We've all got our reasons for being shareholders

Q&A

This Q&A section refers specifically to the French plan and its applicable rules and deadlines.

• What is Elis For All?

  Elis for all is the name of the Elis Group's employee share ownership plan.

  By deploying its sixth employee share ownership plan, Elis aims to establish employee share ownership as one of the key drivers of its growth and employee engagement. 

• By subscribing to Elis for all, am I buying Elis shares?

  By subscribing to Elis for all, you are investing in the employee investment fund (FCPE) called Elis Shareholding, which itself holds shares in the company. In practical terms, this means that:

  - You are purchasing units in this fund, not shares directly.
  - The value of each unit tracks the performance of Elis shares.

  This mechanism makes it possible to purchase fractions of a share, and thus, facilitates the collective management of employee savings. 

• Who can take part?

  This plan is offered to all employees of Elis and its subsidiaries who are members of the Group Savings Plan (PEG) via a capital increase.

  To be eligible, you must be an employee of the Group and have at least three months' seniority on the opening date of the subscription period.

• How much can I invest?

  The minimum invested amount in Elis for all is set at €50.

  The maximum amount is equal to a quarter of your estimated gross annual salary for 2026 and is capped at €50,000.

• What is the reference price?

  The reference price corresponds to the average of the 20 opening prices of the share between 18 August and 11 September, 2025.

• At what price will the shares be offered to employees?

  The reference price will be set and announced on the 11th september 2026. Employees will benefit from a preferential rate with a 30% discount on the reference price.

• What is the discount?

  The discount is the reduction granted by Elis Group on the reference price of the share to enable employees to purchase shares at a favorable price. Under this plan, the discount will be 30%.

• What is the matching contribution?

  The employer contribution is a contribution in shares that adds to the employees' investment.

  Under this plan, Elis offers one free share for every 10 shares subscribed.
  These free shares will be automatically invested in units of the Elis Shareholding employee share ownership fund. 

• How can I pay?

  You can pay your subscription:

  • By voluntary payment (direct debit)
  • By allocating all or part of your incentive bonus and/or profit-sharing bonus
  • By By reallocating available assets of the Elis FCPE (employee share ownership fund) of the Company Savings Plan (PEG).

  You can also allocate all or part of the unavailable assets of the Company Savings Plan. However, the amount invested from unavailable assets will not be eligible for matching contributions and will be blocked for a further period of five years.

  If you wish to use available or unavailable assets from other employee investment funds to subscribe to Elis for all, please ensure that you transfer them to the Elis FIE fund before September 5, 2025, at 11:59 p.m.

• Is it possible to change or cancel my subscription after the end of the subscription period?

  No. At  the end of the subscription period, you subscription will be considered irrevocable and the investment must therefore be honoured. 

• What happens once the subscription is complete?

  If you have made a voluntary payment, it will be debited from your bank account around October 30, 2026.

• What happens throughout the duration of the plan?

  Once you have subscribed, your assets are locked in for a period of 5 years. Your assets will therefore be unavailable until November 2030, except in cases of early release provided for by law. 

  During the investment period, your investment follows the share price, both upwards and downwards.

  Any dividends will be automatically reinvested in the FCPE and will increase your number of shares.

• What are the cases for early release?

  • Marriage or civil partnership (PACS) of the employee
  • Birth or adoption of a third or subsequent child
  • Divorce, separation, or dissolution of a civil partnership with dependent children
  • Domestic violence
  • Disability of the employee, their spouse, civil partner, or child
  • Termination of employment contract
  • Creation or takeover of a business by the employee, one of their children, their spouse, or their civil union partner
  • Acquisition or expansion of the main residence
  • Situation of excessive debt of the employee
  • Death of the employee, their spouse, or their civil union partner
  • Energy renovation work on the main residence
  • Purchase of a clean vehicle, namely:
    • a vehicle whose sole source of energy is electricity, hydrogen, or a combination of the two
    • a new electric bicycle
  • Caregiving activity carried out by the employee, their spouse, or their civil union partner
• What is the difference between the reference price and the subscription price ?

  The reference price is the standard market price of the shares, while the subscription price is the reduced price you pay, equal to the reference price minus a 30% discount, with the added benefit of receiving one free share for every ten purchased through the employer matching contribution.
