Phoenix Group Holdings plc - Board Changes

 

The Board of Phoenix Group Holdings plc ("Phoenix Group" or "the Group") is
pleased to announce the appointment of Katie Murray as Chair of the Board
Audit Committee, with effect from 1 September 2022, subject to regulatory
approval.

 

Ms Murray joined the Board as an independent Non-Executive Director on 1 April
2022, bringing strong finance and accounting skills and knowledge to the
Group, in addition to a breadth of experience gained from senior executive
roles in the banking and insurance sectors.

 

Ms Murray will replace Alastair Barbour as Chair of the Board Audit Committee
upon his appointment as interim Chairman from 1 September (as announced in
February this year).

 

Commenting on Ms Murray's additional appointment, Nicholas Lyons, Phoenix
Group Chairman, said: "I am very pleased that Katie will be assuming the role
of Board Audit Committee Chair in September. As the Group Chief Financial
Officer of the NatWest Group, and having held senior executive financial
roles, Katie will bring great insight to the work of the committee having
operated alongside a number of Audit Chairs during her career. This is a key
role within the Group and I have no doubt that Katie will provide great
leadership for the committee."

 

In addition, the Group Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Maggie
Semple as the Group's Designated Non-Executive Director for Workforce
Engagement, with effect from 1 July 2022.

 

Ms Semple joined the Board as an independent Non-Executive Director on 1 June
2022, adding a breadth of knowledge to the Group through experience as a
Non-Executive Director in a number of different organisations, such as Her
Majesty's Court Service, the Criminal Cases Review Commission, the Ministry of
Justice (Chair of Audit, Risk & Compliance) and McDonald's Restaurants.
She has a passion for sustainability, ethics and inclusivity.

 

Ms Semple will replace Karen Green as the Group's Designated Non-Executive
Director for Workforce Engagement following Ms Green's appointment as the
Board Senior Independent Director on 5 May 2022, subject to regulatory
approval.

 

Nicholas Lyons, Phoenix Group Chairman, commenting on Ms Semple's appointment
said: "The role of the Group's Designated Non-Executive Director for Workforce
Engagement provides a critical link between the Board and our Phoenix
colleagues, ensuring we stay connected throughout the year. I am pleased that
Maggie will be taking on this important position and trust that she will be a
beacon of engagement for colleagues. I would like to thank Karen for her
service as our Designated Non-Executive Director for Workforce Engagement to
date."
