M&G plc

Notification of transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ('PDMRs')

Awards under the M&G Deferred Incentive Plan 2019 ('DIP')

On 31 March 2023, the Company granted deferred bonus short-term incentive ('STI') awards to the PDMRs set out below, under the DIP. The DIP awards granted represent a deferred proportion of the PDMRs' annual STI, granted as conditional awards over shares which are due to vest in April 2026. The DIP awards have been made using the average market share price for the three days preceding the award date, of £1.853.

In addition, certain conditional awards have been granted under the DIP to Ms. Shield in respect to awards forfeited from her previous employer. Specific vesting and holding periods apply in order to align to the terms of the awards forfeited. These DIP awards have been made using the average market share price for the three days preceding Ms. Shield's hire date of £1.986.

Awards under the M&G Performance Share Plan 2019 (the 'PSP')

On 31 March 2023, the Company granted nil-cost option PSP awards to the PDMRs set out below, under the PSP.

The PSP awards granted are subject to the achievement of performance conditions over a three-year period (with the exception of awards made to Mr. Grewal and Ms. Shield to which performance conditions do not apply). A subsequent two year holding period applies to the PSP awards with the exception of the award made to Ms. Shield. These PSP awards have been made using the average market share price for the three days preceding the award date, of £1.853.

In addition, certain nil-cost option awards have been granted to Ms. Shield in respect to awards forfeited from her previous employer. Specific vesting and holding periods, and where applicable performance conditions, apply in order to align to the terms of the awards forfeited. These PSP awards have been made using the average market share price for the three days preceding Ms. Shield's hire date, of £1.986.
