Directed Buyback

The Company is also announcing, pursuant to UK Listing Rule 9.6.4, that the business of the AGM will include the consideration and, if thought fit, approval of certain resolutions relating to the terms and conditions of a proposed contract for the off-market purchase by the Company of ordinary shares of €0.625 each in the issued capital of AIB ("Ordinary Shares") from the Minister for Finance (the "Minister") for a total consideration of up to €1.2 billion (the "Proposed Transaction").

The total consideration will be satisfied through the use of the Company's excess capital. The price per Ordinary Share payable in respect of the Proposed Transaction, if consummated, will be the higher of (i) € 6.2607 (being the volume-weighted average price of Ordinary Shares traded on Euronext Dublin for the five business days up to and including 25 March 2025, calculated by reference to data sourced from Bloomberg, less 36.984 cent (to account for the proposed dividend for 2024, the record date for which will be after the Latest Practicable Date)), and (ii) a price per Ordinary Share equal to the volume-weighted average price of Ordinary Shares traded on Euronext Dublin for the five business days immediately preceding 1 May 2025, calculated by reference to data sourced from Bloomberg.

If the Proposed Transaction is consummated, AIB intends to cancel the Ordinary Shares which are purchased. The Proposed Transaction will constitute a related party transaction for the purposes of both the Irish Companies Act 2014 and the UK Listing Rules. Therefore (and in addition to Shareholder approval of the resolutions to be proposed in relation to the Proposed Transaction), consummation of the Proposed Transaction will be subject to (i) the Board's determination that such action is in the best interests of the Company and (ii) receipt of written confirmation from the Company's sponsor in accordance with UK Listing Rule 8.2.1(3) that the terms of the proposed arrangement are fair and reasonable as far as the independent Shareholders are concerned.
