HARGREAVES LANSDOWN PLC (HL): Chief Financial Officer Departure

Hargreaves Lansdown plc (HL) announces that Amy Stirling, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has informed the Board of her decision to step down from her role following the sanction of the scheme of arrangement by the Court today and planned delisting of HL on 25 March 2025.

Recruitment is underway, and Amy will remain with the business through a transition period to ensure continuity and to provide sufficient time for a successor to be appointed and a thorough handover.

The Board would like to record its thanks and appreciation to Amy for her significant work at HL driving the business transformation that has been underway since she joined in February 2022.

Alison Platt, Chair of the Board said:

"HL has seen tremendous change over the course of the last 3 years, throughout which Amy has steered the business with a steady hand, driving our performance and transformation, with a focus on building relationships with investors and all our stakeholders alike. As we transition from public into private ownership, I would like to thank Amy on behalf of the Board for the very significant contribution she has made. We understand her decision to step down and on behalf of the board, I wish her all the very best for the future."

Dan Olley, Chief Executive Officer said:

 "Amy has been instrumental to our progress and a great driver and champion of all that makes HL successful. She will leave us a better business as a result of her guidance and leadership, for which I am enormously grateful."
