("ITM Power" or the "Company")

Planned Board Change

ITM Power (AIM: ITM) announces that Dr Graham Cooley has decided to step aside from his position as CEO of the Company after 13 years in post, during which time he has led the Company through very significant growth and development.  The Company has commenced a process to select a new CEO.  Dr Cooley will remain in position until a successor is appointed, and thereafter assume a senior strategic role in the Company, reporting to the Chairman and the new CEO. The Company wishes to place on record its enormous gratitude and respect for Dr Cooley's leadership over the years.  The Board is delighted that the Company will continue to benefit from his immense experience and expertise in the hydrogen sector.

Dr Graham Cooley said: "It has been a privilege to lead ITM Power through its transition from an R&D business to a world leading electrolyser manufacturing company.  As we seek to become a global manufacturing powerhouse, now is a good time for me to step aside and hand over to someone with more experience in this area.

"The whole team at ITM Power has been a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with a new CEO and continuing my involvement with the Group."

Sir Roger Bone, Chairman of ITM Power said in response : "Graham's contribution to this Company's growth, over many years, is immeasurable.  We are pleased that he has agreed to remain with the Company in a strategic role so that we may continue to benefit from his knowledge, wisdom, experience and relationships.

"On behalf of the Board, all of ITM Power's staff and shareholders, I thank him for his efforts and vision in helping to create the business we are today."
