Verallia, Europe’s leading and the world’s third-largest producer of glass packaging, has successfully completed its 10th employee shareholding offer. On June 18, 2026, over 3,000 employees in 9 countries subscribed to this programme and became partners in the Group’s development and performance.
For the first time, Verallia has decided to extend its offer to 0.7 percent of the share capital, compared with 0.5 percent in previous years, reflecting its intention to involve its employees more closely in the Group’s value creation. This programme enables everyone to benefit from exclusive conditions with a discount on the share price and a favourable matching contribution plan.
Following on from previous years, this 10th edition confirms the success of the Group’s CSR strategy. More than 3,000 employees, i.e. 35 percent of eligible employees in 9 countries, invested in the Group, benefiting from an attractive unit subscription price of EUR 18.29 (i.e. a 5 percent discount to the average Verallia share price on the Euronext Paris regulated market over the twenty trading days preceding May 4, 2026). Total employee investment (including the Company’s matching contribution) thus amounts to more than 12.5 million euros.
As of June 18, 2026, 683,967 new ordinary shares, representing nearly 0.54 percent of the share capital and voting rights, were issued by the Company. Since their creation, these operations have enabled more than 7percent of the share capital to be offered to employees, who now hold 4.49 percent (post employee share offering 2026 after capital increase) of the Company’s capital.
“This new edition of our employee shareholding offer confirms our employees’ confidence in Verallia’s strategy and its CSR ambitions. Despite a market environment that remains challenging, more than 3,000 of them chose to participate. We are very proud that nearly 50 percent of our employees worldwide have become shareholders of the Company over the past ten years. This initiative provides a concrete illustration of our ongoing commitment to value sharing,” said Patrice Lucas, CEO of Verallia.
