Today, Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. ("Rabobank") announces an invitation to eligible holders of Rabobank Certificates (ISIN: XS1002121454) issued by Rabobank (the "Certificates" and holders of such Certificates, the "Holders") to tender such Certificates to Rabobank for purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") up to (and including) a maximum aggregate nominal amount of EUR 1 billion, corresponding to 40 million Certificates, on the terms and subject to the conditions described in the tender offer memorandum dated 9 November 2026 (the "Tender Offer Memorandum").

The Tender Offer Memorandum and other tender offer documents are available from the Tender Agent and available at www.rabobank.com/certificates as set out below. The purpose of the Tender Offer is to allow Rabobank to actively manage its capital position while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Key terms and indicative timetable

Rabobank offers eligible Holders a purchase price for each Certificate validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer (following any scaling) equal to the sum of:

  1. a cash purchase price (expressed as a percentage) equal to 113 per cent. of the nominal amount of each Certificate (i.e., EUR 28.25 per EUR 25 nominal amount) (the "Clean Purchase Price"); and
  2. an amount equal to the pro rata part of the potential future distribution expected to be made on the next Distribution Date (as defined in the Distribution Policy), payable by purchasers of Certificates to the respective sellers of such Certificates on the Settlement Date in respect of trades on Euronext Amsterdam as per customary practice on Euronext Amsterdam (the "Amount Attributable to the Potential Future Distribution"),

which together constitute the "Purchase Price".

Based on the settlement expected to take place on 24 November 2026 and subject to any extension of the Tender Offer period and related deferral of the Settlement Date, the Amount Attributable to the Potential Future Distribution per Certificate validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer is expected to be0.9931 per cent. of the nominal amount of the Certificates (i.e., EUR 0.24826 per EUR 25 nominal amount).

The Amount Attributable to the Potential Future Distribution payable as part of the Purchase Price reflects the trading mode of the Certificates on Euronext Amsterdam (i.e., a 'clean' quoted price and separate payments related to the potential future distribution), does not constitute a distribution on any Certificate, does not guarantee any future distributions and is without prejudice to the full discretion of the Managing Board of Rabobank to elect not to make distributions on Certificates at any time.

The Tender Offer commences today and will expire at 17.00 hours CET on 20 November 2026 (the "Expiration Deadline"), unless extended, withdrawn, re-opened or terminated in the sole and absolute discretion of Rabobank, as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum. The results of the Tender Offer will be announced as soon as practicable following the Expiration Deadline. Settlement is expected to take place on 24 November 2026.
