Vectura Release: Board Change

Trevor Phillips, Chief Operations Officer to step down at the Annual General Meeting on 25 May 2017

Chippenham, UK – 6 March 2017: Vectura Group plc (LSE: VEC) (“Vectura”, “the Group”, “the Company”), an industry-leading device and formulation business for inhaled airways disease, announces that Trevor Phillips, Vectura’s Chief Operations Officer and President of US Operations (“COO”), will step down from the Board at the AGM on 25 May 2017 and leave the Company on 31 May 2017.

Since joining Vectura Trevor has played an integral leadership role in Vectura’s successful development, including the acquisition of Activaero in 2014 and the merger with Skyepharma in 2016.

Following the merger with Skyepharma, in which Trevor has headed up the integration activities, Trevor has additionally led the development of the Manufacturing, Device Industrialisation and Supply Chain teams of the enlarged Vectura group. A recruitment process will now commence for a suitably experienced individual to lead the Group’s Supply Chain and Manufacturing operations. This new role will not be a Board position.

James Ward-Lilley, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“I would like to extend my personal thanks to Trevor for the support he has given me and for the highly professional way in which he has carried out his role in the business. Trevor has been with Vectura since 2010 and in that time he has been a significant driver of the transition of the Group into the business it is today. Having managed the initial integration of Skyepharma and Vectura, Trevor and I agreed that the AGM would be an appropriate time for him to transition out of the Company. The Board and I would like to thank Trevor for his contribution throughout his tenure, and we wish him well in his future endeavours.”

The information required to be made available under section 430(2B) of the Companies Act 2006 in relation to Trevor Phillips will be made available in the Investors section of the Company’s website www.vectura.com in due course.
