Board change

Litigation Capital Management Limited (AIM:LIT), a leading international alternate asset manager of disputes financing solutions, advises that the employment of Nick Rowles-Davies by the Company's subsidiary, LCM Corporate Services Pty Ltd, has been terminated on the grounds of gross misconduct effective 17 December 2021. Following the termination of employment, and in accordance with the terms of his contract of employment, Mr. Rowles-Davies has been removed from his position as Executive Vice Chairman on the board of directors of the Company with immediate effect.

The decision to terminate Mr. Rowles-Davies' employment follows the identification of certain expenses claims which have been made in contravention of LCM's Global Expense Guidelines and Policy. While the breaches are a significant violation of internal company policies, their quantum is not material to LCM's financial condition and performance.

This announcement includes inside information as defined in Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation No. 596/2014 (as it forms part of UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) and is being released on behalf of the Company by Mary Gangemi, Chief Financial Officer.
