SIR IAN CHESHIRE TO STEP DOWN FROM BT GROUP BOARD

 

 

BT Group plc ("BT Group") today announced that given his increase in
non-executive responsibilities as Chair of Land Securities Group plc, Sir Ian
Cheshire has decided to step down from the Board as a non-executive director
at the conclusion of the 2023 Annual General Meeting ("AGM"). He will
therefore not be put forward for re-election at the AGM in July, having served
on the Board since March 2020.

Adam Crozier, BT Group's Chairman, said "On behalf of the Board, I would like
to thank Ian for his contribution during his time at BT Group.  He has been a
distinguished member of the Board and its Audit and Risk and Nominations
Committees, and as Chair of our Remuneration Committee".

In line with ongoing succession planning of the Board, we are currently
undertaking a search for additional non-executive directors with the support
of an external search consultant.
