Navya requests receivership proceedings

Villeurbanne, France, January, 25th, 2023 – 5:45 pm CEST – NAVYA (FR0013018041- « Navya » or the « Company »), announces having filed today a declaration of cessation of payments (“déclaration de cessation des paiements”) with the Lyon Commercial Court.

The employee representative bodies were informed on this today.

Given the evolution of its share price and the liquidity of the shares on the market, Navya was no longer in a position to issue new tranches of OCABSA in an amount sufficient to cover all of its cash needs. In addition, all attempts to back it up with investors have failed.

To date, the Company reports current liabilities and does not have sufficient available resources to meet them.

In this context, the Company has today requested the opening of receivership proceedings (“procédure de redressement judiciaire”) with the Commercial Court of Lyon.

The purpose of these proceedings is to evaluate all solutions that could enable the Company to continue its activity in a lasting way, maintain employment, and also to attract investors within the framework of a recovery plan by way of continuation or a sale plan.

The Lyon Commercial Court will rule on this request for the opening of receivership proceedings during a hearing to be held on January 31, 2023. If the Commercial Court grants the Company’s request, the Company will continue its current activities during the observation period.

Navya will inform the financial markets of the decision of the Lyon Commercial Court.

Navya has asked Euronext to suspend the listing of its shares from this morning before the opening of trading. Given the uncertainty regarding the outcome of the receivership proceedings and the steps taken by the Company, the suspension of the listing of the shares is maintained until further notice and may possibly never resume.

Press releases will be published regularly as the procedure moves forward.
