Synthomer plc
Appointment of Non-Executive Director

 

Synthomer plc ('Synthomer' or 'the Company') today announces that it has
appointed Martina Flöel as a Non-Executive Director. She will join the Board
and become a member of the Audit, Remuneration, and Nomination Committees with
effect from 1 September 2023.

 

Martina has considerable executive experience in the chemical industry.
Between 2003 and 2016, she led what became OXEA GmbH, after its creation as a
joint venture between Celanese AG and Degussa AG, during which time the
business grew considerably through a focus on specialisation. Prior to this,
Martina held a number of senior roles at Celanese and its predecessor company,
Hoechst AG, focusing on strategy, operations and capital investment, human
resources, and innovation and technology. Martina began her career as a
research chemist at Hoechst after receiving a PhD in chemistry from the
Technical University of Munich.

 

Martina has extensive Non-Executive Board experience, having served since 2018
on the Board of Sasol Limited, the global chemicals and energy company (US and
South Africa-listed), including as a member of the Remuneration, Capital
Investment, Digital and Safety, Sustainability, and Ethics Committees. Between
2017 and March 2023, Martina was a supervisory Board member of Finnish-listed
Neste Corporation, the renewable and circular solutions-focused refinery
company, serving as a member of the Audit and Remuneration Committees. Between
2019 and 2020, Martina also served on the supervisory Board of a family-owned
company in Germany.

 

Caroline Johnstone, Chair of Synthomer, said:

"I am delighted to welcome Martina to Synthomer's Board. Her international
experience and extensive knowledge of the chemicals sector in both an
Executive and Non-Executive capacity over many years will be enormously
valuable as we continue to execute Synthomer's strategy to focus, strengthen
and grow."

 

There are no further matters to be disclosed under LR9.6.13R of the Listing
Rules of the UK Listing Authority.
