As part of performance share allocation plans and after having obtained the necessary regulatory authorisation, Amundi is announcing the launch of a share repurchase programme, via a mandate agreed with an Investment Services Provider (Kepler Cheuvreux).
In accordance with the authorisation granted by the Ordinary General Meeting of 24 May 2024 and delegated by the Board of Directors to the Chief Executive Officer, the share repurchase programme will have the following features:
Objective
Shares will be acquired for the purpose of covering the performance share allocation plans that have already been allocated and those in the future.

By repurchasing shares, the company can efficiently manage its capital structure to support the allocation of performance shares to employees, thereby aligning their interests with the company’s overall performance.
Share repurchase programs are a common strategy used by companies to signal confidence in their own stock and to improve financial metrics such as earnings per share. By reducing the number of outstanding shares in the market, a share repurchase can also increase the stock price, benefiting existing shareholders.
For Amundi, this initiative reflects a commitment to driving long-term sustainable growth and rewarding employees for their contributions to the company’s success. By repurchasing shares to support performance share allocation plans, Amundi is reinforcing its position as a leading global asset management company with a focus on delivering value to stakeholders.
