Item 3.03 |
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
On May 17, 2024 DBV Technologies S.A. (the “Company”) announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) evidencing ordinary shares, nominal value €0.10 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), from one (1) ADS representing one-half (1/2) of one (1) Ordinary Share to one (1) ADS representing one (1) Ordinary Share (the “Ratio Change”). The Ratio Change will result in a one for two split of issued and outstanding ADSs, and it will have no effect on the Ordinary Shares. The Ratio Change will be effective on or about June 3, 2024. Although the market price per ADS is expected to increase proportionally, the Company can give no assurance that the Ratio Change will result in the Company satisfying and maintaining the minimum bid price requirement of Nasdaq.
Item 7.01 |
Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On May 17, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the ADS Ratio Change. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K.

Exhibit 99.1
DBV Technologies Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change
DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV ISIN: FR0010417345 Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVTCUSIP: 23306J101), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
focused on treatment options for food allergies and other immunologic conditions with significant unmet medical need, today announced plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) to its ordinary shares (the
ADS Ratio), nominal value 0.10 (ten cents) per share, from the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to one-half (1/2) of one (1) ordinary share to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to
one (1) ordinary share (the ADS Ratio Change). The Company anticipates that the ADS Ratio Change will be effective on or about June 3rd, 2024 (the Effective Date).
For the Companys ADS holders, the change in the ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a
one-for-two reverse ADS split and is intended to enable the Company to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. On the Effective Date, registered
holders of company ADSs held in certificated form will be required on a mandatory basis to surrender their certificated ADSs to the depositary bank for cancellation and will receive one (1) new ADS in exchange for every two existing ADSs
surrendered. Holders of uncertificated ADSs in the Direct Registration System (DRS) and in The Depository Trust Company (DTC) will have their ADSs automatically exchanged and need not take any action. The exchange of every
two existing ADSs then-held for one (1) new ADS will occur automatically, at the Effective Date, with the then-held ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being issued by the depositary bank. DBVs ADSs will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq
Stock Market under the ticker symbol DBVT.
No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead,
fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS
holders by the depositary bank. The ADS Ratio Change will have no impact on DBVs underlying ordinary shares, and no ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the ADS Ratio Change.
As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, DBVs ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance
that the ADS trading price after the ADS Ratio Change will be equal to or greater than twice the ADS trading price before the change.
About DBV Technologies
DBV Technologies is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing treatment options for food allergies and other immunologic conditions with
significant unmet medical need. DBV is currently focused on investigating the use of its proprietary technology platform, Viaskin, to address food allergies, which are caused by a
hypersensitive immune reaction and characterized by a range of symptoms varying in severity from mild to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Millions of people live with food allergies, including young children. Through epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT), the Viaskin platform is designed to introduce microgram amounts of a biologically active compound to the immune system through intact skin. EPIT is a new class of non-invasive treatment that seeks to modify an individuals underlying allergy by re-educating the immune system to become desensitized to allergen by leveraging the
skins immune tolerizing properties. DBV is committed to transforming the care of food allergic people. The Companys food allergy programs include ongoing clinical trials of Viaskin Peanut in peanut allergic toddlers (1 through 3 years of
age) and children (4 through 7 years of age).
DBV Technologies is headquartered in Châtillon, France, with North American operations in Warren, NJ.
The Companys ordinary shares are traded on segment B of Euronext Paris (Ticker: DBV, ISIN code: FR0010417345) and the Companys ADSs (each representing one-half of one ordinary share) are traded on
the Nasdaq Stock Market (Ticker: DBVT, CUSIP: 23306J101).
