Capgemini Crosses the Threshold of 100,000 Participants in its Employee Share Ownership Plan
Capgemini announced the significant success of its twelfth employee share ownership plan, which for the first time crossed the symbolic threshold of 100,000 active participants. This operation, conducted according to the terms published in September, allows the group to strengthen employee involvement in the capital, while maintaining the share of employee ownership at around 8%.
Record Subscription in the Latest ESOP
In accordance with the terms published on September 11, 2025, Capgemini's twelfth Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) recorded the subscription of 2.7 million new shares at a unit price of 110.70 euros. This capital increase, amounting to 299 million euros, represents 1.6% of the group's social capital. The operation is expected to be effective on December 18, 2025. The subscription price of 110.70 euros corresponds to 87.5% of the reference price set at 126.51 euros, thus offering an attractive discount to participating employees. This record success in 36 participating countries confirms the commitment of the group's employees and their confidence in Capgemini's strategy.
Strategic Share Buyback to Prevent Dilution
To successfully implement this new employee share ownership plan without diluting existing shareholding, Capgemini proceeded with a buyback operation of 2.7 million shares intended to be cancelled. This operation, announced on October 7, 2025, represented a total amount of 342 million euros, with an average price of 126.55 euros per share. On the stock market, Capgemini's share price currently stands at 132.95 euros, up 4.64% over a week, although it shows a decline of 11.92% over a year. The stock is trading above its 20 and 50-day moving averages, at 130.46 and 126.73 euros respectively, and is approaching the technical resistance threshold identified at 134.90 euros.
