HELICAL PLC

("Helical" or the "Group")

Changes to Board and Committee Composition

 

Helical plc, the London based developer of best-in-class, sustainable
buildings, is pleased to announce two new independent Non-Executive Director
appointments: Robert Fowlds, who joins the Board with immediate effect and
 Amanda Aldridge, who will be joining the Board from 1 April 2024.

 

Robert has over 40 years' experience in real estate and is a chartered
surveyor. He was head of real estate investment banking at J.P. Morgan
Cazenove until 2015 and, prior to joining J.P. Morgan Cazenove in 2006, an
equity analyst at Merrill Lynch.

 

Robert is a member of the Supervisory Board of Klepierre S.A., and serves as a
Non-Executive Director of FTSE 250 property company, LondonMetric Property
Plc. Between 2018 and 2021, he was a Non-Executive Director of UK Commercial
Property REIT Limited.

 

Amanda has extensive audit, governance and capital markets experience having
worked at KPMG LLP ('KPMG') for 33 years until 2017, including 20 years as a
partner.  During her time at KMPG, Amanda held numerous positions including
Head of the Retail Sector practice before becoming Head of Contract Governance
in the Risk-Consulting Division.

 

Amanda is a non-executive director and Audit Committee Chair of Impact
Healthcare REIT plc, The Brunner Investment Trust Plc, Staffline Group plc and
The Low Carbon Contracts Company Limited. Amanda is a Fellow of the Institute
of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

 

Subject to Amanda's re-election at the 2024 AGM, it is intended that she will
succeed Joe Lister to become Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee
("Committee") following the conclusion of the AGM. Joe, after six years on the
Board, has decided not to seek re-election at the next AGM, following his
appointment as Chief Executive of Unite Group plc in January this year. He
will continue to serve as Chair of the Committee until the 2024 AGM.

 

Richard Cotton, Independent non-executive Chairman of the Board,  commented:

 

"On behalf of the Helical Board, I would like to express my gratitude to Joe
for his guidance and insight and wish him the very best for the future. I am,
however, very pleased to welcome Robert and Amanda to the Board. They both
have a wide range of relevant experience, which will be highly beneficial to
Helical going forward."

 

Following these proposed changes to the Board's composition, the Helical Board
will consist of five independent Non-Executive Directors, including the
Chairman, and three Executive Directors.

 

This announcement is made pursuant to LR 9.6.11R of the Listing
Rules.
