Paris, November 27, 2025 – Capgemini has announced the successful completion of its 12th Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP), marking a significant milestone in employee participation and long-term value sharing across the organization.
For the first time, the program crossed 100,000 active employee participants across 36 countries, highlighting strong employee confidence in Capgemini’s strategy, leadership, and future growth.
Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer of the Capgemini Group, emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating that the record participation reflects employees’ trust in the company’s ambitions and reinforces the Group’s commitment to inclusive value creation.
Record Participation and Oversubscription
The twelfth ESOP achieved a record level of oversubscription across all participating countries. Under the terms announced earlier in September 2025, employees subscribed to 2.7 million new shares at a preferential price of €110.70 per share, representing 87.5% of the reference market price.
The transaction resulted in a capital increase of approximately €299 million, scheduled to be finalized on December 18, 2025. Following the plan, Capgemini’s employee share ownership is expected to remain stable at around 8% of total issued share capital by year-end.
No Shareholder Dilution
Capgemini confirmed that the ESOP was executed without shareholder dilution. To offset the newly issued shares, the company carried out a share buyback program announced in October 2025. A total of 2.7 million shares were repurchased at an average price of €126.55 per share, amounting to €342 million, and fully allocated for cancellation.
This approach ensures balance between rewarding employee participation and protecting shareholder value.
Strengthening Long-Term Alignment
Employee share ownership remains a core element of Capgemini’s people strategy, strengthening alignment between employees and the company’s long-term performance. By enabling employees to directly participate in value creation, the Group continues to reinforce engagement, retention, and shared responsibility for sustainable growth.
The success of the 12th ESOP underlines Capgemini’s position as a people-centric organization committed to inclusive ownership and long-term value creation.
