Change of Auditor

Following a competitive tender process overseen by the Group Audit & Risk Committee, the Company announces the resignation of Deloitte LLP as auditor and the appointment, with immediate effect, of Grant Thornton as auditor for the financial year ending 31 December 2022. Grant Thornton's re-appointment for the subsequent financial year will be subject to approval by shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2023.

The Audit & Risk Committee decided to undertake a formal audit tender process following the end of the last financial period, which represented the fifth set of financial statements audited by Deloitte LLP.
