Oxurion Share Consolidation

Leuven, BELGIUM – July 25, 2024 – 06:00 PM CET Oxurion NV (Euronext Brussels: OXUR) (the Company), a biopharmaceutical company based in Leuven, announced today that its Board of Directors, authorized by the General Meeting of July 24, 2024, will proceed with a consolidation of all existing shares. This consolidation will be carried out at a ratio of one (1) new share for ten thousand (10,000) existing shares.

This share consolidation is a strategic step to increase the nominal value of the shares, simplify the capital structure, and improve the liquidity of shares in the market. Oxurion is enthusiastic about this new phase, which aligns with its long-term growth strategy and sustainable value creation for its shareholders. This initiative reflects its commitment to an optimal financial structure and its confidence in the solidity and future potential of Oxurion.

Anticipated benefits of the consolidation:

• Improved market perception: A higher nominal value can contribute to an enhanced perception of the shares by the market.
  • Reduced volatility: Shares with a higher nominal value tend to be less volatile, thus stabilizing the Company’s market presence.
  • Transaction optimization: Simplifies transactions and management of shares for investors and analysts.
    
    

Details of the consolidation:

• Consolidation ratio: 1 new share for 10,000 existing shares.
  • Number of shares subject to consolidation: 13,362,647,372 shares.
  • ISIN code of old non-consolidated shares: BE0003846632.
  • Number of shares resulting from the consolidation: 1,336,265 shares.
  • ISIN code of new consolidated shares: BE0974487192
• Operation schedule:

All operations related to the consolidation will take place at Euronext Brussels.

Treatment of multiples of 10,000: Shareholders holding a number of old shares forming a multiple of 10,000 have no steps or formalities to complete. These shares will be automatically consolidated by their financial intermediary at a ratio of one (1) new share for ten thousand (10,000) old shares.

Management of Fractional Shares: Shareholders who do not hold a number of old shares forming a multiple of 10,000 can buy or sell shares on the market to obtain this multiple between July 26, 2024, and August 30, 2024 (included).

At the end of this period, Financière d'Uzès, acting as the centralizing agent (see below), will handle the sale of new shares formed by the fractional shares on the market to compensate shareholders who do not hold a number of shares forming a multiple of 10,000 after August 30, 2024. The funds thus collected, minus any fees, will be paid to the relevant financial intermediaries.

These intermediaries will distribute the amount received among the concerned shareholders based on the number of old shares previously held no later than September 30, 2024, provided that the net proceeds to be received by a shareholder for their position with a financial intermediary is at least equivalent to 0.01 EUR.

Shareholders who do not have the required amount to obtain new shares and whose fractional share amount is less than 0.01 EUR (which is quite likely for a number of shareholders given the current share price of the Company of 0.0001 EUR) will not receive either shares or fractional shares in cash.

Example: A shareholder holding 10,500 old shares on August 30, 2024, will receive one new share on September 5, 2024, and the balance, i.e., 500 shares, will be consolidated with other old shares to form a new share which will be sold on the market.

The net proceeds from the sale of all these shares will be paid to the various financial intermediaries concerned, who will distribute the received portion among the different shareholders, provided that the net proceeds to be received by the concerned shareholder from a financial intermediary is at least equivalent to 0.01 EUR.

Delisting: Non-consolidated shares at the end of the consolidation period will be delisted.

Centralization: All operations related to the share consolidation will take place at Financière d’Uzès, 13 rue d’Uzès, Paris 75002, France, designated as the agent for the centralization of consolidation operations.
