Capital evolution in 2025

(1)
The standalone statutory loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 of the parent company was allocated to premiums related to share capital for 58.2 million euros or approximately $63.0 million following the decision of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders which took place on June 26, 2025. The difference between this standalone statutory loss of the parent company and the consolidated net loss was allocated to retained deficit for $26.2 million.
(2)
During the year ended December 31, 2025, 245,568 ordinary shares were issued to the benefit of Company's employees related to the free shares plans which met vesting conditions and exercised stock options.

Capital evolution in 2024

•
The statutory standalone net loss of the parent company was allocated to premiums related to share capital following the allocation decision of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders. The remaining consolidated net loss was allocated to retained earnings (deficit).
•
On May 3, 2024, 28,000,000 shares were issued in connection with the SIA of $140.0 million at a price of $5 per share. The additional investment was made by way of subscription of 10,000,000 “class A” convertible preferred shares and 18,000,000 “class B” convertible preferred shares, in each case at a price of $5.00 per share. Both classes of preferred shares benefit from a liquidation preference and are convertible into ordinary shares with the same rights as the outstanding ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.
•
The transaction costs recognized as a reduction of share premium during the twelve-months period ended December 31, 2024 correspond to the $0.2 million issuance cost related to AstraZeneca additional investment.
•
During the year ended December 31, 2024, 342,672 ordinary shares were issued to the benefit of Cellectis employees corresponding to the free shares vested. On March 5, 2024, 204,334 ordinary shares were issued to the benefit of Cellectis employees corresponding to the free shares vested under the March 5, 2021 free shares award. On May 12, 2024, 2,120 ordinary shares were issued to the benefit of Cellectis employees corresponding to the free shares vested under the May 12, 2021 free shares award. On May 28, 2024, 135,980 ordinary shares were issued to the benefit of Cellectis employees corresponding to the free shares vested under the May 28, 2021 free shares award. On September 30, 2024, 238 ordinary shares were issued to the benefit of Cellectis employees corresponding to the free shares vested under the September 30, 2021 free shares award.

Capital evolution in 2023

•
During the year ended December 31, 2023, 9,907,800 shares were issued in the Cellectis Follow-on Offering with gross proceeds of $24.8 million.
•
During the year ended December 31, 2023, 16,000,000 shares were issued on November 6, 2023 in connection with the AstraZeneca Initial Investment Agreement (the "IIA") of $80.0 million at a price of $5 per share. Following settlement and delivery of the new shares, AstraZeneca owned approximately 22% of the share capital and 21% of the voting rights of the Company, had the right to nominate a non-voting observer on the board of directors of Cellectis, and had the right to participate pro rata in Cellectis’s future share offerings. A portion of the Initial Investment Agreement proceeds equal to $35.7 million was reallocated to the transaction price of the Joint Research and Collaboration Agreement ("AZ JRCA") with AstraZeneca collaboration agreement and recorded as deferred revenue. The amount is reflected as a deduction from the share premium. The remaining consideration received, after reallocation of the AZ JRCA representing $44.9 million is reflected in share capital for $0.9 million and share premium for $44.0 million. Further details on the interdependence between the AZ JRCA and SIA are provided in Note 2.6 to the financial statements "Accounting treatment of significant transactions of the period".
•
The transaction costs recognized as a reduction of share premium during the year ended December 31, 2023 correspond to the $1.4 million issuance costs incurred in 2023 in connection with the Cellectis Follow-on Offering (in addition to the $0.6 million costs already incurred and deducted from Equity in the fourth quarter of 2022) and the $0.6 million issuance costs related to AstraZeneca initial investment.
•
During the annual shareholders meeting of June 27, 2023, the shareholders, in accordance with French Law, approved the absorption of $134.0 million of retained earnings into share premium as presented in "other movements". This transaction has no impact on the total equity, comprehensive income (loss), assets (including cash) nor liabilities.

Voting rights:

In general, each shareholder is entitled to one vote per share at any general shareholders’ meeting. However, our By-Laws provide that all shares held in registered form for more than two years will be granted double voting rights.

Until they convert into ordinary shares, the "class A" convertible preferred shares have single voting rights, and will not be eligible for double voting right under any circumstances, and the "class B" have no voting rights for a period of 74 years, except with respect to any distribution of dividends or reserves.

•
At December 31, 2025, we had 100,339,441 shares outstanding of which 10,000,000 were Class A Preferred shares with a single voting right, 18,000,000 were Class B Preferred shares with no voting rights, and 23,236,915 were ordinary shares with a double voting right. As a result, as of December 31, 2025 total voting rights amounted to 105,576,356.
•
At December 31, 2024, we had 100,093,873 shares outstanding of which 10,000,000 were Class A Preferred shares with a single voting rights, 18 000 000 were Class B Preferred shares with no voting rights, and 6,566,666 were ordinary shares with a double voting right. As a result, as of December 31, 2024 total voting rights amounted to 88,660,539.
•
At December 31, 2023, we had 71,751,201 ordinary shares outstanding of which 5,935,517 had a double voting right, and no preferred shares. As a result, as of December 31, 2023 total voting rights amounted to 77,686,718.

17.3 Non-controlling interests

 

Non-controlling shareholders held a 52% interest in Calyxt as of May 31, 2023. These non-controlling interests were generated during the initial public offering of Calyxt, subsequent follow-on offerings and Calyxt’s at-the-market (ATM) offering program, as well as through vesting and exercises of equity awards. On June 1, 2023, as Calyxt was deconsolidated and as a result, we derecognized non-controlling interests in Calyxt. Since June 1, 2023, the Group has held a 100% interest in all fully consolidated entities.
