Directorate Change
 
 
 
Micro Focus International plc ("Micro Focus") (LSE: MCRO.L, NYSE: MFGP) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company ("HPE") have decided to amend the terms of the Merger Agreement dated 7 September 2016 in respect of nominated directors.
 
Following the recent promotion of John Schultz to Chief Legal and Administrative Officer of HPE, Micro Focus and HPE have agreed that HPE should nominate an independent non-executive to replace John Schultz on the Micro Focus Board.
 
This will enable John Schultz to focus on his new responsibilities and enable Micro Focus to increase the mix of independent directors on the Board.  John Schultz will step down from the Board with immediate effect; a further announcement will be made when a candidate has been chosen.
