Schneider Electric Initiates Employee-Reserved Capital Increase

Schneider Electric, headquartered in Rueil-Malmaison, France, announced plans on January 30, 2026, to launch a capital increase for employees. This initiative aligns with the company's ongoing strategy to enhance employee shareholding. The offering targets Group employees across 46 countries, comprising about 85% of its workforce.

The company’s Board of Directors has empowered the CEO to offer up to 3.7 million shares, representing approximately 0.645% of the share capital as of December 31, 2025. Employees can subscribe to shares directly or through a fonds commun de placement d’entreprise (FCPE) at 85% of the reference price. The subscription phase is anticipated in Q2 2026, with payment and delivery set for Q3 2026.

The aim of this initiative is to foster stronger ties between employees and the company, encouraging involvement in Schneider Electric’s future performance. New shares will be available for trading on Euronext Paris.
