Pantheon International Plc

("PIP" or the "Company")

Proposed appointment of next Chairman

The Board of PIP announces that its Chairman, Sir Laurie Magnus CBE, will be
retiring as a Director of the Company following the conclusion of the Annual
General Meeting scheduled for October 2022. Sir Laurie has been a Director of
PIP since 22 November 2011 and was appointed Chairman with effect from 23
November 2016.

Following a selection process led by Mary Ann Sieghart, the Senior Independent
Director of PIP, the Board proposes to appoint John Singer, a Director of PIP
since 26 November 2016, to succeed Sir Laurie as Chairman with effect from the
conclusion of the Annual General Meeting in October 2022.

John Singer is an investment and financial services professional with over 30
years' experience in private equity. He spent over 20 years with Advent
International plc as co-founder of the Global Executive Committee and, until
2012, as Chairman of European operations. He was Managing Director and founder
of Granville Europe plc, one of the first pan-European private equity funds.
In addition, he was Chairman of the European Venture Capital Association. He
is involved with several organisations in the arts and education sectors.

Mary Ann Sieghart, Senior Independent Director of PIP, said: "The Directors
are delighted to recommend the appointment of John Singer to replace Sir
Laurie Magnus as our new Chair following PIP's AGM in October. John has
decades of private equity experience at the highest levels and his
contributions to board deliberations are always thoughtful and well-informed,
making him a strong and well qualified candidate to be recommended as Chair.
We are very grateful to Sir Laurie for his enthusiastic and committed
leadership, which he will continue to exercise until the succession takes
place later this year."

John Singer, Director and Prospective Chairman of PIP, said: "Having witnessed
best practice in the private equity sector for over 30 years, I share my
colleagues' keenness to see more investors, particularly individuals,
benefiting from the combination of the potential to receive consistent
above-average market returns over the long term, and liquidity which PIP's
institutional and retail shareholders have already been enjoying for several
decades.

 

And so I am thrilled at the prospect of working even more closely with such a
competent, conscientious and caring Board and executive team at Pantheon to
carry out our strategic mission for all of our investors."
