LEI: 213800NNT42FFIZB1T09
26 February 2026

Foresight Group Holdings Limited ("Foresight" or the "Company")
Directorate Changes

Foresight announces the appointment of John Le Poidevin as a non-executive
director of the Company with effect from 1 April 2026. On joining the Board,
John will also become a member of the Audit and Risk, Nomination and
Remuneration Committees.

John is a highly experienced chartered accountant and former senior audit
partner at BDO LLP, where he led the firm’s Consumer Markets practice in
London, acting as lead audit partner to major UK and international companies
and supporting numerous successful flotations, sales and refinancings. His two
decades advising publicly listed and private equity‑backed businesses have
given him deep expertise in corporate governance, audit, risk management and
financial reporting.

Combined with extensive non‑executive experience across listed funds and
international groups, John brings strong technical audit capability, a
rigorous approach to risk and controls, and a clear understanding of
public‑market governance. These skills will directly support the Board’s
oversight of the Group’s strategy, strengthen its approach to risk and
financial reporting and enhance its governance and capital‑markets alignment
as Foresight continues to scale its real assets and energy transition
investment strategies.

The Company also announces that Geoffrey Gavey will retire from the Board at
the conclusion of the 2026 Annual General Meeting (the "AGM").  Following
Geoff's retirement and with effect from the conclusion of the AGM, John will
assume the role of Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee.

Bernard Fairman, Executive Chairman of Foresight Group Holdings Limited,
commented:
"We are delighted to welcome John to the Board. His depth of audit and
governance experience will add meaningful strength to our oversight and
support the continued development of the Company. We look forward to working
with him.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Geoff for his
long-standing and highly valued contribution to Foresight and for his
leadership of the Audit and Risk Committee. The Board is grateful for his
service and wishes him well for the future."

This announcement is made pursuant to UK Listing Rule 6.4.6R. No other
information is required to be disclosed pursuant to UK Listing Rule 6.4.8R in
relation to this appointment.
