Director/PDMR Shareholding

24 September 2026 – The Board of Craneware (AIM: CRW.L), a leader in healthcare financial performance solutions, announces that on 22 September 2026, under the terms of the Craneware plc Long Term Incentive Plan (2022) (“LTIP”), conditional awards of ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company (“Shares”) which were granted to three Directors of the Company and to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer, who is also a person discharging managerial responsibility (‘PDMR’), vested to the extent that certain performance conditions were satisfied.

As noted below, Keith Neilson, CEO of the Company, received 34,113 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company (“Shares”). Mr. Neilson has chosen to retain the full quantity of Shares from the vesting of this conditional award rather than utilising the Company’s net settlement facility to settle the income tax and national insurance contributions. These represent a total cost to Mr. Neilson of over £196,000 to retain the full award.

Following the vesting of this conditional award and payment of the associated tax liabilities, Mr. Neilson’s shareholding in the Company has increased to 3,257,658 Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company, representing 9.48% of the Company’s issued share capital (excluding 1,162,996 Ordinary Shares held in treasury).

*excluding 1,162,996 Ordinary Shares held in treasury.

The net amount of Shares received by the CFO, CPO and the Chief Legal Officer, as shown in the table above, from the vested LTIP awards was after payment of the associated tax liabilities. No consideration was payable by each of these two Directors or by the other PDMR to receive the Shares from these LTIP awards.

The net number of Shares from these vested LTIP awards received by each of the three Directors and the other PDMR are subject to a two year post-vesting holding period.

Following this transaction, Craig Preston holds 111,542 Shares which is 0.324% of the issued share capital* of the Company, Isabel Urquhart holds 25,466 Shares which is 0.074% of the issued share capital* of the Company and Eric Carter holds 39,016 Shares which is 0.113% of the issued share capital* of the Company.

Total Voting Rights

Following the vesting of these conditional share awards and also the vesting of conditional share awards for certain other employees on 22 September 2026, the Company is transferring or has transferred a total of 142,025 Ordinary Shares previously held in treasury to satisfy the transactions. As a result, the Company’s issued share capital now consists of 35,542,169 Ordinary Shares, of which 1,162,996 remain held in treasury. Accordingly, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights is 34,379,173. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
