Directorate change

DTZ Holdings plc announces that Mr CY Leung has resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company, and also as Chairman of DTZ in Asia Pacific.

Mr Leung will leave the Company to campaign for the election as the next Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The election will take place on 25 March 2012. Appropriate arrangements for the continuing effective direction of the Company's Asia Pacific region are already in place.

Mr Leung will step down from the DTZ Board with immediate effect. His resignation as Chairman of DTZ Asia Pacific will take effect at or before the end of January 2012.

Tim Melville-Ross, Chairman of DTZ, commented: "CY is an outstanding professional of global repute and has been at the centre of DTZ's success in building the strongest real estate advisory business in China, and in the development of our wider Asia Pacific region. His advice at board level has consistently been invaluable. We have always been aware of and supportive of CY's interest to serve Hong Kong and we wish him well in the forthcoming election."

Mr Leung said: "I have been happy to be so closely associated with the success of DTZ in Asia Pacific, where the company now holds a leading position in the real estate advisory market. In Edward Cheung, David Watt and Alan Wong, DTZ's operations in the Asia Pacific region have an exceptional executive management team and I have every confidence that they will continue to lead the business to further success. I wish them and all my DTZ colleagues globally the very best."
