Amundi, the global asset management firm, has launched a capital increase reserved for employees, under the initiative named We Share Amundi. Scheduled between 15–26 September 2025, this offering allows eligible staff to buy shares at a 30% discount, reinforcing the company’s commitment to employee engagement and shared ownership.
The move builds on a tradition of employee participation: Amundi staff currently hold 2.1% of the company’s share capital. This year, the offering is capped at 1,000,000 shares, representing less than 0.5% of the company’s capital and voting rights, ensuring minimal impact on net earnings per share.
Who Can Participate
The offering is open to:
-
Employees of Amundi Group companies in France and 16 other countries, including Austria, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the UK.
-
Employees with at least three months of service between 1 January 2024 and the subscription period.
-
Retired French employees who retain assets in Amundi’s company savings plans (PEE).
Subscriptions can be made via FCPE funds or, in certain countries, directly. Employees can invest up to €40,000, financed through voluntary contributions or available PEE assets. A five-year lock-up period applies, with provisions for early exit events under plan rules.
Key Dates and Terms
-
Subscription window: 15–26 September 2025
-
Capital increase: 23 October 2025
-
Listing of new shares: 27 October 2025 on Euronext Paris

If subscription requests exceed the maximum allocation, smaller subscriptions are prioritized, with larger subscriptions adjusted via successive caps. Voting rights for shares held through funds are exercised by fund supervisory boards; directly held shares retain subscriber voting rights.
Strategic Significance
By extending this offering, Amundi reinforces employee participation in the company’s growth and value creation, fostering a stronger sense of belonging. The initiative also aligns with broader trends among financial institutions to strengthen employee ownership programs as a tool for retention and engagement.
Amundi emphasizes that the offering is strictly reserved for eligible employees and compliant with local regulatory approvals in participating countries.
