Appointment of Jane Guyett to the Hiscox Ltd Board

 

Hamilton, Bermuda (2 September 2024): Hiscox Ltd ("Hiscox" or the "Company") today announces the appointment of Jane Guyett as an Independent Non Executive Director and Chair of its Remuneration Committee, subject to regulatory approval.

Jane is a highly experienced Non Executive Director, having held a range of roles across both the public and private sectors. These include serving as Senior Independent Director at UK Government Investments Limited and as Chair of the Remuneration Committee at the Royal London Mutual Insurance Society.

In addition, Jane has over 25 years of extensive executive experience, predominantly in the banking sector across EMEA and Asia. This includes 15 years at Bank of America Securities, latterly as Chief Operating Officer for EMEA.

Colin Keogh, Hiscox Interim Chair, commented: "Jane has an impressive combination of extensive global executive experience and a track record of contributing to effective boards and committees in a variety of capacities. These attributes will be valuable as the business continues its ambitious growth trajectory."

Following last month's confirmation of Colin Keogh as the Company's Interim Chair, the Board has commenced the search for a permanent Chair. Independent Non Executive Director Lynn Pike will serve as Interim Senior Independent Director, and Colin will cease to be a member of the Remuneration Committee upon Jane's appointment.

There are no other details that are required to be disclosed in respect of the appointment of Jane Guyett under UK Listing Rule 6.4.8.
