The SUEZ Group launches its fifth employee shareholding plan

in France: SHARING 2021

Starting on January 15, 2021, SUEZ offers its nearly 30,000 employees in France the opportunity to subscribe to SHARING 2021, its fifth employee shareholding plan. The share subscription offer is part of the Group's policy to increase employee shareholding and falls in line with the SUEZ 2030 strategic plan, which involves increasing employee shareholding. The latter currently accounts for 4% of SUEZ's share capital.

The subscription offer is scheduled for international employees in the second half of 2021, allowing SUEZ to strengthen its relationship with all of its employees by offering them the possibility to be more closely involved in the Group's growth and overall performance.

Bertrand Camus, CEO of SUEZ, commented: "I have every confidence in our ability to come together and outperform to create more value for our clients, their satisfaction and the environment. The new SHARING 2021 offer helps us to remain united, confident and committed to our SUEZ 2030 strategic plan."

The terms and conditions of this offer are outlined in the appendix.

SHARING 2021 France options

As part of its SHARING 2021 plan, SUEZ is offering its employees a "multiple" plan under which the subscriber receives, at maturity, at least the amount of his/her personal contribution and an employer contribution limited to a gross amount of €500 to which is added a guaranteed return on the personal and employer contributions, or if it is higher, a multiple of the performance of SUEZ shares.

The shares will be subscribed by the beneficiaries via an employee shareholding fund1.

The subscription price will be equal to 85% of the average closing price of SUEZ shares on the Euronext Paris market during the 20 trading days preceding the date the subscription price is set by the Board of Directors or by the Chief Executive Officer acting by delegation.
