Directorate Change

The Board of abrdn plc announces that Catherine Bradley has advised that she will not seek re-election at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 24 April 2024 and will stand down from that date as a Non-Executive Director and as Chair of the Audit Committee. She will remain Chair of interactive investor (ii), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group.

Sir Douglas Flint, Chairman of abrdn plc, said:

"On behalf of the Board and all my colleagues, I would like to thank Catherine for her significant contribution to abrdn and our Board and Committee discussions. Earlier this year Catherine took on the chair of ii, our direct-to-consumer investments business, and she has concluded she should dedicate her available time commitment to this responsibility. I'm delighted she will remain connected with abrdn through her ii appointment where we will continue to benefit from her breadth of consumer, financial and regulatory experience as we carry on growing ii and the critical role it plays within the Group." 

Following this change, the Board will comprise two executive directors, six non-executive directors and the Chairman.
