Note: This submission to OAM is in respect of the regulatory announcement disclosed to the public via RIS on 28 March 2022 and published by Euronext Dublin.

No changes have been made to this announcement.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN OR INTO OR TO ANY PERSON LOCATED OR RESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ITS TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS, ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (THE UNITED STATES) OR IN OR INTO ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE IT IS UNLAWFUL TO RELEASE, PUBLISH OR DISTRIBUTE THIS DOCUMENT.

AIB Group plc announces Tender Offer in respect of its €500,000,000 Senior Unsecured 1.500 per cent. Notes due 2023 (ISIN: XS1799975765) and proposed issue of New Notes

28 March 2022. AIB Group plc (the Offeror) announces today an invitation to eligible holders of its outstanding €500,000,000 Senior Unsecured 1.500 per cent. Notes due 2023 (ISIN: XS1799975765) (the Notes) to tender any and all such Notes for purchase by the Offeror for cash, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the New Financing Condition (as defined below) (such invitation, the Offer).

The Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in a tender offer memorandum dated 28 March 2022 (the Tender Offer Memorandum) prepared by the Offeror, and is subject to the offer restrictions set out below and as more fully described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Copies of the Tender Offer Memorandum are (subject to distribution restrictions) available from the Tender and Information Agent as set out below. Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Summary of the Offer

Description ISIN / Outstanding Purchase Amount subject to
of the Notes Common Code Nominal Amount Price the Offer
€500,000,000 SeniorUnsecured 1.500 percent. Notes due 2023 XS1799975765/179997576 €500,000,000 101.375 percent. Any and all

Rationale for the Offer

The purpose of the Offer is to provide liquidity to Noteholders, and it is being made as part of the Offeror's active management of its consolidated stock of bail in-able liabilities whilst issuing New Notes (as defined below) (see "Issuance of New Notes" below) ultimately for the benefit of the Offeror's business.

Notes purchased by the Offeror pursuant to the Offer (and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the New Financing Condition on or prior to the Settlement Date) are expected to be cancelled and will not be reissued or re-sold. Notes which have not been validly submitted and/or accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding.

Purchase Price and Accrued Interest

{1}------------------------------------------------

The Offeror will pay, for Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer (and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the New Financing Condition on or prior to the Settlement Date), a cash purchase price equal to 101.375 per cent. of the nominal amount of the relevant Notes (the Purchase Price).

The Offeror will also pay an Accrued Interest Payment in respect of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer.

New Financing Condition

The Offeror announced on 28 March 2022 its intention to issue a series of euro-denominated notes due 2028 (the New Notes), subject to market conditions. Whether the Offeror will accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered in the Offer and complete the Offer is subject, without limitation, to the successful completion (in the sole determination of the Offeror) of the issue of the New Notes (the New Financing Condition).

Issuance of New Notes

Pricing of the issue of the New Notes is expected to occur prior to the Expiration Deadline for the Offer.

Allocation of the New Notes

When considering allocation of the New Notes, the Offeror intends to give preference to those Noteholders who, prior to such allocation, have validly tendered (or have given a firm indication to the Offeror or any Dealer Manager that they intend to tender) their Notes pursuant to the Offer. Therefore, a Noteholder who wishes to subscribe for New Notes in addition to tendering its Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer may be eligible to receive, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Offeror, priority in the allocation of the New Notes, subject to the issue of the New Notes and such Noteholder making a separate application for the purchase of such New Notes to a Dealer Manager (in its capacity as a joint lead manager of the issue of the New Notes) or to any other joint lead manager of the issue of the New Notes in accordance with the standard new issue procedures of such joint lead manager. However, the Offeror is not obliged to allocate the New Notes to a Noteholder who has validly tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender the Notes pursuant to the Offer and, if New Notes are allocated, the nominal amount thereof may be less or more than the nominal amount of Notes tendered by such Noteholder and accepted by the Offeror pursuant to the Offer. Any such allocation will also, among other factors, take into account the minimum denomination of the New Notes (being €100,000).

All allocations of the New Notes, while being considered by the Offeror as set out above, will be made in accordance with customary new issue allocation processes and procedures. In the event that a Noteholder validly tenders Notes pursuant to the Offer, such Notes will remain subject to such tender and the conditions of the Offer as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum irrespective of whether that Noteholder receives all, part or none of any allocation of New Notes for which it has applied.

Noteholders should note that the pricing and allocation of the New Notes are expected to take place prior to the Expiration Deadline (as defined below) for the Offer and any Noteholder that wishes to subscribe for New Notes in addition to tendering existing Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer should therefore provide, as soon as practicable, to any Dealer Manager any indications of a firm intention to tender Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer and the quantum of Notes that it intends to tender in order for this to be taken into account as part of the New Notes allocation process.

Acceptance and no Scaling

If the Offeror decides to accept valid tenders of Notes pursuant to the Offer, the Offeror will (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the New Financing Condition on or prior to the Settlement Date) accept for

{2}------------------------------------------------

purchase all of the Notes that are validly tendered and there will be no scaling of any tenders of Notes for purchase.

Tender Instructions

In order to participate in, and be eligible to receive the Purchase Price and the Accrued Interest Payment pursuant to, the Offer, Noteholders must validly tender their Notes for purchase by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that is received by the Tender and Information Agent by 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 1 April 2022 (unless extended, re-opened, amended and/or terminated as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum) (the Expiration Deadline).

Tender Instructions will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in "Amendment and Termination" in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Tender Instructions must be submitted in respect of a minimum nominal amount of Notes of no less than €100,000, being the minimum denomination of the Notes, and may be submitted in integral multiples of €1,000 thereafter.
