SHAFTESBURY CAPITAL PLC (the "Company") - BOARD CHANGES

Shaftesbury Capital PLC today announces a number of changes to the composition of its Board.

Following the announcement of the departure of the Chief Operating Officer from the Company on 22 December 2023, which will result in a reduced Executive team, further Board changes will be made reflecting the excellent progress on integration since completion of the merger between Capital & Counties Properties PLC and Shaftesbury PLC and the move towards a more efficient organisational structure. Non-executive Directors Anthony Steains, Jennelle Tilling and Helena Coles have agreed to step down from the Board to facilitate this with effect from 31 January 2024.

Anthony, Jennelle and Helena have played important roles on the Board of the Company and prior to that, the Boards of Capital & Counties Properties PLC and Shaftesbury PLC. They made a significant contribution to the merger and the subsequent successful integration. 

Senior Independent Director Richard Akers will become chair of the Remuneration Committee on 1 January 2024.

Jonathan Nicholls, Chairman, commented:

"I would like to thank Anthony, Jennelle and Helena for their exceptional service and significant contribution to the Company and the former businesses. Their support, particularly through a period of significant change has been greatly valued and we wish them well for the future."
