Adecco Group's 2026 Dividend Announcement: Key Details Revealed

On May 5, 2026, Adecco Group officially announced the final conditions surrounding its dividend payments from 2025. The pivotal moment came following the company's annual general meeting held on April 15, 2026, where shareholders were given the choice to receive their dividends either in cash or in the form of newly issued shares.

In a strategic move, the Adecco Group revealed that 53.01% of the dividend for the fiscal year 2025 will be disbursed as new shares, while the remaining 46.99% will be paid out in cash. This decision reflects the company's commitment to provide sustainable returns to its shareholders while also ensuring the financial flexibility necessary for strategic investments.

The reference price for the shares was set at CHF 18.02, determined based on the volume-weighted average price of Adecco's existing shares traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange from April 21, 2026, to May 4, 2026. The issuance price for the new shares stands at CHF 16.94, representing a 6% discount compared to the reference price, which results in a conversion ratio of 16.940.

In total, 5,268,324 new shares of Adecco Group AG will be issued as part of the capital increase associated with the dividend in shares. The distribution of these new shares, alongside a cash dividend totaling CHF 79 million, is expected to be completed by May 7, 2026.

Denis Machuel, CEO of the Adecco Group, expressed satisfaction with the take-up rate for the share dividend, extending gratitude to shareholders for their continued support and partnership. He emphasized the company's commitment to maintaining an attractive and sustainable dividend policy while prioritizing necessary investments to enhance their competitive stance and improve financial leverage.
