Further to the Board’s stated intention to review its composition, as announced on 20 October 2026, the Company announces the following changes to the Board, completing the planned Chair succession process and continuing the evolution of the Board’s composition to support the Company’s next phase of development.

 

As previously announced, Neil O’Brien informed the Board of his intention to retire as Non-Executive Chair following a formal succession process. With the transition to his successor now complete, Neil O’Brien will retire from the Board and Volker Beckers, currently a Non-Executive Director of the Company, will become Non-Executive Chair with immediate effect.

 

Additionally, after five years of service, Kristina Peterson has informed the Board of her intention to step down as a Non-Executive Director with immediate effect. The Board would like to thank her for her contribution to Invinity, including the extensive U.S. energy and infrastructure financing experience she has brought to the Company during her tenure.

 

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Jonathan Keeling as a Non-Executive Director with immediate effect. Jonathan is an experienced corporate broker and investor with significant experience across the energy sector and growth companies. He was previously Chief Executive Officer of Arden Partners Limited, a corporate broking firm, where he advised a number of companies in the energy sector. He is also the majority owner of Next Gen Mobility Limited, an investment company and shareholder in Invinity.

Volker Beckers, Non-Executive Chair at Invinity said:

 

“On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Neil O’Brien for the significant contribution he has made to Invinity over his many years of service to the Company. His personal dedication and passion for the energy storage industry have been a constant throughout that time, and we wish him every success for the future. I would also like to thank Kristina Peterson for the experience and insight she has brought to Invinity and her valuable contribution to the Board over the past five years, as well as welcome Jonathan Keeling to the Board. His extensive capital markets and growth company experience will be highly valuable as Invinity enters the next stage of its development.

 

“I am very excited to be taking on the role of Chair at what I believe is an important moment in the Company’s development. Over the past four months, I have had the opportunity to spend significant time with Invinity’s highly skilled team and to meet many of the Company’s key partners, investors and customers. Those conversations have reinforced my conviction in the enormous potential of the business, underpinned by differentiated technology, strong capabilities and significant opportunities ahead. I look forward to working closely with the Board and management team to convert that potential into tangible progress and long-term value for our shareholders.

 

“As we look ahead, I believe there is an opportunity to build on Invinity’s existing strengths while continuing to evolve the way we govern and develop the business. I am focused on ensuring strong alignment between the Board and our shareholders, and on ensuring that our governance meets the highest standards as the Company develops. I look forward to engaging closely with our shareholders and other key stakeholders in the months and years ahead, and to ensuring that their perspectives help inform our approach as we govern and grow the business.”
