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 OFFERING

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.

Two other existing shareholders (including Dassault Group (SITAM Belgium) have indicated their 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:

  1. 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 22nd 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
  1. 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):

  1. 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
  2. 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.

PARTNERS IN THE FUNDRAISING

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.

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.
