Capgemini SE`s share capital reduction
Paris, December 19, 2017 - Capgemini announces that the number of shares in Capgemini SE`s share capital is down by 665,838 shares compared to December 1, 2017 and now stands at 168,483,742 shares.
This reduction in share count results from the 3,600,000 shares capital increase related to the 4th employee share ownership plan (ESOP 2017) and the cancellation of 4 265 838 treasury shares. Those shares were acquired via both the share repurchase agreement implemented to neutralize the dilutive effect of the capital increase and the multi-year share buyback program.
This new capital reduction brings share count down by 3,080,523 shares or 1.8% of the capital since January 1st and illustrates the ability of the Group to associate employees with its development and performance while delivering an attractive return to shareholders.
