Capgemini launches its eleventh Employee
Share Ownership Plan
Paris,
September 11, 2024
– Capgemini announces
the launch of
its eleventh
Employee Share
Ownership Plan
(ESOP).
This new employee share ownership plan is
offered to approximately 97% of the employees and is part of the
Group’s policy to associate all employees with its development and
performance. This ESOP will be implemented through a capital
increase reserved for the Capgemini employees for a maximum of
2,700,000 shares (i.e. 1.56% of outstanding shares). As the 2019
ESOP reaches its term at the end of the year, this eleventh plan
will help maintain employee shareholding at around 8% of Capgemini
SE’s share capital.
As in 2023, the Board of Directors of Capgemini
SE at its meeting of June 12 and 13, 2024 decided to authorize a
dedicated share buyback envelope. This envelope could be used
within the next 12 months1 to neutralize all or part of
the dilutive effect of this capital increase.
According to the planned schedule, the
reservation period will be opened from September 12 to October 1,
2024 (inclusive) and will be followed by a subscription/revocation
period from November 12 to November 14, 2024 (inclusive). The
subscription price of the new shares will be set on November 7,
2024 and the capital increase will be completed on December 19,
2024.
Employees will be able to subscribe to Capgemini
shares within the framework of subscription leveraged and
guaranteed formulas. These formulas will ensure that employees will
be safeguarded against any potential loss during the period when
the shares are non-tradable. The voting rights will be exercised by
the holders who – depending on the formula and the context – will
be an FCPE (Fonds Commun de Placement d’Entreprise), the
employees via direct shareholding and/or the financial institution
structuring the offer or its counterparties.
The implementation of the leveraged guaranteed
offering implies hedging transactions entered into by the financial
institution structuring the offer (Crédit Agricole Corporate and
Investment Bank), on market or off- market, through purchases
and/or sales of shares, purchase of call options and/or any other
transactions, at any time, including during the Reference
Price2 fixing period, i.e. from October 10 to November
6, 2024, and over the entire course of the plan, i.e. until
December 19, 2029.
