1 What is an employee shareholding plan?
An employee shareholding plan is a scheme enabling employees to acquire a stake in their company’s capital.
2 Why is EXOSENS offering me this plan?
EXOSENS wishes to involve you in the Group’s future by inviting you to become EXOSENS shareholders.

- Holding an employment contract in force up to and including October 8, 2025.
4 Can trainees participate?
No, insofar as a trainee does not have an employment contract with an EXOSENS Group company.
5 Can temporary workers subscribe?

- Complete the subscription screen by entering the amount of your subscription for each payment method you have chosen, and remember to confirm your subscription.
9 What happens if an employee loses his/her password?
If the password has been lost, he/she can contact his/her HR representative or manager.
10 Can employees cancel their subscription once it has been confirmed?
Yes, the subscription can be modified during the entire subscription period. It becomes definitive on October 8 at 23:59 (Paris time).
11 What is the maximum investment limit?
Your investment cannot exceed 25% of your 2024 gross annual remuneration (including premiums and bonuses).
A simulator is available on this website to help determine the maximum amount that can be invested in ExoShare.
12 What happens if investment limits are not complied with?
If the maximum investment limit is not respected and the employee is audited by the tax authorities, he/she may lose the benefit of the favorable tax and social security provisions associated with an employee shareholding plan.
13 What happens if the volume of subscriptions exceeds the number of shares allocated by EXOSENS under ExoShare?
ExoShare covers a maximum of 1,523,294 EXOSENS shares. Should the total amount subscribed by all participants exceed this limit, the highest subscriptions will be capped at a level that allows the total number of shares offered to be met. Subscriptions for an amount equal to or less than this “maximum” level will be met in full, and subscriptions for a higher amount will be limited to this level.
If you have opted for several payment methods, the reduction will apply in the following order of priority:
- Voluntary payments by direct debit from your bank account (SEPA) or bank transfer
- Voluntary payments via payroll deduction (where applicable)
This operation will be conditional upon the final allocation and payment of the shares.
