beneficial Holders”), it is anticipated that such bank, broker, custodian or nominee/agent will forward voting instruction forms to you.
| • | Registered Holders. Registered Holders of ADSs must complete, sign and return a voting instruction form to be actually received by the Depositary on or prior to 10:00 AM (New York City time) on May 27, 2026. |
| • | Beneficial Holders. If ADSs are held on your behalf in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of those ADSs held in “street name,” and this proxy |

| statement was forwarded to you by your broker or nominee. A holder of ADSs held through a broker, bank or other nominee should follow the instructions that its broker, bank or other nominee provides to vote the Ordinary Shares underlying its ADSs. |
As an ADS holder, you will not be entitled to vote in person at the Annual General Meeting. To the extent you provide the Depositary or your broker, bank or other nominee, as applicable, with voting instructions, the Depositary will, to the extent practicable and subject to French law and the terms of the deposit agreement, vote the Ordinary Shares underlying your ADSs in accordance with your instructions.
How many votes do I have?
Each Ordinary Share that you own entitles you to one vote. Each ADS represents five Ordinary Shares. Voting instructions with respect to ADSs may be given only in respect of a number of ADSs representing an integral number of Ordinary Shares.
How will my Ordinary Shares be voted if I do not vote?
If you hold Ordinary Shares and do not (i) grant your voting proxy directly to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) vote in person at the Annual General Meeting, (iii) grant your voting proxy to another shareholder, or to any other specifically designated person, (iv) vote by submitting your proxy card by mail or (v) vote electronically via Votaccess, your Ordinary Shares will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote with respect to any matter.
If you hold Ordinary Shares and grant your voting proxy directly to the Chairman of the Board of Directors without specifying how you wish to vote with respect to a particular matter, your Ordinary Shares will be voted in accordance with the Board of Directors’ recommendations.
If you own Ordinary Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee and you do not direct your broker how to vote your shares on the proposals, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is referred to as a broker non-vote. We believe that all of our proposals are non-routine matters and your broker cannot vote your shares for which you have not provided voting instructions. Broker non-votes on a particular proposal will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote with respect to such matter.
How will the Ordinary Shares underlying my ADSs be voted if I do not provide voting instructions to the Depositary or my broker, bank or other nominee?
With respect to Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs for which no timely voting instructions are received by the Depositary from a holder of ADSs, the Depositary shall not vote such Ordinary Shares. The Depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion in respect of any Ordinary Shares.
If you own ADSs in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee and you do not direct your broker how to instruct the Depositary how to vote the Ordinary Shares represented by your ADSs on the proposals, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which the broker does not have discretionary authority to provide voting instructions to the Depositary. This is referred to as a broker non-vote. We believe that all of our proposals are non-routine matters and your broker cannot provide voting instructions to the Depositary with respect to how to vote the Ordinary Shares represented by your ADSs for which you have not provided voting instructions. Broker non-votes on a particular proposal will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote with respect to such matter.
How will my Ordinary Shares be voted if I grant my proxy to the Chairman of the Board of Directors?
If you are a holder of Ordinary Shares and you grant your proxy to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, he will vote your Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Board of Directors’ recommendations. As a result, your
12
Table of Contents
Ordinary Shares would be voted “FOR” the nominees of the Board of Directors in Proposals Nos. 7 to 10 and “FOR” each of Proposals Nos. 1 to 6 and 11 to 40.
How many votes are needed for approval of each proposed resolution?
| • | Proposals Nos. 1 to 19 and Proposal 40: The affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of votes cast is required for the ratification/election of each director nominee in Proposals Nos. 7 to 10 and for the approval of each matter described in Proposals Nos. 1 to 6, 11 to 19, and 40. |
| • | Proposals Nos. 20 to 39: For approval of Proposals Nos. 20 to 39, the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the total number of votes cast is required. |
What is an “abstention” and how would it affect the vote?
With respect to Ordinary Shares, an “abstention” occurs when a shareholder votes by mail with instructions to abstain from voting regarding a particular matter or without making a selection with respect to a particular matter.
With respect to ADSs, an abstention occurs when a holder of ADSs sends proxy instructions to the Depositary to abstain from voting regarding a particular matter.
Abstentions by holders of Ordinary Shares or by holders of ADSs will not be counted toward a quorum of the proposed resolution and will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on matters on which a holder has abstained.
Who will count the votes at the Annual General Meeting?
Representatives of Société Générale Securities Services, under the supervision of the 2026 Annual General Meeting’s bureau, will tabulate the votes and act as inspectors of the election.
What constitutes a quorum for the Annual General Meeting?
Consistent with French law, our by-laws provide that a quorum requires the presence of shareholders having at least:
| (1) | 20% of the shares entitled to vote in the case of an ordinary shareholders’ general meeting or at an extraordinary shareholders’ general meeting where shareholders are voting on a capital increase by capitalization of reserves, profits or share premium, or |
| (2) | 25% of the shares entitled to vote in the case of any other extraordinary shareholders’ general meeting. |
If the required quorum is not present at the first convening of the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors may convene a second general meeting. At such second convening, under French law: (i) no quorum is required for an ordinary shareholders’ meeting; and (ii) a quorum of 20% of the shares entitled to vote is required for any other extraordinary shareholders’ meeting. If the quorum requirement for the second convening of an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting is not met, the meeting may be adjourned to a date no later than two months after the date for which it was called. Shareholders should be aware that, as a result of these rules, resolutions may be adopted at a second convening or adjourned meeting by a smaller proportion of the Company’s outstanding shares than would have been required at the first convening.
How can I vote my Ordinary Shares or ADSs?
If you hold Ordinary Shares
In order to facilitate their participation in the Annual General Meeting, the Company offers its holders of Ordinary Shares the possibility of voting via Votaccess.

The final voting results will also be published in a press release and under the section General Meeting of the Company’s website within fifteen days following the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
What are the costs of soliciting these proxies?
We will pay all of the costs of soliciting these proxies. Our directors and employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, fax or email. We will pay these employees and directors no additional compensation for these services. We will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward these proxy materials to their principals and to obtain authority to execute proxies. We will then reimburse them for their expenses.
Where is the Annual General Meeting?
The 2026 Annual General Meeting will be held at 10:00 AM, Paris time, on June 3, 2026 at the Company’s headquarters located at 107, avenue de la République, 92320 Châtillon, France, and webcast with live audio on the Company’s website http://www.dbv-technologies.com, including the presentation of the results of the votes on the resolutions received by Société Générale Securities Services (if possible). Shareholders will also be able to access the recorded webcast of the Annual General Meeting on the Company’s website for at least the minimum legal and regulatory period from its publication online.
Who may attend the Annual General Meeting?
Holders of record of Ordinary Shares as of zero hour, Paris time, on May 27, 2026 or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the Annual General Meeting. Holders of Ordinary Shares may request an admission card for the Annual General Meeting by checking the appropriate box on the proxy form, dating and signing it, and returning the proxy form by regular mail or may present evidence of their status as a shareholder at the Annual General Meeting as of zero hour, Paris time, on May 27, 2026, or by showing identification on the day of the Annual General Meeting and attending in person.
Holders of ADSs will not be able to attend the Annual General Meeting.
Can I vote in person at the Annual General Meeting?
If you hold Ordinary Shares as of zero hour, Paris time, on May 27, 2026, you may vote in person at the Annual General Meeting unless you submit your proxy or voting instructions prior to the Annual General Meeting.
If you hold ADSs, you will not be able to vote the Ordinary Shares underlying your ADSs in person at the Annual General Meeting.
I share an address with another holder of ADSs, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?
SEC rules concerning the delivery of annual disclosure documents allow us or your broker to send a single set of our proxy materials to any household at which two or more of our ADS holders of record reside, if we or

your broker believe that the ADS holders of record are members of the same family. This practice, referred to as “householding,” benefits both you and us. It reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps to reduce our expenses. The rule applies to our annual reports, proxy statements and information statements. Once you receive notice from your broker or from us that communications to your address will be “householded,” the practice will continue until you are otherwise notified or until you revoke your consent to the practice. ADS holders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.
If a broker or other nominee holds your ADSs and (1) your household received a single set of proxy materials this year, but you would prefer to receive your own copy or you do not wish to participate in householding and would like to receive your own set of our proxy materials in future years or (2) you share an address with another ADS holder and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of proxy materials, please contact the broker or other nominee directly and inform them of your request, or contact us by directing your written request to DBV Technologies, S.A., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 107 avenue de la République 92320 Châtillon, France, or by contacting our Investor Relations department at +1 848-388-4584 or by email to investors@dbv-technologies.com. Be sure to include your name, the name of your brokerage firm and your account number.
Can I receive Company shareholder communications by electronic delivery?
Most shareholders can elect to view or receive copies of future proxy materials over the Internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail. You can choose this option and save us the cost of producing and mailing these documents by following the instructions provided on your proxy card or by following the instructions provided when you vote over the Internet.
Where can I find documents referenced in this proxy statement?
An English translation of the full text of the resolutions to be submitted to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting is included in Annex A of this proxy statement, and this proxy statement will be accompanied by the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Board of Directors Composition and Functioning
The composition and functioning of the Board of Directors comply with all applicable requirements of the French Commercial Code, the Middlenext Code, the Exchange Act, and Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations. Our Board of Directors operates pursuant to Rules of Procedure adopted by the Board of Directors and last amended on December 7, 2023. A copy of the Board Rules of Procedure is available on the Corporate Governance section of our website at https://www.dbv-technologies.com.
Director Independence and Independence Determinations
The Board shall assess the independence of each Director when she/he is first appointed, and at least annually.
In determining independence, the Board considers the definitions of independence set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Exchange Act, and the Middlenext Code, as well as other factors that will contribute to effective oversight and decision-making by the Board. The independence criteria set out in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and in the Middlenext Code are detailed in the Board Rules of Procedure.
The Board must be composed of (a) not less than a majority of independent Directors within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, subject to any exceptions permitted by the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the Securities Exchange Act, and (b) at least two (2) independent members within the meaning of the Middlenext Code (which independent members may be the same as the independent Directors under the Nasdaq Listing Rules).
In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules and Middlenext Code, a Director shall be considered independent if she/he does not have any relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a Director. In addition, in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, to be considered independent, a Director shall not be subject to any of the mandatory bars to independence set forth in Rule 5605(a) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and Rule 3 of the Middlenext Code.
In addition, in assessing independence, our Board of Directors considered the relationships that each non-employee Director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining the Director’s independence, including the number of Ordinary Shares the Director and his or her affiliated entities (if any) may beneficially own.
After review of all relevant identified transactions or relationships between each Director, or any of his or her family members, and us, our senior management and our independent auditors, the Board has affirmatively determined (i) all of our Directors, as follows, including Daniel Soland, who left the Board of Directors on September 18, 2025, and other than Daniel Tassé, are independent Directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq Listing Standards: Michel de Rosen; Maïlys Ferrère; Michael J.

Director Nomination Process and Qualifications
We currently have ten Directors, five of whom are citizens or residents of the United States. Under French law and our by-laws, our Board of Directors must be composed of between three and eighteen members. Within this limit, the number of Directors is determined by the ordinary general meeting, upon proposal of the Board of Directors. The number of Directors of each gender may not be less than 40%, in compliance with articles L 225-18-1 and L 22-10-3 of the French Commercial Code. Any appointment made in violation of this limit that is not remedied will be null and void. Directors are elected, re-elected and may be removed at an ordinary general meeting with a simple majority vote of our shareholders.
Pursuant to our by-laws, the term of a Director is three years, subject to a lesser period which could either be one- or two-year(s) for the purpose of a staggered Board. In accordance with French law, our by-laws also provide that our Directors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the shareholders of at least a majority of the votes of the shareholders present, represented by a proxy or voting by mail at the relevant ordinary general meeting, and that any vacancy on our Board of Directors resulting from the death or resignation of a Director, provided there are at least three Directors remaining, may be filled by vote of a majority of our Directors then in office provided that there has been no shareholders meeting since such death or resignation. Directors chosen or appointed to fill a vacancy shall be elected by the Board of Directors for the remaining duration of the current term of the replaced Director. The appointment must then be ratified at the next shareholders’ ordinary general meeting. In the event the Board of Directors would be composed of less than three Directors as a result of a vacancy, the remaining Directors shall immediately convene a shareholders’ meeting to elect one or several new Directors so there are at least three Directors serving on the Board of Directors, in accordance with French law. The number of Directors aged over 80 cannot exceed one third of the Board of Directors.
In accordance with Articles L.225-105 and R.225-71 of the French Commercial Code, one or more shareholders holding at least 5% of the share capital may request the inclusion of additional items or draft resolutions on the agenda of the General Meeting, including draft resolutions relating to the appointment of a Director.
To propose the appointment of a Director, shareholders must send to the Company’s registered office by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, at least twenty-five days prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the wording of the proposed draft resolution, together with (i) a justification of the shareholding, (ii) a justification for the inclusion of this resolution on the agenda, (iii) a brief statement of reasons, and (iv) all information regarding the director candidate required under applicable law and corporate governance rules.
The Company will publish and submit to the Annual General Meeting any admissible draft resolutions thus requested, in accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions in force.
The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders in the same manner as candidates identified by the Committee or the Board of Directors. Shareholders who wish to recommend a candidate for consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee may do so by following the procedures set forth above for the inclusion of draft resolutions on the agenda of the Annual General Meeting. The Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates all candidates, whether identified by the Committee, the Board or recommended by shareholders, using the same criteria, including the minimum qualifications and other factors described under “Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees” below.
Board Leadership Structure
In accordance with article L225-51-1 of the French Commercial Code, our Board is empowered to determine whether the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be combined or separated, based on what it believes is in the best interests of the Company at a given point in time.

Michel de Rosen has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors since March 4, 2019. He is an independent Director under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and Middlenext Code. Michel de Rosen’s Director mandate was renewed at the June 11, 2025, Annual General Meeting and his position as Chairman of the Board at the June 11, 2025, Board meeting. While Michel de Rosen provides independent leadership, he also works closely with our Chief Executive Officer to ensure that our Directors receive the information that they need to perform their responsibilities, including discussing and providing critical review of the matters that come before the Board and assessing management’s performance.
The Board believes that separation of the positions of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer reinforces the independence of the Board in its oversight of the business and affairs of the Company. In addition, the Company believes that having an independent Chairman creates an environment that is more conducive to the Board’s objective evaluation and oversight of management’s performance, increasing management accountability, and improving the ability of the Board to monitor whether management’s actions are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, including with respect to evaluating whether the steps taken by management to manage risks are appropriate for the Company.
Board Meeting Attendance
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Board of Directors held 24 meetings (including regularly scheduled, special meetings and written consultations), and each Director attended at least (i) 94% of the total number of meetings of our Board of Directors held during the period for which he or she has been a Director and (ii) 100% of the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served as required under the Board Rules of Procedure.
We encourage, but do not require, members of our Board of Directors to attend our Annual General Meetings. Most of our Directors attended the General Meeting of June 11, 2025.
Board Committees
The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee, each of which operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by our Board of Directors that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The composition and functioning of all of our committees complies with all applicable requirements of the French Commercial Code, the Middlenext Code, the Exchange Act, Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations.
Subject to the following paragraph concerning the Audit Committee, in accordance with French law, committees of our Board of Directors only have an advisory role on matters requiring approval of the Board of Directors under French law and can only make recommendations to our Board of Directors on such matters. As a result, decisions are made by our Board of Directors taking into account non-binding recommendations of the relevant Board committee.

Audit Committee
Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq Listing Rules. A copy of the charter of our Audit Committee is available on the Corporate Governance section of our website at https://www.dbv-technologies.com.
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our Audit Committee held 7 meetings.
The Audit Committee is composed entirely of independent Directors in accordance with applicable law, including the French Commercial Code, the Middlenext Code and Nasdaq Listing Rules. All members of the Audit Committee shall be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, at least one (1) of the Directors who is independent must qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and shall be a member of the Audit Committee as described below. A person who satisfies the definition of “audit committee financial expert” will also be presumed to have financial sophistication. In order to comply with Article L.823-19 II of the French Commercial Code, such person shall also have an outstanding knowledge in the field of finance, accounting and audit of accounts (compétences particulières en matière financière, comptable ou de contrôle légal des comptes).
Mr. Morris, Ms. Ndu, and Ms. Guyot-Caparros currently serve on our Audit Committee. Mr. Morris is the chairman of our Audit Committee since October 3, 2022. Our Board has determined that each of Mr. Morris, Ms. Ndu, and Ms. Guyot-Caparros is independent within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rules and the independence requirements contemplated by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Our Board of Directors has further determined that each member of the Audit Committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement, as required by Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(2)(A). Our Board of Directors has further determined that Mr. Morris is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules and regulations and that Mr. Morris qualifies as financially sophisticated under the applicable exchange listing rules.
In compliance with Article L.823-19 II of the French Commercial Code and Rule 7 of the Middlenext Code, at least one of the Board’s independent Directors has specific expertise in financial, accounting or statutory auditing.
Our Audit Committee has the following responsibilities, pursuant to the provisions of Article L.823-19 II of the French Commercial Code:
| • | monitoring the process of preparing the financial information and, where appropriate, make recommendations to ensure its integrity; |
| • | monitoring the efficiency of risk management and internal control systems, as well as that of internal audits if applicable, with regard to the preparation and processing of financial and accounting information, without prejudice to its independence; |

Our Audit Committee has, in addition to the legal provisions mentioned above, the main following responsibilities:
| • | reviewing and discussing the oversight of cybersecurity and data privacy matters, including the Company’s guidelines and policies with respect to data privacy, technology and information security risks, and the steps taken by management to monitor and control such exposures; |

In addition to the functions referred to above, our Board of Directors entrusts the following specific missions to our Audit Committee:
With regard to our financial statements:
| • | to examine and verify our draft budgets and draft annual and interim financial statements before they are sent to the Board of Directors; |

| • | to review and oversee all related-party transactions, including related person transactions as defined under SEC Regulation S-K Item 404 and under article L. 225-38 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, in accordance with our internal policy. |
Board of Directors and Audit Committee Risk Oversight
Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for the oversight of our risk management activities and has delegated to the Audit Committee the responsibility to assist our Board in this task. While our Board oversees periodically our risk management, our management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes and keeping the Company’s risk register, including, without limitation, management of cybersecurity, data privacy, and information technology risks and procedures. Our Board of Directors expects our management to consider risk and risk management in each business decision, to proactively develop and monitor risk management strategies and processes for day-to-day activities and to effectively implement risk management strategies adopted by the Board of Directors. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks we face.
Board of Directors and Audit Committee Cybersecurity Oversight
The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee recognize the importance of cybersecurity management. As part of its risk oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee is authorized to receive briefings from our Chief Financial Officer regarding cybersecurity and information technology risks, controls, and procedures,
29
Table of Contents
including the Company’s plans to mitigate cybersecurity and business continuity risks and to respond to data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents, as well as any cybersecurity issue that could affect the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls. The Audit Committee may also request updates on efforts regarding data loss prevention, regulatory compliance, data privacy, threat and vulnerability management, cyber-crisis management, or other topics, as it deems appropriate. Management is responsible for keeping the Audit Committee informed of material cybersecurity developments, and the Audit Committee reports to the Board of Directors, as appropriate.
Statutory Auditors
Nasdaq Listing Rules require that the Audit Committee have the specific Audit Committee responsibilities and authority necessary to comply with Rule 10A-3(b)(2), (3), (4) and (5) under the Exchange Act, which requires, among other things, that the Audit Committee have direct responsibility for the appointment, determination of compensation, retention and oversight of our auditors, authority to engage independent counsel and other advisors as it determines necessary, establishment of procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters (including confidential, anonymous submissions by employees), and appropriate funding as determined by the Audit Committee. However, Rule 10A-3 provides that if the laws of a company’s home country prohibit the full Board of Directors from delegating such responsibilities to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee’s powers with respect to such matters may instead be advisory. As indicated above, under French law, our Audit Committee may only have an advisory role on matters requiring approval of the Board of Directors under French law and can only make recommendations to our Board of Directors on such matters. In accordance with its Charter, the Audit Committee has authority to retain and determine the compensation for, at the expense of the Company, special legal, accounting or other advisors, experts or consultants as it deems necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties, and the Company provides appropriate funding as determined by the Audit Committee. Moreover, Rule 10A-3 also provides that its Audit Committee requirements do not conflict with any laws of a company’s home country that require shareholder approval of such matters. Under French law, our shareholders must appoint, or renew the appointment of, the statutory auditors once every six fiscal years. In accordance with the applicable requirements of the French Commercial Code, we have two statutory auditors.
Our shareholders renewed Deloitte & Associés S.A. as our independent registered public accounting firm at the 2023 ordinary general meeting, for a term of six years ending on the date of the 2029 ordinary general meeting, and KPMG S.A. as our other independent registered public accounting firm at the 2020 ordinary general meeting for a term of six years ending on the date of the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
Renewal of KPMG S.A. for another term of office of six years is submitted to the vote of the 2026 Annual General Meeting in the sixth resolution.
Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, Nasdaq Listing Rules and the Middlenext Code. A copy of the charter of our Compensation Committee is available on the Corporate Governance section of our website at https://www.dbv-technologies.com.
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our Compensation Committee held 8 meetings.
The Compensation Committee is composed entirely of independent Directors in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules applicable to compensation committee members and the “non-employee director” standard within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Compensation Committee has also considered the additional independence factors required by Nasdaq Rule 5605(d)(2)(A)-(B) with respect to each current member and, during his tenure on the Committee, Mr. Soland. In compliance with Rule 7 of the Middlenext Code, the chairperson of the Compensation Committee is an independent Director, Ms. O’Neill, and the Chief Executive Officer does not serve on the Committee.

| o | the Board’s corporate governance report (rapport sur le gouvernement d’entreprise) included in the Universal Registration Document (URD) to be filed with the Autorité des marchés financiers; and |

The Company provides appropriate funding, as determined by the Compensation Committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to any such adviser retained by the Compensation Committee. In selecting any such adviser, the Compensation Committee considers the independence of such adviser in accordance with the factors specified in Nasdaq Rule 5605(d)(3)(D), including the provision of other services to the Company by the adviser’s employer, the amount of fees |
31

| received from the Company by the adviser’s employer as a percentage of total revenue, the policies and procedures of the adviser’s employer designed to prevent conflicts of interest, any business or personal relationship of the adviser with a member of the Compensation Committee, any stock of the Company owned by the adviser, and any business or personal relationship of the adviser with an executive officer of the Company. The Compensation Committee has engaged Pay Governance, LLC (“Pay Governance”) and Aon Consulting as its independent compensation consultants to provide market data, peer group benchmarking and advice on executive and non-employee director compensation matters. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Pay Governance and Aon Consulting in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5605(d)(3)(D) and SEC rules and has concluded that Pay Governance and Aon Consulting’s engagements do not raise any conflict of interest. |
Compensation Committee Processes and Procedures
Typically, the Compensation Committee meets at least once every year and with greater frequency if necessary. The agenda for each meeting is usually developed by the Chair of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee meets regularly in executive session. However, from time to time, various members of management and other employees as well as outside advisors or consultants may be invited by the Compensation Committee to make presentations, to provide financial or other background information or advice or to otherwise participate in Compensation Committee meetings. The Chief Executive Officer may not be present during, any voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee regarding his or her compensation.
The charter of the Compensation Committee grants each member of the Compensation Committee full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company as deemed necessary or appropriate by any member of the Committee to discharge his or her responsibilities. In addition, under the charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to obtain, at the expense of the Company, advice and assistance from compensation consultants and internal and external legal, accounting or other advisors and other advisors and consultants that the Compensation Committee considers necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties. The Compensation Committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any consultants or advisers engaged for the purpose of advising the Compensation Committee. In particular, the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, in its sole discretion, compensation consultants to assist in its evaluation of executive and director compensation, including the authority to approve the consultant’s reasonable fees and other terms and conditions of such engagement, including the authority to terminate the engagement. Under the charter, the Compensation Committee may retain, or receive advice from, a compensation consultant or other adviser to the Compensation Committee, other than in-house legal counsel and certain other types of advisers, only after taking into consideration the Nasdaq Listing Rules that bear upon the adviser’s independence.
The Compensation Committee has engaged Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”) since 2020, and Aon Consulting, Inc. (“Aon”) since 2025 as its compensation consultants. Our Compensation Committee identified both consultants based on their general reputation in the industry. During 2025, the Compensation Committee requested that:
| (i) | Pay Governance: |
| • | assist in providing competitive compensation data for all of the Company’s executive positions and its Board of Directors; |
| • | propose go-forward changes relating to executive cash and equity compensation; and |
| • | review our non-employee director compensation policy and recommend changes as deemed appropriate to maintain or improve competitiveness. |
| (ii) | Aon: |
| • | support a range of compensation-related initiatives, including market benchmarking, long-term compensation modeling, and job grading; |
32
Table of Contents
| • | access to Aon’s broader compensation planning platforms and services; |
| • | provide external market data, advise on compensation structure design, develop modeling scenarios for long-term incentives, and deliver guidance on job architecture; and |
| • | review our non-employee director compensation policy and recommend changes as deemed appropriate to maintain or improve competitiveness. |
The Compensation Committee has analyzed whether the work of Pay Governance and Aon as compensation consultants raise any conflict of interest, taking into account relevant factors in accordance with SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards. Based on its analysis, our Compensation Committee determined that the work of Pay Governance and Aon and the individual compensation advisors employed by Pay Governance and Aon does not create any conflict of interest pursuant to the SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the members of our Compensation Committee is or has been an officer or employee of our Company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee (or other Board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board) of any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees
The Nominating and Governance Committee works with the Board of Directors to determine periodically, as appropriate, to the extent permitted or required under applicable laws, the qualifications, expertise and characteristics of the Board of Directors, including such factors as business experience and differences in professional background, education, skill, and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to the total mix of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board of Directors. At a minimum, the Nominating and Governance Committee believes that nominees for Director must (i) be able to read and understand basic financial statements, (ii) be over 21 years of age, and (iii) have the highest personal integrity and ethics. Beyond these minimum qualifications, nominees are expected to satisfy nearly all of the following criteria: (i) a demonstrated excellence in his or her field, including professional achievement and leadership experience, (ii) relevant expertise upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management, (iii) the ability to exercise sound business judgment, (iv) freedom from conflicts of interest that would interfere with the proper performance of the responsibilities of a Director, (v) sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of the
34
Table of Contents
Company and the Board of Directors, and (vi) commitment to rigorously represent the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates each individual in the context of the membership of the Board of Directors as a group, with the objective of having a board that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of background and experience across various areas. In determining whether to recommend a Director for re-election, the Nominating and Governance Committee also considers the Director’s past attendance at meetings, participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board of Directors and the Company and other relevant qualifications and characteristics.
In the case of incumbent Directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Board reviews such Directors’ overall service to the Company during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any relationships and transactions that might impair such Directors’ independence. In the case of new Director candidates, the Board also determines whether the nominee may be independent for Nasdaq Listing Rules or Middlenext Code purposes.
Each Director must ensure that other existing and anticipated future commitments do not materially interfere with the members’ service as a Director.
Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
We have adopted a code of ethics and business conduct (the “Code of Ethics and Business Conduct”) applicable to all of our Directors, officers and employees. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is available on the Corporate Governance section of our website at https://www.dbv-technologies.com. We expect that in the event of any amendments to this code or any waivers of its requirements to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or any person performing similar functions any executive officer or Director, we will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on our website rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K. In the case of a waiver for an executive officer or a Director, the disclosure required under applicable Nasdaq listing standards also will be made available on our website.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Shareholders and other interested parties who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors may do so by contacting our investor relations department by email at investors@dbv-technologies.com mail inbox or by mail at the Company’s registered office: 107 avenue de la République, 92320 Châtillon France. Communications are distributed to the Board, unless they are considered, either presumptively or in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s corporate secretary, to be improper for submission to the Board. Items that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of our Board of Directors may be excluded, including, without limitation: junk mail and mass mailings; resumes and other forms of job inquiries; surveys; solicitations or advertisements; communications that raise grievances that are personal to the sender; communications that relate to the pricing of the Company’s products or services; communications that do not relate directly or indirectly to the Company; and communications that are frivolous in nature. In addition, any material that is unduly hostile, threatening, or illegal in nature may be excluded. The Board of Directors’ answer, if any, will be directly sent to the shareholders or interested party at the email or mailing address provided in the communication.
This communication channel is without prejudice to, and does not limit in any way, the statutory information and questioning rights granted to shareholders under applicable French law, including their right to submit written questions in connection with General Meetings and to obtain the communication of corporate documents.
Executive Sessions
Executive sessions, which are meetings of the Board at which only non-executive Directors are present, are regularly scheduled throughout the year, typically at the time of each regular Board meeting and as frequently as the Chairman of the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

| (1) | The staggered vesting for the stock and option awards until November 2022 is as follows: 25% of the shares subject to each option vest 12 months after grant, with the remaining shares vesting in six equal semi-annual installments thereafter, subject to each option holder’s continued service through each such vesting date. As of November 2022, the staggered vesting of stock and option awards has changed, with a 4-year grant, and 25% vesting each year. |
| (2) | Exercise prices, grant date share fair values and fair value per equity instruments are provided in euros, as the Company is incorporated in France and the euro is the currency used for the grants. |
| (3) | Determined by reference to €3.38, the closing price per Ordinary Share on Euronext Paris on December 31, 2025, and an applicable exchange rate of €1.00 = $1.1750, which represents the exchange rate as of December 31, 2025. |
| (4) | The vesting of these options is not similar to the vesting described in footnote (1), but is subject to the achievement of clinical development-related performance conditions. |
| • | base salary, pegged to local compensation market; |
| • | annual incentive, paid in cash, subject to Company and individual achievement against annual corporate objectives; |
| • | long-term incentive, using a mix of restricted share units and stock options; |
| • | benefits, aligned with local market practices; and |
| • | talent management and development programs and opportunities, supporting our talent’s professional development. |
| • | attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent; |
| • | provide incentives that reward the achievement of performance goals that directly correlate to the enhancement of stockholder value, as well as to facilitate executive retention; |
| • | align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders; |
| • | link pay to company performance; and |
| • | offer pay opportunities that are competitive with the biopharmaceutical market in which we compete in order to recruit and retain top talent, while maintaining reasonable cost and dilution to our shareholders. |
| • | Base salary (fixed cash) |
| • | Base salary reflects level of expertise and competencies. It is aligned and competitive with local and country standards. Salary increases are managed annually, based on merit budget envelopes. Merit increase aims at rewarding our employees for the execution of their mission, specified in their job description. |
| • | Annual incentive |
| • | All employees are eligible for an annual incentive plan rewarding personal contribution towards Company and individual goals, as well as how they are delivered. As such, our annual performance management process encompasses assessment of behavioral competencies tied to our 4C’s. Targets are expressed in percentage of based salary and benchmarked with industry local market practices and peers. |
| • | For 2025, the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, determined that our Company had achieved 130% of the corporate objectives established by the Board. See Annex D for further information about our 2025 corporate objectives. |
| • | Long-term incentives (at-risk equity) |
| • | Value in the biotechnology industry is often created over a few years. We seek to align employees’ compensation with long-term Company value creation. We believe that our ability to grant equity awards is a credible and effective compensation tool. |
| • | Equity incentives aim at attracting and retaining talent at all levels of the organization by providing an extra layer of incentives to employees and promoting our growth as a collective achievement. |
| • | Includes a mix of Stock-Options (“SOs”) and RSUs in line with market practice in some comparable US peer companies. The size of the award is a percentage of the capital share outstanding (CSO), which may vary depending on where the role is based. |
| • | Annual equity opportunities are generally reviewed and determined annually or as appropriate during the year for new hires, promotions, or other special circumstances, such as to encourage retention, or as an incentive for significant achievement. Individual grants are determined based on a number of factors, including current corporate and individual performance, outstanding equity holdings and their retention value and total ownership, historical value of our stock, internal equity among executives, and market data provided by our independent compensation consultant. |
| • | We focus on time-vesting awards. Time-based vesting allows for retention that is aligned to the biotechnology industry’s longer time horizon for value creation and is competitive with market practices. Further, our focus on time-vesting awards allows us to most optimally allocate our resources by enabling us to shift resources towards the most promising opportunities for shareholder value creation. |
| • | Completeness: each company is free to determine the components of executive directors’ compensation. Disclosure of executive directors’ compensation to shareholders must be exhaustive: fixed portion, variable portion (bonus), stock options, restricted stock units, compensation for Board member duties, exceptional compensation, retirement conditions and special benefits, other... In the case of variable compensation, the assessment of performance takes into account quantitative criteria—financial and non-financial—as well as qualitative criteria; |
| • | Balance between remuneration components: each component of remuneration must be justified and in the Company’s interest; |
| • | Benchmark: as far as possible, remuneration should be assessed in the context of a business line and the reference market, and be proportionate to the Company’s situation, while taking care to avoid inflationary effects; |
| • | Consistency: the remuneration of executive directors must be consistent with that of the Company’s other directors and employees; |
| • | Rules must be simple and transparent. The performance criteria used to establish the variable portion of compensation or, where applicable, for the granting of stock options or restricted stock units, must be linked to the Company’s performance, correspond to its objectives, be demanding, explainable and, as far as possible, sustainable. They must be detailed, without however calling into question the confidentiality that may be justified for certain elements; |
| • | Measure: the determination of remuneration and the granting of stock options or restricted stock units must strike a fair balance, taking into account the Company’s general interest, market practices and the performance of senior executives; |
| • | Transparency: in accordance with the law, companies whose shares are listed on a regulated market must publish all the components of executive compensation in their corporate governance report. In the case of variable compensation, the weighting of the various criteria is communicated to shareholders. |

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares as of April 15, 2026, for:
| • | each beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Ordinary Shares; |
| • | each of our Executive Officers and Directors; and |
| • | all of our executive officers and Directors as a group. |
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power. In computing the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, Ordinary Shares subject to options, warrants, or other rights held by such person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of April 15, 2026, are considered outstanding. These Ordinary Shares, however, are not included in the computation of the percentage of ownership of any other person. Applicable percentage ownership is based on 296,042,447 Ordinary Shares outstanding plus 149,010,989 shares exercisable upon exercise of warrants and pre-funded warrants as of April 15, 2026.
Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each of the shareholders listed in the table below is c/o DBV Technologies S.A., 107 avenue de la République 92320 Châtillon, France.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions
We have adopted a related-party transaction policy that sets forth our procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of related-party transactions. Under French law, a related-party transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we and any related parties are, were or will be participants, which are not (1) in the ordinary course of business, and (2) at arms’ length. In addition, for purposes of compliance with Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, the policy covers any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which the Company was, is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee or Director are not covered by this policy. For purposes of this policy, a related party is any executive officer, director (or nominee for Director) or beneficial owner of more than ten percent (10%) of any class of our voting securities, including any entity owned or controlled by such persons. For purposes of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, a “related person” includes any beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, in addition to any executive officer, director (or nominee for Director) or immediate family member of any such person.
Under the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related-party transaction, including any transaction that was not a related-party transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related-party transaction prior to consummation, our management must present information regarding the related-party transaction to our Board of Directors for review, consideration and approval. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related parties, the benefits to us of the transaction and whether the transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to or from, as the case may be, an unrelated third-party or to or from employees generally.
Under the policy, we will collect information that we deem reasonably necessary from each Director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant shareholder to enable us to identify any existing or potential related-party transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, our employees and Directors have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest.
Transactions concluded under “normal terms and conditions” are those agreed by the Company under the same terms and conditions as those that it habitually applies in its relationships with third parties, such that they do not allow the contracting party to obtain a benefit that a third party would not have obtained.
To determine whether these terms and conditions are “normal”, the terms and conditions under which the agreements concerned are habitually agreed by other companies in the same business sector are also taken into account.
The normalness of the terms and conditions is primarily assessed by reference to:
| • | the economic data of the agreement: the price must correspond to a market price or a price generally applied by companies in the same business sector; |
| • | the notion of “balance of mutual benefits” which takes into consideration all the terms and conditions under which the transaction is concluded (payment deadline, guarantees, etc.); |
| • | in general, the legal terms and conditions of the agreement which must be balanced and standard for the type of transaction in question. |
If our management believes that the agreement in question is an ordinary agreement entered into under normal terms and conditions, they will bring to the attention of the Audit Committee a report of their review
55
Table of Contents
including the essential terms of that agreement and their conclusions, for the latter to judge whether it is advisable to bring it to the immediate attention of the Board of Directors.
The assessment of the criteria is reexamined whenever a previously concluded agreement is amended, renewed, extended, or terminated.
In determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related-party transaction, our Board of Directors, must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, our best interests, as our Board of Directors determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.
The Board reviews the related-party transactions as the case may be and at least on an annual basis, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and its internal procedure.
Related-Party Transactions
We have engaged in the following transactions with our Directors, executive officers and holders of more than five percent (5%) of our outstanding voting securities and their affiliates, which we refer to as our related parties.
Participation in April 2025 PIPE Financing
In April 2025, the Company completed a PIPE financing (the “April 2025 PIPE Financing”) generating initial gross proceeds of $125.5 million, followed by the full exercise of the associated warrants in January 2026 after the announcement of the positive results from the Phase 3 VITESSE trial, which generated an additional $195.2 million in gross proceeds. Following the full exercise of the BSA and the Warrants, no BSA or Warrants remained outstanding. The exercise of the BSA resulted in the issuance of 59,657,507 New Shares.
The Company entered into related-party agreements with its shareholders Bpifrance and Baker Brothers Investments on March 27, 2025, as part of the April 2025 PIPE Financing, due to their participation in the Share Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement. These related party-agreements were approved by the June 11, 2025, ordinary general meeting. Bpifrance and Baker Brothers Investments did not vote on the corresponding resolution submitted to the ordinary general meeting, in compliance with the provisions of the French Commercial Code.
The following table sets forth the number of new shares and warrants that two of our holders, who hold more than 5% of our outstanding voting securities and/or are affiliates, purchased under the April 2025 PIPE financing agreement:

Governance Rights
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements entered into in connection with the April 2025 PIPE Financing, the Company undertook, subject to settlement of the ABSA and the PFW-BS-PFW, to propose the appointment of Christiana Bardon, M.D., MBA, Managing Partner of MPM BioImpact, as a member of the Board of Directors at the next shareholders’ general meeting of the Company. In addition, Bpifrance Participations S.A. continues to hold board representation through its representative, Ms. Maïlys Ferrère, who serves as a Director of the Company. The representative appointed by Baker Bros. Advisors LP and the representative of Bpifrance Participations S.A. to the 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, relating to the April 2025 PIPE Financing.
Pursuant to the press release announcing the appointment of Ms. Bardon on March 27, 2025, Ms. Bardon has not opted to accept this appointment and her mandate was not submitted to the June 11, 2025 Annual General Meeting.
Registration Rights
In March 2018, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with entities affiliated with Baker Bros. Advisors LP, or Baker Brothers, pursuant to which Baker Brothers is entitled to rights with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of Ordinary Shares and ADSs, including Ordinary Shares or ADSs issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any other securities (whether equity, debt or otherwise) owned or subsequently acquired by Baker Brothers. These rights include demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights. All fees, costs and expenses of underwritten registrations will be borne by us and all selling expenses, including underwriting commissions, will be borne by Baker Brothers. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required, upon the request of Baker Brothers, to file a registration statement covering, and use our reasonable best efforts to effect, the registration of the Ordinary Shares, including in the form of ADSs, requested to be registered for public resale. In addition, if we register our securities either for our own account or for the account of other security holders under certain circumstances more than six months following the completion of our March 2018 underwritten global offering, Baker Brothers is entitled to include its Ordinary Shares or ADSs in such registration. Subject to certain exceptions, we and the underwriters may limit the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs included in an underwritten offering conducted pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement if the underwriters believe that including such securities would adversely affect the offering. The registration rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement will terminate ten years after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement.
In connection with the April 2025 PIPE Financing, on March 27, 2025, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “2025 Registration Rights Agreement”) with the investors party to the Securities Purchase Agreements, including Baker Brothers and BPIfinance Participations S.A., pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale the New Shares, the ABSA Warrant Shares, the First PFW Shares and the Second PFW Shares (together, the “Registrable Securities”). Under the 2025 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities no later than forty-five (45) days after the closing date of the PIPE financing (the “Filing Deadline”), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective no later than the seventy-fifth (75th) day after the closing date, or the one hundred twentieth (120th) day if the SEC reviews such registration statement (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). The Company also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective until the date the Registrable Securities covered thereby have been sold or may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction. All reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities are to be borne by the Company. The Company has granted the investors customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement, and the investors have granted the Company customary indemnification rights in connection therewith.

Agreements with our Directors and Executive Officers
Employment and Consulting Arrangements
Daniel Tassé. In November 2018, we entered into an executive agreement (as French “mandataire social”) with Mr. Daniel Tassé, our current Chief Executive Officer. He is entitled to an annual base salary and an annual bonus with a target amount of 100% of the base salary, capped at 150%. Mr. Tassé is also eligible to receive equity grants as our Board of Directors may determine and to participate in our bonus plan.
In December 2018, our Board of Directors fixed the performance criteria in the event of termination of Mr. Daniel Tassé’s duties as our Chief Executive Officer. He will benefit from a severance package if all the following objectives are achieved: (i) Viaskin Peanut is approved in a major market; (ii) an EPIT pipeline with three ongoing clinical trials is built; and (iii) six months cash runway is achieved, as defined by the last quarter of spend on the day of severance. Compliance with these performance conditions will be established by our Board of Directors prior to any payment.
In the event of termination “without cause” or for “good reason,” we will pay an amount equal to the sum of: (i) 18 months of Mr. Tassé’s base salary and (ii) the target bonus at a 100% achievement level.
In case of termination without “cause” or for “good reason” outside of a change of control, the severance benefits will get paid out over a 12-month period. In case of termination without “cause” or for “good reason” in connection with a change in control, those same amounts will be paid in a lump sum.
Virginie Boucinha. In November 2023, we entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Boucinha, our Chief Financial Officer (the “Boucinha Employment Agreement”). Ms. Boucinha is entitled to an annual base salary and an annual bonus with a target amount of 40% of the base salary. Ms. Boucinha is also eligible to receive equity grants as our Board may determine and to participate in our bonus plan. In the event of termination “without cause” or for “good reason,” we will pay an amount equal to the sum of 12 months of Ms. Boucinha’s base salary in equal installments over a 12-month period.
On December 16, 2024, the Company amended the Boucinha Employment Agreement to provide certain enhanced severance benefits upon a Change in Control. The Board approved this amendment in recognition of Ms. Boucinha’s commitment to the Company. Ms. Boucinha will be eligible to receive the following Change in Control Severance Indemnity in the event of her termination not due to termination in the event of Ms. Boucinha’s initiative or due to her gross misconduct or willful misconduct, in either case, within twelve (12) months immediately following, a Change in Control Separation:
| • | an amount equal to 12 months of gross remuneration; |
| • | such Change in Control Severance Indemnity will be paid in addition to any of the following applicable payments, including, legal or conventional statutory severance, outstanding holiday compensation, notice period compensation and any amount paid as annual bonus; and |
| • | such remuneration used to calculate the Change in Control Severance Indemnity shall be Ms. Boucinha’s base salary as of the date of termination. |
The foregoing Change in Control Severance Indemnity is contingent upon Ms. Boucinha keeping the terms of the Boucinha Agreement confidential.
The renewal of these benefits and alignment with the level of severance benefits applicable Mr. Mohideen and Mr. Trapp, subject to French applicable regulations and conventional severance rules, which expired on December 4, 2025, was approved by the Board on February 13,2026, without any expiry date.

In July 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Mohideen, our Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Mohideen is entitled to an annual base salary and an annual bonus with a target amount of 40% of the base salary, (the “Mohideen Employment Agreement”). Dr. Mohideen is also eligible to receive equity grants as our Board may determine and to participate in our bonus plan.

On December 16, 2024, DBV Technologies Inc., a fully owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) of DBV Technologies S.A. entered into an agreement with Pharis Mohideen (the “Mohideen Employment Agreement”) which amends the Mohideen Employment Agreement to provide certain enhanced severance benefits upon a Change in Control, as defined in the Mohideen Agreement. The Board of Directors approved the Mohideen Employment Agreement in recognition of Mr. Mohideen’s commitment to the Subsidiary. The Mohideen Employment Agreement provides certain enhanced severance benefits in case of termination without “cause” or for “good reason” upon a change in control of the Company. In particular, upon a termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason outside of a Change in Control (each as defined in the Mohideen Employment Agreement), Mr. Mohideen is entitled to twelve (12) months of base salary continuation paid in substantially equal installments, plus Company-paid COBRA premiums for up to twelve (12) months following the separation date, in each case subject to the Mr. Mohideen’s execution of a release of claims. In the event such termination occurs within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, Mr. Mohideen is instead entitled to a lump-sum payment equal to twenty-four (24) months of base salary plus 1x the target Annual Bonus for the year of termination, a cash Equity Bonus equal to the intrinsic value of any unvested Surviving Equity Awards not otherwise accelerated, and Company-paid COBRA premiums for up to twenty-four (24) months, in each case subject to Mr. Mohideen’s execution of a release of claims.

In the event of termination “without cause” or for “good reason,” we will pay an amount equal to the sum of 12 months of Mr. Trapp’s base salary in equal installments over a 12-month period. In the event of termination “for cause”, no severance benefits will be paid. Mr. Trapp is also eligible to receive equity grants as our Board may determine and to participate in our bonus plan. The Trapp Employment Agreement provides certain enhanced severance benefits in case of termination without “cause” or for “good reason” upon a change in control of the Company. In particular, upon a termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason outside of a Change in Control (each as defined in the Trapp Employment Agreement), Mr. Trapp is entitled to twelve (12) months of base salary continuation paid in substantially equal installments, plus Company-paid COBRA premiums for up to twelve (12) months following the separation date, in each case subject to the Mr. Trapp’s execution of a release of claims.

Audit and Non-Audit Services Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee has responsibility for issuing recommendations to the Board of Directors (and, where applicable, to the Annual General Meeting) in relation to the appointment and compensation of the work of our statutory auditors. The Audit Committee also has responsibility of overseeing the work of our statutory auditors. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has adopted a policy, approved by the Board of Directors on December 3, 2020, applicable since January 1, 2021 governing the pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by our statutory auditors to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from us and our management. Unless a type of service to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm has received general

pre-approval from the Audit Committee, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The payment for any proposed services in excess of pre-approved cost levels requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee has considered the non-audit services provided by KPMG S.A. and Deloitte & Associés as described above and believes that they are compatible with maintaining KPMG S.A. and Deloitte & Associés’ independence as our independent registered public accounting firms.

ADVISORY OPINION ON THE COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OTHER
THAN THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are including in this proxy statement a proposal, subject to shareholder vote, to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer (as disclosed under “Executive Compensation” and the tables that follow). Shareholder approval of the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer is required as a matter of French law and is addressed by Proposal No. 18.
We believe that our compensation programs for our named executive officers have been effective at promoting the achievement of positive results, appropriately aligning pay and performance, and enabling us to attract and retain very talented executives within our industry, while at the same time avoiding the encouragement of unnecessary or excessive risk-taking.
We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives you as a shareholder the opportunity to express your views on our 2026 compensation for our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the overall compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC.
Although this is an advisory vote which will not be binding on our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors will carefully review the results of the shareholder vote. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors will consider potential shareholders’ concerns and take them into account in future determinations concerning compensation of our named executive officers. Our Board of Directors therefore recommends that you indicate your support for the compensation of our named executive officers in 2026 as outlined in this proxy statement by voting “FOR” Proposal No. 14.

AUTHORIZATION TO BE GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO BUY BACK COMPANY SHARES ON THE COMPANY’S BEHALF PURSUANT TO ARTICLE L. 22-10-62 OF THE FRENCH COMMERCIAL CODE
Pursuant to the following resolution, shareholders are asked to approve a delegation of authority to buy back the Company’s shares to use as acquisition consideration and/or to underlie incentive instruments granted to the employees and executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Board proposes the shareholders authorize it, for a period of 18 months, pursuant to Articles L. 225-209 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, to buy back, on one or more occasions and at the times of its choosing, Company shares up to the limit of 5% of the number of shares comprising the share capital at the date of purchase, adjusted, if necessary, to take into account any increase or reduction in capital that may have taken place during the course of the program.
The shares may be bought back in order to:
| • | support the secondary market for or the liquidity of the Company’s shares through a liquidity agreement with an investment service provider, in accordance with the standard practice accepted by the regulations, in which context the number of shares taken into account for the calculation of the aforementioned limit corresponds to the number of shares purchased, after deduction of the number of shares resold; |
| • | provide coverage to meet obligations arising from stock option plans and/or free share allocation plans (or similar plans) for the group’s employees and/or corporate officers, as well as all share allocations arising under company or group employee savings plans (or similar plans), employee profit-sharing plans and/or any other form of share allocation arrangement for the group’s employees and/or corporate officers; |
| • | hedge the securities giving access to the Company’s shares, pursuant to current regulations; |
| • | hold the purchased shares and ultimately return them for future exchange or as payment under external growth transactions; |
| • | where applicable, cancel all or part of the shares acquired; or |
| • | more generally, operate for any purpose that may be authorized by law or any market practice that may be permitted by the market authorities, it being specified that, in such a case, the Company would inform its shareholders by way of a press release. |
The acquisition, sale, exchange or transfer of these shares may be executed by any means, including through the purchase of share blocks, at the time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. The Board may not, without the prior authorization of the shareholders’ meeting, use this authorization during a public offer period initiated by a third party for the shares of the Company until the end of the offer period.
The Company does not intend to use options or derivatives.
The maximum purchase price is set at €25 per share (excluding charges). In the event of a capital transaction, in particular a stock split or reverse split, or the allocation of free shares to shareholders, the above-mentioned amount will be adjusted in the same proportions (multiplier coefficient equal to the ratio between the number of shares comprising the capital before the transaction and the number of shares after the transaction).
The overall ceiling is set at €370,053,000.
The Annual General Meeting hereby authorizes the Board of Directors to carry out these transactions, set the terms and methods thereof, finalize all agreements and complete all formalities when necessary.

| • | cancel, at its discretion, on one or more occasions, up to 10% of the capital calculated on the date of the decision to cancel, less any shares canceled during the last 24 months, shares the Company holds or may hold following buy-backs performed pursuant to Article L. 22-10-62 of the French Commercial Code and to reduce the share capital accordingly in compliance with legal and regulatory provisions in force; and |
| • | carry out all necessary operations to perform such cancellations and the resulting reductions of the share capital, accordingly amending the Company’s Bylaws and fulfilling all formalities required. |

PROPOSALS NOS. 21 TO 32:
FINANCIAL AUTHORIZATIONS
We are a late-stage specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on changing the field of immunotherapy by developing our novel Viaskin technology platform. Developing, seeking regulatory approval of, and commercializing product candidates requires significant resources. Given our historical operating losses and reliance on external financings, we may seek additional capital as we prepare for the launch of Viaskin Peanut, if approved.
We may also need to secure capital to accelerate development of a promising new product candidate, to expand the geographical reach of our commercialization, or to pursue a promising business development opportunity.
A range of financing options is available in the marketplace, and we wish to be able to pursue the most appropriate financing for our company. We understand the need to be good stewards of our investors’ money and will continue to seek financing with a reasonable risk profile and attention to investor dilution. We also need to have resolutions that ensure consistency between U.S. (SEC) and French (AMF) market practices and regulatory standards.
That is why we ask for:
| • | the delegation of authority to increase the share capital with cancellation of preferential subscription rights in favor of one or more persons to be designated by the Board of Directors (24th resolution). |
| • | an applicable discount of up to 15% for the delegation of authority to increase the share capital with cancellation of subscription rights in favor of categories of persons meeting specified characteristics (25th resolution). |
| • | the delegation of authority to increase the share capital with cancellation of subscription rights in favor of categories of persons meeting specified characteristics within the framework of an equity financing agreement on the United States stock market known as “At-The-Market” or “ATM Program” (26th resolution). |
| • | a total ceiling set at EUR 29,604,244, which corresponds to approximately 100% of our share capital as of March 26, 2026. |
We are therefore seeking approval at the 2026 Annual General Meeting of the following resolutions that would allow raising capital even in adverse situations, to best ensure the continuity of our operations. These resolutions will be suspended in case of a hostile takeover attempt.
Unlike most companies incorporated under U.S. state law, which traditionally have a specified amount of authorized shares available for issuance with limited restriction on the purpose of such issuance, in accordance with French law, in order for our Board of Directors to increase our share capital, it must have a specific delegation of authority authorizing it to increase the share capital for each specific purpose.
The proposed financial authorizations would provide our Board of Directors with additional flexibility to respond quickly to changes in market conditions and thereby be able to obtain financing under the best possible conditions.
The financial delegations of authority presented for your approval at the 2026 Annual General Meeting are subject to the following important limitations:
| • | the maximum global nominal amount of the share capital increases which may be completed pursuant to Resolutions 21, 22, 24, 25 and 26 cannot exceed EUR29,604,244, i.e. approximately 100% of our share capital as of March 26, 2026; |
77
Table of Contents
| • | any share capital increase pursuant to Resolution 27, which grants a customary over-allotment option for any issuance pursuant to Resolutions 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26, would be at the same price as, and limited to a maximum of 15% of, the initial issuance; |
| • | the aggregate amount of share capital increases pursuant to Resolution 32 cannot exceed EUR14,802,122, i.e. approximately 50% of our share capital as of March 26, 2026. |
Our Board of Directors will continue to use these authorizations in accordance with our corporate and strategic needs and, in any case, does not intend to use these authorizations in the context of an unsolicited tender offer by a third party our shares.
Under French law, in the case of issuance of additional shares or other securities for cash or set-off against cash debts, our existing shareholders have preferential subscription rights to these securities on a pro-rata basis, unless such rights are waived by a two-thirds majority of the votes held by the shareholders present at the extraordinary meeting deciding or authorizing the capital increase, represented by proxy or voting by mail. In case such rights are not waived by the extraordinary general meeting, each shareholder may individually either exercise, assign or not exercise its preferential rights. Such rights would be waived pursuant to Resolutions 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28 and 30, if approved. Accordingly, the issuance of additional Ordinary Shares or other securities pursuant to such resolutions might, under certain circumstances, dilute the ownership and voting rights of shareholders.
Vote Required
Proposals Nos. 21 to 32 require the affirmative vote of a 2/3 majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person, represented by proxy, or voting by mail at the 2026 Annual General Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

The purpose of this delegation of authority is to enable the Company to obtain financing at any time through the issuance of ordinary shares and any type of securities giving, by any means, immediately and/or in the future, access to ordinary shares, by calling on the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s shareholders will be awarded, under the applicable legal provisions and in proportion to their ownership interest in the Company’s share capital, a preferential right to subscribe for new shares or securities. This detachable and negotiable right will make it possible, if the holder does not wish to subscribe to the capital increase, to financially offset the dilution resulting from the non-subscription to the capital increase.
The Company intends to use this delegation of authority to raise funds and have the financial flexibility necessary to enable it to execute its strategic objectives, including, but not limited to, with respect to financing potential external growth. In particular, the implementation of this authorization could provide us with quick access to a source of financing and allow us to respond quickly to changes in market conditions.
The share capital increases carried out pursuant to this authorization cannot exceed EUR 29,604,244, i.e. approximately 100% of our share capital as of March 26, 2026. In the case of issuances of debt securities, the nominal amount of any issuances will be limited to EUR 200,000,000.
The terms of the securities to be authorized, including dividend or interest rates, conversion prices, voting rights, redemption prices, maturity dates and similar matters would be determined by the board of directors. Any transaction where the Company sells such securities will be reviewed and approved by the board of directors at the time of issuance.
This delegation of authority would be granted for a 26-month period.
The Board of Directors shall be granted, within the limits set above, the powers required to set the terms for the issues and determine the issue price, and if applicable, record the execution of the resulting capital increases, amend the Bylaws accordingly, impute, as it sees fit, the costs of the capital increase to the amount of the related premiums and deduct the necessary sums from this amount to bring the statutory reserve to one tenth of the new share capital after each increase and, more generally, perform all tasks required in similar matters.
The Board cannot, unless authorized in advance by the General Meeting, make use of this delegation in a period of public offering initiated by a third party targeting the securities of the Company until the end of the offering period.
This delegation supersedes, as from the date hereof, the unused portion, if applicable, of the delegation of authority granted by the General Meeting of June 11, 2025, in its twenty-first resolution.

The Board of Directors is requesting the necessary authority to issue through a public offering ordinary shares and/or any type of securities giving access, by any means, immediately or in the future, to ordinary shares.
Resolution 22 is intended:
| • | To comply with the approach currently promoted by French regulatory authorities, pursuant to which, irrespective of whether a public offering is underwritten, this Resolution should be used to complete any such public offering because it is grounded on provisions of the French Commercial Code meant precisely for public offerings. In particular, if the end result of the planned transaction is a public offering of securities in France, Resolution 22 should be approved in order to ensure that the French regulatory authorities would view the financial delegations being granted at the 2026 Annual General Meeting as sufficient for all potential market participants; and |
| • | To allow for a direct public offering, without the involvement of underwriters. |
Any issuance pursuant to this delegation would be carried out without shareholders’ preferential subscription rights. However, shareholders could be granted a priority subscription period in accordance with applicable French law.
Pursuant to the French Commercial Code, the issue price to be determined by the Board pursuant to this Resolution 22 shall be at least equal to, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer:
| • | the weighted average of the prices of the last trading sessions chosen by the Board of Directors, or the Chief Executive Officer, between one and five consecutive trading sessions among the last thirty trading sessions, possibly reduced by a maximum discount of 15%, or |
| • | the last closing price of the Company’s share preceding the determination of the issue price, possibly reduced by a maximum discount of 15%. |
The Company intends to use this delegation of authority to raise funds and have the financial flexibility necessary to enable it to execute its strategic objectives. We do not intend to use it in the context of an unsolicited tender offer by a third party for the Company’s shares.
As a result, we believe that a share capital increase in an amount not to exceed EUR 29,604,244, i.e., approximately 100% of our share capital as of March 26, 2026, will provide us with sufficient flexibility in pursuing our strategic objectives. In particular, the implementation of this authorization could provide us quick access to sources of financing, in a similar manner to U.S. companies, and allow us to respond quickly to changes in market conditions.
In the case of issuances of debt securities, the nominal amount of any issuances will be limited to EUR 200,000,000. The amount of any debt securities issued will be subject to (and deducted from) the global limit of EUR 200,000,000, and the amount of any share capital increase will be subject to the global limit of EUR 29,604,244, in each case as approved pursuant to Resolution 31.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO BE GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ISSUE ORDINARY SHARES AND/OR EQUITY SECURITIES GIVING ACCESS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, TO EQUITY SECURITIES OR TO THE ALLOCATION OF DEBT SECURITIES (OF THE COMPANY OR A GROUP COMPANY), AND/OR SECURITIES GIVING ACCESS TO ORDINARY SHARES (OF THE COMPANY OR A GROUP COMPANY), WITHOUT PREFERENTIAL SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS, BY MEANS OF A PUBLIC OFFER REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH 1 OF ARTICLE L.411-2 OF THE FRENCH MONETARY AND FINANCIAL CODE
The goal of this delegation of authority is to allow the Company to issue ordinary shares and any type of securities giving access, by any means, immediately and/or in the future, to ordinary shares, in one or more private placements to qualified investors or to a limited circle of investors (less than 150) as described in paragraph 1° of Article L. 411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code.
Furthermore, the terms of this Resolution 23 set important limits on the amount of potential dilution. While our stock may vary, we believe that a share capital increase in an amount not to exceed EUR 29,604,244 i.e. approximately 100% of our share capital as of March 26, 2026, and not to exceed the limit determined by applicable laws and regulations at the time of the implementation of this delegation (on an indicative basis, currently 30% of the Company’s share capital per year), which would be subject to and deducted from the global limit provided in Resolution 31, will provide us with sufficient flexibility in pursuing our plan.
In the case of issuances of debt securities, the nominal amount of any issuances will be limited to EUR 200,000,000. The amount of any securities issued under Resolution 23 will be subject to (and deducted from) the global limits pursuant to Resolution 31.
Pursuant to the French Commercial Code, the issue price to be determined by the Board under this Resolution 23 shall be at least equal to, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer:
| • | the weighted average of the prices of the last trading sessions chosen by the Board of Directors, or the Chief Executive Officer, between one and five consecutive trading sessions among the last thirty trading sessions, possibly reduced by a maximum discount of 15%, or |
| • | the last closing price of the Company’s share preceding the determination of the issue price, possibly reduced by a maximum discount of 15%. |
This delegation of authority would be granted for a 26-month period.
The Board of Directors shall be granted, within the limits set above, the powers required to set the terms for the issues and determine the issue price, and if applicable, record the execution of the resulting capital increases, amend the Bylaws accordingly, impute, as it sees fit, the costs of the capital increase to the amount of the related premiums and deduct the necessary sums from this amount to bring the statutory reserve to one tenth of the new share capital after each increase and, more generally, perform all tasks required in similar matters.
The Board cannot, unless authorized in advance by the General Meeting, make use of this delegation in a period of public offering initiated by a third party targeting the securities of the Company until the end of the offering period.
This delegation supersedes, as from the date hereof, the unused portion, if any, of the delegation of authority granted by the General Meeting of June 11, 2025, in its twenty-third resolution.

The goal of this delegation of authority is to allow the Company to issue ordinary shares and any type of securities giving access, by any means, immediately and/or in the future, to ordinary shares, to one or more persons to be designated by the Board of Directors.
Furthermore, the terms of this Resolution 24 set important limits on the amount of potential dilution.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO BE GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ISSUE ORDINARY SHARES, GIVING, IF APPLICABLE, ACCESS TO ORDINARY SHARES OR THE ALLOCATION OF DEBT SECURITIES (OF THE COMPANY OR A GROUP COMPANY) AND/OR SECURITIES GIVING ACCESS TO ORDINARY SHARES (OF THE COMPANY OR A GROUP COMPANY), WITHOUT PREFERENTIAL SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS IN FAVOR OF CATEGORIES OF PERSONS MEETING SPECIFIED CHARACTERISTICS
In addition to Resolution 22 and Resolution 23, which are intended to enable the Board of Directors to increase the Company’s share capital through a public offering or a private placement, the Board of Directors also is requesting the necessary authority to issue through a reserved offering Ordinary Shares or any type of securities giving access, by any means, immediately and/or in the future, to our share capital (including, without limitation, any bonds redeemable or convertible for Ordinary Shares and any warrants attached or not to Ordinary Shares or other types of securities).
The Company intends to use this delegation of authority to raise the funds and have the financial flexibility necessary to enable it to execute its strategic objectives. We do not intend to use it in the context of an unsolicited tender offer by a third party for DBV shares. As a result, we believe that a share capital increase in an amount not to exceed EUR 29,604,244, i.e. approximately 100% of our share capital as of March 26, 2026, will provide us with sufficient flexibility in pursuing our strategic objectives. In particular, the implementation of this authorization could provide us quick access to sources of financing, in a similar manner to our U.S. competitors, and allow us to respond quickly to changes in market conditions.
The issue price of Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the scope of this delegation of powers will be set by the Board of Directors and must be at least equal to, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer:
| • | the last closing price of the Company’s shares preceding the setting of the issue price, possibly reduced by a maximum discount of 15%, or |
| • | the volume-weighted average of the Company’s share price on the Euronext Paris regulated market over a period determined by the Board of Directors of between one to five consecutive trading days, chosen from the 30 trading days preceding the pricing date, which may be reduced by a maximum discount of 15%. |
The shareholders are asked to waive shareholders’ preferential subscription rights to the Ordinary Shares and securities that would be issued by virtue of this delegation, and to reserve this subscription for the following category of persons:
| • | natural person(s) or legal entity(ies), including companies, trusts, investment funds or other investment vehicle(s), regardless of their form, under French or foreign law, investing on a regular basis in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological or medical technology sector; and/or |
| • | French or foreign companies, institutions or entities of any form, carrying out a significant portion of their business in these sectors or in the pharmaceutical chemical sector or in the field of medical devices or technologies or research in these areas; and/or |
| • | French or foreign investment service provider(s), or any foreign establishment(s) with equivalent status, likely to guarantee the completion of an issue intended to be placed with the persons referred to in (a) and/or (b) above or within the framework of the implementation of an equity or bond financing line and, in this context, to subscribe to the securities issued. |
The Board of Directors shall be granted the power to determine the precise list of beneficiaries of such issues reserved within such category or categories of persons and the number of securities to be allocated to each of them.

PERSONS MEETING SPECIFIED CHARACTERISTICS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF AN
EQUITY FINANCING AGREEMENT ON THE UNITED STATES STOCK MARKET KNOWN AS
“AT-THE-MARKET OFFERING” OR “ATM PROGRAM”
On recommendation of the management of the Company, the Board of Directors is requesting the necessary authority to issue Ordinary Shares in the form of American Depositary Shares or American Depositary Receipts of the Company within the framework of an equity financing agreement on the United States stock market known as “At-The-Market” or “ATM Program”. Any ATM Program implemented by the Company would be strictly limited to the issuance of ordinary shares in the form of American Depositary Shares or American Depositary Receipts of the Company which would be sold on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or any other ADS trading market, without any public offering in France or in Europe.
The Company intends to use this delegation of authority to raise the funds and have the financial flexibility necessary to enable it to execute its strategic objectives.
As a result, we believe that a share capital increase in an amount not to exceed EUR 29,604,244, i.e. approximately 100% of our share capital as of March 26, 2026, will provide us with sufficient flexibility in pursuing our strategic objectives. In particular, the implementation of this authorization could provide us quick access to sources of financing, in a similar manner to our U.S. competitors, and allow us to respond quickly to changes in market conditions.
The issue price of Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the scope of this delegation of powers will be set by the Board of Directors and must be at least equal to, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, either:
| • | the last closing price of the Company’s shares preceding the setting of the issue price, possibly reduced by a maximum discount of 15%, or |
| • | the volume-weighted average of the Company’s share price on the regulated market of Euronext Paris over a period determined by the Board of Directors of between one to five consecutive trading sessions chosen from among the last 30 trading sessions preceding the setting of the issue price, possibly reduced by a maximum discount of 15%. |
The shareholders are asked to waive shareholders’ preferential subscription rights to the Ordinary Shares and securities that would be issued by virtue of this delegation, and to reserve this subscription for the following category of persons:
| • | any credit institution, any investment service provider, French or foreign, or any foreign institution with an equivalent status, intervening within the framework of an ATM Program set up by the Company (or any equity financing program of the same nature which would replace it) and providing, within this framework, for the subscription of securities issued by the Company. |
The Board of Directors shall be granted the power to determine the precise list of beneficiaries of such issues reserved within such category or categories of persons and the number of securities to be allocated to each of them.
The Board of Directors would not, without the prior authorization of the General Meeting, make use of this delegation as from the filing by a third party of a draft public offer for the Company’s shares until the end of the offer period.

The purpose of this Resolution 27 is to allow the Board of Directors, with the ability to sub-delegate as permitted by law, to grant a customary over-allotment option, within thirty (30) days following the closing of the subscription, for any issuance of ordinary shares or securities giving access to the share capital decided pursuant to the twenty-first, twenty-second, twenty-third, twenty-fourth, twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth resolutions above.

The purpose of Resolution 28 is to allow the Board of Directors to increase the share capital in consideration for contributions in kind of equity securities or securities giving access to the capital.
The maximum nominal amount of share capital increases to be completed, immediately or in the future, may not exceed 20% of the share capital of the Company on the date of the decision to increase the share capital by the Board.

PROPOSAL NO. 29:
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO BE GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE PURPOSE OF DECIDING ON ANY OPERATION OF MERGER-ABSORPTION, DEMERGER, OR PARTIAL CONTRIBUTION OF ASSETS
Article L. 236-9 of the French Commercial Code provides that (i) the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of the acquiring company may delegate to the board of directors its competence in making decisions relating to a merger for a period that cannot exceed 26 months and (ii) the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of the acquiring company may determine the merger and grant to the board of directors the power to set definitive terms and conditions of such merger for a period that cannot exceed five years.
Pursuant to Resolution 29 and in accordance with the amended Article L. 236-9 of the French Commercial Code, we are asking shareholders to (i) delegate authority to the board of directors of the Company to decide on any merger-absorption, split or partial contribution of assets and (ii) grant to the board of directors full powers to implement this delegation, in accordance with the provisions set forth in French Laws and the by-laws of the Company, for the purpose of deciding all terms of any transaction that would be decided under this delegation.
If an operation by the board of directors pursuant to this delegation requires an increase in the Company’s share capital, it must be carried out within the limits set forth in Resolution 29 (i.e., the maximum nominal amount of share capital increases to be completed pursuant to Resolution 29, immediately or in the future, may not exceed 5% of the share capital of the Company on the date of the decision to increase the share capital by the Board).
We are asking shareholders to approve Resolution 29 because this authorization granted to the Board would facilitate any potential external growth by paying all or part of the price with our securities, and we believe that shareholders’ approval in these circumstances is often a cumbersome process and could create uncertainty with respect to the ability to consummate such a transaction. Additionally, we believe that the process of submitting such a transaction for shareholders’ approval could prevent us from seizing opportunities in a timely manner. The delegation provided for in Resolution 30 is intended to simplify the merger-absorption process.
This delegation of authority would be granted for a 26-month period.
This delegation supersedes, as from the date hereof, the unused portion, if any, of the delegation of authority granted by the General Meeting of June 11, 2025, in its twenty-ninth resolution.

Subject to the adoption by shareholders of Resolution 29, we are asking our shareholders to adopt Resolution 30 and, in accordance with Articles L. 225-129 to L. 225-129-5 and L. 228-91 of the French Commercial Code, we are asking our shareholders to delegate to the Board of Directors the authority to decide to issue, on one or more occasions, ordinary shares of the Company and/or any type of securities giving access, by any means, immediately and/or in the future, to ordinary shares of the Company, in compensation for contributions in kind granted to the Company as part of any merger, demerger or partial contribution of assets decided by the Board of Directors pursuant to the delegation granted under Resolution 30, such shares conferring the same rights as existing shares, said shares conferring the same rights as old shares subject to their date of use.
The securities issued pursuant to this delegation may consist of debt securities or be related to the issue of such debt securities or permit the issue as intermediate securities.
We are also asking our shareholders to waive, to the benefit of the shareholders of the absorbed company or the contributing company, any preferential subscription right attached to the ordinary shares or securities to be issued.
The maximum nominal amount of share capital increases to be completed, immediately or in the future, may not exceed 10% of the share capital of the Company on the date of the decision to increase the share capital by the Board. This limit is set without taking into account the par value of the ordinary shares to be issued, if applicable, in relation to adjustments carried out in order to protect the rights of holders of securities and other rights giving access to capital, in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements as well as applicable contractual provisions.
The nominal amount of any share capital increase that may be carried out in application of this resolution will be deducted from the overall limit set forth in Resolution 31 below.
The nominal amount of all issuances of debt securities to be completed giving access to the Company’s share capital will not exceed EUR 200,000,000 (or the corresponding value of this amount for an issuance in a foreign currency). This amount will be increased, if applicable, for any redemption premium above nominal value and will be deducted from the overall limit set forth in Resolution 31 below. This limit does not apply to securities the issuance of which is decided or authorized by the Board of Directors in accordance with Article L. 228-40 of the French Commercial Code.
We are asking that the Board of Directors be granted all powers to decide and acknowledge completion of the share capital remunerating the transaction, charge on the premium, as the case may be, the fees and charges generated by the share capital increase, to deduct on the premium, if it deems it useful, the necessary amounts for the allocation of the legal reserve, to amend the Company’s by-laws, to take any decision in relation to the admission of the securities issued hereby to trading on Euronext, and do everything that is required.
This delegation of authority would be granted for a 26-month period.

The Board proposes that the shareholders set the total par value of any shares that may be issued under the 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 28th and 30th Resolutions at EUR 29,604,244, i.e. approximately 100% of our share capital as of March 26, 2026. To this limit will be added, if applicable, the par value of any capital increase required to preserve, in accordance with the law and, if applicable, any contractual stipulations providing for other adjustments, the rights of the holders of rights or transferable securities giving access to the Company’s capital. The maximum nominal amount of debt securities that may be issued pursuant to this authorization is EUR 200,000,000 (or the equivalent of this amount in the event of an issue in another currency).
We believe that this amount strikes the correct balance between protecting our existing shareholders and providing the Company with the financial flexibility necessary to accomplish its strategic goals, and is in line with the flexibility available to comparable U.S. companies.

OF THE FRENCH LABOR CODE
Under the provisions of Articles L. 225-129 et seq. and L. 225-138-1 of the French Commercial Code and the provisions of Articles L. 3332-1 et seq. of the French Labor Code, the Board of Directors is required to submit for approval by the shareholders a resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to increase the share capital through the issuance of shares and securities for the benefit of employees who are members of a company savings plan (plan d’épargne groupe).
The aggregate nominal amount of share capital increases that would be carried out pursuant to this delegation of authority would not exceed 2% of the share capital at the date of this Annual General Meeting (this amount is separate to any other maximum amounts set by other authorizations relating to capital increases).
The price of any shares to be issued under this delegation may not be more than 30% (or 40% if the vesting period stipulated by the scheme pursuant to Articles L. 3332-25 and L. 3332-26 of the French Labor Code is greater than or equal to ten years) below the average opening price of our Ordinary Shares for the 20 trading days prior to the decision setting the date for the opening of subscriptions, nor may it be higher than this average.
Under the conditions set forth in Articles L. 3332-18 to L. 3332-23 of the French Labor Code, the Board of Directors would determine the issue price of the newly created shares or securities granting access to the share capital. For the benefit of the members of a company savings plan (plan d’épargne entreprise), the shareholders’ preferential subscription right to the shares or securities would be eliminated.
However, approving this resolution will enable our Board of Directors to adopt such a company savings plan if it determines in the future that such a plan is appropriate to strengthen employee retention and further align employee and shareholder interests.
This delegation of authority would be granted for a 26-month period.
This delegation supersedes, as from the date hereof, the unused portion, if any, of the delegation of authority granted by the General Meeting of June 11, 2025, in its thirty-third resolution.

PROPOSALS NOS. 34 TO 37:
EQUITY RESOLUTIONS
The following is an overview of the equity plan-related proposals being submitted for the approval of our shareholders, which are described in more detail below.
Pursuant to Resolution 34 of the General Meeting of June 11, 2025, our shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to grant share warrants. As such authorization shall expire on December 11, 2026, in order to continue our equity compensation program beyond such date, pursuant to Resolution 34 below, we are requesting that our shareholders renew their prior authorization to the Board of Directors to grant share warrants for the 18-month period following the date of the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
Pursuant to Resolutions 35 and 36 of the General Meeting of June 11, 2025, our shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to grant, respectively, (i) stock options to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, and (ii) free Ordinary Shares. As such authorizations will expire on December 11, 2026, in order to continue our equity compensation program beyond such date, pursuant to Resolutions 35 and 36 below, we are requesting that our shareholders renew their prior authorization to the Board of Directors to grant, respectively, stock options and free Ordinary Shares for the 18-month period following the date of the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
The grants of stock options and free Ordinary Shares under Resolutions 35 and 36 are subject to the limitation set forth in Resolution 37. Pursuant to Resolution 37, the aggregate amount of share capital increases that may result from the implementation of Resolutions 35 and 36 may not exceed 9.5% of the share capital at grant date(s).

PROPOSAL NO. 34:
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO BE GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ISSUE STOCK WARRANTS (BSA), SUBSCRIPTION AND/OR ACQUISITION OF NEW AND/OR EXISTING STOCK WARRANTS (BSAANE) AND/OR SUBSCRIPTION AND/OR ACQUISITION OF NEW AND/OR EXISTING REDEEMABLE STOCK WARRANTS (BSAAR) WITHOUT PREFERENTIAL SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS IN FAVOR OF A CATEGORY OF PERSONS
Our Board of Directors recommends the approval of this delegation of authority to grant warrants in order to ensure the Company can attract, recruit and compensate independent directors and consultants competitively by providing for customary compensatory grants to our existing and future non-employee directors.
To continue to attract and retain highly talented directors with deep industry knowledge and experience, we must be able to offer our directors compensation in line with market standards, which include an equity-based component. However, pursuant to French law, non-employee directors may not be granted stock options or free shares. As a result, the right to subscribe for BSAs is a key element of our current non-employee director compensation.
This delegation of authority is critical to our business strategy because it enables us to continue issuing BSAs, which is vital to our ability to attract and retain highly talented directors, compete with compensation arrangements provided by our U.S.-based peers and strengthen the alignment of our directors’ interests with those of our shareholders.
We are also seeking authorization to grant BSAs to persons bound to the Company or one of its subsidiaries by a consultancy agreement who, pursuant to French law, cannot be granted stock options or free shares. In certain circumstances, it is important for the Company to be able to offer a long-term compensation element to such persons in order to engender loyalty in our highly competitive industry and align their incentives with the long-term interests of our shareholders.
The Board proposes that the shareholders delegate to the Board of Directors, for a period of 18 months, its competence to proceed, on one or more occasions, in the proportions and at the time it deems appropriate, both in France and abroad, with the issue of new stock warrants (BSA), subscription and/or acquisition of new and/or existing stock warrants (BSAANE) and/or subscription and/or acquisition of new and/or existing redeemable stock warrants (BSAAR) with cancellation of preferential subscription rights reserved for the categories of persons defined below.
The total nominal amount of shares to which the warrants issued pursuant to this delegation give entitlement may not exceed 0.5% of the share capital on the date of the allocation decision. To this maximum amount will be added, as necessary, the nominal amount of the capital increase necessary to preserve the rights of the holders of rights or securities giving access to the Company’s capital, pursuant to the law, and, where applicable, the contractual stipulations providing for other forms of preservation. This maximum amount is separate from all maximum amounts set by the other resolutions of this Annual General Meeting.
The issue price of the warrants will be fixed by the Board of Directors. In the event of assignment to non-executive directors, the warrant issue price will coincide with its market value.
The subscription and/or acquisition price of the shares acquired by exercising the warrants shall be at least equal to the average closing price of DBV Technologies’ shares for the 20 trading sessions preceding the decision to issue the warrants, if applicable, less the warrant issue price.
Approval of this proposal eliminates the preferential subscription rights of shareholders to the BSAs, BSAANEs and BSAARs to be issued, to the benefit of the following categories of persons: corporate officers,
99
Table of Contents
scientific committee members, employees of the Company and persons associated with the Company and the French or foreign companies related to the Company, via a service agreement or as a consultant, in accordance with Article L.225-180 of the French Commercial Code.
This delegation means that the shareholders waive their preferential subscription rights to shares that may be issued by the exercising of warrants to the holders of BSAs, BSAANEs and/or BSAARs.
The Board cannot, unless authorized in advance by the Annual General Meeting, make use of this delegation in a period of public offering initiated by a third party targeting the securities of the Company until the end of the offering period.
The Board of Directors shall be granted all necessary powers, under the terms set by the law and stipulated above, to issue BSAs, BSAANEs and/or BSAARs and in particular to:
| • | set the specific list of beneficiaries within the categories of persons defined above, the nature and number of warrants to be allocated to each beneficiary, the number of shares to which each warrant shall give entitlement, the issue price of the warrants and the subscription and/or acquisition price of the shares to which the warrants give entitlement under the terms outlined above, the terms and deadlines for the subscription and exercise of the warrants, the associated adjustment mechanisms and, more generally, all terms and conditions with respect to the issue; |
| • | prepare an additional report describing the final terms and conditions of the transaction; |
| • | conduct the necessary share acquisitions within the framework of the share buyback program and allocate them via the allocation plan; |
| • | record the completion of the capital increase resulting from the exercising of the BSAs, BSAANEs and/or BSAARs and amend the Bylaws accordingly; |
| • | at its sole discretion, impute the cost of the capital increase to the amount of the associated premiums and deduct the necessary sums from this amount to bring the statutory reserve to one tenth of the new share capital after each increase; |
| • | delegate, under the conditions provided for by law, the powers required to enact the capital increase, and to delay the capital increase, within the limits and according to the terms and conditions previously set by the Board of Directors; |
| • | and, more generally, perform all tasks required in similar matters. |
The validity of this delegation is set at 18 months from the date of the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
Description of Principal Features of the BSAs
Pursuant to SEC rules, we are providing the following description of the material terms of the BSA awards we expect to be included in our BSA award agreement letters.
Type of Awards. BSAs are granted at fair market value and entitle a holder to exercise the warrant for the underlying vested Ordinary Shares at an exercise price per share determined by the Board of Directors and shall be at least equal to the average closing price of our Ordinary Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the decision to issue the warrants, if applicable, less the warrant issue price. We use BSAs as part of our compensation for non-employee directors and consultants.
Administration. Subject to shareholder approval of this Proposal No. 34, the Board of Directors will determine the recipients, dates of grant and exercise price of BSAs, the number of BSAs to be granted and the terms and conditions of the BSAs, including the period of their exercisability and their vesting schedule.
100
Table of Contents
Governing Law. The BSAs are governed by the laws of France.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences for U.S. holders. In general, no taxable income is realized by a participant upon the grant of a BSA. Rather, at the time of exercise of the BSA, the participant will recognize ordinary income for income tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares purchased over the sum of (a) the exercise price and (b) the subscription price paid at grant. The participant’s tax basis in any Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of a BSA will be the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the date of exercise, and if the shares are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the amount received upon such sale or exchange and the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise will generally be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the shares are a capital asset of the participant), depending upon the length of time such shares were held by the participant.
New Plan Benefits
The benefits or amounts that will be awarded or allocated under the delegation of authority to grant BSAs are not determinable at this time because the number of shares underlying BSA awards depends on the Company’s stock price, which cannot be predicted, the fair market value, the decision of directors whether to subscribe for the BSA awards and the exercise of discretion by our Board of Directors.
This delegation supersedes, as from the date hereof, the unused portion, if any, of the delegation of authority granted by the General Meeting of June 11, 2025, in its thirty-fourth resolution.

PROPOSAL NO. 35:
AUTHORIZATION TO BE GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ALLOCATE FOR FREE SHARES TO MEMBERS OF STAFF AND/OR CERTAIN CORPORATE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY
Under French law, our Board of Directors must have a specific delegation of authority from shareholders to increase the Company’s share capital by issuing free Ordinary Shares.
If approved, the new authorization to grant free share options will supersede the authorization to grant free shares. The renewal of this authority is fundamental to our business strategy because it enables us to continue issuing free shares as necessary to attract and retain the high-quality executives and key employees that are critical to our success, while aligning employee interests with those of shareholders. For a detailed discussion of our executive compensation policy and objectives, see “Executive Compensation” elsewhere in this proxy statement.
Because we are a Nasdaq-listed company and considered a U.S. domestic registrant under SEC rules, our shareholders continue to benefit from the protections afforded to them under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq and SEC, including those rules that limit our ability to issue shares in specified circumstances. In addition, we follow U.S. capital markets and governance standards to the extent permitted by French law and emphasize that this authorization is required as a matter of French law and is not otherwise required for other U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq with which we compete.
The Board then proposes that the shareholders authorize the Board of Directors, for a period of 18 months, to allocate existing or future Ordinary Shares in the Company, reserved for:
| • | members of staff of the company or companies or economic interest groups that are directly or indirectly related to it as defined by Article L. 225-197-2 of the French Commercial Code; |
| • | and/or corporate officers who meet the conditions set out in Article L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code. |
The total number of shares that can be assigned free of charge pursuant to this authorization will not exceed 9.5% of the share capital on the date of the grant decision, it being specified that it may not exceed the maximum percentage provided for by the regulations in force on the date of the grant decision and that this limit shall count against the overall nominal amount of shares that may be purchased or subscribed under the thirty-sixth resolution. This limit will exclude, if applicable, the par value of any capital increase required to preserve the rights of the beneficiaries of bonus share awards in the event of transactions involving the Company’s capital during the vesting period.
The grant of shares to beneficiaries will become definitive after a vesting period to be determined by the Board of Directors, which may not be less than one year.
Beneficiaries shall, where applicable, be required to hold these shares for a period, set by the Board of Directors, at least equal to that necessary to ensure that the cumulative duration of the vesting and, where applicable, holding periods cannot be less than two years.
By way of exception, final allocation will take place before the end of the vesting period in the event that the beneficiary is classified as disabled under the second and third categories set out in Article L. 341-4 of the French Social Security Code.
All powers are granted to the Board of Directors:
| • | to set the terms and, if applicable, the award, seniority, presence and performance conditions (if any) for the shares; |
102
Table of Contents
| • | to determine the identity of the beneficiaries and the number of shares allocated to each; |
| • | if applicable, to record the existence of sufficient reserves and, upon each allocation of shares, transfer to a reserve account the sums required to pay up the new shares to be granted; at the appropriate time, determine the capital increases by means of incorporation of reserves, premiums or profits relating to the issue of new free shares granted; conduct the necessary share acquisitions within the framework of the share buyback program and allocate them via the allocation plan; determine the impact on beneficiaries’ rights of transactions affecting the share capital or likely to affect the value of shares allocated and enacted during the vesting period and, as a result, to modify or adjust, if necessary, the number of shares granted to preserve the beneficiaries’ rights; determine, within the limits set by this resolution, the duration of the acquisition period; decide whether or not to establish a holding obligation at the end of the vesting period and, if applicable, determine its duration and take all necessary measures to ensure that the beneficiaries comply with it; |
| • | and generally, in connection with the legislation in effect, perform all duties that the implementation of this authorization may require. |
This authorization shall imply that shareholders waive their preferential subscription rights to subscribe to newly issued shares through the capitalization of reserves, share premium and profits.
Description of Principal Features of the Free Shares
Pursuant to SEC rules, we are providing the following description of the material terms of the free share awards we expect to be included in our free share awards agreement letters.
Type of Awards. The 2026 free share plan is expected to provide for the grant of free shares to our employees and employees of any company or group in which we hold, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the share capital or voting rights as of the date of grant. Participants in the 2026 free share plan are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors, subject to the terms of the 2026 free share plan.
Shares available. The total number of shares that can be assigned free of charge pursuant to this authorization will not exceed 9.5% of the share capital on the date of the grant decision.
Administration. Subject to shareholder approval of this Proposal No. 35, the Board of Directors is expected to have the authority, in its discretion, to determine (i) the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to free shares (which need not be identical) to any participant and any shares acquired pursuant to such grant and (ii) whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an award of free shares may be settled, canceled, forfeited, exchanged or surrendered.
Vesting; Holding Period. Free shares are expected to vest at the times and upon the conditions that our Board of Directors may determine, as reflected in an applicable award grant letters and the 2026 free share plan, subject to waiver and release by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Awards of free shares granted under the 2026 free share plan generally are expected to vest on the basis of continued employment through the end of the vesting period and may require the satisfaction of performance conditions to be determined by the Board of Directors.
Equitable Adjustments. In the event certain changes occur in our capitalization such as (i) an amortization or reduction of our share capital, (ii) a change to the allocation of our profits, (iii) a distribution of our free shares, (iv) the capitalization of reserves, profits, issuance premiums or (v) an issuance of shares or securities giving right to shares to be subscribed for in cash or by set-off of existing indebtedness offered exclusively to all our then-existing shareholders, the Board of Directors is expected to have the ability to adjust the maximum number of shares or take other such action as may be provided in Article L. 228-99 of the French Commercial Code.
Governing Law. The free shares are governed by the laws of France.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences For U.S. Taxpayers
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of an award of free shares granted under the 2026 free share plan, the material terms of which are discussed above. It does not purport to be a complete description of all applicable rules, and those rules (including those summarized here) are subject to change. The summary discusses only U.S. federal income tax laws and does not discuss any state or local or non-U.S. tax laws that may be applicable.
In general, the grant of an award of free shares will not result in U.S. taxable income for a U.S. taxpayer-recipient or in a U.S. tax deduction for DBV Technologies. Upon the vesting of the shares (or, if earlier, upon the timely filing of an election under Section 83(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the U.S. participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares on such date, subject to withholding for employees or former employees, and DBV Technologies (or the surviving corporation following a change in control) generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount. If the shares are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the amount recognized upon vesting and the sale or exchange value of such shares will generally be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the shares are a capital asset of the participant), depending upon the length of time such shares were held by the participant.
New Plan Benefits
Awards of free shares are within the discretion of our Board of Directors. As a result, the benefits or amounts that will be awarded or allocated thereunder are not determinable at this time.
This delegation, for the part not used, if applicable, supersedes, as from the date hereof, the unused portion, if any, of the delegation of authority granted by the General Meeting of June 11, 2025, in its thirty-fifth resolution.

PROPOSAL NO. 36:
AUTHORIZATION TO BE GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO GRANT SHARE SUBSCRIPTION AND/OR PURCHASE OPTIONS (STOCK OPTIONS) TO MEMBERS OF STAFF AND/OR CERTAIN CORPORATE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY OR RELATED COMPANIES OR ECONOMIC INTEREST GROUPS
Under French law, our Board of Directors must have a specific delegation of authority from shareholders to increase the Company’s share capital by issuing Ordinary Shares in the form of stock options.
As a result, the shareholders are asked to grant the Board of Directors the authority to issue and grant stock options, each representing a right to receive Ordinary Share(s).
The renewal of this authority is fundamental to our business strategy because it enables us to continue granting options as necessary to attract and retain the high-quality executives and key employees that are critical to our success, while aligning executive and employee interests with those of shareholders. For a detailed discussion of our executive compensation policy and objectives, see “Executive Compensation” elsewhere in this proxy statement.
Because we are a Nasdaq-listed company and considered a U.S. domestic registrant under SEC rules, our shareholders continue to benefit from the protections afforded to them under the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and SEC, including those rules that limit our ability to issue shares in specified circumstances. In addition, we follow U.S. capital markets and governance standards to the extent permitted by French law and emphasize that this authorization is required as a matter of French law and is not otherwise required for other U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq with which we compete.
The Board then proposes the shareholders authorize the Board of Directors, for a period of 18 months, to grant the beneficiaries indicated below, on one or more occasions, options giving access to new shares in the Company to be issued in respect of a capital increase or to the purchase of existing shares in the Company as a result of buybacks carried out under the terms set by law.
The beneficiaries of these options may only be:
| • | firstly, some or all members of staff, or certain categories of staff and, where appropriate, those companies or economic interest groups related to it under the conditions of Article L. 225-180 of the French Commercial Code; or |
| • | secondly, corporate officers who meet the conditions set out in Articles L. 22-10-58 and L. 225-185 of the French Commercial Code. |
The total number of options that may be granted by the Board of Directors under this authorization may not grant entitlement to subscribe to or purchase more than 9.5% of the share capital on the date of the allocation decision, it being specified that it may not exceed the maximum percentage provided for by the regulations in force on the date of the grant decision and that this limit shall count against the overall nominal amount of shares that may be granted as provided for in the thirty-fifth resolution. To this amount will be added, as necessary, the par value of any capital increase necessary to preserve the rights of the beneficiaries of the options in the event of transactions involving the Company’s capital, pursuant to the law and, if applicable, any contractual stipulations providing for other forms of preservation.
The subscription and/or acquisition price of the shares to be paid by the beneficiaries will be set on the day the options are granted by the Board of Directors in accordance with the regulations in effect and must not be less than the average opening price of the shares for the twenty trading days prior to the grant decision.
No options may be granted during the blackout periods set out in the regulations.
105
Table of Contents
This authorization includes, in favor of the beneficiaries of options giving access to shares, an express waiver by shareholders of their preferential subscription rights to subscribe to the shares that will be issued as and when the options are exercised.
Approval of this proposal delegates all powers to the Board of Directors to set the other terms and conditions for the granting of options and their exercise, in particular to:
| • | determine the conditions under which the options shall be granted and to draft the list or categories of beneficiaries as scheduled above; to determine, where appropriate, the seniority, presence and performance conditions (if any) that must be met by these beneficiaries; to determine the conditions under which the price and number of shares must be adjusted, particularly in the presumptions set out under Articles R. 225-137 to R. 225-142 of the French Commercial Code; |
| • | define the exercise period(s) for the options granted, with the understanding that the term of the options may not exceed a period of ten years from the grant date; |
| • | provide the option to temporarily suspend the exercise of options for a maximum period of three months in the event that financial transactions are performed involving the exercise of a right attached to shares; |
| • | if applicable, conduct the necessary share acquisitions within the framework of the share buyback program and to allocate them via the option plan; |
| • | proceed with all acts and formalities required to make final those capital increases that may, if necessary, be performed pursuant to the authorization granted by this resolution; amend the by-laws accordingly and generally to do whatever is necessary; or |
| • | at its own discretion and if it sees fit, impute the cost of increases in share capital to the amount of the associated premiums and deduct the necessary sums from this amount to bring the statutory reserve to one tenth of the new share capital after each increase. |
Description of Principal Features of the Stock Options
Pursuant to SEC rules, we are providing the following description of the material terms of the stock option awards we expect to be included in our stock options award agreement letters.
Type of Awards. Stock options may be granted to any individual employed by us or by any affiliated company under the terms and conditions of an employment contract. Employee share options may also be granted to the chairman of our Board of Directors, our chief executive officer and our deputy chief executive officers, if any. Participants in the 2026 stock option plan are determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors subject to the terms of the 2026 stock option plan.
Stock options entitle a holder to exercise the option for the underlying Ordinary Shares on or after the applicable vesting date at an exercise price per share determined by the Board of Directors, which for U.S. taxpayers is no less than the fair market value of DBV Technologies on the date of grant.
Shares available. The total number of options that may be granted by the Board of Directors under this authorization may not grant entitlement to subscribe to or to purchase more than 9.5% of the share capital on the date of the allocation decision.
Administration. Our Board of Directors has the authority to administer the 2026 stock option plan. Subject to the expected terms and conditions of the 2026 stock option plan, our Board of Directors determines the recipients, dates of grant, exercise prices, number of Ordinary Shares underlying the stock options and the terms and conditions of the stock options, including their periods of exercisability and their vesting schedules.
106
Table of Contents
The Board of Directors has the authority to amend or modify employee share options outstanding under the delegation under this Proposal No. 36, including in particular the authority to extend the post-termination exercise period of the options, subject to the written consent of the optionees holding such options, if such amendments or modifications impair the rights of the optionees.
Vesting; Holding Period. Stock options are expected to vest at the times and upon the conditions that our Board of Directors may determine, as reflected in an applicable award grant letters and the 2026 stock option plan, subject to waiver and release by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Awards of stock options granted under the 2026 stock option plan generally are expected to vest on the basis of continued employment or presence through the end of the vesting period and may require the satisfaction of performance conditions to be determined by the Board of Directors. The presence condition’s compliance is subject to the Board of Directors’ discretion.
Equitable Adjustments. In the event of the carrying out by the Company of any of the financial operations pursuant to Article L. 225-181 of the French Commercial Code as follows: (i) amortization or reduction of share capital, (ii) a change to the allocation of profits, (iii) a distribution of free shares, (iv) capitalization of reserves, profits or issuance premiums, (v) a distribution of reserves, or (vi) an issuance of shares or securities giving right to shares to be subscribed for in cash or by set-off of existing indebtedness offered exclusively to shareholders, the Board of Directors will take the required measures to protect the interest of the optionees in the conditions set forth in Article L. 228-99 of the French Commercial Code.
Governing Law. The stock options are governed by the laws of France.
U.S. Tax Limitations on incentive stock options. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of our Ordinary Shares issuable under incentive stock options that are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year under all of our Stock Option Plans may not exceed $100,000. Stock options, or portions thereof, that exceed such limit will generally be treated as non-statutory share options. No incentive stock option may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own shares possessing more than 10% of our total combined voting power or that of any of our affiliates unless (1) the exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to the stock options on the date of grant and (2) the term of the incentive stock option does not exceed five years from the date of grant.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences for U.S. Taxpayers
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of an award of employee share options granted under the delegation under this Proposal No. 36, the material terms of which are discussed above. It does not purport to be a complete description of all applicable rules, and those rules (including those summarized here) are subject to change. The summary discusses only U.S. federal income tax laws and does not discuss any state or local or non-U.S. tax laws that may be applicable.
Incentive Stock Options
An optionee does not recognize income for regular income tax purposes as a result of the grant or exercise of a stock option that qualifies as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code. However, the exercise of an incentive stock option may result in the recognition of income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed under the Code, as described below. If an optionee exercises the option and then later sells or otherwise disposes of the Ordinary Shares acquired through the exercise of the option after both the two-year anniversary of the date the option was granted and the one-year anniversary of the date of exercise, the optionee will recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale price of the Ordinary Shares and the exercise price, and we will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes.
However, if the optionee disposes of such Ordinary Shares on or before either the two-year anniversary of the date of grant or the one-year anniversary of the date of exercise (a “disqualifying disposition”), any gain up to
107
Table of Contents
the excess of the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price generally will be taxed as ordinary income. Any gain in excess of that amount will be a capital gain. If a loss is recognized, there will be no ordinary income, and such loss will be a capital loss. Any ordinary income recognized by the optionee upon the disqualifying disposition of the Ordinary Shares generally should be deductible by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code.
For purposes of the alternative minimum tax, the excess over the option exercise price of the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the exercise date is treated as an adjustment item in computing the optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income in the year of exercise. In addition, special alternative minimum tax rules may apply to certain subsequent disqualifying dispositions of the Ordinary Shares or provide certain basis adjustments or tax credits.
Non-Statutory Stock Options
An optionee generally recognizes no taxable income as the result of the grant of a non-statutory employee share option. However, upon exercising the option, the optionee normally recognizes ordinary income equal to the amount that the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on such date exceeds the exercise price. If the optionee is or was an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of the Ordinary Shares acquired by the exercise of a non-statutory stock option, any gain or loss (based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the exercise date) will be taxed as capital gain or loss.
New Plan Benefits

PROPOSAL NO. 37:
OVERALL LIMIT ON THE MAXIMUM AUTHORIZED AMOUNTS SET UNDER THE RESOLUTIONS THIRTY-FIFTH AND THIRTY-SIXTH
The Board proposes that the shareholders set the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth resolutions at 9.5% of the share capital outstanding on the date the shares or the options are granted. To this limit will be added, if applicable, the par value of any capital increase required to preserve, in accordance with the law and, if applicable, any contractual stipulations providing for other adjustments, the rights of the holders of rights or transferable securities giving access to the Company’s capital.
We believe that this amount achieves an appropriate balance between safeguarding the interests of our existing shareholders and providing the Company with the financial flexibility required to implement an employee incentive plan, consistent with incentive practices at comparable U.S. companies.

The compensation policy mentioned below is applicable to the Chief Executive Officer, whether or not he or she simultaneously holds the position of Chairman of the Board.
The fixed, variable and exceptional items constituting the total compensation and benefits of any kind that may be granted to the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to his mandate, as well as their respective importance, are as follows:
| • | Fixed compensation |
The fixed compensation of the Chief Executive Officer is determined by considering the level and difficulty of the responsibilities, experience in the role and practices noted in comparable companies.
The Board, in its meeting held on November 14, 2018, decided to set the fixed annual compensation of the Chief Executive Officer at US$600,000. This amount remains unchanged as of the date of this report. This compensation is payable on a bi-monthly basis.
| • | Annual variable compensation |
The Chief Executive Officer receives annual variable compensation, for which the Board, on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, defines each year financial and non-financial performance criteria that are diversified and demanding, precise and pre-established, allowing a complete analysis of performance. These criteria are aligned with the Company’s short- and medium-term strategy and represent significant inflection points in value.
These variable remuneration criteria support the objectives of the remuneration policy in the following ways: they are in line with the Company’s social interests, contribute to its long-term viability and are aligned with the Company’s development strategy.
Each year, the Board determines the rate of achievement of each objective, according to a predefined scale, of the annual variable compensation.
B-3
Table of Contents
For 2026, the criteria and objectives of the variable compensation are the following:
| Criteria |
% | Description | ||||
| Qualitative and |
35 | % | BLA 4-7 year-old preparedness | |||
| Quantitative |
35 | % | Blockbuster preparedness | |||
| 10 | % | Achieve a strong commercial label | ||||
| 20 | % | Managing the Company’s evolution to a commercial company | ||||
| TOTAL |
100 | % | ||||
The target amount of the annual variable compensation for the Chief Executive Officer is 100% of his fixed compensation and the maximum amount corresponds to 150% of the annual fixed compensation, it being specified that if the overall rate of achievement of the objectives predefined by the Board is less than 50% (interpreted strictly), no annual variable compensation would be due.
| • | Exceptional compensation |
The Board may decide, on the proposal of the Compensation Committee, to grant exceptional compensation to the Chief Executive Officer in view of very special circumstances, and unrelated to the fixed and variable remuneration components. The payment of this type of compensation must be justified by an event such as the completion of a major event for the Company. The amount of the exceptional compensation may not exceed a maximum of 25% of the annual fixed compensation.
The payment of the variable and, where applicable, exceptional compensation components allocated to the Chief Executive Officer for the past financial year is subject to the approval by the 2026 Annual General Meeting of the compensation components paid to him during or allocated to him for the said financial year (ex post vote).
| • | Long-term compensation |
The Company’s long-term compensation policy is part of an overall strategy to retain and motivate its managers and employees and to be competitive with market practices in the biotechnology industry.
At its February 13, 2026, meeting, the Board of Directors has amended the CEO’s long-term compensation policy as follows:
The long-term compensation policy implemented for the Chief Executive Officer is mainly based on the granting of free Ordinary Shares based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. Where applicable, these grants may be subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions that may be set by the Board at the time of grant.
The Chief Executive Officer may also be granted stock-options.
The vesting and exercise of the free Ordinary Shares and stock-options and the exercise of the stock-options are subject to the fulfilment of a presence condition for such duration and with such exceptions as may be set by the Board at the time of the grant. Additionally, the Chief Executive Officer may, in accordance with the law and methods adopted by the Board, be required to retain a significant number of Ordinary Shares in registered form.
B-4

| • | Benefits of any kind |
In addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of his duties, the Chief Executive Officer may be reimbursed for the cost of his tax consultations and will benefit from a tax equalization clause with respect to his status as a US resident. He may also be reimbursed for the costs of legal advice incurred in the performance of his duties.
The Chief Executive Officer may also benefit from the coverage by the Company of his residence expenses in France.
| • | Welcome bonus |
When a new Chief Executive Officer is appointed, the Board may decide, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, to grant compensation, indemnity or benefits on taking up his/her duties.
| • | Commitments made by the Company in the event of termination of the Chief Executive Officer’s term of office |
The Chief Executive Officer benefits from the following commitment:
| Commitments made by the Company |
Main characteristics |
Criteria for award |
Termination conditions | |||
| Severance indemnity | On December 12, 2018, the Board decided, in accordance with the recommendations of the Compensation Committee and in accordance with Article L.22-10-4 of the French Commercial Code, that in the event of termination of Mr. Daniel Tassé’s duties as Chief Executive Officer, for any reason whatsoever, he would be paid a severance payment provided that all criteria have been met.
This commitment was approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 24, 2019, in its fifth ordinary resolution. |
Severance package will therefore be paid to the Chief Executive Officer if all the following criteria are met: • Viaskin Peanut approved on a major market; • Construction of an EPIT pipeline with three trials in progress; • 6 months’ cash flow as determined by the expenses of the last quarter prior to the date on which he leaves his post.
Compliance with these performance conditions will be established by the Board prior to any payment. |
In the event of termination by the Company of the Chief Executive Officer’s mandate without cause or for valid reason, the Company shall pay an amount equal to the sum of: • 18 months’ gross remuneration; • 100% of any bonus paid. In the event of termination without cause or for good reason outside of a change of control, the severance benefits get paid out over 12 months.
In the event of termination without cause or for good in connection with a change of control, those same amounts get paid in a lump sum |
The Chief Executive Officer does not benefit from any agreement providing for the payment of compensation in the event of resignation from his corporate office to carry out new functions.
| • | Compensation policy for any other Executive Corporate Officer |
The principles and criteria for compensation mentioned above also apply to any Deputy Chief Executive Officers.
B-5
Table of Contents
Deputy Chief Executive Officers may therefore receive, pursuant to their mandate, fixed, variable and exceptional compensation as well as long-term compensation, benefits in kind and a welcome bonus under the same conditions as those described for the Chief Executive Officer.
They may also be granted free shares and stock-options. With respect to the allocation, if any, vesting and, where applicable, holding periods are defined by the Board at the time of the grant and comply with the authorizations of the General Meeting.
These levels of compensation will be determined taking into account the difficulty and degree of responsibility, experience in the position, seniority in the Company, and practices observed in comparable companies.
| • | Employment contract |
Deputy Chief Executive Officers may benefit from an employment contract. The variable and fixed portions of the compensation received by the Deputy Chief Executive Officers under their employment contract, distinct from their corporate mandate, are subject to the same rules and criteria for determination, distribution and allocation as those set for the Company’s employees.
Please refer to Annex E for information regarding the mandates and employment and/or service contracts of corporate officers entered into with the Company.
4/ Compensation policy for senior executives other than the Chief Executive Officer (“named executive officers”)
In accordance with US regulations, the 2026 Annual General Meeting will be asked to issue an advisory opinion on the compensation policy applicable to Virginie Boucinha, Chief Financial Officer, Kevin Trapp, Chief Commercial Officer and Pharis Mohideen, Chief Medical Officer, members of the Executive Committee and named executive officers within the meaning of US regulations (fourteenth resolution).
All components of their compensation policy presented hereunder are subject to the vote of the 14th resolution at the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
| • | Fixed compensation |
At its meeting on February 13, 2026, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the February 11, 2026, Compensation Committee, decided to set the fixed annual remuneration of the named executive officers as follows, subject to a consultative vote by the 2026 Annual General Meeting:
| • | for the Chief Medical Officer at 629,326 US dollars; |
| • | for the Chief Financial Officer at 319,042 euros (378,449 US dollars); and |
| • | for the Chief Commercial Officer at 500,000 US dollars. |
These fixed remunerations are payable on a bi-monthly basis for the US-based named executive officers and on a monthly basis for the France-based named executive officer.
As of the date of this document, these amounts are expected to be maintained for 2026.
| • | Annual variable compensation |
The Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Commercial Officer and the Chief Medical Officer each receive an annual variable compensation, with a target amount of 40% of their fixed compensation, which is finally determined by the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee.
B-6
Table of Contents
| • | Exceptional compensation |
At its meeting on February 13, 2026, the Board of Directors, acting on a proposal from the Compensation Committee, decided to maintain the possibility of exceptional remuneration for named executive officers in their 2026 compensation policy.
The Board of Directors may decide, on a proposal from the Compensation Committee, to grant exceptional remuneration to named executive officers in very specific circumstances unrelated to the fixed and variable components of their compensation. The payment of this type of compensation must be justified by an event such as the completion of a major transaction for the Company. The amount of the exceptional compensation thus decided may not exceed 20% of the annual fixed compensation.
| • | Exceptional compensation upon change of control |
In its decision of February 13, 2026, the Board of Directors maintained the US named executive officers compensation in the event of a change of control of the Company, as defined in Article L.233-3 of the French Commercial Code, and if their employment contract is terminated within twelve (12) months of such change of control:
| • | equivalent to twenty-four (24) months of fixed remuneration and twelve (12) months of variable remuneration (on a 100% basis). |
At the same meeting, the Board of Directors renewed with no expiry date the French named executive officers compensation in the same scenario and within the same levels of the US-based, subject to French law requirements.
| • | Long-term compensation |
The named executive officers are eligible to receive grants of stock options and free shares.
Subject to the approval of the 35th and 36th resolutions at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors may be authorized to grant stock options and free shares to the named executive officers. In accordance with these resolutions, the Board of Directors may determine whether the exercise of the stock options or the definitive vesting of the free shares is subject to performance conditions.
5/ Claw back policy
As a public company, if we are required to restate our financial results due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws as a result of misconduct, the Chief Executive Officer and the named executive officers may be legally required to reimburse the Company for any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation they receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended. Additionally, we have implemented a Dodd-Frank Act-compliant claw back policy, as required by SEC rules.
This provision of the compensation policy for the Chief Executive Officer was approved by a decision of the Board of Directors on November 20, 2023, in accordance with the Nasdaq rules deadline.

If the Depositary receives from an ADS Holder Voting Instructions which fail to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such ADS Holder’s ADSs, the Depositary will deem such ADS Holder to have instructed the Depositary to vote in favor of all resolutions endorsed by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”).

Additionally, the Company has informed the Depositary that, under French company law, shareholders holding a certain percentage of the Company’s Shares, the workers’ council or the Board of Directors may submit a new resolution and the Board of Directors may also modify the resolutions proposed in the Company’s Final Notice of Annual General Meeting. In such case, ADS Holders who have given prior instructions to vote on such resolutions shall be deemed to have voted in favor of the new or modified resolutions if approved by the Board of Directors and against if not approved by the Board of Directors.
Upon receipt from an ADS Holder (as of the ADS Record Date and who continues to hold the ADS as of the French Record Date) of a signed and completed Voting Instructions Card prior to the ADS Voting Instructions Deadline, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law and provisions of the Deposited Securities, to cause the Custodian to vote (or to cause to be voted by means of the appointment of a proxy or otherwise) the Shares in respect of which Voting Instructions have been received in accordance with the instructions contained therein.
