Material Changes
UBS Group AG (including its investment bank and wealth management divisions) notified the issuer of a change in its total voting rights position on May 30, 2025. The total position decreased from a previously reported 4.08% to 2.17% of the issuer's voting rights. This reduction was primarily driven by a decrease in voting rights held through financial instruments.
- Previous Total Position: 4.08% (2.07% direct shares + 2.00% financial instruments).
- Current Total Position: 2.17% (0.01% direct shares + 2.16% financial instruments).
- Threshold Crossed: The 3% threshold was crossed downwards.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total number of voting rights outstanding for Ryanair Holdings PLC (reported as 1,063,182,286).
- Confirm the specific composition of UBS Group AG's financial instruments, noting the significant portion held via "Right to Substitute Shares Delivered as Collateral" (1.39%).
- Monitor future filings to determine if the 2.17% stake represents a strategic exit or a temporary reduction in leverage.
- Check subsequent 20-F filings for actual financial performance metrics, as this 6-K contains none.
