Swedbank acquires own shares for compensation programmes

Swedbank's Annual General Meeting 2025 decided to authorise the company's Board of Directors to resolve on the acquisition of own shares. Swedbank's Board of Directors has today decided to use this authorisation for the purpose of ensuring delivery of shares to participants in Swedbank's performance- and share-based compensation programmes (Eken 2025 and IP 2025, together "the Programmes").

The acquisition of shares will be carried out in accordance with Nasdaq Stockholm's Nordic Main Market Rulebook for Issuers of Shares (the "Rulebook"), the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR"), and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052 (the "Safe Harbour Regulation"). The acquisition of shares will be managed by an investment firm or a credit institution making its trading decisions concerning the timing of the acquisitions independently of Swedbank.

The buyback programme is subject to the following conditions:

· Acquisitions may comprise up to 2,000,000 shares for a total amount not exceeding SEK 1,100 million, with the purpose of ensuring delivery of shares to participants in the Programmes. However, Swedbank's holding of own shares must never exceed 10 percent of all shares in the company.

· Acquisitions will only take place on Nasdaq Stockholm in accordance with the Rulebook, MAR, and the Safe Harbour Regulation.

· The acquisition price per share shall be within the applicable price range on Nasdaq Stockholm at any given time, defined as the interval between the highest bid price and lowest ask price continuously published by Nasdaq Stockholm, while also observing the limitations stipulated by the Safe Harbour Regulation.

· No acquisitions will take place prior to the publication of Swedbank's year-end report on 29 January 2026. Acquisitions may occur until the Annual General Meeting 2026.

· Payment for shares shall be made in cash.

As of 28 January, 2026, Swedbank's holding of own shares amounts to 7,780,212 shares. The total number of shares issued by Swedbank is 1,132,005,722.
