Implementation of the Share Buyback

Danone has entrusted an investment service provider with a mandate to repurchase approximately 3.8 million of its own shares. According to the statement, this program aims to offset the dilutive impacts of capital increases reserved for employees and long-term compensation plans scheduled for 2026. The share buyback will begin on December 5, 2025, and will take place over several weeks. The repurchased shares will mainly be allocated to employee share ownership plans.
