Board CHANGE

 

GRIO announces that Barry Gilbertson has given notice of his intention to step
down as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company and from the Board of
Directors.  Barry will leave the Company at the time of publication of the
2025 Annual Report which is currently expected during December 2025.

 

The Board has initiated an independent process to identify a new Chair and, in
that regard, has appointed headhunters to assist the Board.  A further
announcement will be made in due course.

 

Katherine Innes Ker, Non-Executive Director, commented: "On behalf of the
Board and Schroders as Manager, we wish to thank Barry for his strong
leadership and significant contribution as Chair.  Barry, together with the
current Board and Manager, were each appointed since 2019 to support the
Company in dealing with the complex headwinds associated with leasehold and
building safety reform, as well as dealing with legacy litigation and
subsequently implementing the ongoing managed wind down.  Under Barry's
leadership and his tireless commitment to managing these headwinds, we have
made good progress in important areas that have benefited both the Company and
our leaseholders.  The Board looks forward to continuing this work and
ultimately delivering the strategy in the best interests of all our
shareholders."
