1 except in some exceptional cases of termination of the swap agreement through which the leverage is provided

2. You waive the benefit of the 12.5% ​​discount; the development of the Capgemini SE share taken into account in the calculation of your earnings being assessed in relation to the reference price and not in relation to the subscription price.
3. You waive the collection of any dividends.
4. Your assets are blocked for five years (except in the event of an early exit).


The protected average increase and the multiple booster

The protected average increase is the difference between the average of the share price readings and the reference price, which will be set on November 10, 2023.


Your gain is calculated based on the protected average increase in the Capgemini share price over the duration of the plan

Each month (on the last trading business day) the Capgemini SE share price will be recorded. The 60 readings will permit to calculate the average Capgemini SE share price over the 5 years. The average is called protected as none of the readings could be below the reference price. All the readings which will be less than or equal to the reference price will be automatically replaced by the reference price

The average of the Capgemini SE share price over the 5 years is compared to the reference price. This difference, when positive, gives the protected average increase.

Protected Average increase = Protected average – Reference price


What is the multiple and why does it have an amplifying effect?

The multiple is a multiplier coefficient applied to the average increase. It allows you to multiply your gain and therefore optimize your performance. The multiple decreases as the protected average increase in the price of the Capgemini share grows.


How does it work?

Examples : In these examples, an indicative reference price of €150 is used, i.e. a subscription price by employees of €131,25 (87.5% x €150) with a 12.5% discount. Note that the performance is calculated by relinquishing the discount.

What are the risks?

Your investment carries no risk of capital loss in euros because your personal contribution is guaranteed4. Depending on the evolution of the exchange rate between euros and your subscription currency, you might benefit from a gain or loss on your investment.

What is the investment period?

Your assets are locked up for 5 years except in case of early release. Following the holding period, you cannot maintain your assets in the ESOP 2023.

You will be consulted few weeks before the end of the plan to make your choice:

  • To receive the amount of your assets
  • To transfer your assets to the FCPE “Capgemini Classic” invested in Capgemini SE shares offered as part of the International Group Savings Plan (IGSP)

Without any answer, your investment will be automatically transferred to this FCPE.

The fund invested in Capgemini SE shares, whose share value will increase or decrease depending on the Capgemini SE share price, will no longer benefit from the protection of ESOP 2023 after the five-year holding period and will therefore be exposed to a risk of capital loss.

4 except in some exceptional cases of termination of the swap agreement through which the leverage is provided

  • Termination of the employment contract
  • Disability of the employee
  • Death of the employee
