SREP Capital Requirements 2025
Banco Santander, S.A., ("Santander") communicates the following:
OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
Santander has been informed by the European Central Bank ("ECB"), after following its Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process ("SREP"), of its decision regarding the minimum prudential capital requirements effective as of 1 January 2025.
The ECB's decision maintains an unchanged Pillar 2 requirement ("P2R") of 1.74% at a consolidated level, of which at least 0.98% must be covered with Common Equity Tier 1 capital ("CET1"). 9 basis points of P2R reflect the capital add-on due to the ECB's prudential expectations on calendar provisioning in connection with non-performing loans.
The following table shows the minimum CET1 and total capital requirements applicable at the consolidated level as of 1 January 2024 and as of 1 January 2025, as well as Santander's ratios[1] as of 30 September 2024:

[1] Phased-in ratios.
[2] The minimum requirement ratio of CET1 at consolidated level consists of: (a) the minimum capital requirement of Pillar 1 (4.50%), (b) P2R (0.98%), (c) the capital conservation buffer (2.50%), (d) the requirement arising from the consideration of Santander as Other Systemically Important Institution ("OSII"), which has been fixed by Banco de España effective on 1 January 2025 (1.25%), (e) the systemic risk buffer requirement, estimated as of 31 December 2024, arising from the activation by Banco de España of reciprocity with Italy (0.02%) and Portugal (0.02%), and (f) the countercyclical capital buffer requirement (0.3979%), calculated as of 30 September 2024, and for which, according to the resolution from Banco de España issued on 1 October 2024, an increase of 0.50% over the exposures located in Spain will be applicable from 1 October 2025, and an additional increase of 0.50% over such exposures is expected to be applicable from 1 October 2026. With respect to the minimum requirement applicable as of 1 January 2024, the increase of 7 basis points is due to variations given in the items listed in limb (f), whose value was 0.3693%, as disclosed in the inside information filing dated 11 December 2023, and for limb (e), whose value was not included in such filing since the activation of reciprocity by Banco de España with Portugal is effective on 1 October 2024, and with Italy on 31 December 2024.
[3] In addition to the CET1 requirement, the minimum total capital requirement at consolidated level includes: (i) Pillar 1 requirements of Additional Tier 1 (1.5%) and Tier 2 (2%), and (ii) part of the P2R requirements which can be covered by Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 (0.33% y 0.44%, respectively), remaining unchanged with respect to the minimum requirement applicable as of 1 January 2024, save for the CET1 increase of 7 basis points specified in the previous section.
