The bank confirmed that these shares were acquired while trading on the Athens Stock Exchange.

In line with the mandates established at the General Meeting, the bank intends to proceed with the cancellation of these own shares in the future.

This process will be conducted in accordance with the relevant legal provisions regarding the timeframe for cancellation as defined by Law 4548/2018.

Following these recent market transactions, the lender now directly holds a total of 17,208,858 own shares.

These holdings currently correspond to 1.88 per cent of the total share capital of the institution.
