DIRECTORATE CHANGE

FDM Group (Holdings) plc ("FDM", or "the Company"), a global professional services provider with a focus on IT, is pleased to announce the appointment of Alan Kinnear as an independent non-executive Director of the Company with effect from 1 January 2020.

In addition, Robin Taylor, Audit Committee Chair and an independent non-executive Director since June 2014, has notified his intention to retire from the Board at the close of the Annual General Meeting to be held on 29 April 2020. Alan Kinnear will succeed Robin Taylor as Audit Committee Chair on that date.

Alan Kinnear was with PwC for 35 years until his retirement in 2015, including 23 years as an audit partner working with listed, private equity-backed and fast-growth entrepreneurial companies. He was a member of PwC's South East regional board and a national leader for audit services in the private equity sector. Alan was the PwC partner leading the external audit in respect of FDM's 2013 and 2014 financial year-ends.

During the year following his retirement from PwC in 2015 Alan was a non-executive director with CEGA Holdings Limited. He currently has no external appointments.

Alan is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland.

David Lister, non-executive Chairman of FDM, commented:

"We are delighted to welcome Alan onto the FDM board. He brings significant skills in financial reporting, regulation, corporate governance and risk management and already has a degree of familiarity with the FDM business. I am pleased that the overlap between Alan's appointment to the Board and Robin's retirement will allow for a thorough handover process for the Audit Committee Chair role.

On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Robin for his dedicated guidance and contribution to the Board's work over almost six years since our IPO in 2014."

Other than as referred to above, there are no matters requiring disclosure pursuant to paragraph 9.6.13R of The Listing Rules.
