Board Changes

 

Record plc ("Record" or the "Company"), the specialist currency and asset
manager, announces that after 20 years at Record, and ten years as CFO, Steve
Cullen has notified the board of his intention to retire as Chief Financial
Officer in the summer of 2024.

 

The board is delighted to announce Richard Heading's simultaneous appointment
to the board in the role of executive director and CFO, the exact date for
which will be confirmed and announced in due course. Richard has extensive
experience working in senior finance positions within financial services, most
recently as Group Finance Director for IG Group PLC, the FTSE 250 listed
online trading provider. Richard brings extensive experience to the board in
such areas as Financial and Capital planning, Investor Relations, Treasury and
International operations.

 

Steve will remain available on an advisory basis supporting the handover and
transition of the CFO responsibilities in line with the Company's succession
strategy. Richard will also replace Steve on the board of Record Currency
Management Limited, the Group's UK regulated subsidiary, subject to receiving
regulatory approval.

 

David Morrison, Chairman, said, "Early last year Steve indicated his desire to
retire once we had identified a suitable successor. I would like to thank
Steve for his many years of service to Record and to wish him a very long,
healthy and happy retirement. The Company has been very fortunate to have had
the benefit of his commitment and good sense for so many years. I am delighted
to welcome Richard to the board and to the role of CFO. I have no doubt that
his extensive experience working for global, listed businesses will be
invaluable to both the board and to Jan, our CEO Elect, as the business
continues its transition towards a fully-fledged, international asset
manager."

 

Steve Cullen, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Having worked in finance
for over 35 years, the last 20 of which have been spent at Record, now feels
the right time for me personally to step down. I am grateful for the
opportunities received at Record including working with such a professional
and respected team of colleagues over that time, and I now look forward to the
next chapter, including spending more time with family and friends. I have no
doubt that the business will continue to be successful and will deliver on its
plans for growth and diversification, and I intend to remain a shareholder and
will follow its progress with interest."

Richard Heading commented, "I am delighted to be joining the team at Record.
It is a company with a fantastic reputation and track record, now embarked on
a new phase of strategic growth which I am very excited to be part of."

This announcement is made pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.11R.

The Company confirms that no further disclosure is required under LR 9.6.13R
in respect of the appointment of Richard Heading as an executive director of
the Company.
