("Manolete" or the "Company")

Directorate Change

Manolete (AIM:MANO), the leading quoted UK insolvency litigation financing company, is pleased to announce that Will Sawyer has agreed to join the Company as its Chief Financial Officer with effect from 15 December 2025.

Will has built a wealth of expertise in finance and accounting over his 25-year career to date, alongside the last seven years as a board member of a publicly listed company, providing him with highly relevant experience for the post. Will has today resigned from Zinc Media Group PLC, an AIM-listed Company where he has been the CFO since October 2018, to take up the role with Manolete. Prior to this he was the Finance Director of ITN Productions having previously qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Deloitte and worked as a corporate finance manager at the BBC.

Mena Halton, CEO of Manolete said, "I'm delighted that Will has agreed to join Manolete and look forward to him joining the Board in December. I would like to thank Rachel Lindley-Janes for her sterling work as Interim Head of Finance while we undertook a thorough review process to appoint a permanent CFO. As a seasoned public markets CFO, Will's extensive experience in finance and accounting make him ideally suited to the role, and I look forward to working with him to continue to grow the Manolete business."
