VALUE SHARING: RENAULT GROUP LAUNCHES ITS THIRD EMPLOYEE SHARE OWNERSHIP PLAN AS PART OF THE RENAULUTION

• To further support employee share ownership and build on the nearly 5.07% of equity already held by employees at 31 December 2023, Renault Group is announcing a new plan. Held for the third consecutive year, this latest plan confirms the Group’s ambition to increase employee-held equity to 10% by 2030.
• Seven free shares will be allocated to eligible Group employees in 30 countries. Employees in 24 countries will be able to acquire shares at a 30% discount with an additional matching contribution.
• The reference share price for the plan is 41.80 euros, i.e. a subscription price of 29.26 euros after the discount. The subscription period will run from 18 September to 2 October 2024 (inclusive).

Boulogne-Billancourt, 6 September 2024 – Renault Group believes that employees should benefit directly from the company’s performance. Two years ago, it launched its first employee share ownership plan. Following the success of the Renaulution Shareplan in 2022 and 2023, Renault Group is repeating this initiative in 2024, with the aim of enabling nearly 98,000 employees to become company shareholders on preferential terms. The plan reflects the Group’s ambition of increasing employee-held equity to 10% by 2030, and strengthening employee commitment to the company’s performance and ambitions.

“The new 2024 Renaulution Shareplan is an extremely important initiative in my eyes. Our employee share ownership plan is one of the most advanced seen in any sector of industry. Renault Group’s commitment to this plan over the past two years is in keeping with its self-image as a company innovating in all areas, maintaining its tradition as a social laboratory, but anchored in the present day! And with the ambition of placing 10% of equity in the hands of the people building our performance, day after day.” Luca de Meo, CEO Renault Group

98,000 eligible employees in 30 countries receiving seven free shares
