Marwyn Acquisition Company II Limited (the "Company" or "MAC II")

Appointment of Will Self as CEO

MAC II announces that Will Self has today been appointed as Chief Executive Officer and will join the board as an Executive Director of MAC II. Mr Self will now lead the development and execution of the overall company strategy.

Mr Self was previously at Curtis Banks Group PLC (CBP:LON) where he was Chief Executive Officer. Prior to this, he was Chief Executive Officer of Suffolk Life, a division of Legal & General. He holds a variety of non-executive roles and an MBA from Cranfield.

With the combination of social and macroeconomic conditions and trends, the Directors believe all generations are facing increasingly challenging financial situations, and that there is a well-defined need and opportunity, now more than ever, for clear and impartial support and solutions to be provided to, and shared amongst, friends, family and peers.

MAC II is seeking acquisition opportunities in the financial services sector, targeting businesses that present solutions to four interrelated themes: changing population and demographics; intergenerational wealth transfer; social and non-financial family support and concentration of wealth.

MAC II intends to execute its strategy through a combination of selective acquisitions of platform and bolt-on businesses and potential strategic partnerships with established financial services operators. It will also focus on delivering ongoing operational improvements in the businesses it acquires.

Chairman Mark Hodges commented: "We are delighted to welcome Will Self to the MAC II board as Chief Executive Officer. Will's sector expertise and knowledge will be invaluable as we deliver our strategy for MAC II to create new solutions to support families."
