Regulatory News:
Sopra Steria Group (SOP, Euronext Paris [Compartment A] –
ISIN: FR0000050809) (Paris:SOP) today announced the
success of its We Share 2023 employee share ownership plan, to
which one in three eligible Group employees, and nearly one in two
in France, subscribed.
In February, Sopra Steria announced the launch of its We Share
2023 employee share ownership plan, based on the same conditions as
previous plans, given their success.
The plan comprised 200,000 shares – 100,000 shares purchased by
employees and 100,000 free shares granted as Sopra Steria’s
matching employer contribution – and was oversubscribed by more
than 160%. It was carried out exclusively through the transfer of
existing shares.
During the presentation of the results of this plan, Sopra
Steria Chairman Pierre Pasquier welcomed employee engagement: “With
this plan, we want to give our employees a lasting stake in the
Group’s development and performance. The success of We Share 2023
once again attests to their confidence in our strategy as an
independent Group.”
Upon completion of this plan, investments managed on behalf of
employees represented around 7% of the share capital and 8.5% of
voting rights, bolstering Sopra Steria’s position as one of
France’s leading listed companies when it comes to employee share
ownership. After adding the shares held directly in registered form
by current and former Group employees, these proportions amount to
10% of the share capital and 13% of voting rights, thereby making
employees the Group’s second-largest shareholder.
Shares subscribed under the We Share 2023 plan were delivered on
10 May 2023.
The features of this plan were detailed in a press release dated
24 February 2023.
