2025/2026 Share buy-back programme

Glencore plc (the "Company") announces the commencement of a programme to make market purchases of its ordinary shares (the "Shares") of an aggregate value of up to USD 1 billion (the "Programme"), subject to market conditions, with completion planned to be by the time of the release of our financial results for the 2025 year in February 2026.

The Programme will be effected in accordance with the terms of the authority granted by shareholders at the 2025 AGM, to acquire no more than 1,809,287,297 Shares (of which 41,121,000 have already been purchased). The Programme's purpose is to reduce the capital of the Company. It is currently intended that any Shares purchased will be held in treasury.

The Company has entered into an agreement with UBS AG, London Branch (the "Bank") to conduct the Programme, under which trading decisions may be undertaken by the Bank in accordance with the directions of the Company. If the Company is unable to do so, the Bank is mandated to make trading decisions concerning purchases under the Programme independently of the Company.

The Bank may undertake transactions in the Shares (which may include sales as well as purchases and may include participation in block purchases) in order to meet its obligations pursuant to its agreement with the Company.

The implementation of the Programme is in line with the Company's stated financial policies and thresholds.

Any buy-back of the Shares pursuant to the Programme will be effected in accordance with Chapter 9 of the UK Listing Rules as well as the EU Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (as they form part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended)).

The market will be notified in accordance with those rules when purchases are made.

As described in the Company's notice of AGM published in April 2025, the Company continues to progress alternative buy-back programme structures in order to preserve its capital contribution reserves and mitigate the future effect of Swiss withholding tax charges on distributions and buybacks. It expects to be able to provide an update during this month or next month. If a suitable alternative buy-back programme structure is finalised, then subject to receiving the necessary approvals, the Company would amend the remaining portion of the Programme so that it continues to operate under that structure.
