METRO BANK PLC APPOINTS A NEW NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Metro Bank today announces that Dorita Gilinski will join the
Board as a Non-Executive Director on 26 September 2022.
Dorita's appointment follows Sally Clark's departure from the
Board at the end of June. She was nominated by her father, Jaime
Gilinski Bacal, who has a 9.12% shareholding in Metro Bank, through
his Spaldy Investments Limited vehicle. Dorita is currently the
President of JGB Financial Holding Company and a member of the
Board of Directors of Banco GNB Paraguay, and therefore brings
significant experience in banking (including digital banking and
marketing) as well as strategic planning and stakeholder
engagement. Dorita is a graduate of the University of Oxford and
holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.
Dorita will not be considered independent for the purposes of
the UK Corporate Governance Code, nor will she receive a fee or
join any Board committees at this stage.
Following her appointment the Board will comprise 70%
independent Directors and 36% women.
Dorita does not hold any directorships in any other publicly
quoted companies and there is no further information to be
disclosed under the requirements of Listing Rule 9.6.13R in
relation to her appointment.
Commenting, Robert Sharpe, Metro Bank Chair said: "I am
delighted that Dorita has agreed to join the Board. She brings
valuable industry perspective and banking expertise. Her
appointment further enhances the Board's commitment to ensure that
investor views are considered in all aspects of the Bank's strategy
and decision making to maximise shareholder value."
Dorita Gilinski added: "I look forward to joining the Board at
this exciting point in the turnaround plan and contributing towards
its strategic direction and oversight. Metro Bank continues to make
strong progress and I believe it has a very bright future as
Britain's leading community bank."
