Allfunds reports on the progress of its share buyback programme

Allfunds is committed to maintaining a healthy CET1 ratio above the prevailing fully-loaded minimum capital requirement at AFB Banking Group level (Allfunds Bank, S.A.U. and its subsidiaries, together with Liberty Partners SLU). At the same time, Allfunds aims to offer a sustainable and attractive return to shareholders. As announced on our IPO Prospectus dated 16 April 2021, Allfunds' distribution policy is to pay-out 20% - 40% of Adjusted Net income (net income after adjustments, excluding extraordinary items). This pay-out is made in the form of cash only. Additional distributions could be considered periodically, taking into account alternative opportunities, macro-economic circumstances and other factors considered important by the Board of Directors.

The aim is to pay a cash-only final dividend, but the Board of Directors may resolve to distribute an interim dividend if this is justified. The exact form and level of the final distribution will be subject to approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Distribution proposals will reflect considerations that are relevant to a capital plan, including expected future capital requirements, growth opportunities available to the Group and regulatory developments.
