DBV Technologies Appoints Daniel Tassé as Chief Executive Officer

Daniel brings strong track record of building and leading global organizations and delivering transformative products to patients

Co-founder Dr. Pierre-Henri Benhamou to retire as CEO and serve as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board

DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV – ISIN: FR0010417345 – Nasdaq: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously appointed Daniel Tassé as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) effective November 29, 2018. Dr. Pierre-Henri Benhamou, who co-founded the Company in 2002, will retire as CEO and serve as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board.

“The Board is very pleased to welcome Daniel, who is a seasoned executive and accomplished leader. He brings a unique blend of operational experience, expertise and passion to DBV, which will be instrumental as he guides the Company through its next phase,” said Dr. Benhamou. “We believe his strategic insights and results-oriented approach will be key as we move toward upcoming regulatory and commercial milestones, while maintaining our mission of serving patients and their families.”

Daniel has a 30-year record of building, growing, and leading global pharmaceutical businesses with extensive experience in bringing innovative therapies to pediatric patients. Prior to joining DBV, he was CEO at Alcresta, where he led the clinical, regulatory, and commercial pathway for the Company’s first product. From 2008 until 2015, Daniel led the transformation of Ikaria, a company focused on developing drugs and devices for critically ill infants. At Ikaria, he significantly grew sales, drove product development and led the global expansion of the business. Daniel also serves on the Board of Directors of innovative pharmaceutical companies, including Regenxbio (NASDAQ: RGNX), a leading gene therapy company, and Indivior (LSE: INDV), a pharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of substance use disorders. He holds a B.Sc. in Biochemistry from Université de Montréal and is fluent in both French and English.

“I am excited to join DBV during this important time as we embark on the potential approval and commercialization of Viaskin Peanut, an investigational treatment for peanut-allergic patients,” said Mr. Tassé. “I look forward to building on the foundation that Dr. Benhamou and the DBV management team have established, while continuing to advance the Company’s innovative Viaskin Platform and its potential application in areas of high unmet medical need.”

DBV recently submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Viaskin Peanut for the treatment of peanut allergy in children four to 11 years of age. Viaskin Peanut is DBV’s lead product candidate and is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT), a proprietary technology platform that delivers biologically active compounds to the immune system through the skin. There are currently no FDA-approved treatments for peanut allergy.

About Daniel Tassé

Prior to joining DBV, Daniel was Chairman and CEO of Alcresta, a pediatric-focused rare disease biotechnology company. He will work with Alcresta in the near term to ensure an orderly translation of his responsibilities. During his tenure at Alcresta, he led the clinical and regulatory pathway for the pediatric indication of that company’s first product, which he also launched. Prior to joining Alcresta, Daniel was Chairman and CEO of Ikaria, from 2008 until the $2.3 billion sale of the company to Mallinckrodt in April 2015. During his tenure at Ikaria, a critical care company focused on developing drugs and devices for critically ill patients, Daniel transformed the company’s business model, drove significant sales and earnings growth, led the company’s expansion into Asia, and successfully split Ikaria into two companies, Ikaria and Bellerophon Therapeutics, to best leverage the technical, commercial, and financial strengths of those businesses.

Prior to Ikaria, Daniel led the Pharmaceutical Technologies Business Unit of Baxter, a global business with $2 billion in revenue. Before joining Baxter, he was based in Melbourne, Australia, where he was responsible for the Austral-Asian business of GlaxoSmithKline. From 2011 until 2015, he was a member of the Board of Directors of PhRMA, a member of the Healthcare Leadership Council, and a member of the Health Section Governing Board of BIO, where he also Co-Chaired the Bioethics Committee.

Daniel is currently a member of the Board of Directors of Indivior PLC (London Stock Exchange: INDV), where he is the Lead Independent Director, a member of the Audit Committee and a member of the Remuneration Committee; of Bellerophon Therapeutics (NASDAQ: BLPH) where he is a member of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee; of Regenxbio (NASDAQ: RGNX) where he is a member of the Compensation Committee; and of HLS Therapeutics (Toronto Stock Exchange: HLSV) where he is a member of the Audit Committee.

He holds a B.Sc. in Biochemistry from Université de Montréal and is fluent in both French and English.
