ING Reports Progress on €1.0 Billion Share Buyback Program

ING, a global financial institution with a strong European presence, announced progress on its share buyback program. As of the week of September 7 to September 11, 2026, ING repurchased 1,380,000 shares at an average price of €31.82, totaling €43,905,995.00. This brings the total number of shares repurchased under the €1.0 billion program to 26,310,805, with an average price of €27.97 and a total consideration of €735,916,667.99. Approximately 73.59% of the maximum total value of the share buyback program has been completed.

The share buyback program aims to reduce ING’s share capital, reflecting the company’s strategic focus on optimizing its capital structure. ING’s commitment to sustainability is also evident, as the company has seen its ESG rating upgraded to AAA by MSCI in October 2025. According to Sustainalytics, ING’s management of ESG material risks is rated as strong, with an ESG risk rating of 16.7 (low risk). The company’s shares are listed on the exchanges of Amsterdam, Brussels, and the New York Stock Exchange.

ING’s operations are spread across more than 100 countries, with its retail and wholesale banking services offered through its operating company, ING Bank. The bank’s mission is to empower people to stay a step ahead in life and in business, reflecting its dedication to customer service and financial solutions. As of July 2026, ING’s securities are included in major sustainability and ESG index products of leading providers, such as Euronext, STOXX, Morningstar, and FTSE Russell.

The share buyback program is part of ING’s broader strategy to enhance shareholder value and maintain a strong capital position. The company continues to navigate a complex landscape of economic and regulatory challenges, including the impact of the invasion of Russia into Ukraine and related international response measures. ING remains committed to addressing these challenges while pursuing its strategic goals.

In summary, ING’s share buyback program is progressing well, with significant progress made towards the €1.0 billion target. The company’s commitment to sustainability and its strong market presence underscore its position as a leading financial institution.
