to understand ESOP 2025
-
How are the offer's benefits financed?

-

-
What are the main steps in the subscription?
You can make a reservation from September 12 to October 1, 2025. You may cancel your reservation fully from November 12 to 14, after the subscription price has been communicated, but you can no longer change it.
The reservation period runs from September 12 to October 1, 2025
During this period, you must indicate the amount of your personal investment, in money by connecting to the online subscription site clicking on “Subscribe to ESOP 2025”.
The subscription price will be known on November 6, 2025
It depends on the reference price, equal to the average price of the Capgemini SE share listed on the Paris stock exchange over the 20 trading days preceding November 6, 2025.
The period of revocation runs from November 12 to 14, 2025
During these 3 days, you may cancel your subscription fully.
You may also subscribe during this period if you have not reserved between September 12 and October 1, 2025. However, in this case, your personal investment is limited to 0.25% of your 2025 gross annual compensation and should be a minimum amount of 1 share.
If you reserved shares during the reservation period, you cannot subscribe for a different amount during the revocation period. You may only cancel your initial subscription completely either online or by using the printed revocation form.
If you do nothing during the revocation period, your reservation will be confirmed automatically.
The shares delivery is scheduled next December 18.
-
What costs will I have to pay?
There are no fees to pay: management and handling fees are either included in the scheme or are borne by Capgemini group.
However, if you leave the Group and keep your investment or if you decide to receive shares instead of shares after the holding period, the account maintenance fees will be at your expense.
-
In the event of early release, which date is taken into consideration?
Because the offering is made under the Capgemini International Group Savings Plan, your investment is held for 5 years in accordance with French law. However, you will be required to exit the plan before this date, if your employment with the Capgemini Group terminates for any reason, including due to your:
- Termination of employment with the Capgemini Group (whether voluntary or involuntary, including by retirement or as a result of your employer ceasing to be a member of the Capgemini Group)
- Death
- Disability (within the meaning of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code)
In addition to the foregoing, if your employment with the Capgemini Group transfers outside of the United States (as a result of a transfer of your employment to another Capgemini Group company outside of the United States or a transfer of your physical work location outside of the United States while remaining employed with the same Capgemini Group company), your investment in the Plan may be mandatorily redeemed at the instruction and in the sole discretion of Capgemini, and in such case your transfer of employment outside of the United States will be treated as an early exit event. This redemption and mandatory cash out will also apply to any other Capgemini Group ESOP plans in which you are invested at such time, as well as to any other deferred compensation plans (excluding the 401(k) plan) of which you are a beneficiary at such time (if any) and would be treated as a single plan with the ESOP plans for purposes of the plan aggregation rules of Section 409A.
This list of early release cases may vary based on local laws and tax rules.
Early release cases by country are described in the document entitled “U.S. Local Supplement”.
Early release may also occur in certain cases of transfer of your employment outside of the United States within the Capgemini group.
Early release takes place once a month.
For ESOP 2023, ESOP 2024 and ESOP 2025 the value is determined on the next trading day which is also a business day following the 15th of the month on the basis of the closing price of the Capgemini SE share (if the 15th of the month is not a business day, on the basis of the previous trading and business day’s closing price).
For ESOP 2023, ESOP 2024 and ESOP 2025 requests should be submitted with required supporting documents before the 5th day, excluding any Saturday, Sunday and any day on which commercial banks are not open for general business in France and the United States, preceding the 15th day of a given month (or the preceding trading day which is also a business day where banks and settlement systems are open in France if the 15th day of a given month is not a trading day and a business day where banks and settlement systems are open in France),
If a request for early release (with required supporting documents) is received after the 5th day, excluding any Saturday, Sunday and any day on which commercial banks are not open for general business in France and the United States, preceding the 15th day of a given month (or the preceding trading day which is also a business day where banks and settlement systems are open in France if the 15th day of a given month is not a trading day and a business day where banks and settlement systems are open in France), then the request will be taken into account the following month.
For ESOP 2021 and ESOP 2022, the value is determined on the basis of the value of the Capgemini SE share on last trading day of the month which is also a business day.
For ESOP 2021 and ESOP 2022 requests should be submitted with required supporting documents before the 5th day, excluding any Saturday, Sunday and any day on which commercial banks are not open for general business in France and the United States, preceding the last trading day for a given month (at midnight Paris time) to ensure it is dealt with in time; otherwise, the early release request will be executed at the end of the following month.
-
What happens if I change company during the plan?
Procedures for requesting early release are set on a country by country basis. In the U.S., early release is automatic upon the occurrence of leaving the Capgemini Group for any reason, including termination of employment (or employer leaving the Group), death or disability. Early release may also apply in certain cases of transfer within the Group to an employer outside the U.S. Please refer to the U.S. local supplement.
For transfers occurring during the offering period, in order to be able to subscribe, the relevant employee must be present in the country of subscription for at least one day between November 12 and 14, 2025.
Some flexibility will be allowed on a case by case basis by the subscription country HR in the following cases:Employees moving from their country of origin eligible for ESOP 2025 to a country which is not eligible for ESOP 2025 during the reservation (September 12-October 1) or revocation period (November 12 to 14, 2025) may be authorised to subscribe in their country of origin on two conditions:
- Agreement on means of payment.
- No specific tax or social difficulties.
- No local public offering or foreign exchange regulations difficulties.
Employees returning from working in an eligible country to a country of origin not eligible for the plan before November 14, 2025 will not be considered eligible for ESOP 2025.
Employees moving from one eligible country to another eligible country during the reservation period will be authorised to subscribe in either country (choosing the most practical solution for the employee and for the company).
For more information about various examples, please contact your HR department.
