Directorate Change

Royal Mail plc (the Company) announces that Paul Murray will step down as a Non-Executive Director of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held on 19 July 2018 having served almost nine years on the Board and, therefore, will not stand for re-election at that time. Paul will also step down as Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and as a member of the Nomination, Remuneration and Pensions Committees at that time. Paul will be succeeded by Keith Williams as Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee.

Commenting on this, Peter Long, Chairman of Royal Mail, said:

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Paul for his valued contribution since his appointment in August 2009. Paul has played a critical part through a tremendous period of change for the Company, driven by his broad experience in finance and technology gained from a cross-section of industries. We wish him well for the future.

"Keith has extensive financial and customer service experience. He is undoubtedly a strong business leader and will be a very effective Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee."
