other relevant information

Further to the relevant U.S. dollar LIBOR discontinuation on 30 June 2023, Banco Santander announces, in relation to its USD 1,200,000,000 Non-Step-Up Non-Cumulative Contingent Convertible Perpetual Preferred Tier 1 Securities (ISIN code XS1951093894) (the “Preferred Securities”) that, in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Securities of the relevant prospectus dated 7 February 2019 (the “Terms and Conditions”), and in particular pursuant to its Condition 3, it has determined that for any applicable Reset Date, the industry-accepted substituted or successor rate for the 5-year Mid-Swap Rate in connection with the floating leg portion of its calculation that will apply shall be the relevant USD SOFR Spread-Adjusted ICE Swap Rate published by the ICE Benchmark Administration (the “SOFR Spread-Adjusted ICE Swap Rate”).

For these purposes, as contemplated in the Terms and Conditions, Banco Santander will, in any applicable Reset Date, conduct a dealer poll for obtaining the 5-year Mid-Swap Rate Quotations (based on the SOFR Spread-Adjusted ICE Swap Rate) and the Agent Bank will subsequently determine the Reset Reference Bank Rate as of the specified date and time, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.

Nothing in this notice affects the right of Banco Santander to early redeem the Preferred Securities, which is subject in any event to the Terms and Conditions and the prior authorisation required from the European Central Bank.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them under the Terms and Conditions.

The foregoing is hereby disclosed as other relevant information for all relevant purposes.
