Two International Proxy Advisory Firms Support the Governance Project Proposed by OSE Immunotherapeutics at the September 30th General Meeting

Two International Proxy Advisory Firms Support the Governance Project Proposed by OSE Immunotherapeutics at the
September 30th General Meeting

NANTES, France – September 22, 2025, 8:00 a.m. CET – OSE Immunotherapeutics SA (ISIN: FR0012127173; Mnemo: OSE) announces that two international proxy advisory firms, including Glass Lewis, recommend shareholders to vote IN FAVOR of the resolutions proposed by the Board of Directors regarding its composition (resolutions 5 to 8) at the general meeting of shareholders on September 30, 2025 (the “General Meeting”).

Glass Lewis also recommends voting AGAINST all resolutions proposed by the group of minority shareholders acting in concert (resolutions A to K) and specifies in this regard:

We do not believe that [the group of minority shareholders acting in concert] have presented a compelling alternative which results in a clearly superior alternative to the Company’s current strategic approach. While we remain open to constructive dialogue, we believe that management’s current strategy warrants additional time to fully develop and demonstrate its long-term potential. Moreover, we recognize the management’s efforts to incorporate members of the dissident group onto the board, reflecting a commitment to balanced representation and inclusive governance.”1

The other firm, highlighting that the Company’s current governance practices and management do not appear to be detrimental to the Company’s performance, also recommends OSE’s shareholders to reject the majority of dissenting resolutions, in particular resolutions “B,” “C,” “E,” “F,” “G,” “H,” “J,” and “K” proposed by the group of minority shareholders2.

These recommendations, issued by internationally recognized and influential independent institutions, reinforce the current strategy and position of the Board of Directors, which has chosen to include two candidates proposed by the group of minority shareholders (resolutions 7 and 8) in a spirit of openness and balanced representation.

In this context, the Board of Directors calls on shareholders to carefully consider the impact of the proposed resolutions and to vote in favor of a stable governance and long-term value creation. It reiterates its recommendation to vote:

  • FOR resolutions 1 to 35 which reflect strategic continuity and also illustrate the Board's openness to dialogue with shareholders and to inclusive and transparent governance and
  • AGAINST resolutions A to K which propose a complete renewal of the Board of Directors without a clear roadmap.

VOTE TODAY – Every vote counts.

As a reminder, shareholders may participate in the General Meeting :

  • Either in person;
  • Either by voting by mail or online via VOTACCESS;
  • Either by proxy, by granting proxy to the Chairman;
  • Either by proxy, by granting proxy to any other person of their choice (Articles L.225-106 and L.22-10-39 of the French Commercial Code).

It is specified that for any proxy given to a shareholder without indication of a proxy holder, the Chairman of the General Meeting will cast a vote in favor of the draft resolutions presented or approved by the Board of Directors and against all other draft resolutions.

To cast any vote, shareholders must appoint a proxy who agrees to vote in accordance with the instructions given by the principal.

Shareholders are invited to consult the documents available on the Company’s website https://www.ose-immuno.com/assemblees-generales/.
