Capgemini’s eleventh Employee Share
Ownership Plan:
share buyback to neutralize dilution
Paris, October 8, 2024 – As part of its
eleventh Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP),
Capgemini is announcing the launch of a
share buyback to neutralize the shareholder dilution associated
with this plan.
Capgemini will allocate in advance the proceeds
of this eleventh ESOP plan - which takes the form of a capital
increase reserved for employees - to the repurchase of existing
shares. This share buyback operation is designed to neutralize the
shareholder dilution resulting from the capital increase and will
take place before December 19, 2024, the date on which the capital
increase will become effective. On this date, employee shareholding
will be increased by a maximum of 2.7 million shares (representing
1.56% of existing share capital), with no material impact on the
Group's cash position and no significant dilution of existing
shareholders.
On October 8, 2024, Capgemini SE entered into a
share buyback agreement with an investment services provider, which
is also the institution structuring the employee share ownership
plan. Capgemini has thus undertaken to buy back its own shares, up
to a limit of 2.7 million shares and 675 million euros, for the
purpose of cancellation. The main terms and conditions of the share
buyback agreement are detailed in the appendix to this press
release.
As a reminder, this share buyback transaction
follows the announcement on September 11, 2024 of the launch of the
eleventh ESOP plan and the decision by Capgemini SE's Board of
Directors to authorize a dedicated share buyback program. The terms
of these two transactions fall within the scope of authorizations
granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 16, 2024.
