Hansard Global plc

("Hansard Global" or the "Company")

Executive Management Changes

Hansard Global announces today that Vince Watkins will be resigning from his position of Chief Financial Officer and retiring from the Company after 20 years' service.

Tim Davies will be joining Hansard Global as Chief Financial Officer with effect from 8 April 2015, assuming responsibility for Finance, Actuarial, Legal and Company Secretarial functions. Vince will remain with the Company until 30 June in order to oversee a period of transition.

Tim, 41, joins us with 19 years of insurance experience, most recently with HSBC Life Europe, Dublin, where he spent the last 8 years as Managing Director and as Finance Director for 2 years prior to that. Prior to this he was Senior Manager with PricewaterhouseCoopers in both Dublin and Boston, having worked 9 years within their insurance and financial services division.

At the same time, Paul Harwood, Group Chief Actuary, will be leaving the Company after 20 years' service. This role will be taken over by his current deputy, Ailish Sherlin, who will report to the CFO. Ailish has been at the Company for 11 years.

Gordon Marr, Chief Executive, said:

"I welcome Tim and congratulate him on his appointment. I am delighted he is joining our Company. He has a keen understanding of insurance businesses and was the outstanding candidate for the role.

"The Board would like to thank Vince for all his service to the Company over the last 20 years. Vince guided the Company to its listing on the London Stock Exchange in 2006 and has played a key role in leading the finance team and investor relations function. We wish him well for the future. Likewise, the Board expresses its gratitude to Paul for his many years of service and his work in various roles across the Group, and similarly wishes him well for the future."

The increased interim dividend of 3.5p per share is funded by positive operating cash flows

[skinny] 26/2/2015 07:10

SUMMARY

· In line with our strategic plan we have successfully entered into business relationships with significant IFA networks and other institutions in our target markets which will provide a platform for sustainable and diversified new business flows;

· IFRS profits of £6.6m are in line with the comparative period and in line with expectations;

· EEV profit after tax of £6.6m (H1 2014: £2.2m loss) reflects improved market performance and the strengthening of the US dollar against sterling over the period. The low level of new business in the period resulted in a negative contribution from new business;

· The increased interim dividend of 3.5p per share is funded by positive operating cash flows;

· Our estimate of the Group's exposure, including professional costs, in relation to the issue of Chargeable Events Certificates announced in FY 2014, remains unchanged at £5.0m;

· There has been no material change in the litigation against Hansard Europe. Writs totalling approximately £5.4m remain outstanding (30 June 2014: £5.2m). We continue to defend these claims strenuously.
