Through Link, you can invest in ENGIE shares on preferential terms. And build your savings at the same time!
Two options are available to you: Link Multiple and Link Classic.
Let’s take a look at the benefits of each option.
With Link Multiple:
- You are guaranteed to recover all your personal contribution in euros
- You receive a minimum return of 3% per year.
- Yes, it’s a minimum! If the ENGIE share price evolves favourably, you will benefit from the multiple effect and performance of above 3% per year
Protect your capital in euros and enjoy guaranteed minimum performance with Link Multiple! In return, you waive the discount on the share price, any dividends attached to your shares and part of the possible increase in the share price on exit.
To learn all about Link Multiple, watch the video on the Link website.
With Link Classic:
- You will receive a discount of 20% on the share price
- ENGIE will match your contribution up to €500
- Any dividends attached to your shares are reinvested and increase the value of your investment.
The value of your investment changes with the 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 fall in value!
Note that if you participate in Link in a country outside the Euro zone, your investment in foreign currency will be converted into euros to acquire ENGIE shares. At the end of the lock-in period, the amount you receive in foreign currency may be affected favourably or unfavourably by the fluctuation of exchange rates.
You can choose to invest in one or both of the options!
Your investment in Link Multiple and Link Classic is locked in for five years, except in the event of early release.

View the video to find out more about Link Multiple
With Link Multiple, you are guaranteed to receive a minimum return of 3% per year at the end of the lock-in period or in the event of early release. This return may be higher if the ENGIE share price is favourable.
Below are more details on how this return is calculated.
Depending on how the share price evolves during the lock-in period, you will receive an increase corresponding to the highest amount between:
- a guaranteed minimum return of 3% per year on your personal contribution; and
- a return equal to the Multiple, times the protected average increase of the ENGIE share price, times the number of FCPE shares subscribed.
What is the protected average increase?
The calculation involves comparing the average ENGIE share price over 5 years with the reference price, which will be known on 23 September 2024.
This average is calculated using 60 monthly recordings of the share price made on a fixed date.
Two situations are possible each month:
- The share price recorded is higher than or equal to the reference price: it is this price that is recorded.
- The share price recorded is lower than the reference price: in this case, instead of the actual price, the reference price is used. This is why we talk about a protected average.
The difference between the average of these recordings and the reference price is the "protected average increase".
On vesting or in the event of early release, you will receive your personal contribution, plus the higher amount between
- A guaranteed return of 3% per annum, or
- A return equal to the Multiple, times the average protected increase, times the number of FCPE shares subscribed to in the Link Multiple form.
Note that if you participate in Link in a country outside the Euro zone, your investment in foreign currency will be converted into euros to acquire ENGIE shares. 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 receive in foreign currency may be affected favourably or unfavourably by the fluctuation of exchange rates.
