Success of the 2025 employee share offering, with a special initiative this year to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the AXA brand

December 3, 2025

published at 5:50 PM CET

AXA announced today the successful completion of its 2025 employee share offering (Shareplan 2025), which was launched in September 2025 and included an exceptional matching contribution to mark the 40th anniversary of the AXA brand.

Approximately 42,000 employees in 40 countries, representing more than 36% of eligible employees, subscribed to Shareplan 2025.

The aggregate proceeds of the Shareplan 2025 offering, in France and abroad, amount to approximately Euro 435 million*, corresponding to close to 13 million newly issued shares (i.e., 0.60 % of outstanding AXA shares), and increasing the total number of outstanding AXA shares to 2,136,232,264. To eliminate the dilutive effect of the Shareplan 2025 offering, AXA will repurchase and, subject to regulatory approval, cancel the same number of shares as were newly issued in connection with Shareplan 2025, in accordance with its share repurchase program authorized by the Shareholders’ Meeting of April 24, 2025.

Following Shareplan 2025, AXA’s employees hold 4.82% of AXA’s share capital and 6.61% of its voting rights.

* Including Euro 24 million related to the matching contribution.

Thomas Buberl

Chief Executive Officer of AXA

The excellent results of our Shareplan 2025 reflect our employees’ confidence in the Group’s strategy and development. Since its launch in 1993, Shareplan has been a highly anticipated annual event that is resilient across economic cycles and embraced with enthusiasm. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the AXA brand, the Group proposed an exceptional offer, whose success demonstrates that value-sharing - first and foremost with our teams - remains more than ever at the heart of our corporate culture.

Helen Browne

Director representing the employees shareholders

Shareplan is one of the Group’s most powerful levers to strengthen alignment among our teams by involving our employees closely in the Group's long-term performance. The special offer celebrating the 40th anniversary of the AXA brand was a great success with our colleagues participating in large numbers and taking full advantage of the matching contribution from AXA. This strong level of engagement reflects our employees’ on-going confidence in the Group and our collective commitment to sharing in the success of the Group, anchored in AXA's culture. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked on making this exceptional offer possible and to all the participants for their trust.
