13 April 2026

Oxford Nanopore Technologies plc (the "Company")

Grant of LTIP and DBP awards; Director/PDMR Notification

Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging
managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them

The Company announces the following transactions in connection with certain of
its employee share plans.

Long Term Incentive Plan 2021 ("LTIP")

On 10 April 2026, the Company made conditional awards over ordinary shares of
£0.0001 each ("Shares") under the Company's LTIP to those Persons Discharging
Managerial Responsibilities (each a "PDMR") outlined below.

 Name                          Number of Shares subject to award granted under LTIP
 Francis Van Parys (Director)  1,198,390
 Nicholas Keher (Director)     839,748

 

The awards are subject to the achievement of performance conditions over a
three-year period and a subsequent two-year holding period.  The shares will
accrue a dividend equivalent between the award date and the end of the holding
period.

The number of Shares over which the awards were granted was calculated based
on a price of £1.1432 per Share. This is the average closing middle-market
share price, as derived from the Daily Official List of the London Stock
Exchange, for the five business days preceding the award date.

Deferred Bonus Plan 2021 ("DBP")

On 10 April 2026, the Company made conditional awards over Shares under the
Company's DBP to the PDMRs as outlined below:

 Name                       Number of Shares subject to award granted under DBP
 Nicholas Keher (Director)  131,901

 

The awards relate to the deferral into shares of 33.3% of the bonuses paid to
the PDMRs in relation to the financial year ending 31 December 2025.  Under
the Company's directors' remuneration policy, at least 33.3% of the annual
bonus payable to the directors are settled in deferred share awards, with 50%
of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the award date and the
remaining 50% vesting on the second anniversary of the award date.  The
shares will accrue a dividend equivalent between the award date and the
relevant vesting date.

The number of Shares over which the awards were granted was calculated based
on a price of  £1.1432 per Share.  This is the average closing
middle-market share price, as derived from the Daily Official List of the
London Stock Exchange, for the five business days preceding the award
date.
