(PRESS RELEASE) AMSTERDAM, 24-May-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Stellantis N.V. (“Stellantis” or the “Company”) announced that pursuant to its Share Buyback Program (or the “Program”) announced on February 15, 2024, covering up to €3 billion (total purchase price excluding ancillary costs) to be executed in the open market, Stellantis has signed a share buyback agreement for the second tranche of its Program with an investment firm that will make its trading decisions concerning the timing of purchases independently of Stellantis.

This agreement will cover a maximum amount of up to €1 billion (of the €3 billion Share Buyback Program). The second tranche of the Program shall start on May 23, 2024, and end no later than August 30, 2024.

The Company intends to cancel the common shares acquired through its €3 billion Share Buyback Program apart from a portion of up to €0.5 billion, which will be utilized to execute future employee stock purchase plan activities and equity-based compensation. This is intended to support the benefits of expanding and strengthening the ownership culture of our teams, while avoiding dilution of existing shareholders.

The buyback of common shares in relation to this announcement will be carried out under the authority granted by the general meeting of shareholders held on April 16, 2024, up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s capital, or any renewed or extended authorization to be granted at a future general meeting of the Company. The purchase price per common share will be no higher than an amount equal to 110% of the market price of the shares on the NYSE, Euronext Milan or Euronext Paris (as the case may be). The market price will be calculated as the average of the highest price on each of the five days of trading prior to the date on which the acquisition is made, as shown in the official price list of the NYSE, Euronext Milan or Euronext Paris. The share buybacks will be carried out subject to market conditions and in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.

As of today, the remaining authorization stands at approximately 297 million shares and the Company held in treasury a total of 172.498.930 common shares equal to 4.28% of the total issued share capital including common shares and special voting shares.
