Future retirement of Portfolio Manager

 

After 26 years at Baillie Gifford, Spencer Adair, a manager of Monks, will
retire on 31 March 2026.

The portfolio will continue to be managed by the Global Alpha team at Baillie
Gifford. This will comprise current managers Malcolm MacColl and Helen Xiong,
who will be joined as co-managers by Michael Taylor from 1 April 2026.

Mr MacColl is a Managing Partner of Baillie Gifford and has managed Monks
alongside Spencer since the Global Alpha team took over its management in
March 2015. Ms Xiong, a partner of Baillie Gifford, has been a member of the
Global Alpha team since 2020. Mr Taylor, a recently appointed partner of
Baillie Gifford, began his investment career with Baillie Gifford in 2009.
Following seven years at Marathon Asset Management, he returned in 2022 and
has worked closely with the team since joining formally as a decision maker in
April this year.

Spencer will remain in his current role until his retirement, continuing to
work closely with Malcolm, Helen and Michael to ensure a smooth transition and
handover of responsibilities. There will be no change to the Company's
investment objective or strategy.
