Directorate Change

The Board of IG Group Holdings Plc (the "Company", "IG" or "IG Group") today announces that Andrew MacKay, Director of Corporate Strategy, has decided to step down from the Board and leave the Company to pursue other interests.

Andrew joined IG Group in 1999 as Group Legal Counsel and was appointed to the Board in 2003.  He spent three years as Head of Asia Pacific, before his most recent appointment as Head of Corporate Strategy.

Jonathan Davie, Chairman of IG Group, said:

"I am sorry to lose Andrew and I am exceptionally grateful for the help and guidance he has provided over many years.  He has played a key role in IG's development for over a decade, and has been central to the Company's global expansion.  I wish him every success in the future."

Andrew MacKay said:

"In 1999 I joined a small company with some very talented people.  I am proud to have spent 13 years developing this business alongside such a great team, and to leave it as a truly global player and a leader in its field."

Andrew steps down from the Board with effect from 31 July.  He will remain employed by the Group for the next six months, during which time he will manage an orderly handover of his responsibilities.
