Appointment of Nicola Mitford-Slade as a Non-Executive Director

Hon. Robert Hanson to stand down from the Board

Oberon Investments Group plc (AQSE: OBE), the investment management, wealth planning and corporate broking group, announces the appointment of Nicola Mitford-Slade as Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.

Nicola brings with her extensive financial services experience, most recently as General Counsel for Smith & Williamson and then Evelyn Partners (post-merger), a position she held for seven years across the two businesses. Prior to this she spent seven years at Canaccord Genuity, latterly as Head of Legal and Compliance and money laundering reporting officer for the UK regulated businesses, which included the investment banking and wealth management operations. Nicola is a qualified barrister.

The Company also announces that the Hon. Robert Hanson has confirmed his intention to stand down as Non-Executive Director and is expected to leave the Board in early June. Robert joined the Company in 2021, initially as Non-Executive Chairman, at the time of the acquisition of Oberon Investments Limited via the reverse take-over of Baskerville Capital plc.

Simon McGivern, CEO of Oberon, commented:

"I am very pleased to welcome Nicola to the Board of Oberon. Having worked in both the wealth management and financial advisory industries for a number of years, she brings with her unique insights which will greatly benefit Oberon. Her skillset will be a highly valuable addition to Board, particularly with her significant expertise in regulation and corporate governance."

"On behalf of everyone at Oberon, I would like to thank Robert for his contribution to the transformation and growth over the past three years and for his support and advice. With his help, we have built an exciting business with a growing brand in the market offering clients and investment managers a bespoke and personalised service."

Nicola Mitford-Slade commented:

"I am delighted to be joining Oberon at an exciting stage of the Company's development and working with Simon and the rest of the team. The business has a dynamic and inclusive culture which I look forward to contributing to."
