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 and release of share awards granted under The Sage 2016 Deferred Share Bonus Plan ("DSBP"), The Sage Group plc 2019 Restricted Share Plan ("RSP") and The Sage Group plc 2015 Performance Share Plan ("PSP") (the "Awards") on 2 December 2024, the undernoted PDMRs became beneficially entitled to the number of ordinary shares of 14/77 pence each in Sage ("Shares") noted below.

On 4 December 2024, 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 liabilities 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 2 December 2019 under the PSP, the undernoted Awards vested on 2 December 2022. The Shares subject to the Awards were subject to a two-year holding period from vesting until 2 December 2024, when they became eligible for release. On 2 December 2024, the Awards were released and the relevant PDMRs became entitled to the Shares.

Sage was notified on 4 December 2024 that the Executive Directors sold a number of Shares in respect of which they had become entitled, to cover the tax liabilities arising on the release of the Shares.
