David Cruickshank, Jupiter’s Chair, has informed the Company of his intention to retire from the Board later this year. To allow for an orderly handover, David will remain in role until a new Chair has been found, but he will not stand for re-election at Jupiter’s 2026 AGM.
The Company will therefore commence a search for a new Chair, in line with the Nomination Committee’s succession planning. The search will be led by Suzy Neubert, Senior Independent Director.
Accordingly, the resolutions being put to shareholders at our forthcoming AGM taking place on 8 May 2025 are unchanged and remain as stated in our Notice of Meeting.
David Cruickshank said:
“It has been a privilege to act as Chair for Jupiter, to lead the Board, and to support Matt and his leadership team with the progress they have made towards our strategic objectives.”
On behalf of the Board, Suzy Neubert, Senior Independent Director, said:
"David has provided great service and support to the Board during his tenure at Jupiter, first as chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and latterly as our Board Chair, and we thank him for all his efforts. Under David’s leadership, we have made significant strategic progress and we are focused on appointing a successor who can continue to build on this momentum.”
Matthew Beesley, Chief Executive Officer, said:
“I and my fellow Board members thank David for his guidance and support through the last four years and wish him well with his other commitments. He leaves Jupiter and the Board well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead.”
