OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
Further to the communication made on 6 March 2024, it is hereby announced that TELEFÓNICA EUROPE B.V. (the "Issuer"), the Dutch subsidiary of Telefónica, S.A., has today priced and closed the terms and conditions of an issuance of undated deeply subordinated guaranteed fixed rate reset securities, with the subordinated guarantee of Telefónica, S.A., for an aggregate nominal amount of EUR 1,100,000,000 and intended to be issued as green bonds (EUR 1,100,000,000 Undated 8.1 Year Non-Call Deeply Subordinated Guaranteed Fixed Rate Reset Securities (Green Bond) unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed on a subordinated basis by Telefónica, S.A.) (the "Securities").
The main terms and conditions of the Securities are as follows:
The issue price of the Securities is fixed at 100% of their face value. The Securities will bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.7522% per annum from (and including) 15 March 2024 up to (but excluding) 15 April 2032.
From (and including) 15 April 2032, the Securities will bear interest at a fixed rate of interest equal to the applicable 8 year Swap Rate plus a margin of:
•3.121% per year from (and including) 15 April 2032 to (but excluding) 15 April 2034;
•3.371% per year from (and including) 15 April 2034 to (but excluding) 15 April 2052; and

Interest shall be payable annually in arrear starting on 15 April 2025 (long first coupon).
The Securities will have a face value per unit of 100,000 euros and will be perpetual, although they will be subject to a call option exercisable by the Issuer on certain dates and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events as set out in the terms and conditions of the Securities. In addition, the Securities may be redeemed at any time at the redemption price (Make Whole Redemption Amount) to be calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securities. The Issuer may defer payment of the interest accrued on the Securities at its sole discretion (the "Deferred Interest") without triggering an event of default. The Deferred Interest will in turn accrue interest and will be payable at the option of the Issuer at any time or on a compulsory basis in certain circumstances as set out in the terms and conditions of the Securities.
The Securities will be governed by English Law, and it is envisaged that they will be listed and admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market (GEM), the multilateral trading facility of the Irish Stock Exchange plc, trading as Euronext Dublin.
The issue is addressed exclusively at professional clients and eligible counterparties.
