LONDON, United Kingdom, 28 October, 2026 / RNS / Meridian Mining plc (LSE: MNO) (TSX: MNO) (FSE: N2E0) (Tradegate: N2E0) (OTCQX: MRRDF) (“Meridian” or the “Company”) announces that, on 23 October 2026 it received notification from Ms Susanne Sesselmann, Non-Executive Director of the Company, and on 26 October 2026 it received notification from Mr Gilbert Clark, Chief Executive Officer, both persons discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR"), that they have exercised certain options over ordinary shares of €0.01 each in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") granted to them under the Meridian Mining Omnibus Incentive Plan at an exercise price of CAD1.10 per Share (the "Options").

The Options were exercised on a cashless basis for both PDMRs. On 23 October 2026 the Company issued 136,634 new Shares to Ms Sesselmann on exercise of her 300,000 Options. On 28 October 2026, 39,015 of those Shares were sold on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange at an average price of 101.002 pence per Share to satisfy tax liabilities resulting from the exercise. Ms Sesselmann retains the balance of 97,619 Shares.

Following the exercise of the Options and subsequent sale of Shares, Ms Sesselmann’s total holding of Shares in the Company is 234,619.

Mr Clark exercised his 300,000 Options on 26 October 2026. On 27 October 2026 the Company issued 122,581 new Shares to Mr Clark, which he retains in full. Mr Clark’s total holding of Shares in the Company following the exercise of his Options is 4,565,313.
