Update on share repurchase programme TBC Bank Group PLC ("TBC PLC") announces that following the purchased ordinary shares on Wednesday 14 August 2019, the first part of the share repurchase programme (the "Programme"), managed by Renaissance Securities (Cyprus) Limited ("Rencap"), which was announced on 29 July 2019, was completed in accordance with its terms. In aggregate, between 29 July 2019 and 14 August 2018, TBC PLC repurchased 144,380 ordinary shares. Following the establishment of the TBC Bank Group PLC employee benefit trust (EBT) as announced separately today, TBC has decided to fund the EBT and to recommend that the trustees of the EBT acquire 451,000 shares through on-market transactions to satisfy share awards to be made under the TBC Bank Group PLC Deferred Share Plan. Taking into account the fact that TBC is funding EBT share purchase programme, TBC PLC does not currently intend to direct Rencap, or any other broker, to repurchase additional ordinary shares under the Programme. If this should change, an appropriate announcement will be made at the time.
