The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. Bonn, August 10, 2026 Disclosure in accordance with Art. 5 (1) lit. a) of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 and Art. 2 (1) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1052 The Board of Management of Deutsche Telekom AG (“DTAG”) resolved in November 2025 to buy back DTAG shares (ISIN: DE0005557508) for a total purchase price (excluding transaction costs) of up to 2 billion euros under a new share buy-back program (‘2026 share buy-back program’). The repurchase began on January 5, 2026 with completion by the end of 2026 at the latest. In an ad hoc announcement dated August 6, 2026, DTAG announced an increase of the 2026 share buy-back program by a further amount of up to 3 billion euros to a total purchase price (excluding transaction costs) of up to 5 billion euros in total, while leaving the term unchanged. The own shares acquired under the 2026 share buy-back program will mainly be canceled and to a minor extent be used to service executive remuneration and employee share offerings. Shares are to be purchased in several tranches under the share buy-back program. A third tranche, with an original purchase price (excluding transaction costs) of up to 560 million euros, commenced on July 1, 2026 and was originally intended to be carried out by no later than September 30, 2026. As part of this third tranche, approximately 7,6 Million shares have been repurchased to date for a total purchase price (excluding transaction costs) of approximately EUR 203 million. The term of the third tranche will now be extended until and including December 22, 2026. The maximum total volume of up to 560 million euros from this third tranche will be increased by EUR 3.425 billion as of August 10, 2026 to up to EUR 3.985 billion. Thus, shares for a total purchase price of up to EUR 3.782 billion (excluding transaction costs) may still be repurchased up to and including December 22, 2026. Based on the price in the closing auction (trade-at-close) at Xetra trading of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on August 7, 2026 of EUR 29.04, this would amount to up to 130.2 million shares. The buy-back program is still to be carried out exclusively using Xetra trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The 2026 share buy-back program is based on the resolution of the DTAG shareholders’ meeting on April 9, 2025, under which the DTAG Board of Management has been authorized until and including April 8, 2030 to purchase shares up to a total of 10% of the share capital existing at the time of the resolution or - if this value is lower - of the share capital existing at the time this authorization is exercised. Based on the current share capital the maximum number of shares that DTAG may purchase under the existing authorization is therefore 484,977,805 shares. The consideration per share paid (excluding transaction costs) may not be more than 10 percent above or 20 percent below the market price of the shares determined by the opening auction on the trading day (day of purchase) in the Xetra trading system of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (or a successor system). Own shares will be purchased observing the principle of equal treatment of shareholders (§ 53a of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)) and in accordance with Art. 5 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16, 2014 as well as the provisions of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of March 8, 2016, commissioning one or several credit institutions. Each credit institution commissioned is to make its decision on the timing of the purchase of DTAG shares independently from and uninfluenced by DTAG. The DTAG shares will be purchased at market price in accordance with the conditions for trading pursuant to Art. 3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of March 8, 2016. In particular, the DTAG shares will not be purchased at a price higher than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out. Furthermore, DTAG will not purchase on any trading day more than 25 percent of the average daily volume of the shares on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out. The average daily volume is based on the average daily volume traded during the 20 trading days preceding the date of purchase. DTAG will obligate every credit institution commissioned with the purchase of own shares under the 2026 share buy-back program to act accordingly. The 2026 share buy-back program can be suspended and resumed again at any time if necessary and legally permitted. Information on transactions relating to the 2026 share buy-back program will be publicly disclosed appropriately in aggregate form no later than by the end of the seventh daily market session following the date of execution of such transactions. In addition, DTAG will publish the disclosed transactions on its website (www.telekom.com) under Investor Relations and will ensure that the information remains publicly available for at least five years from the date of disclosure. 10.08.2026 CET/CEST The EQS Distribution Services include Regulatory Announcements, Financial/Corporate News and Press Releases.
