EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports the 28th regime but wants it to explicitly recognise and enable employee ownership as a distinct business succession solution beyond just employee share options.
Design the 28th regime entity to be capable of serving as an employee buy-out vehicle or an employee-owned business, supporting long-term collective ownership of shares on behalf of employees.
“The proposed optional long-termism provisions must allow the new entity to be used in two ways to support EO: (a) as a buy-out vehicle, and long-term collective owner of shares on behalf of all employees... (b) the new entity must also be capable of being the employer entity with a separate EO arrangement.”

Recognise employee ownership as a separate policy area distinct from employee financial participation and ensure the new entity supports genuine employee engagement and profit-sharing with significant employee shareholding.
“EO is a distinct business model in which all employees, directly or indirectly, have a significant shareholding (usually a controlling or 100% stake) that ensures the employing company provides good work including genuine employee engagement and profit-sharing.”
