2. SUPPLEMENTARY AWARDS GRANTED UNDER THE SMITH & NEPHEW GLOBAL SHARE PLAN 2020 FOR THE 2018 PERFORMANCE SHARE PROGRAMME AWARDS:

The Performance Share Programme is designed to incentivise senior management for performance delivered over a three-year period. T he impact of COVID-19 in 2020 has had, and will have, a significant impact on the Performance Share Programme's ability to recognise performance delivered in preceding and consequent years. Reflecting these considerations, the following awards of US$0.20 ordinary shares (the "Shares") in Smith & Nephew plc (the "Company") were granted under the Smith & Nephew Global Share Plan 2020 ("Supplementary Awards") on 8 March 2021 to the PDMRs listed below. No Supplementary Award has been granted to either the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer. Each Supplementary Award is linked to a Performance Share Programme award granted in 2018, 2019 and 2020 so that a minimum vesting of between 50% and 70% of the original award at target will be achieved. If the 2019 or, as relevant, 2020 Performance Share Programme award vests at 70% of target or more, the whole of the Supplementary Award lapses. The Supplementary Award represents 25% to 35% of the maximum award available to participants.

i. SUPPLEMENTARY AWARDS GRANTED UNDER THE SMITH & NEPHEW GLOBAL SHARE PLAN 2020 FOR THE 2018 PERFORMANCE SHARE PROGRAMME AWARDS:

As announced on 3 February 2021, 47% of the target 2018 Performance Share Programme award vested. Therefore a conditional share award equivalent to 23% of the original 2018 Performance Share Programme award has been granted to the PDMRs listed below and will vest 100% on 16 March 2021. No price is payable either upon grant or vesting of the awards.
