"Company")
Shareholder Agreement with Peter Hargreaves and related Board
Appointment of Adrian Collins
The Board of Hargreaves Lansdown plc (the "Board") is pleased to
announce that, following discussions between Peter Hargreaves and
the Board regarding how best to reflect Peter's continuing interest
in the Company whilst respecting the strong independent governance
principles of the Board, Hargreaves Lansdown has agreed with Peter
to enter into a new shareholder agreement (the "Agreement") to
govern their on-going relationship.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Peter, a co-founder of Hargreaves
Lansdown and the Company's largest shareholder, shall be entitled
to nominate one non-independent, non-executive director for
appointment to the Board, subject to the applicable regulatory and
governance framework that is observed by the Company. This
Agreement and nomination right shall remain in place for so long as
Peter and his associates' control or are entitled to control the
exercise of at least 10 per cent of the Company's voting
rights.
As a result, the Board is pleased to announce the appointment of
Adrian Collins as a non-independent non-executive director of the
Company, nominated to the Board as a shareholder representative of
Peter Hargreaves pursuant to the nomination right set out in the
Agreement. Adrian's appointment will take effect on 2 November

years, most recently at Liontrust Asset Management where he served

roles at Gartmore, Trustnet (which he co-founded), Jupiter,
Bestinvest and Lazard Investors. He is an experienced non-executive

Adrian will seek election by the Company's shareholders at the

delighted to welcome Adrian to the Board and look forward to
working with him going forward. Adrian's presence on the Board will
provide an avenue to harness Peter's wealth of experience, while

the highest standards of corporate governance as reflected in the
recent appointments of John Troiano, Andrea Blance and Moni
Mannings."

Hargreaves Lansdown. I look forward to playing my part in the
continued success and leadership of the Company."
