Board Changes

 

System1 Group plc (AIM: SYS1) today announces that having completed nine
years' service as a Non-Executive Director, Graham Blashill, Chairman, has
informed the Board that he will not be seeking re-election at the Annual
General Meeting later this year. At that time, Rupert Howell, Non-Executive
Director and Chair of the Remuneration Committee will be appointed Chairman of
System1 Group.

 

The Company has today appointed Philip Machray to the Board of Directors of
the Company as a Non-Executive Director with effect from 27 May.

 

Philip started his career at Deloitte in 1992, where he qualified as a
chartered accountant and became a Director in the Technology, Media and
Telecoms practice. He then joined Trinity Mirror Group, where he held a number
of roles including Director of Corporate Development, reporting to the Chief
Executive Officer of what became Reach PLC. Since 2021, Philip has been Chief
Financial Officer of Merit Group PLC, a data and intelligence business, and a
Non-Executive Director of Digitalbox, a mobile-first digital publisher and AIM
listed company, where he is Chairman of the Audit Committee.

 

John Kearon, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "I should like to
thank Graham for his outstanding contribution to System1 over the past decade.
His leadership, stewardship and advice as our Chairman will be greatly missed.
In Rupert Howell we have a worthy successor with a wealth of experience in
advertising, marketing and media. I should also like to welcome Philip Machray
to the Board and am confident his knowledge and insight will contribute
significantly to our future success."
