RNS Number : 1080T Conduit Holdings Limited 16 February 2026
Pembroke, Bermuda - 16 February 2026
Conduit Holdings Limited
("Conduit Holdings"; LSE ticker: CRE)
Directorate Changes
Conduit Holdings, the ultimate parent company of Conduit Re, a multi-line
Bermuda-based reinsurance business, is pleased to announce the appointment of
Nicholas Shott as Chair of the Board with effect from 13 February 2026. He has
also been appointed Chair of the Nomination Committee, succeeding Ken Randall.
Nicholas was appointed to the Conduit Holdings Board in November 2025 and has
served on the Nomination and Remuneration Committees.
In line with these changes, Rebecca Shelley will resume her role as Senior
Independent Director, also succeeding Ken Randall in that capacity. She will
continue to serve as Chair of the Remuneration Committee.
Commenting on the appointment, Neil Eckert, Chief Executive Officer, said: "On
behalf of the Board, I would like to congratulate Nicholas on his appointment
as Chair. I look forward to working with him as Conduit moves into the next
phase of its development. I would also like to express our sincere thanks to
Rebecca for serving as Interim Chair during our search process. Her leadership
ensured stability and continuity at a pivotal time for the business. The Board
is equally grateful to Ken Randall for his significant contribution as Chair
of the Nomination Committee since Conduit's IPO in 2020, and for stepping into
the Senior Independent Director role while Rebecca undertook her interim
responsibilities."
Nicholas Shott added: "I am delighted to have been appointed as Chair of the
Board. I intend to bring a relentless focus to supporting the Executive team
in maximising value for Conduit's shareholders."
Further Board Succession Updates
Elizabeth Murphy will step down and retire from the Board prior to the 2026
AGM in May. Her retirement reflects normal Board‑succession planning, as she
enters her sixth year of service. The recruitment process for her successor
has been underway for some time and is nearing conclusion.
