Directorate Change

DMGT today announces that, unconnected with the Reorganisation, Tim Collier, Executive Director and Group CFO, has decided to step down as an Executive Director and Group CFO of DMGT. This will take effect on: (i) if the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional, the date on which the settlement of the Share Element of the Special Dividend takes place; or (ii) if the Offer does not become or is not declared unconditional, the date of the next AGM - scheduled for 2 February 2022; or such other date as he may be agreed with DMGT. DMGT will commence the search to appoint a successor early in the New Year.

Commenting, Lord Rothermere, Chairman of DMGT, said: "The Board would like to thank Tim for the commitment and dedication he has shown to DMGT in his nearly five years as Group CFO. During his time here he has played a vital role in executing the Group's strategy and transforming the portfolio. In particular, Tim has been instrumental in the sales of several of our businesses, most recently RMS, and the balance sheet has been strengthened substantially during his tenure. We thank him for the contribution he has made. We will miss him terribly but wish him the best of health and happiness in the future."
