The Week's Transactions
The report opens by saying it provides information about transactions made under the third tranche of the 2026 share buy-back programme for Equinor ASA, whose shares carry the tickers EQNR and EQNRO. It says the tranche was announced on July 22, 2026, and that purchases run from July 23 "to no later than 26 October 2026."
A table breaks the week into five trading days. On September 21 the company bought 136,000 shares at an average of NOK 412.1174, and on September 22 it bought 144,493 shares at NOK 397.3104.

Those five daily purchases add up to the weekly total of 701,262 shares.
Cumulative Progress for the Tranche
The filing separates the current week from what it calls previously disclosed purchases. Before this week, the tranche had reached 5,567,791 shares at an average of NOK 393.3827, for NOK 2,190,272,928.71. Adding the September 21 to 25 activity brings the tranche to 6,269,053 shares at an average price of NOK 394.7910, or NOK 2,474,965,565.91 in total.
The document does not state the overall size of the tranche in shares or kroner, so the filing on its own does not show how much of the tranche remains to be executed.
After the week's transactions, the filing says Equinor "owns a total of 20,903,788 own shares, corresponding to 0.87% of Equinor ASA's share capital, including shares under Equinor's share savings programme." The filing adds that, excluding shares under the share savings programme, Equinor owns 9,804,028 own shares, corresponding to 0.41% of the share capital. The filing does not describe what will be done with the repurchased shares.
About the Filing Itself
The report states that the information is something Equinor "is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation" and that it is subject to disclosure requirements under Section 5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. In practice, this means the weekly report is driven by European and Norwegian market rules, and Equinor also furnishes it to the SEC as a foreign private issuer on Form 6-K.
The main document also points readers to an appended, aggregated and detailed overview of the transactions, which is included as a PDF attachment to the filing and is referenced as available at newsweb.no. That attachment carries the trade-level data behind the daily averages shown in the table. The cover page lists Equinor's Commission File Number as 1-15200 and indicates that the company files annual reports on Form 20-F.
Equinor Tranche Runs to October 26, 2026
The tranche is scheduled to run through no later than October 26, 2026. Each weekly report updates the cumulative share count, the average price and the total number of own shares held, which stood at 20,903,788 after the week of September 21 to 25.
