Bank Audi has separated the roles of Chairman and General Manager–CEO, a change to its governance structure. 

Khalil El Debs was appointed to the newly defined position of General Manager–CEO, assuming day-to-day responsibility for running the bank's operations. 

#### HANNA TRANSITIONS TO NON-EXECUTIVE ROLE

Samir Hanna, who previously combined executive management responsibilities with the chairmanship of the board, has transitioned to a Non-Executive Chairman role. In that capacity, Hanna will focus on board oversight and long-term strategic direction, relinquishing direct involvement in the day-to-day management of the bank's commercial and financial operations. The separation formalises a distinction between executive leadership and board governance that had previously been held by a single senior figure.

#### REVISED STRUCTURE

Under the revised structure, the General Manager–CEO holds operational authority and direct management responsibility, while the Non-Executive Chairman leads the board without involvement in day-to-day executive decisions.
