Financing follows completion of enrollment of Phase 3 NATiV3 study evaluating lanifibranor in MASH and satisfaction of other specified conditions.

Daix (France), New York City (New York, United States), May 5, 2025 – Inventiva (Euronext Paris and Nasdaq: IVA) ("Inventiva" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral small molecule therapies for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis ("MASH") and other diseases with significant unmet medical needs, today announced that the Board of Directors called the second tranche of its previously announced¹ structured financing of up to €348 million (the "Structured Financing"), for gross proceeds of €115.6 million (net proceeds of €108.5 million) (the "T2 Transaction").

Frederic Cren, Chief Executive Officer of Inventiva, stated: "We are pleased to have achieved the timely enrollment of NATiV3 and met all the conditions for the issuance of this second tranche. The quality of the investors that participated in this financing is a testimony of the strength of the clinical data generated so far with lanifibranor in patients with MASH. With enrollment of the pivotal Phase 3 completed, we are now focusing on making of lanifibranor the second oral drug for the treatment of MASH if approved. MASH is a disease for which we believe lanifibranor profile, especially in patients with advanced fibrosis and type 2 diabetes, is poised to play a key role in addressing the high unmet medical needs of patients with MASH."

The Board of Directors confirmed that all the previously disclosed conditions for the issuance of T2 Transaction have been satisfied.

The investors in the T2 Transaction were the same investors that participated in the first tranche of the Structured Financing, which was led by: New Enterprise Associates, BVF Partners LP and Samsara BioCapital, with also the participation of other investors, including Andera Partners, Deep Track Capital, Eventide Asset Management, Great Point Partners, LLC, Invus, Perceptive Advisors, Schonfeld Strategic Advisors and Sofinnova Crossover I SLP.

Reasons for the issuance and use of the proceeds of the T2 Transaction

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the T2 Transaction (€108.5 million), together with existing cash and cash equivalents, mainly to finance lanifibranor's development in MASH and notably the continuation of its NATiV3 Phase 3 clinical trial.

Working capital statement

As of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents amounted to €96.6 million. Based on Company's projected expenditures, the Company estimated that its cash and cash equivalents prior to the T2 Transaction would enable it to finance its activities until the middle of the third quarter of 2025. Accordingly, as of the date of this press release and before the closing of the T2 Transaction, the Company's current cash position is not sufficient to cover its operating needs for at least the next 12 months².

Following the closing of the T2 Transaction for expected gross proceeds of €115.6 million (€108.5 million net proceeds) and taking into account the anticipated receipt of the €8.8 million ($10 million) net milestone payment by CTTQ³ within 30 days of the closing of the T2 Transaction and the anticipated completion of the Company's pipeline prioritization plan, the Company estimates that it would have sufficient net working capital to meet its current obligations over the next 12 months, and would enable it to finance its activities until the end of the third quarter of 2026².

The Company will need to raise additional funds to achieve its long term objectives for the development and potential commercialization of lanifibranor through other potential public offerings or private placements and potential strategic options such as business development partnerships, merger and acquisition transactions and/or licensing agreements.

Main characteristics of the T2 Transaction

Pursuant to the 33^rd and 49^th resolutions of the general meeting of the shareholders held on December 11, 2024 (the "General Meeting") in accordance with Articles L. 225-138 and seq. of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), the Board of Directors met on May 2, 2025, and decided to issue, without shareholders' preferential subscription rights, (i) the ABSAs (as defined below) to the investors named in resolutions 34 to 48 of the General Meeting and (ii) the PFW-BSAs (as defined below) to the investors named in resolutions 50 to 57 of the General Meeting.

Information available to the public

Detailed information regarding the Company, including its business, financial information, results, perspectives and related risk factors are contained in the Company's 2024 universal registration document filed with the AMF on April 15, 2025 under number D.25-0265 (the "2024 Universal Registration Document"). This document as well as other regulated information and all of the Company's press releases, are available free of charge on the website of the Company (www.inventivapharma.com). Your attention is drawn to the risk factors related to the Company and its activities presented in Chapter 2.1 of its 2024 Universal Registration Document as updated by the Information Document.

In particular, the Company has updated risk factor 2.1.5.4 "Dilution risk" of the 2024 Universal Registration Document (for more information about the dilution, please see the above capitalization table) to reflect that that the exercise of all the dilutive instruments held by officers, directors and employees, the warrants issued to the EIB and the pre-funded warrants issued in October and December 2024 and in the context of the T2 Transaction (and excluding the shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants), would result in a dilution of 45.5% to existing shareholders on the basis of the Company's current share capital. If all of the abovementioned instruments are exercised, including the Warrants issued in this T2 Transaction, the dilution would amount to 46.4 % on the basis of the Company's current share capital.

Important Notice

This press release contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this press release are forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, forecasts and estimates with respect to Inventiva's cash resources, Inventiva's expected use of the proceeds from the T2 Transaction, the completion and timing of the T2 Transaction, the occurrence of the T3 Triggering Event, and the exercise by the investors of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants to be issued in connection with the T2 Transaction, Inventiva's expectations with respect to ownership in its share capital by certain investors, Inventiva's cash position following the T2 Transaction, the potential benefit of the pipeline prioritization plan, forecasts and estimates with respect to Inventiva's NATiV3 Phase 3 clinical trial of lanifibranor in MASH and compensated cirrhosis, including duration, timing and costs, and the results and timing thereof and regulatory matters with respect thereto, clinical trial data releases and publications, the potential therapeutic benefits of lanifibranor, and future activities, expectations, plans, growth and prospects of Inventiva, and the absence of material adverse events. Certain of these statements, forecasts and estimates can be recognized by the use of words such as, without limitation, "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "plans", "seeks", "estimates", "may", "will", "would", "could", "might", "should", "designed", "hopefully", "target", "potential", "opportunity", "possible", "aim", and "continue" and similar expressions. Such statements are not historical facts but rather are statements of future expectations and other forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs. These statements reflect such views and assumptions prevailing as of the date of the statements and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause future results, performance, or future events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Actual events are difficult to predict and may depend upon factors that are beyond Inventiva's control. There can be no guarantees with respect to pipeline product candidates that the clinical trial results will be available on their anticipated timeline, that future clinical trials will be initiated as anticipated, that product candidates will receive the necessary regulatory approvals, or that any of the anticipated milestones by Inventiva or its partners will be reached on their expected timeline, or at all. Future results may turn out to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements, forecasts and estimates due to a number of factors, including that the recommendation of the DMC may not be indicative of a potential marketing approval, Inventiva cannot provide assurance on the impacts of the Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction on the results or timing of the NATiV3 trial or regulatory matters with respect thereto, that Inventiva is a clinical-stage company with no approved products and no historical product revenues, Inventiva has incurred significant losses since inception and has never generated any revenue from product sales, Inventiva will require additional capital to finance its operations, in the absence of which, Inventiva may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of its research or development programs or be unable to expand its operations or otherwise capitalize on its business opportunities and may be unable to continue as a going concern, Inventiva's ability to obtain financing and to enter into potential transactions, Inventiva's ability to satisfy in part or in full the closing conditions for the T2 Transaction, on the expected timing or at all, and whether, when and to what extent the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Warrants and other dilutive instruments may be exercised, and by which holders, Inventiva's future success is dependent on the successful clinical development, regulatory approval and subsequent commercialization of its lanifibranor, preclinical studies or earlier clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results and the results of Inventiva's and its partners' clinical trials may not support Inventiva's and its partners' product candidate claims, Inventiva's expectations with respect to its clinical trials may prove to be wrong and regulatory authorities may require additional holds and/or additional amendments to Inventiva's clinical trials, Inventiva's expectations with respect to the clinical development plan for lanifibranor for the treatment of MASH may not be realized and may not support the approval of a New Drug Application, Inventiva's ability to identify additional products or product candidates with significant commercial potential, Inventiva's expectations with respect to its pipeline prioritization plan and related workforce reduction, including whether the plan will be implemented and the timing, potential benefits, expenses and consequences relating thereto, Inventiva's ability to execute on its commercialization, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategy, Inventiva's ability to successfully cooperate with existing partners or enter into new partnerships, and to fulfill its obligations under any agreements entered into in connection with such partnerships, the benefits of its existing and future partnerships on the clinical development, regulatory approvals and, if approved, commercialization of its product candidates, and the achievement of milestones thereunder and the timing thereof, Inventiva and its partners may encounter substantial delays beyond expectations in their clinical trials or fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities, the ability of Inventiva and its partners to recruit and retain patients in clinical studies, enrollment and retention of patients in clinical trials is an expensive and time-consuming process and could be made more difficult or rendered impossible by multiple factors outside Inventiva's and its partners' control, Inventiva's product candidates may cause adverse drug reactions or have other properties that could delay or prevent their regulatory approval, or limit their commercial potential, Inventiva faces substantial competition and Inventiva's business, and pre-clinical studies and clinical development programs and timelines, its financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations, unfavorable conditions in its industry, geopolitical events, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions, the conflict in the Middle East and the related risk of a larger conflict, health epidemics, and macroeconomic conditions, including developments in international trade policies, global inflation, financial and credit market fluctuations, tariffs and other trade barriers, international trade relations, political turmoil, and natural catastrophes, uncertain financial markets and disruptions in banking systems. Given these risks and uncertainties, no representations are made as to the accuracy or fairness of such forward-looking statements, forecasts, and estimates. Furthermore, forward-looking statements, forecasts and estimates only speak as of the date of this press release. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements.

Please refer to the Universal Registration Document for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers on April 15, 2025 and the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 15, 2025 for other risks and uncertainties affecting Inventiva, including those described under the caption "Risk Factors", and in future filings with the SEC.
