MIKE EVANS STEPS DOWN FROM CHAIR OF M&G PLC

 

M&G plc announces that Mike Evans has stepped down as Chair, with effect from 1 April, to concentrate on the recovery of his health.

 

Mike took a temporary leave of absence from his duties as Chair at the beginning of the year due to a stress-related illness.

 

He says: "While I am making good progress on my recovery, I do not feel that I would be able to return to the business before the end of the year. I have therefore decided, in the best interests of the company and to ensure good governance, that I step down as Chair."

 

The M&G plc Board thanks Mike for his significant contribution to the company over the last two and a half years and wishes him all the best for the future.

 

M&G plc will initiate an immediate search for a new Chair. The search will be led by Fiona Clutterbuck, who stepped up to interim Chair from Senior Independent Director when Mike took his leave of absence.
