David Law, member of the Board since September 2015 and Chair of
the Audit Committee since May 2017, will retire from the Board at
the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 23 May 2024
and will therefore not be seeking re-election.
Jeanette Wong will succeed Mr Law as Chair of the Audit Committee

Shriti Vadera, Chair of Prudential plc, will join the Remuneration
Committee as a member with effect from the conclusion of the

Ms Vadera said: "I am delighted that Mark is
joining us. He brings deep experience of the insurance industry in
our key markets, and his blend of commercial insight and actuarial
skills and experience will be a great asset to the Board and to the
Audit and Risk Committees.
We will have the opportunity to express our gratitude to David more
fully at the AGM in May. In the meantime, on behalf of the
Board, I would like to thank him for his immense contribution to
the Board, in particular through his leadership of the Audit
Committee for the past seven years, and to thank Jeanette for
agreeing to take on this additional responsibility."
