29-Jul-2026 / 08:00 GMT/BST

MOLTEN VENTURES PLC

(“Molten Ventures”, the “Company” or the “Group”)

Notification of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities (“PDMRs”)

Molten Ventures plc (LSE: GROW) announces that on 27 July 2026 Stuart Chapman, an Executive Director of the Company, exercised in aggregate 304,576 options over ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company that had vested under the Company’s 2016 Company Share Option Plan (the “CSOP”), 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) and 2021 Deferred Bonus Plan (the “DBP”).

On exercise, 268,245 ordinary shares were sold in the market through the Company’s Employee Benefit Trust (the “EBT”) at an average price of £6.162674 per share to fund the aggregate exercise price and the associated income tax and employee’s National Insurance contributions. The balance of 36,331 vested awards was settled in cash by the Company rather than in shares, at a cash amount equivalent to the market value per share.

Following these transactions, Stuart Chapman’s beneficial shareholding in the Company remains 1,054,756 ordinary shares, representing approximately 0.61% of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital.
