("ConvaTec" or "the Company")

Director/PDMR Shareholding

The Company announces the following change in the interests of Directors in ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the share capital of the Company ("Shares").

2021 Awards under deferred bonus plan

On 10 March 2021, Karim Bitar, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Frank Schulkes, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, both Executive Directors, received a grant of shares in accordance with the Company's remuneration policy, as a result of one third of their annual bonus being paid out as deferred shares; such shares to vest on the third anniversary of grant, subject to continued employment without performance conditions as follows:

   Karim Bitar:                   301,460 
   Frank Schulkes:            114,001 

The average of the middle market quotations of a ConvaTec share, derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the three consecutive business days from 5 March to 9 March 2021 (inclusive) of 190.60 pence was used in determining the number of shares to be granted under the deferred bonus provisions. No consideration was paid for the grant of these awards.

2021 Awards under Long Term Incentive Plan

On the same day, Karim Bitar and Frank Schulkes were also granted conditional share awards under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan, subject to performance conditions based on a combination of relative total shareholder return and adjusted profit before tax growth, over the three-year period weighted 25% and 75% respectively and subject to continued employment.

Total shareholder return will be measured relative to the FTSE 350 excluding investment trusts. Relative TSR will be measured over the performance period of three years (commencing 1 January 2021) calculated in GBP and using three-month averaging. Adjusted PBT growth will be measured as the three year compound annualised growth rate over the same performance period (i.e. three years from 1 January 2021). The full details of the performance condition targets will be detailed in the Directors' Remuneration Report contained in ConvaTec's Annual Report and Accounts 2020.

No consideration was paid for the grant of the following awards:

   Karim Bitar:                   1,147,691 
   Frank Schulkes:             593,759 

Vesting of 2018 Award under deferred bonus plan

Further, on 8 March 2021, Frank Schulkes received 7,761 Shares following the vesting of the conditional share award granted on 7 March 2018, as a result of one third of Mr Schulkes' annual bonus being paid out as deferred shares, subject to a three year vesting period. On 8 March 2021, Mr Schulkes sold 3,658 Shares at GBP1.902 to cover the income tax liabilities relating to the vesting of the share award, leaving a retained balance of 4,103 Shares.
