DBV Technologies Announces Closing of Global Offering

DBV Technologies (the “Company”) (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced the settlement and delivery on February 4, 2020 of an underwritten global offering of an aggregate of 7,500,000 ordinary shares in (i) a public offering of 4,535,581 ordinary shares in the form of 9,071,162 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) in the United States, Canada and certain countries outside Europe at a public offering price of $10.25 per ADS (on the basis of an exchange rate of $1.0999 = €1.00), and (ii) an offering exclusively addressed to qualified investors in Europe (including France) of 2,964,419 ordinary shares at an offering price of €18.63 per ordinary share (together, the “Global Offering”). The Company has granted the underwriters a 30-day overallotment option allowing them to purchase, on the same terms and conditions, up to 1,125,000 additional ordinary shares in the form of 2,250,000 ADSs. The total gross proceeds from the global offering were approximately $153.7 million (approximately €139.8 million), before deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses. Each ADS represents the right to receive one-half of one ordinary share. The ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “DBVT”, and the Company’s ordinary shares are listed on Euronext Paris under the symbol “DBV”.

Goldman Sachs and Citigroup acted as joint lead book-running managers for the Global Offering. JMP Securities acted as lead manager for the Global Offering. H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Kempen & Co acted as co-managers for the Global Offering.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Global Offering, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents, primarily to prepare for the commercialization of Viaskin Peanut, including marketing efforts related to launch in the second half of 2020, if approved, as well as to advance the discovery and development of product candidates using its Viaskin Platform and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Based on the Company’s current operations, plans and assumptions, the Company expects the net proceeds from the Global Offering, combined with the Company’s current operating capital, to fund the Company’s operations into the first quarter of 2021. The Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital in the future as it commercializes Viaskin Peanut, if approved, and continue to discover and develop other product candidates using its Viaskin Platform. The Company may finance its future cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings and potential collaborations, and license and development agreements.

A registration statement on Form F-3 relating to the securities to be issued in the Global Offering was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and was declared effective on October 1, 2019. The Global Offering of ordinary shares in the form of ADSs was made only by means of a written prospectus and prospectus supplement that form a part of the registration statement on Form F-3, as well as a free writing prospectus related to the Global Offering.  A free writing prospectus and a final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to and describing the terms of the offering were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. Copies of the final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus may also be obtained for free from: Goldman Sachs, Attention: Prospectus Department, 200 West Street, New York, NY 10282, via telephone: 1-866-471-2526, facsimile: +1 212-902-9316 or via email: prospectusgroup-ny@ny.email.gs.com; or Citigroup, c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, 1155 Long Island Avenue, Edgewood, New York, 11717 or via telephone: +1 800- 831-9146.
