For Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer of the Capgemini Group: “As a strategic business and technology partner of large companies and organizations, the Group fully answers market demand for value generating solutions. With 50,000 employees subscribing, the sheer scale of this plan demonstrates once more the trust they place in Capgemini’s strategy, resilience, and ambitions. Our annual ESOP is a key tool to share with them the value which they contribute to creating and an important attraction component for current and future talent.”
This tenth employee shareholding plan was subscribed to by more than 50,000 employees in the 32 participating countries. This capital increase, aimed at associating employees with the development and performance of the Group, represents 1.8% of the Group’s issued share capital and will contribute to maintain Capgemini’s employee share ownership at year end at around 8% of the capital.
