French term or phrase: abondé
This is from a (bank's) board decision about a capital increase offered to its employees:

pour chaque tranche, les actions disponibles dans la tranche après cette première répartition sont, dans un deuxième temps, servies proportionnellement aux demandes d'actions exprimées excédant ce niveau garanti,
les demandes individuelles ainsi obtenues prennent en compte l'ordre de priorité suivant :
(1) participation abondée, (2) intéressement abondé, (3) arbitrage abondé* d'avoirs disponibles depuis le FCPE ****, (4) les versements volontaires abondés, (5) participation non abondée, (6) intéressement non abondé (7) arbitrage non abondé* d'avoirs disponibles depuis le fonds Arcancia Trésorerie et (8) versements volontaires non abonnés,


I have found lots of possible translations for abondé, and have no idea which would be appropriate. Earlier in the document, I translated 'abondement' as 'employee contributions to a company savings scheme. I am hoping I don't have to write that in each of these examples!!

contribution


Explanation:
It's about whether a) it refers to a contributory (including both the fixed minimum amount and the possibility to contribute more) or non-contributory amount, and b) there are several investment arrange types.

Presumably its related to pension amounts in a defined contribution plan with an allowance to save additional pension amounts within that structure.

Asker: I don't think it's related to pension plans, it is part of an employee share saving plan and/or a fonds commun de placement (open ended investment trust)

with employer contribution


Explanation:
L'abondement consiste, pour l'employeur, à ajouter sa propre contribution à celle de l'employé. L'abondement n'est en général prévu que jusqu'à un montant plafond, c'est pourquoi il y a dans la liste à la fois des contributions abondées et d'autres qui ne le sont pas.

Asker: oui, certes, mais je ne veux pas utiliser 'with employer contribution' après chaque mot dans cette phrase, (ce que j'ai précisé dès le debut) car trop lourd

Asker: ok thanks, in fact it is in my glossary as top up, but wasn't sure you could use it for all these things, top up pensions and top up health insurance are the only cases I have come across...
