Notification of transactions
by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ('PDMR')
The Company provides notification of the following transactions, effected on 24 March 2026, outside of a market venue, relating to the below named PDMRs and their respective interests (or notional interests) in the ordinary share capital of the Company ('Shares').
The transactions arise from the audited vesting of awards of nil cost options, conditional share awards or cash settled awards over Shares granted to the respective PDMRs shown below in 2023 under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ('LTIP') and, where relevant, the subsequent exercise, acquisition, sale and transfer by the named PDMRs. This includes transfer to Persons Closely Associated ('PCA'). Dividend equivalents (or notional dividend equivalents, for cash settled awards) have also been applied to the 2023 LTIP Awards.
Save for the cash settled awards, the Shares sold were purchased by the Company's Employee Benefit Trust at the price of 308.00p per Share, being the middle-market quotation price for Rotork plc Shares as derived from the London Stock Exchange on the last trading day preceding the date of vesting. As per the Company's LTIP Rules, the value of the cash settled awards was calculated at the price of 308.80p per Share, being the middle-market quotation price for Rotork plc Shares as derived from the London Stock Exchange on 24 March 2026.
