Daix (France), New York City (New York, United States), July 9, 2026 – Inventiva (Euronext Paris and NASDAQ: IVA) (“Inventiva” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of an oral therapy for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (“MASH”), is pleased to announce the completion of the final step of the transactions previously announced on June 2, 2026 (the “Combined Transaction”) through the issuance of approximately 15.7 million new warrants (bons de souscription d’actions) (the "New EIB Warrants") to the European Investment Bank (the "EIB") and the surrender and cancellation of all remaining warrants originally issued to the EIB in January 2024 (the “Legacy EIB Tranche B Warrants”) that were not repurchased in the Combined Transaction.

Andrew Obenshain, CEO of Inventiva, commented: " The completion of this EIB warrant restructuring is an important step in strengthening Inventiva’s capital structure and improving alignment with our shareholders. By replacing the remaining legacy EIB warrants with a simplified warrant instrument that no longer includes specific contractual anti-dilution protection mechanisms, we have eliminated a potential source of future uncertainty and dilution. This achievement, together with the previously announced broader refinancing, provides Inventiva with increased financial flexibility as we continue advancing the development of lanifibranor, our investigational pan-PPAR agonist for the treatment of MASH."

The issuance of the New EIB Warrants forms part of the comprehensive refinancing transaction previously announced by the Company and marks the completion of the EIB warrant restructuring, a key step in the Company's broader refinancing and capital structure optimization efforts. It follows the previously announced repayment in full of the EIB loans and the repurchase and cancellation of all warrants issued to the EIB in November 2022 (the "Legacy EIB Tranche A Warrants", and, together with the Legacy EIB Tranche B Warrant, the “Legacy EIB Warrants”) and a portion of the Legacy EIB Tranche B Warrants. The New EIB Warrants have been issued to replace the Legacy EIB Tranche B Warrants that were not repurchased in the Combined Transaction and have now been surrendered for cancellation.

Issuance of the New EIB Warrants

On July 9, 2026, pursuant to the previously announced master agreement entered into with the EIB on June 1, 2026 and following the authorization granted by the shareholders of the Company at the Combined General Meeting held on June 30, 2026, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company approved the issuance of 15,677,573 New EIB Warrants to the EIB and the execution of a subscription agreement with the EIB governing such issuance.

The New EIB Warrants were issued at a subscription price of €0.01 per warrant. Each New EIB Warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of €0.01 per New EIB Warrant. If all New EIB Warrants were exercised, they would represent approximately 6.5% of the Company’s current share capital (on a non-diluted basis).

The New EIB Warrants do not include the specific contractual anti-dilution protection mechanism or the put option that was included in the Legacy EIB Warrants, thereby simplifying the Company’s capital structure and reducing potential future dilution.

The New EIB Warrants will not be listed or admitted to trading on any market and will not be eligible for settlement through Euroclear. They will be issued in registered form (nominatif) and will be freely transferable as from the opening of the exercise period, in accordance with their terms and conditions.

The New EIB Warrants will expire on January 4, 2036 (the "Maturity Date") and are exercisable as from August 30, 2026 until the Maturity Date.

For information regarding the Combined Transaction, please refer to the Company’s press release dated June 2, 2026. The issuance of the New EIB Warrants does not alter the information regarding the Company’s cash resources previously disclosed by the Company in that press release.

Cancellation of the Remaining EIB Tranche B Warrants

Upon subscription of the New EIB Warrants, the EIB irrevocably surrendered for cancellation all Legacy EIB Tranche B Warrants that were not repurchased in the Combined Transaction, representing 2,444,654 warrants.

The cancellation follows the repurchase and cancellation by the Company, of all 2,266,023 Legacy EIB Tranche A Warrants and 700,000 Legacy EIB Tranche B Warrants on June 12, 2026 in connection with the Combined Transaction.

Impact on Capital Structure

The issuance of the New EIB Warrants represents a key step in the simplification of Inventiva’s capital structure. By replacing the Legacy EIB Tranche B Warrants that were not repurchased in the Combined Transaction with a new warrant instrument that no longer contains specific contractual anti-dilution protection mechanisms, the Company reduces future dilution in respect of warrants issued to the EIB.

The share capital of the Company following completion of the cancellation of the Remaining EIB Tranche B Warrants and the issuance of the New EIB Warrants is as follows:
