Standard Chartered PLC (02888) released a clarification announcement dated 10 February 2026, correcting a typographical error in its earlier statement regarding the appointment of interim Group Chief Financial Officer. The revised English version clarifies that newly appointed interim GCFO, Peter (“Pete”) Burrill (aged 54), “has extensive sectoral experience.” According to the clarification, there is no change to the Chinese version of the earlier announcement, and other details remain the same.

Burrill, previously serving as Group Head of Central Finance and Deputy Chief Financial Officer at Standard Chartered, succeeds former GCFO and Executive Director Diego De Giorgi. De Giorgi steps down immediately to pursue an external opportunity. No 2025 annual incentive award or 2026 Long Term Incentive Plan award will be granted to De Giorgi; he will continue to receive his salary and benefits until his final date of employment. A separate announcement on the permanent GCFO appointment will follow in due course.

The board chair remains Maria da Conceicao das Neves Calha Ramos, and Bill Winters continues as Group Chief Executive. Other board members are disclosed in the announcement and are unchanged. The company maintains that the correction does not affect other information or the Chinese-language version of the previous announcement.
