With the publication of the revised framework in March 2025, the allocation of all bonds currently with issued capital outstanding have been published under this revised framework (including the bond which was issued in 2018).

VGP issued a bond on 9 January 2026 with a nominal amount of € 600 million, paying a coupon of 4 per cent p.a. and maturing on 16 January 2032. An amount equal to the net proceeds from the issuance of the Bonds will be used to finance and/or refinance a portfolio of eligible assets in accordance with the VGP Sustainable Finance Framework and as such will be reported in the allocation report 2026 (to be published early 2027). Sustainable Finance Framework Sustainable Finance is considered one of the main enabling levers of VGP's financing plan. To reinforce the link between the Group's financial and sustainable strategy, VGP issued a Green Finance Framework in 2021. The framework was then updated in March 2025 1 . S&P has issued a Second Party Opinion (SPO) confirming the solidity of the Sustainable Finance Framework, attesting its alignment with the ICMA and LMA principles. The agency has assigned a "Light Green" rating. 2 The framework covers the following five categories of Eligible Projects contributing to several Sustainable Development Goals: The Sustainable Finance Framework is available on VGP website: vgp-sustainable-finance-framework.pdf The S&P Second Party Opinion (SPO) as issued over the 2025 allocation report is available on the VGP website and can be found under the Debt section on the VGP Investors website. EU Taxonomy Fact sheet These Green Bonds support and strengthen the implementation of VGP's sustainability strategy focused on Energy Transition and Circular Economy, pursuing the climate change mitigation environmental objective as referred to in Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852. VGP has taken into account the technical screening criteria ("TSC") for substantial contribution to the six environmental objectives of the EU Commission stemming from the Delegated Acts of the EU Taxonomy Regulation to draft the eligibility criteria for Eligible Green Projects defined below when applicable. Furthermore, VGP commits to providing in each allocation reporting the share of the amount equivalent to the net proceeds that have been allocated to projects fully aligned with the EU Taxonomy Regulation (including the TSC for substantial contribution, the Do No Significant Harm ("DNSH") criteria and the Minimum Social Safeguards ("MSS").
