Demonstrated track record of success instrumental in preparing for potential Viaskin Peanut launch in 2019

DBV Technologies (Euronext: DBV - ISIN: FR0010417345 - Nasdaq Stock Market: DBVT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced the appointment of Kevin Trapp as Chief Commercial Officer. As part of the Company's ongoing transformation into a commercial organization, Kevin joins DBV after 27 years of driving portfolio growth through building leading brands at Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), a global biopharmaceutical company. Kevin will be responsible for all worldwide commercial functions at DBV, including the potential launch of the Company's lead product candidate, Viaskin Peanut, in 2019. He will report to Charles Ruban, Chief Operating Officer, and serve as a member of the Company's Executive Committee, led by David Schilansky, Deputy Chief Executive Officer.

Charles Ruban said, "We are thrilled to welcome Kevin to DBV during this key period for the Company, with the potential approval of Viaskin Peanut next year. Kevin's leadership record at BMS and his vast experience in launching new medicines will be instrumental as we prepare to offer new treatments to patients suffering from unmet medical needs."

Over the last 18 months, Kevin has served as an advisor to DBV. Prior to joining the Company, Kevin held positions of increasing responsibility in the areas of finance, sales, marketing and general management at BMS, most recently having served as Senior Vice President, Portfolio & Access Strategy. Earlier in his career at BMS, he was responsible for a $4 billion U.S. portfolio across specialty and primary care in the areas of immunology, neuroscience and virology. While at BMS he was directly involved in launching over 10 products and indications on leading brands such as Abilify®, Atripla®, Reyataz®, Orencia® and Daklinza®. Kevin earned a bachelor's degree from The University of Connecticut School of Business and completed the General Management Program from The European Centre for Executive Development (CEDEP) at INSEAD.

"I believe the novel and patient-centric profile of the Viaskin platform, including lead candidate Viaskin Peanut, positions DBV to transform the care of patients suffering from food allergies and other immunological diseases," said Kevin Trapp. "This is an important time for the food allergic community and DBV, as we are excited about potentially offering one of the first-ever treatments to patients suffering from peanut allergy. I look forward to leading our commercial organization during this next phase of growth."
