The filing states the transaction took place at Optiver V.O.F., identified in the notice as the place of the transaction, and describes the instrument as an ordinary share with the identification code GB00B1WY2338. It records the notification as an initial notification rather than an amendment.

The FCA's National Storage Mechanism shows two earlier PDMR shareholding notices for Smiths Group plc, dated 9 October 2026 and 1 October 2026. The records provided do not give further detail on the content of those earlier notices.
