Directorate Change

Micro Focus International plc ("Micro Focus" or "the Company", LSE: MCRO.L), the Enterprise Application Modernization and Testing software company, announces that Nick Bray, Chief Financial Officer, has informed the Board that he has been in discussions with several companies, one of which is a strategic competitor to Micro Focus, that may or may not lead to him accepting a position with one of them as their Chief Financial Officer. Given the nature of these discussions, Nick has offered his resignation as a Director of the Company which the Board has accepted with immediate effect. Whilst the Board is disappointed with this turn of events, we appreciate Nick's integrity in stepping down at this time. The Board is grateful to Nick for his outstanding contribution to Micro Focus since joining the Company in 2005 and wishes him well in his future career. The Board will be asking Nick to remain on gardening leave for an appropriate period. A search for a successor has begun and a further announcement will be made in due course.
