Equinor Issues Corrective Buy-Back Update on Employee Share Programme

Corrective Notice Restates Program Figures

Equinor ASA issued a corrective stock-exchange announcement on 2 October 2026, restating figures from earlier disclosures under its share buy-back program that funds share-based incentive awards for employees and management. According to the notice, the correct cumulative number of shares previously disclosed under the program is 1,143,847,326, replacing figures reported in the 19 August 2026 stock-market announcement and the 18 September 2026 column headed "Previously disclosed buy-backs under the programme (accumulated)." The company identified the discrepancy as an error in those earlier filings rather than a change to the underlying program terms.

Program Size and Schedule

The buy-back program was originally announced on 4 February 2026 and runs from 13 February 2026 to 15 January 2027, with a total authorized purchase amount of NOK 1,971,000,000 and a maximum of 19,600,000 shares to be acquired. The notice sets out a split between two sub-periods: up to 7,920,000 shares may be acquired from 13 February 2026 to 15 May 2026, and up to 11,680,000 shares may be acquired from 15 May 2026 to 15 January 2027. Equinor ASA is listed on Oslo Børs under the ticker EQNR and on the New York Stock Exchange under the same symbol.

15 September 2026 Transaction

On 15 September 2026, Equinor ASA purchased 379,361 of its own shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange at a weighted average price of NOK 419.1253 per share, for a total transaction value of NOK 158,999,793. The aggregated table in the notice reports previously disclosed buy-backs under the program of 3,399,081 shares at a weighted average price of NOK 336.5166, bringing total buy-backs under the program to 3,778,442 shares at a weighted average price of NOK 344.8107, valued at NOK 1,302,847,119.

Cumulative Treasury Position

Following the 15 September 2026 transaction, Equinor ASA holds a total of 19,798,825 own shares, equal to 0.83% of the company's share capital. That figure includes shares purchased under the current program for the employee and management incentive schemes as well as shares acquired under the prior buy-back program that funded earlier share-based incentive awards. The notice does not indicate any change to the program's overall authorization or schedule.
