Notification of Transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") and Persons Closely Associated with them

This notification relates to transactions notified in accordance with Article 19 of the UK Market Abuse Regulation. Upon the vesting of The Sage 2016 Deferred Share Bonus Plan ("DSBP 2016"), The Sage Group plc 2019 Restricted Share Plan ("RSP 2019") awards on 2 December 2023 and The Sage Group plc 2015 Performance Share Plan ("PSP 2015") on 4 December 2023, the undernoted PDMRs became beneficially entitled to the number of ordinary shares of 14/77 pence each in Sage ("Shares") noted below.

On 5 December 2023, Sage was notified that each PDMR sold a number of the Shares in respect of which they had become beneficially entitled at the price noted below, to cover tax obligations arising from the vesting. The resultant total shareholding of the PDMRs is also included.

In accordance with the terms and performance conditions of the awards granted to the Executive Directors on 28 February 2019 under the PSP 2015, the undernoted Shares vested on 4 December 2021. The Shares were subject to a two-year holding period from vesting until 4 December 2023, when they became eligible for release. On 4 December 2023, the awards were settled in Shares. Sage was notified that on 5 December 2023, the Executive Directors sold a number of Shares in respect of which they had become entitled, to cover the tax obligations arising from the release and settlement of the award in Shares.
