Rhea-AI Filing Summary

DBV Technologies S.A. files an amended annual report to add detailed Part III disclosures on governance, executive compensation, ownership and related-party transactions. The filing describes a 10‑member board with nine directors independent under Nasdaq rules and gender balance requirements under French law.

As of April 15, 2026, DBV had 296,042,447 ordinary shares outstanding and a public float valued at $250.9 million as of June 30, 2025. The company reports 2025 CEO compensation of $3.36 million, including salary, bonus and equity awards, and outlines its performance‑based pay philosophy and severance terms.

The document also details equity plans with 17.8 million awards outstanding and 17.7 million shares available, large April 2025 PIPE financing generating $125.5 million plus $195.2 million from January 2026 warrant exercises, and the holdings of major shareholders such as Baker Bros., Suvretta, MPM BioImpact and Janus.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Amendment focuses on governance, pay and prior PIPE financing disclosures.

The amendment mainly supplies narrative on board structure, committee independence, compensation design and ownership, which were previously reserved for a later proxy. It confirms a 10‑member board with strong independence metrics and French/US governance alignment.

Compensation is heavily performance‑linked, with the CEO able to earn up to 150% of salary as annual bonus and significant stock‑based long‑term incentives. This increases pay sensitivity to clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones, but also concentrates rewards in equity.

The filing reiterates that an April 2025 PIPE raised initial gross proceeds of $125.5 million, followed by $195.2 million from warrant exercises in January 2026. These transactions, already completed, materially increased cash resources and expanded the shareholder base, including large positions by Baker Bros. Advisors and Bpifrance.

Middlenext Code regulatory
"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."
audit committee financial expert regulatory
"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"
A person on a company’s board who has deep knowledge of accounting, financial reporting and auditing, able to understand and question the books, controls and audit work like a trained mechanic inspecting an engine. Investors care because that expertise helps spot errors, weaknesses or misleading statements early, improving the likelihood that financial reports are accurate and reducing the risk of surprises that can hurt a company’s value.
clawback policy financial
"we have adopted a clawback policy that provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers"
A clawback policy is a company rule that lets the firm take back pay, bonuses or stock awards from current or former executives if results are later found to be incorrect, misconduct occurred, or targets were missed. It matters to investors because it helps protect the value of their holdings by discouraging risky or fraudulent behavior and ensuring executive rewards reflect real, verified performance—think of it as a return policy for executive pay.

Corporate Governance
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.
 
5

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 m
ea
ning of the applicable Nasdaq Listing Standards: Michel de Rosen; Maïlys Ferrère; Michael J. Goller; Timothy E. Morris; Adora Ndu; Julie O’Neill; Philina Lee; Daniel Soland (who left the Board of Directors on September 18, 2025); Ravi M. Rao; and Danièle Guyot-Caparros and (ii) a majority of our Directors, as follows, other than Daniel Tassé, Michael J. Goller and Maïlys Ferrère, are independent Directors within the meaning of the MiddleNext Code: Michel de Rosen; Timothy E. Morris; Adora Ndu; Julie O’Neill; Philina Lee; Ravi M. Rao; Daniele Guyot-Caparros; and Daniel Soland.
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 determi
n
ed 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
L225-18-1
and
L22-10-3
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. When the company’s share capital exceeds €750,000, the portion of capital to be represented by the shareholder(s) requesting the inclusion of additional items or draft resolutions on the agenda of the General Meeting is reduced, depending on the size of that capital, as follows: a) 4% for the first €750,000; b) 2.50% for the portion of capital between €750,000 and €7,500,000; c) 1% for the portion of capital between €7,500,000 and €15,000,000; d) 0.50% for the remaining balance of the capital.
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 Standards 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

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

Our Audit Committee has, in addition to the legal provisions mentioned above, the main following responsibilities:

S-K
Item 404 and under article L.

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
 
10

Officer regarding cybersecurity and information technology risks, controls, and procedures, 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 Ordinary General Meeting. Renewal of KPMG S.A. for another term of office of six years is submitted to the vote of the 2026 Ordinary 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.

Section 16b-3

Section 16b-3

Autorité des marchés financiers
; and
 
   
the Company’s annual reports on Form
10-K,

reviewing and assessing the adequacy of the Compensation Committee’s charter at least annually and participating in the annual evaluation of the Compensation Committee’s performance as part of the Board’s annual assessment.
 
   
The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain or obtain the advice of compensation consultants, independent legal counsel and other advisers as it determines necessary or appropriate in the performance of its duties. 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 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
.

Members of the Nominating and Governance Committee may not receive any compensation from the Company except the fees received as a member of the Board or any committee thereof.
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 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.
 
14

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.
Securities Trading Policy
We have adopted a securities trading policy (the “Securities Trading Policy”) governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of the Company’s securities by Directors, officers and employees that is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, as well as procedures designed to further the foregoing purposes. This Securities Trading Policy has been prepared on the basis of the EU Regulation and in compliance with the French
Autorité des Marchés Financiers
(“AMF”) Position-Recommendation
No. 2016-08
of October 26, 2016 (Guide to Permanent Information and the Management of Inside Information) and the US Regulations implemented and enforced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This Policy also reflects best practices for dual-listed public companies. A copy of our Securities Trading Policy is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Within insiders, the Securities Trading Policy distinguishes permanent insiders (board members, executive officers, executive committee members and certain other employees), financial insiders (employees, mainly in legal, finance, accounting and similar functions, with regular access to inside information) and occasional insiders (persons with access to inside information in relation to specific projects). All insiders are prohibited from trading and engaging in certain types of transactions involving Company securities while in possession of inside information. Permanent insiders and financial insiders are also subject to scheduled blackout periods established in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The prohibition on trading covers hedging or monetization transactions or similar arrangements involving Company securities, including, without limitation, transactions using puts, calls, collars, prepaid variable forward contracts and exchange funds. In addition, transactions in publicly traded options on the Company’s securities (puts, calls or other derivative securities, whether on an exchange or in any other organized market) are prohibited, as are purchasing Company securities on margin, borrowing against accounts holding Company securities, or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.
 
15

Our Securities Trading Policy prohibits our employees and Directors who are insiders from trading and engaging in “hedging” with respect to Company securities.
Delinquent Section 16(A) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our Directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Officers, Directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports filed on the SEC’s EDGAR system and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the following reports were not filed on a timely basis: three Form 3 filings for each of Bpifrance SA, Bpifrance Investissement S.A.S, and EPIC Bpifrance, respectively, each with a reporting date of March 27, 2025, were filed on April 7, 2025, April 24, 2025 and May 20, 2025, respectively; one Form 3 filing for Philina Lee with a reporting date of November 9, 2025, was filed on April 16, 2026; one Form 4 with a reporting date of May 22, 2025, was filed on May 27, 2025; and one Form 4 with a reporting date of November 20, 2025, was filed on November 25, 2025. Other than as set forth above, to our knowledge, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, Directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
This section sets out the compensation policy applied by the Company during the 2025 financial year. The 2026 Annual General Meeting will be asked to vote on changes to this compensation policy. These changes will be detailed in the Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Compensation Philosophy and Strategy of Our Employees and Executive Officers
At DBV, we have a competitive and innovative way to reward our employees. Our reward system builds on the foundations of our company culture, what we refer to as the 4C’s – Courage, Curiosity, Collaboration and Credibility. We incentivize our employees for value creation and align our activities to the benefits of our stakeholders: patients, shareholders and broad society.
As we navigate a competitive market environment, we benchmark against similarly sized U.S. and French biopharmaceutical companies to offer the best possible compensation elements to meet our goals. We refer to this approach as total rewards. Moreover, we not only use competitive financial rewards but also prioritize internal talent development as foundational to our future success. Our total rewards strive to ensure we are and remain attractive to current and prospective talent in the biopharmaceutical market. We foster a culture of performance to reward contribution to the company’s achievements, as well as behaviors that reflect our culture, our 4C’s (the “Total Rewards Policy”).
Our Total Rewards Policy, reviewed annually, consists of:
 
   
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.
The overall objectives of the compensation policies and programs of our executive officers are to:
 
   
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.
In establishing specific compensation levels for our executive officers, we consider benchmarking information provided from our independent compensation consultant.
Our executive compensation program generally consists of, and is intended to strike a balance among, the following three principal components: base salary, annual performance-based incentives and long-term incentive compensation. Our compensation philosophy with respect to these elements is as follows:
 
   
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.
 
18

   
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.
 
   
Long-term incentives
(at-risk
equity)
:
 
   
Value in the biotechnology industry is often created over a few years. We seek to align employee’s 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.
The Compensation Committee aims to structure a significant portion of the named executive officers’ total target compensation to be comprised of performance-based bonus opportunities and LTIs, in order to align the named executive officers’ incentives with the interests of our stockholders and our corporate objectives. In evaluating our executive compensation policies and programs, as well as the short-term and long-term value of our executive compensation plans, we consider both the performance and skills of each of our executives, as well as the compensation paid to executives at similar companies with similar responsibilities. We focus on providing a competitive compensation package which provides significant short-term and long-term incentives for the achievement of measurable corporate objectives. We believe this approach provides an appropriate blend of short-term and long-term incentives to maximize stockholder value.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
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.
 
19

For the fiscal year 2025, 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.
For 2025, the criteria and objectives of the variable compensation were the following:
 
Criteria
   %  
Description
Qualitative and Quantitative
   35%   Clinical studies and preparation of BLA files for medium-term commercialization, advancing
pre-clinical
programs
   35%   Maintaining financial stability, managing liquidity and necessary investments
   30%   Advance marketing preparations, manage company capacity, and promote employee development
Total
   100%  
The maximum amount of annual variable compensation for the Chief Executive Officer 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 next Annual General Meeting of the compensation components paid to him during or allocated to him for the said financial year (ex post vote).
No exceptional compensation was awarded to the Chief Executive Officer for 2025.

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.
The long-term compensation policy implemented for the Chief Executive Officer is mainly based on the granting of stock-options 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 vesting and exercise of the stock-options are subject to the fulfillment of a presence condition. 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.
The Chief Executive Officer may also be granted free Ordinary Shares.
 
   
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 benefit 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

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.225-42-1
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 Annual General 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.
 
   
Clawback 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 Chief Financial Officer 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, in compliance with Rule
10D-1
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608, we have adopted a clawback policy that provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers in the event of a required accounting restatement.
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 Listing Rules.
Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information
From time to time, the Board of Directors grants restricted stock units (“RSU”) and/or stock options (“SO”) to its employees, including the named executive officers. Historically, the Board of Directors has granted
new-hire
RSU and/or SO awards on or soon after a new hire’s employment start date and annual employee RSU and SO grants in the last quarter of each fiscal year, which grants are typically recommended by the regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee occurring in such quarter. The Company’s typical practice is to grant annual employee RSU and SO on the same day in which such grant is approved by the Board of Directors.
The Company does not otherwise maintain any written policies on the timing of awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar instruments with option-like features. Because the Compensation Committee has a practice of generally granting RSU and SO within the last quarter of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee generally does not take material
non-public
information (“MNPI”) into account when determining the timing of awards and it does not seek to time the award of
 
22

stock options in relation to the Company’s public disclosure of MNPI. The Company has not timed the release of MNPI for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. In any case, in accordance with article
L.22-10-56
of the French Commercial Code, SO may not be granted (i) during the
ten-day
period preceding the date of release of the annual and half-year financial statements, including the date of their release, and (ii) from the date on which the executive management becomes aware of inside information within the meaning of article 7 of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (Market Abuse Regulation) until the publication of such inside information.
Executive Compensation Arrangements
For a discussion of our employment arrangements with our executive officers, see “Certain Relationships And Related Person Transactions, and Director Independence—Related-Party Transactions—Agreements with Our Directors and Executive Officers.” Except as disclosed therein, there are no arrangements or understandings between us and any of our other executive officers providing for benefits upon termination of their employment, other than as required by applicable law.
French Law Requirements Related to Corporate Officers’ Compensation
Ex-ante
and
Ex-post
Votes of the Annual General Meeting
French laws applicable to our Company require that all types of compensation granted to certain corporate officers be presented and approved by the Annual General Meeting, on one hand for the compensation policy applicable to these corporate officers for the coming year
(ex-ante
vote) and on the other hand for the compensation that was granted to these named executive officers for the past year
(ex-post
vote). In compliance with US applicable laws, DBV also submits to the Annual General Meeting a consultative vote on the compensation policy of the named executive officers for the coming year
(ex-ante
vote).
Decision Making Process for the Determination of the Corporate Officers’ Compensation Policy
The determination, review and implementation of the compensation policy for each of the corporate officers (Chairman of the Board, Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Deputy Chief Executive Officers, if any) is carried out by the Board on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors systematically meet in the absence of the Chief Executive Officer and the management team to discuss the establishment of the compensation policy for corporate officers. When the Board decides on a compensation component or a commitment in favor of the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, the interested party may not take part in the deliberations or vote on the component or commitment concerned.
Such compensation policy is submitted to the vote of our Annual General Meeting
(ex-ante
vote). No compensation component, of any nature whatsoever, may be determined, allocated or paid by our Company, nor any commitment made by our Company if it is not in accordance with the approved compensation policy.
In the event of a change in governance, the compensation policy will be applied to the Company’s new corporate officers, with necessary adjustments where applicable.
Compensation Policy Principles and Objectives
When setting the compensation policy, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors ensure that it complies with the Company’s corporate interests, contributes to its long-term viability and is in line with its business strategy, notably through variable remuneration targets and, where applicable, performance conditions. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors seek to ensure consistency with market and industry practices, in order to ensure (i) competitive levels of remuneration, (ii) a close link between the Company’s performance and the remuneration of its officers, and in particular the maintenance of a balance between short-term and medium/long-term performance, (iii) compliance with the principles of the Middlenext Code on which the level and terms of the officers remuneration are based, and (iv) compliance with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, including Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d) relating to compensation committee independence, authority and responsibilities.
 
23

The governance standards taken into account by the Board of Directors in determining the total compensation of corporate officers are those set out in recommendation R16 of the Middlenext Code, as well as the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules:
 
   
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.
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors also take into account the votes cast at previous Annual General Meetings on the remuneration policy for corporate officers.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification Matters
Under French law, provisions of by-laws that limit the liability of directors are prohibited. However, French law allows sociétés anonymes to contract for and maintain liability insurance against civil liabilities incurred by any of their directors and officers involved in a third-party action, provided that they acted in good faith and within their capacities as directors or officers of the company. Criminal liability cannot be indemnified under French law, whether directly by the company or through liability insurance.
We maintain liability insurance for our Directors and executive officers, including insurance against liability under the Securities Act, and we intend to enter into agreements with our Directors and executive officers to provide contractual indemnification. With certain exceptions and subject to limitations on indemnification under French law, these agreements will provide for indemnification for damages and expenses including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her actions in that capacity. We believe that this insurance and these agreements are necessary to attract qualified directors and executive officers.
These agreements may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our Directors and executive officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our Directors and executive officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against Directors and executive officers pursuant to these insurance agreements.
Certain of our non-employee Directors may, through their relationships with their employers or partnerships, be insured against certain liabilities in their capacity as members of the Board of Directors.

Compensation Policy for the Chairman of the Board and for Directors
The compensation policy mentioned below is applicable, respectively, to the Chairman of the Board, when he/she does not hold the position of Chief Executive Officer, and Directors. The components of the total compensation and benefits of any kind that may be granted to the Chairman and Directors in respect of their mandates, as well as their respective importance, are as follows:
 
   
Fixed compensation
The Chairman of the Board may receive an annual fixed compensation, which is determined in respect of practices noted in comparable companies, and which takes into account his specific functions as well as his membership of one or more committees, if applicable. For information purposes, as of the date of this report, the annual fixed compensation is maintained at 150,000 euros on a monthly basis.
 
   
Compensation at the end of the mandate
The Chairman of the Board does not benefit from any agreement providing for an indemnity in the event of termination of his corporate mandate.
 
25

   
Compensation paid in respect of Director duties
In the 15
th
ordinary resolution that became effective after the vote of the June 11, 2025, Annual General Meeting, the Directors remuneration was set at the maximum annual sum of 900,000 euros, for the 2025 financial year and until further decision of the Annual General Meeting.
The criteria for allocating the fixed annual sum allocated by the Annual General Meeting to the directors were set by the Board on the proposal of the Compensation Committee and take into account Committee membership and Committee chairmanship.
As of the date of this report, and for information purposes, the allocation of Director compensation is the following:
 
   
each Director, with the exception of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, is entitled to receive 100,000 euros.
 
   
the chairman of the Audit Committee is entitled to receive an additional compensation of 20,000 euros.
 
   
the chairman of the Compensation Committee is entitled to receive an additional compensation of 10,000 euros.
 
   
the chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee is entitled to receive an additional compensation of 10,000 euros.
 
   
The members of the above-mentioned committees are entitled to receive an additional compensation of 5,000 euros.
The above allocation of compensation is calculated by considering the presence (physical or by means of videoconference or telecommunication means allowing their identification and guaranteeing their effective participation) of each member as follows:
 
(a)
For attendance at least 90% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Committees scheduled during the year: the Director will be entitled to 100% of the amounts referred to above;
 
(b)
For attendance at less than 90% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Committees scheduled during the financial year: the compensation is calculated on a pro rata basis according to the actual attendance of the Director concerned.
Ms. Ferrère waived her compensation since her joining the Board of Directors.
 
   
Long-term compensation
The Company bases its long-term compensation policy on a global strategy of retention and motivation that is competitive in terms of market practices in the biotechnology industry.
Pursuant to this compensation policy, the Company may decide to grant share subscription warrants (“BSA”), at fair market value, to the Chairman of the Board and/or directors.
It being specified that the granting of stock options or restricted stock units to Directors is not allowed under French law, unless a Director is also (i) an employee or (ii) Chief Executive Officer or (iii) Chairman of the Board.
 
   
Benefits of any kind
The Chairman of the Board and Board members may be entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses incurred in the interest of the Company, including attendance at meetings of the Board.
 
   
Compensation for exceptional missions
Under Article L.
225-46
of the French Commercial Code, Directors may receive occasional cash compensation for specific assignments outside their normal duties. Such compensation is subject to the related party agreements transactions referred to in Article L.
225-38
of the French Commercial Code, which requires prior approval by the Board, a special report of the statutory auditors and a specific vote of the Annual General Meeting.
This flexibility is not included in the annual budget allocated to Directors.
 
   
Services agreements
The Company may enter into services agreements with any Director for assignments that are distinct from their duties as Directors. Such agreement is subject to the related party agreements approval procedure referred to in Article L.
225-38
of the French Commercial Code, which requires prior approval by the Board, a special report of the statutory auditors and a specific vote of the Annual General Meeting.

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 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.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

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.

 

31


Table of Contents

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 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.

Table of Contents

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.

 

33


Table of Contents

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.

Dr. Pharis Mohideen. 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. In the event of termination “without cause” or for “good reason,” we will pay an amount equal to the sum of 12 months of Dr. Mohideen’s base salary in equal installments over a 12-month period.

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.

Kevin Trapp. In November 2025, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Trapp, our Chief Commercial Officer (the “Trapp Employment Agreement”). Mr. Trapp is entitled to an annual base salary and an annual bonus with a target amount of 40% of the base salary. 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. In the event such termination occurs within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, Mr. Trapp 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. Trapp’s execution of a release of claims.

Director and Executive Officer Compensation

See “Executive Compensation” for information regarding compensation of Directors and executive officers.

Equity Awards

See “Executive Compensation” for further information regarding equity awards to Directors and executive officers.

Bonus Plans

All our executive officers are entitled to a bonus ranging between 40% and 150% based on yearly objectives determined by our Board of Directors upon recommendation of our Compensation Committee.

Indemnification Agreements

We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our Directors and executive officers. See “Executive Compensation—Limitations on Liability and Indemnification Matters” above.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Director Independence

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 firms’ 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.
