The 92nd Annual Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the Bank of Greece, held on 8 April 2025, decided, inter alia, to distribute a dividend of €0.6720 per share for financial year 2024, which is subject to withholding tax of 5%, under Article 64, para. 1, of Law 4172/2013, as currently in force. The net dividend to be received by shareholders amounts to €0.6384 per share.

The ex-dividend date has been set as 23 April 2025. From this date, Bank of Greece shares will trade on the Athens Exchange without entitlement to the current dividend.

The record date has been set as 24 April 2025. Entitled to receive the current dividend shall be the following persons, subject to the limitations laid down in Article 8, para. 5, of the Bank's Statute* :

(a) shareholders that stand registered with the Dematerialised Securities System (DSS) as at the record date, provided that their shares are kept in own securities accounts or in client securities accounts;

(b) persons identified as shareholders as at the record date, in accordance with the legislation in force (Law 4548/2018, Law 4569/2018, Articles 25 to 36 of Law 4706/2020 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1212), through registered intermediaries or other intermediaries under Article 1.2.3 of Part 1 of Section VIII of the Rulebook of the Hellenic Central Securities Depository, as currently in force, provided that their shares are kept in client securities accounts.

It should be noted, in this connection, that according to Article 19 of Law 4569/2018, the payment of dividends by the Bank of Greece is subject to timely identification of shareholders in accordance with the applicable legislation. Pending such identification, dividends claimed on shares that are not identified in time shall be retained by the Bank of Greece until they are claimed by a shareholder, subject to full identification in accordance with the applicable legislation, and provided that the latter is indeed entitled to such claim. It should be noted that, under a relevant contract, the Hellenic Central Securities Depository acts as issuer's service provider.

The dividend payment date has been set for 30 April 2025. Dividend payments will be effected in accordance with the applicable legislation (Article 19 of Law 4569/2018), the procedure laid down in the Athens Exchange Rulebook (Articles 5.1, para.11 and 5.2), the Resolution 25 of the Stock Markets Steering Committee of Athens Exchange (Article 4) and the specific provisions of the Rulebook of the Hellenic Central Securities Depository and its relevant decisions, with the following options open to shareholders:

• a) Payment through DSS participants (banks and securities brokerage firms), chosen and duly authorised by the shareholder to collect the dividend. On 30 April 2025, the Bank of Greece will credit the bank accounts of the participants, which will then transfer the dividends to the shareholders.
• b) Payment directly from the Bank of Greece, by bank account crediting, in the following cases:

^* As from financial year 2013, all financial rights, including the right to dividend payments, are suspended for the shareholders referred to in Article 8, para. 5, of the Bank's Statute [as inserted by the decision of the 79th Annual Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the Bank of Greece held on 24 April 2012, which was ratified by Article 165, para. 7(b) of Law 4099/2012 (Government Gazette A 250/20.12.2012)], i.e. persons supervised by the Bank of Greece under Article 55A of its Statute or a provision of law; associated and affiliated firms; members of the board of directors or administrators of such persons; their spouses and relatives up to second degree.

• to heirs of deceased shareholders, whose shares are kept by the Hellenic Central Securities Depository in the decedent's special account of their share with DSS, subject to evidence of the inheritance right and subject to the limitations laid down in Article 8, para. 5, of the Bank's Statute.

The payor Bank will be the Bank of Greece.

In cases where, for whatever reason, the designated bank accounts cannot be credited, the beneficiaries may apply to the Bank of Greece.
