Note 15.1. Structured debt financing with Kreos & Claret subscribed in August 2023 – “Kreos / Claret Financing”
The Kreos / Claret Financing consists of three tranches of €25,000 thousand each in aggregate principal amount (the convertible
OCABSA and the second and third tranches of non-convertible bonds, respectively the "tranches A, B and C") as well as a Minimal
Return Indemnification ("MRI") to the benefit of the bondholders.
In addition to the Kreos / Claret OCABSA, the Group has issued share warrants (the “tranche A-B BSA” and “tranche C BSA”),
giving Kreos and Claret the right to subscribe to up to 214,198 and 405,832 ordinary shares respectively.
The OCABSA are compound instruments, split between (i) a debt component (then measured at amortized cost) and (ii) an equity
component corresponding to the conversion option and the attached OCABSA warrants.
The OCABSA warrants are considered as an embedded component of the bonds rather than a separate stand-alone financial
instrument.
The Kreos / Claret second and third tranches are hybrid instruments, split between (i) debt host contracts accounted for at amortized
cost and (ii) bifurcated embedded derivatives accounted for at fair value through profit and loss, corresponding to the Minimal Return
Indemnifications and the prepayment options (the fair value of the prepayment options being deemed insignificant at issuance and as
of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025).
As the A-B and C warrants (the "Kreos / Claret BSA") are contractually transferable separately from the bonds and are redeemable in
a variable number of ordinary shares of the Group, they are classified as standalone derivative financial liabilities.
The detailed terms and conditions and the accounting treatment of these instruments are presented in Note 15.1 to the annual
consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2024 accompanying the Group’s Annual Report.
On August 6, 2025, Kreos Capital VII(UK) Limited converted the Tranche A portion of the Kreos / Claret Financing (the Kreos /
Claret OCABSA), resulting in the issuance of 785,389 ordinary shares.  In addition, on the same date Kreos Capital VII Aggregator
SCSp exercised its share warrants (the tranche A-B BSA and tranche C BSA) resulting in the issuance of 319,251 ordinary shares of
the Group.
On August 28, 2025, Claret European Growth Capital Fund III SCSp, exercised its share warrants (the tranche A-B BSA and tranche
C BSA) 206,662 shares of the Group.
Measurement of the Kreos / Claret second and third tranches hybrid instruments
At inception, the net cash proceeds reflect the tranches' initial fair values. The fair values of the Minimal Return Indemnifications were
deducted from the initial carrying values of the debt components of each tranche, which were subsequently measured at amortized cost
using the EIR method.
The fair values of the Minimum Return Indemnifications were measured using the following assumptions:

For the purpose of measuring the fair value of the MRI (shortfall payment), the fair value of the tranche A-B and C BSA was
measured with a Black Scholes model under the Final redemption scenario and with a Monte Carlo model under the Tender offer
scenario.
The increase in the discount rate assumption for the Tranches B and C MRI between December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025 primarily
reflects changes in market conditions and a higher credit risk.
As of December 31, 2024, using the same assumption with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate, +10% in
the probability of achieving the Final redemption scenario and +1% discount rate would result in changes of the MRI B and C fair
value by respectively €-1 thousand, €-3 thousand, €-3 thousand, €+3 thousand and €-82 thousand.
As of June 30, 2025, using the same assumption with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate, +10% in the
probability of achieving the Final redemption scenario and +1% discount rate would result in changes of the MRI B and C fair value
by respectively €1 thousand, €-82 thousand, €-6 thousand, €-6 thousand and €-60 thousand.
Measurement of the Kreos / Claret tranche A-B-C BSA
The Kreos / Claret tranche A-B and tranche C BSA are measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The model
considers two probability-weighted scenarios, i.e. (i) the 7-year expiry of the BSA and (ii) an earlier exercise upon a tender offer. The
main data and assumptions are the following:

value by respectively €37 thousand, €350 thousand, €61 thousand and €75 thousand.
As of June 30, 2025, using the same assumption with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate and +10% in

respectively €34 thousand, €391 thousand, €50 thousand and €103 thousand.
Note 15.2.  Heights convertible notes
The Heights convertible notes consists of (i) a host debt instrument and (ii) conversion and settlement options representing embedded
derivatives. The whole instrument is measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") at each reporting date.
In application of the Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-
current, and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, the Heights convertible notes are classified as current financial liabilities.
The fair value of the Heights convertible notes (including the embedded features) has been measured with a Monte Carlo model,
considering two probability-weighted scenarios: (i) a Put Event or Default/Dissolution scenario and (ii) a voluntary conversion at
maturity scenario. The main data and assumptions are the following:

As of December 31, 2024, using the same assumptions with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate and
+10% probability of achieving the held to maturity scenario would result in a change in the Heights convertible notes fair value by
respectively €+2 thousand, €+39 thousand, €-219 thousand and €-631 thousand.
As of June 30, 2025, using the same assumptions with an increase of +1% volatility, €+1 share price, +1% risk-free rate and +10%
probability of achieving the held to maturity scenario would result in a change in the Heights convertible notes fair value by
respectively €+6 thousand, €+42 thousand, €-152 thousand and €-237 thousand.
On the limit date for the drawdown of the second tranche of the Heights Financing (i.e. August 4, 2024), the Group had not drawn
down this tranche and has therefore forgone its right to do so in the future.
On July 23 and July 30, 2025, the noteholders requested the conversion of respectively 150 and 200 convertible notes (corresponding
to the entirety of the outstanding principal amount of approximately €21.9 million) into 920,377 new ordinary shares of the Group at a
conversion price of €23.7674 per ordinary share (see Note 3.3 "Conversion of the Heights convertible notes – July-August 2025").
Note 15.3. State guaranteed loan – “PGE”
The payment of the last installment of the PGE is scheduled in June 2026.
Note 15.4. Lease liabilities
The variations in lease liabilities are set forth below:

Lease liabilities mainly relate the Group’s former headquarters in Paris, the Boston office entered into in November 2023, the
Montpellier offices entered into in April 2024, the new Paris headquarters entered into in May 2024 and to a lesser extent to vehicles,
parking lots and printers (Note 8).
As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, the lease liabilities of the Paris headquarters and Boston offices represented 93% and
92.16% of the total lease liability, respectively.
Lease expenses related to contracts for which a lease liability and right of use asset is recognized under IFRS 16 were €309 thousand
and €428 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. They were recognized for (i) €405 thousand
and €362 thousand as Depreciation expenses and (ii) €25 thousand and €36 thousand as Interest expenses, for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Lease expenses related to short-term lease contracts and low value assets that are not included in the valuation of the lease liability
amount to €77 thousand, and €175 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Note 15.5. Royalty certificates
The royalty certificates are measured at amortized cost using the EIR method.
The fair value of the royalty certificates, calculated using the same model as their initial measurement, amounts to €7,313 thousand as
of December 31, 2024 and €9,417 thousand as of June 30, 2025.
The fair value of the royalty certificates is based on the net present value of royalties, which depends on assumptions made by the
Group with regards to the probability of success of its studies (“POS”), the commercialization budget of obefazimod (“peak
penetration”) and the Group's WACC. In addition, royalty projections have been adjusted to reflect any difference between the
Group’s value derived from management projections and the Group’s market capitalization.
As of December 31, 2024, using the same assumptions with an increase of +5 points of POS, +5% of peak penetration (best case
scenario), +1% WACC and €+1 share price would result in a change in the royalty certificates fair value by respectively €
+572 thousand, €+1,735 thousand, €-314 thousand and €+1,160 thousand. Using the same assumptions with a decrease of -5% points
of POS, -5% of peak penetration (worst case scenario) and -1% WACC and €-1 share price would result in a change in the royalty
certificates fair value by respectively €-572 thousand, €-2,527 thousand, €+332 thousand and €-1,160 thousand.
As of June 30, 2025, using the same assumptions with an increase of +5 points of POS, +5% of peak penetration (best case scenario),
+1% WACC and €+1 share price would result in a change in the royalty certificates fair value by respectively €+740 thousand, €
+2,201 thousand, €-395 thousand and €+1,326 thousand. Using the same assumptions with a decrease of -5% points of POS, -5% of
peak penetration (worst case scenario) and -1% WACC and €-1 share price would result in a change in the royalty certificates fair
value by respectively €-740 thousand, €-3,182 thousand, €+416 thousand and €-1,326 thousand.
