13 March 2026

Kainos Group plc

("Kainos" or the "Company")

 

Notification of Transactions of Director/PDMR

 

The Company has been notified that in connection with a personal financial
commitment forming part of divorce proceedings, Richard McCann has made an
off-market transfer of 1,521,822 Kainos Group plc ordinary shares to his
spouse Kerry McCann who is currently classified as a Person Closely Associated
("PCA"). Kerry McCann will remain a PCA until the marriage is legally
dissolved, at which point the Company will no longer be required to aggregate
her shareholding with that of Richard McCann in its disclosures.

 

Following this transfer Richard McCann and his PCA have a reportable
shareholding of 4,631, 476* ordinary shares, representing 3.92% of the
Company's issued share capital.

 

* Note: This total includes 544 shares resulting from an exercise of options
under the Company's 2022 SAYE scheme on 11 December 2025. The exercise was
identified during a routine internal reconciliation; the delay in notification
was due to an administrative oversight regarding the classification of the
exercise. The PDMR has confirmed that they were not in possession of inside
information at the time of the transaction and continues to hold the resulting
shares.
