Biophytis announces ratio change under its American
Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) program

Paris (France) and Cambridge (Massachusetts, USA), April 19, 2024 – 07:00am CET – Biophytis SA
(Nasdaq CM : BPTS, Euronext Growth Paris : ALBPS), ("Biophytis" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage
biotechnology company specialized in the development of therapeutics for age-related diseases, today
annouces that it will change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) to Biophytis
ordinary shares (the “Shares”) from one ADS representing 100 Shares, to one ADS representing 4,000
Shares (the “Ratio Change”). The effective date of the Ratio Change (the “Effective Date”) is expected
to be April 23, 2024.

Pursuant to the Ratio Change, as of the Effective Date, record holders who directly hold ADRs will be
required to exchange their existing ADRs for new ADRs on the basis of one new ADR for every 40 existing
ADRs surrendered. The Depositary will contact ADR holders and arrange for the exchange of their
existing ADRs for new ADRs. ADS beneficial holders who hold through an ADR holder intermediary need
not take any action in connection with the Ratio Change. For ADS holders, the Ratio Change will have
the same effect as a one-for-forty reverse ADS split. The ADSs will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq
Capital Market under the symbol “BPTS”.

No new Shares will be issued in connection with the Ratio Change and this Ratio Change does not change
the total number of Biophytis ordinary shares.

As a result of the Ratio Change, the trading price of the Company’s ADSs is expected to automatically
increase proportionally, but the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price following
the Ratio Change will be at least equal to the ADS trading price before the Ratio Change multiplied by
the new 40:1 ratio.
