Dignity plc
Directorate Change: Interim Chief Financial Officer
Dignity plc (Dignity, the Company, or the Group), one of the
UK's largest national providers of funeral plans and end of life
services, is pleased to announce the appointment of Angela Eames as
Interim Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director to the Board
with immediate effect. Angela is currently Dignity's Group
Financial Controller and interim Chief Financial Officer of Dignity
Funerals Ltd.
Angela is a chartered management accountant who joined Dignity
33 years ago and has a wealth of experience and knowledge of
Dignity and its operations.
Angela replaces Dean Moore, who steps down with immediate effect
from his role as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Group. Dean
remains on the Board as an independent Non-Executive Director.
Despite Dean's role as Interim Chief Financial Officer until
today's date, the Board determined that this did not and would not
materially interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment
in respect of the Company's business.
The composition of certain Board Committees has been updated to
reflect these Board changes as follows:
-- Dean Moore has been appointed to the Remuneration Committee.
Membership of the Remuneration Committee now comprises Graham
Ferguson, Giovanni (John) Castagno, Kartina Tahir Thomson and Dean
Moore.
-- Dean Moore has been appointed to the Audit Committee.
Membership of the Audit Committee now comprises Graham Ferguson,
Kartina Tahir Thomson and Dean Moore.
-- Dean Moore has been appointed to the Nomination Committee.
Membership of the Nomination Committee now comprises Giovanni
(John) Castagno, Graham Ferguson, Kartina Tahir Thomson and Dean
Moore.
-- Dean Moore has been appointed to the Risk Committee.
Membership of the Risk Committee now comprises Kartina Tahir
Thomson, Giovanni (John) Castagno, Graham Ferguson and Dean
Moore.
Giovanni (John) Castagno, Group Chair, commented:
"We are delighted to welcome Angela onto the Board in an interim
role. Her knowledge of the Group and experience has been and
continues to be invaluable. We continue the process to recruit a
permanent Chief Financial Officer which has been postponed awaiting
the outcome of the recommended offer for Dignity PLC by Yellow
(SPC) Bidco Limited.
We are also extremely grateful to Dean for his wise counsel in
the interim role, which he has performed since 1 January 2021 and
now wishes to dedicate more time to his other non-executive roles
and business interests. Dean's experience will now serve the Group
well as an independent Non-Executive Director. Both Dean and
Angela's appointments afford the Group a smooth transition in the
management of our finance functions.
This announcement is made pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.11R.
There are no further details required to be disclosed under Listing
Rule 9.6.13R.
