26 Jun 2026 Banque Degroof Petercam SABanque Degroof Petercam: 1 million EUR settlement over hidden costs in employee stock options BelgiumOrganisational requirements €1m

In stock option plans for employees of client companies (2018–2023), the bank did not fully inform the beneficiaries about costs, had initially not recorded the conflicts of interest in this business and assessed clients’ knowledge only with a yes/no question. The Autorité des services et marchés financiers (Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority, FSMA) accepted a settlement of 1 million EUR with publication by name and commitments on cost information.

What organisations can take from it

Full cost transparency and a dedicated conflicts register also apply to ancillary business such as employee stock option plans.
