Directorate Change - Carol Borg to join Serco Board as a Non-Executive Director and Risk Committee Chair Designate

Serco Group plc, the international provider of critical government services, today announces the appointment of Carol Borg as an Independent Non-Executive Director and Risk Committee Chair designate with effect from 1 December 2026.

Carol will be a member of the Audit Committee, Risk Committee and Nomination Committee upon appointment and will become the Chair of the Risk Committee on the announcement of the Company's 2026 full year results on 4 March 2027.  She will succeed Ian El-Mokadem who, having completed his nine-year tenure on the Board, will step down as Chair of the Risk Committee and as a Board member on that date.

Carol is currently Chief Financial Officer at Amadeus IT Group S.A., a position she has held since May 2025, and was previously Chief Financial Officer at QinetiQ Group plc. Carol was previously a Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Audit Committee of Ricardo plc.

Carol brings extensive financial and risk management experience as well as defence sector knowledge to the Board. She is a qualified accountant and holds a qualification in governance from the Australian Institute of Directors. She has worked in a number of sectors including technology, energy and defence and in various countries including Australia, Denmark, the UK and Spain.

Keith Williams, Chair of Serco Group plc, said: "When I took over as Chair, I said we would make three new non-executive appointments in light of the tenure of some of the existing Board members and to provide supplementary skills to help the Company over its next phase of growth.  I am delighted to bring Carol on to the Board as the first of those appointments. The other appointments are progressing and will be announced in due course.

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Ian for his significant contribution over the last nine years and in particular for his time as Risk Committee Chair where he has successfully led the Committee in overseeing the effectiveness of the risk management function. I would also like to thank him personally for all his support and guidance over the last year and for agreeing to help Carol transition into the risk role."

There is no other information to be disclosed under paragraph 6.4.8R of the UK Listing Rules.
