Early Exit Events

Your purchased shares are subject to a holding period, during which time you are not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of them unless you qualify for an early exit event.

The early exit events may change with each new plan, so it’s important to check the details below.

2020 & 2022 ESPP Early Exit Events

  • Shares purchased from the 2020 ESPP are subject to a three-year holding period, ending on April 21, 2023.
  • Shares purchased from the 2022 ESPP are subject to a three-year holding period, ending on October 27, 2025.

Employees can sell their 2020 and 2022 shares in advance of these dates in the following circumstances only:

  1. Their disability (as evidenced by approval of receipt of long-term disability benefits by Arkema’s long-term disability provider);

  2. Their death or the death of their spouse (as evidenced by a copy of the death certificate);

  3. Their termination of employment with the Arkema Group, including due to their retirement;

  4. The purchase or enlargement of their primary residence.
    • For the purchase of a primary residence, documentation that will be taken into consideration includes a binding sale contract with a specified closing date and final closing documents.
    • For the enlargement of a primary residence, documentation that will be taken into consideration includes contracts with architects and other contractors, governmental permits and paid invoices.

If you think you qualify for an early exit event and would like to sell your shares before the end of the holding period, please contact your local Human Resources Representative to:

  • Determine if you have an ESPP company loan balance. You must reimburse your loan in order to be permitted to sell your shares;
  • Determine if you qualify for an early exit event by providing proof of such;
  • Request an Early Exit Form
 

Dividend Payment Information

Dividends are typically issued annually directly after the Shareholders meeting. You will receive dividends for the totality of your shares (not including free share grants that have not vested yet). This means that if you own shares from prior ESPP plans and have not sold them yet, you will receive dividends for those shares.

Dividend payments are usually made via wire transfer to the US bank that you entered on your online Uptevia account, and a "Credit Advice" statement is mailed to the home address that you provided. It is your responsibility to verify that your dividends have been paid. Please review your US bank statement to confirm your receipt. The description of the dividend will contain the word “Arkema”.

If you believe that your dividends have not been paid, please contact Uptevia.
