INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K

Other Event

On September 18, 2023, PHAXIAM Therapeutics (the “Company”) expects to effect the previously announced reverse share split of the shares composing the Company’s share capital. The reverse share split involves the exchange of ten (10) existing shares with a par value of ten euro cents (€0.10) for one (1) new share with a par value of one euro (€1).

In connection with the reverse share split described above, The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”), depositary for the Company’s American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) program, will effect a reverse stock split on such ADR program with an effective date of September 18, 2023. Effective September 18, 2023, ADR holders of the Company will be required on a mandatory basis to surrender their old ADR(s) to BNY Mellon for cancellation and exchange to receive one (1) new American Depositary Share (“ADS”) (CUSIP: 29604W207) for every ten (10) old ADSs (CUSIP: 29604W108). Holders of ADSs in the Direct Registration System or in brokerage accounts will have their ADRs automatically exchanged and need not take any action. No fraction of an ADS will be issued. BNY Mellon will attempt to sell any fractions and distribute the cash proceeds to ADR holders.
