Changes
The
Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc ("RBS") announces that with effect
from close of business of the 2018 Annual General
Meeting:
● Penny
Hughes will step down as a non-executive director of RBS, and as
Chairman of the Sustainable Banking Committee; and
● Mike
Rogers will assume the role of Chairman of the Sustainable Banking
Committee.
Howard
Davies, Chairman of RBS, said:
"I
would like to thank Penny for her exceptional contribution to the
Board of RBS having served as a non-executive director since
2010. During that time Penny has chaired both the Group
Performance and Remuneration and Sustainable Banking
Committees.
As the
Group Performance and Remuneration Committee Chairman, Penny was
focused on delivering pay structures which aligned with our goal of
building a safer and more sustainable bank, and the long-term
interests of shareholders. Penny has also been a champion for
stakeholder engagement and in her role as Chairman of the
Sustainable Banking Committee, has been instrumental in ensuring
the Board remains connected to the needs of our customers and wider
stakeholders.
Penny's
contribution, support and enthusiasm during this period of
significant change for RBS has greatly benefited both the Board and
the organisation as a whole. Penny's presence will be greatly
missed and she leaves with our good wishes for the
future.
Mike
Rogers will succeed Penny as Chairman of the Sustainable Banking
Committee. Mike has been a member of the Committee since 2016
and I am delighted that he will take on this role. With
Mike's retail, consumer and financial services background, I am
confident he will build on the good progress already made in making
this a sustainable bank for our stakeholders."
There
are no other matters requiring disclosure under Listing Rule
9.6.11.
