L’Oréal announces launch of new employee share plan

The Group confirms, with this 5th plan, its ambition to renew this operation every year

L’Oréal today announces the launch of its fifth employee share ownership plan, allowing employees to purchase L’Oréal shares and more closely participate in the company’s development. This plan will be rolled out in all countries where it is feasible[1], 62 in total. It will offer a maximum of 300,000 shares, or 25,000 more than last year.

“Sharing economic value with those who contribute to it has always been at the heart of our corporate culture. That’s why we have conducted four global employee share ownership plans since 2018. We are proud that today, more than 45,000 of our employees, representing almost half of our workforce, are shareholders.” said Nicolas Hieronimus, CEO of L’Oréal Groupe. “In line with the ambition we shared last year, and building on the success of previous initiatives, we are renewing this initiative today and aim to repeat it every year.”

Beneficiaries will have the possibility to purchase L’Oréal shares in a ‘classic’ subscription formula, where the value of their investment will vary with changes in the L’Oréal share price. They will also benefit from a matching contribution, subject to the terms and conditions described in the plan documentation.

Key dates and figures:

• The plan offers a maximum number of 300,000 shares, including employer contribution.
• The subscription period will run from June 11, 2025 to June 25, 2025.
• Settlement, or payment delivery, is planned for July 29, 2025.

The share purchase price was set on 6 June 2025 and is equal to the average of the opening price of L’Oréal shares on the Euronext Paris exchange over the twenty trading days preceding the decision, after a 20% discount.

Shares purchased in registered form, as well as employee shareholding fund units, will be blocked for a five-year period, subject to early release exceptions defined by applicable regulations in France and the other countries in which the offer is made available.

The application for admission to trading on the Euronext Paris exchange of the shares issued will be filed as soon as possible after the capital increase. They will be listed under the same code as the existing shares (ISIN code: FR0000120321) and will be fungible with those shares from their admission to trading.
