Capital increase 2025: Crédit Agricole opens to employees

Crédit Agricole SA has announced the launch of a capital increase reserved for the group's employees for 2025. This operation concerns more than 190,000 eligible employees and former employees. They will be able to subscribe to new shares in the company at a price 20% lower than the average opening price recorded between May 26 and June 20, 2025.

Subscription will be open from June 24 to July 8, 2025. The newly issued shares on August 28 will be eligible for dividends for the 2025 financial year. The issuance limit is set at 32 million shares, representing a total nominal value of €96 million. To mitigate the dilutive effect of this increase, a share buyback is being considered, subject to approval by the ECB. This strategy is aligned with the group's commitment to employee participation.
