CONFIRMATION OF AUDITOR RESIGNATION AND TRANSITION
Royal Mail plc (RMG.L) announces that a Statement of
Circumstances (the Statement) from Ernst & Young LLP (EY),
confirming its resignation as the Company's Auditor, was received
by the Company on 17 September 2015 in accordance with Section 519
of the Companies Act 2006. Copies of the Statement received and the
covering letter sent to shareholders has been submitted to the
National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for
inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
As you may recall, we first reported our intention to hold a
competitive audit tender process in our Annual Report &
Financial Statements 2013-14. We initiated this process in light of
emerging best practice, new requirements with respect to audit
tenure and the fact that the existing auditor, EY had been
incumbent for some time. As confirmed in our most recent Annual
Report & Financial Statements 2014-15, a rigorous tender
process was conducted, which resulted in the Royal Mail plc Board
recommending to shareholders that KPMG LLP be appointed as auditor
of the Company with effect from the 2015-16 financial year.
Shareholders overwhelmingly endorsed this appointment at the Annual
General Meeting held on 23 July 2015.
