Dear Fellow DBV Shareholders,

Each year, I begin my letter to you with the reminder that DBV Technologies was founded onupon the belief that children with food allergies, their families, and the allergists who treat them, need, and deserve, multiple treatment options. That belief continues to guide our corporate strategy and drives our employees each day as a foundational element of DBV.

Financial diligence and responsible, targeted spending are core components of our culture. We know and appreciate that our shareholders have placed their trust in us, that we will execute with care spending practices appropriate for a late-development stage biotechnology company. In 2022, DBV secured financial support to advance our strategy for Viaskin Peanut. In May, DBV successfully launched an At-The-Market program and subsequently completed sales of new ordinary shares in the form of American Depository Shares (ADSs) for a total gross amount of $15.3 million. In June, DBV announced a $194 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing. DBV closed Q2 2022 with a cash balance of $248 million following the ATM and PIPE offerings. We remain committed that this shot in the arm will fuel DBV’s operations through top-line results of our new, Phase 3 Pivotal Study of Viaskin Peanut in 4 – 7 year old children with peanut allergy, VITESSE, anticipated in the first half of 2025.

In June 2022, DBV announced positive topline results from EPITOPE, our Phase 3 Pivotal Study of Viaskin Peanut in toddlers 1 – 3 years old. We shared that 67 percent of subjects treated with Viaskin Peanut 250 µg met response criteria after 12 months, as compared with 33.5 percent of subjects in the placebo arm. The EPITOPE safety results were generally consistent with the safety profile of Viaskin Peanut 250 µg observed in our studies of children ages 4 and older with a confirmed peanut allergy. As patient safety and treatment experience are a priority for DBV, it was encouraging to learn that of the serious adverse events (SAEs) reported, only 1 of the SAEs was deemed related to treatment. Further, of the four subjects in the Viaskin Peanut arm having experienced an anaphylactic reaction determined to be related to, or possibly related to, treatment, 3 resolved with a single dose of epinephrine and 1 resolved without epinephrine. All reported anaphylactic reactions were deemed mild to moderate in severity. In the 12-month treatment period, the trial completion rate was 84.8 percent and was balanced between the Viaskin Peanut and placebo arms. We were also pleased to see that the mean subject compliance to daily patch treatment was above 95 percent in both the active and placebo arms.

The EPITOPE study results were widely shared with the food allergy community with positive reception. DBV also actively engaged in sharing the full EPITOPE trial results at global medical congresses and is currently pursuing publication of the data in a peer-reviewed journal. We know that most peanut-allergic children are diagnosed between 1 – 3 years of age, and yet there are currently no FDA-approved therapies for this age group. The EPITOPE data advanced our understanding of investigational epicutaneous immunotherapy and its ability to induce an immune response with minimal amounts of allergen. We believe that our lead product candidate,these positive findings support the potential clinical benefit of Viaskin Peanut has a profile that is importantin this underserved population and look forward to many families and allergists, and our primary goal is its potential approval inexploring next steps with the United States and European Union.

The first half of 2020 was a challenging time for us as we navigated the U.S. regulatory pathway for Viaskin Peanut. When we began the year in January, the Biologic License Application (BLA) for Viaskin Peanut, which we had submitted and filed in 2019, was under review with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). On March 16, 2020,

Throughout 2022, DBV worked hard to develop and align with the FDA contacted DBV to inform us that it was cancelling the Advisory Committee for Viaskin Peanut and that, during its ongoing reviewon key elements of the BLA, it had identified questions regarding efficacy, including the impact of patch-site adhesion.

By May 2020, DBV was facing an uncertain regulatory path for Viaskin Peanut and operatingVITESSE protocol, DBV’s Phase 3 Pivotal Study in an industry and world upended by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Although DBV had provided adhesion data tochildren ages 4 – 7 years old with a confirmed peanut allergy. While the FDA to potentially supplementissued a partial clinical hold (PCH) on VITESSE in September 2022, DBV appreciated the Viaskin Peanut BLA, and our FDA target action date of August 5, 2020 remained unchanged, we began to plan for scenarios other than a timely Viaskin Peanut approval. We considered all realistic alternative regulatory scenarios and each one resulted in a significant delay to the transformation of DBV from a clinical-stage biotechnology company to a commercial-stage one with healthy product revenues.

Chief Executive Officer Daniel Tassé recognized that DBV would likely encounter significant financial pressure in the near-term with limited ability to responsibly raise the additional capital necessary for DBV to remain a competitive and viable clinical-stage company. In June, and after several meetings, Daniel and the Board of Directors made the very difficult and necessary decision to reduce the size of DBV and the scope of its operations to maximize the length of time that DBV’s cash could support its operations. On June 26, 2020, DBV initiated a global cost-containment program that included pausing several programs, suspending several activities, shifting selected functions to external business partners, and reducing the workforce. A corporate restructuring is always a difficult and complex process. However, DBV emerged a leaner organization with greater financial flexibility, all critical functions retained, high quality teams, and a cash position that is expected to support DBV operations into the second half of 2022.

On August 3, 2020, DBV received a Complete Response Letterclear feedback from the FDA, regardingwhich specified changes to elements of the BLAVITESSE protocol with the intent for the trial to support a future biologics license application (BLA) submission. The FDA communication contained four protocol modifications: the redefinition of the minimal daily wear time, the addition of a statistical test for the patch adhesion assessment, the reclassification of certain adverse events (AEs) to adverse events of special interest (AESIs) and an increase in the number of trial participants on active treatment. Thankfully, there was no disruption to subjects, as DBV had not yet begun screening or recruitment of subjects into the VITESSE study. Further, the PCH only applied to VITESSE and did not impact any other ongoing DBV clinical studies. While the PCH was a temporary setback, DBV is grateful for the FDA’s additional feedback reflecting careful attention to the VITESSE study and our goal for a path forward.


In December 2022, DBV announced that the FDA had lifted the PCH on the VITESSE Phase 3 Pivotal Study. In lifting the PCH, the FDA confirmed DBV satisfactorily addressed all clinical hold issues identified in the PCH letter. The FDA stated that DBV may proceed with VITESSE with the confirmed revisions to the protocol. Subsequently, DBV submitted the updated protocol to study sites for subsequent Institutional Review Boards (IRB)/Ethics Committees (EC) approval. DBV is currently advancing study forward. We know that the food allergy community is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to study and expand our learnings about the potential of epicutaneous immunotherapy and Viaskin Peanut. The FDA indicatedCompany expects to initiate patient screening in Q1 2023 with the last patient screened in 1H 2024 and topline results anticipated in 1H 2025.

While it could not approve the Viaskin Peanut BLA in its current formis no secret that 2022 contained both highs and identified several issues, including their concern regarding the impact of patch-site adhesion on efficacy. Thelows for DBV, executive management team, supported by a comprehensive working group of internal and external experts, immediately began crafting a plan to address the FDA’s concerns and clarify a clinical and regulatory path forward for Viaskin Peanut in the United States. We submitted the plan to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2020, and in January 2021, the FDA provided clear guidance on a well-defined path forward for a modified Viaskin Peanut.looking back, I can say with certainty that I am very pleasedproud of our persistence that led to report thatstanding where we are today. DBV continues to make significant progress,rebuilt confidence, strengthened our relationships, and earned our current achievements. Because of our strategic actions in dialogue with the FDA, in advancing the clinical and regulatory development plan for a modified Viaskin Peanut.

I am also pleased to report that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) review of the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Viaskin Peanut is progressing according to our expectations and consistent with our pre-filing exchanges with the EMA. In the fourth quarter of 2020, DBV submitted the MAA, and the EMA confirmed the application was sufficiently complete to begin their review. We expect to provide further updates as the EMA’s review progresses.

Looking ahead to 2021 and beyond, I believe DBV is2022, we are strongly positioned for the future. We remainhave not only progressed the development of our lead product candidate, but also have earlier stage food allergy programs in phase 2 of clinical development for cow’s milk allergy and eosinophilic esophagitis. I am confident that DBV will be well-positioned to bring innovative, specialized therapies to market that help make a meaningful difference to patients worldwide.

Reflecting on the year, 2022 was characterized by perseverance and transformation for DBV. At our core remains the steadfast indedication to science and technology that sets us apart from other biotechnology companies. Those of you who have been a part of our journey for some time know that our commitment to food allergic families is embedded in our corporate culture. We are here to serve our future patients, to give them hope when treatment options have thus far been so limited. We believe that it is unacceptable that avoidance and OIT are the only means of managing a peanut allergy. The curious and courageous minds that compose DBV’s global personnel work hard every day to one day bring Viaskin Peanut to potential approval in the United Statesmarket an innovative and European Union,transformative therapy for children and toddlers living with peanut allergy. Our team will not give up on them. We are looking forward to 2023 as we are driven every day byactively recruiting for the VITESSE Phase 3 Pivotal Study and embarking on possibilities stemming from the results of our foundational belief that children with food allergies, their families,EPITOPE data. Thank you very much for your trust and support as a shareholder—and for being an active contributor to the allergists who treat them, need and deserve multiple treatment options.success of our journey.

Sincerely,

With respect to ADSs, an abstention occurs when a holder of ADSs sends proxy instructions to the Depositary to abstain from voting regarding a particular matter or without making a selection with respect to a particular matter.

I share an address with another holder of ADSs, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

SEC rules concerning the delivery of annual disclosure documents allow us or your broker to send a single set of our proxy materials to any household at which two or more of our ADS holders of record reside, if we or

your broker believe that the ADS holders of record are members of the same family. This practice, referred to as “householding,” benefits both you and us. It reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps to reduce our expenses. The rule applies to our annual reports, proxy statements and information statements. Once you receive notice from your broker or from us that communications to your address will be “householded,” the practice will continue until you are otherwise notified or until you revoke your consent to the practice. ADS holders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.

If a broker or other nominee holds your ADSs and (1) your household received a single set of proxy materials this year, but you would prefer to receive your own copy or you do not wish to participate in householding and would like to receive your own set of our proxy materials in future years or (2) you share an address with another ADS holder and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of proxy materials, please contact the broker or other nominee directly and inform them of your request. Be sure to include your name, the name of your brokerage firm and your account number.

Can I receive Company shareholder communications by electronic delivery?

Most shareholders can elect to view or receive copies of future proxy materials over the Internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail. You can choose this option and save us the cost of producing and mailing these documents by following the instructions provided on your proxy card or by following the instructions provided when you vote over the Internet.

Where can I find documents referenced in this proxy statement?

Board Independence

As required under the Nasdaq listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s Board must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the Board. The Board consults with our counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq, as in effect from time to time.

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant identified transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and us, our senior management and our independent auditors, the Board has affirmatively determined all of our directors, other than Mr. Tassé and Ms. O’Neill,, are

independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, a director shall be considered independent if she/he does not have any relationship which, in the opinion of the board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In addition, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, to be considered independent, a director shall not be subject to any of the mandatory bars to independence set forth in Rule 5605(a) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, pursuant to French law requirements, only Michel de Rosen, Daniele Guyot-Caparros, Timothy E. Morris, Torbjörn Bjerke, Michel de Rosen, Viviane Monges,Adora Ndu, Julie O’Neill, Daniel B. Soland and Daniel SolandRavi M. Rao are considered to be “independent directors.” If elected by the shareholders, Adora Ndu and Ravi Rao will also be independent directors under both the Nasdaq Listing Rules and French law requirements. In making such determination, our boardBoard of directorsDirectors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our boardBoard of directorsDirectors deemed relevant in determining the director’s independence, including the number of ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares beneficially owned by the director and his or her affiliated entities (if any).

Board Structure and Director Election

We currently have nineten directors, a majorityhalf of whom are citizens or residents of the United States. Under French law and our by-laws, our boardBoard of directorsDirectors must be composed of between three and 18 members. Within this limit, the number of directors is determined by our shareholders. Since January 1, 2017, the number of directors of each gender may not be less than 40%. Any appointment made in violation of this limit that is not remedied will be null and void. Directors are elected, re-elected and may be removed at a shareholders’ general meeting with a simple majority vote of our shareholders. Pursuant to our by-laws, the term of a director is three years, subject to a lesser period which could either be one or two year(s) for the purpose of a staggered board. In accordance with French law, our by-laws also provide that our directors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the votes of the shareholders present, represented by a proxy or voting by mail at the relevant ordinary shareholders’ meeting, and that any vacancy on our boardBoard of directorsDirectors resulting from the death or resignation of a director, provided there are at least three directors remaining, may be filled by vote of a majority of our directors then in office provided that there has been no shareholders meeting since such death or resignation. Directors chosen or appointed to fill a vacancy shall be elected by the boardBoard of directorsDirectors for the remaining duration of the current term of the replaced director. The appointment must then be ratified at the next shareholders’ general meeting. In the event the boardBoard of directorsDirectors would be composed of less than three directors as a result of a vacancy, the remaining directors shall immediately convene a shareholders’ general meeting to elect one or several new directors so there are at least three directors serving on the boardBoard of directors,Directors, in accordance with French law.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Compensation Philosophy and Strategy of our employees and executive officers

At DBV we have a competitive and innovative way to reward our employees. Our reward system builds on the foundations of our company culture, what we refer to as the 4C’s – Courage, Curiosity, Collaboration and Credibility. We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developingincentivize our for value creation and commercializing safe, effective, and convenient therapies for patients with food allergies and other immunological conditions. Our therapeutic approach is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy, or EPIT,align our proprietary method of delivering biologically active compoundsactivities to the immune system through intact skin using Viaskin, an epicutaneous patch (i.e.,benefits of our stakeholders: patients, shareholders and broad society.

As we navigate a skin patch).competitive market environment, we benchmark against similarly sized U.S. and French biopharmaceutical companies to offer the best possible compensation elements to meet our goals. We have generated significant data demonstrating that the mechanism of action of Viaskin is novelrefer to this approach as Total Rewards. Moreover, we not only use competitive financial rewards but also prioritize internal talent development as foundational to our future success. Our Total Rewards strive to ensure we are and differentiated, as it targets specific antigen-presenting immune cellsremain attractive to current and prospective talent in the skin called Langerhans cells. Langerhans cells capture the antigen and migratebiopharmaceutical market. We foster a culture of performance to reward contribution to the lymph node to activate the immune system without allowing passage of the antigen into the bloodstream, minimizing systemic exposure in the body. We are advancing this unique technology to address areas of unmet medical need, including food allergies. Safety is paramount to children with food allergies and their families because the introduction of the offending allergen into an allergic child’s bloodstream can cause severe and life-threatening allergic reactions, suchcompany’s achievements, as anaphylactic shock. We believe Viaskin may offer a convenient, self-administered, non-invasive immunotherapy to patients.well as behaviors that reflect our culture, our 4C’s.

As a global biopharmaceutical company, we structure our compensation program to attract global talent. The overall objectives of our executivethe compensation policies and programs of our executive officers are to:

 

attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent;

 

provide incentives that reward the achievement of performance goals that directly correlate to the enhancement of stockholder value, as well as to facilitate executive retention;

 

align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders;

 

link pay to company performance; and

 

offer pay opportunities that are competitive with the biopharmaceutical market in which we compete in order to recruit and retain top talent, while maintaining reasonable cost and dilution to our shareholders.

In establishing specific compensation levels for our executive officers, we consideringconsider benchmarking information provided from our independent compensation consultant. For 2020, we considered the following companies to be in our peer group for benchmarking purposes:

Our executive compensation program generally consists of, and is intended to strike a balance among, the following three principal components: base salary, annual performance-based incentives and long-term incentive compensation. Our compensation philosophy with respect to these elements is as follows:

 

  

Base salary (fixed cash):

 

TargetBase salary reflects level of expertise and competencies. It is aligned and competitive with local and country standards. Salary increases are managed annually, based on merit budget envelopes. Merit increase aims at rewarding our employees for the execution of their mission, specified in their job description.

Annual Incentive:

All employees are eligible for an annual incentive plan rewarding personal contribution towards Company and individual goals, as well as how they are delivered. As such, our annual performance management process encompasses assessment of behavioral competencies tied to our 4C’s. Targets are expressed in percentage of based salary and benchmarked with industry local market median in the French or U.S., depending on job location. practices and peers.

Generally reviewed annuallyDirectors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, determined that our company had achieved 100% of the corporate objectives established by the compensation committee based on a number of factors (including individual performance, internal equity, retention, expected cost of living increases and the overall performance ofBoard. See Annex D for further information about our company) and by reference to market data provided by our independent compensation consultant).2022 corporate objectives.

 

  

Annual non-equity performance incentive plan (at risk cash)Long-term incentives (at-risk equity):

We believe that our ability to grant equity awards is a credible and rewards for attaining rigorous annual corporate performance goals that relate to our key business objectives and individual contributions.effective compensation tool.

 

Target bonus amounts are generally reviewed annually by the compensation committee, including by reference to market data provided by our independent compensation consultant.

Bonus opportunities are dependent on the achievement of specific corporate objectives establishedEquity incentives aim at the beginningattracting and retaining talent at all levels of the yearorganization by the boardproviding an extra layer of directorsincentives to employees and individual performance objectives that relate to the officer’s role and expected contribution toward reachingpromoting our corporate goals.

Actual bonus amounts earned are determined after the end of the year, based on achievement of the designated corporate performance objectives (which allow for 0% to 150% achievement) and, where applicable, individual performance objectives. Any corporate achievement of less than 50% results in no annual incentive compensation for our executive officers.

For 2020, the compensation committee determined that our company had achieved 55% of the corporate objectives established by the board. See Annex D for further information on our achievement of corporate objectives.

Long-term incentives(at-risk equity):

Long-term incentives, or LTIs, represent the bulk of our executive compensation.

Includes a mix of Stock-Options (SOs)(“SOs”) and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).RSUs as per market practice in particular US peer companies. The relative ratio of SOs to RSUs increases as a function of organizational seniority, such that our executive officers receive upwards of 80% of their LTIs as SOs, which we believe is consistent with our peer companies and particularly our U.S. peer companies.SOs.

 

Annual equity opportunities are generally reviewed and determined annually or as appropriate during the year for new hires, promotions, or other special circumstances, such as to encourage retention, or as an incentive for significant achievement. Individual grants are determined based on a number of factors, including current corporate and individual performance, outstanding equity holdings and their retention value and total ownership, historical value of our stock, internal equity among executives and market data provided by our independent compensation consultant.

 

We focus on time-vesting awards. Time based vesting over four years (25 % at month 12, and 12.5% every 6 months afterwards) allows for retention that is aligned to the biotechnology industry’s longer time horizon for value creation and is competitive with market practices. Further, our focus on time-vesting awards allow us to most optimally allocate our resources by enabling us to shift resources towards the most promising opportunities for shareholder value creation.

The compensation committeeCompensation Committee aims to structure a significant portion of the named executive officers’ total target compensation to be comprised of performance-based bonus opportunities and LTIs, in order to align the executive officers’ incentives with the interests of our stockholders and our corporate objectives. In evaluating our executive compensation policies and programs, as well as the short-term and long-term value of our executive compensation plans, we consider both the performance and skills of each of our executives, as well as the compensation paid to executives at similar companies with similar responsibilities. We focus on providing a competitive compensation package which provides significant short-term and long-term incentives for the achievement of measurable corporate objectives. We believe this approach provides an appropriate blend of short-term and long-term incentives to maximize stockholder value.

Limitations on Liability and IndemnificationsIndemnification Matters

Under French law, provisions of by-laws that limit the liability of directors are prohibited. However, French law allows sociétés anonymes to contract for and maintain liability insurance against civil liabilities incurred by any of their directors and officers involved in a third-party action, provided that they acted in good faith and within their capacities as directors or officers of the company. Criminal liability cannot be indemnified under French law, whether directly by the company or through liability insurance.

We maintain liability insurance for our directors and officers, including insurance against liability under the Securities Act and we intend to enter into agreements with our directors and executive officers to provide contractual indemnification. With certain exceptions and subject to limitations on indemnification under French law, these agreements will provide for indemnification for damages and expenses including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her actions in that capacity. We believe that this insurance and these agreements are necessary to attract qualified directors and executive officers.

These agreements may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and executive officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and executive officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these insurance agreements.

Certain of our non-employee directors may, through their relationships with their employers or partnerships, be insured against certain liabilities in their capacity as members of our boardBoard of directors.Directors.

For purposes of our policy only, a related-party transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we and any related parties are, were or will be participants, which are not (1) in the ordinary course of business, (2) at arms’ length, and (3) in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee or director are not covered by this policy. For purposes of this policy, a related party is any executive officer, director (or nominee for director) or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related-party transaction, including any transaction that was not a related-party transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related-party transaction prior to consummation, our management must present information regarding the related-party transaction to our boardBoard of directorsDirectors for review, consideration and approval. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related parties, the benefits to us of the transaction and whether the transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to or from, as the case may be, an unrelated third-party or to or from employees generally. Under the policy, we will collect information that we deem reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant shareholder to enable us to identify any existing or potential related-party transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, our employees and directors have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. In considering related-party transactions, our board, or to the extent permitted by applicable law an independent body of our board, will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:

 

the risks, costs and benefits to us;

the impact on a director’s independence in the event that the related-partyrelated party is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally. The policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related-party transaction, our boardBoard of directors,Directors, or if permitted by applicable law an independent body of our boardBoard of directors,Directors, must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our shareholders, as our boardBoard of directors,Directors, or if permitted by applicable law an independent body of our boardBoard of directors,Directors, determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

These rights include demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights. All fees, costs and expenses of underwritten registrations will be borne by us and all selling expenses, including underwriting commissions, will be borne by Baker Brothers. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required, upon the request of Baker Brothers, to file a registration statement covering, and use our reasonable best efforts to effect, the registration of the ordinary shares,Ordinary Shares, including in the form of ADSs, requested to be registered for public resale. In addition, if we register our securities either for our own account or for the account of other security holders under certain circumstances more than six months following the completion of our March 2018 underwritten global offering, Baker Brothers is entitled to include its ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares or ADSs in such registration. Subject to certain exceptions, we and the underwriters may limit the number of ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares or ADSs included in an underwritten offering conducted pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement if the underwriters believe that including such securities would adversely affect the offering. The registration rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement will terminate ten years after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement.

DETERMINATION OF THE ANNUAL FIXED AMOUNT TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION POLICY FOR THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND FOR THE DIRECTORS AND APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION POLICY FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND/OR ANY OTHER EXECUTIVE CORPORATE OFFICER

Proposal 11

In accordance with French law, our Board is required to present to shareholders the proposed compensation to be allocated to the Board of Directors for their approval at the General Meeting. The Board proposes an increase in the total annual amount of the Board members’ fees to be allocated to the Board of Directors from €600,000 to €800,000 for the current financial year and for future financial years until otherwise decided by a new General Meeting.

As a global company listed on both Euronext Paris and the Nasdaq Global Market, it is critical that our compensation program attract global talent. This proposal is intended to modify our non-employee director compensation program to better align such program with U.S. director compensation programs based on a market assessment conducted by our independent compensation consultant, including to enable us to award directors with long-term equity incentive compensation intended to motivate and reward our non-employee directors for long-term company performance and better align our non-employee directors’ interests with shareholder interests and long-term shareholder value. In addition, this proposal would enable us to increase annual cash compensation to our non-employee directors.

We believe that this resolution is in shareholders’ best interest by allowing us to diversify and enrich our Board to provide appropriate governance and inform strategy.

Proposal 12

In accordance with Article L. 22-10-8 of the French Commercial Code, our Board is required to present to shareholders the proposed compensation policy to be allocated to the Chairman of the Board of Directors for their approval at the General Meeting.

For reference, an English translation of our proposed compensation policy is set forth in Annex B.

ADVISORY OPINION ONRENEWAL OF THE COMPENSATIONTERM OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OTHER THAN THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICEROFFICE OF DELOITTE & ASSOCIES AS STATUTORY AUDITOR

In accordance withThe term of office of Deloitte & associés as statutory auditor will expire at the requirements of Section 14Aend of the Exchange Act, we are includingGeneral Meeting to be held on April 12, 2023. If renewed, the term of office of Deloitte & associés will expire at the end of the General Meeting to be held in this proxy statement a resolution, subject to shareholder vote,2029 to approve on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer (as disclosed under “Executive Compensation” and the tables that follow). Shareholder approval of the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer is required as a matter of French law and is addressed by Proposal No. 13.

We believe that our compensation programs for our named executive officers have been effective at promoting the achievement of positive results, appropriately aligning pay and performance and enabling us to attract and retain very talented executives within our industry, while at the same time avoiding the encouragement of unnecessary or excessive risk-taking.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their supportfinancial statements for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement. This resolution, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives you as a shareholder the opportunity to express your views on our 2020 compensation for our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the overall compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC.

Although this is an advisory vote which will not be binding on our compensation committee or board of directors, our compensation committee and board of directors will carefully review the results of the shareholder vote. Our compensation committee and board of directors will consider potential shareholders’ concerns and take them into account in future determinations concerning compensation of our named executive officers. Our board of directors therefore recommends that you indicate your support for the compensation of our named executive officers in 2019 as outlined in this proxy statement, by voting “FOR” Resolution 14.previous financial year.

PROPOSAL NOS. 15 TO 17:

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act also enable our shareholders to indicate their preference at least once every six years regarding how frequently we should solicit an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in our proxy statement. Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote every one, two or three years. Alternatively, shareholders may abstain from casting a vote.

To comply with this requirement and the limitations of French law, which permits shareholders to only vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on any particular matter, we are presenting three non-binding resolutions asking our shareholders whether they prefer to cast future advisory votes on our Named Executive Officers’ compensation every year, once every two years, or once every three years, respectively. Shareholders have the option to vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or abstain on each of the three resolutions.

Our board of directors recommends that future advisory votes to approve the compensation of our named executive officers take place every year. After careful consideration, the board of directors has determined that an advisory vote to approve executive compensation that occurs annually is the most appropriate alternative for the Company, as it will allow shareholders to provide us with regular, direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement every year. Additionally, an annual advisory vote to approve executive compensation is consistent with our policy of seeking input from, and engaging in discussions with, our shareholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices. We will continue to engage with our shareholders regarding our executive pay programs between shareholder advisory votes as part of our governance process.

The Company recognizes that shareholders may have different views as to the best approach for the Company and, therefore, the Company and our board of directors encourage shareholders to express their preferences as to the appropriate frequency of the advisory vote to approve our named executive officers’ compensation by voting “FOR” one (and only one) of Proposal Nos. 15 through 17 and voting “AGAINST” the remaining two such proposals.

Vote Required

The board of directors and the compensation committee will take into account the outcome of the vote on Proposal Nos. 15 through 17 when determining how often we will ask our shareholders to submit an advisory vote to approve our named executive officers’ compensation. If a majority of the votes cast are in favor of more than one of Proposal Nos. 15 through 17 or if all three such resolutions fail to receive a majority of the votes cast, the Company will consider the resolution with the highest percentage of “FOR” votes to be the recommendation of the shareholders.

FINANCIAL AUTHORIZATIONS

We are a biotechclinical-stage specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on changing the field of immunotherapy by developing our novel Viaskin technology platform. Developing, seeking regulatory approval of, and commercializing product candidates requires significant resources. We anticipate expenses associated with modest revenues, from a development partnershipdeveloping and seeking regulatory approval for Viaskin Peanut to increase. We also anticipate significant resource needs and expenses associated with Nestléestablishing appropriate infrastructure to support launch and research and development credits from the French government. Drug development and product launches are expensive, and biotech companies need continued access tocommercialization of Viaskin Peanut, upon regulatory approval. Therefore, more capital to fund product development. More capital will likelymay be required to bringobtain approval for, and launch of, Viaskin Peanut to approval and to fund development activities for our other research and development programs until we achieve profitability and can self-fund our future development.product candidates.

As our capital needs evolve, we need the ability to access capital through the various means and tools that are available, tools that are constantly created, evolving or changing. Moreover, our company requires flexibility to secure capital while minimizing risk or dilution for our shareholders given the dynamic, complex and risky nature of drug development. We may also need to secure capital to accelerate development of a promising new product candidate, to expand the geographical reach of our commercialization, or to pursue a promising business development opportunity. That is why we ask for an applicable discount of up to 15% for the delegation of authority to increase the share capital with cancellation of subscription rights in favor of categories of persons meeting specified characteristics (24th resolution) and for the delegation of authority to increase the share capital with cancellation of subscription rights in favor of categories of persons meeting specified characteristics within the framework of an equity financing agreement on the United States stock market known as “At-The-Market” or “ATM Program” (25th resolution) and a total ceiling set at 65%100% dilution. We understand the need to be good stewards of our investors’ money and will continue to seek financing with a reasonable risk profile and attention to investor dilution. A range of financing options are available in the marketplace, and we wish to be able to pursue the most appropriate financing for our company. We also need to have resolutions that ensure consistency between U.S. (SEC) and French (AMF) market practices and regulatory standards.

We are therefore seeking approval at the Annual General Meeting of the following resolutions that would allow raising capital even in adverse situations, to best ensure the continuity of our operations. These resolutions will be suspended in case of a hostile takeover attempt.

Resolutions 24 to 29 seek the delegation of financial authorizations. The goal of these resolutions is to allow us to swiftly raise the funds and have the financial flexibility necessary to enable us to execute our strategic objectives, including, but not limited to, with respect to external growth.

Unlike most companies incorporated under U.S. state law, which traditionally have a specified amount of authorized shares available for issuance with limited restriction on the purpose of such issuance, in accordance with French law, in order for our boardBoard of directorsDirectors to increase our share capital, it must have a specific delegation of authority authorizing it to increase the share capital for each specific purpose.

At the 2020 Annual General Meeting on April 20, 2020, the shareholders approved certain financial authorizations. Re-approving our board of directors’ financial authorizations will allow the Company to maintain equal footing with U.S. companies and to increase our financial flexibility by quickly raising capital and taking advantage of potential business opportunities. Although always important, we believe this flexibility is particularly necessary in light of the current worldwide economic challenges driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result, we are seeking approval at the Annual General Meeting of the following financial resolution from Resolution 24 to Resolution 29.

In addition, at the Annual General Meeting, shareholders are being asked to approve the maximum global nominal amount of the share capital increases which may be completed pursuant to Resolutions 25, 26, 28 and 31 as well as Resolution 28 of the 2020 Annual General Meeting, as well as the maximum global nominal amount of the debt securities that may be issued pursuant to the delegations granted in Resolutions 25, 26, 28 and 31.

The proposed financial authorizations would provide our boardBoard of directorsDirectors with additional flexibility to respond quickly to changes in market conditions and thereby be able to obtain financing under the best possible conditions.

The financial delegations of authority presented for your approval at the 2023 Annual General Meeting are subject to the following important limitations:

 

the aggregatemaximum global nominal amount of the share capital increases which may be completed pursuant to ResolutionResolutions 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 29 cannot exceed 40%EUR9,420,000, i.e. approximately 100% of our share capital on the date of the decision to increase the share capital by the Board of Directors, it being provided that Resolution 24 aims at raising capital by calling on the Company’s shareholders;

the aggregate amount of share capital increases pursuant to Resolution 25 cannot exceed 30% of our share capital on the date of the decision to increase the share capital by the Board of Directors;

the global nominal amount of the debt securities that may be issued pursuant to the delegations granted in Resolutions 25, 26, 28 and 31 shall not exceed EUR 150,000,000.

Our boardBoard of directorsDirectors will continue to use these authorizations in accordance with our corporate and strategic needs, and, in any case, does not intend to use these authorizations in the context of an unsolicited tender offer by a third party our shares.

Under French law, in the case of issuance of additional shares or other securities for cash or set-off against cash debts, our existing shareholders have preferential subscription rights to these securities on a pro-rata basis, unless such rights are waived by a two-thirds majority of the votes held by the shareholders present at the extraordinary meeting deciding or authorizing the capital increase, represented by proxy or voting by mail. In case such rights are not waived by the extraordinary general meeting, each shareholder may individually either exercise, assign or not exercise its preferential rights. Such rights would be waived pursuant to all of resolutionsResolutions 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28,27 and 29, if approved, but not pursuant to Resolution 24.approved. Accordingly, the issuance of additional Ordinary Shares or other securities pursuant to such resolutions might, under certain circumstances, dilute the ownership and voting rights of shareholders.

The Company’s shareholders will be awarded, under the applicable legal provision and in proportion to their ownership interest in the Company’s share capital, a preferential right to subscribedsubscribe for new shares or securities. This detachable and negotiable right will make it possible, if the holder does not wish to subscribe to the capital increase, to financially offset the dilution resulting from the non-subscription to the capital increase.

The Company intends to use this delegation of authority to raise the funds and have the financial flexibility necessary to enable it to execute its strategic objectives, including, but not limited to, with respect to financing potential external growth. As a result of maintaining shareholders’ preferential rights, we believe that a share capital increase in amount not to exceed 40% of the capital existing on the date of the decision to increase the share capital by the Board will provide sufficient flexibility in pursuing our strategic objectives. In particular, the implementation of this authorization could provide us quick access to a source of financing and allow us to respond quickly to changes in market conditions.

Any transaction where the Company sells such securities will be reviewed and approved by the board of directors at the time of issuance.

In the case of issuances of debt securities, the nominal amount of any issuances will be limited to EUR 150,000,000.

The board of directors is requesting the necessary authority to issue through a public offering ordinary shares and/or any type of securities giving access, by any means, immediately or in the future, to ordinary shares.

Resolution 2521 is intended:

 

To comply with the approach currently promoted by French regulatory authorities, pursuant to which, irrespective of whether a public offering is underwritten, this Resolution should be used to complete any such public offering because it is grounded on provisions of the French commerce code meant precisely for public offerings. In particular, if the end result of the planned transaction is a public offering of securities in France, Resolution 2521 should be approved in order to ensure that the French regulatory authorities would view the financial delegations being granted at the Annual General Meeting as sufficient for all potential market participants; and

 

To allow for a direct public offering, without the involvement of underwriters.

Any issuance pursuant to this delegation would be carried out without shareholders’ preferential subscription rights. However, shareholders could be granted a priority subscription period in accordance with applicable French law.

Pursuant to the French Commercial Code, the issue price to be determined by the Board pursuant to this Resolution 2521 shall be at least equal to the weighted average of the prices of the last three trading sessions preceding the beginning of the public offering, possibly reduced by a maximum discount of 10%.

The Company intends to use this delegation of authority to raise the funds and have the financial flexibility necessary to enable it to execute its strategic objectives. We do not intend to use it in the context of an unsolicited tender offer by a third party for DBV shares.

As a result, we believe that a share capital increase in an amount not to exceed 30%EUR9,420,000, i.e. approximately 100% of the Company’s theour share capital on the date of the decision to increase the share capital by the Board,2023 Annual General Meeting, will provide us with sufficient flexibility in pursuing our strategic objectives.

In the case of issuances of debt securities, the nominal amount of any issuances will be limited to EUR 150,000,000.EUR200,000,000. The amount of any debt securities issued will be subject to (and deducted from) the global limit of 150,000,000,200,000,000, and the amount of any share capital increase will be subject to the global limit of 65%EUR9,420,000, i.e. approximately 100% of theour share capital existing aton the date of the 2023 Annual General Meeting, in each case as approved pursuant to Resolution 32.30.

This delegation of authority would be granted for a 26-month period.

DELEGATION OF POWERS TO BE GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE PURPOSE OF DECIDING ON ANY OPERATION OF MERGER-ABSORPTION, DEMERGER, OR PARTIAL CONTRIBUTION OF ASSETS

Article L. 236-9 of the French Commercial Code provides that (i) the extraordinary shareholders meeting of the acquiring company may delegate to the board of directors its competence in making decisions relating to a merger for a period that cannot exceed 26 months and (ii) the extraordinary shareholders meeting of the acquiring company may determine the merger and grant to the board of directors the power to set definitive terms and conditions of such merger for a period that cannot exceed five years.

Pursuant to Resolution 3028 and in accordance with the amended Article L. 236-9 of the French Commercial Code, we are asking shareholders to (i) delegate authority to the board of directors of the Company to decide on any merger-absorption, split or partial contribution of assets and (ii) grant to the board of directors full powers to implement this delegation, in accordance with the provisions set forth in French Laws and the by-laws of the Company, for the purpose of deciding all terms of any transaction that would be decided under this delegation.

If an operation by the board of directors pursuant to this delegation requires an increase in the Company’s share capital, it must be carried out within the limits set forth in Resolution 3129 (i.e., the maximum nominal amount of share capital increases to be completed pursuant to Resolution 31,29, immediately or in the future, may not exceed 10% of the share capital of the Company on the date of the decision to increase the share capital by the Board).

We are asking shareholders to approve Resolution 3028 because this authorization granted to the Board would facilitate any potential external growth by paying all or part of the price with our securities, and we believe that shareholders’ approval in these circumstances is often a cumbersome process, and could create uncertainty with respect to the ability to consummate such a transaction. Additionally, we believe that the process of submitting such a transaction for shareholders’ approval could prevent us from seizing opportunities in a timely manner. The delegation provided for in Resolution 3028 is intended to simplify the merger-absorption process.

This delegation of authority would be granted for a 26-month period.

The aggregate nominal amount of share capital increases that would be carried out pursuant to this delegation of authority would not exceed 2% of the share capital at the date of this Annual General Meeting (this amount is separate to any other maximum amounts set by other authorizations relating to capital increases).

The price of any shares to be issued under this delegation may not be more than 30% (or 40% if the vesting period stipulated by the scheme pursuant to Articles L. 3332-25 and L. 3332-26 of the French Labor Code is greater than or equal to ten years) below the average opening price of our Ordinary Shares for the 20 trading days prior to the decision setting the date for the opening of subscriptions, nor may it be higher than this average.

Under the conditions set forth in Articles L. 3332-18 to L. 3332-23 of the French Labor Code, the Board of Directors would determine the issue price of the newly created shares or securities granting access to the share capital. For the benefit of the members of a company savings plan (plan d’épargne entreprise), the shareholders’ preferential subscription right to the shares or securities would be eliminated.

As such authorizations will expireauthorization expired on October 20, 2021,November 12, 2023, in order to continue our equity compensation program beyond such date, pursuant to Resolution 35 and 3623 below, we are requesting that our shareholders renew their prior authorization to the boardBoard of directors to grant, respectively, stock options, and free ordinary shares for the 18-month period following the date of the 2021 Annual General Meeting.

Pursuant to Resolution 25 of the Annual General Meeting of May 24, 2019, our shareholders authorized the board of directors to grant share warrants. As such authorization expired on November 24, 2020, in order to continue our equity compensation program beyond such date, pursuant to Resolution 33 below, we are requesting that our shareholders renew their prior authorization to the board of directorsDirectors to grant, share warrants for the 18-month period following the date of the 20212023 Annual General Meeting.

Pursuant to Resolutions 25 and 26 of the General Meeting of May 12, 2022, our shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to grant, respectively, (i) stock options to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, and (ii) free Ordinary Shares.

PROPOSAL NO. 3333:

DELEGATION OF POWERS TO BE GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ISSUE STOCK WARRANTS (BSA), SUBSCRIPTION AND/OR ACQUISITION OF NEW AND/OR EXISTING STOCK WARRANTS (BSAANE) AND/OR SUBSCRIPTION AND/OR ACQUISITION OF NEW AND/OR EXISTING REDEEMABLE STOCK WARRANTS (BSAAR) WITH CANCELLATION OF PREFERENTIALPRE-EMPTIVE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS RESERVED FOR CATEGORIESWAIVED IN FAVOR OF PERSONS, SUSPENSION DURING A PUBLIC OFFERING PERIODCATEGORY OF PERSONS

Our boardBoard of directorsDirectors recommends the approval of this delegation of authority to grant warrants in order to ensure the Company can attract, recruit and compensate independent directors and consultants competitively by providing for customary compensatory grants to our existing and future non-employee directors.

To continue to attract and retain highly talented directors with deep industry knowledge and experience, we must be able to offer our directors compensation in line with market standards, which include an equity-based component.

However, pursuant to French law, non-employee directors may not be granted stock options or free shares. As a result, the right to subscribe for BSAs is a key element of our current non-employee director compensation.

This delegation of authority is critical to our business strategy because it enables us to continue issuing BSAs, which is vital to our ability to attract and retain highly talented directors, compete with compensation arrangements provided by our U.S.-based peers and strengthen the alignment of our directors’ interests with those of our shareholders.

We are also seeking authorization to grant BSAs to persons bound to the Company or one of its subsidiaries by a consultancy agreement who, pursuant to French law, cannot be granted stock options or free shares. In certain circumstances, it is important for the Company to be able to offer a long-term compensation element to such persons in order to engender loyalty in our highly competitive industry and align their incentives with the long-term interests of our shareholders.

The Board proposes the shareholders delegate to the Board of Directors, for a period of eighteen18 months its competence to proceed, on one or more occasions, in the proportions and at the time it deems appropriate, both in France and abroad, with the issue of new stock warrants (BSA), subscription and/or acquisition of new and/or existing stock warrants (BSAANE) and/or subscription and/or acquisition of new and/or existing redeemable stock warrants (BSAAR) with cancellation of preferential subscription rights reserved for the categories of persons defined below.

The total nominal amount of shares to which the warrants issued pursuant to this delegation give entitlement may not exceed 0.5% of the share capital existing on the daydate of the General Meeting.allocation decision. To this maximum amount will be added, as necessary, the nominal amount of the capital increase necessary to preserve the rights of the holders of rights or securities giving access to the Company’s capital, pursuant to the law, and where applicable, the contractual stipulations providing for other forms of preservation. This maximum amount is separate from all maximum amounts set by the other resolutions of this Annual General Meeting.

The issue price of the warrant will be fixed by the Board of Directors. In the event of assignment to non-executive directors, the warrant issue price will coincide with its market value.

The subscription and/or acquisition price of the shares acquired by exercising the warrants shall be at least equal to the average closing price of DBV TECHNOLOGIESTechnologies’ shares for the 20 trading days preceding the decision to issue the warrants, if applicable, less the warrant issue price.

Approval of this proposal eliminates the preferential subscription rights of shareholders to the BSAs, BSAANEs and BSAARs to be issued, to the benefit of the following categories of persons: corporate officers,

scientific committee members, employees of the company and persons associated with the company and the French or foreign companies related to the company, via a service agreement or as a consultant, in accordance with Article L.225-180 of the French Commercial Code.

This delegation means that the shareholders waive their pre-emptive rights to shares that may be issued by the exercising of warrants to the holders of BSAs, BSAANEs and/or BSAARs.

The Board cannot, unless authorized in advance by the Annual General Meeting, make use of this delegation in a period public offering initiated by a third party targeting the securities of the Company until the end of the offering period.

The Board of Directors shall be granted all necessary powers, under the terms set by the law and stipulated above, to issue BSAs, BSAANEs and/or BSAARs and in particular to:

 

set the specific list of beneficiaries within the categories of persons defined above, the nature and number of warrants to be allocated to each beneficiary, the number of shares to which each warrant shall give entitlement, the issue price of the warrants and the subscription and/or acquisition price of the shares to which the warrants give entitlement under the terms outlined above, the terms and deadlines for the subscription and exercise of the warrants, the associated adjustment mechanisms and more generally, all terms and conditions with respect to the issue

 

prepare an additional report describing the final terms and conditions of the transaction;

 

conduct the necessary share acquisitions within the framework of the share buyback program and to allocate them via the allocation plan;

 

record the completion of the capital increase resulting from the exercising of the BSAs, BSAANEs and/or BSAARs and to amend the Bylaws accordingly;

 

at its sole discretion, impute the cost of the capital increase to the amount of the associated premiums and deduct the necessary sums from this amount to bring the statutory reserve to one tenth of the new share capital after each increase;

 

delegate, under the conditions provided for by law, the powers required to enact the capital increase, and to delay the capital increase, within the limits and according to the terms and conditions previously set by the Board of Directors;

 

and more generally, perform all tasks required in similar matters.

The validity of histhis delegation is set at eighteen18 months from the date of the Annual General Meeting.

Description of Principle Features of the BSAs

Pursuant to SEC rules, we are providing the following description of the material terms of the BSA awards we expect to be included in our BSA award agreement letters.

Type of Awards. BSAs are granted at fair market value and entitle a holder to exercise the warrant for the underlying vested ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares at an exercise price per share determined by the boardBoard of directorsDirectors based and shall be at least equal to the average closing price of our ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the decision to issue the warrants, if applicable, less the warrant issue price. We use BSAs as part of our compensation for non-employee directors and consultants.

Administration. Subject to shareholder approval of this Proposal No. 33, the boardBoard of directorsDirectors will determine the recipients, dates of grant and exercise price of BSAs, the number of BSAs to be granted and the terms and conditions of the BSAs, including the period of their exercisability and their vesting schedule.

Governing Law. The BSAs are governed by the laws of France.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences for U.S. holders. In general, no taxable income is realized by a participant upon the grant of a BSA. Rather, at the time of exercise of the BSA, the participant will recognize

ordinary income for income tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares purchased over the sum of (a) the exercise price and (b) the subscription price paid at grant. The participant’s tax basis in any ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares received upon exercise of a BSA will be the fair market value of the ordinary shareOrdinary Share on the date of exercise, and if the shares are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the amount received upon such sale or exchange and the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise will generally be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the shares are a capital asset of the participant) depending upon the length of time such shares were held by the participant.

New Plan Benefits

The benefits or amounts that will be awarded or allocated under the delegation of authority to grant BSAs are not determinable at this time because the number of shares underlying BSA awards depends on the Company’s stock price, which cannot be predicted, the fair market value, the decision of directors of whether to subscribe for the BSA awards and the exercise of discretion by our boardBoard of directors.Directors.

This delegation, for the part not used, if applicable, supersedes, as from the date hereof, the unused portion, if any, and all relevant prior delegations.of the delegation of authority granted by the General Meeting of May 12, 2022 in its twenty-third resolution.

Under French law, our boardBoard of directorsDirectors must have a specific delegation of authority from shareholders to increase the Company’s share capital by issuing free ordinary shares.Ordinary Shares.

If approved, the new authorization to grant free shares options will supersede the authorization to grant free shares. The renewal of this authority is fundamental to our business strategy because it enables us to continue issuing free shares as necessary to attract and retain the high-quality executives and key employees that are critical to our success, while aligning employee interests with those of shareholders. For a detailed discussion of our executive compensation policy and objectives, see “Executive Compensation” elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Because we are a Nasdaq-listed company and considered a U.S. domestic registrant under SEC rules, our shareholders continue to benefit from the protections afforded to them under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq and SEC, including those rules that limit our ability to issue shares in specified circumstances. In addition, we follow U.S. capital markets and governance standards to the extent permitted by French law and emphasize that this authorization is required as a matter of French law and is not otherwise required for other U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq with which we compete.

If the shares are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the amount recognized upon vesting and the sale or exchange value of such shares will generally be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the shares are a capital asset of the participant) depending upon the length of time such shares were held by the participant.

PROPOSAL NO. 36:35:

AUTHORIZATION TO BE GRANTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO GRANT SHARE SUBSCRIPTION AND/OR PURCHASE OPTIONS (STOCK OPTIONS) TO MEMBERS OF STAFF (AND/AND/OR CERTAIN CORPORATE OFFICERS)OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY OR RELATED COMPANIES OR ECONOMIC INTEREST GROUPS

Under French law, our boardBoard of directorsDirectors must have a specific delegation of authority from shareholders to increase the Company’s share capital by issuing Ordinary Shares in the form of stock options.

As a result, the shareholders are asked to grant the Board of Directors the authority to issue and grant stock options, each representing a right to receive one ordinary share.Ordinary Share.

The renewal of this authority is fundamental to our business strategy because it enables us to continue granting options as necessary to attract and retain the high-quality executives and key employees that are critical to our success, while aligning executive and employee interests with those of shareholders. For a detailed discussion of our executive compensation policy and objectives, see “Executive Compensation” elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Because we are a Nasdaq-listed company and considered a U.S. domestic registrant under SEC rules, our shareholders continue to benefit from the protections afforded to them under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq and SEC, including those rules that limit our ability to issue shares in specified circumstances. In addition, we follow U.S. capital markets and governance standards to the extent permitted by French law and emphasize that this authorization is required as a matter of French law and is not otherwise required for other U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq with which we compete.

The Board then proposes the shareholders authorize the Board of Directors, for a period of eighteen18 months, to grant the beneficiaries indicated below, on one or more occasions, options giving access to new shares in the company to be issued in respect of a capital increase or to the purchase of existing shares in the company as a result of buybacks carried out under the terms set by law.

The beneficiaries of these options may only be:

 

firstly, some or all members of staff, or certain categories of staff and where appropriate, those companies or economic interest groups related to it under the conditions of Article L. 225-180 of the French Commercial Code; or

 

secondly, corporate officers who meet the conditions set out in Articles L22-10-58 and L. 225-185 of the French Commercial Code.

The total number of options that may be granted by the Board of Directors under this authorization may not grant entitlement to subscribe to or purchase more than 7.5% of the share capital on the date of the allocation decision. To this amount will be added, as necessary, the par value of any capital increase necessary to preserve the rights of the beneficiaries of the options in the event of transactions involving the Company’s capital, pursuant to the law and, if applicable, any contractual stipulations providing for other forms of preservation.

The subscription and/or acquisition price of the shares to be paid by the beneficiaries will be set on the day the options are granted by the Board of Directors in accordance with the regulations in effect and must not be less than the average opening price of the shares for the twenty trading days prior to the grant decision.

No options may be granted during the blackout periods set out in the regulations.

This authorization includes, in favor of the beneficiaries of options giving access to shares, an express waiver by shareholders of their pre-emptive rights to subscribe to the shares that will be issued as and when the options are exercised.

Approval of this proposal delegates all powers to the Board of Directors to set the other terms and conditions for the granting of options and their exercise, in particular to:

 

determine the conditions under which the options shall be granted and to draft the list or categories of beneficiaries as scheduled above; to determine, where appropriate, the seniority and performance conditions that must be met by these beneficiaries; to determine the conditions under which the price and number of shares must be adjusted, particularly in the presumptions set out under Articles R. 225-137 to R. 225-142 of the French Commercial Code;

 

define the exercise period(s) for the options granted, with the understanding that the term of the options may not exceed a period of ten years from the grant date;

 

provide the option to temporarily suspend the exercise of options for a maximum period of three months in the event that financial transactions are performed involving the exercise of a right attached to shares;

 

if applicable, conduct the necessary share acquisitions within the framework of the share buyback program and to allocate them via the option plan;

 

proceed with all acts and formalities required to make final those capital increases that may, if necessary, be performed pursuant to the authorization granted by this resolution; amend the by-laws accordingly and generally to do whatever is necessary; or

 

at its own discretion and if it sees fit, impute the cost of increases in share capital to the amount of the associated premiums and deduct the necessary sums from this amount to bring the statutory reserve to one tenth of the new share capital after each increase.

Description of Principle Features of the Stock Options

Pursuant to SEC rules, we are providing the following description of the material terms of the stock option awards we expect to be included in our stock options award agreement letters.

Employee share options may also be granted to the chairman of our boardBoard of directors,Directors, our chief executive officer and our deputy chief executive officers, if any.

exercise period of the options, subject to the written consent of the optionees holding such options, if such amendments or modifications impair the rights of the optionees.

Vesting; Holding Period. Stock options are expected to vest at the times and upon the conditions that our boardBoard of directorsDirectors may determine, as reflected in an applicable award grant letters and the 20212023 stock option plan, subject to waiver and release by our boardBoard of directorsDirectors in its sole discretion. Awards of free sharesstock options granted under the 20212023 stock optionsoption plan generally are expected to vest on the basis of continued employment or presence through the end of the vesting period and may require the satisfaction of performance conditions to be determined by the boardBoard of directors.Directors.

Equitable Adjustments. In the event of the carrying out by the company of any of the financial operations pursuant to Article L. 225-181 of the French Commercial Code as follows: (i) amortization or reduction of share capital, (ii) a change to the allocation of profits, (iii) a distribution of free shares, (iv) capitalization of reserves, profits or issuance premiums, (v) a distribution of reserves, or (vi) an issuance of shares or securities giving right to shares to be subscribed for in cash or by set-off of existing indebtedness offered exclusively to shareholders, the boardBoard of directorsDirectors will take the required measures to protect the interest of the optionees in the conditions set forth in Article L. 228-99 of the French Commercial Code.

Governing Law. The stock options are governed by the laws of France.

U.S. Tax Limitations on incentive stock options. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of our ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares issuable under incentive stock options that are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year under all of our Stock Option Plans may not exceed $100,000. Stock options, or portions thereof, that exceed such limit will generally be treated as non-statutory share options. No incentive stock option may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own shares possessing more than 10% of our total combined voting power or that of any of our affiliates unless (1) the exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to the stock options on the date of grant and (2) the term of the incentive stock option does not exceed five years from the date of grant.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences for U.S. Taxpayers

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of an award of employee share options granted under the delegation under this Proposal No. 36,26, the material terms of which is discussed above. It does not purport to be a complete description of all applicable rules, and those rules (including those summarized here) are subject to change. The summary discusses only federal income tax laws and does not discuss any state or local or non-U.S. tax laws that may be applicable.

Incentive stock optionsStock Options

An optionee recognizes no taxable income for regular income tax purposes as a result of the grant or exercise of ana stock option that qualifies as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code. If an optionee exercises the option and then later sells or otherwise disposes of the ordinary Shares acquired through the exercise of the option after both the two-year anniversary of the date the option was granted and the one-year anniversary of the exercise, the optionee will recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale price of the ordinary Shares and the exercise price, and we will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes.

However, if the optionee disposes of such ordinary Shares either on or before the two-year anniversary of the date of grant or on or before the one-year anniversary of the date of exercise (a “disqualifying disposition”), any gain up to the excess of the fair market value of the ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares on the date of exercise over the exercise

price generally will be taxed as ordinary income, unless the ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares are disposed of in a transaction in which the participant would not recognize a loss (such as a gift). Any gain in excess of that amount will be a

capital gain. If a loss is recognized, there will be no ordinary income, and such loss will be a capital loss. Any ordinary income recognized by the optionee upon the disqualifying disposition of the ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares generally should be deductible by us for federal income tax purposes, except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code.

For purposes of the alternative minimum tax, the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the ordinary Shares on the exercise date is treated as an adjustment item in computing the optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income in the year of exercise. In addition, special alternative minimum tax rules may apply to certain subsequent disqualifying dispositions of the Ordinary Shares or provide certain basis adjustments or tax credits.

Non-statutoryNon-Statutory Stock Options

An optionee generally recognizes no taxable income as the result of the grant of such an employee share option. However, upon exercising the option, the optionee normally recognizes ordinary income equal to the amount that the fair market value of the ordinary Shares on such date exceeds the exercise price. If the optionee is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of the ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares acquired by the exercise of a non-statutory stock option, any gain or loss (based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the exercise date) will be taxed as capital gain or loss. No tax deduction is available to us with respect to the grant of a non-statutory stock option or the sale of the ordinary sharesOrdinary Shares acquired through the exercise of the non-statutory stock option.

Annex B

COMPENSATION POLICY FOR CORPORATE OFFICERS

(SAY ON PAY EX ANTE)

(resolutions twelve and thirteen14 to 17 presented to the Combined General Shareholders’ Meeting of May 19, 2021)April 12, 2023)

Based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee and taking into accountconsidering the recommendations of the Middlenext Code, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) has established a compensation policy for the following corporate officers of DBV Technologies (the “Company”): Chairman of the Board, Board members, Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Chief Executive Officers (if any).

This compensation policy is in line with the Company’s corporate interest, contributes to its sustainability and is in line with its business strategy as described in Chapter 1 of the 20202022 Universal Registration Document.

No compensation component, of any nature whatsoever, may be determined, allocated or paid by the Company, nor any commitment made by the Company if it is not in accordance with the approved compensation policy or, in its absence, with the compensation or practices existing within the Company.

The determination, review and implementation of the compensation policy for each of the corporate officers is carried out by the Board on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. When the Board decides on a compensation component or a commitment in favor of the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, the interested party may not take part in the deliberations or vote on the component or commitment concerned.

As part of the decision-making process followed for the determination and review of the compensation policy, the conditions of compensation and employment of the Company’s employees were taken into account by the Compensation Committee and the Board.

In proposing the structure of this compensation, the Compensation Committee also relies on studies indicating market practices for comparable companies. These studies are based on a sample of companies with common characteristics in terms of size, workforce, market capitalization, clinical stage or geographic footprint.

The Compensation Committee ensures that none of the components of remuneration is disproportionate and analyses the remuneration as a whole, taking into account all of its components.

In the event of a change in governance, the compensation policy will be applied to the Company’s new corporate officers, with necessary adjustments where applicable.

1/ Compensation policy for the Chairman of the Board and for Board members

The compensation policy mentioned below is applicable to Board members and to the Chairman of the Board, when he/she does not hold the position of Chief Executive Officer. The components of the total compensation and benefits of any kind that may be granted to the Chairman and Board members in respect of their mandates, as well as their respective importance, are as follows:

 

  

Fixed compensation (fifteenth resolution)

The Chairman of the Board may receive an annual fixed compensation, which is determined in respect of practices noted in comparable companies, and which takes into account his specific functions as well as his

membership of one or more committees, if applicable. For information purposes, as of the date of this report, the annual fixed compensation is set at 150,000 euros.

  

Compensation paid in respect of Board Member duties (sixteenth resolution)

In its eighththe 16th ordinary resolution submitted to the vote of the 2023 Annual General Meeting, of June 15, 2017it is proposed to set the remuneration of the Board members at the maximum annual sum of 600,000800,000 euros valid for the current financial year and until further decision of the General Meeting. It should be proposed, at the General Meeting of May 19, 2021, that the maximum annual sum be raised to 800,000 euros. This new amount will remain valid for the current financial year and until further decision of theAnnual General Meeting.

The criteria for allocating the fixed annual sum allocated by the Annual General Meeting to the Board members were set by the Board on the proposal of the Compensation Committee and take into account committeeCommittee membership and committeeCommittee chairmanship.

As of the date of this report, and for information purposes, the allocation of Board members’ compensation is the following:

 

each Board member, with the exception of the Chairman of the Board and the CEO, is entitled to receive 70,000100,000 euros.

 

the Chairman of the Audit Committee is entitled to receive an additional compensation of 20,000 euros.

 

the Chairman of the Compensation Committee is entitled to receive an additional compensation of 10,000 euros.

 

the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee is entitled to receive an additional compensation of 10,000 euros.

The members of the above-mentioned committees are entitled to receive an additional compensation of 5,000 euros.

The Board meeting on February 14, 2023 has added an additional criterion to the directors’ compensation policy. The above allocation of compensation is calculated by considering the presence (physical or by means of videoconference or telecommunication means allowing their identification and guaranteeing their effective participation) of each member as follows:

(a)

For attendance at least 90% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Committees scheduled during the year: the director will be entitled to 100% of the amounts referred to above;

(b)

For attendance at less than 90% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Committees scheduled during the financial year: the compensation is calculated on a pro rata basis according to the actual attendance of the Director concerned.

 

  

Long-term compensation

The Company bases its long-term compensation policy on a global strategy of retention and motivation that is competitive in terms of market practices in the pharmaceutical industrybiotechnology industry.

Pursuant to this compensation policy, the Company may decide to grant share subscription warrants (BSA), at fair market value, to the Chairman of the Board and/or Board members.

 

  

Benefits of any kind

The Chairman of the Board and Board members may be entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses incurred in the interest of the Company, including attendance at meetings of the Board.

Board members may also receive additional compensation for exceptional missions carried out pursuant to a specific agreement.

Compensation at the end of the mandate

The Chairman of the Board does not benefit from any agreement providing for an indemnity in the event of termination of his corporate mandate.

2/ Compensation policy for the Chief Executive Officer and/or for any other Executive Corporate Officer

The compensation policy mentioned below is applicable to the Chief Executive Officer, whether or not he or she simultaneously holds the position of Chairman of the Board.

The fixed, variable and exceptional items constituting the total compensation and benefits of any kind that may be granted to the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to his mandate, as well as their respective importance, are as follows:

 

  

Fixed compensation

The fixed compensation of the Chief Executive Officer is determined by taking into accountconsidering the level and difficulty of the responsibilities, experience in the role and practices noted in comparable companies.

The Board, in its meeting held on November 14, 2018, decided to set the fixed annual compensation of the Chief Executive Officer at US$ 600,000. This amount remains unchanged as of the date of this report. This compensation is payable monthly.

 

  

Annual variable compensation

The Chief Executive Officer receives annual variable compensation for which the Board, on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, defines each year financial and non-financial performance criteria that are diversified and demanding, precise and pre-established, allowing a complete analysis of performance.

These criteria are aligned with the Company’s short and medium-term strategy and represent important value inflection points such as buildingthe measure of the commercial pipeline, regulatoryperformance is both qualitative, taking into account the progress of product candidates inVITESSE clinical study and the United States and in Europe, buildingregistration of the future pipeline in line with the scientific strategy, culture transformationBLA, and the preservation of a certain level ofquantitative, including for instance submission to quarterly cash (controlburn objectives and drive capital management).

Each year, the Board determines the rate of achievement of each objective, according to a predefined scale, of the annual variable compensation.yearly operational objectives.

The maximum amount of annual variable compensation for the Chief Executive Officer corresponds to 150% of the annual fixed compensation, it being specified that if the overall rate of achievement of the objectives predefined by the Board is less than 50% (interpreted strictly), no annual variable compensation would be due.

These criteria for variable compensation contributeEach year, the Board determines the rate of achievement of each objective, according to the objectivesa predefined scale, of the compensation policy in the following manner: they are in line with the Company’s corporate interest, contribute to its sustainability and are in line with the Company’s business strategy.annual variable compensation.

In order to determine the extent to which the performance criteria for variable compensation were met, the Board relied in particular on the Company’s cash position, the success of financing transactions and the regulatory progress of product candidates.

 

  

Exceptional Compensation

The Board may decide on the proposal of the Compensation Committee, to grant exceptional compensation to the Chief Executive Officer in view of very special circumstances, and unrelated to the fixed and variable remuneration components. The payment of this type of compensation must be justified by an event such as the completion of a major event for the Company. The amount of the exceptional compensation may not exceed a maximum of 25% of the annual fixed compensation.

The payment of the variable and, where applicable, exceptional compensation components allocated to the Chief Executive Officer for the past financial year is subject to the approval by the Ordinary General Meeting of the compensation components paid to him during or allocated to him for the said financial year (ex post vote).

  

Long-term compensation

The Company’s long-term compensation policy is part of an overall strategy to retain and motivate its managers and employees and to be competitive with market practices in the pharmaceutical biotechnologyindustry.

The long-term compensation policy implemented for the Chief Executive Officer is mainly based on the granting of stock options based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. Where applicable, these grants may be subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions that may be set by the Board at the time of grant.

The stock options vestBefore November 2022 grant, the stock-options vested progressively as follows:

 

25% of the stock options will be eligible to vest at the end of a 12-month period from the date of grant.

 

Then, after expiration of the aforementioned 12-month period, 12.5% of the stock options will be eligible to vest at the end of each subsequent 6-month period.

Since November 2022 grant, the stock-options have a 4-year staggered vesting, with 25% of the stock-options eligible to vest at each anniversary of the grant.

The vesting and exercise of the stock optionsstock-options are subject to the fulfillment of a presence condition. Stock-options have a term of ten years.

Share-based compensation is in line with Company’s corporate interest, contributes to its sustainability and is in line with Company’s business strategy.

Additionally, the Chief Executive Officer is, in accordance with the law and methods adopted by the Board, required to retain a significant number of shares. With regard to stock options, the Board has set at 10% the number of shares to be held by the Chief Executive Officer until the end of his term of office.

 

  

Benefits of any kind

In addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred in the performance of his duties, the Chief Executive Officer may be reimbursed for the cost of his tax consultations and will benefit from a tax equalization clause with respect to his status as a US resident. He may also be reimbursed for the costs of legal advice incurred in the performance of his duties.

The Chief Executive Officer may also benefit from the coverage by the Company of his residence expenses in France.

 

  

Welcome bonus

When a new Chief Executive Officer is appointed, the Board may decide, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, to grant compensation, indemnity or benefit on taking up his/her duties.

 

  

Compensation policy for any other Executive Corporate Officer

The principles and criteria for compensation mentioned above also apply to any other executive corporate officer of the Company (such as Deputy Chief Executive Officers).

For instance, Deputy Chief Executive Officers may therefore receive, pursuant to their mandate, fixed, variable and exceptional compensation as well as long-term compensation, benefits in kind and a welcome bonus under the same conditions as those described for the Chief Executive Officer.

They may also be granted with free shares. With respect to the allocation of free shares, vesting and, where applicable, holding periods are defined by the Board at the time of the grant and comply with the authorization of the General Meeting.

These levels of compensation will be determined taking into account the difficulty and degree of responsibility, experience in the position, seniority in the company, and practices observed in comparable companies.
