Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Biophytis S.A. has amended its bond financing agreement with Hexagon Capital Fund, increasing the maximum nominal amount from €1,000,000 to €2,000,000 and extending the subscription period to December 31, 2027. This additional capacity is intended to strengthen its financial structure and extend its cash runway by four months.

As of February 26, 2026, Biophytis has drawn €650,000 and retains a bond drawing capacity of €1,350,000. Each bond bears 12% interest and is repaid in cash on a bi‑monthly schedule over twenty‑four months. In an event of default, the debt may be repaid in shares at €0.05654 per share, with an illustrative example showing that repaying €1,350,000 in shares (23,876,901 shares) would reduce a shareholder’s stake from 1.00% to 0.72% based on 60,693,791 shares outstanding as of February 25, 2026.

Insights

Biophytis doubles its bond facility, trading higher-cost debt for added liquidity flexibility.

Biophytis has expanded its bond facility with Hexagon Capital Fund from €1,000,000 to €2,000,000 and extended access to December 31, 2027. Management states this should extend the company’s cash runway by four months, which can be important for funding clinical milestones in obesity and sarcopenia.

The bonds carry a relatively high coupon of 12% and are repaid in cash on a bi‑monthly schedule over twenty‑four months, so servicing this debt adds a meaningful fixed charge. In a default scenario, repayment in shares at €0.05654 per share could dilute holders, with the example provided showing a move from 1.00% to 0.72% ownership.

Actual impact depends on how much of the remaining €1,350,000 capacity Biophytis chooses to draw and whether it remains current on cash repayments. Future disclosures around trial progress for BIO101 and subsequent funding decisions in later company reports will help clarify how this facility supports the clinical pipeline.

Biophytis increases to €2 million the ceiling of its bond facility with Hexagon Capital Fund

 

Paris (France) and Cambridge (Massachusetts, USA), February 27, 2026 – Biophytis SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS), (“the Company”), a pioneering company in the development of transformative therapies impacting longevity, announces several amendments to its bond financing initially announced on August 5, 2025, in mutual agreement with Hexagon Capital Fund.

 

The maximum nominal financing amount is increased from €1,000,000 to €2,000,000, and the subscription period for the bonds is extended from July 31, 2026, to December 31, 2027. This additional financing capacity provides Biophytis with the necessary resources to strengthen its financial structure and, more broadly, extend its cash runway by four months.

 

As of February 26, 2026, Biophytis thus has a drawing capacity of €1,350,000 in bonds, with the company having already used €650,000 in bonds since the agreement was put in place. Any future drawdowns will be made at Biophytis' sole discretion, depending on its financing needs and within the authorised limit.

 

Each bond issue bears interest at 12% and is redeemable in cash on a bi-monthly basis, according to a schedule spread over a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issue. Furthermore, in the event of default, the debt may be repaid in whole or in part in shares, based on a fixed price of €0.05654 per share, representing a premium of 110% over the closing price on February 24, 2026 (see impact table below).

 

Stanislas Veillet, Chief Executive Officer of Biophytis, said: “We are delighted with the increase in our financing line with Hexagon Capital Fund, which demonstrates the confidence our financial partners have in our strategy. This transaction, carried out under favourable conditions, strengthens our financial visibility and allows us to approach the next key stages of our clinical development in obesity and sarcopenia with confidence.”

 

Jean-Philippe Cridlig, Director of Hexagon Advisor, said: "Our commitment to Biophytis reflects our renewed confidence in the company and its management team to deliver on its ambitious clinical development programmes. Biophytis has a promising pipeline, driven by differentiated assets in indications with high unmet medical needs such as obesity and sarcopenia. We are pleased to support the company in its development phase and remain confident in its ability to create value for all its stakeholders."
