DBV Technologies S.A. 10-K

Item 3. Legal Proceedings. From time to time, we may become subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Other than as described below, we are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. Class Action Complaint A class action complaint was filed on January 15, 2019 in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, entitled Travis Ito-Stone v. DBV Technologies, et al., Case No. 2:19-cv-00525. The complaint, as 81 Table of Contents amended, alleged that we and our Chief Executive Officer, our current Chief Executive Officer, our former Deputy Chief Executive Officer, and our former Chief Business officer violated certain federal securities laws, specifically under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons that purchased our securities between February 14, 2018 and August 4, 2020 and also held our securities on December 20, 2018 and/or March 16, 2020 and/or August 4, 2020. A hearing was held on July 29, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey where the Court entered an order granting our Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Class Action Complaint without prejudice. As the dismissal was without prejudice, the Plaintiffs replead their case by filing a Third Amended Class Action Complaint on September 30, 2021 in the same Court. We moved to dismiss third amended complaint on December 10, 2021. We believe that the allegations contained in the complaint are without merit and intend to defend the case vigorously. We cannot predict at this point the length of time that this action will be ongoing or the liability, if any, which may arise therefrom. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures. Not applicable. PART II
