Commencement of Share Buyback Programme

26 April 2024

Kingspan, the global leader in high performance insulation and building envelopes, announces that it intends to commence a limited Share Buyback Programme (the "Buyback") to repurchase up to 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares of €0.13 each (the "Shares") in the capital of the Company in order to offset dilution from share issuances.

Kingspan has entered into non-discretionary arrangements with Goodbody Stockbrokers UC ("Goodbody") to repurchase the Shares on its behalf, on a riskless principal basis, and to make trading decisions under the Buyback independently of Kingspan in accordance with certain pre-set parameters.

The Buyback will commence today, 26 April 2024 and will end no later than 31 December 2024 subject to market conditions. Under the terms of the Buyback, all Shares will be purchased by Goodbody on the Company's behalf for subsequent repurchase by the Company in each case on Euronext Dublin.

The Buyback is within the limits of the applicable authority granted by shareholders at today's Annual General Meeting.

The Buyback will also be conducted within the parameters prescribed by the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 ("MAR") as well as the listing rules of Euronext Dublin. For the purpose of MAR, the Buyback will enable the Company to meet obligations arising from share option programmes and Shares repurchased for this purpose will be held in treasury.

Kingspan will make further announcements following any repurchase of shares.  There is no guarantee that the Buyback will be implemented in full.
