Eurofins Scientific SE (the "Company") (EUFI.PA) announces its intention to launch a new buy-back programme of its own shares (ISIN FR0014000MR3) for a maximum amount representing up to 4.5% of its share capital. This sixth programme follows the first programme that took place between 3 October 2022 and 8 August 2023, the second programme that took place between 25 October 2023 and 30 August 2024, the third programme that took place between 02 September 2024 and 20 December 2024, the fourth programme that took place between 23 December 2024 and 19 March 2025 and the fifth programme that took place between 20 March 2025 and 24 April 2025. The new programme is commencing on 25 April 2025 and will last until 24 April 2026 at the latest. The Company may at any time interrupt this programme in view of market conditions and/or the evolution of its investment strategy.

The shares to be purchased under this programme will be used to hedge the Company’s Long-Term Incentive plans but may also be cancelled, used to partially finance acquisitions or for other purposes approved by the Board of Directors and within the authorisation of the AGM held on 24 April 2025.

The Company is mandating an independent provider of financial services to execute the first tranche of this programme starting on 25 April 2025 and ending on 30 May 2025 with a maximum volume of 8,000,000 shares or 4.4% of its share capital. In addition to conducting share repurchases on regulated markets (limited to 25% of the average daily trading volume of shares over the past 20 trading days on the regulated markets where purchases are made), the independent provider of financial services is also authorised to purchase blocks of shares on the open market. Considering both shares repurchased on regulated markets as well as block purchases, the total amount of shares repurchased on any trading day cannot exceed 50% of the average daily trading volume of shares over the past 20 trading days on regulated markets.

Over the course of the fifth share buy-back programme, 3,737,475 shares were repurchased, representing 2.1% of the current share capital.
