River Global PLC ("River Global" or the "Company")

NOTIFICATION OF RESTRICTED SHARE ISSUE AND INTERESTS OF PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES ("PDMR")

CONFIRMATION OF TOTAL CAPITAL IN ISSUE

The Board of River Global PLC is pleased to confirm that in December last year it awarded rights over up to 14,431,309 A Ordinary Shares of 0.5p each ("A Ordinary Shares") in the Company (which would represent approximately 8.24 per cent of the voting A Ordinary Share capital of the Company on issue) which it expects to satisfy mainly by issuing new shares as required at vesting. Vesting of shares under the Scheme is due between 1 April and 1 November 2028 and is subject to usual provisions for malus, clawback and for apportionment or forfeiture in respect of good and bad leavers prior to that date at the discretion of the Board's Remuneration Committee.

4,595,588 of such Shares have been awarded to Gary Marshall, the Group's Chief Finance and Operating Officer.  Formal notification in respect of the award to Mr Marshall, being a PDMR, is set out below in accordance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation.

The above percentages are based on updated shares in issue figures following the correction of an error in previous declarations announced by the Company on 13 August 2025 and 2 October 2025 where the number of shares held in treasury was understated by 2,420 A Ordinary Shares and 2,420 B Shares. Of a total of 165,962,970 A Ordinary Shares and 149,292,970 B Shares in issue, the Company holds 5,354,770 A Ordinary Shares and 5,354,770 B shares in treasury. As a result, the current voting shares in issue, and the figures which may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, are 160,608,200 A Ordinary Shares and 143,938,200 B Shares. These figures correct the error of 2,420 in the number of A Ordinary Shares and B Shares held in treasury.
