On September 18, 2023, PHAXIAM issued a press release announcing the completion of the reverse share split of the shares composing the Company’s share capital. The reverse share split involved the exchange of ten (10) existing shares with a par value of ten euro cents (€0.10) (the “Existing Shares”) for one (1) new share with a par value of one euro (€1) (a “New Share”).

The main features of this reverse share split are as follows:

 

   

Number of Existing Shares subject to the reverse share split: sixty million seven hundred and fifty-one thousand and fifty-four (60,751,054) shares, each with a par value of ten euro cents (€0.10).

 

   

Number of New Shares resulting from the reverse share split: six million seventy-five thousand one hundred and five (6,075,105) shares with a par value of one euro (€1) each.

 

   

Listing of the New Shares: the New Shares resulting from the reverse share split have been admitted to trading on the Euronext regulated market in Paris, with effect from today, the first day of trading, and have been assigned a new ISIN code (FR001400K4B1).

The next steps of the reverse share split will take place according to the following indicative timetable:

 

September 18th, 2023    Listing of the New Shares
   
September 19th, 2023    Book-entry of the New Shares (Record date)
   
September 20th, 2023    Date of payment-delivery of the New Shares

As previously announced, in connection with the reverse share split described above, The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”), depositary for the Company’s American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) program, effected a reverse stock split on such ADR program with an effective date of September 18, 2023. Effective September 18, 2023, ADR holders of the Company will be required on a mandatory basis to surrender their old ADR(s) to BNY Mellon for cancellation and exchange to receive one (1) new American Depositary Share (“ADS”) (CUSIP: 29604W207) for every ten (10) old ADSs (CUSIP: 29604W108). Holders of ADSs in the Direct Registration System or in brokerage accounts will have their ADRs automatically exchanged and need not take any action. No fraction of an ADS will be issued. BNY Mellon will attempt to sell any fractions and distribute the cash proceeds to ADR holders.
