EIB Warrant Restructuring Completed
Inventiva issued 15,677,573 new EIB warrants at €0.01 each, exercisable at €0.01 per share, replacing legacy warrants that included anti-dilution protections and a put option.
-
Dilution Impact
If all new warrants are exercised, they would represent approximately 6.5% of current share capital on a non-diluted basis, a known and capped dilution versus the open-ended risk of the legacy warrants.
-
Capital Structure Simplification
The new warrants lack the specific contractual anti-dilution protection mechanism and put option, reducing future dilution uncertainty and simplifying the company's capital structure.
-
Legacy Warrant Cancellation
The remaining 2,444,654 legacy EIB Tranche B warrants were surrendered and cancelled, following the earlier repurchase of 2,266,023 Tranche A and 700,000 Tranche B warrants on June 12, 2026.
Analysis · IVA · Life Sciences
The final step of Inventiva's June 2 refinancing is now complete: 15.7 million new EIB warrants have been issued at a nominal exercise price of €0.01 each, replacing legacy warrants that carried anti-dilution protections. If exercised, these warrants would add roughly 6.5% to the share count on a non-diluted basis — a meaningful but capped dilution that removes a larger overhang from the old structure. The cancellation of the remaining legacy warrants and the simplified terms reduce future uncertainty, though the potential dilution remains a headwind for existing shareholders.
