EXPERIAN PLC CHAIR APPOINTMENT

21 April 2026 - Experian plc, the global data and technology company, today announces that Adam Crozier will join the Board as an independent Non-Executive Director and Chair Designate from 12 May 2026, and will succeed Mike Rogers as Chair following the conclusion of the Experian plc Annual General Meeting to be held on 22 July 2026. This follows the Company's previous announcement that Mike will retire as a Director and Chair of Experian plc at the conclusion of the AGM, having served on the Board for nine years, including a highly successful seven year tenure as Chair. Adam Crozier will also serve on the Remuneration and Nomination & Corporate Governance Committees, and Chair the latter following the AGM.

Adam Crozier is an experienced Chair and former FTSE 100 Chief Executive with a strong track record of leading large consumer-facing organisations. He is currently Chair of BT Group plc, where he also chairs the Nomination Committee and has responsibility for security oversight. He is also Chair of Kantar Group, a data, analytics and brand consulting company. His career spans senior leadership roles across multiple sectors, with particular experience in brand-led businesses and in driving digital and operational transformation.

Adam was also previously Chair of Whitbread PLC and ASOS plc, and a Non-Executive Director of Sony Group Corporation.

Alison Brittain, Senior Independent Director, said: "Following a comprehensive and rigorous search process, the Board is delighted to appoint Adam as Chair. He brings extensive experience of leading large, complex organisations and a strong track record in data-driven and technology-enabled businesses. Adam's strategic judgement, extensive Chair experience and measured approach position him well to support the Company's continued growth, and the Board looks forward to the perspective he will bring to Experian during the next phase of its development."

Brian Cassin, Chief Executive Officer, said: "On behalf of the Board and everyone at Experian, I would like to thank Mike Rogers for his significant contribution over many years, both as Chair and previously as a Non-Executive Director. His leadership has been instrumental in the Company's development, and we are grateful for his guidance and support.

"We are very pleased to welcome Adam to the Board. He brings extensive leadership and Board experience across large, international businesses, and his insight will be valuable as we continue to execute our strategy and deliver long-term growth."

Adam Crozier said: "I am delighted to be joining Experian at an important stage in its development. The Company has built a strong track record of growth, underpinned by its data, technology and deep customer relationships, and is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities ahead. I look forward to working with the Board and management team to support continued successful execution of its strategy and delivery of long-term value for stakeholders."

Mike Rogers, Chair, said: "It has been a privilege to serve on the Board of Experian since 2017 and as Chair over the past seven years, and I am pleased to welcome Adam to the Board, and as my successor as Chair. The Company is well positioned for the future, and I am confident it will continue to deliver sustained success. I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their support and wish Experian every success in the years ahead."
