Employees and managers will receive 50% of their pay while on furlough with the balance paid over the next four years as the business recovers.
Separately, it was reported that US investment management company Franklin Resources had raised its stake in the French tyre maker to 10.03% of the capital and 7.79% of the voting rights.
