M&G plc

CHANGES TO THE M&G PLC BOARD

Robin Lawther is to step down as a Non-Executive Director of M&G plc, the international savings and investments business.

This reflects the significantly increased demands on Ms Lawther's time from her other professional commitments in the current environment.  

Mike Evans, Chairman of M&G plc says "Robin has made a terrific contribution to M&G, for which I and the rest of the Board are grateful.  We all wish her the very best for the future."

Having helped to steer M&G through its listing on the LSE last year and achieve approval for its new remuneration policy, Ms Lawther adds;  "It's been an exciting time to be at M&G and I particularly appreciated working with Mike Evans as Chair.  I am committed to continue to help M&G during the transition."

The search for a successor will start immediately.  Ms Lawther will officially step down as M&G plc Non-Executive Director and as Chair of the Remuneration Committee no later than 31 March 2021, ensuring sufficient time for a successor to be appointed.
