NOTIFICATION AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EU MARKET ABUSE REGULATION OF TRANSACTIONS BY PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES ("PDMR") AND PERSONS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.

On 8 December 2022, the following award 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 GRANTED UNDER THE AWARD AGREEMENT DATED 29 APRIL 2022

As set out in the announcement published on 3 May 2022, a Performance Award over 127,461 shares was granted to Deepak Nath with an expected vest date of 9 November 2022. 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 Deepak Nath by SH on 9 November 2018.

In accordance with the terms of the award agreement, the expected vest date of 9 November 2022 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 23 November 2022. It has been determined that, following completion of the performance measurement period, 91.985% of the award vests. 117,245 shares were therefore available for vest with the remaining balance of shares, 10,216, lapsing with immediate effect.
