MaaT Pharma Secures €37.5 Million Loan From European Investment Bank (EIB) Marking a New Step in Advancing its Clinical Program in Hemato-Oncology
LYON, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: We are grateful for the confidence shown in MaaT Pharma and the support from the EIB, which is a further foundation towards the next phase of MaaT Pharma's growth on bringing the potential first microbiome-based therapy to market in Europe. MaaT Pharma (EURONEXT: MAAT – the 'Company'), a clinical-stage biotechnology company and a leader in the development of Microbiome Ecosystem Therapies™ (MET) dedicated to enhancing survival for patients with cancer through immune modulation, today announced that it has secured a €37.5 million, 4-tranche financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB). The financing will support the advancement of its late-stage hemato-oncology clinical programs including the lead-asset Xervyteg ®, recently partnered with Clinigen in Europe, and currently under regulatory review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGvHD) and the second drug candidate, MaaT033, currently being evaluated in a Phase 2b randomized controlled trial in improving survival for patients receiving allogeneic stem cell transplants. With robust cGMP manufacturing, proprietary therapies, and a development platform, MaaT Pharma is a global leader in microbiome-based oncology, pioneering full-ecosystem therapies to improve survival in oncology. Since completing enrollment in the ARES trial for Xervyteg ® (MaaT013) in October 2024, MaaT Pharma has steadily advanced its roadmap, reporting topline results in January 2025, submitting the Marketing Authorization Application with the European Medicines Agency in June 2025, and signing an exclusive agreement for marketing and distribution in Europe with Clinigen in July 2025. The €37.5 million financing from the EIB follows a rigorous due diligence process by the EIB and further confirms MaaT Pharma's innovation, strategic vision and operational maturity. This funding is part of a global financial strategy to support the Company's development that combines various non-dilutive and dilutive sources to best preserve shareholder value. Eric Soyer, Chief Financial Officer, MaaT Pharma, said: 'We are grateful for the confidence shown in MaaT Pharma and the support from the EIB, which is a further foundation towards the next phase of MaaT Pharma's growth on bringing the potential first microbiome-based therapy to market in Europe. Each operational and financing step strengthens our track record. Following the regulatory submission to the EMA for Xervyteg ® (MaaT013) and our recent partnership with Clinigen for its commercialization, the EIB financing represents another step in reinforcing the Company's financial position. As previously announced, MaaT Pharma intends to fund its plans and development programs while preserving shareholder value in the best manner possible with a mix of non-dilutive and dilutive financial sources, and the recent announcements of both partnership financing with the Clinigen agreement and debt financing with the EIB agreement, are benchmarks to reflect that strategy.' Summary of the main terms and conditions of the Loan and Warrants The loan would be available in four (4) tranches, respectively of €3.5 million for Tranche A, €6.0 million for Tranche B, €8.0 million for Tranche C, and €20.0 million for Tranche D, each tranche with Warrants attached. Disbursement of Tranches 2 to 4 are subject to operational and financing conditions.

Each tranche will bear interests at 7%, it being provided that some interests will be deferred and paid at maturity and for Tranche C and Tranche D part of the interest will be paid quarterly. MaaT Pharma will issue warrants to the benefit of EIB at the time of (and subject to) disbursement of each tranche in a number depending, for each relevant tranche, on the amount of the relevant tranche and the average price per share paid by investors in the context of equity injection made prior to disbursement of the relevant tranche (except for tranche A where the average price per share over the last trading days preceding the date of execution of the financing agreement). Each warrant will give right to subscribe to one share at a price per warrant equal to 99% of the average price over a period of 5 trading days preceding the issuance of each Warrant. The Warrants may be exercised at any time following maturity of Tranche A. The Warrants will have a 20-year term. EIB and MaaT Pharma have also agreed on (i) a put option to the benefit of EIB under which MaaT Pharma undertook to acquire from EIB all or part of the Warrants upon occurrence of certain events and (ii) a call option to the benefit of MaaT Pharma under which EIB undertook to sell all its Warrants, upon occurrence of a public tender offer over the securities issued by MaaT Pharma. The Warrants are not transferable, except to affiliates of EIB or except in case of occurrence of certain events (including maturity date of Tranche D). In case of transfer of Warrants to third party, MaaT Pharma shall benefit from a preemptive right to acquire the Warrants first. MaaT Pharma was assisted in this transaction by Mr. Eric Briole and by Van Lanschot Kempen as Financial Advisors and McDermott Will & Emery as Legal Advisor.

Advicenne Receives Marketing Authorization and Reimbursement for Sibnayal® in Saudi Arabia
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Advicenne (Euronext Growth® - FR0013296746 - ALDVI), a pharmaceutical company specializing in the development and marketing of innovative treatments for people suffering from rare kidney diseases, obtains marketing authorization (MA) and reimbursement status for Sibnayal® (a fixed combination of potassium citrate and potassium bicarbonate) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Marketing authorization for Sibnayal® (ADV7103) in distal Renal Tubular Acidosis (dRTA) in KSA has been granted, based on the European registration dossier.

Sibnayal® is already prescribed through early access programs in several Gulf countries outside Saudi Arabia. This milestone paves the way for registrations in GCC countries where the application is filed. Didier Laurens, CEO of Advicenne, declared: 'I am particularly proud of this important achievement and wish to congratulate both Advicenne and Taïba Healthcare teams, whose efforts were instrumental in informing and convincing the Saudi health authorities. The reimbursement obtained, comparable to the highest levels recorded in Europe, further attests to the significant therapeutic value of Sibnayal® in a region with one of the highest prevalence rates of dRTA worldwide.'
