Smiths News plc

Director/PDMR Shareholding

Smiths News plc (the "Company") announces that it has been notified of the following transactions in the Company's ordinary 5p shares undertaken by directors / persons discharging managerial responsibility:

Long Term Incentive Plan FY2023 - 2025 ('LTIP')

The following awards were granted as conditional awards, where a participant may receive an allocation of shares following the normal vesting date, subject to the extent to which the applicable performance conditions have been satisfied at the end of the three-year performance period and their continuing employment at that time.

As indicated in the Company's Directors' Remuneration Report (published as part of the Company's 2022 Annual Report and Accounts on 21 December 2022), the Company confirms that the vesting of the LTIP award will depend on the achievement of the following performance conditions:

 
 
                   Free Cash Flow           Relative TSR vs 
                   (FCF) in Final        FTSE Small Cap Index 
                  Year only (hence       (excluding investment 
                       FY2025)             trusts) over the 
                                        three year performance 
                                                period

  Period                                                           exercisable

The Company has considered carefully the level of target performance and the corresponding performance range for each measure to ensure that they are sufficiently stretching and promote long-term sustainable success.

The vested shares will be subject to a holding period of two years from the vesting date and subject to customary malus and clawback events. The value of any dividends accrued, in the form of dividend equivalents, will normally be paid in shares at the end of period (third anniversary) based on the number of vested shares and will also be subject to the holding period of two years from the vesting date.

No consideration was paid for the grant of the award. For the purposes of this award, the grant was made at a share price of 50.66p.
