Further to the announcement made on 15 June 2011, Aviva plc (the "Company") announces that Lord Sharman of Redlynch retired as chairman of the board and as a director of the Company on 30 June 2012. Lord Sharman also stepped down as chairman of the Nomination Committee and as a member of the Corporate Responsibility Committee on 30 June 2012.

The Company confirms that, further to its announcements on 15 June 2011 and 8 May 2012, John McFarlane became executive chairman of the Company, with effect from 1 July 2012.

Commenting on Lord Sharman's retirement, John McFarlane said:

"Colin chaired the board of Aviva successfully, mainly during a period

of economic uncertainty and he brought his extensive experience in the international financial services industry to bear during this period. Under his

leadership of the board, the Company also developed into a single strong brand, easily recognisable in the markets where it operates. On behalf

of the board, I would like to thank Colin for his service to the Company and we all wish him well for the future."
