Equinor has continued its previously announced share buy-back programme earmarked for employee and management incentive schemes, purchasing 472,602 shares on 13 March 2026 on the Oslo Stock Exchange at an average price of NOK 336.4350. This brings total buy-backs under the current programme to 1,068,721 shares worth NOK 317,999,694, and corrects an earlier disclosure that mistakenly included January volumes in the new programme’s figures.

Following the latest transactions, Equinor now holds 63,756,322 treasury shares, equal to 2.49% of its share capital, reflecting ongoing capital management and potential future share capital reduction. The clarified data enhances transparency for investors under EU market abuse and Norwegian securities rules, while underlining the company’s continued reliance on equity-based remuneration as part of its employee and executive compensation structure.
