Voltalia (Euronext Paris ISIN code: FR0011995588), international player in
renewable energies, announces the results of its employee share ownership
plan launched on September 26.
"We are very pleased to announce that our first employee share ownership
plan has been a great success. The participation rate is close to 70%! It
shows the commitment of Voltalians to our mission and their confidence in
future growth. This result reinforces our strategy to make our employees,
who embody Voltalia's entrepreneurship, long-term beneficiaries of the value
creation of the company, "commented Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.
From September 26 to October 8, Voltalia employees were given the
possibility to participate in a first share ownership plan in the three main
countries of the company: Portugal, Brazil and France. The eligible
population represented 73.7% of employees.
For a first launch, this plan was very successful with an excellent
subscription rate of 69.5%:
* participation rates reached 51.5% in Portugal, 72.9% in Brazil and 80.3%
in France;
* the participation rate is 68.0% for Voltalia employees and 81.5% for
Helexia employees. Helexia employees were added to the plan following the
recent completion of the acquisition by Voltalia, showing a remarkable level
of support to the joint business project.
Voltalia ranks among the companies with the highest participation rate for a
program integrating an international scope, according to the figures of the
French Federation of Employee Shareholder Associations (FAS). Building on
this first success, Voltalia is considering other plans, aimed at making
employee share ownership a sustainable lever for employee loyalty and the
alignment of the interests of all stakeholders.
