CONFIRMATION OF SUCCESSOR TO THE CHAIR

 

In accordance with our previously announced succession plans, Sarah Bates will

Catherine Cripps joined the Board of PCTT on 6 September 2021. She has
considerable experience of the investment management sector. Catherine is
currently a non-executive director of Goldman Sachs International and Goldman

Goldman Sachs International and Goldman Sachs International Bank Board Risk
Committees and is a member of the Audit Committees. She has previously been a
trustee and chair of the investment committee for the Nuclear Liabilities
Fund, and a non-executive director of CQS Management and of Merian Global
