Hamilton, Bermuda (2 September 2024): Hiscox Ltd ("Hiscox" or the "Company")
today announces the appointment of Jane Guyett as an Independent Non Executive
Director and Chair of its Remuneration Committee, subject to regulatory

Jane is a highly experienced Non Executive Director, having held a range of
roles across both the public and private sectors. These include serving as
Senior Independent Director at UK Government Investments Limited and as Chair
of the Remuneration Committee at the Royal London Mutual Insurance Society.

In addition, Jane has over 25 years of extensive executive experience,
predominantly in the banking sector across EMEA and Asia. This includes 15
years at Bank of America Securities, latterly as Chief Operating Officer for
EMEA.

Colin Keogh, Hiscox Interim Chair, commented: "Jane has an impressive
combination of extensive global executive experience and a track record of
contributing to effective boards and committees in a variety of capacities.
These attributes will be valuable as the business continues its ambitious
growth trajectory."

Following last month's confirmation of Colin Keogh as the Company's Interim
