Notification of Transactions by Director/Person Discharging Managerial Responsibility

Dr. Martens plc (the 'Company') announces that it has been notified of the following transaction(s) in the Company's Ordinary 1p shares undertaken on behalf of a director and person discharging managerial responsibility ('PDMR').

On 15 October 2025, a tranche of restricted stock units ('RSUs') granted to Ije Nwokorie under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ('LTIP') prior to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer vested and sufficient shares were subsequently sold on his behalf to cover his consequent tax and national insurance liabilities.

This tranche constitutes a portion of the RSU award which was granted to Ije on 14 June 2024 in lieu of outstanding incentive awards he forfeited on leaving his previous employer (the Award). The Award was made pursuant to the buyout arrangements agreed to secure Ije's recruitment to his previous role as Chief Brand Officer, which he held from February 2024 until he became Chief Executive Officer in January 2025, and in line with the stipulations of the Company's Remuneration Policy that 'buyout awards' be granted on a like-for-like basis to the extent possible. Full details of awards made to Ije under the LTIP will be disclosed in the Directors' Remuneration Report within the FY26 Annual Report, scheduled to be published in June 2026.
