 (3) The Management Board meeting of July 15, 2019 only granted the first third of plan shares, namely 207,461 shares. Two other tranches comprising 207,461 and 213,759 shares, respectively, will be granted by the Management Board at its meetings in March 2020 and March 2021.

Effect of share subscription or stock option plans and free share plans on profit (loss)

The total impact of these plans on the 2019 income statement was euro 49 million (excluding taxes and social security charges), compared to euro 63 million in 2018 (see Note 3 “Personnel expenses”).
With regard to the free share plans granted subject to non-market performance conditions, and for which performances have not yet been definitively measured as of December 31, 2019, the probability of meeting the targets set in respect of the calculation of the 2019 expense has been estimated as follows:

  • Sprint to the future – Performance de la période 2018-2020 : 0 %.

The condition for achieving the organic growth target (2018- 2020 average) cannot be satisfied given the performance levels already recorded for 2018 and 2019. Failure to satisfy this condition results in a loss of all entitlement to shares awarded at the outset of the plan (save any contractual provision to the contrary).

  • LTIP 2019 Plan – Performance for 2019: 50%.
  • Sapient 2017, 2018 and 2019 performance plans – Performance for 2019: 50%.
  • LTIP “Directoire” 2019-2021 Plan – Performance for the 2019- 2021 period: 100%.
  • Epsilon Replacement Plan 2019-2021 – Performance for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021: 100%.
  • Special Retention Plan 2019-2022 – Performance for the years 2020, 2021 and 2022: 100%.
