France-based TotalEnergies has announced the renewed success of its latest employee share offering, which was approved by the board of directors last year.
Employees working for TotalEnergies SE or any subsidiaries in which it has 50% direct or indirect capital or voting rights could subscribe. Based on the company’s formula, shares were offered at €62 each, a substantial discount on the €69 at which they were trading at the time of writing.
During the June 3–17 subscription period, over half of eligible employees (59,366) and past employees over 97 countries subscribed.
For TotalEnergies, which also makes Total industrial lubricant and coolant products, this resulted in €310.5 million in capital increase. It issued 5,548,563 fresh shares to subscribers that will be fully integrated with the company’s existing shares listed on the NYSE and Euronext and immediately qualify for dividends.
TotalEnergies CEO and Chairman Patrick Pouyanné commented that owning shares was the most suitable way to connect employees with the success of the company. He added:
“The continued high level of participation, with more than half the employees of the Company subscribing to this capital increase reserved for them, once again demonstrates their strong and lasting confidence in the Company’s strategy and its ability to take advantage of a global environment marked by uncertainty while capturing market volatility.”
He also said it was the tenth year in a row that this global operation had been rolled out. He added that this demonstrates the mutual commitment between TotalEnergies and its employees and highlights how successes will be shared, both now and in the future.
