Equinor to commence fourth tranche of the 2025 share buy-back programme

Equinor to commence fourth tranche of the 2025 share buy-back programme

Equinor (OSE: EQNR, NYSE: EQNR) will on 30 October 2025 commence the fourth and

final tranche of up to USD 1,266 million of the share buy-back programme for

2025, as announced in relation with the third quarter results 29 October 2025.

In this fourth tranche of the share buy-back programme for 2025, shares for up

to USD 417.8 million will be purchased in the market, implying a total tranche

of up to USD 1,266 million including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian

State. The tranche will end no later than 2 February 2026.

Equinor announced at the Capital Market Update in February 2025 a share buy-back

programme of up to USD 5 billion for 2025, including shares to be redeemed from

the Norwegian State, in order to conclude the two-year programme for 2024 -

2025, announced in February 2024. The share buy-back programme will be subject

to market outlook and balance sheet strength and be structured into tranches

where Equinor will buy back shares for a certain value in USD over a defined

period. For the fourth tranche for 2025, Equinor will be entering into a non-

discretionary agreement with a third party who will execute repurchases of

shares and make its trading decisions independently of the company.

Commencement of new share buy-back tranches after the fourth tranche for 2025

will be decided by the board of directors on a quarterly basis in line with the

company's dividend policy and will be subject to board authorisation for share

buy-back from the company's annual general meeting and agreement with the

Norwegian State regarding share buy-back (as further described below).

The purpose of the share buy-back programme is to reduce the issued share

capital of the company. All shares purchased as part of the fourth tranche for

2025 will thus be cancelled through a capital reduction at the annual general

meeting of the company in May 2026.

Further information about the share buy-back programme and the fourth tranche:

The fourth tranche of the share buy-back programme for 2025 is based on an

authorisation granted to the board of directors at the annual general meeting of

the company held on 14 May 2025. According to the authorisation, the maximum

number of shares which can be purchased in the market is 84 million, of which

50,677,690 remain available per commencement of the fourth tranche for 2025

(buy-backs made under previous tranches in the authorisation period taken into

account). The minimum price that can be paid per share is NOK 50, and the

maximum price is NOK 1,000. The authorisation is valid until the annual general

meeting of the company in May 2026, but no later than 30 June 2026.

An agreement between Equinor and the Norwegian State regulates the State's

participation in the share buy-back: at the annual general meeting of the

company in May 2026, the State will, as per proposal by the board of directors,

vote for the cancellation of shares purchased in the market pursuant to the

board authorisation, and the redemption and cancellation of a proportionate

number of its shares in order to maintain its ownership share in the company at

67%. The price to be paid to the State for redemption of the State's shares

shall be the volume-weighted average of the price paid by Equinor for shares

purchased in the market plus an interest rate compensation, adjusted for any

dividends paid.

In the fourth tranche for 2025, shares will be purchased on the Oslo Stock

Exchange and possibly other trading venues within the EEA. Transactions will be

conducted in accordance with applicable safe harbour conditions, and as further

set out in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act of 2007, EU Commission

Regulation (EC) No 2016/1052 and the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority's

Guidelines for buy-back programmes from March 2025.

The board of directors will propose to the annual general meeting of the company

to be held in May 2026, to cancel shares purchased in the market in this fourth

tranche for 2025 and to redeem and cancel a proportionate number of the State's

shares per the agreement with the State.

This is information that Equinor is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU

Market Abuse Regulation and that is subject to the disclosure requirements

pursuant to Section 5-12 the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
