M&C SAATCHI PLC

(the "Company" or "M&C Saatchi")

Appointment of Chief Financial Officer

M&C Saatchi announces that, as part of a managed succession process, Simon Fuller will join the Company as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and as a member of the Board on 1 July 2024.  Bruce Marson, Chief Financial Officer, will step down from the Board on 30 June 2024 and will revert to the position of Deputy Chief Financial Officer.

Simon is an experienced CFO, having held several executive and senior management roles across a range of UK listed companies. His former positions include CFO of Reach plc and McColl's Retail Group plc. He has also held senior managerial roles in the finance functions of Tesco plc, BT Group plc and COLT Telecom plc. He qualified as a chartered accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2001.

The Board thanks Bruce Marson for the key role he has played in the transformation of M&C Saatchi since he joined the Company in October 2021, stepping up to CFO in March 2023.

Zillah Byng-Thorne, Non-Executive Chair, commented:

"Simon joins us with a distinguished career of over 20 years of listed company experience and deep operational and strategic expertise. His wide experience in corporate governance, business transformation and investment strategy will help drive M&C Saatchi forward.

I thank Bruce for his contribution during his tenure as Chief Financial Officer. His leadership has been pivotal as we navigated our significant transformation over the past 18 months, and we are delighted that we will retain his expertise in the group."

Zaid Al-Qassab, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"I am pleased to welcome Simon, whose skills will be highly valuable in the new phase we have entered, as we drive M&C Saatchi to become the leading creative solutions partner for our clients, combining deep regional expertise with broad global reach. Building on the platform created under the leadership of Zillah and Bruce, whose talents I am pleased we will retain, I believe we have the right team to realise our potential in creating value for all stakeholders."

Simon Fuller, incoming Chief Financial Officer, commented:

"I am thrilled to be joining M&C Saatchi at such an exciting time for the business. Not only does this truly international brand have a remarkable creative heritage, but there is also a clear and compelling plan and vision for the future. I very much look forward to working in partnership with Zaid, the Board, Bruce and the wider team, to successfully deliver the next stage of the Company's development."
