London, 8 February 2021 - Pension Insurance Corporation plc ("PIC"), a specialist insurer of defined benefit pension funds, today announces that Hon. Group Captain Sally Bridgeland has joined its Board as Independent Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Risk Committee. The appointment has been approved by the PRA.

At the same time, Rob Sewell, an Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of PIC, has announced his intention to retire from the company by the end of 2021. A search for his successor is underway.

The Risk Committee provides oversight and advice to the Board on PIC's risk exposures, risk appetite, risk management and risk controls, including the effectiveness of the risk management framework.

Sally is also Honorary Group Captain, 601 Squadron Royal Auxiliary Air Force.

Jon Aisbitt, Chairman of Pension Insurance Corporation, said: "We are delighted to welcome Sally as an Independent Non-Executive Director and are sorry that Steve is retiring. Sally brings with her a wealth of experience from a long and varied career as an actuary, adviser and expert in pensions and investment. Sally's experience, perspective and strong leadership skills will be invaluable as she chairs this important Board committee.

"I also want to thank in the warmest terms the previous Risk Committee Chairman, Steve Sarjant, who has provided strong direction and oversight, and overseen its development during his tenure. Steve has served on PIC's Board since 2014, providing challenge and an outside perspective that has been invaluable over the past six years."

Sally Bridgeland, Independent Non-Executive Director at PIC, said: "PIC sets a high benchmark in the pension risk transfer industry because the company is focused on its purpose. PIC's approach to risk management is dictated by this focus and I am delighted to be chairing the Risk Committee and joining the wider Board."
