Appointment of Marc Le Bozec as Interim CEO

Nantes, October 3, 2025, 8:00 a.m. CET – OSE Immunotherapeutics (ISIN: FR0012127173; Mnemonic: OSE) announces the termination of the position as chief executive officer of Mr. Nicolas Poirier and the appointment of Mr. Marc Le Bozec as interim CEO, as decided yesterday by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors has commenced a formal search for a new permanent Chief Executive Officer.

The Board of Directors has empowered Marc Le Bozec to lead a strategic evaluation of OSE's business, with a focus on maximizing value across partnerships, finances, and clinical development programs.

Nicolas Poirier will retain his position as Chief Scientific Officer at OSE.

The termination of Mr. Nicolas Poirier's duties as Chief Executive Officer will not result in the payment of any compensation or indemnity, given that Mr. Nicolas Poirier is remunerated exclusively under his employment contract with the Company.

The compensation of the new Chief Executive Officer will be reviewed by the Nomination and Compensation Committee and submitted to a vote at the next shareholders' general meeting, given the absence of a compensation policy for the Chief Executive Officer.

Regarding the appointment of Marc Le Bozec, Dr. Markus Cappel, Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated:

I am delighted to work with Marc during this crucial transition for OSE. Our Board of Directors is committed to securing a bright future for the company. To achieve this, we need to gain a clearer understanding of our current position, realign our strategy, and accelerate our progress.

I am convinced that Marc is the ideal person for this task. His extensive experience in the French and international biotech sector, combined with his expertise in corporate governance and investment fund management, will be invaluable. He will bring much-needed stability, re-engage all our stakeholders, and help us develop a strategy that will allow OSE to realize its full potential and value.”

Marc Le Bozec added: “I thank the Board of Directors for their confidence. OSE is a success story, but it is also at a turning point. A comprehensive review is a priority today, and we owe it to our shareholders. Reassuring the teams, whose talent we know well, giving them a clear direction, while keeping the mission of therapeutic innovation at the heart of the company, is my other major priority. I am undertaking this interim CEO role with confidence and determination.
