### CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Share capital reduction of 1.76% as part of the shareholder remuneration charged against the 2024 results

On 2 June 2025, the executive committee reduced Banco Santander's share capital by EUR 133,583,475, by cancelling 267,166,950 own shares, representing 1.76% of its share capital, acquired in the second 2024 buyback programme, that ran between 6 February and 2 June 2025, as part of the shareholder remuneration charged against 2024 results. The share capital reduction, which was approved at the general shareholders’ meeting on 4 April 2025, was registered with the Commercial Registry of Cantabria on 6 June 2025. Consequently, Article 5 of the Bylaws has been amended to reflect that the Bank’s share capital is set at EUR 7,442,662,686, represented through 14,885,325,372 shares with a nominal value of EUR 0.50 per share, all of the same class and affording the same rights.

The eight share buyback programmes against results since 2021 and the related share capital reductions have resulted in the repurchase of 2,455,315,930 shares since November 2021, representing approximately 14.16% of the outstanding shares as of that date.
