Directorate and Committee Changes

Workspace Group PLC (the "Company") today announces changes to the structure and membership of certain of its Board Committees.

The Company is pleased to announce the formation of a Board ESG Committee which will be responsible for overseeing the Company's sustainability strategy. The ESG Committee will be comprised of all members of the Board, both executive and non-executive. Duncan Owen, non-executive director, has been appointed as Chair of the new ESG Committee.

The Risk Committee was formed in September 2020 as the Company began implementation of an updated risk management framework, and the dedicated Risk Committee has served the Company well as it has progressed with embedding that framework. Now that implementation of the framework has been significantly progressed, it is considered that the responsibilities of the Risk Committee can be effectively dealt with by the Audit Committee and directly by the Board. It has therefore been decided to integrate certain activities of the Company's Board Risk Committee into the Audit Committee, with the Board retaining overall responsibility for risk management.

Membership of the Company's Audit Committee now comprises Rosie Shapland (Chair), Lesley-Ann Nash and Manju Malhotra.

There are no changes to the composition of the Company's Remuneration Committee or Nominations Committee.

Damon Russell will step down at the close of the Company's AGM in July 2022 having served nine years on the Board.
