Directorate Changes

Premier Miton Group plc (AIM: PMI) today announces that Mike Vogel has informed the Board that he will not be seeking re-election as Chairman at the Company's forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 3 February 2021 and will retire from the Board at this Meeting.

Mike Vogel has served as Chairman since 2007 and, in recent years, has overseen the Company's admission to trading on AIM and the merger of Premier Asset Management with Miton Group.

Robert Colthorpe will be appointed as Chairman at the AGM on 3 February 2021. Robert joined the Board in 2016; he is currently the Senior Independent Director and Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee.  Premier Miton expects to appoint a new Non-Executive Director during 2021 following a recruitment process and an announcement will be made in due course.

Mike Vogel, commented

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time chairing the business, supporting the buy-out from Electra, seeing the company grow, our successful AIM IPO and achieving a transformational merger with Miton Group. After over 13 years, I feel the time is now right to step aside and we are very fortunate that we have someone with Robert's deep experience and expertise to take on the role. I intend to remain as a shareholder in Premier Miton and look forward to sharing in its future success."

Mike O'Shea, CEO commented

"Mike has provided tremendous support and guidance to the Board, and myself, over the years and he has presided over a period of strong growth and significant change for the business. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank him for his dedication and leadership over this time. I very much look forward to working with Robert and building on the company's strong foundations."
