News provided byElis · 2 min read
Puteaux, September 3, 2026, Elis, a leading European logistics and transportation company, has announced a significant step in its employee engagement strategy with the launch of a 2026 “Elis for All” employee share ownership plan. This initiative aims to enhance the sense of ownership and involvement among employees by granting them shares in the company.
Under the plan, Elis will issue two types of shares, with no preferential subscription rights, to its employees. The first issuance will be reserved for employees participating in the Elis Group Savings Plan, while the second will be distributed to employees of Elis' foreign subsidiaries. The total share issuance is capped at 2,000,000 euros, representing 0.86% of the company’s existing share capital.
Employees eligible for the plan will benefit from a 30% discount on the reference price and a matching contribution of one share for every ten shares subscribed. The shares will confer full voting rights from the date of issuance, and employees will have the opportunity to influence the company’s future development and performance through their ownership.
The offering is open to employees in France who have a minimum of three months of seniority as of September 15, 2026, and to employees in Elis' foreign subsidiaries located in Andorra, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Switzerland. The subscription price will be determined by the Chairman of the Management Board based on the average opening price of Elis shares on the Euronext Paris market during the 20 trading days preceding the decision to open the subscription period, with a 30% discount.
Employees can subscribe either through an employee shareholding fund called "FCPE Elis for All Relais 2026" or directly, depending on their country of employment. The subscription period will run from September 15 to October 1, 2026. Following the completion of the capital increases on November 10, 2026, the newly issued shares will be listed on the Euronext Paris regulated market.
To ensure long-term engagement, the plan includes a lock-up period. French employees will be required to hold their shares for five years, while employees in Elis' foreign subsidiaries will need to keep their shares for three years, unless early exit conditions are met.
For further details on the offering, employees are encouraged to contact their designated point of contact as provided in the documentation.
