Appointment of Non-Executive Director

Litigation Capital Management Limited (AIM:LIT), a specialist alternate asset manager and leading international provider of disputes financing solutions, announces the appointment of Gerhard Seebacher as a non-executive director, with immediate effect.

Following the launch of LCM's US$150m Global Alternative Returns Fund in March 2020, LCM  seeks to expand and further embed its business as a leading alternate asset manager and Gerhard's appointment fulfils the Board's objective to further broaden the skill set and experience of current non-executive board members to align with that strategic goal. 

Gerhard (aged 54) brings to LCM's Board a long career in financial services and fund management. He has worked extensively in Europe and the US, including a 20-year-plus career at Bank of America in a number of senior management roles within the global investment bank. Gerhard was more recently a partner at Brevan Howard Asset Management, a leading global macro hedge fund, and is currently the Chief Investment Officer and owner of Boulder Hill LLC, a private investment company.

Jonathan Moulds, Chairman of the LCM Board : comments: "I am delighted that Gerhard is joining LCM at this exciting time for the company. His experience in global financial services and his breadth of financial relationships will be extremely valuable as LCM continues to expand its global portfolio."

Save as set out above, there are no other matters which are required to be disclosed in accordance with Rule 17 and paragraph (g) of Schedule Two of the AIM Rules for Companies.
