Dassault Systèmes announces the launch of a new global employee shareholding program

Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) today announces the launch of a global employee shareholding program.

After the success of a first employee shareholding program implemented in 2021, this new employee shareholding program will be offered to approximately 99% of Dassault Systèmes’ employees worldwide, as defined by the terms detailed in the appendix attached to this press release. For this offering, a capital increase reserved for the employees of up to 7 million of Dassault Systèmes shares should occur on June 15, 2023.

With this program, employees will be more closely involved in the development of Dassault Systèmes and benefit from the value they help create on a daily basis.

Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented: “’Harmonizing product, nature and life’ is the purpose we share and which drives Dassault Systèmes’ growth. Our company thinks of its development in an inclusive way and with a long-term focus – company growth and progress for everyone. That is why I am happy, once again, in agreement with the Board of Directors, to enable Dassault Systèmes’ employees, through our employee shareholding plan, to invest in our joint enterprise and continue to make it grow”.
