On December 16, 2024, Huron Consulting Group Inc. (the “Company” or “Huron”) announced that the board appointed Hugh Sawyer as the independent, non-executive Chair of the board of directors (“Board”) effective as of January 1, 2025. Mr. Sawyer will succeed John M. McCartney, who has served as Chair since May 2010. Mr. McCartney will continue to serve as a director on the Board.

Mr. Sawyer has served as a member of the Board since February 2018, serves as Chair of the Compensation Committee and serves on the Audit and the Finance and Capital Allocation Committees.
A copy of the press release announcing the Board leadership transition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
