Directorate Change

 

26 February 2026

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 6.4.6, Man Group plc (the Company) announces
the following changes to its Board of Directors.

 

Retirement of Richard Berliand and change of Senior Independent Director

Further to the announcement dated 4 December 2025, Richard Berliand will step
down from the Board and as Senior Independent Director (SID) with effect from
28 February 2026.  Richard joined the Board in January 2016 and became SID in
May 2017.

 

Also further to the previous announcement, Laure Fitch will take over as SID
with effect from 1 March 2026.  Laurie joined the Board in August 2023 and is
Chair of the Remuneration Committee and a member of the Audit and Risk
Committee and Nomination and Governance Committee.

 

Other Board and Committee changes

Ceci Kurzman, who has now served on the Board for two three-year terms
following her appointment as a non-executive director in February 2020, has
indicated that she will not be standing for re-election at the Company's 2026
Annual General Meeting (AGM).  She will therefore step down from the Board
with effect from the conclusion of the AGM on 7 May 2026.

 

Paco Ybarra, who joined the Board in September 2024, will be appointed as a
member of the Remuneration Committee with effect from 1 May 2026.

 

Chair's comments

Anne Wade, Chair of the Board, said:

 

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our sincere thanks to Richard
for his outstanding contribution over the past 10 years. His guidance,
independent perspective, and dedication to the highest standards of governance
have been invaluable to the Company during a period of significant growth and
development. We wish him every success in his future endeavours.

 

We are delighted that Laurie has agreed to be our new SID.  Her background in
the industry and strong corporate governance experience means she is well
positioned to take over from Richard in this role.

 

I would also like to thank Ceci for her contribution to the Board over the
last six years, particularly her significant efforts in engaging with our
people and sharing their views with the Board.  We wish Ceci all the very
best for the future and look forward to welcoming Paco to the Remuneration
Committee."
