On 12 February 2026 (the "Grant Date") Victrex awarded 13,035 free shares in
the Company (the "Deferred Bonus Buyout Shares") to Dr. James Routh, Chief
Executive Officer, as agreed as part of his recruitment package.

The Deferred Bonus Buyout Shares were awarded to compensate Dr. Routh in

The Deferred Bonus Buyout Shares are subject to a holding period ending on 17
November 2028, during which they may not normally be sold (other than to fund
the tax charge arising on acquisition).

The number of Deferred Bonus Buyout Shares was based on the closing share
price of Victrex and AB Dynamics plc on 31 December 2025, being the latest
dealing date prior to Dr. Routh commencing employment with Victrex on 1
January 2026.

the Company.
