Notes due 2028 (Reg. S ISIN: XS1819680288; Reg. S Common Code: 181968028; Rule 144A ISIN: US035198AB62; Rule 144A CUSIP number: 035198AB6; Rule 144A Common Code: 181968087) (the "Existing Notes") to tender such Existing Notes for purchase by the Republic for cash up to an amount such that the total Purchase Price (excluding Accrued Interest) (each as defined herein) is equal to the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price (as defined below) (the "Offer"), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the tender offer memorandum dated 24 March 2026 (the "Tender Offer Memorandum"). 

All documentation relating to the Offer including the Tender Offer Memorandum and any amendments or supplements thereto will be available to Noteholders via the website for the Tender Offer accessible at: https://debtxportal.issuerservices.citigroup.com. The Offer is subject to offer restrictions in, among other countries, the United Kingdom, Italy and France, as described below. Capitalized terms used in this announcement but not defined have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum. 

Summary of the Offer

1      The purchase price is presented per U.S.$1,000 of the original principal amount of the Existing Notes accepted for purchase. In addition to paying the applicable Purchase Price in respect of Existing Notes accepted for purchase, the Republic will also pay accrued and unpaid interest on such Existing Notes.

2      Subject to applicable law, the Republic expressly reserves the right, but is not obligated to, increase or decrease the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price in its sole and absolute discretion without extending the Expiration Deadline (as defined herein) or otherwise providing withdrawal rights. The Republic also reserves the right not to accept any of the Existing Notes for purchase pursuant to any of the Offer.

The Republic is not under any obligation to accept for purchase any Existing Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer.  The acceptance for purchase by the Republic of Existing Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer is at the sole and absolute discretion of the Republic and tenders may be rejected by the Republic for any reason.

Rationale for the Offer

The Republic is making the Offer (subject to the New Financing Condition and the other terms and conditions set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum) concurrently with the New Notes Offering (as defined herein) in order to proactively and efficiently manage its external liabilities.

The Republic reserves the right to reject or accept any Existing Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer Memorandum in its sole and absolute discretion.

Tender Consideration Payable to Noteholders

The Republic will pay for the Existing Notes accepted by it for purchase pursuant to the Offer a tender consideration equal to (i) U.S.$1,020.00 per U.S.$1,000 in principal amount of Existing Notes (the "Purchase Price") plus (ii) Accrued Interest thereon (the "Tender Consideration").

The Republic will calculate any Accrued Interest with respect to Existing Notes accepted for purchase, and the calculation will be final and binding on all Noteholders whose Existing Notes were accepted for purchase, absent manifest error.

Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price and Proration

The Republic is offering to purchase its outstanding Existing Notes for cash up to an amount such that the total Purchase Price (excluding Accrued Interest) is equal to the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price, subject to the conditions set forth in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Subject to applicable law, the Republic expressly reserves the right, but is not obligated to, increase or decrease the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price in its sole and absolute discretion without extending the Expiration Deadline or otherwise providing withdrawal rights.

In the event that proration with respect to tendered Existing Notes is required as a result of the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price, such tenders will be subject to proration on the basis described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

New Financing Condition

The Republic announced today its intention to issue one or more new series of US dollar-denominated notes (the "New Notes" and such offering, the "New Notes Offering"), subject to market conditions.  Whether the Republic will accept for purchase Existing Notes validly tendered in the Offer is conditional (unless such condition is waived by the Republic in its sole and absolute discretion) upon the closing of the New Notes Offering on terms acceptable to the Republic (as determined by the Republic in its sole and absolute discretion) (the "New Financing Condition"). Even if the New Financing Condition is satisfied, the Republic is not under any obligation to accept for purchase any Existing Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer.

Existing Notes that are not tendered or accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding.

Priority in Allocation of New Notes

The Republic will, in connection with the allocation of potential New Notes, consider among other factors whether or not the relevant investor seeking an allocation of the New Notes has, prior to pricing and allocation of the New Notes, validly tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender their Existing Notes pursuant to the Offer. Therefore, a Noteholder that wishes to subscribe for any New Notes in addition to validly tendering Existing Notes or indicating a firm intention to tender their Existing Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer may, at the sole discretion of the Republic, receive priority in the allocation of the New Notes, subject to (i) the terms set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum, (ii) the satisfaction of the New Financing Condition and (iii) such Noteholder also making a separate application for the purchase of such New Notes to a Dealer Manager (in its capacity as Joint Lead Manager of the issue of the New Notes) in accordance with the standard new issue procedures of such Joint Lead Manager and as set out below. The aggregate principal amount of New Notes for which a Noteholder may receive priority in allocation may be in an amount (determined at the sole discretion of the Republic) up to the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes validly tendered by such Noteholder in the Offer or the amount of the Existing Notes such Noteholder has indicated its firm intention to tender. However the Republic is not obliged to allocate any New Notes to a Noteholder who has validly tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender Existing Notes pursuant to the Offer; and if New Notes are allocated to a Noteholder, the principal amount thereof may be less (or more) than the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes validly tendered by such Noteholder in the Offer and accepted for purchase by the Republic. Any such priority allocation will also take into account (among other factors) the minimum denomination of the New Notes, being U.S.$200,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.

Noteholders are advised that the pricing and allocation of the New Notes will likely take place prior to the Expiration Deadline and, as such, Noteholders who wish to subscribe for New Notes in addition to tendering Existing Notes for purchase in the Offer are advised to contact a Dealer Manager, in its capacity as a Joint Lead Manager, as soon as possible prior to the allocation of the New Notes in order to request priority in the allocation of the New Notes.

In the event that a Noteholder validly tenders Existing Notes pursuant to the Offer, such Existing Notes will remain subject to such tender and the conditions set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum irrespective of whether that Noteholder receives all, part or none of any allocation of any New Notes for which it has applied.
