Change of duties of Executive Director

ME Group International plc, the instant-service equipment group, announces that Tania Crasnianski stepped back from her role as Executive Director of the Company from 17 March 2026 and accordingly has also stood down from the Executive Team. Miss Crasnianski remains on the board of Directors (the 'Board') in a non-executive capacity.

Miss Crasnianski was appointed to the Board as an Executive Director in June 2021. In that capacity, she exercised a supervisory role over the Group's entities in Germany, Austria, UK, Ireland, Switzerland and Finland, as well as sitting on the Executive Team. In this latter capacity she played a pivotal role in providing, amongst other things, the optimisation of synergies and the sharing of corporate and operational best practices throughout the Group.

The Executive Team has recently been expanded to include the new Chief Operating Officer, Christophe Dantcikian, whose appointment was announced on 2 March 2026. Mr Dantcikian is responsible for matters formerly under Miss Crasnianski's purview.

Sir John Lewis OBE, Non-executive Chairman, said:

'I wish to place on record the thanks of the entire Board for the invaluable service and indefatigable dedication that Tania has brought to bear in the discharge of her duties. My fellow directors and I are delighted that she will continue to serve on the Board in a non-executive capacity and that as such the Board will continue to benefit from her in-depth knowledge of the Group, her wise counsel, and focussed and forensic insight.'
