Likewise, on 4 February 2026 a second buyback program on account of the 2025 and expected excess capital was launched for a maximum total amount of EUR 5,030 million, of which EUR 1,830 million corresponds to an amount equivalent to 25% of the Group’s underlying profit in the second half of 2025, and the remaining EUR 3,200 million corresponds to 50% of the capital released following completion of the sale of the 49% stake in Santander Bank Polska. A capital reduction resolution approved by the general meeting of shareholders will enable the cancellation of the treasury shares acquired under this second buyback programme.
