Pursuant to Dutch insider trading laws and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2273/2003, the Company is subject to conditions for share buy-back programmes and disclosure relating thereto, as described below.

Under Dutch Civil law, the Company may acquire its own shares, subject to certain provisions of the law of the Netherlands and the Articles of Association, if (i) the shareholders’ equity less the payment required to make the acquisition does not fall below the sum of paid-up and called portion of the share capital and any reserves required by the law of the Netherlands and (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries would not thereafter hold or hold in pledge shares with an aggregate nominal value exceeding one-tenth of the Company’s issued share capital. Share acquisitions may be effected by the Board of Directors only if the shareholders in general meeting have authorised the Board of Directors to effect such repurchases. Such authorisation may apply for a maximum period of 18 months.

Shares held by the Company do not carry voting rights. Usufructuaries and pledgees of shares that are held by the Company are, however, not excluded from their voting rights in such cases where the right of usufruct or pledge was vested before the share was held by the Company.

The annual shareholders’ meeting of EADS held on 11th May 2005 authorised the Board of Directors, in a resolution that renewed the previous authorisation given by the annual shareholders’ meeting of EADS held on 6th May 2004, for a period of 18 months from the date of such meeting, to repurchase shares of the Company, by any means, including by derivative products, on any stock exchange or otherwise, as long as, upon such repurchase, the Company shall not hold more than 5% of the Company’s issued share capital and at a price not less than the nominal value and not more than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out.

As of July 2005, the Company had purchased in aggregate 10,275,521 of its own shares, 1,336,358 of which were cancelled on 25th July 2005.

As of the date of this document, the Company had purchased in aggregate 3,686,270 of its own shares. In addition, 11 million of repurchased shares are being lent to a top ranking French financial institution within the framework of a securities lending agreement implemented as from 10th April to 2nd May 2006 inclusive.

A resolution will be submitted to the annual shareholders’ meeting of EADS called for 4th May 2006 in order to supersede and replace the authorisation given by the annual shareholders’ meeting held on 11th May 2005 and authorize the Board of Directors, for a new period of 18 months as from the date of such meeting, to repurchase shares of the Company, by any means, including by derivative products, on any stock exchange or otherwise, as long as, upon such repurchase, the Company shall not hold more than 10% of the Company’s issued share capital and at a price not less than the nominal value and not more than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out.
