Board and Committee changes


GSK plc (LSE/NYSE: GSK) has today announced the following changes to its Board and Committees, which took effect immediately following the demerger of the Consumer Healthcare business on Monday 18 July 2022 (the Demerger):
Charles Bancrofthas succeeded Vindi Banga as Senior Independent Non-Executive Director. Mr Bancroft has also been appointed a member of the Remuneration Committee.
Urs Rohnerhas been appointed a member of the Audit & Risk Committee.
Dr Anne Bealhas been appointed a member of the Remuneration and Nominations & Corporate Governance committees.
Dr Vishal Sikkawho joined the Board on 18 July 2022 has been appointed a member of the Corporate Responsibility Committee. In addition, Dr Sikka will attend Audit & Risk Committee meetings to support the Committee's oversight of GSK's Digital and Technology programme.
The Board has determined that given the refreshment of the Board following the Demerger and the Company's renewed focus the whole Board will engage with the workforce to gather employees' perspectives rather than designating a specific Non-Executive Director for this purpose. A programme of events is in place to facilitate engagement with employees to gather and understand directly their views.
As previously announced:
Vindi Bangaand Dame Vivienne Cox stepped down from the GSK Board upon their appointments to the Haleon plc Board effective on Demerger.
Lynn Elsenhansretired from the Board effective from the Demerger.
These changes continue the transition of the Board as an independent biopharma company post separation. GSK expects to announce further Non-Executive Director appointments shortly.
