Capgemini Announces Share Capital Reduction

On December 19, 2024, Capgemini SE reported a reduction in its share capital by 1,260,642 shares, equating to a 0.7% decrease from December 31, 2023. The company now holds 171,347,471 shares in total. This reduction highlights Capgemini’s strategy of aligning employee engagement with company performance while providing appealing returns to shareholders through a decrease in outstanding shares.

The decrease primarily results from two factors: a capital increase of 2.70 million shares under the 11th employee share ownership plan (ESOP) and the cancellation of 3.97 million treasury shares. These treasury shares were initially acquired to offset the dilution caused by the ESOP, alongside Capgemini's ongoing share buyback program.
