Initiation of Share Buyback Programme

Glenveagh Properties plc ("Glenveagh" or the "Group") announces that it has entered arrangements today with J&E Davy ("Davy") to repurchase ordinary shares of 0.001 each (the "Shares") on Glenveagh's behalf for a maximum aggregate consideration of up to €50 million (the "Buyback").

The purpose of the Buyback is to reduce the share capital of Glenveagh and it will be conducted in accordance with (and within the parameters prescribed by) the Company's general authority to repurchase Shares as approved by shareholders at the Company's AGM on 2 May 2024 (and as such authority may be renewed and/or amended). All Shares repurchased will be cancelled.

The Buyback will commence later today, 6 September 2024, and may continue until 31 December 2025 subject to market conditions, the ongoing capital requirements of the business and in accordance with the Group's capital allocation strategy. Under the terms of the Buyback, the Shares will be repurchased on Euronext Dublin and will be subsequently cancelled.

Glenveagh has entered non-discretionary instructions with Davy, acting as principal, to conduct the Buyback on Glenveagh's behalf and to make trading decisions under the Buyback independently of Glenveagh in accordance with certain pre-set parameters.

The Buyback will at all times be conducted in accordance with (and within the parameters prescribed by) the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)2016/1052 (including as it forms part of retained EU law in the United Kingdom from time to time, and, where relevant, pursuant to the UK's European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and the UK's Market Abuse (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019) and in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Euronext Dublin Listing Rules and Chapter 12 of the UK Financial Conduct Authority Listing Rules as well as the rules of the Central Bank of Ireland.

The execution of the Buyback may be augmented by the purchase of Shares by way of block trades. The maximum number of shares which can be repurchased by the Group under the Buyback will be reduced by the corresponding amount of capital returned through block trades.

There is no guarantee that the Buyback will be implemented in full.
