Principal financing and debt reduction transactions during the period
During the period, Sanofi carried out a bond issue of €2.3 billion in three tranches:
€1,000 million of fixed-rate bonds maturing May 2029, with annual coupons and bearing interest at an annual rate of 3.000%;
€650 million of fixed-rate bonds maturing May 2033, with annual coupons and bearing interest at an annual rate of 3.375%; and
€650 million of fixed-rate bonds maturing May 2037, with annual coupons and bearing interest at an annual rate of 3.750%.

One bond issue was redeemed during the period: a €1.5 billion issue from March 2018, redeemed at maturity on March 21, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, Sanofi had two syndicated credit facilities linked to social and environmental criteria in place to manage its liquidity in connection with current operations:
a syndicated credit facility of €4 billion, drawable in euros and US dollars and expiring on March 6, 2030, for which no further extension options are available; and
a syndicated credit facility of €3.85 billion, drawable in euros and US dollars and expiring on April 23, 2031, for which two one-year extension options are available. This facility became effective on April 23, 2026, and replaced an existing €4 billion facility that was cancelled on the same date and had originally been scheduled to mature on December 6, 2027.

As of June 30, 2026, neither facility was drawn down.
Sanofi also has two short-term debt programs:
a €6 billion Negotiable European Commercial Paper program in France; and
a $10 billion Commercial Paper program in the United States.

During the first half of 2026:
the average drawdown under the US Commercial Paper program was $3.0 billion; and
the average drawdown under the Negotiable European Commercial Paper program in France was €0.1 billion.

The financing in place as of June 30, 2026 at the level of the holding company (which manages most of Sanofi’s financing needs centrally) is not subject to any financial covenants, and contains no clauses linking credit spreads or fees to the credit rating.
