Based on Article 14 of the UEFA Champions League Regulations (UCL Regulations) the following
draw procedure has been adopted by the Club Competitions Committee.

Match system (Paragraph 15.01 UCL regulations)

“The qualifying phase and play-offs follow the knockout system, whereby each team plays each opponent twice, in
home and away matches.”

Draw system and conditions (Paragraphs 14.01, 14.02 and 14.03 UCL regulations)

14.01 “A draw between the same number of seeded and unseeded clubs determines the ties for the qualifying phase
and play-offs. Clubs are seeded for these draws in accordance with the club coefficient rankings established at the
beginning of the season (see Annex D) and with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee. If, for any
reason, any of the participants in the round in question are not known at the time of the draw, the coefficient of the
club with the higher coefficient of the two clubs involved in an undecided tie is used for the purposes of the draw.”

14.02 “The UEFA administration may form groups for the draw in accordance with the principles set by the Club
Competitions Committee.”

14.03 “A draw is conducted to determine the ties of each match and which team plays the first leg match at home.”

In accordance with the relevant decisions of the UEFA Executive Committee, teams from the following associations
may not be drawn against each other:

Armenia – Azerbaijan
Gibraltar – Spain
Kosovo – Bosnia-Herzegovina
Kosovo – Serbia
Kosovo – Russia*
Ukraine – Russia*
Ukraine – Belarus

* All teams from Russia are suspended until further notice by the decision of the Executive Committee of 28 February
2022, and as confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 15 July 2022.

Draw system (Champions Path)

The 10 teams (4 that enter the competition at this stage and the 6 pairings coming from the third qualifying round
ties, indicated for the purposes of this draw as Winners of Pairing 1 to 6) are divided equally into 5 seeded and 5
unseeded teams and/or pairings.

As the teams qualifying from the third qualifying round are not known at the time of the draw, the coefficient of the
team with the higher coefficient of the two teams involved in each undecided tie is used for the seeding for the
purposes of the draw. Therefore, if a team in a third qualifying round tie that has a coefficient that would entitle it
to be seeded for the play-offs draw, the winner of that tie is automatically seeded for the draw.

Draw procedure (Champions Path)

Three bowls are prepared for the draw, with the balls containing the names of the seeded and unseeded teams
and/or pairings placed in the corresponding marked bowls.

3
One ball is then taken from each of these bowls and placed in the third empty central bowl, where they are shuffled.
The first team and/or pairing then drawn from this bowl is considered the home team for the first leg of the first tie,
which they will play against the second team and/or pairing drawn.

The process is then repeated with the remaining balls to complete all the ties.

Draw system (League Path)

The 4 winners of the third qualifying round ties, indicated for the purposes of this draw as Winners of Pairing 1 to 4
are divided equally into 2 seeded and 2 unseeded pairings.

As the teams qualifying from the third qualifying round are not known at the time of the draw, the coefficient of the
team with the higher coefficient of the two teams involved in each undecided tie is used for the seeding for the
purposes of the draw. Therefore, if a team in a third qualifying round tie that has a coefficient that would entitle it to
be seeded for the play-offs draw, the winner of that tie is automatically seeded for the draw.

Grouping (League Path)

Winners of Pairing 1 FC Dynamo Kyiv (UKR) - Rangers FC (SCO)

Winners of Pairing 2 SK Slavia Praha (CZE) - R. Union Saint-Gilloise (BEL)
Winners of Pairing 3 FC Salzburg (AUT) - FC Twente (NED)

play against the second pairing drawn.
