Appointment of an Non-Executive Director

PPHE Hotel Group, the international hospitality real estate group which develops, owns and operates hotels and resorts, announces the appointment of Stephanie Coxon as an independent non-executive director of the Company with immediate effect. Stephanie will sit on the Audit, Remuneration and Nomination Committees. This appointment has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

A qualified chartered accountant, with over 15 years of capital market expertise, Stephanie was a capital markets director at PwC where her role included advising asset managers on listing investment funds and real estate investment trusts (UK, Guernsey and Jersey) on the London Stock Exchange.

The appointment of Stephanie, as well as Nigel Keen earlier this year and Kenneth Bradley in 2019, forms part of a wider commitment by the Company to strengthen corporate governance and the Board with fresh independent experience. Following Stephanie's appointment, the Board now includes four independent non-executive directors.

Eli Papouchado, Chairman of PPHE Hotel Group said:

"I am delighted to welcome Stephanie to the Board of PPHE Hotel Group. The experience gained by Stephanie at PwC will be invaluable as we continue to address the unprecedented impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and support our long term growth in exploring new development opportunities. Stephanie's appointment further demonstrates our ongoing commitment to strengthen the corporate governance of the Company for the benefit of all stakeholders. The Board recognises that diversity in every aspect allows for a richer depth of perspective and enhances innovation. Stephanie has an international background and her capital markets, real estate fund and accounting experience reinforce essential skills for the Board. Her appointment also further enhances our overall Board diversity."
