FAQs

• What is Elis for All?

  Elis for All is the name of the Elis Group’s employee share ownership plan. By launching its seventh plan, Elis aims to make employee share ownership a key driver of both its growth and employee engagement.

• Am I buying Elis shares directly when I subscribe to Elis for All?

  Yes. By subscribing to Elis for All, you are directly purchasing Elis shares, which will be registered in your name.

  These shares are offered at a preferential price, meaning you benefit from a discount on the market value at the time of subscription.

  This means that while you are buying shares at a reduced price, the actual value of your shares is based on the market price.

• Who can participate?

  This capital increase is reserved for all Elis Group employees and its subsidiaries. To be eligible, you must:

  • Be employed by the Group, and
  • Have at least three months of seniority as of the opening date of the subscription period.
     
• How much can I invest?

  The minimum investment amount is €50.

  The maximum amount is capped at 25% of your estimated 2026 gross annual salary, up to a maximum of €50,000.

• At what price will the shares be offered to employees?

  The reference price will be confirmed and announced on 11 September 2026. Employees  will benefit from a 30% discount on this reference price. It is calculated as the average of the 20 opening stock prices from 18 August to 11 September 2026, inclusive. 

• What is the discount?

  The discount is a reduction on the reference share price offered by Elis to allow employees to purchase shares at a preferential rate. For this plan, the discount is 30%.

• What is the matching contribution?

  In this plan, Elis will offers 1 free share for every 10 shares subscribed. The matching contribution is an additional share granted by the company, based on your investment, and acquired at the end of the 3-year lock-in period, provided you are still employed by the Group at that time.

• How can I pay for my subscription?

  Subscription payment procedures depend on whether your currency is Euro or non-Euro: please refer to your local supplement available in the "useful documents" section.

• Can I change or cancel my subscription after the subscription period ends?

  No. Once the subscription period ends, your commitment becomes final.

• What happens during the lock-in period?

  Once the subscription is complete, your assets are locked for 3 years, meaning they will be unavailable until November 2028, except in the event of an early release authorized by law.

  During this period, your investment follows the Elis share price both upward and downward.

  Any dividends will be automatically reinvested in the FCPE and will increase your number of units.

• What happens after the three year lock-in period?

  Your assets will remain accessible at any time once the 3-year lock-in period has expired. You are not required to withdraw your assets at the end of the lock-in period: you can freely extend your investment.

• What is the difference between the reference price and the subscription price?

  The reference price is the standard market price of the shares, while the subscription price is the reduced price you pay, equal to the reference price minus a 30% discount, with the added benefit of receiving one free share for every ten purchased through the employer matching contribution.

• What are the early release cases?

  Cases of early release allowed by law depend on the country you are in. In the United Kingdom, the lock-up period may be waived only in the following circumstances:

  • Marriage or civil partnership;
  • Birth or adoption of a third child, provided the household is already financially responsible for at least two children;
  • Divorce or separation, where a court decision specifies that the sole or shared residence of at least one child is at the employee’s home;
  • Disability of the employee, their spouse/civil partner, or their children, as defined by applicable law;
  • Death of the employee or their spouse/civil partner;
  • Termination of the employment contract;
  • Use of the invested funds to create or acquire a business by the employee, their children, or their spouse/civil partner, in accordance with applicable law;
  • Financial hardship, as determined by applicable law and interpreted by the employer;
  • Acquisition or enlargement of the principal residence;
  • Situation of domestic violence, as recognised by a competent authority;
  • Restoration of the principal residence following damage caused by a recognised natural disaster;
  • Energy renovation of the principal residence in accordance with applicable regulations;
  • Caregiver activity carried out by the employee or their spouse/civil partner;
  • Purchase of a clean vehicle (category M1 car, van, two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, or quadricycle powered exclusively by electricity, hydrogen, or a combination of both) or a new electrically assisted bicycle.
