- fueling ongoing strategic discussions to deploy DSG technology in new applications (orthopaedic drills and robots, and dental implantology) through technological advances and intellectual property.
Nature of the transaction and legal framework
Exercising the powers delegated to it by the 9th and 15th resolutions adopted by the Company's ordinary and extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on June 25, 2025, the Board of Directors of SpineGuard, at its meeting on December 8th, 2025, (i) decided to implement the delegation granted to it, (ii) approved the principle of a capital increase carried out with the removal of preferential subscription rights but with the maintenance of the irreducible and reducible priority period for shareholders, and (iii) granted full powers to the Chief Executive Officer to proceed with the launch of the issue or to postpone it.
On December 8th, 2025, the Chief Executive Officer, exercising the sub-delegation granted by the Board of Directors, decided to proceed with a capital increase with the removal of preemptive subscription rights but with the maintenance of the irreducible and reducible priority period for shareholders, the terms and conditions of which are detailed in this press release.
Subscription price of New Shares
The subscription price has been set at €0.1120 per New Share, comprising €0.05 par value and €0.0620 issue premium, representing a discount of 25.93% on the closing price on December 8th, 2025 (€0.1512).
The subscription price is payable in full in cash upon subscription.
Maximum amount of the Capital Increase and maximum number of New Shares
The gross amount of the Capital Increase, including the issue premium, is €1.598.731,9040 (of which €713,719.60 is nominal value and €885,012.3040 is issue premium), corresponding to the issue of 14,274,392 New Shares.
This press release and the information contained herein must not be distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States, Canada, Japan or Australia.
Depending on the level of demand, the Company reserves the right to exercise the extension clause (the “Extension Clause”), up to a limit of 15% of the initial issue amount, thereby increasing the number of New Shares to be issued by 2,141,158 additional New Shares to bring the total number of New Shares to be issued as part of the Capital Increase to a maximum of 16,415,550 New Shares, representing a maximum gross amount for the Capital Increase of €1.838.541,60.
Terms and Conditions of the Offer
On December 8th, 2025, the Chief Executive Officer, exercising the sub-delegation granted by the Board, decided to increase the share capital by removing shareholders' preferential subscription rights through a public offering with a priority period, on an irreducible and reducible basis, in favor of shareholders, by issuing a maximum number of 14,274,392 New Shares of the Company with a par value of €0.05 each, this number being subject to increase by 2,141,158 additional New Shares in the event of full exercise of the Extension Clause.
New Shares not subscribed for during the priority period, whether on an irreducible or reducible basis, will be offered as part of a global offering (the “Offering”), comprising:
- a public offering in France, primarily intended for individuals (the “Public Offering”); and
- a global placement intended for institutional investors (the “Global Placement”) comprising:
- an offering in France to qualified investors; and
- an international offering to qualified investors in certain countries outside the United States of America in connection with offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act (“Regulation S”) (except in Japan, Australia, South Africa, and Canada).
The final number of New Shares to be issued will be determined at the end of the Global Offering with an expected closing date of December 11th, 2025.
Guarantee commitments
Under the terms of irrevocable guarantee commitments made to the Company, five investors (the “Guarantors”) have undertaken to subscribe to the Capital Increase for a total amount of €1,200,000.
These commitments will enable the Offer to reach a minimum completion threshold of 75%.
They would be triggered if the total amount subscribed for New Shares (irreducible and reducible subscriptions within the priority period and subscriptions in the public offering and Global Placement) represented less than 75% of the Offering.
Under these guarantee commitments, the Guarantors will receive a commission totaling €120,000 deducted from the gross proceeds of the Capital Increase. This commission will be payable in full regardless of the number of New Shares actually subscribed by the Guarantors as part of the Capital Increase. If the Capital Increase is completed at 75%, this commission would represent 10.0% of the gross proceeds of the Capital Increase. If the Capital Increase is completed at 100%, this commission would represent 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the Capital Increase.
Limitation on the Amount of the Capital Increase
In the event that the subscriptions received on an irreducible and reducible basis within the priority period and the subscriptions in the public offering and Global Placement do not absorb the entire Capital Increase, the Chief Executive Officer, exercising the sub-delegation granted by the Board of Directors on December 8th, 2025, may limit the amount of the Capital Increase to the amount of subscriptions received, in accordance with Article L.225-134 of the French Commercial Code, provided that this amount reaches at least €1,199,048.9280, corresponding to 75% of the initial gross amount of the Capital Increase.
Domiciliary agents – Payment of subscriptions
Subscriptions for New Shares and payments of funds by shareholders whose shares are registered in administered registered form or in bearer form will be accepted until December 11th, 2025 (inclusive) by their authorized intermediary for subscriptions within the priority period and within the Public Offer.
Subscriptions for New Shares and payments of funds by shareholders whose shares are registered in pure registered form will be accepted free of charge until December 11th, 2025 (inclusive) by Société Générale Securities Services (32, rue du Champ de Tir, 44000 Nantes, France) during the priority period and as part of the Public Offering.
Each subscription must be accompanied by payment of the funds. Subscriptions for which payments have not been made will be automatically canceled without the need for formal notice.
The sums paid during the subscription period and available after allocation will be refunded without interest to subscribers by the authorized intermediaries who received them.
The expected delivery date of the New Shares is December 18th, 2025, according to the indicative timetable.
Subscriptions that have not been fully paid up in cash will be automatically canceled without the need for formal notice.
Any sums paid during the subscription period and remaining available after allocation will be refunded without interest to subscribers by the authorized intermediaries who received them.
The funds paid in support of the subscriptions will be centralized by Société Générale Securities Services (32, rue du Champ de Tir, 44000 Nantes, France), which will be responsible for issuing the certificate of deposit of funds confirming the completion of the Capital Increase and the issue of the New Shares.
Investment restrictions
The sale of New Shares may be subject to specific regulations in certain countries.
Net proceeds from the Capital Increase
The net proceeds of the Capital Increase (corresponding to the gross amount less all costs relating to the Capital Increase, including the amount of commissions due to the Guarantors) would amount to approximately €1.3M, €0.9M and €1.5M, respectively, if the Capital Increase is completed at 100%, 75% and 115%.
Commitments to abstain and preserve
No lock-up agreement has been entered into in connection with the Capital Increase.
This press release and the information contained herein must not be distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States, Canada, Japan or Australia.
Warranty
The Capital Increase is not subject to a performance guarantee within the meaning of Article L.225-145 of the French Commercial Code. However, it should be noted that the Company has received guarantee commitments from the Guarantors enabling it to reach the threshold of 75% of the Capital Increase.
Structure of the Capital Increase and indicative timetable
Priority period
The capital increase is carried out with the removal of shareholders' preferential subscription rights and with a priority period, on an irreducible and reducible basis, of 3 consecutive trading days, from December 9th, 2025 to December 11th, 2025 (inclusive) at 6 p.m. (Paris time), granted to holders of existing shares registered in their securities accounts at the end of the accounting day on December 8th, 2025, according to the indicative timetable. This priority period is neither transferable nor negotiable.
During the priority period, each shareholder of the Company will have the opportunity to subscribe for New Shares to be issued as part of the Public Offering (i) on an irreducible basis, in proportion to their share in the Company's capital on December 8th, 2025, at a rate of 2 New Shares for 11 existing shares held on December 8th, 2025, and (ii) on a reducible basis, up to the number of New Shares that they wish to subscribe for in addition to those to which they are entitled under their irreducible priority right (within the limits set out below), it being specified that subscription orders placed on a reducible basis within the priority period will be served in priority to subscription orders placed in connection with the Public Offering and the Global Placement (including in respect of New Shares issued in connection with the possible exercise of the Extension Clause).
Any shareholder who, under this rule, is allocated the right to subscribe for less than one New Share shall be entitled to subscribe for one New Share.
Shareholders wishing to subscribe for New Shares in addition to those to which they are entitled under their irreducible priority rights may place an order, either on a reducible basis within the priority period, or as part of the Public Offering or Global Placement. Orders placed by shareholders within the priority period on a reducible basis will be filled to the extent of their requests and in proportion to the number of existing shares whose rights have been used to support their subscription on an irreducible basis, without resulting in the allocation of fractions of New Shares. Any New Shares issued in connection with the exercise of the Extension Clause will be allocated on a priority basis, according to the same rules, to serve any orders on a reducible basis that have not been fulfilled. Orders placed by shareholders in connection with the Public Offering or the Global Placement will be treated without priority over orders placed by any other investor wishing to subscribe in connection with the Public Offering or the Global Placement.
For example, a shareholder holding 785,092 shares, representing 1% of the capital, may subscribe on an irreducible basis for a maximum of 142,743 New Shares, corresponding to a subscription amount equal to a maximum of €15,987.10, with the certainty of being fully served, whether the capital increase is carried out at 75%, 100%, or 115% of the amount initially targeted.
Public Offering
The Public Offering will be open only in France, from December 9th, 2025, to December 11th, 2025 (inclusive) at 6 p.m. (Paris time) for subscriptions at branches and, if this option is available through their financial intermediary, for subscriptions via the Internet. The funds paid in support of the subscriptions will be centralized at Société Générale Securities Services, which will be responsible for issuing the certificate of deposit of funds confirming the completion of the capital increase.
This press release and the information contained herein must not be distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States, Canada, Japan or Australia.
Global Placement
The Global Placement will take place from December 9th, 2025, to December 11th, 2025. To be considered, orders placed in connection with the Global Placement must be received by the Global Coordinator and Bookrunner no later than December 11th, 2025, at 6 p.m. (Paris time) (indicative date).
Allocation procedure
The procedure for allocating New Shares will be as follows:
- Subscription for New Shares is reserved, on a priority basis, for existing shareholders of the Company registered in the share register on December 8th, 2025, who may exercise this right under the conditions described above;
- New Shares not subscribed for under this priority will be allocated according to the nature and size of demand between subscriptions under the Public Offering and those under the Global Placement;
- Subscriptions under the Global Placement will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and/or according to the quality of the various categories of investors;
Underwriting commitments will be allocated if the remaining allocated subscriptions do not reach 75% of the initial amount of the Offering (a proportional reduction will be made in the event of a partial call on the underwriting commitment).

Risk factors
The Company notes that the risk factors relating to the Company and its business are detailed in its 2025 half-year financial report1 and its 2024 annual financial report2, which are available free of charge on the Company's website.
The occurrence of all or part of these risks could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results, development, or prospects. The risk factors presented in the above-mentioned documents remain unchanged as of the date of this press release.
In addition, investors are invited to consider the specific risks associated with the Capital Increase:
- Existing shareholders who do not subscribe to the Capital Increase within the priority period will see their stake in the Company's capital diluted.
- the market price of the Company's shares could fluctuate and fall below the subscription price of the New Shares;
- the volatility and liquidity of the Company's shares could fluctuate significantly; and
- sales of the Company's shares could occur on the market, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's share price.
The cash position as of November 30th, 2025, amounted to €706K. Subscriptions relating to the bond financing for a maximum amount of €1 million concluded on September 10, 2025, have been closed. Given its commercial and financial projections, the reduction in its expenses, and the progress made in discussions with potential partners with a view to concluding new strategic industrial agreements, the Board of Directors has adopted a going concern assumption. SpineGuard believes it will be able to cover its financing needs until the fourth quarter of 2026.
SpineGuard is currently exploring various options and measures to strengthen its financing horizon and is working to forge new strategic partnerships to expand the scope of applications for its DSG® technology.
Eligibility of the Capital Increase under Article 150-0 B ter of the French General Tax Code (reinvestment of capital gains) and eligibility of SpineGuard securities for PEA and PME-ETI tax incentives
In the event of a contribution of securities to a company controlled by the contributor, the capital gain is subject to tax deferral (Article 150-0 B ter of the French General Tax Code). The sale of the contributed securities within three years terminates this tax deferral, unless the company undertakes to reinvest 60% of the proceeds of the sale in an economic activity within two years of the sale. The proceeds of the sale may, in particular, be invested in cash subscriptions to the initial capital or capital increase of one or more companies that meet the conditions of activity, corporate tax and location of the effective place of management as provided for in a of 2° of I of Article 150-0 B ter and in the first paragraph of b and c of 3° of II of Article 150-0 D ter of the General Tax Code.
As such, the Capital Increase constitutes a reinvestment eligible for the maintenance of the capital gain on contribution with regard to the nature of the reinvestment.
Other conditions for applying the scheme that are independent of the Company (reinvestment period and threshold, retention of new securities, etc.) must also be complied with by the subscriber. Investors who may benefit from this scheme are invited to consult their usual tax advisor in order to assess their personal situation with regard to the specific regulations applicable.
Finally, SpineGuard reminds investors that it meets the eligibility criteria for the PEA PME-ETI specified in Articles L. 221-32-2 and D.221-113-5 et seq. of the French Monetary and Financial Code. As a result, SpineGuard shares can be fully integrated into equity savings plans (PEA) and PEA PME-ETI accounts, which enjoy the same tax advantages as traditional PEA plans.
