Pursuant to the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is irrevocably authorized to issue shares (common
and special voting shares) and to grant rights to subscribe for shares in the capital of the Company. This authorization is up to
a maximum aggregate amount of shares as set out in the Articles of Association, as amended from time to time, and limits or
excludes the right of pre-emption with respect to common shares.
Exercise of GM Warrants
As part of the acquisition of Opel/Vauxhall by Groupe PSA, on July 31, 2017, PSA issued warrants to Adam Opel
GmbH (a GM company), hereafter referred to as “GM”. The equity warrants entitled the holder to subscribe for 39,727,324
shares in Peugeot S.A. with a par value of €1 per warrant, and each warrant being eligible for one share in PSA Automobiles
S.A. (“PSA”). The warrants were exercisable between the 5th and the 9th year following issuance, meaning that the exercise
window opened on July 31, 2022. On the merger date, each of the warrants issued by PSA to GM was converted into one
equity warrant, each of which entitled the holder to subscribe for 1.74 Stellantis shares (same conversion ratio as for all other
PSA shares), with an exercise price equal to €1 per original warrant (€39,727,324).
On September 15, 2022, upon the exercise of the warrants above by GM we issued 69,125,544 common shares,
representing approximately 2.2 percent of Stellantis’ share capital (on a diluted basis) and with a cash proceed of €40 million.
Following the agreement entered into with GM, we immediately repurchased all the shares issued with a cash disbursement
of €923 million corresponding to €13.36 per share (such amount was based on the volume weighted average price of one
Stellantis common share on the regulated market of Euronext in Milan over the previous five trading days). The issuance and
subsequent share buy-back have been accounted for as separate transactions within equity.
All the repurchased shares were cancelled following the resolution adopted by the shareholders at the AGM on April
13, 2023.
Share buyback program
At the AGM on April 13, 2023, the Board of Directors was authorized to acquire common shares in the capital of
the Company, either through purchase on a stock exchange, through a public tender offer, an offer for exchange or otherwise,
up to a maximum number of shares equal to 10 percent of the Company’s issued common shares. The authorization was for a
period of 18 months from the date of the 2023 AGM. The authorization was renewed in the same terms at the AGM on April
16, 2024 for a period of 18 months from the date of the 2024 AGM and therefore up to and including October 15, 2025.
In February 2024, the Company announced a Share Buyback Program (the “Program”), covering up to €3.0 billion
(total purchase price excluding ancillary costs) to be executed in the open market with the intent to cancel the common shares
acquired through the Program apart from a portion of up to €0.5 billion, which may be used to service share-based
compensation and employee stock purchase plans. The purchase price per common share will be no higher than an amount
equal to 110 percent of the market price of the shares on the NYSE, Euronext Milan or Euronext Paris. The market price is
calculated as the average of the highest price on each of the five days of trading prior to the date on which the acquisition is
made, as shown in the official price list of the NYSE, Euronext Milan or Euronext Paris. The share buybacks are subject to
market conditions and in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014
and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.
In February 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with an independent investment firm that makes its
trading decisions concerning the timing of purchases independently of the Company. This agreement related to the first
tranche of the Program for a maximum amount of up to €1.0 billion which started in February 2024 and completed in April
2024. Total common shares purchased under this tranche were 41,094,781 at an average price of €24.33 per share for total
cash paid of €1.0 billion.
In May 2024, the Company entered into the second tranche of €1.0 billion purchases and completed in June 2024.
Total common shares purchased under this tranche were 51,025,628 at an average price of €19.60 per share for total cash
paid of €1.0 billion.
In August 2024, the Company entered into the third tranche of €1.0 billion purchases and completed in October
2024. Total common shares purchased under this tranche were 72,041,332 at an average price of €13.88 per share for total
cash paid of €1.0 billion.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company purchased a total of 164,161,741 at an average price of €18.27
per share for total cash paid of €3.0 billion.
Dongfeng share repurchase
As part of an agreed share repurchase framework between Stellantis and Dongfeng, during November 2023, the
Company agreed to repurchase 50 million common shares for a total consideration of €934 million which represents
approximately 1.6 percent of Stellantis’ share capital from Dongfeng. Per the pre-agreed terms of the share repurchase
framework, pricing was set at the five-day average closing price of Stellantis shares on the Euronext Milan for the period
ending immediately prior to the date on which Dongfeng submitted an offer. The purchase of Stellantis common shares by
Stellantis from Dongfeng was carried out under the authority granted by Stellantis’ general meeting of April 2023. The
Company intends to cancel these shares.
Dongfeng retained 49.2 million common shares, representing approximately 1.6 percent of Stellantis’ share capital
post-cancellation.
Employee-share purchase plan
During November 2024 and November 2023, the Company offered eligible employees the opportunity to become
shareholders through a specific employee-share purchase plan. Under the plan eligible employees could subscribe to
Stellantis shares, at a subscription price of corresponding to the average of the Company’s closing share price on the 20
trading days preceding the date of the decision setting the terms of the plan, less a 20 percent discount. Additionally, the
Company provided a matching contribution of 100 percent of the personal amount invested, up to €1,000. The shares are
locked up for a specified period. Employees bear the risk of fluctuations in the share price relative to the subscription price.
In the November 2024 plan, a total of 9.7 million shares were subscribed. There was an increase in equity of
€123 million and the total cost of the plan was €58 million.
In the November 2023 plan, a total of 4.4 million shares were subscribed. There was an increase in equity of
€82 million and the total cost of the plan was €36 million.
The details for each plan were as follows:

Equity Incentive Plans
On April 15, 2021, the AGM resolved to authorize, under certain conditions, the Board of Directors to issue
common shares, to grant rights to subscribe for shares under the LTIP and its sub-plans, up to maximum of 100 million
common shares, and to exclude pre-emptive rights of shareholders in that regard, both for a period of five years.
Furthermore, the AGM authorized the Board of Directors, for a period of 18 months from the date of the AGM, to
repurchase up to a maximum of 10 percent of the Company’s common shares issued as of the date of the AGM. Pursuant to
the authorization, which does not entail any obligation for the Company but is designed to provide additional flexibility, the
Board of Directors may repurchase common shares in compliance with applicable regulations, subject to certain maximum
and minimum price thresholds.

Policies and processes for managing capital
The objectives identified by the Company for managing capital were to create value for shareholders as a whole,
safeguard business continuity and support the growth of the Company. As a result, the Company endeavored to maintain an
adequate level of capital that, at the same time, enables it to obtain a satisfactory economic return for its shareholders and
guarantee economic access to external sources of funds, including by means of achieving an adequate credit rating.
The Company constantly monitors its net financial position in comparison with net equity and the generation of cash
from its industrial activities. In order to reach these objectives, the Company continues to aim for improvement in the
profitability of its operations. Furthermore, the Board of Directors may make proposals to Stellantis shareholders at a general
meeting to reduce or increase share capital or, where permitted by law, to distribute reserves. The Company may also make
purchases of treasury shares, without exceeding the limits authorized at a general meeting of Stellantis shareholders, under
the same logic of creating value, compatible with the objectives of achieving financial equilibrium and an improvement in the
Company's rating.
Dividends proposed, declared and paid
On April 16, 2024, the AGM approved an ordinary dividend distribution of €1.55 per common share corresponding
to a total distribution of €4.7 billion, that was paid on May 3, 2024.
On February 26, 2025, the Company announced an ordinary dividend of €2.0 billion corresponding to €0.68 per
share to be paid, subject to shareholder approval. The dividend represents a payout ratio of approximately 30 percent of the
2024 Net profit as adjusted primarily for the base purchase price related to the Comau disposal (refer to Note 3, Scope of
consolidation for additional information). The expected dates are as follows: (i) ex-date April 22, 2025 for Euronext Milan
and Euronext Paris and April 23, 2025 for NYSE; (ii) record date: April 23, 2025 for NYSE, Euronext Milan and Euronext
Paris; (iii) payment date: May 5, 2025 for NYSE, Euronext Milan and Euronext Paris.
Dividend policy
Common shares
The Company’s dividend policy contemplates an annual ordinary dividend to the holders of common shares
targeting a payout ratio of 25 percent to 30 percent of the Company’s Net profit for the relevant prior financial year.
The actual level of dividend to be distributed by the Company will be determined by the Board of Directors in its
sole discretion and will be subject to earnings, cash balances, commitments, strategic plans and any other factors that the
Board of Directors may deem relevant at the time of a dividend distribution, including adjustments for income or costs that
are significant in nature but expected to occur infrequently.
Special voting shares
Stellantis adopted a loyalty voting structure on January 17, 2021 whereby certain registered shares that were held for
an uninterrupted period of three years in the name of the same shareholder qualify to receive one class A special voting for
each common shares registered. During the year ended December 31, 2024, issuance of these special voting shares has taken
place. Refer to "Corporate Governance - Loyalty Voting Structure" included elsewhere in this report for additional
information.
The holders of special voting shares are not entitled to any distributions. However, pursuant to article 29.4 of the
Company's articles of association, from any amount of profits not reserved by the Board of Directors, first an amount shall be
allocated and added to a separate special voting shares dividend reserve for the benefit of the holders of special voting shares
(the "Special Voting Shares Dividend Reserve"). The Company has no intention to propose any distribution from the Special
Voting Shares Dividend Reserve.
