Board and Committee changes

Non-Executive Directors

Meggitt today announces that Brenda Reichelderfer will retire from her position as Non-Executive Director on 27 April 2017, immediately prior to the AGM.

The Board has agreed to appoint Nancy Gioia to the Board of Directors (and as a member of the Audit, Remuneration and Nominations Committees) with effect from 27 April 2017. Nancy, a US citizen and electrical engineer, joined Ford Motor Company in 1982 and worked in a number of senior roles across engineering and manufacturing/operations before retiring in 2014. Nancy is currently a non-executive of the US energy business Exelon Corporation and a member of their Finance and Risk and Generation Oversight Committees, technology group Brady Corporation where she is Chair of the Technology Committee and is a member of the Management Development and Compensation Committee. Nancy also holds a series of non-profit advisory roles.

Sir Nigel Rudd said:

"Brenda has brought significant US, engineering and operational experience from the aerospace industry to the Board and her independent advice and counsel since her appointment in 2011 has been invaluable. On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our sincere thanks to Brenda for the excellent contribution she has made to the Board and to wish her all the best for the future.

Nancy's appointment enables the Board to retain critical US and engineering experience. Nancy's experience in the fast-moving automotive industry will be of great benefit to Meggitt as we focus on accelerating our strategic initiatives and delivering further operational efficiencies to drive long term shareholder returns."

Change to the composition of the Nominations Committee

The Board has taken account of investor feedback that the Nominations Committee should comprise only non-executive directors, and has amended it's Terms of Reference to reflect this decision. Accordingly, Chief Executive Stephen Young will cease to be a member of the Committee with immediate effect. There are no further changes to the Committee, which is now comprised of the Non-Executive Chairman and the non-executive directors.
