Appointment of Non-Executive Director and Chair Designate

 

Flutter Entertainment plc (the "Company") is pleased to announce that,
following a comprehensive selection process, John Bryant has been appointed to
the Board as Non-Executive Director and Chair Designate. His appointment will
take effect following the Company's annual general meeting today and he will
assume the role of Chair from 1 September 2023. This appointment aligns with
the Company's Board succession plan as well as good governance practice, with
outgoing Chair Gary McGann stepping down on reaching his nine-year tenure as
Non-Executive Director.

John is currently a non-executive director of Ball Corporation, Compass Group
PLC and Coca-Cola European Partners plc. John was previously Executive
Chairman, and before that Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
and Chief Operating Officer of Kellogg Company. He is also a non-executive
director of Macy's Inc. with his tenure ending on 19 May 2023.

 

As well as his role as Non-Executive Director and Chair Designate, John will
be appointed to the Nomination and Renumeration Committees of the Board, and
he will become Chair of the Nomination Committee on 1 September 2023.

 

Gary McGann, Chair, commented:

 

"We are delighted to announce John's appointment as Chair. John has had a
stellar career in Kellogg Company, one of the most internationally renowned
companies in the world. He brings with him an enormous wealth of leadership
experience in strategic, financial, and operational matters.

 

It has been a privilege to serve as Chair of this very special Company and I
wish John every success as he joins the Board at this pivotal point in
Flutter's evolution. I will use my remaining period as Chair to ensure a
seamless transition to John."

 

John Bryant, Chair Designate, commented:

"I am very excited to succeed Gary as Chair of Flutter. I look forward to
working with Peter and the management team to grow the business and to take
advantage of the many exciting opportunities that lie ahead."

 

Peter Jackson, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"I would like to thank Gary for the contribution he has made to Flutter over
his nine years as Non-Executive Director, eight of which were as Chair. He has
helped steer the business through an exceptional period of growth. I am very
much looking forward to working with John. His experience will be invaluable
as Flutter continues to execute its growth strategy."
