Key features

Advantages

Participation in Link Classic offers you:

• A 20% discount
  The 20% discount on the reference price enables you to increase your returns and minimize potential losses depending on how the share price performs.
• Free shares, delivered after 5 years, based on your investment up to €450
  The Group grants 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 are entitled to 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.

The free shares will be delivered in 5 years’ time¹ (on an individual registered shareholder account[2]) provided that you have not left the Group before August 31, 2027.

Your investments entitle you to:

• Potential dividends
  Any dividends and income associated with individual shares will be paid to you directly. Once you have owned your shares for two years, you may be entitled to a bonus of 10% on dividends, where applicable.
  
  
• Voting rights associated with the shares
  
  
• Potential returns on your investments
  Your potential returns² (excluding any impact resulting from exchange rates) correspond to the sale price of your shares (including free shares), valued based on ENGIE’s share price minus the amount of your personal contribution³.
  
  

Your potential returns also depend on the fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates and may go up or down.

What does Link Classic entail?

• Your investment tracks the share price both upward and downward, so your investment carries a risk of capital loss.
• Depending on the share price when you sell your shares, they might be worth less than your personal contribution.
• Your investment is locked in for 5 years, i.e. until December 22, 2027, except in the event of early release.
• If you are in a country outside of the Eurozone, the value of your investment also depends on the fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates and may go up or down.

What happens to your investment at the end of the lock-in period?

You will own ENGIE shares, locked in for 5 years (except in the case of early release—refer to your “Local Supplement”), after which you may choose between:

• keeping your shares in your registered shareholder account, or
• selling all or part of your shares.

The free shares will be delivered to you in 5 years’ time,⁴ provided that you have not left the Group before August 31, 2027. After December 22, 2027, you will be free to sell all or part of your stock.
