As announced by Paragon Banking Group PLC ("the Company") on 2 June 2026, as part of a review of its ongoing capital management, a further buy-back programme of up to £50.0 million for the 2026 financial year (the "Buy-Back Programme") has been authorised by the Company's Board. The Buy-Back Programme will commence today and is expected to end no later than 30 September 2026, subject to market conditions.

The purpose of the Buy-Back Programme is to reduce the capital of the Company.

The Group was granted the general authority to undertake on-market share buy-backs, up to 19,200,000 ordinary shares, at the Company's AGM on 4 March 2026. The Buy-Back Programme will be carried out under that authority.

The Group has entered into an arrangement with Peel Hunt to effect the Buy-Back Programme.
