NOTIFICATION AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EU MARKET ABUSE REGULATION OF TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND PERSONS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.
 
On 5 December 2024, the following awards of US$0.20 ordinary shares (the "Shares") in Smith & Nephew plc (the "Company") vested under an award agreement to Deepak Nath. 
 
VESTING OF A PERFORMANCE AWARD AND RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS GRANTED UNDER THE AWARD AGREEMENT DATED 29 APRIL 2022
 
As set out in the announcement published on 3 May 2022, a Performance Award over 97,360 shares was granted to Deepak Nath with an expected vest date of 12 November 2024. The vest of this award was subject to the performance conditions applicable to the performance stock award over Siemens Healthineers AG ("SH") shares originally granted to Mr Nath by SH on 13 November 2020.
 
In accordance with the terms of the award agreement, the expected vest date of 12 November 2024 was delayed so that the applicable performance criteria attaching to the Performance Award could be measured against the financial results of SH which were announced on 6 November 2024. It has been determined that, following completion of the performance measurement period, 77.29% of the award vests. 75,254 shares were therefore available for vest with the remaining balance of shares, 22,106, lapsing with immediate effect.
 
Also as set out in the announcement published on 3 May 2022, Restricted Share Awards over 3,015 shares with an expected vesting date of 8 November 2024 and 4,788 shares with an expected vesting date of 13 November 2024 were granted. The vesting of these awards was delayed to coincide with the vesting of the Performance Share Award described above. Accordingly, awards over a total of 83,057 shares have vested on 5 December 2024.
