Banco Santander S.A.

11 December 2023

Banco Santander, S.A., ("Santander") in accordance with the provisions of the securities market legislation, communicates the following:

INSIDE INFORMATION

Santander has been informed by the European Central Bank ("ECB"), after following its Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process ("SREP"), of its decision regarding the minimum prudential capital requirements effective as of 1 January 2024.

The ECB's decision establishes a Pillar 2 requirement ("P2R") of 1.74% at a consolidated level of which at least 0.98% must be covered with Common Equity Tier 1 capital ("CET1"). The revised P2R entails an increase of 16 basis points over the previous decision, of which (i) 15 basis points are due to a methodological change in the determination of the P2R by the ECB, and (ii) 1 basis point reflects the increase of the capital add-on due to the ECB's prudential expectations on calendar provisioning in connection with non-performing loans.

The following table shows the minimum CET1 and total capital requirements applicable at the consolidated level as of 1 January 2023 and as of 1 January 2024, as well as Santander's ratios [1] as of 30 September 2023:

 
                          Minimum Requirement                 Data 
--------------- 
                  As of 01/01/2023   As of 01/01/2024   As of 30/09/2023 
---------------  -----------------  -----------------  ----------------- 
 
 CET1                  8.91%            9.60% [2]            12.35% 
                 -----------------  -----------------  ----------------- 
 
 Total Capital         13.11%           13.86% [3]           16.31% 
                 -----------------  -----------------  -----------------

As described in the table above, Santander maintains a surplus of capital over these requirements, both in CET1 and total capital terms.
