Chair Succession

 

Trustpilot Group plc (the "Company") announces that Zillah Byng-Thorne, an independent non-executive director and Chair Designate of the Company, will succeed Tim Weller as Chair of the Company with effect from 3 April  2023. Tim Weller will remain as a non-executive director of the Company to ensure a smooth handover of duties and will not seek re-election as a director of the Company at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), currently scheduled for 23 May 2023. Tim has been Chair of Trustpilot since February 2013.

 

Zillah is currently Chief Executive Officer of Future plc and a non-executive director of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. As announced by Future plc on 22 February 2023, Zillah will be standing down from her role as Chief Executive Officer of Future plc on 31 March 2023.

 

Tim Weller commented:

"Following the Company's announcement on 12 January 2023 of Zillah's appointment as Chair Designate, there has been a thorough handover of duties and, therefore, it would be appropriate for me to stand down from the Board at the AGM. I wish Zillah and the Board every success for the future."

 

Zillah Byng-Thorne commented:

"I am pleased to succeed Tim as Chair of the Company, Trustpilot has an important part to play in promoting trust in the online economy, and I look forward to continuing my work with the Board and the management team to ensure that we make further progress against our strategy and towards achieving our mission and purpose."

 

Peter Mühlmann, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Tim for all his hard work, oversight, and leadership during his ten-year tenure as Chair of Trustpilot. Under his guidance, Trustpilot has grown significantly and achieved a number of important milestones, including a successful IPO in 2021. I am delighted that we have found such a strong successor in Zillah, and I look forward to continuing to work with her on the profitable long-term growth of the business."

 

There are no other details that are required to be disclosed in respect of Rule 9.6.13 of the Listing Rules, other than those disclosed in the Company's announcement of a directorate change on 15 September 2022.
