Vistry Group PLC

 Appointment of Chief Executive Officer

 

Vistry Group PLC ("Vistry", the "Group" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce the appointment of Adam Daniels as Chief Executive Officer and
Executive Director with immediate effect. Adam is currently the Executive
Chair of one of Vistry's two largest operating divisions and a member of the
Group's Executive Leadership Team.

Adam brings significant experience in the UK partnerships, affordable housing
and housebuilding sectors, with a strong track record in operational delivery,
capital discipline, land management and customer outcomes. He has strong
working relationships with some of the largest Local Authorities and Housing
Associations nationwide.

Adam joined Countryside Partnerships in 2016, helping to establish new regions
and grow the business, taking on his first senior leadership role in 2019.
Since then, Adam has undertaken a variety of leadership roles with
responsibility for large areas of the Vistry business across the country.
Prior to Countryside, Adam worked at Galliford Try Partnerships and Bloor
Homes.

The appointment follows the conclusion of a thorough multi-year CEO succession
and development process led by the Nomination Committee, supported by external
advisers, which considered both internal and external candidates.

Rob Woodward, Non-Executive Chair of Vistry said: "I am delighted to confirm
the appointment of Adam Daniels as CEO of Vistry. Adam is a proven leader,
clear thinker and strong operator. I am looking forward to working closely
with Adam, our CFO Tim Lawlor, and the rest of the Executive Leadership Team
to ensure we maximise the strengths and opportunities of the Group's
mixed-tenure Partnerships model. The Board is confident that Adam's
collaborative, values-led approach will leverage Vistry's unique partnerships
capabilities, resources and highly talented people to deliver on the Group's
clear potential and create long-term value for all stakeholders."

Adam Daniels, Vistry's incoming CEO said: "I have been privileged to lead many
parts of the organisation, and I am now honoured to be appointed CEO. I see
first-hand the pride and passion that our people bring in delivering the high
quality, mixed-tenure homes this country so badly needs.

 

"As outlined at the time of our 2025 results last month, the Group is
currently focused on improving cash generation, driving Open Market sales and
reducing inventory levels. These objectives remain an absolute priority for
Tim and I during 2026 to ensure the business is well positioned to capture the
opportunities ahead.

 

"Vistry is a great business, with an unrivalled position in leading the
industry in the delivery of Affordable Housing, and a strong track record of
delivery in the homebuilding sector. We have a unique Partnerships model,
strong relationships with our partners, and the benefits of our approach will
be central to realising our clear potential and creating long-term value."

 

Adam Daniels will succeed Greg Fitzgerald who by mutual agreement is stepping
down as Executive Chair and CEO and as a Board Director with immediate effect.
Rob Woodward will take up his role as Chair and Rowan Baker her role as Senior
Independent Director with immediate effect. Greg will remain available to
assist with all transition arrangements and provide any advice as required.

As the Company's AGM Notice has already been issued, the Company confirms that
the resolution to re-elect Greg Fitzgerald as a Director of the Company
(resolution number 5) is now withdrawn. The withdrawal of resolution number 5
does not otherwise affect the validity of the Notice of Meeting, the proxy
form or any proxy votes already submitted on other proposed resolutions. The
numbering of all other proposed resolutions at the AGM will remain
unchanged.

 

There are no further matters to be disclosed under LR 6.4.8R.
