Capgemini SE has entered into a share buyback agreement to neutralize the shareholder dilution from its thirteenth Employee Share Ownership Plan, the company announced on October 6, 2026. Under the agreement with an investment services provider that is also structuring the ESOP, Capgemini has undertaken to repurchase up to 3.0 million of its own shares at a maximum average buyback price of 200 euros per share, for cancellation. The buyback is separate from the €2 billion multi-year envelope announced on July 30, 2025, and follows the September 10, 2026 launch of the ESOP and the Board of Directors' authorization of a dedicated buyback envelope. The repurchase will be completed before December 17, 2026, when the ESOP capital increase reserved for employees takes effect, adding a maximum of 3.0 million shares, or 1.77% of existing share capital, with no material impact on the Group's cash position and no significant dilution of existing shareholders. Buyback transactions under the agreement will cease no later than November 4, 2026, with the price per share calculated on the volume-weighted average daily share prices over a maximum of 20 trading days starting October 8, 2026.
