Rotork plc (the 'Company')

Notification of transactions

by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR")

 

The Company provides notification of the following transactions, effected on
24 March 2025, 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 2022 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 2022 LTIP Awards.

Save for the cash settled awards, the Shares sold were purchased by the
Company's Employee Benefit Trust at the price of 316.40p 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 317.20p per share, being the middle-market quotation price for
Rotork plc shares as derived from the London Stock Exchange on 24 March 2025.
