("D9" or the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

Directorate Changes

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Eric Sanderson as Independent Non-Executive Chair of the Company.

Mr Sanderson is a chartered accountant and former CEO of British Linen Bank, which was the investment banking arm of the Bank of Scotland. He subsequently was Chief Executive of Bank of Scotland's Treasury arm and a member of the Bank of Scotland Management Board. He brings extensive non-executive investment company board experience. Mr Sanderson is currently Non-Executive Chair of JPMorgan Emerging Europe, Middle East & Africa Securities plc and is also Non-Executive Chair of BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust plc. He was formerly Non-Executive Chair of Schroders UK Mid Cap Fund plc (2011-2021) and a director of Dunedin Enterprise Investment Trust plc (1990-1997). He is also a former Chair of Dunedin Fund Managers Limited and its parent company DFM Holdings Limited.

Mr Sanderson's appointment will be effective immediately upon receiving the approval of the Jersey Financial Services Commission ("JFSC"), and Charlotte Valeur will step down as Interim Chair and Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company at that time.  Following his appointment, Mr Sanderson will become a member of the Risk, Valuation, Nomination and Management Engagement Committees.

Mr Sanderson's appointment follows an independent external recruitment process led by the Board's Nomination Committee.  The Nomination Committee, with the support of Mr Sanderson, is in the process of recruiting for at least one additional Non-Executive Director to support the execution of the managed wind-down, and a further update on this process will follow in due course. Mr Sanderson does not hold any shares in the Company.

There are no other details that are required to be disclosed in respect of Rule 9.6.13 of the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules.

Gailina Liew, Chair of the Nomination Committee and Senior Independent Director, Digital 9 Infrastructure plc, commented:

"We look forward to welcoming Eric Sanderson as a highly experienced and respected investment trust Chair to lead the Company through its managed wind-down process. We also take this opportunity to thank Charlotte Valeur for her commitment to the Company since IPO and for her dedicated leadership as Interim Chair of the Company over the past four months. As a Board we remain committed to executing an orderly wind-down to maximise shareholder value over time."

ENDS.
