Proposed Appointment of RSM UK Audit LLP (“RSM”) as Auditor
The Company announces that, following the conclusion of a competitive audit tender process, the Board has approved the recommendation of the Audit and Valuation Committee that RSM be appointed as the Company’s external auditor for the financial year ending 31 December 2027, replacing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”). A resolution to appoint RSM will be put to shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company scheduled for June 2027. PwC will continue as the Company’s auditor until the conclusion of that meeting, including in respect of the audit of the financial year ending 31 December 2026.
In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Company commenced an audit tender process in June 2026, where a number of firms were invited to participate in a review of the Company’s external audit arrangements for the financial year ending 31 December 2027. Firms were asked to confirm their participation in the tender by mid-July 2026. Following an initial assessment, three firms were shortlisted and invited to present to the Audit and Valuation Committee in early October 2026. Following a thorough evaluation, the Audit and Valuation Committee made its final selection on 11 November 2026 and recommended to the Board that RSM be appointed, which the Board approved on the same date. The Board would like to thank PwC for its service to the Company as auditor.
