("Biophytis" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused

(AGM) on April 26th 2021 at 5.00 p.m. CET at Sorbonne Université, 4 Place

As a result of restrictions placed on the movement and gatherings of persons
due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, the Company's Combined General Meeting will be
held behind closed doors without the physical presence of its shareholders, in
accordance with the provisions of the French Decree no 2021-255 of March 9
2021.

that the meeting will be held behind closed doors. [An amended publication in
the BALO will be made in order to clarify this.]
