Board and Committee membership changes

WPP today announces, pursuant to the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing
Rule 9.6.11R, the following changes to its Board and Committee membership:

-     Nicole Seligman, Senior Independent Director, will not stand for
re-election to the Board at the Company's 2023 Annual General Meeting ('2023
AGM'), and will step down from the Board immediately following the conclusion
of the 2023 AGM, having completed a nine-year tenure on the Board.

 

-     Angela Ahrendts will succeed Nicole Seligman as Senior Independent
Director with effect from the conclusion of the 2023 AGM.

 

-     Cindy Rose will step down as a member of the Compensation Committee
and will join the Nomination and Governance Committee with effect from the
conclusion of the 2023 AGM.

Roberto Quarta, Chairman of WPP, said: "I would like to thank Nicole both
personally and on behalf of the Board for her outstanding commitment and
exceptional contribution to the Board and its committees. The last nine years
have seen profound changes within WPP and the wider industry, and her wise
counsel throughout that time has been invaluable. It has been a pleasure
working with Nicole, who leaves with our very best wishes for the future.

"I am delighted that Angela has agreed to succeed Nicole as Senior Independent
Director. Angela is an experienced director with a strong understanding of WPP
having been a Board member since July 2020. She is also a member of the
Nomination and Governance Committee and Sustainability Committee.

"Angela's deep knowledge and insight - especially in relation to the needs of
a global business - will be important as she leads the process for the
appointment of my successor.

"We look forward to working with her in this new capacity as the Board
supports the continued growth and success of WPP."
