FAURECIA ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF ITS
FIRST EMPLOYEE SHARE OWNERSHIP PROGRAM
Faurecia, one of the world’s leading automotive
technology companies, announces the launch of a non-dilutive
employee share ownership plan following the distribution of
Faurecia shares held by Stellantis. This plan, known as
"Faur'ESO" (Faurecia Employee Share Ownership), is
designed to strengthen employee engagement and involve employees
closely in the Group's future development and performance. On
Capital Markets Day held on February 22, 2021, the Group detailed
its ambitious medium term objectives for value creation, in
particular its target to reach €25 billion sales and an operating
margin above 8% of sales in 2025, and a cumulated net cash flow
above €4 billion over five years (2021-2025). This first operation
involves a maximum of 2% of the Company's share capital and will be
deployed in 15 countries, targeting 90% of the Group's
employees.
Patrick Koller, Faurecia's Chief Executive
Officer, stated: " 2021 is a year of new perspectives for Faurecia
and we open a new chapter in our history. This plan reaffirms our
ambition to associate our employees even more closely with
Faurecia's transformation to meet the new challenges of mobility.
Once this operation is completed our employee shareholders will
represent up to 2.6% of shareholders».
The main features of the Faur'ESO plan are
described below.
·Characteristics of the
employee shareholding offerThe shares will be subscribed
by the beneficiaries either directly or through an employee
shareholding fund (FCPE), depending on their country of
residence.
The offer will include two formulas for which
the subscription price will benefit from a 20% discount on the
reference price as well as a matching contribution paid by the
Group.
- A "classic" formula in which the subscriber is exposed to
fluctuations in the Faurecia share price, while the discount and
the matching contribution minimize the potential losses and
increase the potential gains.
- A "multiple" formula in which the subscriber receives at
maturity at least the amount of his or her personal contribution
plus either a guaranteed return or, if higher, a multiple of the
performance of Faurecia’s share price. In some countries, the
mechanism of the « multiple » formula could be
materialized by the allocation of Stock Appreciation Rights
(SAR).
-
Indicative schedule of the
operation
The indicative schedule of the operation is
detailed hereunder, it being stipulated that the final dates will
be fixed by the Chief Executive Officer.
- Opening of the initial « reservation » period: from May 7, 2021
to May 21, 2021.
- Subscription price fixed on June 22, 2021.
- « Subscription/retractation » period: from June 23, 2021 to
June 25, 2021.
- Shares delivery: July 28, 2021
The Faur'ESO offer will be carried out through a
capital increase. To neutralize the dilutive effect, the Board of
Directors has authorized a budget dedicated to a share buyback
program.
-
Structuring hedging operation
The so-called “multiple” formula implies that
the bank structuring the offer carries out
hedging transactions, both on and off the market, through the
purchase and/or sale of Faurecia shares, the purchase of call
options and/or any other transactions, at any time, both prior
and during the entire duration of
the Faur'ESO offer.
