Board Changes

Merit Group plc (AIM: MRIT), the data and intelligence business, announces the restructuring of its Board and the resignation of Richard Boon and Vijay Vaghela from the Board with immediate effect.

Mark Smith, Chairman of Merit, said;

"Following the disposal of our Media, Events and Training assets late in 2022, and given the consequent reduced complexity of the business, Richard and Vijay have decided to resign which supports the Board's decision to reduce the size of the Board. The Company has been extremely well served by Richard and Vijay and I am very grateful for their contribution and wise counsel in their time on the Board."

Dame Diane Lees DBE has been appointed as a member of the Audit Committee which will now be chaired by Mark Smith.
