Haleon plc: Appointment of Vindi Banga as Chair

10 November 2025: Haleon plc (the "Company" or "Haleon") (LSE/NYSE: HLN) today announces the resignation of Sir Dave Lewis as Chair and appointment of Vindi Banga.

Dave Lewis will step down as Chair of the Board and as a Director of the Company on 31 December 2025 in order to pursue a new executive role. The Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Vindi Banga as Chair to succeed Dave with effect from 1 January 2026.

Vindi has served as Senior Independent Director on the Haleon Board since the Company's listing in 2022. The Board was unanimous in its appointment of Vindi given his wealth of global corporate and commercial leadership experience. He has an extensive track record of delivering outstanding performance in highly competitive global consumer-focused businesses and a deep understanding of operating across developed and emerging markets. He spent 33 years at Unilever plc, where he was also CEO and Chair of Hindustan Unilever Ltd, one of India's largest listed companies, and was also responsible for Global Home & Personal Care, Foods and Ice Cream and a member of the Unilever Executive Board.

Vindi also has extensive international Board experience. He is currently Chair of UK Government Investments Limited (UKGI) and has previously served as Senior Independent Director at GSK and Marks and Spencer plc. Vindi is a partner at CD&R, a leading private investment firm where he has chaired and served on the boards of several of the firm's portfolio companies. He is Chair of Council of Imperial College London.

Vindi's remuneration and the appointment of a successor as Senior Independent Director will be announced in due course and before Vindi's appointment as Chair takes effect. 

Sir Dave Lewis commented: "After more than three years Haleon is now well established as an independent listed company. The Board and Executive team are strong and the business is performing well in a tough environment. The leverage at demerger has been effectively addressed, the large overhang managed smoothly and the portfolio reshaping is progressing.

My decision to step down is a personal one and is related to a new unique opportunity which I wish to take forward. I would like to thank my Board colleagues, Brian and his team for their support and commitment. It has been a privilege to be part of Haleon and I am confident that the business has a bright future."

Vindi Banga commented: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Dave for his leadership and the considerable contribution he has made as Chair of Haleon since its listing in July 2022. It is a privilege to Chair Haleon and I look forward to working with the Board and management team to support Haleon's continued development."

The Company confirms that there is no further information to be disclosed under the requirements of UKLR 6.4.6R.
