ENGIE

Link is your exclusive employee shareholding scheme Thanks to Link, you can invest in ENGIE shares on preferential and tax-friendly terms. And establish a savings fund for yourselves!

Two options are offered to you: Link Multiple and Link Classic.

Below are the benefits of each option.

With Link Multiple:

• You are guaranteed to recover your personal contribution
• You will receive a minimum return of 2% per year.
• This is just the minimum! If the progression of the ENGIE share price allows for it, you will benefit from the multiple effect and therefore from a performance exceeding 2% per year

Protect your capital and benefit from a guaranteed minimum performance with Link Multiple! In return, you waive the discount on the share price, potential dividends attached to your shares and a part of the potential increase in the share price on exit.

With Link Classic:

• You will benefit from a discount of 20% on the share price
• ENGIE will give you free shares up to a maximum value of €450
• The potential dividends attached to your shares will be reinvested and will increase the value of your investment

Your investment follows the ENGIE share price, both upwards and downwards. It is not guaranteed and therefore there is a risk of capital loss. However, you should be aware that the discount, the matching contribution and any potential dividends act as a “shock absorber” in the event of a decrease!

Please note that if you invest in Link in a country outside the eurozone, your investment currency will be converted into euros to acquire the ENGIE shares. At the end of the lock-in period, the amount you will receive in the investment currency may be affected favourably or unfavourably by the fluctuation in exchange rates.

Your investment in Link Multiple and Link Classic is locked in for five years, except in the event of early release.

You can invest in one or both options!

With Link Multiple, at the end of the lock-in period or in the case of early release, you are guaranteed to receive a minimum return of 2% per year. This return may be higher if the ENGIE share price is favourable.

Below are more details on how this return is calculated 

Depending on the progression of the share price during the lock-in period, you will receive a return based on the higher amount between:

• a guaranteed minimum return of 2% per year on your initial investment, and
• a return equal to x times the protected average increase of the ENGIE share x the number of shares subscribed.

What is the protected average increase?

The calculation consists of comparing the average of the ENGIE share price over five years with the reference price, which will be published on 15 November 2022.

This average is calculated on the basis of 60 monthly share price readings performed on a set date. 

Thus, each month, two scenarios are possible:

• The share price reading is higher than or equal to the reference price: it is this price that is recorded.  
• The share price reading is lower than the reference price: in which case, instead of the real price, the reference price is used. This is why it is called the protected average.

The difference between the average of these readings and the reference price is known as the “protected average increase”.

At maturity or in the event of early release, you will receive your personal contribution, plus the higher amount of: 

• A guaranteed return of 2 % per year, or
• A return equal to x times the protected average increase x the number of FCPE shares subscribed to in Link Multiple

Please note that if you invest in Link in a country outside the eurozone, your investment currency will be converted into euros to acquire the ENGIE shares. Please note that the guarantee offered by Link Multiple does not cover foreign exchange risk. At the end of the lock-in period, the amount you will receive in the investment currency may be affected favourably or unfavourably by the fluctuation in exchange rates.
