LINK 2026
In brief
Thanks to LINK, the employee shareholding offer, you can acquire ENGIE shares via a Group Employee Mutual Fund (FCPE) within the Group Savings Plan (PEG) on preferential terms.
Advantages
Please take note before subscribing
By participating in LINK 2026, you will receive the following benefits:
A discount of 20% on the reference share price
- The subscription price as an employee benefits from a reduction of 20% on the reference price.
- This discount increases your potential gains or mitigates your losses depending on share price trends.
- The reference price is equal to the arithmetical average of the average ENGIE share prices, weighted by volume traded on the Euronext Paris stock exchange (Volume-Weighted Average Price) during the 20 trading sessions from 5th May to 1st June 2026 inclusive.
A maximum matching contribution of €5001
- The Group supplements your personal contribution with a matching contribution according to the following rule:
- 300% up to and including €100,
- 100% between €100 and €300 inclusive. Thus, if you invest €300 in LINK 2026, you will receive a matching contribution of €500.
1 The CSG (General Social Contribution) and CRDS (Contribution to Reimbursement of the Social Debt) payable on the matching contribution will be deducted from your pay slip by your employer in August 2026 at a rate of 9.7%.
Through your investment, you enjoy:
Potential dividends
- The potential dividends and any income associated with each share will be reinvested in the “LINK CLASSIC 2026” sub-fund, thereby increasing the value of your ENGIE holdings.
- The "LINK CLASSIC 2026" sub-fund may benefit from the bonus dividend if the conditions laid down in ENGIE's Articles of Association and in law are met, which will further enhance the value of your holdings.
The potential capital gain equates to the difference between:
- The sale price of your units (which depends on the ENGIE share price) and the amount of your initial investment (personal contribution + matching contribution).
Favourable tax benefits with the Group Savings Plan (PEG)
By taking part in LINK 2026, you will benefit from the following taxation (as of 1st January 2026):
- When you subscribe: discount and matching contribution not subject to tax, only subject to CSG / CRDS2
- During the shareholding period: no taxation
- At the end of the investment: any capital gains, including any dividends reinvested in the “LINK CLASSIC 2026” sub-fund during the shareholding period, are exempt from income tax and are subject to social contributions only3.
2 The CSG (General Social Contribution) and CRDS (Contribution to Reimbursement of the Social Debt) payable on the matching contribution will be deducted from your pay slip by your employer in August 2026 at a rate of 9.7%.
3 At the applicable rate at the end of the investment (upon maturity or earlier in the event of early release), which is 18.6% at the time of drafting the brochure.
In return for the benefits of LINK 2026
The value of your investment tracks the share price, both upwards and downwards, and therefore your investment carries a risk of capital loss. In fact, depending on the share price when you redeem your shares, the value of your holdings may be lower than your personal contribution.
Consequently, you are advised to assess the need to diversify your savings across the funds proposed in the Group Savings Plan:
• EGEPARGNE MONETAIRE (cash)
• EGEPARGNE 1 OBLIGATAIRE (bonds)
• SYCOMORE DIVERSIFIE SOLIDAIRE (diversified)
• EGEPARGNE 2 DIVERSIFIE (diversified)
• EGEPARGNE ACTIONS CROISSANCE EURO (Euro growth)
• EGEPARGNE ACTIONS MONDE (worldwide shares)
Your investment is locked in for 5 years, i.e., until 29th July 2031 inclusive, except in the event of early release.
What happens to my investment at the end of the lock-in period?
By investing LINK 2026, you will hold shares in the “LINK CLASSIC 2026” sub-fund of the “LINK FRANCE” FCPE.
At the end of the 5-year lock-in period, you can choose to either:
- keep your holdings in the “LINK CLASSIC 2026” sub-fund; your holdings are available and you have the option of requesting their redemption in full or in part at any time,
- spread your holdings across one or more FCPE within ENGIE’s PEG, and
- request the redemption of your holdings in whole or in part.
