International Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A. announces repurchase of EUR
819,000,000 in aggregated principal amount of its outstanding EUR 825,000,000
1.125% senior unsecured convertible bonds due 2028

International Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A. (the "Purchaser") announces
the final results of its invitation to the Eligible Bondholders (as defined
below) of its outstanding EUR 825,000,000 1.125% Senior Unsecured Convertible
Bonds due 2028 with ISIN code: XS2343113101 (the "Bonds") to offer to sell up
to the outstanding principal amount of their Bonds to the Purchaser for cash
at the Final Repurchase Price (as defined below) by way of a reverse
bookbuilding process (the "Invitation").

The Invitation was announced by the Purchaser earlier today and was fully
described in an invitation term sheet (the "Invitation Term Sheet") prepared
by the Purchaser in connection with the Invitation.

The Purchaser announces that EUR 819,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of
the Bonds, which represents 99.3% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds currently outstanding, were validly tendered in the Invitation. The
Purchaser accepts all of the Bonds validly tendered for purchase pursuant to
the Invitation.

Eligible Bondholders whose Bonds are accepted for purchase in the Invitation
will receive (I) an amount in cash per EUR 100,000 in principal amount of
Bonds equal to EUR 138,950 (the "Initial Repurchase Price"), as adjusted to
reflect (a) the difference between (i) the average of the daily volume
weighted average prices of an ordinary share of the Purchaser with ISIN code
ES0177542018 quoted on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange plc (the
"Shares") on each of the two consecutive trading days commencing on (and
including) Monday, 11 May 2026 and (ii) the closing price of the Shares quoted
on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange plc on Friday, 8 May 2026, in
each case as converted into EUR at the Prevailing Rate (as specified in the
Invitation Term Sheet), and (b) the reference delta of the Bonds, being 99%
(such adjusted amount being the "Final Repurchase Price"), plus (II) accrued
and unpaid interest on those Bonds from and including 18 May 2026 to but
excluding the Settlement Date, which on the basis of the expected Settlement
Date will amount to EUR 3.06 per EUR 100,000 in principal amount of the Bonds.
The Final Repurchase Price is expected to be announced on Tuesday, 12 May 2026
following the close of trading.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Condition (as defined
in the Invitation Term Sheet), settlement of the repurchase of Bonds pursuant
to the Invitation is expected to occur on or around Tuesday, 19 May 2026 (the
"Settlement Date") following which the Purchaser intends to surrender the
Bonds for cancellation in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Bonds.

Following settlement of the Invitation, EUR 6,000,000 in aggregate principal
of the Bonds is expected to remain outstanding. Following the cancellation of
the tendered Bonds, as less than 15% of the principal amount of Bonds
originally issued will remain outstanding, the Purchaser intends to exercise
the clean-up call and redeem the remaining outstanding Bonds, in whole but not
in part, at their principal amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest,
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds.

The Invitation was only made to holders of the Bonds that are both (a) outside
the United States and (b) persons to whom the Invitation may otherwise
lawfully be made and who may lawfully participate in the Invitation (such
holders being the "Eligible Bondholders").

BofA Securities Europe SA ("BofA Securities") and HSBC Continental Europe
("HSBC") acted as Joint Dealer Managers for the Invitation.
