Further to the announcement on 26 July 2024, NatWest Group plc

2025.
Rick Haythornthwaite, Chair of NWG, said:
"I would like to thank Mark Seligman for his significant
contribution to the Board and its committees since his appointment
in April 2017. During his tenure, Mark has dedicated significant
time to NatWest and has been a highly valued director and
colleague. We will miss his wise counsel and contributions around
the Board table. He leaves with our very best wishes for the
future.
Lena Wilson is a highly experienced Board member who has
demonstrated strong leadership and is highly regarded by her fellow
directors. I am confident she will make a valuable
contribution to the Board as Senior Independent Director. In
addition, Lena will continue to chair the Group Performance &
Remuneration Committee.
Finally, I am delighted to welcome Gill Whitehead to the NWG Board.
Gill's deep expertise in data science and analytics,
emerging customer focused technologies, global technology
regulation and digital transformation are all highly relevant
skills. She will be a strong addition to the Board."
