Inventiva S.A. has formally acknowledged that its shareholders' equity has fallen below half of its share capital, a critical indicator of financial distress. While the company has resolved not to dissolve immediately, it must regularize its financial situation within two years. To address this, the company is seeking extensive shareholder authorizations for highly dilutive capital increases, including public offerings and an At-The-Market (ATM) program, alongside a substantial net loss of over EUR 207 million for 2025.
