Chairman, Lady Barbara Judge CBE

The Board and team of LoopUp Group plc (AIM: LOOP) are deeply saddened by the death yesterday of our Non-Executive Chairman, Lady Barbara Judge, from pancreatic cancer. We extend our deepest sympathies to Barbara's family.

In terms of succession planning, the Board will give due consideration to appointing a new Chairman. In the interim, Mike Reynolds, currently Non-Executive Director and previously Chairman of the Group prior to our 2016 IPO, will assume the role of acting Non-Executive Chairman. Further updates will be made in due course.

Steve Flavell and Michael Hughes, co-CEOs of LoopUp Group, commented,

"We are deeply saddened by the loss of our Chairman, Lady Barbara Judge. Our thoughts are with Barbara's son, Lloyd and her family at this very difficult time.

Barbara led such an incredible life, breaking down barriers across sectors and issues, as well as helping others to do the same. Even in the final stages of her life, Barbara was striving to make a difference in raising awareness of pancreatic cancer.

We are so very lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know and work with Barbara and have benefitted tremendously from her stewardship. We will miss her presence, her wealth of experience and the calm guidance she brought to us."
