PLEDGE OF SHARES As at 31December 2022, employee shareholding, based on plans already allocated and/or vested, involved a significant part of the Group’s workforce, accounting for the holding of 1,032,707 Hermès International shares, representing 0.98% of the share capital. Taking into account rights under the last 2019 plans, employee shareholding involved approximately 11,000 Group employees (rights vesting at end‑2022).

Maison Hermès, faithful to its family tradition, involves all of its employees throughout the world with in the Group’s growth, through employee shareholding mechanisms, which form part of the Group’s long‑term compensation policy and which help to motivate and retain its employees for the future. Thus, the Hermès Group has offered free share plans five times to its employees, in France and internationally; these were granted in 2007, 2010, 2012, 2016 and 2019 (see chapter 3 “Corporate governance”, §3.8.3). The latest plans have been implemented by the Executive Management in accordance with the authorisation granted by the General Meeting of 4June 2019 in its 15th resolution. Thus, on 1July 2019, the Executive Management decided to implement two new free share allocation plans for all employees of the Group subject to eligibility, notably in terms of seniority, subject to the mechanisms applicable to existing free share plans, in particular concerning the reference and retention periods. These allocations are subject to presence conditions and, where applicable, performance conditions, with vesting periods of four to five years.

Duly registered shares are not encumbered by any material pledges.
