A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF BAWAG GROUP AG

TO BE IMPLEMENTED BY WAY OF A SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT UNDER CHAPTER 1 OF PART 9 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2014

Update on Timing of Publication and Despatch of Scheme Document

On 14 April 2026, the board of directors of Permanent TSB Group Holdings plc ("PTSBGH") and the management board of BAWAG P.S.K. Bank für Arbeit und Wirtschaft und Österreichische Postsparkasse Aktiengesellschaft ("BAWAG PSK"), a wholly owned subsidiary of BAWAG Group AG ("BAWAG"), announced that they had agreed the terms of a recommended acquisition of the entire issued share capital of PTSBGH (the "Acquisition").

It was also announced on 14 April 2026 that a scheme document, containing further information about the Acquisition and notices of a scheme meeting and extraordinary general meeting, together with the associated forms of proxy (the "Scheme Document"), would be posted to PTSBGH's shareholders within 28 days.

PTSBGH has applied to the High Court of Ireland for, but has not yet obtained, an order directing the convening the scheme meeting. Consequently, PTSBGH has sought, and obtained, from the Irish Takeover Panel an extension of the deadline for posting the Scheme Document until 5.00p.m. on Tuesday, 19 May 2026.

Notwithstanding the extended deadline, PTSBGH intends to finalise and post the Scheme Document as soon as reasonably practicable.

This announcement has been made with the consent of BAWAG PSK.

Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meanings as given to them in the Rule 2.7 announcement dated 14 April 2026.

Disclosure requirements of the Irish Takeover Rules

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Irish Takeover Rules, any person 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of "relevant securities" of PTSBGH must disclose all "dealings" in such "relevant securities" during the "offer period". The disclosure of a "dealing" in "relevant securities" by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (Irish time) on the business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the "offer period" ends. If two or more persons cooperate on the basis of any agreement either express or tacit, either oral or written, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of the offeree company, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules. A dealing disclosure must contain the details specified in Rule 8.6(b) of the Irish Takeover Rules, including details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in any "relevant securities" of PTSBGH.

All "dealings" in "relevant securities" of PTSBGH by a bidder, or by any party Acting in Concert with a bidder, must also be disclosed by no later than 12 noon (Irish time) on the "business" day following the date of the relevant transaction. If two or more persons co-operate on the basis of an agreement, either express or tacit, either oral or written, to acquire for one or more of them an interest in relevant securities, they will be deemed to be a single person for these purposes.

Disclosure tables, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant securities" and "dealings" should be disclosed, can be found on the Irish Takeover Panel's website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie.

"Interests" in securities arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks in this section are defined in the Irish Takeover Rules, which can also be found on the Irish Takeover Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a dealing under Rule 8, please consult the Irish Takeover Panel's website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie or contact the Irish Takeover Panel on telephone number +353 1 678 9020.
