Gide has assisted the banking syndicate made up of Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, JMP Securities, H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Kempen & Co on the USD 153.7 million capital increase of DBV Technologies through the offer of common shares in the United States (American Depositary Shares, or ADS) and a private placement in Europe of common shares.
The common shares are listed for trading on the Euronext Paris and the ADSs are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
