Directorate change

Beazley plc announces that the Board has appointed Paul Bantick an executive
director with effect from 1 January 2026.

As Group Chief Underwriting Officer, Paul Bantick leads strategic oversight of
Beazley's extensive specialist underwriting portfolio, ensuring alignment
between growth strategy and technical excellence. He oversees a broad spectrum
of insurance classes, including Property, Specialty including Directors &
Officers (D&O), and the highly specialised classes - cyber, marine,
aviation, and political risks.

Paul built his reputation over two decades as a pioneering leader in cyber
insurance, where he was instrumental in the ongoing development and maturation
of the market, notably through the creation of the first cyber catastrophe
bond and the establishment of Full Spectrum Cyber and Beazley Security.

His leadership has been defined by a commitment to managing systemic risk,
leveraging data-driven insights, and creating innovative, client-centric
solutions. This strategic vision underpins Beazley's position as a global
leader in specialist risk. Latterly he was Beazley's Group Head of Cyber Risks
and was appointed to Beazley's Global Executive Committee in 2022.

Beazley's Chair Clive Bannister said: "My Board colleagues and I are delighted
to welcome Paul onto the Board of Beazley plc.  Paul's entrepreneurial
spirit, deep underwriting experience and knowledge of the global insurance
industry will complement and further strengthen the Board, to help us fulfil
our strategic ambitions."

Beazley's CEO Adrian Cox said: "Paul Bantick has demonstrated leadership in
underwriting, risk management, and strategic growth. His appointment to the
Board will strengthen the Board's technical depth and reinforce underwriting
as a core driver of Beazley's success."

Beazley plc has been notified that there are no further details to be
disclosed pursuant to Rule 9.6.13 of the Listing Rules in respect of Paul
Bantick.
