Non-Executive Director Changes

 

As indicated in the annual report released on 21 November 2023, after 8 years
as a Non-Executive Director, Chloe Ponsonby planned to step down from the
Board during 2024 due to an increase in her executive responsibilities.

 

Chloe Ponsonby will now stand down from the Board on 31 March 2024. Victor
Chavez will replace Chloe as Chair of the Remuneration Committee and Bindi
Foyle will replace Chloe as Senior Independent Director alongside her role as
Audit Committee Chair.

 

Bruce Thompson, Chair, commented:

 

"We are delighted to welcome Maggie to the Board. She brings extensive and
valuable experience in identifying value creation opportunities, with a deep
focus on the numbers and a real specialisation on analysis and the development
of change programmes.

 

This appointment significantly strengthens the Board's experience of
implementing and valuing operational and strategic change at a time when these
are important elements of the new strategy being taken forward by the
leadership team.

 

I wish to extend my sincere thanks to Chloe Ponsonby for her contribution to
the Board since her appointment back in March 2016 and for her successful
stewardship of remuneration matters. On behalf of the Board, I wish Chloe
every success in her new executive role."
