Edited Press Release
Capgemini (CAP.FR) is launching the first stage of its new
policy aiming at associating its employees to the Group's
development and stock market performance through an issuance of
2,999,000 Bons de Souscription et/ou d'Acquisition d'Actions
Remboursables (or Callable Share Subscription and/or Acquisition
Warrants) targeting approximately 1,200 Group managers.
The second stage of this policy will consist of the launch, in
the coming months, of an international employee share ownership
plan targeting the 90,000 Capgemini employees.
A Warrant will grant the right to subscribe one Cap Gemini share
from July 22, 2013 to July 20, 2016 at a price of EUR34 per share,
representing a premium of 27% over the closing price of the Cap
Gemini share on May 12, 2009, and a premium of 29% over the
reference share price (corresponding to the average share price
over the last 20 trading days until May 12, 2009). The price of the
Warrant has been set at EUR3.22 on the basis of an independent
expert opinion. The Warrants can neither be sold nor traded during
the first four years, and will be listed during the following three
years as from July 22, 2013.
This transaction, which will lead to the issuance of a maximum
number of 2,999,000 Cap Gemini shares, will enable some 1,200 Group
managers to take the risk, if they so desire, of making a personal
investment allowing them to be more closely associated with the
long-term stock market performance of the Cap Gemini share, and in
so doing affirming their confidence in the Group's evolution.
