SOPRA STERIA GROUP AND THE STOCK MARKET Employee share ownership

3. Employee share ownership

At 31 December 2017, under Group employee savings plans, employees of the Company and of related companies within the meaning of Article L. 225-180 of the French Commercial Code held a total of 1,044,365 Sopra Steria Group shares and 1,527,703 voting rights, representing 5.1% of the share capital and 5.7% of voting rights. This employee share ownership is mainly a result of the 2014 merger with Groupe Steria and the tendering by the FCPE Groupe Steriactions mutual fund of all of its Groupe Steria shares to the public exchange offer.

From 2016, this plan was supplemented by an annual employee share ownership plan enabling employees who participated in this offer to acquire 215,094 shares, representing 1.05% of the share capital (including the matching employer contribution), in 2017. After taking into account shares acquired by employees under a share incentive plan in the UK managed by the SIP Trust, and those held by other UK trusts for which employees in the UK and India may be eligible, in particular through employee shareholding, all holdings managed on behalf of employees at 31 December 2017 represented 7.0% of the share capital and 7.4% of the voting rights.

4. Voting rights

In accordance with the decision made at the Combined General Meeting of 27 June 2014, double voting rights were introduced on 7 July 2014 for all fully paid-up shares held in registered form in the same shareholder’s name for at least two years.

At 31 December 2017, the total number of voting rights that could be exercised was 26,677,398 and the total number of theoretical voting rights was 26,690,112.
