Verallia, Europe's leading and the world's third-largest producer of glass packaging, successfully completed its 10th employee shareholding offer on June 18, 2026. Over 3,000 employees across 9 countries subscribed to the program, resulting in a total investment of more than €12.5 million, including the company's matching contribution. This initiative underscores the company's commitment to value sharing and involving employees in its growth.

The 10th edition of the offer saw Verallia extend the allocation to 0.7% of the share capital, compared to 0.5% in previous years. A total of 683,967 new ordinary shares were issued, representing nearly 0.54% of the share capital and voting rights. Since the inception of these programs, more than 7% of the share capital has been offered to employees, who now hold 4.49% of the company's capital.

The subscription price was set at 18.29 euros per share, reflecting a 5% discount to the average Verallia share price on the Euronext Paris regulated market over the twenty trading days preceding May 4, 2026. The program achieved a 35% participation rate among eligible employees.
