De La Rue plc (the "Company") announces that on 10 July 2023 awards made under the De La Rue Deferred Bonus Plan (the "DBP") to Clive Vacher, Rob Harding and Ruth Euling (each of whom is an Executive Director and a Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR") of the Company) vested and were released.
In line with the rules of the DBP, the Company withheld a proportion of each award and sold sufficient Shares to fund income tax and national insurance withholdings and the associated dealing costs. These Shares were sold in the market on 10 July 2023 at a weighted average price of 49.15 pence per Share.

The second half of the DBP awards made on 6 July 2022 will vest on 8 July 2024, subject to the rules of the DBP.
The vesting of these awards and the sale of shares to fund withholdings creates a change in the interests of each of them in the ordinary shares of 44152/175p of the Company ("Shares"):
