As announced on 24 February 2023, the proposed acquisition of Air Europa is subject to regulatory and other approvals. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, the shares purchased under the Programme alternatively may be used to satisfy share awards to executives and employees (including executive directors) made under the IAG share-based incentive plans.
