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

The total impact of these plans on the 2020 income statement was euro 55 million (excluding taxes and social security charges), compared to euro 49 million in 2019 (see Note 4).

With regard to the free share plans granted subject to performance conditions, and for which performance has not yet been definitively measured as of December 31, 2020, the probability of meeting the targets set in respect of the calculation of the 2020 expense has been estimated as follows:

  • for performance plans measured over a one-year period, in respect of 2020 performance:
  • Sapient 2018, 2019 and 2020 performance plans: 100%,
  • 2019-2021 Epsilon Replacement Plan and LTI Epsilon 2020 Plan: 100%,
  • 2019 Special Retention Plan: 100%;
  • for performance plans measured over a three-year period, in respect of the three-year period performance: LTI 2019-2021 Directoire Plan: 100%.
