11 December 2017

Board Committee changes

The Company announces that the Board has recently approved changes to the composition of two of its committees and that non-independent Directors, Mr Sumit Rajpal, formerly a member of the Remuneration Committee and Nomination Committee, and Mr Gary Hoffman, formerly a member of the Nomination Committee, have now stepped down from those committees. The Company confirms that these committees now only comprise members who are independent Non-Executive Directors.

The Company stated in its 2016 Annual Report and Accounts that it intended to be fully compliant with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code in relation to fully independent membership of the Remuneration Committee by the end of 2017.

The Terms of Reference for both committees have also been amended to reflect the membership and quorum requirements and are available for inspection at www.hastingsplc.com/about-us/corporate-governance.
