NANOBIOTIX Announces Closing of Global Offering

PARIS and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NANOBIOTIX (Euronext: NANO – NASDAQ: NBTX – “Nanobiotix” or the “Company”), a late-clinical stage biotechnology company pioneering physics-based approaches to expand treatment possibilities for patients with cancer, announces the closing today (the “Closing”) of its global follow-on offering reserved to specified categories of investors, including after partial exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional ordinary shares (the “Underwriters’ Option”) in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”).

The Closing consists of: (i) 3,786,907 ADS, each representing one ordinary share, €0.03 nominal value per share (each an “Ordinary Share”), of the Company, in the United States (the “U.S. Offering”), including 680,000 ADSs pursuant to the partial exercise of the Underwriters’ Option (the “Additional ADSs), in each case, at an offering price of $5.36 per ADS, and (ii) 2,492,223 Ordinary Shares, exclusively sold to “qualified investors” in Europe (including France) within the meaning of Article 2(e) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended (the “Prospectus Regulation”) and certain other countries (excluding the United States and Canada) (the “European Offering”) at an offering price of €5.07 per Ordinary Share. The U.S. Offering and the European Offering are referred to, together, as the “Global Offering”.

As previously announced, pursuant to an existing securities purchase agreement, Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JJDC, Inc. (“JJDC”) was obligated to subscribe, subject to any required regulatory approvals, for $25.0 million of the Company’s restricted ADSs (the “Placement Amount”), at a price per ADS equal to the $5.36 per ADS offering price in the U.S. Offering in a concurrent private placement (the “Concurrent Private Placement”), exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to French foreign investment control rules, the Placement Amount as initially agreed was reduced, such that JJDC has initially subscribed for 3,762,923 restricted ADSs (representing, together with JJDC’s existing stake, 9.99% of the outstanding voting rights of the Company’s capital stock (the “Regulatory Cap”), prior to the exercise of the Underwriters’ Option) for gross proceeds to the Company of $20.2 million. Upon, and subject to, the approval of the French Ministry of Economy, JJDC will subscribe for 901,256 additional restricted ADSs (corresponding to the portion of the Placement Amount in excess of the Regulatory Cap) (the “Remaining Placement Amount”) for $4.8 million. The closing in respect of the initial 3,762,923 restricted ADSs in the Concurrent Private Placement is expected to occur on November 9, 2023.

Taking into account (i) the €31.8 million gross proceeds of the Global Offering, including in respect of the Option, and (ii) the gross proceeds in respect of the initial 3,762,923 restricted ADSs to be purchased by JJDC in the Concurrent Private Placement, the Company will receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately €50.9 million (equivalent to approximately $53.8 million, based on an exchange rate of €1.00 = $1.0568, as published by Bloomberg on November 1, 2023), before deduction of underwriting commissions in respect of the Global Offering and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. Following the approval of the French Ministry of Economy and the subscription by JJDC for the Remaining Placement Amount, the aggregate gross proceeds would increase to approximately €55.5 million (equivalent to approximately $58.7 million).

The Company believes that the net proceeds from the Global Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement, together with its cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for operations into the first quarter 2025 and, assuming the receipt from Janssen Pharmaceutica NV (“Janssen”) of the first milestone payment under the Company's License Agreement with Janssen dated July 7, 2023, into the second quarter 2025.

Jefferies LLC, Leerink Partners and Guggenheim Securities acted as global coordinators and joint bookrunners for the Global Offering.

The ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “NBTX” and the Company’s Ordinary Shares are listed on Euronext Paris under the symbol “NANO”.

The ADSs (including the Additional ADSs) and Ordinary Shares offered in the Global Offering were offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-262545), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 4, 2022 and subsequently declared effective on February 16, 2022. The Global Offering was made only by means of a prospectus and prospectus supplement that form a part of the registration statement. A final prospectus supplement relating to and describing the terms of the Global Offering has been filed with the SEC on November 6, 2023 and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The final prospectus supplement relating to the Global Offering (and accompanying prospectus) relating to the Global Offering may be obtained from Jefferies LLC, Attention: Equity Syndicate Prospectus Department, 520 Madison Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10022, or by telephone at (877) 821-7388 or by email at Prospectus_Department@Jefferies.com; from Leerink Partners LLC, Attention: Syndicate Department, 53 State Street, 40th Floor, Boston, MA 02109, or by telephone at (800) 808-7525 ext. 6105, or by email at syndicate@leerink.com; or from Guggenheim Securities, Attention: Equity Syndicate Department, 330 Madison Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10017, by telephone at (212) 518-9544, or by email at GSEquityProspectusDelivery@guggenheimpartners.com.
