The shareholders of INVENTIVA are informed that the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting will be held on May 19, 2022 at 2 p.m., at: Hôtel Oceania Le Jura - 14 avenue Foch - 21000 Dijon, France.

COVID-19 WARNING

In the context of the COVID-19 epidemic, the Company may have to modify the methods for participating in the General Meeting of May 19, 2022 depending on health and/or legal and regulatory requirements.

Consequently, shareholders are invited to regularly visit the section dedicated to the General Meeting on the Company's website (www.Inventivapharma.com) which could be updated to specify the final method of participation in this General Meeting.

In addition, considering the circulation of the COVID 19 virus, the Board of Directors calls for the utmost caution in this context and recommends that each shareholder give preference to voting remotely or by proxy to the Chairman rather than being physically present.

The Company has taken all measures to facilitate remote voting so that shareholders can also vote without physically participating in the General Meeting by remote voting means (postal vote or proxy), using the voting form provided for this purpose, available on Inventiva's website (www.Inventivapharma.com, in the Investor's Section, subsection documentation - General Meetings) or via Internet on the secured voting plateform Votaccess.

If you have questions related to the General Meeting, our Investor Relations team can be contacted by email: inventiva@brunswickgroup.com.

Pursuant to the provisions of Article R. 22-10-28, III, of the French Commercial Code, once a shareholder votes remotely, sends a proxy or asks for an admission card or a certificate to participate in the General Meeting, he or she will not be able to choose another method of participation.

1.	Vote by physically attending the General Meeting

The shareholders wishing to personally attend the General Meeting must request an admission card as soon as possible to receive the card in a timely manner:

-	For registered shareholders: either by returning the single form duly completed and signed using<br>the pre-paid reply envelope enclosed with the invitation received by post mail to the Services des Assemblées (SGSS/SBO/CIS/ISS/GMS)<br>of Société Générale, CS 30812, 44308 Nantes Cedex; or by logging in on the website www.sharinbox.societegenerale.com<br>using their usual access codes to access the voting site; the registered shareholder who would not have received her admission card may<br>spontaneously attend the General Meeting with an identification document.

They must then follow the procedure described<br>on the screen; they also may give or revoke a proxy by sending an e-mail with an electronic signature, obtained by them from a third party<br>certifier duly authorized pursuant to legal and regulatory provisions in force, to the electronic address Inventiva_AG@inventivapharma.com<br>specifying, as for pure registered shareholders, their name, first name, address and their Société Générale<br>access code (information available at the top left of their account statement), or, as for administered registered shareholders, their<br>access code with their authorized intermediary, as well as the name, first name and address of the appointed or revoked agent;
