LEGAL & GENERAL ANNOUNCES OUTCOME OF AUDIT TENDER

 

Legal & General Group Plc ("L&G") today announces that, following the
conclusion of the formal tender process for the role of statutory auditor, it
intends to appoint Deloitte LLP ("Deloitte") as its external auditor for the
financial year ending 31 December 2028 onwards. The appointment will be
subject to shareholder approval at L&G's 2028 Annual General Meeting.

 

The selection of Deloitte has been approved by the L&G Board and follows
an extensive competitive tender process, which was overseen by the Audit
Committee. The audit tender was conducted as a result of the requirement for
public interest entities to undertake an audit tender at least every ten
years.

 

KPMG LLP ("KPMG"), the Company's current auditor, will continue in its role as
external auditor for the financial years ending 31 December 2026 and 31
December 2027, the latter subject to shareholder approval. The Board would
like to thank KPMG for its significant and continuing contribution as the
Company's auditor.

 

Further details of the audit tender process and selection criteria will be
provided in the Company's 2026 Annual Report and Accounts.
