In brief

Advantages

By participating in Link Classic, you enjoy:

• A 20% discount
  Through the 20% discount on the reference price you increase your profits and minimise your potential losses depending on share price trends.
• Free shares issued to you in 5 years’ time based on your investment up to € 450
  The Group allocates you free shares based on the amount of your investment in Link Classic, in accordance with the regulations of the Link 2022 free share allocation plan, using the following rule:

With a payment of €300, you enjoy the maximum number of free shares.

The total number of free shares is determined based on the subscription price paid at the time of your participation in Link 2022 and rounded down to the next whole number.

Free shares will be issued in 5 years’ time¹ (in the Link International FCPE²) provided that you have not left the Group before 31 August 2027.

Through your investments, you enjoy:

• Potential dividends
  Potential dividends and any income associated with each share will be reinvested in the Link Classic 2022 sub-fund of the Link International FCPE, thereby increasing the value of your holdings.
  After holding the shares for two years, the FCPE may benefit, where applicable, from the dividend plus a 10% bonus, which will further enhance the value of your investment.
  
  
• Potential profit
  The potential return³ corresponds to the redemption price of your units valued according to the ENGIE share price + the value of your free shares – the amount of your personal contribution⁴. 
  
  

Your potential profit takes account of any dividends that will be automatically reinvested in the FCPE and increase the value of your holdings.

What does Link Classic entail?

• Your investment tracks the share price both upward and downward, so 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.
• Your investment is locked in for five years, i.e. until 22/12/2027, except in the event of early release.
• If you are located in a country outside the eurozone, the value of your investment also depends on the fluctuation of the foreign currency exchange rates and may go up or down.
