      De La Rue plc (“De La Rue” or the “Company”), the world’s leading security and anti-counterfeiting provider for banknotes, personal identity and brand protection, today announces that Jitesh Sodha, Chief Financial Officer, has informed the Board of his intention to step down to pursue his career outside of the Company.

      Jitesh resigns as a Director with immediate effect but will remain in the business until the end of September 2018 in order to ensure an orderly transition while a suitable successor is identified.

      Separately, the Board expects to update the market on the outturn for the year in the third week of April, and is currently expecting the result to be around the lower end of the current consensus range.

      Martin Sutherland, Chief Executive Officer of De La Rue said:

      “Jitesh has been a valued member of De La Rue’s management team. He has been instrumental in the execution of our strategic plan to diversify our business. I would like to thank Jitesh for his support and contributions during his tenure and wish him every success in the future.”

      De La Rue plc’s LEI code is 213800DH741LZWIJXP78.

      The person responsible for the release of this announcement on behalf of De La Rue plc is Ed Peppiatt (General Counsel and Company Secretary).

      *The market consensus of underlying operating profit for the financial year ending 31 March 2018 ranges between £71m and £73.4m. The consensus data can be found in the Investors section of our website www.delarue.com
