Airbus SE (ticker: AIR) is launching the second tranche of a stock repurchase program announced on September 8, 2025, which is being implemented for the purpose of supporting future employee stock ownership plan activities and stock-based compensation plans.

The program will be implemented in multiple tranches, on the open market, during the period ending January 16, 2026, for a maximum number of 4,140,000 shares (with the maximum cash amount required to acquire the target number of shares at fixed prices in accordance with the Delegating Regulation, will be implemented in one or more tranches). The first tranche of the program, which was completed on October 31, 2025, resulted in the repurchase of 2,070,000 shares.

Airbus has engaged an investment company to manage the implementation of the second tranche of the programme, which will include a maximum amount of 2,070,000 shares, starting on 20 November 2025 and ending no later than 16 January 2026. The investment company will make its trading decisions regarding the timing of the purchases independently of Airbus.

The Program will be implemented subject to market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, including Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on Market Abuse (“EU Market Abuse Regulation”) and Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1052 (“Delegated Regulation”).

The program is being implemented pursuant to the power granted by shareholders to the Board of Directors of Airbus at the annual general meeting of Airbus held on 15 April 2025, to repurchase up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the company. The program is intended to support the implementation of future employee stock ownership plan activities and equity-based compensation, while avoiding dilution of existing shareholders.
