•Patients with R/R Follicular Lymphoma will be included in the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial investigating IPH6501 in patients with R/R CD20+ Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA) (“Innate” or the “Company”), together with the Institute for Follicular Lymphoma (IFLI) today announced that they have entered into an agreement to clinically study the potential of IPH6501, Innate's anti-CD20 ANKET® in follicular lymphoma (FL).

To support the Phase 1/2 trial and inclusion of FL patients, IFLI will initially invest 3m USD into new shares of Innate, issued through a capital increase reserved to IFLI at a price of €1.56 per share and representing 2.26% of the share capital of Innate.
IFLI may also invest up to an additional 4.9m USD into new shares of Innate, depending on the completion of certain milestones, at a price to be determined at the time of the said investments.
“At Innate Pharma, we are deeply committed to advancing innovative research and development to improve outcomes for patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and this agreement with the Institute for Follicular Lymphoma Innovation will contribute to our mission to bring forward therapeutic options that address critical needs and enhance the quality of life for those affected by this challenging disease,” said Dr Sonia Quaratino, Chief Medical Officer of Innate Pharma.

Reserved Capital Increase
The capital increase reserved to the Institute for Follicular Lymphoma Innovation (IFLI) (the "Reserved Capital Increase") is effected pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the delegation granted in the 22nd resolution of the combined general meeting of shareholders (assemblée générale mixte des actionnaires) held on 23 May 2024, following the approval of the supervisory board (conseil de surveillance) dated 11 September 2024. It will result in the issue of 1 832 899 new ordinary shares of Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA) ("Innate" or the "Company") (the "New Shares"), fungible with Innate's ordinary shares, and which will be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris on the same listing line as the existing ordinary shares. The New Shares represent less than 20% of the total number of the Innate's ordinary shares already admitted to trading on Euronext Paris. The admission to trading of the New Shares on Euronext Paris is therefore exempted from the obligation to prepare a prospectus.
The New Shares will be issued on December 9th, 2024 at a price of €1.56 per new share (i.e. €0.05 par value and €1.51 issue premium), corresponding to the arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted averages (in the central order book and excluding off-market block trades) of the Issuer's share price on Euronext Paris over the last full thirty trading days prior to the setting of the issue price.
IFLI entered into a lock-up undertaking with Innate lasting until termination or expiry of the agreement entered between Innate and IFLI to explore the potential of IPH6501, its anti-CD20 ANKET® in Follicular Lymphoma.
Following the Reserved Capital Increase, the number of shares constituting the share capital of Innate will be the following:
Total number of shares outstanding: 82,802,256 ordinary shares
6,494 Preferred Shares 2016
7,581 Preferred Shares 2017
Total number of theoretical voting rights (1): 82,802,256
Total number of exercisable voting rights (2): 82,783,681
(1) The total number of theoretical voting rights (or “gross” voting rights) is used as the basis for calculating the crossing of shareholding thresholds. In accordance with Article 223-11 of the AMF General Regulation, this number is calculated on the basis of all shares to which voting rights are attached, including shares whose voting rights have been suspended. The total number of theoretical voting rights includes voting rights attached to AGAP 2016, i.e. 130 voting rights for the AGAP 2016-1 and 111 voting rights for the AGAP 2016-2. No voting rights attached to AGAP 2017.
The total number of theoretical voting rights (or “gross” voting rights) is used as the basis for calculating the crossing of shareholding thresholds. In accordance with Article 223-11 of the AMF General Regulation, this number is calculated on the basis of all shares to which voting rights are attached, including shares whose voting rights have been suspended. The total number of theoretical voting rights includes voting rights attached to AGAP 2016, i.e. 130 voting rights for the AGAP 2016-1 and 111 voting rights for the AGAP 2016-2. No voting rights attached to AGAP 2017.
(2) The total number of exercisable voting rights (or “net” voting rights) is calculated without taking into account the shares held in treasury by the Company, with suspended voting rights. It is released so as to ensure that the market is adequately informed, in accordance with the recommendation made by the AMF on July 17, 2007.
Innate's other shareholders will therefore suffer capital dilution as a result of the issue of the New Shares (thus, a shareholder holding 1% of the capital before the Reserved Capital Increase would hold 0.98% of the capital after its completion).
