DIRECTORATE CHANGES

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc (Company) is pleased to announce that it will appoint
Birgit Behrendt as a Non-Executive Director with effect from the conclusion of
the AGM on 11 May 2023. On joining the Board, Birgit will be appointed to the
Nominations & Governance Committee and the Safety, Ethics &
Sustainability Committee.

Birgit, a German national, brings extensive global operational experience in
large, complex international industrial groups having spent much of her
executive career at Ford Motor Company, latterly as Vice President Global
Purchasing. She has experience in leading large projects and oversaw Ford's
European joint ventures and alliances with operations in Europe and Asia. Her
non-executive appointments have focused on industrial groups beyond the
automotive industry, all with a focus on sustainability and transformation.
She is currently a non-executive director of Umicore SA, Thyssenkrupp AG and
KION Group AG.

Dame Anita Frew said: "I am delighted to welcome Birgit to our Board. She
combines deep experience across global procurement and supply chain management
with extensive experience leading large, complex projects across many
geographies.  She is a passionate advocate for sustainability and
transformation and also has a strong track record and ongoing interest in
developing, mentoring and coaching key talent and encouraging women in
particular to consider a career in STEM."

Birgit Behrendt added: "I am delighted to be joining the Rolls-Royce Board. I
am looking forward to joining and contributing to the sustainability journey
at a time of significant change and opportunity."

In accordance with the Listing Rules, in respect of Birgit Behrendt, there are
no additional matters that would require disclosure under 9.6.13R of the
Listing Rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority in respect of her
appointment.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.14(2), the Company reports that Mike
Manley, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, who is based in the US, has
indicated his intention to step down from the Board of Rolls-Royce in order to
focus on his US business interests and will not be standing for re-election at
this year's Annual General Meeting on 11 May. Mike has been a valued member of
the Board through some challenging periods. The Board would like to thank him
for his dedication during his time with Rolls-Royce.
