RNS Number : 1998A Convatec Group PLC 13 April 2026
Convatec Group Plc
("Convatec" or "the Company")
Professor Constantin Coussios OBE steps down from
Board of Directors and AGM resolution change
London, UK, 13 April 2026 - Convatec congratulates Professor Constantin
Coussios OBE on his appointment as Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Innovation at the
University of Oxford. He will be stepping down as a Non-Executive Director of
Convatec Group Plc with effect from 30 April 2026 as he takes up his new
appointment.
Since his appointment in September 2020, Professor Coussios has worked closely
with the Board, senior management and Convatec's Chief Science, Innovation
& Quality Officer Dr Divakar Ramakrishnan to transform and re-shape
Convatec's research and development capabilities, accelerate new product
development, and position the Company for sustained, innovation-led growth.
Over the past six years, Convatec has completed several transformative
strategic acquisitions, its internal new product development cycle time has
been compressed by c.30%, and the vitality index has strengthened steadily
from c.10% to c.30%, with 16 new product launches underway since 2022.
Dr John McAdam CBE, Chair of the Board, said: "Over the past six years,
Constantin has been key to the successful delivery of Convatec's
innovation-led turnaround and we thank him for his unique contribution. We now
have the strongest pipeline of innovative new products in Convatec's history.
As Constantin takes up his exciting new role at the University of Oxford,
together with all Board colleagues, we wish him every continued success for
the future."
As the Company's AGM Notice has already been issued, the Company confirms that
the resolution to re-elect Professor Coussios as a Non-Executive Director of
the Company (resolution number 9) is now withdrawn. The withdrawal of
resolution number 9 does not otherwise affect the validity of the Notice of
Meeting, the proxy form or any proxy votes already submitted on other proposed
resolutions. The numbering of all other proposed resolutions at the AGM will
remain unchanged.
This announcement is made in accordance with Listing Rule 6.4.6.
