BAWAG Group announces that following the completion of its share buyback on September 4, 2025, the company has reduced its share capital by cancelling 1,600,000 shares. This reduction decreases the total number of shares from 78,600,000 to 77,000,000. The share capital reduction will be reflected on the Vienna Stock Exchange as of September 22, 2025.

Anas Abuzaakouk, CEO, commented: "Following our recent share buyback, we have reduced our share capital by 23 million shares, which is equivalent to 23% of our total shares since our IPO in October 2017.
