An announcement was made on 6 July 2023 that Mark Godson would join Just Group
plc ("Just, the "Group") as Group Chief Financial Officer with effect from 1
January 2024, subject to regulatory approval. Andy Parsons, the current Group
Chief Financial Officer would retire from the Board on 31 December 2023.

The Board is pleased to announce that Mark Godson has now received the
necessary regulatory approvals and will be appointed as executive director and
Group Chief Financial Officer on 1 December 2023.

Andy Parsons will continue as an executive director until he retires on 31
December 2023 to allow for a smooth transition.

David Richardson, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

 "We are delighted Mark has now started his role at Group Chief Financial
 Officer at Just. He is one of the top talents in the insurance market,
 bringing with him extensive commercial and financial insight gained from
 across the sector. We are delivering mid teen profit growth and our business
 has never been stronger. Mark has a growth mindset and is ideally placed to
 help us continue to deliver our profit pledge.  I am looking forward to
 working closely with him.

 On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Andy Parsons for his central role in
 building our financial strength which has allowed us to return to growth in
 recent years and face into the future with confidence.  He has also delivered
 a major programme of finance transformation including the implementation of
 IFRS 17."

 

Mark Godson commented:

 "I'm pleased to have joined the Board and the Executive team, to support the
 Group's growth strategy, creating value for our shareholders and delivering
 great outcomes for our customers.  Over recent years I have been impressed
 with the way Just, the UK's retirement specialist, has successfully
 transformed its business model.  I'm excited about the future prospects of
 the business and working alongside colleagues to fulfil our purpose to help
 people achieve a better later life."

Andy Parsons commented:

 "I'm very pleased that the business is in such great shape at the point that I
 leave to start my retirement. Just is a purpose led business with an absolute
 focus on its customers and I've really enjoyed my time here. It's great to be
 handing over the baton to a talented new CFO in Mark."

The announcement is made in accordance with Rule 9.6.11 of the Listing Rules.
