• Authorization for Up to 100% Share Capital Increase

  Shareholders will vote on proposals (Resolutions 21-32, with an overall limit in Resolution 31) to authorize the Board to issue ordinary shares and/or equity securities, including debt convertible into shares, up to a nominal amount of EUR 29,604,244, representing approximately 100% of the current share capital. This provides significant future financing flexibility but also substantial potential dilution.

• At-The-Market (ATM) Program Authorization

  Proposal 26 specifically seeks authorization for an ATM program, allowing the company to issue ordinary shares in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADSs) on the U.S. market without preferential subscription rights. This is part of the overall capital increase limit.

• Share Repurchase Program Re-authorization

  Proposal 19 requests re-authorization for the Board to buy back up to 5% of the company's shares, with a maximum purchase price of €25 per share and an overall ceiling of €370,053,000. This authorization replaces a prior one from June 2025.

• Approval of 2025 Financial Statements and Compensation Policies

  Shareholders will vote on approving the 2025 annual and consolidated financial statements, which reported a loss of USD (146,946,904.70) (US GAAP). They will also approve 2025 executive compensation and 2026 compensation policies for the Board and executives, including an increase in the annual budget for directors from EUR 900,000 to EUR 1,150,000.

DBV Technologies is seeking shareholder approval for a broad range of financial authorizations at its upcoming Annual General Meeting. The most significant proposals include delegations of authority to issue new shares and equity securities, which could result in a capital increase of up to approximately 100% of the current share capital. This includes authorization for an At-The-Market (ATM) program, allowing the company to sell shares from time to time without preferential subscription rights. While these are authorizations for future flexibility and not immediate issuances, the potential for such substantial dilution is a material consideration for investors. This proactive move to secure financing options follows the recent Q1 2026 financial results, which reported a cash position of $229 million and an extended cash runway into Q2 2027. The company also proposes to re-authorize a share repurchase program up to 5% of its capital, which is a counter-signal but is overshadowed by the potential dilutive capital raise authorizations. Other proposals are routine governance matters, including director re-elections and compensation policy approvals.
