M&G plc
Notification of transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMRs)
M&G plc (the 'Company') announces changes to the interests in the Company for certain PDMRs following the payment of an interim dividend of 6.7 pence per share on 17 October 2025.
On 17 October 2025 certain PDMRs accrued divided equivalent shares in the Company on deferred incentive and long term incentive share plans held by them on the dividend record date. These dividend equivalent shares are subject to the same terms (including the vesting date, and where applicable, performance conditions and holding period) as the original award on which they accrued.
Christopher Cochrane, Charlotte Heiss, Matthew Howells and Benoît Macé also acquired, on 17 October 2025, dividend shares under the M&G UK Share Incentive Plan (SIP) following the automatic reinvestment of the interim dividend payment paid in respect of SIP shares held on the dividend record date.
In addition, the Company was informed on 21 October 2025 of changes in the interests of Louise Shield following the reinvestment of the interim dividend on personal shareholdings.
The notification below, which has been made in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation, provides further detail.
