London, 4 November 2026

Lion Finance Group PLC announces GEL 62.0 million share buyback programme extension

Lion Finance Group PLC (the "Company" or the “Group”) announces today that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved a GEL 62.0 million extension to the buyback and cancellation programme (the "Programme").  The Programme is consistent with the Group's capital return policy to target a dividend/share buyback payout ratio in the range of 30-50% of annual profits.

The programme will commence shortly and end no later than the Company's Annual General Meeting 2027 (expected to be in May 2027). The shares will be purchased in the open market.  The purpose of the buyback is to reduce the Group's share capital, and the cancellation of the treasury shares repurchased will be executed on a monthly basis. The Programme will be conducted within certain pre-set parameters, and in accordance with the general authority to repurchase shares granted at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, Chapter 9 of the FCA UK Listing Rules, and the provisions of the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014/EU and of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (as they form part of UK domestic law). The maximum number of shares that may be repurchased under the programme is 4,084,870. The Company has appointed Cavendish Capital Markets Limited ("Cavendish") to manage the Programme. During any closed periods the Company and its directors have no power to invoke any changes to the Programme and it will be executed at the sole discretion of Cavendish.

The Company will make further announcements in due course following the completion of any share repurchases.
