How to use your profit-sharing bonus and/or share bonus to invest in LINK 2026?
Between March and May 2026 (depending on your entity):
Period of pre-allocation of your profit-sharing bonus and/or share bonus to LINK
During this period, you can allocate all or part of your profit-sharing bonus and/or share bonus to LINK 2026. The pre-allocated amounts were then temporarily invested in the "LINK FRANCE RELAIS 2026" FCPE within the ENGIE PEG.
From 3rd to 17th June 2026:
Subscription period for LINK
If I received a profit-sharing bonus and/or share bonus this year and I pre-allocated all or part of it to the "LINK FRANCE RELAIS 2026" fund with a view to subscribing to LINK 2026:
I still want to use my profit-sharing bonus and/or share bonus to invest in LINK
I don't have to do anything
I intend to use the entire pre-allocated amount:
I don't have to do anything, the total amount pre-allocated to "LINK FRANCE RELAIS 2026" will be automatically invested in LINK 2026.
I only intend to use part of the pre-allocated amount:
I log on to https://link.engie.com/2026, click on "Subscribe to LINK 2026" and indicate the final amount I wish to allocate to the offer.
If you reduce the amount of your LINK 2026 subscription4, the pre-allocated sums that will not be used for LINK 2026 will be reallocated to the “EGEPARGNE MONETAIRE” FCPE.
I no longer wish to use my profit-sharing bonus and/or share bonus to invest in LINK
I indicate my intention on the subscription website
I indicate my intention by clicking on "Subscribe to LINK 2026". The amount previously invested in the "LINK FRANCE RELAIS 2026" FCPE will be reallocated to the "EGEPARGNE MONETAIRE" FCPE within the ENGIE PEG.
However I decide to allocate my profit-sharing bonus and/or share bonus, I can use another means of payment to subscribe to LINK 2026.
4 N.B.: in such a case, these sums will be subject to the provisions of the PEG applicable to investments of profit-sharing bonuses and share bonuses in funds other than LINK 2026. For example, where applicable, these sums (which will not benefit from the LINK 2026 matching contribution) may benefit from the matching contribution provided for in the agreement concluded within your company. The holdings will be inaccessible for the duration stipulated in the ENGIE PEG (except in the case of an early release provided for by law) but can be moved to other FCPEs within the ENGIE PEG.
What happens in the event of an over-subscription?
In accordance with the decisions of the Board of Directors of 5th November 2025 and the Chief Executive Officer of 18th February 2026, the total number of shares offered under LINK 2026 is limited by a double ceiling consisting of:
- a maximum of 8 million shares, including the matching contribution (the Total Share Ceiling);
- and the cost of LINK 2026 (overall cost of the discount and the matching contribution) limited to 37.5 million euros (the Total Euro Ceiling). The Total Euro Ceiling comprises a sub-pool (Euro Sub-Pool) corresponding to the costs of the matching contribution, the discount on the employer's matching contribution and the discount linked to the matched personal contribution. The Euro Sub-Pool is limited to 22 million euros. N.B.: if the Total Euro Ceiling is not reached, the unused amount will be added to the Euro Sub-Pool, thereby potentially avoiding a reduction in the amount in the sub-pool.
If several ceilings are exceeded, including the Euro Sub-Pool, the reduction can be made for each ceiling, simultaneously or successively
The amount of the ceiling will be divided by the number of participants in order to ascertain an average amount in euros to be allocated to each participant (the Average Sum Allocated);
- All applications for an amount that is lower than or equal to the Average Sum Allocated will be allocated in full;
- All applications for an amount higher than the Average Sum Allocated will be allocated, initially, up to the level of the Average Sum Allocated;
- Thereafter, the amount above the Average Sum Allocated will be reduced proportionally by applying an allocation rate that is determined on the basis of the amount still to be allocated in relation to the amount requested that exceeds the Average Sum Allocated.
If several payment methods are used, the reduction will be made according to the following order of priority:
- reallocation of assets from the "EGEPARGNE MONETAIRE" FCPE
- direct debit (one or six instalments) or credit card
- sums from the profit-sharing bonus and
- sums from the share bonus.
