subject to the condition precedent of the adoption of (i) resolutions 49 to 57, relating to the issuance of BSA-BSAs to named persons in connection with the T2 Offering and the cancellation of shareholders' preemptive subscription rights in favor of the said persons, (ii) resolutions 34 to 48 following, relating to the cancellation of shareholders' preemptive subscription rights for the benefit of the persons named therein (together the ABSAs Beneficiaries, the ABSAs Beneficiaries who have expressed the wish to subscribe to ABSAs rather than BSA-BSAs) pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-138 of the French Commercial Code, and, (iii) the foregoing resolutions 5 to 32 relating to the T1 bis Offering, it being specified that all the resolutions referred to in (i) to (iii) form an inseparable whole with this resolution and are interdependent:

 

1.

2. Decides that each ABSA Beneficiary shall be entitled to subscribe for (i) the "N" number of ABSAs calculated as set out in the table opposite its name in the number of resolutions 34 to 48 cancelling the preemptive subscription right in its favor and, where applicable, (ii), in excess of such N-number, to an additional number of ABSAs determined as follows, in the event that one or more ABSAs Beneficiaries do not subscribe to the number of ABSAs reserved for them (the Unsubscribed ABSAs). Each ABSA Beneficiary may indicate at the time of subscription the maximum number of additional ABSAs to which he wishes to subscribe. If the total of additional ABSA requests is less than or equal to the total of Unsubscribed ABSAs, each ABSA Beneficiary may subscribe to the number of ABSAs that he or she has indicated. If the total number of additional ABSA requests exceeds the total number of Unsubscribed ABSAs, a reduction in additional requests will be made under the same conditions as those provided for the reduction of reducible requests in the case of an offering with preferential subscription rights (each ABSA Beneficiary having a right proportional to its participation in the T1 Offering and the T1 bis Offering) and each ABSA Beneficiary will be able to subscribe to the number "N'' of ABSAs that will result from this calculation. If, at the end of this process, all Unsubscribed ABSAs have not been subscribed, the Unsubscribed ABSAs that have not been the subject of a request by the ABSAs Beneficiaries at the end of this process (the Unsubscribed ABSAs Balance) will be offered to the Beneficiaries of BSA-BSAs (as this term is defined in Resolution 49).

Exercise Period

The T3 BSAs are exercisable for a period beginning on the day of the Company's publication of topline data announcing that any key primary endpoint or key secondary endpoint of NATiV3 (resolution of NASH without worsening fibrosis and improvement of liver fibrosis without worsening NASH), with any dosage regimen tested in the trial, have been met no later than June 15, 2027 (the T3 Triggering Event) and ending on the earlier of (x) the 45th calendar day following the day on which the T3 Triggering Event occurred and (y) the third business day (inclusive) prior to the T3 BSAs Maturity Date (the Maturity Date). Investors may renounce the T3 Triggering Event in which case the T3 BSAs may be exercised until the Maturity Date, without the need for the T3 Triggering Event to take place, with the prior agreement of investors representing 60% of all holders of the T3 BSAs in one of the following cases: (i) a person, alone or in concert, acquires control of the Company (control having the meaning provided for in Article L. 233-3 of the French Commercial Code), (ii) the announcement or filing of a tender offer, exchange offer, alternative offer, blended offer relating to the Company, (iii) a merger by which the interests of the Company's shareholders are diluted by 30% or more or (iv) the sale or transfer of significant rights or assets relating to lanifibranor to a person or entity in which the Company holds less than 51% of the capital or voting rights or (v) an agreement relating to lanifibranor that has or may reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition or prospects.

FORTY-NINTH RESOLUTION (Decision to issue share subscription warrants to share subscription warrants, without shareholders’ preemptive subscription rights to the benefit of named persons and delegation of authority to the Board of Directors)

 

The General Meeting, deliberating in accordance with the quorum and majority requirements for ordinary general meetings, having reviewed the Board of Directors’ report and the Statutory Auditors’ special report, prepared in accordance with the provisions of Articles L. 225-135, L. 225-138 and L. 228-92 of the French Commercial Code, and duly noting that the share capital has been fully paid up, acting pursuant to the provisions of Articles L. 22-10-49, L. 225-129, L. 225-129-1, L. 225-129-2, L. 225-129-5, L. 225-135 and L. 225-138 and L. 228-91 et seq. of the French Commercial Code,

 

having acquainted itself that the Company proceeded on October 11, 2024, in the context of a capital increase without shareholders’ preemptive subscription rights to the benefit of categories of persons, in accordance with Article L. 225-138 of the French Commercial Code, to the issuance, fully subscribed in cash, of (i) 34,600,507 new ordinary shares for a total gross amount, including issue premium, of EUR 46,710,684.45 and (ii) 35,399,481 pre-funded warrants, for a total gross amount, including issue premium, of EUR 47,435,304.54 at the time of issuance and increased to EUR 47,789,299.35 in the event of exercise of all pre-funded warrants (the “T1 Offering”) and the commitment made by the subscribers of the T1 Offering, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set out in the Company's press release published on October 14, 2024, to subscribe to an issuance (the “T1bis Offering”) of new ordinary shares or pre-funded warrants and, subject to the satisfaction or exercise (by subscribers representing 60% of all ABSAs and BSA-BSAs) the conditions precedent set out in the Company's press release published on October 14, 2024 relating to the issuance subject to this resolution (the “T2 Offering Conditions Precedent”), to an offering (the “T2 Offering”) of new ordinary shares, each attached with a warrant to subscribe for shares of the Company (the “ABSAs”) or pre-funded warrants (the T2 BSAs) each attached with a warrant to subscribe for shares of the Company (the “BSA-BSAs”) reserved for them, the warrants attached to the ABSAs and the BSA-BSAs having the same characteristics (the T3 BSAs),

 

31 

 

 

subject to the condition precedent of the adoption of (i) resolutions 33 to 48, relating to the issuance of ABSAs to named persons in connection with the T2 Offering and the cancellation of shareholders' preemptive subscription rights in favor of the said persons, (ii) resolutions 50 and 57 following, relating to the cancellation of shareholders' preemptive subscription rights for the benefit of the persons named therein (together the “BSA-BSAs Beneficiaries”, the BSA-BSAs Beneficiaries being also subscribers of the T1 Offering and the T1 bis Offering who have expressed the wish to subscribe to BSA-BSAs rather than ABSAs) pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-138 of the French Commercial Code, and, (iii) the resolutions 5 to 32 in the context of the T1 bis Issue, it being specified that all the resolutions referred to in (i) to (iii) form an inseparable whole with this resolution and are interdependent:

 

1. Decides to proceed with the issuance, with cancellation of shareholders' preemptive subscription rights in favor of the BSA-BSAs Beneficiaries, of a maximum number of BSA-BSAs equal to the natural number immediately greater than 58,639,998.60 divided by P2 where (i) the sum of this amount of 58,639,998.60 and that of 57,359,992 referred to in 1. of resolution 49 corresponds to the total amount of the T2 Offering (including the total amount for the exercise of the T2 BSAs, but excluding the total amount for the exercise of the T3 BSAs), i.e. approximately EUR 116 million, and (ii) P2 is the sum of the subscription price of a BSA-BSA calculated as indicated in paragraph 3. below and of EUR 0.01, up to a limit of EUR 86,874,072, i.e. a maximum nominal amount of capital increase likely to result from the exercise of the T2 BSAs of EUR 868,740.72, to which may be added the nominal amount of the shares to be issued in order to preserve the rights of the holders of the T2 BSAs, excluding the capital increase following the exercise of the T3 BSAs attached to the T2 BSAs, it being specified that the said maximum nominal amount is not deducted from the nominal amount of the capital increase of seven hundred thousand euros (EUR 700,000) set out in 3) of the 21st resolution of the Combined general meeting of June 20, 2024;

 

2. Decides that each BSA-BSAs Beneficiary shall have the right to subscribe for (i) the number "N" of BSA-BSAs calculated as indicated in the table opposite its name in the number of resolutions 50 and 57 cancelling the preemptive subscription right in its favor and, where applicable (or in the case of resolutions 50 to 53 to the maximum number of "N" of BSA-BSAs appearing opposite its name in these resolutions), (ii), beyond this number N, to an additional number of BSA-BSAs determined as follows, in the event that one or more BSA-BSAs Beneficiaries do not subscribe to the number of BSA-BSAs reserved for them (the Unsubscribed BSA-BSAs). Each BSA-BSAs Beneficiary may indicate at the time of subscription the maximum number of additional BSAs to which he or she wishes to subscribe. If the total number of additional BSA-BSAs requests is less than or equal to the total of Unsubscribed BSA-BSAs, each BSA-BSAs Beneficiary may subscribe to the number of BSA-BSAs that he or she has indicated. If the total number of requests for additional BSA-BSAs exceeds the total number of Unsubscribed BSAs, a reduction in additional requests will be made under the same conditions as those provided for the reduction of requests on a reducible basis in the case of an offering with preferential subscription rights (each BSA-BSAs Beneficiary having a right proportional to its participation in the T1 Offering and the T1 bis Offering) and each BSA-BSA Beneficiary may subscribe to the number "N'' of BSA-BSAs resulting from this calculation. If, at the end of this process, all the Unsubscribed BSA-BSAs have not been subscribed, the Unsubscribed BSA-BSAs that have not been requested by the Beneficiaries of the BSA-BSAs (the Balance of the Unsubscribed BSA-BSAs) will be offered to the Beneficiaries of the ABSAs (as this term is defined in Resolution 33). If the total number of BSA-BSAs requests by the ABSAs Beneficiaries exceeds the Balance of the Unsubscribed BSA-BSAs, a reduction in the additional requests will be made under the same conditions as those provided for the ABSAs Beneficiaries. The Board of Directors will thus distribute the Unsubscribed BSA-BSAs by applying this rule and by allocating the BSA-BSAs forming a fractional basis as the Board of Directors as the case may be decided;

 

3. Delegates full authority to the Board of Directors to set the subscription price per BSA-BSA, P2, which must be equal to the lesser of (i) 1 euro and thirty-five cents (EUR 1.35), and (ii) the weighted average of the prices of the last five trading days on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris preceding the Board of Directors' decision, or the Chief Executive Officer, where applicable, rounded down to the nearest or equal hundredth of a euro, minus EUR 0.01;

 

4. Decides that the subscription price of the BSA-BSAs issued under this resolution shall be paid up in full upon subscription, by payment in cash, by payment in cash and/or by set-off against liquid and payable receivables, at the time of their subscription;

 

5. Decides that if the subscriptions have not absorbed the entire issuance decided by this resolution, the Board of Directors may limit the amount of the said issuance to the amount of the subscriptions received, subject to the agreement of the subscribers representing 60% of all the ABSAs and BSA-BSAs (excluding the ABSAs and BSA-BSAs for which the subscriptions have not been received);

 

6. Decides that the T2 BSAs and the T3 BSAs that together make up the BSA-BSAs will be detached as soon as they are issued;

 

7. Recalls that the ordinary shares to be issued under this resolution, upon exercise of the T2 BSAs or T3 BSAs, will be the subject of an application for admission to trading on the regulated market Euronext Paris;

 

32 

 

 

8. Decides to set the main terms and conditions of the T2 BSAs as follows:

 

General T2 BSAs are transferable securities giving access to capital within the meaning of Article L. 228-91 et seq. of the French Commercial Code. They will not be admitted to trading on the regulated market Euronext Paris or any other market for the exchange of financial securities.
Exercise Period The T2 BSAs are exercisable for a period of ten (10) years from their date of issuance. The T2 BSAs not exercised within this period become null and void, and thus lose all value and all rights attached to them.
Ratio Each T2 BSA will entitle the Company to one new ordinary share, subject to the adjustment clauses set out in the T2 BSAs specifications.
Exercise price and exercise conditions Each new ordinary share subscribed through the exercise of a T2 BSA will be subscribed at a price of EUR 0.01 (without prejudice to the adjustment clauses set out in the characteristics of the T2 BSAs), it being recalled that the BSA-BSAs will be subscribed at an issue price equal to that of the ABSAs minus the nominal value of one ordinary share, i.e. EUR 0.01. The subscription price of the Company's shares issued upon exercise of the T2 BSAs must be fully paid up, at the time of exercise of the share subscription warrants, in cash (the holders must be personally responsible for any fractional shares).
Rights attached to shares resulting from the exercise of share subscription warrants and dividend date The ordinary shares to be issued in the event of the exercise of the T2 BSAs will be ordinary shares of the same class as the Company's existing ordinary shares. They will carry current dividend rights, will be assimilated to existing shares and will be subject to all the provisions of the Company's articles of incorporation as well as to the decisions of shareholders' meetings from their date of issuance.
Admission to trading of shares resulting from the exercise of share subscription warrants The ordinary shares to be issued in the event of the exercise of the T2 BSAs will be the subject of an application for admission to trading on the regulated market Euronext Paris on the same listing line as the Company's existing shares.
Retention of rights of holders of share purchase warrants The rights of holders of share subscription warrants in the event of financial transactions will be maintained by adjusting the exercise conditions.

 

9. Decides to set the main terms and conditions of the T3 BSAs as follows:

 

General T3 BSAs are transferable securities giving access to capital within the meaning of Article L. 228-91 et seq. of the French Commercial Code. They will not be admitted to trading on the regulated market Euronext Paris or any other market for the exchange of financial securities.
Exercise Period

The T3 BSAs are exercisable for a period beginning on the day of the Company's publication of topline data announcing that any key primary endpoint or key secondary endpoint of NATiV3 (resolution of NASH without worsening fibrosis and improvement of liver fibrosis without worsening NASH), with any dosage regimen tested in the trial, have been met no later than June 15, 2027 (the T3 Triggering Event) and ending on the earlier of (x) the 45th calendar day following the day on which the T3 Triggering Event occurred and (y) the third business day (inclusive) prior to the T3 BSA Maturity Date (the Maturity Date). Investors may renounce the T3 Triggering Event in which case the T3 BSAs may be exercised until the Maturity Date, without the need for the T3 Triggering Event to take place, with the prior agreement of investors representing 60% of all holders of the T3 BSAs in one of the following cases: (i) a person, alone or in concert, acquires control of the Company (control having the meaning provided for in Article L. 233-3 of the French Commercial Code), (ii) the announcement or filing of a tender offer, exchange offer, alternative offer, blended offer relating to the Company, (iii) a merger by which the interests of the Company's shareholders are diluted by 30% or more or (iv) the sale or transfer of significant rights or assets relating to lanifibranor to an entity in which the Company holds less than 51% of the capital or voting rights or (v) an agreement relating to lanifibranor that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition or prospects.

 

T3 BSAs not exercised within this period become null and void, and thus lose all value and all rights attached to them.

 

33 

 

 

Ratio Each T3 BSA will entitle the Company to R new ordinary shares, where R is equal to P2 divided by EUR 1.50, this exercise parity being determined with two decimal places rounded to the nearest hundredth immediately lower or equal, subject to the adjustment clauses set out in the characteristics of the T3 BSAs.
Exercise price and exercise conditions Each new ordinary share subscribed through the exercise of the T3 BSA will be subscribed at a price of EUR 1.50, i.e. EUR 0.01 nominal value and EUR 1.49 issue premium (without prejudice to the adjustment clauses set out in the characteristics of the T3 BSAs). The subscription price of the Company's shares issued upon exercise of the T3 BSAs must be paid up in full, at the time of exercise of the share subscription warrants, in cash (the holders must make their own business of any fractional shares).
Gross proceeds on exercise of all share subscription warrants In the event of the exercise of all the T3 BSAs, the maximum gross proceeds from the exercise of the T3 BSAs (including on the exercise of the T3 BSAs attached to the ABSAs) will be a maximum amount of EUR 116,000,000, i.e. a capital increase of a maximum nominal amount of EUR 1,160,000, together with an issue premium of a maximum amount of EUR 114,840,000 (without prejudice to the adjustment clauses set out in the characteristics of the T3 BSAs).
Rights attached to shares resulting from the exercise of share subscription warrants and dividend date The ordinary shares to be issued in the event of exercise of the T3 BSAs will be ordinary shares of the same class as the existing ordinary shares of the Company, which will be subject to all the provisions of the Company's articles of incorporation as well as to the decisions of the general meetings from their date of issuance.
Admission to trading of shares resulting from the exercise of share subscription warrants The ordinary shares to be issued in the event of exercise of the T3 BSAs will be the subject of an application for admission to trading on the regulated market Euronext Paris on the same listing line as the Company's existing shares.
Retention of rights of holders of share subscription warrants The rights of holders of share subscription warrants in the event of financial transactions will be maintained by adjusting the exercise conditions.

 

10. Takes note, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225-132, paragraph 6 of the French Commercial Code, that the decision to issue the BSA-BSAs will automatically entail the waiver of shareholders' preemptive subscription rights to the shares to which the T2 BSAs and the T3 BSAs entitle them;
