| **Banco Santander, S.A.**, in compliance with the Mexican and U.S. securities legislation, hereby communicates the following:<br>**<u>MATERIAL INFORMATION</u>**<br>|
| Banco Santander, S.A. ("**Banco Santander**"), following its announcement dated February 7, 2023, announces that the expiration date of the Tender Offers (as defined below) has been extended until April 10, 2023, as further described below.  |
| On February 7, 2023, Banco Santander announced the commencement of concurrent cash tender offers in Mexico (the "**Mexican Offer**") and the United States (the "**U.S. Offer**" and, together with the Mexican Offer, the "**Tender Offers**") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding (i) Series B shares (the "**Series B Shares**") of Banco Santander México, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero Santander México ("**Santander Mexico**") and (ii) American Depositary Shares (each of which represents five Series B Shares) of Santander Mexico (the "**ADSs**" and jointly with the Series B Shares, the "**Shares**"), in each case other than any Series B Shares or ADSs owned, directly or indirectly, by Banco Santander, and which collectively amount to approximately 3.76% of Santander Mexico's outstanding share capital. In addition, Banco Santander announced that following the Tender Offers, Banco Santander intends to (a) deregister the Series B Shares from the Mexican National Securities Registry of the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission and delist such Series B Shares from the Mexican Stock Exchange, and (b) remove the ADSs from listing on the New York Stock Exchange and the Series B Shares and ADSs from registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The U.S. Offer is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the U.S. Offer to Purchase filed with the SEC and the Mexican Offer is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the informative memorandum (*folleto informativo*), in each case, as amended from time to time. |
| In connection with the foregoing, Banco Santander announces its decision to extend the expiration date of (i) the Mexican Offer until 2:00 p.m., Mexico City time, on April 10, 2023, and (ii) the U.S. Offer until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 10, 2023; in each case, unless further extended or earlier terminated. Except for the foregoing, all the terms of the Tender Offers will remain unchanged. |
| The Tender Offers commenced on February 7, 2023. The U.S. Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 8, 2023 and the Mexican Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 2:00 p.m., Mexico City time, on March 8, 2023. |
| This extension gives holders of Shares additional time to complete and return the transmittal documentation and to give instructions to their brokers or other securities intermediaries to tender their Shares into the Tender Offers. |
| Casa de Bolsa Santander, S.A. de C.V., which is acting as intermediary (*intermediario*) in connection with the Series B Shares, and Citibank, N.A., which is acting as tender agent in the U.S. Offer, have advised us that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 28, 2023, approximately 143,720 Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offers (representing approximately 0.056% of the outstanding Series B Shares, including Series B Shares represented by ADSs, that Banco Santander or its affiliates do not already own).<br>|
| Consummation of the Offers is subject to certain conditions, including the absence of any material adverse change in the financial condition, results of operations or prospects of Santander Mexico. |
| Boadilla del Monte (Madrid), March 1, 2023 |
