Verallia Continues Its Commitment to Value Sharing by Finalizing the 10th Edition of Its Employee Shareholding Offer

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Verallia (Paris:VRLA), Europe’s leading and the world’s third-largest producer of glass packaging, has successfully completed its 10th employee shareholding offer. On 18 June 2026, over 3,000 employees in 9 countries subscribed to this programme and became partners in the Group's development and performance. For the first time, Verallia has decided to extend its offer to 0.7% of the share capital, compared with 0.5% in previous years, reflecting its intention to involve its employees more closely in the Group’s value creation. This programme enables everyone to benefit from exclusive conditions with a discount on the share price and a favourable matching contribution plan.

Following on from previous years, this 10th edition confirms the success of the Group's CSR strategy. More than 3,000 employees, i.e. 35% of eligible employees in 9 countries, invested in the Group, benefiting from an attractive unit subscription price of 18.29 euros¹. Total employee investment (including the Company's matching contribution) thus amounts to more than 12.5 million euros.

As of June 18, 2026, 683,967 new ordinary shares, representing nearly 0.54% of the share capital and voting rights, were issued by the Company. Since their creation, these operations have enabled more than 7% of the share capital to be offered to employees, who now hold 4.49%² of the Company’s capital.

This new edition of our employee shareholding offer confirms our employees’ confidence in Verallia’s strategy and its CSR ambitions. Despite a market environment that remains challenging, more than 3,000 of them chose to participate. We are very proud that nearly 50% of our employees worldwide have become shareholders of the Company over the past ten years. This initiative provides a concrete illustration of our ongoing commitment to value sharing,” said Patrice Lucas, CEO of Verallia.
