Directorate change

 

NatWest Group plc ('NWG') announces that Stuart Lewis will be appointed as an
independent non-executive director and member of the Group Board Risk
Committee on 1 April 2023.  Subject to regulatory approval, Stuart Lewis will
be appointed as Chairman of the Group Board Risk Committee ('BRC') on 1 August
2023.

 

Morten Friis has confirmed his intention to step down as a non-executive
director with effect from the close of business on 31 July 2023.  Morten will
reach the 9 year point in his tenure on 1 April 2023, but has agreed to remain
on the Board for an additional  period to allow for an orderly handover of
responsibilities to Stuart Lewis.

Howard Davies, Chairman of NWG, said:

"I would like to thank Morten for his commitment, diligence and immense
contribution since joining as a non-executive director in 2014.  He has
approached the role of BRC Chair with great skill and care and we have
benefitted significantly from his expertise and wise counsel. My Board
colleagues and I wish him well for the future.

I am delighted that Stuart is joining the Board as a non-executive director in
April, in advance of taking on the BRC Chair role, subject to regulatory
approval.   Stuart will bring extensive risk management and financial
services experience to the Board, having spent the majority of his executive
career with Deutsche Bank, most recently as Group Chief Risk Officer and a
member of the management board of Deutsche Bank AG."

There are no further matters requiring disclosure under Listing Rule 9.6.13.
