In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.11, JTC today announces that Dr. Erika Schraner, Non-Executive Director, will assume the role of Chair of the Nomination Committee, with immediate effect.

Erika has been a member of the Company's Nomination Committee since joining the JTC Board as a Non-executive Director on 18 November 2019. Her board-level roles, held since 2001, have included serving as an Advisory Board Member for eBoomerang (USA) and Freeon Ltd (UK) and a Non-Executive Director of Kevian Capital Management LLP, a San Francisco based global asset management firm with US$200m in hedge fund assets and US$1bn in advisory assets. Erika currently holds one other Non-Executive Director role with Amino Technologies PLC, whom she joined in 2019 and where she is also Chair of the Audit Committee and a member of the Nomination and the Remuneration Committees.
