DBV Technologies (the “Company”) (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the underwriters for its previously announced global offering reserved to specified categories of investors have exercised in full their option to purchase 782,608 additional ordinary shares in the form of 1,565,216 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), at an offering price of $6.75 per ADS, before deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses (the “Option”).  Each ADS represents the right to receive one-half of one ordinary share, and the offering price of $6.75 per ADS corresponds to a price of €12.02 per ordinary share (on the basis of an exchange rate of $1.1233 = €1.00). The closing of the Option is expected to occur on April 8, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions, concurrently with the balance of the global offering.

Consequently, following exercise of the Option, the total number of ordinary shares sold in the global offering is 6,000,000 ordinary shares, including 2,447,500 ordinary shares in the form of 4,895,000 ADSs, bringing the total gross proceeds from the global offering to approximately $81.0 million (€72.1 million).

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Citigroup acted as joint lead book-running managers for the global offering. H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as lead manager for the global offering. No stabilization activity has been undertaken and the stabilization period is now closed.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the global offering, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents, to fund the development and, if approved, prepare for the commercialization of Viaskin Peanut, to advance development of the Company’s other product candidates and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
