GREENCORE GROUP PLC
Audit Tender Process
Greencore Group plc ("Greencore", the "Group" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its intention to appoint Deloitte as external auditor with effect from the financial year ending 27 September 2019 ("FY19").
This appointment is a result of the mandatory rotation of external auditor following the introduction of EU audit reform and changes to the UK Corporate Governance Code.
The appointment follows a competitive tender process overseen by the Audit Committee. The Board would like to thank each of the other firms who participated in the audit tender process, and looks forward to working with Deloitte in the future.
KPMG, the Group's current auditor, will continue in its role as external auditor until the end of the audit for the financial year ending 28 September 2018 ("FY18").
The Board will formally recommend the new appointment to shareholders at the 2019 Annual General Meeting ("AGM").
