/EIN News/ -- Lille (France), Cambridge (Massachusetts, United States), May 27, 2020 – GENFIT (Euronext: GNFT - ISIN: FR0004163111), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with metabolic and liver diseases, today announced the filing of its 2019 Universal Registration Document with the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) and its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

These annual reports are  available to the public free of charge in accordance with applicable regulations and may be viewed at and downloaded from GENFIT’s website at https://ir.genfit.com/. The 2019 Registration Document is also available on the AMF’s website: www.amf-france.org  and the Annual Report on Form 20-F is available on the website of the SEC (www.sec.gov).

GENFIT’s 2019 Universal Registration Document includes, in particular, the annual financial report, the annual Board of Directors’ management report, the Board of Directors’ report on corporate governance, the Statutory Auditors’ reports on the annual and consolidated financial statements and related-party agreements and the table summarizing the fees paid to the Statutory Auditors.

As a result of staffing constraints, remote work transitions, mobilization of our finance, legal and clinical teams normally involved in the drafting of our annual reports on key business continuity efforts and coordination of the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and reliance on certain third-parties to assist us in the production of the annual reports who were also impacted by COVID-19, the publication of our annual reports was delayed, as previously disclosed in our press release on April 29, 2020.
