PRESS RELEASE




Transgene launches a fundraising
of approximately 105 million euros

• Fundraising consisting of a reserved offering to international institutional
investors via a Private Placement through an accelerated book building, and
a public offering, intended for retail investors via the PrimaryBid platform

• Institut Mérieux (TSGH) to participate for a minimum amount of €70 million
and intention of two other existing shareholders including Dassault Group
(SITAM Belgium) to participate for an amount of €10 million in the Private
Placement

• Concurrent capital increase of approximately €39.4 million reserved for
TSGH and subscribed through debt offset , at the same price

• End of the Private Placement and of the PrimaryBid Offering on
26 November 2025, after market closing, subject to early closing

• Trading suspension of Transgene shares during the whole trading day on
26 November 2025, pending closing of the Private Placement and the
PrimaryBid Offering and publication of their results

• The funds raised will enable the acceleration of the development of the
myvac® program, Transgene's platform for individualized therapeutic
cancer vaccines, and extend its financial visibility until early 2028


Strasbourg, France, 25 November 2025, 7:00 p.m. CET – Transgene (Euronext Paris: TNG), a biotechnology
company that designs and develops viral vector-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer (the
“Company”), today announces the launch of a fundraising for approximately 105 million euros (the
“Fundraising”) through the issuance of new shares to specialized investors via private placement through an
accelerated book building and to retail investors via the PrimaryBid platform.

Concurrently, the Company will carry out a capital increase reserved for TSGH in the amount of approximately
€39.4 million by way of compensation for the amounts advanced (including interest) to date by TSGH under
the current account advance agreement (the "Reserved Capital Increase"), at the same price per share as
the Private Placement and the PrimaryBid Offering.

“Transgene is entering a decisive phase for its myvac® platform: the latest data from its individualized cancer
vaccine TG4050 demonstrated proof of principle for this immunotherapy in patients with operable head and
neck cancer (HNSCC)," said Alessandro Riva, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Transgene. “Thanks to
the funds raised, we will be able to further accelerate the development of the myvac® program, which includes

the conduct of the ongoing Phase 1/2 study in head and neck cancer, the launch of a Phase 1 trial in a new
indication with the tumors characteristics significantly differing from those found in head and neck cancers,
manufacturing optimization, and the work required to prepare a potential pivotal trial. Important data will
be reported in 2026 and 2027 in HNSCC, both in the Phase 1 and Phase 2 parts, while Transgene advances
toward the potential start of a Phase 3 trial in this indication.
With this fundraising, we can move forward to achieve our ambition: to develop next-generation
individualized therapeutic vaccines designed to address the needs of patients with early-stage cancers living
with a high risk of relapse.”

FUNDRAISING: PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND PRIMARYBID OFFER ING

Use of the net proceeds from the Fundraising

The Company intends to use the maximum net proceeds from the Fundraising of approximately
103 million euros, for the following purposes (in decreasing order of strategic priority):
• up to c.70% to finance the acceleration of the myvac® program, including the conduct of
the ongoing Phase 2 trial in head and neck cancer, the launch of a Phase 1 trial in a new
indication, the optimization of manufacturing and initial work to prepare the Company
to launch a pivotal trial in head and neck cancer;
• up to c.20% to finance R&D current costs principally related to supporting the
acceleration of the myvac® program, as well as the completion of clinical trials not
related to the myvac® platform;
• the remainder to finance, together with the Company’s operating revenues, general and
administrative expenses, as well as recurring cash consumption of the Company.
The Company estimates that, in this scenario, the net proceeds from the Fundraising, combined
with its existing cash, will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for its activities until
early 2028.
To date and prior to the Fundraising, the Company has €11.1 million in cash and a drawing capacity
of €8.7 million on the Current Account Advance (€39.4 million drawn down, interest included, out
of an available total of €48 million, following a partial repayment of the Current Account Advance
in the amount of €8.1 million that took place after 30 September 2025).1
As presented in its 2025 half-year financial report, and prior to completion of the Fundraising, the
Company was financed until the end of December 2026 thanks to the Current Account Advance and
a letter of support from TSGH. Following the completion of the Reserved Capital Increase, the
Current Account Advance Agreement will be terminated, and given the new early 2028 cash horizon
(if the Fundraising takes place for the contemplated amount), the letter of support of TSGH will
become moot.
Subscription commitment

As part of the Private Placement, TSGH has irrevocably committed to subscribe for at least €70
million. This order will be placed "at any price" and may be reduced in the event of strong demand
from other investors.

intention to participate for an amount of €10 million to the Private Placement.
Expected key milestones

During this period, and subject to the completion of the Fundraising, the following milestones for
the myvac® platform are expected to occur:

• Part 1 of the Phase 1/2 trial in head and neck cancers:
− Q2/Q3 2026: 3-year follow-up (disease-free survival),
− Q2/Q3 2027: 4-year follow-up (disease-free survival),

• Phase 2 part of the Phase 1/2 trial in head and neck cancers:
− Q1 2026: end of randomisation,
− H2 2026: initial immunogenicity data,
− Q4 2027/Q1 2028: efficacy data, two-year disease-free survival,

• Phase 1 trial in a new indication:
− Launch as soon as all conditions are met, including its financing through the current
fundraising,

• Preparation for late-stage and pivotal trials (GMP manufacturing, alignment with FDA and
EMA): end 2027.


Terms of the Fundraising

The Fundraising will be carried out in two separate and concurrent components under the same
pricing conditions:
a) an offering without shareholders' preferential subscription rights to the benefit of qualified
investors or a restricted circle of investors within the meaning of Article L. 411-2 1° of the
French Monetary and Financial Code, meeting the characteristics set out in the 22 nd
resolution of the Company's ordinary and extraordinary annual general meeting of
shareholders held on 15 May 2025 (the "General Meeting") (the "Private Placement"), and

b) a public offering, without shareholders' preferential subscription rights, to retail investors
via the PrimaryBid platform, in France and in certain European Union countries (where it is
technically feasible), in accordance with the 20th resolution of the General Meeting (the
"PrimaryBid Offering").

The launch of the Fundraising was decided today by the Chief Executive Officer, acting upon sub-
delegation granted by the Company's Board of Directors on 24 November 2025 acting pursuant to
the delegation granted by the General Meeting the above-mentioned resolutions.
The Private Placement will be directed to (i) qualified investors within the meaning of Article 2(e) of
Regulation 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017, as amended
(the "Prospectus Regulation") or in other circumstances falling within the scope of Article 1(4) of

the Prospectus Regulation in the European Union (including France) and outside the European
Union, with the exception of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, South Africa
and Japan, and (ii) to certain institutional investors in the United States.
The amount of the Fundraising will depend exclusively on the orders received for each of the above-
mentioned components, with no possibility of reallocating the amounts committed to the Private
Placement and to the PrimaryBid Offering. The PrimaryBid Offering to retail investors is incidental
to the Private Placement and may not exceed 20% of the total amount of the Fundraising.
Allocations will be proportional to demand, limited to the amount allocated to this public offering,
and reduced if demand exceeds this limit. In any event, the PrimaryBid Offering will not be carried
out if the Private Placement does not take place. The Private Placement is not conditional on the
PrimaryBid Offering.
The Fundraising is subject, among others, to market conditions and the final total amount of the
Fundraising is subject to change. The Private Placement will be carried out through an accelerated
book-building process, at the end of which the number and price of the new shares to be issued will
be decided by the Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to and within the limits of the powers delegated
by the Board of Directors and the General Meeting.
The settlement and delivery of the new ordinary shares to be issued in the Fundraising and the
Reserved Capital Increase and their admission to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris
are scheduled for December 2, 2025. Société Générale Securities Services will issue the depositary
certificate for the shares issued as part of the Private Placement and the PrimaryBid Offer.
The new ordinary shares issued as part of the Fundraising (and the Reserved Capital Increase) will
be of the same class and fungible with the existing shares, will enjoy all the rights attached to the
existing shares, and will be admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris under the
same ISIN FR0005175080.
Subscription price
The subscription price for the new shares issued in the Private Placement and the PrimaryBid
Offering is not known at the date of this press release.
It will be set in accordance with the minimum price formula provided for in the aforementioned
resolutions of the General Meeting of May 15, 2025, namely, at the discretion of the Chief Executive
Officer (acting upon delegation of the Board of Directors):
a) the volume-weighted average (in the central order book and excluding off-market blocks) of
the closing prices of the Company's shares on Euronext Paris, chosen from a period
comprising between five and thirty consecutive trading days among the last thirty trading
days preceding the setting of the issue price, or
b) the last closing price of the Company's shares on Euronext Paris prior to the setting of the
subscription price,
this average or closing price may be reduced by a maximum discount of 25%.
Furthermore, the subscription price will not exceed the closing price of the Company's shares on
Euronext Paris on 25 November 2025, i.e., 1.36 euro (the "Maximum Price").
The Reserved Capital Increase will be carried out at the same price as that set in the Private
Placement and the PrimaryBid Offer.

the publication of this press release and is expected to close on 26 November 2025, subject to early

Dilution Information
For information purposes only, the Company has calculated the dilution and ownership percentages
below based on the Maximum Price indicated above, a maximum combined gross proceeds from
the Private Placement and the PrimaryBid Offer of €105 million, and gross proceeds from the
Reserved Capital Increase of approximately €39.4 million.
Readers should note that the final dilution and participation calculations, once the price and size
of the Fundraising and the Reserved Capital Increase are known, will necessarily be different. In
particular, the price of the Fundraising and the Reserved Capital Increase will be lower than the
Maximum Price, which will result in greater dilution for the same gross amount.

Company's consolidated equity per share and (ii) the shareholding of a shareholder holding 1.00%
of the Company's share capital prior to the Fundraising and the Reserved Capital Increase and not

RISK FACTORS
The public's attention is drawn to the risk factors relating to the Company and its activities, as set out
in Section 2 "Risk Factors" of the 2024 Universal Registration Document filed with the AMF on April
10, 2025 under number D.25-0243, as updated below, which is available free of charge on the
Company's website ( https://www.transgene.fr ) and on the AMF website ( www.amf-france.org ).
The occurrence of all or part of these risks is likely to have an adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial position, results, development, or prospects.

8 / 12
This press release may not be distributed directly or indirectly in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia or Japan.



Without changing the classification of risk factor 2.2.1.2 "Dependence on partners" (probability of
occurrence "medium" and potential impact "critical"), the Company indicates that it is currently in
negotiations with its partner NEC to amend their collaboration agreement (described in paragraph
1.2.3 of the Universal Registration Document). If these negotiations are unsuccessful, this could have
an impact on the development of the myvac® program in the head and neck indication, and in
particular on the development timeframe. Similarly, without changing the classification of risk factor
2.2.5.1 "Need for a specific industrial tool that is difficult to scale up industrially, both internally and
externally" (low probability of occurrence and critical potential impact) and that of risk factor 2.2.5.3
"Dependence on subcontractors" (probability of occurrence "medium" and potential impact
"critical"), the Company is also in negotiations with a manufacturer for, (i) on the one hand and for
the immediate future, the manufacture of its clinical batches on cell lines, and (ii) on the other hand,
for a technology transfer from this manufacturer to the Company to enable it to eventually carry out
cell line production itself. If these negotiations are unsuccessful, the Company's ability to change
subcontractors within a reasonable time frame would be limited, and the Company would experience
significant delays in the development of its cell line-based drug candidates.

Finally, investors are invited to consider the following risks: (i) the market price of the Company's
shares may fluctuate and fall below the price of the Fundraising and the Reserved Capital Increase, (ii)
the volatility and liquidity of the Company's shares may fluctuate significantly, (iii) sales of the
Company's shares may occur on the market and have a negative impact on the market price of the
shares, and (iv) the Company's shareholders could suffer potentially significant dilution as a result of
any future capital increases necessary to finance the Company. In this context, the Company reiterates
the following risk factors from the Universal Registration Document: 2.2.2.1 "Possible exhaustion of
available funds," 2.2.2.2 "Expected increase in capital requirements," 2.2.2.3 "Uncertain realization of
revenue from partnerships," 2.2.2.4 "Possible adverse effect of financing efforts on existing
shareholders" and 2.2.2.5 "Increased liquidity and partnership structures."

In any event, it is recommended that you consult Section 2 "Risk Factors" of the Universal Registration
Document for a detailed description of these risks. The Universal Registration Document is available
free of charge on the Company's website at www.transgene.fr. The Company also notes that other
risks or uncertainties, unknown at the date of the Information Document or not considered significant
by the Company at that date, may exist or could become significant factors that could have a material
adverse effect on the Company, its business, financial condition, results of operations, development,
or prospects.

MIFID

MIFID II Product Governance/Target Market: solely for the purposes of the requirements of article 9.8 of the EU Delegated Directive
2017/593 relating to the product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the shares of Transgene has led to
the conclusion in relation to the type of clients criteria only that: (i) the type of clients to whom the shares are targeted is eligible
counterparties and professional clients and retail clients, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); and (ii)
all channels for distribution of the shares of Transgene to eligible counterparties and professional clients and retail clients are
appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the shares of Transgene (a “distributor”) should take into
consideration the type of client assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of the shares of Transgene and determining appropriate distribution channels.
