Appointment of Non-Executive Director

FIH Group plc, the AIM quoted international specialist services group with businesses in the Falkland Islands and the UK, is pleased to announce the appointment of Holger Swen Schröder as a non-executive director of the Group with effect from 1 June 2023.

Holger has over 28 years' experience gained in a variety of predominantly Swiss companies, most recently as the CFO and a board member of Janser Group, a family owned real estate and investment business based in Switzerland, where he has been for the last six years. Janser Group controls 12.6% of the ordinary share capital of FIH (which comprises 1,451,998 shares in FIH held by Janser Group and a further 125,327 held personally by Martin Janser).

Robin Williams, Chairman of FIH, said, "I am delighted that Holger has agreed to join the Board of FIH. His experience and business knowledge will be of great benefit to FIH and the strengthening of shareholder representation on the Board should add further support to the Group's strategic direction. I look forward to welcoming him in June."

The Board also intends to appoint an independent non-executive director to replace Robin Williams, who steps down in September, and this search is underway.

The following information is disclosed relating to Holger Schröder pursuant to Schedule Two paragraph (g) of the AIM Rules for Companies.

Holger Schröder, aged 49 years, holds 12,906 shares in FIH and has been a director of the following companies during the five years preceding the date of this announcement:
