Verallia completes 10th employee shareholding offer with over 3,000 subscribers
Verallia has finalized the 10th edition of its employee shareholding offer, with more than 3,000 employees across 9 countries subscribing and becoming partners in the Group's development. For the first time, the offer was extended to 0.7% of the share capital, up from 0.5% in previous years, reflecting a stronger commitment to involving employees in value creation. The subscription price was set at 18.29 euros per share, representing a 5% discount to the average share price over the twenty trading days preceding May 4, 2026, and total employee investment, including the company's matching contribution, exceeded 12.5 million euros. As a result, 683,967 new ordinary shares were issued, representing nearly 0.54% of the share capital and voting rights, and employees now hold 4.49% of the company's capital. CEO Patrice Lucas noted that nearly 50% of employees worldwide have become shareholders over the past ten years, illustrating the Group's ongoing commitment to value sharing.
