BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO p.l.c. ANNOUNCES FINAL RESULTS IN RESPECT OF ITS TENDER OFFER FOR EURO-DENOMINATED PERPETUAL SUBORDINATED FIXED-TO-RESET RATE NON-CALL 5.25 YEAR SECURITIES

The Offer was made on the terms and subject to the conditions (including, without limitation, the New Financing Condition) contained in the tender offer memorandum dated 21 October 2025 (the “Tender Offer Memorandum”) prepared by the Company in respect of the Offer.

Securities purchased by the Company pursuant to the Offer will be cancelled on the Settlement Date.

Subject to satisfaction, or waiver, of the New Financing Condition on or prior to the Settlement Date, the expected Settlement Date for the Offer is 31 October 2025.
