Appointment of Independent Non-Executive Director

JTC PLC is pleased to announce that May Hong Mei Knight has accepted appointment as an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Board with effect from 5 December 2024.

Ms. Knight's career spans over three decades in financial services, including banking, insurance, and asset management. Currently, she serves as an Independent Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Board Risk Committee at HSBC's Global Insurance business. Ms. Knight's expertise in risk management, governance, strategy, leadership development, and business growth, along with her commitment to diversity and inclusion, will bring valuable perspectives to the Board. In addition to her role as an Independent Non-Executive Director, Ms. Knight will be appointed as Chair of the Governance & Risk Committee and as a member of the Audit, Remuneration and Nomination Committees.

As previously announced, the Board and Nomination Committee are engaged in an ongoing search for suitable additional Independent Non-Executive Directors to further strengthen the Board and enhance diversity. In addition to Ms. Knight's forthcoming appointment, the Board expects to announce the appointment of a further Independent Non-Executive Director in early 2025. The Company will provide further updates in due course.

Mike Liston, OBE, Chairman of JTC PLC, commented:

"We are thrilled to be welcoming May to our Board in December. Her considerable experience in governance and risk management will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our operations and pursue our long-term goals. May's track record of developing risk frameworks makes her an outstanding addition to our Board."

"May brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven ability to drive strategic initiatives and enhance governance practices. Her addition to the Board is perfectly aligned with our commitment to excellence and innovation. I am looking forward to May's contribution as we continue to build on JTC's success."

May Knight stated:

"I am honoured to be joining JTC PLC as a Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Governance & Risk Committee.
