        <amountBeneficiallyOwned>The information required by this Item with respect to each Reporting Person is set forth in Rows 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13G. The ownership percentages reported herein are based on 145,951,274 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of October 20, 2025, as disclosed by Inventiva S.A. in its press release dated October 20, 2025, and give effect to the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below) held by the Master Fund.

Neither Perceptive Advisors nor Mr. Edelman directly holds any Ordinary Shares or any Pre-Funded Warrants. The Master Fund holds (i) 6,945,995 Ordinary Shares; (ii) Pre-Funded Warrants exercisable for 5,555,555 Ordinary Shares (the "Pre-Funded Warrants"); and (iii) Tranche 3 Warrants exercisable for 6,666,666 Ordinary Shares (the "Performance Warrants").

The Pre-Funded Warrants may not be exercised if, after giving effect to such exercise, the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation"). The Performance Warrants are exercisable only upon the Issuer's public release of topline data announcing that any Key Primary Endpoint or Key Secondary Endpoint, with any dosage regimen tested in the trial, has been met no later than June 15, 2027.

As of the date hereof, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation permits the Reporting Persons to exercise Pre-Funded Warrants for an aggregate of not more than 354,671 Ordinary Shares. In providing the beneficial ownership information set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have assumed that the remaining Pre-Funded Warrants held by them are not exercisable due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Performance Warrants are currently not exercisable.

Perceptive Advisors serves as the investment manager to the Master Fund and may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by the Master Fund. Mr. Edelman is the managing member of Perceptive Advisors and may be deemed to beneficially own such securities.</amountBeneficiallyOwned>
