Directorate and senior management changes

Man Group plc

11 June 2021, London

Man Group plc (the "Company"), announces today the following changes to its senior management and Board positions, which will take effect in the second half of the year:

·     Sandy Rattray has informed the Board of his intention to retire from his role as Chief Investment Officer. Sandy will hand over his responsibilities over the next few months and will then leave the Company during the second half of this year;

·     Mark Jones, Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), will be taking on the new role of Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Man Group (the "Group") with responsibility for Man AHL, Man Numeric and the Group's technology functions. Mark will take on his new role and step down from the Company's Board following the appointment of the new CFO; and

· The Board intends to appoint Antoine Forterre, currently Co-CEO of Man AHL, as the Group's CFO and as an Executive Director of the Company. Subject to regulatory approval, he will assume the CFO role and be appointed to the Board following an orderly transition from Mark Jones.

John Cryan, Chair of the Board and the Nomination Committee, commented:   " On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Sandy for his many years of outstanding service. He has played a huge part in driving our innovation and growth over that time. We welcome Mark and Antoine to their new roles as we look forward with confidence and optimism. Man Group has built a strong and deep bench of talent under Luke's leadership. Having undertaken a thorough external benchmarking exercise, the Board is pleased that we are able to promote internal talent as we continue to develop and grow our business."  

Luke Ellis, CEO of Man Group, said: "I would personally like to thank Sandy for his fantastic contribution to the firm in his role as CIO and previously as CEO of Man AHL. He has been at the heart of our pursuit of excellence in investing, and the cutting-edge technology that enables it, helping make Man Group what it is today. However, the silver lining is that I am very excited by the new appointments, the calibre of the team around me and the bench strength that we have as we continue our tech-driven growth journey."

This announcement is made in compliance with the Company's obligations under Listing Rule 9.6.11.

The Company confirms that no other disclosures are required pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.13R.
